Study Session Agenda,January 31,2012 Page 1 of 1 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: January 31, 2012 City Manager Sign-off: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: 2012 Senske Park Maintenance Contract GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approved 2010 and 2011 Park Maintenance contract with Senske Lawn and Tree Care Inc. BACKGROUND: In 2009, Park maintenance services were publically bid to award a new contract for 2010. Senske Lawn and Tree Care was the low bidder on the new 2010 contract and they completed their second year under the contract in 2011. The contract, approved by the City Council, was for one year with six one-year renewals based upon satisfactory performance. The existing agreement allows for additional facilities to be added by mutual consent. The park maintenance contract is based upon maintenance standards and a described maintenance schedule. The original scope of work requires the contractor to provide all materials and supplies to complete the work as described. Additionally the contractor is required to be responsible for all support facilities, customer service and the levels of service that have been established for developed parks, medians and rights of way, and undeveloped lands. The contract contains a detailed description of routine tasks (mowing, trimming, cleaning restrooms, cleaning picnic shelters, playground inspections, litter pick up, ball field maintenance, etc.); periodic/seasonal tasks (fertilizer applications, edging turf, aeration, irrigation activation/deactivation, snow removal, graffiti, etc.); facilitating special events and working with the public are required tasks. The maintenance standards established by staff include such standards as the height of mowed turf, number of fertilizer applications, daily restroom cleaning to specific specifications, etc. For 2012, a 1% contract increase has been negotiated for the existing contract. This increase is to cover the increasing cost of materials such as fuel, fertilizer, weed control and raw materials such as steel and copper along with such items as worker's compensation and insurance. Also for 2012, new maintenance responsibilities will be added to the contract in the form of Greenacres Park and a new picnic shelter at Terrace View Park both coming online. The cost increase for these two additional responsibilities was negotiated for $68,258.61. The negotiated increases for the addition of Greenacres Park and the Terrace View shelter are consistent with what we are currently paying for the same tasks and responsibilities in our current contract such as the cost of mowing per acre, restroom or shelter cleanup, litter control, playground inspections, etc. Therefore staff is recommending the cost for the 2012 Park Maintenance contract with Senske Lawn and Tree Care to be $680,801.26 which includes the maintenance of Greenacres Park beginning in June 2012 and the maintenance of the Terrace View Picnic shelter all year long. 2011 $606,477.88 Total cost 2012 $680,801.26 Total proposed cost* *total increase includes $6,064.77 for 1% increase, $8,304.68 for Terrace View Shelter and $59,953.93 for Greenacres Park. OPTIONS: Provide additional direction to staff. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve second option renewal for implementation of the 2012 option year per Park Maintenance Contract No. 09-222, with Senske Lawn & Tree Care in the amount of $680,801.26, and authorize the City Manager or designee to execute said contract amendment. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2012 Park Maintenance contract is funded within the 2012 Park and Recreation Department which was adopted with additional funding for the addition of Greenacres Park and the Terrace View picnic shelter.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget State law requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2012 Budget when it was adopted on November 15, 2011. BACKGROUND: Throughout the 2012 Budget development process a number of capital projects were discussed by Council but not included in the initial budget that was adopted via Ordinance#11-017 on November 15, 2011. The December 6, 2011 Council meeting included a discussion on potential 2012 capital projects and at that time the Council expressed interest in amending into the 2012 Budget three capital projects including the West Gateway at Thierman project estimated at $120,000; a railroad quiet zone study at Park and Vista (UP only) estimated to cost $83,000; and Sprague Swale upgrades estimated to cost $630,000. The proposed 2012 Budget amendment reflects these additions and will affect 2 funds resulting in total appropriation/expenditure increases of $750,000 including $120,000 for the West Gateway at Thierman Project and $630,000 for the Sprague Swale upgrades. The 2012 Budget was adopted with an appropriation of $1,086,881 in Fund #311 — Street Capital Improvements 2011+, with no specific projects in mind but with the understanding that City staff would seek Council approval prior to expending any of these monies. We are proposing that the $83,000 estimated cost for the railroad quiet zone studies be expended from this fund and consequently no formal budget amendment would be necessary. Assuming the Council proceeds with this project, a total of $443,000 of Fund #311 would be committed including the $83,000 railroad quiet zone studies and $360,000 for temporary Sullivan Street Bridge repairs.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council has discussed capital projects on a variety of occasions but to date no action has been taken on the projects addressed in this RCA. BACKGROUND: The City is continually faced with a multitude of potential capital projects but may address them with very limited financial resources including current year revenues, fund reserves built up from previous years, grants and bond issues. Potential sources of financing for projects include money in Funds 101, 311 and 403: Appropriated Amount in 2012 Sources of Financing for Projects: Available Budget?

