CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: March 6, 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: Proposed ordinance — New Code section for utility franchisees (non- cable television) GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of SVMC 3.65 relating to cable television providers, which is similar. BACKGROUND: The City has entered into various franchises with utility providers for use of the City's rights-of-way since incorporation, mostly for fiber telecommunication providers. The City inherited a number of franchises from Spokane County that have subsequently expired, or will in the future. As the Council is aware, the City has 13 water districts operating in its jurisdictional limits, as well as five electrical entities (Modern, Vera, Inland Power, Bonneville Power Administration, and Avista), two sewer providers (Spokane County primarily, with Spokane providing service in a small area of Yardley), one natural gas provider (Avista) and one petroleum pipeline (Yellowstone). Not all of the entities listed may be compelled to enter franchises with the City due to state or federal law due to the nature of the utility entity, and the staff is working to determine if that is the case for any in our City. Staff has discussed with numerous entities that their franchises have expired, and that we will be contacting them shortly to discuss terms. This proposed ordinance would establish model language for what staff considers boilerplate or very standardized terms of the agreement. They would provide the basic framework for each franchise that would be common to most if not all utility franchises. Staff believes these basic terms should not be negotiable as they are within the police power of the City to protect the roadways. That being said, staff attempted to draft these provisions in a way that is not overbearing. Specific franchises would have additional terms relating to the type of utility at issue. Staff has sent copies of this draft to all known utility providers and requested that they review them and provide comments to staff. We will then review those comments and consider appropriate changes prior to bringing the draft forward for a first reading. OPTIONS: Discussion only. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: NA. Staff is taking input from the public and will report back to Council. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: NA STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney ATTACHMENTS: Proposed franchise code DRAFT CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY SPOKANE COUNTY,WASHINGTON ORDINANCE NO. 12-*** AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON, ADOPTING NEW CHAPTER OF SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE (SVMC) 3.66, PROVISIONS RELATING TO OPERATION OF FRANCHISES IN THE CITY,AND OTHER MATTERS RELATED THERETO. WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley currently has City Code provisions relating to the franchising and operation of a cable television business in the City;and WHEREAS, a comprehensive franchise code would establish minimum standards for persons or entities operating or desiring to operate electricity, water, sewer, natural gas, petroleum or petroleum distillates,and/or telecommunication facilities in the City's rights-of-way; and WHEREAS, RCW 35A.47.040 authorizes the City to grant, permit, and regulate "nonexclusive franchises for the use of public streets, bridges or other public ways, structures or places above or below the surface of the ground for railroads and other routes and facilities for public conveyances, for poles, conduits, tunnels, towers and structures, pipes and wires and appurtenances thereof for transmission and distribution of electrical energy, signals and other methods of communication, for gas, steam and liquid fuels, for water, sewer and other private and publicly owned and operated facilities for public service;" and WHEREAS, any providers of electricity, water, sewer, natural gas, petroleum or petroleum distillates, and/or telecommunication services or facilities in the public rights-of-way will be required to obtain a franchise when the City has legal authority to require such a franchise, which may be granted only by the City pursuant to RCW 35A.47.040; and WHEREAS, the City is authorized to and should establish standards for occupancy of the rights- of-way by utility facilities that are consistent with and recognize the City's jurisdiction and duties to protect the public health,welfare,and safety.

Any franchise for the construction, maintenance and operation of facilities using the public rights-of-way or other public places shall conform generally to the provisions of this chapter, except as may be otherwise set forth in the ordinance granting such franchise. The City may implement additional conditions as it deems appropriate for specific franchises to protect the health, safety,and welfare of its citizens. B. The provisions of this chapter may be incorporated by specific reference in any franchise agreement approved under this chapter. 3.66.040 Non exclusivity. The grant of authority for use of the City's rights-of-way under this chapter is not exclusive and does not establish priority for use over other franchise holders,permit holders and the City's own use of public property.