A Quiet Zone is a crossing that has been enhanced with additional safety measures and has been approved by the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA) as a location where trains are not required to blow their whistle. At the 12/07/2010 Council Meeting staff was asked to move forward by preparing a scope of work with an engineering firm to further evaluate the quiet zone. We selected a consultant from our roster and have attached their scope of work and fee. The scope of work includes stakeholder and neighborhood meetings, coordination with UPRR and FRA, evaluation of different improvement options, 90% design and cost estimates for the work, and filing of the preliminary paperwork with the FRA to establish the quiet zone. This scope would take the City to the point where a decision would need to be made on how to fund the required crossing improvements. The estimated fee for this work is $82,551. Staff has had some dialogue with the City of Millwood. Their Council is aware that we may move forward with the design and would like to be kept involved in the process and solutions. They are not interested in closing their crossing at Marguerite. They also have concerns about how a quiet zone at Vista would impact traffic flow on Euclid between the two jurisdictions. Concern was also expressed about the cost/benefit of the project as some citizens in the area have gotten used to the noise and are not bothered by the trains. Even if Park and Vista are made into quiet zones the trains would still use horns for the Marguerite and Argonne crossings. If the City desires to move forward with construction, then additional engineering, construction inspection, and coordination with UPRR and FRA would be required. This stage is not covered in the attached scope of work. At the July 26, 2011 Council meeting, council voted to table the motion. At the 8/9/11 Council meeting a request was made for additional information on the cost of wayside horns. Staff has made inquires with two suppliers. The cost is heavily dependent on the number of approaches that require horns, and for these locations, horns may be needed on Utah and Rutter in addition to Park and Vista. One company estimated installations at $65,000 to $180,000 per crossing. This does not include the cost for design, construction inspection, maintenance or the cost to install gates at Park. OPTIONS: Proceed with recommended motion as written or modified; or give other direction. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: 1. First Motion: I move to remove from the table, the motion to authorize the City Manager or designee to finalize and execute a contract with David Evans and Associates for approximately $82,551 to proceed with their scope of work to identify the improvements, policies and strategies needed to accomplish quiet zone implementation, [This motion must be seconded, is not debatable, not amendable, and requires a majority vote.] 2. Based on the outcome of the first motion, discussion could then continue on the original motion. 3. After discussion, Council may vote on the original motion, which was to "authorize the City Manager or designee to finalize and execute a contract with David Evans and Associates for approximately $82,551 to proceed with their scope of work to identify the improvements, policies and strategies needed to accomplish quiet zone implementation." BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $82,551 currently not budgeted. May require a budget amendment to transfer from end of fund balance, STAFF CONTACT: Neil Kersten, Public Works Director; Inga Note, Senior Traffic Engineer ATTACHMENTS: 1. Scope of Work and Estimate 2. Excerpt from July 26, 2011 Council Meeting Minutes: 5. Motion Consideration: Railroad Quiet Zone—Neil Kersten It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to finalize and execute a contract with David Evans and Associates for approximately $82,551 to proceed with their scope of work to identify the improvements, policies and strategies needed to accomplish quiet zone implementation. Traffic Engineer Note went over the background of this proposal as explained previously. Council/staff discussion included mention of the cost estimates and that they could be as much as one-half million dollars; that the entire process could take as long as five years and one to one and one-half years just to acquire the approval to proceed; mention that a citizen commented previously that they felt the railroad has softened the situation and perhaps this would not be necessary, with mention from Ms.Note that she has not heard that or similar comments, and a reminder from Ms.Note that regardless of acquiring a"quiet zone" the railroad would still be required to blow their whistles. It was moved by Councilmember Gothmann, seconded and unanimously approved to table this issue until more information can be obtained. Ms. Note said staff will do additional research in an effort to determine whether the areas can be monitored for compliance, and if possible determine if citizens feel the situation has improved. CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: January 31, 2012 Department Director Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Evergreen Rd Preservation Project— 16th to 32nd GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: BACKGROUND: VERA Water and Power notified the Public Works Department last fall that they wanted to construct a 20-inch waterline under Evergreen Road from 19th Ave south to 32nd Ave and under 32nd Ave from Evergreen Road east to Best Road. Due to the poor condition of Evergreen Road between 24th Ave and 32nd Ave staff sees this as an opportunity to partner with VERA and replace the entire roadway with full-width paving. This is similar to what has been done in the past eight years with Spokane County's sewer projects. VERA agreed to postpone their waterline project to 2012 to allow the city time to evaluate costs and design options for the restoration of Evergreen Road. Evergreen Road and 32nd Ave are listed in the updated Pavement Management Program (PMP) for preservation work (mill and overlay) within the next three years. The total estimated cost for this preservation work is $493,000. See Table 1. Proposed Preservation — Mill & Overlay Est. PMP cost Evergreen Rd — 16th to 24th PMP Project #74 (2014) $220,000 Evergreen Rd —24th to 32nd PMP Project #49 (2013) $178,000 32nd Ave— SR27 to Best PMP Project #7 (2012) $ 95,000 Total $493,000 Table 1 — Proposed Preservation Work from 2011 Pavement Management Program Staff reviewed the following for potential improvements associated with this proposed project: • preserving and/or completely reconstructing portions of Evergreen Rd and 32nd Ave • widening in areas to allow for the addition of bike lanes on both sides • accommodation of existing on-street parking in curbed areas • constructing missing sidewalks on the east side • Based on current road conditions, PMP recommendations, cost, availability of funds, and pedestrian/bicycle improvements, staff proposes the following improvements in conjunction with VERA's waterline project. Location Proposed Work Est. cost Evergreen Rd — 16th to 24th Trench/patch existing road, widen as necessary, 2" overlay Evergreen Rd —24th to 32nd Remove/replace all asphalt $630,000 32nd Ave— SR27 to Best Trench/patch existing road, 2" overlay Sidewalk— 24th to 32nd Purchase ROW, construct sidewalk $54,000 Total $684,000 Table 2— Proposed Roadwork in Conjunction with VERA Waterline Project Upon completion of the waterline work and road reconstruction/preservation Evergreen Road will consist of two lanes (one in each direction), left turn pockets at 24th and 32nd, bike lanes on both sides, on-street parking in locations where it currently exists, and a completed sidewalk on the east side from 24th Ave to 32nd Ave. Staff believes these improvements will provide a road that will last 12-15 years and accommodate bicycles and pedestrians along this route served by STA. VERA has agreed that should the city decide to move ahead with plans to improve the roadways as described above, the city would become the lead on this project. City staff would prepare the road plans and insert VERA's waterline plans to bid as one project. VERA would then reimburse the city for all costs associated with the construction of the waterline. Attached for review is a draft Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) that will need to be approved by council in order to proceed with this approach. OPTIONS: Discussion only. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion only. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The total cost of the proposed work on Evergreen Rd and 32nd Ave is estimated to be $630,000. This estimate includes $78,000 in contingency. An additional $54,000 is estimated to complete the sidewalks on the east side from 24th to 32nd Since the PMP recommends approximately $500,000 in preservation funding for this portion of Evergreen Rd and 32nd Ave, staff suggests that the $500,000 designated for Street Preservation in the Street Fund (#101) be used to pay for a majority of the proposed improvements. It is suggested that the remaining $184,000 needed to complete these improvements come from the Street Capital Improvements 2011+ Fund (#311). See Table 3 below. Fund Amount #101 Street Fund $500,000 #311 Street Capital Improvements $184,000 Total $684,000 Table 3— Proposed Funding This estimate does not include staff design or construction inspection costs. These staff costs are proposed to be charged to the Public Works General Fund. STAFF CONTACT: Steve M.

RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: N/Z STAFF CONTACT: Scott Kuhta, Planning Manager ATTACHMENTS: Draft Economic Development Chapter City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan CHAPTER 7 — ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT 7.0 Introduction and Purpose A city can foster economic development to achieve its goals by anticipating and responding to changes in the local, regional, national and international economies. For Spokane Valley, these goals include providing for economic stability through economic diversity and encouraging a broad range of jobs to help employ the community's residents. A city's economic development actions can include activities primarily directed toward economic development and those undertaken for other reasons, but that also produce economic benefits. Examples of activities primarily directed toward economic development include allocating land for manufacturing uses, extending water and sewer systems to business sites, providing tax credits and incentives, and advance planning to accommodate growth. Examples of activities with economic benefits as secondary impacts include providing an efficient transportation system, encouraging high quality schools, providing for affordable housing, streamlining permit processes and providing park and recreation facilities and activities that improve the quality of life. Market-driven economic growth depends upon the decisions of individuals and firms; most jobs and investments are generated by private businesses. Local governments must also contend with forces beyond local control, such as changes in the regional, national and international economies. These changes result from numerous individual decisions and changes in economic and social trends. However, local governments can plan to take advantage of favorable trends and lessen the impact of unfavorable trends. Local governments also can hinder economic development through ill-advised policies, such as fiscal zoning which involves zoning more land than is needed for uses that produce relatively high tax revenues. 7.1 Planning Context 7.1.1 Washington State Growth Management Act The Growth Management Act (GMA) includes economic development as one of its basic goals. It considers the need to stimulate economic development throughout the state, but requires that these activities be balanced with the need to protect the physical environment. It encourages the efficient use of land, the availability of urban services, and the financing strategies necessary to pay for infrastructure. Finally, the GMA mandates that communities do their planning and then provide the zoning and regulatory environment so that appropriate development can occur. GMA recognizes that while the public sector can shape and influence development, it is the private sector that generates community growth. The GMA goal regarding economic development provides: RCW 36.70A.020(5) Economic development — Encourage economic development throughout the state that is consistent with adopted comprehensive plans, promote economic opportunity for all citizens of this state, especially for unemployed and for disadvantaged persons... and encourage growth... all within the capacities of the state's natural resources, public services, and public facilities. The GMA requires an economic development element be included in comprehensive plans (RCW 36.70A.070 (7)). An economic development element must include the following: • A summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate; • A summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the commercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education, work force, housing, and natural/cultural resources; and, Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-2,7-1-07Q12) Chapter 7— Economic Development Page 1 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • An identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future needs. 7.1.2 County Wide Planning Policies The Spokane County Wide Planning Policies (CWPPs) required by GMA (RCW 36.70A.210) and adopted in 1994 with subsequent amendments in 1996, 1997 and 2004, provide a regional framework to achieve goals of the GMA. The CWPPs establish overall policy direction that calls for greater cooperation and coordination between the private sector and government in measuring both the performance of the local economy and the relationship between economic development and preservation of the area's natural environment and quality of life.. In addition, the CWPPs emphasize the need for a regional (Eastern Washington and Northern Idaho) approach to the critical environmental issues of water and air quality; recognize the importance of central business areas, and the benefits of locating housing and regional transportation facilities in close proximity to employment centers. CWPP pertinent to the City of Spokane Valley include: Policies: 1. Include an economic development element in each jurisdiction's comprehensive plan that establishes local goals, policies, objectives, and provisions for economic growth and vitality and a high quality of life, The element shall include: a. a summary of the local economy such as population, employment, payroll, sectors, businesses, sales, and other information as appropriate; b. a summary of the strengths and weaknesses of the local economy defined as the commercial and industrial sectors and supporting factors such as land use, transportation, utilities, education, work force, housing, and natural/cultural resources; and c. an identification of policies, programs, and projects to foster economic growth and development and to address future needs. A city that has chosen to be a residential community is exempt from the economic development element requirement of the GMA. 2. Jurisdictions should adopt in their comprehensive plans economic development policies which will help protect the environment as a key economic value in the region. 4. Maintain the integrity of downtowns (Central Business Districts) as centers for retail, business and cultural activity. 5. Each jurisdiction should designate sites for industrial and service employers to encourage them to locate throughout urban areas in proximity to housing and regional transportation facilities (including public transportation). 7.2 Summary of Local Economy Economic data, including employment information, is collected by the State of Washington at both the County level and for the Spokane Metropolitan Statistical Area (MSA).

Its proximity to Idaho and the mountains provides excellent recreational opportunities throughout the year. Sportsmen appreciate the opportunities for hunting and fishing within the Inland Northwest. Spokane Valley is strategically located along Interstate-90 with an excellent transportation system linking air freight, rail and freight terminals. It has an ample supply of land designated for commercial and industrial purposes. Plentiful vacant and underdeveloped land is located in close proximity to the scenic Spokane River. The Spokane Industrial Park located on SR 290 (Trent Road) houses a 325,000 square foot Foreign Trade Zone (FTZ) designated by the U.S. Department of Commerce in November 2002 and activated in February 2004. The FTZ was allocated by the Spokane International Airport System from Felts Field to its present location in Spokane Valley. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 0'1-2 7-1001 7) Chapter 7 — Economic Development Page 17 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan FTZ benefits importers by allowing them to defer import duties on shipments until the cargo is transshipped to another location within the United States, or to avoid those duties when imported freight is exported out of the country. Inland Empire Distribution Systems (IEDS) operates the FTZ, providing third party logistics and a public warehouse. The FTZ is also the site of the only U.S. Customs authorized Container Freight Station (CFS) which allows sealed in-bound containers to clear Customs in Spokane Valley. CFS is a federal service provided to individuals and businesses through the SpokanelCoeur d'Alene area. IEDS also provides the only public railroad transloader service in the Inland Northwest (Spokane/CDA Area) for both the BNSF and Union Pacific Railroads. Because of its location adjacent to the City of Spokane, Spokane Valley may be eligible to seek expansion of the Spokane Community Empowerment Zone for qualified Census block groups. Expansion of the Empowerment Zone will allow participating businesses to take advantage of sales tax deferrals and Washington business and occupation tax credits in exchange for expanding the employment opportunities available to low and moderate income individuals residing within the area. A wide variety of retail outlets provide goods for the region. Of major importance in Spokane Valley are automotive and recreational vehicle sales concentrated along Sprague Avenue at 1-90. These businesses and others in manufacturing, service, transportation, and wholesale/distribution are well represented by the Valley Chamber of Commerce, she sixth largest chamber In the State of Washington,which boasts over 700-900 members. {ya gy_ctiambber2010Annual Report} The Spokane area hosts a number of accredited institutions of higher education including community colleges, universities (both public and private) and private technical and business schools. Local K-12 public and private school programs have sought partnerships with these institutions to meet the training needs of a future work force. These institutions, particularly the community college system, have been active in seeking to meet the re-training needs of older workers displaced by losses of manufacturing jobs, and are receptive to developing partnerships with the local business community. Among these, the Spokane intercollegiate Research and Technology Institute (SIRTI) is a Washington State-funded, economic development agency that advances the growth of emerging technology companies in the Inland Northwest. SIRTI's commercialization services aim at helping clients bring innovative technologies to market while positioning them to compete globally. These services include: strategic planning, market research, business plan development, marketing, connections to technology managerial talent, and access to funding sources, as well as providing flexible, state-of-the-art incubator facilities. SIRTI also helps to build the Northwest's technology workforce by providing paid internships to eligible students from regional colleges and universities. The Small Business Development Center(SBDC) is a cooperative effort between Washington State University and the US Small Business Administration. Counselors provide one-on-one, confidential assistance at no charge for management and technical business affairs, such as start, purchase or the sale of a business, choosing and incorporating new technology, financial management, business plan development. market plan development, and business research. In 2010, small businesses in Washington State saw their se es decrease an average of one percent_ However. clients who worked with SBDC advisors saw their sales increase an average of nearly four Dement fsaDC,201it Advances in technology and local investment in fiber-optic cable networks represent a significant competitive advantage in attracting information-based business to Spokane Valley. Spokane Valley is also the beneficiary of high quality medical facilities which serve a wide region, extending beyond Washington. The presence of these facilities has attracted a large number of active retirees who represent a well-educated and highly-skilled resource for local employers. Housing in the Spokane Valley is of high quality and affordable in all density ranges. Plentiful water and power is provided by local utility purveyors at rates that are reasonable. In addition to the many businesses focused on the prosperity of Spokane Valley, the City is fortunate to have a large number of professional, volunteer, service and faith-based organizations Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 01I-27-102012) Chapter 7 — Economic Development Page 18 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan committed to community development and improvement. Citizens are engaged in the development of the new city and have dedicated countless hours to developing ideas which would promote economic development and job creation. Another important piece of the regional economic development picture is Greater Spokane Inc, iformerly Spokane Area Ec ,nomic_Development Council). —L w pakane Area C nomlc Development Council. Since 1974, Greater Spokane Inc. ( SI)the Speka ie-Area—EDC has established a proven track record, strong leadership, and :solid industry expertise as "the starting point" for regionally focused economic development. The role of G Lt#e--It C-is to implement a business-focused strategy that proactively promotes Spokane's business identity, facilitates job growth and business expansion, and leverages available resources to provide effective solutions. While organized as an independent not-for-profit corporation funded by both public and private entities, the G I-Spokane Area EGG works collaboratively with key partners across the region. Spokane Neighborhood Action Programs (SNAP) provides programs to empower low income individuals and families with opportunities promoting financial independence. The SNAP Economic Development programs offer financial tools and education to promote sound money management and investment in assets, including business ownership, home ownership, higher education and transportation. The MicroEnterprise Development Program is operated by SNAP, along with public and private partners, to help qualified individuals develop a business plan, acquire capital and start or expand a business. Perhaps the most Important aspect of economic development is the City's cvntinuina efforts to streamline the permlitinp process and tb ensure re c uulatians are fair and predictablefor businesses. Efficient permitting processes are a kz factor for com+anlas searchIno for suitable locations to guild or extend their business oierations. In order to remain com.etitiv- h- mug ontinuall evaluate its permittin. +rocess to ensure a timely and predictable outcome, Regulations must also be continrraf€v monitored and amended as necessary to make sure the City Is not unduly burdening businesses. Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update Oi-27-102012) Chapter 7-- Economic Development Page 19 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 7.32 Weaknesses The City of Spokane Valley has yet to establish its own unique identity within the region. The lack of an identifiable city center and an overabundance of marginal commercial centers and strip development from an earlier era remain a part of the urban landscape. While they represent opportunities for redevelopment, they present very real challenges for economic development in the present. The costs of redevelopment are significantly higher than those with new development, and regulatory barriers often represent considerable obstacles to reinvestment in an aged infrastructure. Property subdivided in the past may need to be reassembled to meet development objectives at a significant cost to the investor in both time and money. The development experience of the last twenty years has shown the importance of attracting the proper tenant mix in a successful commercial project. To be successful today, retail development must be clean, well lit, landscaped and attractive, with convenient parking. More importantly, it must be perceived as safe with easy access. Existing buildings and properties are often not easily redeveloped to meet this criteria. Land development in the Spokane Valley has not had the advantages'of urban planning at critical periods in its development. As a result, incompatibilities exist between adjacent land uses. This will be corrected over time as the City directs its own development. Development standards of the past have focused on rural rather than the urban types of development now mandated by the Growth Management Act. In some cases, the area continues to experience the effects of poor environmental practices in the past. As the information age advances, industrial development has moved from traditional manufacturing activities to business parks which combine corporate offices, call centers and electronic assembly of parts in an office/campus environment. Traditional warehousing has been replaced with "just in time delivery and an increased dependence on efficient transportation movements. Business reliance on Internet access has replaced other more traditional methods of communication and sales. Unfortunately, many industrial properties have yet to be retrofitted to different standards. Because the historical economic base was predicated on manufacturing, as is the case within the entire Spokane area, the local labor force has not always adapted quickly enough to these changes in market conditions. Losses in manufacturing have displaced local workers without the skills required for work in highly technical jobs. Spokane Valley's location, only minutes from the Idaho state line, represents a significant challenge to local economic development efforts. The many services supported by the State of Washington's complex wage and tax structure place business and industrial development at a competitive disadvantage when compared with similar ventures in Idaho only a few miles away. Many of these weaknesses may be more perceived than real, but all have contributed to an image which will require time and focused community effort to correct. .7 4—•St rafikieFA ry lew e icirrifc Ai i4 ie F . € II City-ef- ppoane V they cgr4rmmi } O '�{*l as to analyze tYh�-1 IIowIngi .—Tno-eca-YOrnls-Ir Y{act-on-e lsting-Lz slncsses-ef a change-in--mateweIlisle traffic during the f-fve -t wi-andant year-pinnni izen, •--The-e no iG-impact-onexlsting--I isinesscs f-ea away constiGtion-r4iring cons a five year period. 4-- a eoarYOm4 p+3` as.0Y-aa#eii-try-the e4e11si0n o A e+xay to-S414fan, ari+ fae-sell 01-the-f all+ re-#e-eostel:id Apple ay-dwing-tire-five--tGn-and-twerit year la ing--p-e€l ik--BarneFs-ta-stiGGessful-FedevelciFnent-ig-I-Ige-C434FiflollIC.iwilnii-institutional-and-regulatori 14,94ier— -ogles to ir-akk"r'1Y4 YelapieA# ithi4-tk4e-Cerfid-a -insl lidi ng-t u rpat-iln=Yited-to-trattis otrc Watien-impfvve!aner4ts--a!ld-1$14 U6 9kgatisnF 1 Adopted April 25, 2006 (Update 04-2402012) Chapter 7- Economic Development Page 20 of 24 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan •--Megation--str tegies-to-G unieraet ver-se-Been le-i+xvae a ioi-Ie appiMu of speolflc#ypes of lbucisesc enterprise.