Franchises shall be issued and renewed in accordance with the pertinent provisions of the Municipal Code and the Revised Code of Washington for the type of franchise being issued. 3.66.060 Least interference.

Such preference shall continue in the event of the necessity of relocating or changing the grade of any such right-of-way. Disputes between the grantee and other parties over the use, pursuant to a franchise agreement, of the rights-of-way shall be submitted to the City for recommended resolution. No franchise under this chapter shall, in any way, prevent or prohibit the City from using any of its rights-of-way, or affect its jurisdiction over them or any part of them. The City hereby retains its full police power to make all changes, relocations, repairs, maintenance, establishments, improvements, dedications or vacation of same, including the dedication, establishment, maintenance,and improvement of all rights-of-way. 3.66.070 Construction standards.

All work done shall meet the standards of that industry and be completed using accepted methods and materials free of defects. Grantee is responsible for the supervision, condition, and quality of the work done, whether it is by itself or by contractors,assigns or agencies. If any work does not meet the above standards,the City shall have the right to require the grantee to repair or otherwise bring the work into compliance with the above standards. If the grantee fails to complete the work, then the City may affect such work, and the expense thereof shall be paid by grantee,including all costs and expenses incurred by the City. 3.66.080 Restoration. If in connection with the construction, operation, or maintenance of its facilities a grantee disturbs, alters, or damages any public or private property, the grantee agrees that it shall at its own cost and expense pay for any damage and replace and restore any such property to a Ordinance 12- Re Franchise Operations Page 4 of 9 DRAFT condition reasonably comparable to the condition existing immediately prior to the disturbance.