BACKGROUND: At the January 10, 2012 Regular Council Meeting, Mr. Hattenburg presented an overview of the Library Facilities Master Plan which was adopted by the Library Board of Trustees in 2010. The Library Plan was based on a Community Needs Assessment and is intended to guide short and long term library facility planning. The Plan also prioritizes improvements for the Library District. The Library Facilities Master Plan has identified the need to replace the existing Spokane Valley Library. The Spokane Library District (SCLD) has narrowed down the potential number of locations to four, with the top choice being 8+ acres currently listed for sale at Sprague and Herald. The property is owned by the Pring Corporation. The SCLD is unable to purchase the entire 8+ acres and they have proposed that the City of Spokane Valley and the SCLD discuss a joint purchase with the City utilizing a portion of the site for a City park. At the January 10 Council meeting, Council expressed interest in staff gathering information and starting a dialogue with SCLD about this potential joint purchase and coming back to Council to discuss. The City Manager has been meeting with SCLD staff and their representatives to discuss the general terms and conditions which would be required to complete the joint purchase of the property. Based on those meetings and what appears to be initial, mutual understanding of key terms and conditions, if/when Council decides to move forward with the acquisition, City and Library staff and their attorneys should be prepared to timely develop an Interlocal Agreement for consideration by the City Council and the Spokane County Library Board (barring any unforeseen circumstances). Staff and Council have placed this item on the agenda for the February 7, retreat. The City Council has approved in the 2012 Budget a revision of the Park and Recreation Master Plan. Additionally, there may be an opportunity for the City to leverage its funds to purchase the property through the Washington State Recreation and Conservation Office (WSROC) 2012 grant cycle. Staff will have some idea of this potential on January 31. The Park and Recreation Master Plan and the WSROC will also be topics of the February 7 retreat. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information Only BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City could utilize Fund #310 Civic Building Capital Projects Fund to purchase the property. This would require a budget amendment by City Council.

The UGA is the area designated to accommodate projected urban growth and development for twenty years and was first established in 2001. The purpose of the regional review is to determine the existing UGA's ability to accommodate growth and development for the next twenty years with the potential for expansion or contraction of the existing UGA. The attached memorandum outlines the remaining tasks for the UGA update process.

The UGA is intended to accommodate 20 years of projected population growth and includes cities, developed urban land outside of cities and areas planned for urban services. The UGA review will ensure that there is adequate capacity to meet the needs of new growth and development in the subsequent 20 year planning period. Based on population forecasts, the existing UGA boundary can accommodate the projected increase in population and the increased needs for commercial and industrial property. Any increase to the UGA boundary would likely require a reduction of other areas within the UGA or a revised population forecast. The process to review the UGA boundary includes ongoing public participation efforts, hearings before the Spokane County Planning Commission, the Spokane County Steering Committee of Elected Officials (SCEO) and the Spokane County Board of Commissioners. Ultimate authority to make adjustments to the growth boundary lies with the County Commissioners. On January 26, 2012, Spokane County Planning Commission is holding a public hearing to consider testimony related to the update of Spokane County's UGA. Following the public hearing, the Planning Commission will make a written recommendation concerning the proposal to the Board of County Commissioners. After receiving the Planning Commission's recommendation, the Board of County Commissioners may adopt the Planning Commission's recommendation or decide to hold its own public hearing on the proposal. Spokane County has completed an environmental analysis consisting of a Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) in accordance with WAC 197-11-210. The Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) will present a detailed report and recommendation to the SCEO in mid-February. The SCEO will review the PTAC report and ultimately make a recommendation to the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners.

By this time the County has remitted to the City the first-half taxes and most of the second-half. We anticipate we will receive the balance of the second-half from the County with their January 2012 remittances. • Total sales tax receipts (including general sales tax, criminal justice sales tax and public safety sales tax) through November 2011 are $15,436,005 and are running at 95.28% of the amount budgeted. If the rate of collection continues we should exceed our 2011 Budget estimate of$16.2 million. • Gambling tax receipts are expected to come in short of the budgeted estimate as a result of the closing of one of the casinos. The remaining casinos are paying their taxes in a timely manner. • Investment earnings will be less than projected in our 2011 budget as interest rates are down dramatically from prior years. The City will explore the option of investing in instruments backed by the federal and/or state government to increase our return. • As of December 31, 2011, the City had a total of $49.7 million in investments including $44.7 million held by the Local Government Investment Pool managed by the WA State Treasurer's Office and $5.0 million in Banner Bank CDs (page 7). • Total sales tax receipts (page 8) received by the City, including general sales taxes, criminal justice sales taxes and public safety sales taxes are $15.44 million or 4.60% greater than for the same 11-month period in 2010. You'll note that receipts for the months of May, June and July are up significantly over those of the previous year. The increase for this three- month period is likely due to a Department of Revenue tax amnesty program that was in place for the three-month period ending April 30, 2011, in which nearly 8,900 business (state-wide) paid $320.7 million in state and local back taxes. Of the total, $56.8 million is local tax that has been forwarded to counties and cities beginning with the May 2011 sales tax distribution and concluding with the July 2011 distribution. We currently have no way of knowing to what extent our May through July remittances have been influenced by the amnesty distribution as the State has provided no such information. Noteworthy is that remittances in each month of August through December have averaged $70,114 or 5.05% greater than those for the same five months last year. Because these receipts fall outside the aforementioned amnesty program this suggests the August through December 2011 increase in activity reflects an improved business/sales climate. One final comment regarding sales taxes is that the figure reported in October 2011 included an adjustment related to an overpayment of approximately 3.8% that was made by the Department of Revenue in our July 2011 receipt. The unusual activity by the Department of Revenue in 2011 including the 3-month amnesty program during the period May through July, the error in July, and the correction in November make a month to month comparison from 2010 to 2011 virtually impossible. By the same token, the activity in 2011 will make monthly comparisons in 2012 equally difficult. IISV-FS21Users\mcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201112011 12 preliminary.docx Page 2 Economic Indicators Pages 9 through 11 provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax revenue that provide a good indicator of the health and direction of the overall economy. 1. Sales taxes (page 9) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending on the purchase of goods. 2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 10) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area by tourists or business travelers. 3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 11) provide us with a sense of real estate sales. Page 9 provides a monthly history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or criminal justice) beginning with the first remittance received in May 2003. • Compared with the same 11-month period in 2010 our collections have increased by $646,202 or 4.99%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at $17.4 million and dropped off dramatically in the subsequent three years. • Receipts in 2011 are similar to those of 2005. Page 10 provides a monthly history of hotel/motel tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in May 2003. • Compared with the same 11-month period in 2010 our collections are nearly identical to those of last year with an increase thus far of$3,312 or 0.79%. • Collections peaked in 2007 and 2008 and dropped off in the subsequent three-years but not as significantly as sales taxes. Page 11 provides a monthly history of real estate excise tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in March 2003. • Compared with the same 12-month period in 2010 our collections have decreased by $11,193 or 1.15%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at nearly $2.6 million, decreased precipitously in 2008 and 2009, and appear to have leveled off in 2009 through 2011. Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstanding Page 12 provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the City currently has outstanding. • The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value and the preliminary 2011 assessed value for 2012 property taxes is $7,089,910,381. Following the City's December 1, 2011 bond payment, the City currently has $7,930,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which represents 7.46% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.49% of our total debt capacity for all types of bonds. • The $7,930,000 of bonds the City currently has outstanding is part of the 2003 nonvoted (LTGO) bond issue. Of this amount: o $6,260,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public Facilities District. o $1,670,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace. The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City.

The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 8.7%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.7%tax rate to the agencies is as follows: State of Washington 6.50% City of Spokane Valley 0.85% Spokane County 0.15% Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% * Crminial Justice 0.10% * Public Safety 0.10% • 2.20% local tax Juvenile Jail 0.10% Mental Health 0.10% * Law Enforcement Communicatior 0.10% * Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% " 8.70% Indicates voter approved sales taxes In addition to the .85%reported above that the City receives,we also receive a portion of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is computed as follows: Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the State distributes 10%of the receipts to Spokane County,with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County. Public Safety: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected,the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County,with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

anticipate to hold the Grand Opening in May 2012. • 'or _ I ' • As a part of the Greenacres Park construction t project, staff has been working on the pedestrian study �. �, ` in the Greenacres neighborhood related to the F - �: �: intersection of Mission Avenue and Long Road, which is 7 just north of the park site. • Staff has been working with a consultant to develop an identity and signage template for the City of Spokane Valley. Signage would be for welcoming the public at entrances to our city and all public facilities. A design has been chosen by City Council, and we are moving forward with the plans for the west gateway entry. • We have been busy with negotiating, renegotiating, and updating contracts and options that are either new or up for renewal at year end at both CenterPlace and the Police Precinct. • Staff worked on various projects for the Police Precinct, which included: o Solicited and obtained written quotes for winter grounds maintenance, which includes snow plowing and renewal. o Solicited and obtained written quotes for the outdoor lighting project, which involves attaching Tight fixtures to existing poles for illuminating the back fence area. o Contracted for a painting project, which involved painting the outdoor sign making it much more visible to the general public. • 1 In our attempt to notify and inform the general public of park rules, regulations, and safety issues, park signage has been updated and added to. E ' - 4 CENTERPLACE: • We have been updating audio visual technology in the Great Room. The LCD projector has been replaced with a 7000 lumens projector, which is much brighter and easier to see. The speakers and lapel microphones have also been upgraded. • Staff attended the Spokane Bridal Festival, which is a one-day event in October. Over 90 packets of information were handed out to potential brides. There seems to be a revival of people booking facilities for their wedding, after a slump in wedding reservations last year. • Staff assisted the Spokane Valley Rotary Club and Recreation Department in the planning and staffing of the Breakfast with Santa event. The event is growing, so we are ever- growing with room layouts, ticket sales, and coordination of volunteers. • Staff has been meeting with groups to promote having their monthly meetings in our facility.