A. Relocation of Facilities at the Request of a Third Party: If any removal, replacement, modification or disconnection of the grantee's facilities in the public rights-or-way is required to accommodate the construction, operation or maintenance of the facilities or equipment of another franchise holder, grantee shall, after at least 30 days' advance written notice, take action to effect the necessary changes requested by the responsible entity, as long as the other franchise holder(s)pays for the grantee's time and material costs associated with the project and grantee is issued a permit for such work by the City. B. Relocation at Request of the City: 1. Upon at least 60 days' prior written notice to grantee, the City shall have the right to require grantee to relocate any part of the facilities in the rights-of-way when the safety, health or welfare of the public requires such change. The expense of relocation shall be paid by grantee. After receipt of notice, grantee shall complete relocation of its facilities (a) in the case of relocation needed to enable the City to complete a capital improvement project, at least five days before work on the project is scheduled to commence, or an agreed-upon date by both parties, or (b) in all other cases, on a date agreed upon by both parties. Should grantee fail to remove or relocate any such facilities by the date established hereunder, the Ordinance 12- Re Franchise Operations Page 5 of 9 DRAFT City may affect such removal or relocation, and the expense thereof shall be paid by grantee, including all costs and expenses incurred by the City due to grantee's delay. If the City requires grantee to relocate its facilities located within the rights-of-way,the City shall make a reasonable effort to provide grantee with an alternate location within the rights-of-way. If public funds are available to any person using such rights-of-way for the purpose of defraying the cost of any of the foregoing,the grantee may make application for such funds. 2. Nothing in a franchise shall prevent the City from constructing any public work or capital improvement. Further, the City shall have the right to require grantee to relocate, remove, replace, modify or disconnect grantee's facilities and equipment located in the rights-of-way or on any other property of the City in the event of an emergency or when necessary to protect or further the health, safety or welfare of the general public, and such work shall be performed at grantee's expense. Following notice by the City, grantee shall relocate, remove, replace, modify or disconnect any of its facilities or equipment within any right-of-way,or on any other property of the City. 3. If the grantee fails to complete the above work within the time prescribed by the City, given the nature and extent of the work, or if it is not done to the City's reasonable satisfaction, the City may cause such work to be done and bill the reasonable cost of the work to the grantee, including all reasonable costs and expenses incurred by the City due to grantee's delay or unsatisfactory workmanship. In such event,the grantee shall pay the City within 90 days of receipt of an itemized list of those costs. 33.66.140 Vacation. The City may vacate any City road,right-of-way or other City property which is subject to rights granted by a franchise under this chapter, but the grantee shall be provided notice of such vacation proceedings and the opportunity to secure future use rights as allowed under the Spokane Valley Municipal Code. 3.66.150 Abandonment of facilities within a public right-of-way. No facility constructed or owned by a franchisee (or any other entity owning and/or operating a facility in the rights-of-way of the City) may be abandoned without the express written consent of the City. The City has the discretion and authority to direct the franchisee (or any other entity owning and/or operating a facility in a right-of-way of the City) to remove a facility abandoned by said entity. The expense of the removal shall be borne solely by the franchisee. If the franchisee fails to remove the abandoned facilities within 60 days of being directed to remove the same, then the City may incur costs to remove the abandoned facilities, and is entitled to reimbursement from the franchisee/entity for the removal costs. 3.66.160 Maps,books,and records. A. Grantee shall provide to the City upon request a route map that depicts the general location of the system facilities placed in the rights-of way. The route map shall identify system facilities as aerial or underground,including the general spatial measurements,and is not required to depict the specific equipment,nor need not depict service lines to individual subscribers unless specifically requested by the City. The grantee shall also provide,if Ordinance 12- Re Franchise Operations Page 6 of 9 DRAFT requested,an electronic format of the aerial/underground facilities in relation to the right-of- way centerline reference to allow the City to add this information to the City's GIS program; and B. To the extent such requests are limited to specific facilities at a given location within the franchise area in connection with the construction of any City or other public project,grantee shall cooperate with the City,upon the City's reasonable request,to field-locate its facilities in order to facilitate design and planning of City improvement projects. C. Information submitted to the City may be subject to inspection and copying under the Washington Public Disclosure Act codified in Chapter 42.56 RCW. The City shall timely provide a grantee with a copy of any public disclosure request to inspect or copy documentation/information which the grantee has provided to the City and marked as proprietary and confidential prior to allowing any inspection and/or copying as well as provide the grantee with a time frame,consistent with RCW 42.56.520,to provide the City with its written basis for nondisclosure of the requested documentation/information. In the event the City disagrees with the grantee's basis for nondisclosure,the City agrees to withhold release of the requested documentation/information in dispute for a reasonable amount of time to allow grantee an opportunity to file a legal action under RCW 42.56.540. 3.66.170 City ordinances and regulations—conflicts with franchise agreements. This code supplements non-cable television franchises. This code and franchises are to be interpreted in such a way as to be consistent with each other when possible. hi the event of a conflict between this chapter and the terms of a franchise agreement, the terms of the franchise shall control subject to the limitation of the City's exercise of the police powers set forth below. A conflict between this chapter and a franchise occurs only when the code imposes a requirement that(a)the franchise expressly states is not applicable, or(b)would violate a material term of the franchise; or vice versa. A conflict does not occur merely because the code or franchise imposes a requirement that the other does not. Subject to federal and state preemption, the material terms and conditions contained in a franchise agreement may not be unilaterally altered by the City through subsequent amendments to any ordinance, regulation, resolution or other enactment of the City, except within the lawful exercise of the City's police power. A grantee's rights under a franchise are subject to the police powers of the City to adopt and enforce ordinances necessary to protect the health, safety and welfare of the public, and grantee shall comply with all applicable laws and ordinances enacted by the City pursuant to such power so long as the same do not unduly discriminate against grantee. 3.66.180 Indemnification. The grantee shall, at its sole expense, indemnify and hold harmless the City and its officers,agents, and employees, from any and all claims, actions, suits, liability, loss, costs, expenses, injuries, and damages of any nature whatsoever, by any reason of or arising out of any negligent, intentional, or otherwise culpable act or omission of the grantee, its officers, agents and/or employees, relating to or arising out of the construction, use, operation, ownership or maintenance of the facilities in the Ordinance 12- Re Franchise Operations Page 7 of 9 DRAFT City's rights-of-way. In the event that any suit based upon such claim, action, loss, injury, or damages is brought against the City,the grantee shall defend the same at its sole cost and expense; provided that the City reserves the right to participate in said suit if any principle of governmental or public law is involved; and if final judgment in said suit be rendered against the City (or its officers, agents, and employees), or jointly against the City and the grantee and their respective officers,agents,and employees,the grantee shall satisfy the same at its sole expense. The damages, loss, and injury for which indemnification is required includes, but is not limited to, claims made against the City by the franchisee's employees from which the franchisee would otherwise be immune (under RCW Title 51 or otherwise). Indemnified expenses shall include, but not be limited to, all out-of-pocket expenses, such as costs and attorney's fees, and shall also include the reasonable value of any services rendered by the office of the city attorney, or any outside consultants employed by the City. If the comparative fault of the City and grantee is a cause of such damage or injury,the liability, loss, cost, or expense shall be shared between the Parties in proportion to their relative degree of fault and the right of indemnity shall apply to such proportion, except the grantee shall completely indemnify the City for 100% of every injury, loss, or damage arising out of a claim that the City negligently granted, supervised, or authorized a franchise or act/omission of a franchisee (or agent, employee, or independent contractor thereof) that injured or damaged a claimant. If the grantee or claimant asserts the City is at fault for any injury, then the grantee must notify the City in writing, and the City shall have the right to participate in any action or claim. 3.66.190 Insurance. A. Upon the granting of a franchise agreement under this chapter and following simultaneously with the filing of the acceptance of a franchise agreement and at all times during the term of a franchise agreement,the grantee shall obtain,pay all premiums for,and deliver to the City written evidence of payment of premiums for and a certificate of insurance,naming the City as an additional insured,with a company licensed to do business in the State of Washington with a rating by A.M.Best and Co. of not less than"A"or equivalent,for the following: 1. A comprehensive commercial or general liability insurance policy or policies,issued by an insurance carrier licensed to do business in the State of Washington.

A comprehensive automobile liability insurance policy or policies,issued by an insurance carrier licensed to do business in the State of Washington. Said policy or policies shall pay on behalf of and defend the City,its officials,boards,commissions, agents or employees from any and all claims by any person whatsoever(including the costs,defense costs,attorneys' fees and interest arising therefrom)for bodily injury and property damage occasioned by any vehicle operation of the grantee,or alleged to have Ordinance 12- Re Franchise Operations Page 8 of 9 DRAFT been so caused or occurred,with a minimum liability of$1,000,000 per person and $5,000,000 in any one accident or occurrence. B. Not less than 30 days prior to its expiration,grantee shall deliver to City a substitute,renewal or replacement policy or bond conforming to the provisions of this chapter.

BACKGROUND: When the City adopted provisions for special events permits that allow charitable solicitation utilizing the roadway, there was only one known entity doing this, Muscular Dystrophy's Fill the Boot program. Recognizing that other groups may want to get such permits, the City put in requirements for obtaining at least one million dollars of insurance for each event, limiting to once per year per organization, requiring flagger training for any person entering the roadway, as well as other safety-based requirements. Since those provisions were adopted, the City has seen an increasing number of groups using the roadway for charitable solicitation. Staff wanted to take an opportunity to discuss this with the Council and determine if there was any course of action Council would like to pursue.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: March 6, 2012 City Manager Approval: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Potential Park Property— Sprague Ave. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council received a presentation from Tim Hattenburg, Chairman, Spokane County Library Board at the January 10, 2012 Council Meeting. The basic terms of joint development of the property were discussed at the Council Retreat on February 7, 2012. 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 4 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). 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. It is difficult to predict the availability of funding and our chances of success. WSROC does allow for retroactive applications for parkland acquisition if certain criteria are met. Staff would like to continue discussion with Council. These items are not necessarily in rank order. • Justification for purchase based on Park Master Plan and City Comprehensive Plan • Potential funding for purchase if the City wishes to pursue acquisition • Discuss potential design and use of the park • The general terms of a proposed Memorandum of Understanding between the City of Spokane Valley and the Spokane County Library District for potential joint use and development of the property. • Spokane Transit Authority owns property on the West side of Balfour Park • Next steps in process. o Staff can return additional information such as conceptual site plans. o Clear up property ownership for existing Balfour Park. o If requested by Council, staff will return with a motion to authorize City Manager to sign a letter of intent to pursue purchase. • At that time Staff would begin other work including Appraisal, Title Report, Phase I Environmental Assessment, Survey, and Negotiate with Owner. o Staff would also work to finalize Memorandum of Understanding with Spokane County Library District for formal Council and Library District approval. o Other OPTIONS: Discussion only at this time. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information Only BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City could utilize Fund #310 Civic Building Capital Projects Fund to purchase the property. There will be approximately $3,442,000 in this fund following completion of the STEP program in 2012. Use of these funds would require a budget amendment by City Council.