Incident Response Team (SIRT) volunteers contributed 83 on-scene hours (including travel time) in December, responding to crime scenes, structure fires, motor vehicle accidents and providing traffic control. Of those hours, 13 hours were for incidents in the City of Spokane Valley. Total December volunteer hours contributed by SIRT, including training, stand-by, response and special events is 533; year-to-date total is 6,097 hours. We had a very light month in terms of responding to various scenes due, I suspect, in large part to the mild weather. We did not have any slide-offs nor house fires this month. Our many new trainees did not have much of a chance to participate in any call outs as a Page 2 result. However, since the 26th of Dec. we have had 2 call outs in Dec. including a fatal motor vehicle accident where three of our members plus 2 trainees spent approximately 8 hrs each on scene. There were 15 reports of juveniles who ran away from their residence in Spokane Valley during the month of December 2011 (five of those reports dealt with the same female); 12 of those reports were settled with the juvenile having returned home. Abandoned vehicles tagged by S.C.O.P.E. volunteers for impoundment in the Spokane Valley in November totaled 15 and in December 14 with 7 and 5 respectively, vehicles eventually cited and towed. No hulks were processed in November and 18 hulks processed in December. During the month of December,a total of 57 vehicles were processed. S.C.O.P.E.

The homeowner described the suspect vehicle as a blue Nissan Pathfinder with Nevada plates. The victim stated there was also what appeared to be another suspect helping the male from inside the Pathfinder and thought he heard children's voices as well. Det. Knight had worked an extensive battery theft case from the Spokane Valley and City of Spokane about a month earlier, arresting a male subject for the thefts and Trafficking Stolen Property. At the time of his arrest the male suspect and his girlfriend were driving a blue Nissan Pathfinder with Nevada license plates. He also felt the male suspect matched the physical description of the garage burglary and knew the girlfriend would likely be with the male suspect while committing the crimes just as she had been in the battery theft case. He was also aware the two had two children in their custody and were living out of the vehicle. Det. Knight found the pair's pawn history showed they had been pawning a large amount of property in the previous month, which appeared to be items commonly stolen from garages or yards. He and other detectives then began reviewing garage burglary and vehicle prowling reports from previous weeks to try and identify where the items pawned may have come from. Several other burglaries from the South Valley area were located and deemed likely to have been committed by this same male suspect. Det. Knight advised patrol officers he had probable cause for the arrest of the male and female suspects, should they be located. The following day,Deputy Tom Walker located the male suspect driving the Pathfinder and took him into custody. The female suspect was also located and arrested as well. Det. Knight interviewed both subjects who ultimately confessed to a multitude of thefts and burglaries, and to pawning the items they stole. As many as 10 individual crime reports were solved,with 6-7 of them being burglaries. Several thousands of dollars worth of stolen property was recovered and returned to its owners. Both suspects will ultimately each be charged with at least a dozen felony charges each,for their participation in these crimes. Amateur Caught Stealing Gas — An 18-year-old male suspect in early December tried his hand at siphoning gas from a Wheelchair Transport van around midnight. Deputies responded to a call of someone stealing gas and watched as the young male tried his best to get some gas in the gas can. After Page 4 settling for about 1-1/2 gallons of gas, the suspect got back in his car where officers met up with him. He made eye contact with the officer and put his head down in a manner that indicated he had just been caught doing something wrong. While being handcuffed, the suspect stated, "I know I'm an idiot. I've never been arrested before. I'm not very good at this. I got gas in my mouth, my eyes, all over my clothes, and all I got was a gallon." The male was booked into the Spokane County Jail 3rd Degree Theft. Vehicle prowler/ burglar arrested — In mid-December, Patrol officers and detectives in the Spokane Valley arrested a 28-year-old male for one count of Residential Burglary and one count of Theft of a Motor Vehicle. The male was arrested on a Friday morning at about 06:30 hrs by Patrol officers responding to the 1500 block of North Coach reference a resident who had found the male suspect prowling his vehicle parked at the residence. The resident detained the male suspect while waiting for deputies to arrive. Once on scene, officers discovered the male suspect had an outstanding felony warrant for his arrest,and was driving a red Jeep which had been reported stolen from the city of Spokane about a week earlier. They were also able to see the Jeep was loaded to the roof with what appeared to be items commonly stolen in burglaries and vehicle prowlings. The officers took the male suspect to the Spokane Valley Precinct and turned him over to Property Crimes detectives. Detectives were then able to determine the Jeep was, in fact, full of items stolen in many recent vehicle prowlings and garage burglaries. The male suspect confessed to committing as many as 30-40 vehicle prowlings a night, throughout the city and county of Spokane, for the last several weeks. The male suspect said he was high on methamphetamine and hadn't slept in three or four days. A video posted on his Facebook page December 7th shows what appears to be the suspect in a vehicle he describes as a Jeep. He focuses on a large amount of property in the back and passenger seat and said he hasn't "really figured out what I'm going to do yet." He did try to direct detectives to the locations where he had committed many of the crimes, but detectives were only able to find 14 victims to return items to. The male suspect was booked on the two felony charges, in addition to his warrant. He will face at least a dozen additional felony charges to include burglary and theft once the investigation is completed. Facebook Assists in Returning Stolen Property- As many as 80-100 items recovered from the above- mentioned Jeep had yet to be claimed or returned to their owners. Several of the victims contacted on that Friday had failed to report the crimes to police, hindering the return of their items. In an effort to get as much property back to their owners as possible, Spokane Valley Police posted photos of the property recovered on their Facebook page in hopes people would be able to identify it. Detectives also encouraged victims of vehicle prowlings in the last several weeks to report their crimes to Crime Check if they have not already done so. Property Crimes Sgt. John Nowels says it's the first time our department has used Facebook to identify owners of stolen property. Officers were drawn to the idea after the Coeur d'Alene and Moses Lake Police Departments had success doing the same thing a week prior. "We don't really even have to contact them. People hear about it through word of mouth, they see postings on Facebook, and we're getting a lot more traffic across that page," Sgt. Nowels said. Alisha Dowell was one of the few victims who did file a report. Losing a backpack full of textbooks the week before finals was difficult for her. "A big paper was due, and that had all my notes for that, and that's all gone, so I had to talk to my professors and get extensions," Dowell said. She didn't just lose the backpack; it was stolen out of her SUV and, she thought, gone forever. She's happy she'll get her backpack back, even if it's a little late to use what's inside of it. One comment received on SVPD's Facebook page said: "Our support and thanks go out to the men and women of our local departments who protect and serve us. It is often a thankless job with many that complain that the police don't do enough. With budgets being cut and departments being downsized, I still believe in our law enforcement people. We had several items stolen about a month ago - a set of 4x4 truck rims and tires and several containers of Christmas items and other misc stuff we had stored in our shop. Although we realize we may never recover these items, it is still a strong effort by SVPD to catch these people that prey on our city and the effort they make to return what items they can. The police can't be everywhere all the time but they make the best with what Page 5 current funding provides them. Thank you for being here SVPD. This posting is a great idea and I hope it will spread across the country." Grandfather's Stolen Car Recovered — Officers responded to a residential burglary call on the morning of a Wednesday in mid-December. The victim said,while they were sleeping in the early hours of the morning, someone had removed a back window to the