Planned Improvements: Water playground area, new park signage Comments: Park lies adjacent to Fire Station.

Spokane Valley prepared a land capacity analysis of the city and surrounding UGAs based on the above regional methodology. The original analysis included the Alcott Joint Planning Area, which has been deleted from the information below. The results of this analysis were presented to the SCEO on June 24 and July 29, 2004 requesting a population allocation for planning purposes. Spokane Valley proposed a population allocation of 20,666 to the SCEO based on the regional land capacity methodology. This request was proposed as an "interim" request based on the land/population capacity within the existing corporate boundaries of Spokane Valley. The reason for this request was based on the significant issues related to waste water treatment capacity. Once the waste water issues have been resolved, Spokane Valley will prepare a revision to the population allocation and present this information to the SCEO. The Spokane County Board of County Commissioners approved this population allocation in November 2004. In 2006 the BoCC approved via Resolution 06-0438 a population allocation of 33,125 for Spokane Valley for planning purposes. The following table summarizes estimated population growth and the impact on parks and recreation facilities. Table 9.3 Future Park&Recreation Demand 2006 Population Total Population Existing Level of Service Additional Acreage Needed al Population Allocation Year 2025 (163,45 acre/85) Current LOS) 87,000 33,125 120,125 1.92 acres/1,000 58.89 acres As indicated in Section 9.3.1 above, the city currently has 171.75 acres of parks. To maintain the existing LOS, the city would need to add approximately 58.89 acres of parks by the year 2025. 9.4 The Arts Arts and culture are essential for continuing the growth and development of Spokane Valley's citizens, economy and quality of life. Spokane Valley should strive to become more than a marketplace. It should become a dynamic place where both citizens and visitors can experience a quality environment that includes the Arts. Neighborhoods and business districts should enhance their vibrancy and distinctive sense of place. These areas should offer a wide variety of cultural choices and opportunities for social interaction and self-expression. Public art is the manifestation of a community's self-identity and a reflection of the value citizens' place on their environment. Public art such as sculptures, murals, reliefs, and art objects can transform the character of a place from the ordinary to the special. Public art may embellish a site, evoke emotion, create a memorable place, acknowledge community history, define community identity, or be abstract and symbolic. Large or small art pieces can stimulate the imagination and encourage people to explore them. Public art should be incorporated into the fabric of our infrastructure, its presence clear in public spaces and neighborhoods. Public art is a city's legacy i I Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 7-31-2008) Chapter 9--Parks, Recreation and the Arts Page 8 of 10 RCW 36.34.340: May acquire property for park, recreational, viewpoint, greenbelt, conse...

Site requirements a Building footprint possibly up to 30,000 sf O Drive-through materials pick-up and return requires vehicular access along one side of building a Vehicular access required for rear service entrance C 124 space parking specification reflects City of Spokane Valley code minimum requirements for a public library, 200 seat auditorium with fixed seating, and 100 seat meeting room Based on recent site study, if integrated into a park design with above parking approximately 2.9 acres would be required, less if the auditorium wasn't in the final plans. Require frontage on or clear visibility from Sprague Avenue but not from behind a parking lot At least one side of library building adjacent and open to landscaped park area Targeting District-wide capital facilities bond proposal for 2015 (depending on economic situation and competing measures) with design work completed within a year and one additional year for construction and occupancy in 2017 General Terms of Memorandum of Understanding Property purchase agreement District willing for the City to take the lead on the purchase of the entire 8+ acres, consisting of four (4) tax parcels and hold title to the properties on the condition that a separate property purchase agreement between the City and District be executed concurrently, giving SCLD future ownership rights to an as-yet unspecified parcel Property purchase agreement with City of Spokane Valley Guaranteed ownership rights for at least 2.5 acres ( 110,900 square feet) at the same per square foot cost paid by the City of Spokane Valley .r Cash payment by SCLD to City for that amount of property concurrent with closing o If demonstrated that additional property is needed by SCLD during final site design after funding obtained, City agrees to sell up to one additional acre to SCLD at the original per square foot purchase price City will use property line adjustment to segregate SCLD parcel and provide Quit Claim Deed when final site design is determined Completion of preliminary joint site development plan within one year of closing, with agreement specifying site planning process requirements, responsibilities, and cost allocation (e.g. shared parking, stormwater retention, tentative library location, access) Items of Note In order to construct library and improvements, the Library District will need to secure voter approval of a District-wide bond of approximately $51 million of which approximately $ 15.6 million will be dedicated to the Spokane Valley project. D The biggest unknown is whether or not the bond will pass. ❑ If City moves forward, it should be on the basis that the project will be successful if the entire site is utilized as a park. The site would not be developed until 2017 (or possibly later if library were granted an extension). In the interim, the site could be utilized by the City for temporary use to be determined.

Trent Avenue The Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) allows animal shelters only in the Heavy and Light Industrial zones. The subject property is located in the Corridor Mixed Use (CMU) zone, directly adjacent to property zoned Heavy Industrial to west. Land directly north of the subject property is zoned R-2, a single-family residential zone (see attached zoning map). Animal shelters are limited to the Industrial zones because they are not compatible with residential or commercial zones, mainly due to potential noise and odor impacts. Two options are available that would allow an animal shelter at 6815 E. Trent Avenue. Option I. —Comprehensive Plan Amendment w/Zone Change The first option is to propose a site-specific Comprehensive Plan Amendment, changing the land use designation and zoning from Corridor Mixed Use to Heavy Industrial. The deadline to apply for Comprehensive Plan Amendments is November 1st of each year. The earliest possible date to complete a Comprehensive Plan Amendment would be late spring of 2013. Option 2—Zoning Code Amendment Option 2 is to amend the SVMC to allow animal shelters in the CMU zone. This process can be initiated at any time and will take 4-6 months to complete. Animal shelters could either be proposed as an outright permitted use in the CMU zone or permitted with a conditional use permit. The main concern about allowing animal shelters in the CMU zone is compatibility with other land uses. Corridor Mixed Use areas allow commercial, light manufacturing and residential uses and are often located adjacent to residentially zoned areas. However,there may be property zoned CMU that would be a good location for an animal shelter. At this time, staff recommends a code amendment to allow animal shelters in the CMU zone with a Conditional Use Permit. Conditional Use Permits A conditional use permit process allows the City to consider special uses which may be essential or desirable in a certain zone, but which should not be allowed as a matter of right within a zoning district. The process requires a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner and with public hearing notice to property owners within vicinity of the subject property. If approved, specials conditions may be established to lessen impacts to the surrounding properties. The conditional use permit process will take 3-4 months following the approval of the zoning code amendment that would allow animal shelters in the CMU zone as a conditional use. The total length of time from the initial zoning code amendment to the approval of a conditional use permit could take 7-10 months. ff,, r t 6815 E.