residence, entered to steal a set of car keys and then kicked in the man door to the garage where they stole a Toyota Rav4. Nothing else in the residence was disturbed. Later in the day,a detective driving on I-90 made a traffic stop and advised the plate came back to a stolen vehicle. The same officer who had responded earlier to the residential burglary responded to the traffic stop and arrested the driver,who turned out to be the victim's grandson. The grandfather arrived on scene to retrieve his vehicle and wanted to pursue charges as this was the third time the grandson had stolen his grandfather's vehicle. Five enter guilty pleas in counterfeiting scheme - Five suspects accused of bleaching money and printing higher denominations onto the paper have pleaded guilty to federal counterfeiting charges. Jessica A. Crabtree,28,Melissa A. Smith,27, and Brittney R.Hearn,24,all of Spokane; Robin Knuttgen, 52, of Spokane Valley; and Brandy Mueller, of Pasco, all recently pleaded guilty as part of the scheme uncovered by the U.S. Secret Service and Spokane County Sheriff's Office. Investigators learned that about $5,000 worth of currency had been passed as part of the operation. A conviction for counterfeiting currency carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison and a $250,000 fine, Assistant U.S. Attorney Thomas Rice said in a news release. Fugitives Caught — Just before Christmas, Spokane Valley Police officers arrested a pair of fugitives sought by the FBI and other local law enforcement authorities in Grant County, Colorado. A 29-year-old male and 35-year-old female were booked into the Spokane County Jail on Fugitive From Justice charges about 10:30 p.m. Sheriffs dispatchers received information from the FBI in Colorado about 2:25 p.m. Friday that the pair had been in Portland, Oregon, but now were in the Spokane Valley area. The two used a stolen credit card at a convenience store at Fourth and Sullivan. SVPD officers went to the store, but did not fmd the suspects. At about 9:30 p.m., the suspects were electronically tracked to the area of the Red Top Motel on East Trent. Officers surrounded the motel and located the suspects' Ford vehicle parked nearby. A photograph of the female suspect was shown to the motel clerk and the clerk showed officers the same photo copied from the suspect's identification when she checked the pair in. A PA system on a patrol car was used and the two surrendered without incident. A pistol reportedly stolen by the pair was not located in the room. The male suspect indicated the two had sold it to someone while the female suspect stated they had thrown it in the river in Colorado. Both suspects face extradition back to Colorado. Stolen Vehicle Leads to Arrest—In late December, officers responded to a call of a male in a dark green GMC pickup truck who appeared to be passed out at the wheel and was in the middle of the street. As one officer approached the vehicle, it took off at a high rate of speed (80-90mph) and lost the officer. Another officer quickly located the vehicle a short distance away,but found the driver had abandoned the vehicle. A neighbor pointed out to officers across the street where there was a bunch of bushes in front of a residence where the 45-year-old suspect had gone to hide. Officers quickly located the resisting male who was laying face-down and refused to bring his hands behind his back. They eventually were able to handcuff the suspect and remove him from the bushes. Not far from where the suspect was lying,officers located a stun gun that was on and fully charged as well as the keys to the stolen vehicle. Upon further questioning, the male suspect admitted he knew he was driving a stolen vehicle. Also located inside the vehicle were various metal pry bars, picks, metal baseball bats, and bolt-cutters. The male suspect was taken to the Spokane County Jail and booked on Possession of Stolen Property. Shoplift/Robbery at the Valley Mall — Officers were called to the Sears store before Christmas regarding a robbery. The victim said he had been knocked down and his Seagate hard drive was stolen. He said he was hanging out at the mall and ran into an acquaintance. He said he was carrying his hard Page 6 drive, which he uses to obtain music and pictures from his friends, and the suspect was asking about it. The suspect asked the victim if he could talk to him outside,to which the victim agreed.He said after they walked outside,the suspect forcefully pushed him to the ground,grabbed the hard drive,and left the area. The victim was able to provide a name and description of the suspect to officers and the identity of the male was confirmed through the officer's mobile computer. The same officer later responded to a possible fight/party call and recognized a male at the party as the suspect from the prior robbery incident. When the male confirmed his name,the officer placed him in handcuffs and detained him for the robbery. Upon questioning, the suspect began to cry and asked if the victim was okay. He directed the officer to his backpack where the hard drive was recovered. He said he had stolen the hard drive with the thought of possibly selling it so he could have food. The male suspect was arrested for 21'd Degree Robbery and 3rd Degree Theft. Graffiti Artist Arrested —A 26-year-old male suspect was arrested in the 900 block of North Barker at the end of December,just before midnight. The suspect was observed tagging a traffic control box and ran from deputies who responded to the call. As he was running, officers observed as he refused to stop and ran from officers, while digging in his backpack and running. Not knowing what the suspect was trying to retrieve from his back pack, officers advised the suspect he would be tascd if he did not stop. The suspect continued running and the officer deployed his taser, which had an immediate effect and the suspect fell to the ground. He was placed under arrest at which time he apologized and said,"That's what taggers do." When asked if he heard the officer tell him to stop and that he was under arrest, the suspect responded, "Oh yeah I heard you and that's when I really ran." He further stated it was the culture and he had to try and get away. The suspect then informed the officer he was an "artist" not a"tagger" and said this was the first tagging he had done in awhile. Various spray paint cans as well as stencils were located both in the suspect's backpack and behind the traffic control box and were placed on property as evidence. The male suspect was taken to the Spokane County Jail where he was booked on 3rd Degree Malicious Mischief and Resisting Arrest. Spokane County Sheriff's Office Training Unit Summary — Deputy Oliphant submitted the 2011 Summary for the Training Unit located at U-City in the Spokane Valley, including comparisons from 2006 to the present. It appears the economy played a part in students not booking as many hotel rooms in 2011,perhaps attending more one-day classes, saving agencies from paying overnight costs. 2006 2007 2008 2009 2010 2011 Total Students Trained 118 1074 2516 2521 3096 3220 Total Hotel Rooms Booked* 84 1254 3252 2911 4084 3217 *Total number of hotel rooms booked(i.e. students attends a three day class,counts as three hotel rooms booked).Numbers were figured conservatively,assuming that the student leaves Spokane the day of the last class. However, some students may elect to stay another night and travel back the next day. There were a total of 112 classes held at the Training Center. Students attending were from local law enforcement, but also included students from all over the United States as well as foreign countries. The Training Center has hosted students last year as well as previous years from the countries of Canada, Australia, Israel, Micronesia, Guam, Japan, and most recently China. (The students from Hong Kong were so impressed with the training they received, they suggested the Sheriffs deputies in the Training Unit should come over to Hong Kong to share with their law enforcement counterparts.) ************* Page 7 MMENOMI IROMMINEM 1:11114,0 ARM s- —1_ •MIRME .INC-- TON waSi ff ^ .MUM Prpleox $an on 111; erlin IIesi3J 71 ,EI 1111Mil .111 Q'SMI Lacrosse ,r Q I1;32.;; nn tr.M�•�a•kA IILl1 � ..Y r Ram 071=111%telltrir079-"mfOMELS :p STV91 �i � li'r■■' Er 1 U dad iill7l r1r -- I. ma 17r I Park E 'm o° a Crest -rent 5 alto Granite II' p- . .-kd kiie" r iiirmig:in A.; _ 1 Man sfiel. m■■x■■1T�gii19'11111111129MitTIC eaoo Ewrim1—1 GYIL•'�-r IM1u■■1 ▪ 9th Mug.∎mr c,A rz t Ism I-■s= I-R1 is ■—rMIJ.:1 I-1 I1-161 —r•I-- V-L11I-- Im— ■-�.lGirA.— IPJEi15— •map= EnA i. . lirome ISJ 3 Wig+._ IF NM lei ■II■—I'--r .=WIa= ------ mmliommm – Cataldo 17MFA1 �'©� IN insdN Broad u MRIye mat -tt ninny be rty Lake Catald . i1 =ro�■11!i� ■■iY� aT i ireC� � `i■ �■tlmmlg � Er, Al 111.10 ligar..744;=gam 4Lbaalirdird..-- ■ . i■-■ , M. .. _ -- ■-�1r alp-.MINORlif .....F a 1 " �z� ■ i�1..... _ .„....._._ . 18th 25th ennie I0 ie Co mow r INSMIEMBIMIffil z–:(IME13111MilEA h 0 r..Atiroge,mpagitre___ColiR -1....mrriwitoc,,,IE-_„.1 „- ' Ocr.ragari.. =.&\war limilmaglrf TimE`15"..1 helild4PRida. ling EN vieranweiwo#00 v!

The year-to-date library materials circulation increase of 1.7% is substantial since it's the fourth year of growth. It's lower than the District as a whole because the total number also includes online activity,including e-book and audiobook downloads,which are on a steep upward trajectory. Spokane Valley Library's circulation of library materials shows a 2.3% increase,with program attendance up 4.8%,though its registered borrower total is virtually unchanged from 2010. As noted in previous reports,computer bookings are uniformly down throughout the District.

Teen Anime Club attendance was up from last year and the Game Fest program offered during the holiday break for most area schools Page 1 of 5 had 46 attendees,which almost quadrupled last December's attendance.Special adult programs included"Putting Your Garden to Bed;" "Getting Started with Genealogy;" "Margaret Bourke- White: Trailblazing Photojournalist,"a Humanities Washington program;and"Come Write In," in conjunction with National Novel Writing Month;in addition to monthly computer classes and book club meetings. The Friends held its fall book sale,taking in approximately$1,300,and held the last meeting for the year. The usual variety of Security Incident reports were filed,some of which involved law enforcement or EMT responses. Argonne Library A customer made a point to tell staff about how the library helped her start a new business: she checked out books on canning and small business startups and now sells gourmet pickles at craft fairs and through local pubs. She has a law degree,but took this on when she could not find a job. The art wall continued to feature work from West Valley schools. New countertops were installed and the customer holds shelves were replaced and expanded. The Friends book sale netted$1,300; the Friends group paid for some educational games for use during Play and Learn Storytime and purchased a small table for use during Storytime. Otis Orchards Library Storytime attendance was up slightly. A craft table provided kids with materials to make Christmas tree ornaments. The Friends of the Library held one of its occasional book sales—and treated staff to holiday breakfast.An elderly customer was grateful we could extend her Internet time for the day as she was taking an online course and it took longer than she expected. DISTRICT-WIDE LIBRARY SERVICES Customer use Total circulation(in-branch and online) in 2011 was 4.8% higher than 2010. In-branch checkouts (over the desk and self-check) were up 2% overall but online transactions drove the majority of the overall increase,with online renewals up 7% and digital downloads a whopping 94%.Self-service checkout activity (self-check,online renewals and digital downloads) comprised 52.8% of December circulation. Door count through December remains statistically unchanged from last year with 5,578 more people visiting,for a total of 1,378,980 for the year.Program attendance for the year showed a 12% increase,while the number of programs increased by only 7%.Software-station bookings for the year remain 7% below last year,with declines at all branches. Reference inquiries remained even with last year. Adult services Programming: District-wide,computer class attendance was generally up from the same quarter last year,as were the book discussion groups.Specific programs offered in Spokane Valley area libraries are noted under the branch information. Community:We visited an average of 43 adult facilities each month during the quarter. Youth services Programming: Anime clubs continue to be the big teen draw. After School Special themes were "Where the Wild Things Are," "Black as Night,and"Winter Wonderland," The 321 in-library Storytimes offered District-wide during the quarter had attendance of 8,620.

Page 2 of 5 BOARD OF TRUSTEES Board of Trustees action, September-December • With regard to the 2012 budget,held a public hearing on 2012 revenue sources;approved 2012 organizational memberships;adopted resolutions approving the preliminary and final 2012 budgets,authorizing a 2011 property tax levy increase for collection in 2012,and levying property taxes for collection in 2012. • Held special meetings for Executive Director applications review,candidate screening interviews and final interviews;selected Nancy Ledeboer. • Reaffirmed the Rules of Customer Conduct Policy. • Approved revisions to the Eligibility for Library Use and Children's Safety in Libraries Policies. • Approved termination of an interlocal agreement with Stevens County Rural Library District regarding non-resident use. • Approved Amendment 2 to the Washington Counties Insurance Pool interlocal agreement. • Adopted a resolution recognizing Friends of the Library support. • Approved the 2012 Balanced Scorecard. • Called special meetings for January 11 to interview applicants for the upcoming Board of Trustees'vacancy,and February 28 for a meeting with the new Executive Director. • Approved the 2012 Board of Trustees' meetings and locations schedule. • Re-elected Spokane Valley residents Tim Hattenburg as 2012 board chair and Mary Lloyd as vice chair. Executive Director selection Four special meetings were held in November and December to review Executive Director applications,conduct preliminary interviews using Skype and onsite interviews with two,and evaluate those interviewed. The two finalists attended a December 1 reception at CenterPlace,a staff forum on December 2,and were each given a tour of selected branches. At the December 20 regular meeting,Nancy Ledeboer,currently Executive Director of the Pima County (AZ) Library District,was appointed Executive Director to SCLD,effective March 1,2012. Trustee position vacancy By the December 31 application deadline,the Board of County Commissioners Office had received and forwarded six applications for the District trustee position that would open January 1 with the retirement of Jake Laete. All candidates will be interviewed and an appointment recommendation forwarded in January. DISTRICT ADMINISTRATION 2012 budget The final budget,approved December 20,is the highest in the District's history at$11,434,154, which includes a$200,000 transfer to the Capital Projects Fund. Revenue is estimated at $11,553,248,up only slightly from 2011. The final property tax estimate is down about$150,000 from the 2011 figure, due to a drop in total assessed valuation but actual property tax revenue will be down another$200,000 or so because of the transfer of West Plains' annexation area taxes to the cities of Spokane and Airway Heights. This year it will be entirely offset by an automatic Airway Heights' contract fee increase and first year Spokane mitigation payment. The Spokane County Assessor's Office and State Department of Revenue provided the earliest and most accurate information ever. Future budget planning Page 3 of 5 Based on moderate to perhaps optimistic assumptions for assessed valuations and property tax revenue in 2013 to 2015,the District's levy rate will remain at the maximum 50C level during the entire time and for at least a few years after that. Thus,there'll be no opportunity to consider a levy lid lift should there be a revenue shortfall. On the other hand,budget projections indicate revenue and expenses will be balanced through 2014,with a negligible shortfall in 2015. Spokane is Reading The two October 20 Spokane Is Reading author events featuring Mary Roach were quite successful judging from the attendance and audience response,with 192 at the afternoon Garland Theater presentation and 271 at the downtown session at the Bing Crosby Theater. Staff Day Another successful event was the annual Staff Development and Training Day held at The Lincoln Center on October 21. The library advocacy theme provided an opportunity to demonstrate some of our services and programs and talk about the whys and hows of advocating for SCLD. Board Chair Tim Hattenburg reviewed the executive director recruitment and hiring process,and remarks by trustees Jake Laete and Dan Davis on why they're library advocates were on target and appreciated by all. Stevens County Rural Library District agreement termination At its October meeting,the Stevens County Rural Library District Board of Trustees decided to request termination of the interlocal agreement with SCLD that pays for non-resident cards for their 99006 customers;at last count 279 of them living in 117 households. With its August levy lid lift failure,this service didn't make the cut for 2012 budget priorities.

There were 45 completed applications for the position,with five candidates selected for early January interviews.