This decision is expected to expand its existing service center with more than 150 new jobs in Spokane. Currently, Providence Health &Services has Revenue Cycle Management offices in Renton, Washington; Portland, Oregon; and Spokane. The Spokane office currently employs about 100 individuals and will be looking to lease new space to accommodate the additional 150+staff members. Providence will begin expanding its service center in the next few months and will transition services over the next one to two years. Revenue Cycle operations are responsible for insurance billing and collection, medical record management, patient scheduling and referrals, and oversight of the charity care program. "Selecting Spokane as a business hub for a five-state system of health care providers is a huge investment by Providence, and will provide a great economic benefit to our community,"says Michael Wilson, chief executive of Providence Health Care Eastern Washington. Providence—the largest health care system in Washington—is currently implementing a new health information system called Epic, which will offer a powerful patient-centered electronic health record. For Epic to function properly, it's important that administrative responsibilities throughout the system be standardized. "The consolidation of Revenue Cycle Management functions is part of an effort to simplify processes for patients and to reduce the overall cost of care," Wilson adds. Rich Hadley, president and CEO of Greater Spokane Incorporated, says he's pleased Spokane was selected. "Providence carefully evaluated location options across its five states—from California to Alaska—using a set of criteria. We're proud that Providence leaders see Spokane as a highly-qualified workplace for the hub of these administrative operations." While Providence headquarters are in Renton, it selected Spokane because of the Providence ministries located in Eastern Washington; accessibility to the customer base; availability of the labor, technology and community resources; convenient transportation; and lower costs for labor and facilities. In addition,the proximity to five universities in the greater Spokane area and a highly qualified workforce contributed to the Spokane decision. The Spokane hub of Providence's Revenue Cycle Management will focus on billing and follow up with commercial providers(e.g., Premera, Group Health, Regence, United Health) as well as business functions including cash posting and patient correspondence. As the transition occurs over the next year,available jobs will be listed at providence.org/careers. ### About Providence Health Care In Eastern Washington, the Providence Health Care regional network consists of 11 integrated health care organizations working together to provide quality health and human services for Inland Northwest residents.It includes Providence Sacred Heart Medical Center& Children's Hospital and Providence Holy Family Hospital-both nationally recognized for quality care, as well as two critical access hospitals in Colville and Chewelah;and a full continuum of services including home health,assisted living,adult day health,skilled nursing care, Providence Medical Group made up of more than 170 physicians,and PAML medical laboratories.

Putting Things in Perspective Overall,the numbers are better than a year ago, but the pace of the recovery has caused concern and questions. Here's some perspective from our economic experts. "People need to remember that slow growth is still positive," says Steve Scranton, Chief Investment Officer for Washington Trust Bank. Randy Barcus, Chief Economist for Avista Corp., believes that even though we are not currently in a recession, "it feels like one to a lot of individuals and businesses in our region," 'There's a tendency to compare our current situation to peaks from a growth cycle that was unsustainable, so I am not sure it's a fair comparison."says Doug Tweedy, Regional Economist, Washington State Labor Market&Economic Analysis. Grant Forsyth, professor of economics at Eastern Washington University, says, "all recent data shows consumers are very pessimistic about the economy and we have no way of knowing how that will affect holiday shopping." Retail Sales Up Modestly Going into Christmas Season Retail trade for the 3rd quarter was up 2.4% over the same Forsyth states that much of the retail activity has been going period last year. on outside the city of Spokane. "The 2.4% increase is still low and needs to be much stronger than that to solve the funding "I was pleasantly surprised that retail sales are up as much problems of city and county government," as they are. Its almost like defying gravity since employment numbers are down," says Barcus, "However, I don't think Total taxable sales for Spokane County were up nearly 5% this is showing improved consumer confidence, it's more for 3rd quarter this year over last year. about having to replace items that people have put off buying for a couple of years. It's also a bit of a bounce-back "Much of the increase in total taxable sales is coming to more normal times from last year when people were from purchases for large construction projects, such as extremely nervous about spending." the remodel of Patterson Hall at EWU," says Forsyth. "My concern is that when these large public projects come to an "Retailers are coming into the Christmas shopping season end, what's going to replace them?" with pretty lean inventories after many of them came into last year with too much inventory," states Barcus. "I am _ anticipating less discounting with lower sates for this holiday potcane County eR Fted Taxable Sales. season compared to 2010."

"The slightly lower unemployment rate masks what is really going on,"says Scranton. "The number of people employed has dropped by about 4,700 from this quarter last year.The job situation hasn't really changed for most people, and most businesses remain neutral or cautious in their outlook, making them reluctant to hire. I think unemployment is going to be a source of great frustration for the next several quarters." "We have a labor market here that just can't get any traction," says Forsyth. "We have about the same number of people employed now as we did 22 months ago. That's not a good trend." The total workforce in Spokane County for 3rd quarter 2011 was down 2.4%from 3rd quarter 2010, while the number of those employed was down 2.2%for the same period, "There's been very little change in the unemployment rate," says Tweedy. "It's come down slightly because there are less people in the local labor force. We saw an in-migration during the down-cycle of the recession when people from North Idaho and Eastern Washington moved to Spokane because of the large job base. Those that did not find jobs are starting to leave. That is decreasing the number of people looking for work here." Barcus characterized the employment situation as "really bad news."The combination of a sluggish private sector and gov- ernment layoffs has him worried. "I think this pattern will continue next year," he said. Forsyth says, "The unemployment rate has been increasing on a month-to-month basis since spring, if it's seasonally adjust- ed, This is signaling that we have a very weak labor market again. Private sector service jobs have declined slightly and that's 70%of private employment in Spokane." There are still bright spots in the local economy, says Tweedy. Three sectors, advanced manufacturing, health care, and pro- fessional, scientific&technical, created 2,000 jobs in Spokane in the last quarter. Tweedy also points out that initial unemployment claims are down 18% from one year ago. These are people applying for unemployment insurance for the first time and this is a good leading indicator. "While a few sectors are up, other industries are paring back," says Barcus. Scranton agrees, referring to the employment numbers as a "mixed bag." "We have not felt the full force of federal cuts,"says Forsyth. "Government downsizing at the local, state and federal level in Spokane will be a continuing drag on the economy." According to Tweedy, Spokane County has about 35,000 government jobs. Year-to-date, 800 have been lost. More will be eliminated in the next three quarters. pipSpokane Conn K uttl l?y_ .pr Fole Unemplp roigatil_sfics Quarter Spokane County Civilian Labor Force Spokane County Washington State United States Total Employed Unemployed Unemployment Rate Unemployment Rate Unemployment Rate 2009 Q3 234,370 213,177 21,193 9.0% 9.3% 9.6% 2010 Q3 232,337 211,583 20,753 8.9% 9.1% 9.5% 2011 Q3 226,867 206,910 19,957 8.8% 8.8% 9.1% Source.Washington State Employment Security Department;U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Airport Cargo Numbers Soar Total cargo going through Spokane International Airport was In the last issue of the Business Barometer, we reported that up nearly 30%for 3rd quarter 2011 compared to 2010.

"Although the news looks encouraging because dollar volumes were higher," says Scranton, "the yellow flag for me, signaling caution, is that when you dig below the numbers we are not establishing any momentum. In talking with builders, there is not much private permit activity flowing into the pipeline and that clearly is a worry as we go forward. The future looks gray as we head into the new year."

U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics Closing Observations Barcus:The recovery is going to take a while because there are a lot of issues to work through. It will be another 12 to 18 months before it picks up, but it will be sharper and faster in its growth than most people anticipate.We could see some fairly rapid increases in many of these indicators. Scranton: Overall, there is encouraging data with areas of definite concern. Spokane's situation is similar to the national economy; still suffering through subpar economic growth with yellow flags out there about what could potentially be going on in the future. Forsyth: Current GDP forecasts for the region in 2012 indicate it will look a lot like 2011.This could change if policy makers in the U.S. and Europe become much more transparent about what they are going to do about the debt crisis.
