ACTION ITEMS: 1.Memorandum of Understanding with Spokane County Library District--Cary Driskell It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to execute the proposed Memorandum of Understanding Regarding Allocation of Traffic Study Costs Related to the Park Property Acquisition with the Spokane County Library District. City Attorney Driskell explained that the purpose of the memorandum of understanding is to stipulate to splitting the cost of the traffic analysis between Spokane Valley and the Library District, with a cap of $16,000, or $8,000 each as neither the City nor the District wants to commit to a project of this scope without having a reasonable idea of the costs. Mr. Driskell added that the interlocal attached to the Memorandum of Understanding is a draft and subject to change. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried 2.Letter of Intent to Purchase Property—Mike Jackson It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to prepare and execute a letter of intent to Pring Corporation regarding the potential purchase of Spokane County parcel numbers 45174.9053, 45174.9054, 45174.9055, and 45174.9056, and to expend public money not to exceed $30,000 for preliminary title work, Phase I Environmental Site assessment, a survey, a traffic study, and a fair market appraisal, and that these funds will be taken from Fund 310, the Civic Facilities Fund, which will be appropriated through a future budget amendment in 2012. City Manager Jackson went over the timeline and process of this potential property purchase, adding that the unknown is whether the library's ballot bond measure would pass; he said they note that ballot issue will likely appear on the 2015 ballot; and even if the measure fails, the area could be a highly successful park. Mr. Jackson stated that should this motion pass, a traffic study will be commenced with anticipation of completion within forty-five to sixty days, and said staff will come back to Council with those results; and further Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 1 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 explained that we will continue to work with the Library on the draft interlocal as their Board must also approve the document. Mr. Jackson said in the meantime, he will negotiate and work with the Pring Corporation on the terms and conditions of the purchase, and come back to council to get authorization to move forward and spend the funds to finance the project. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed. None. Motion carried. NON-ACTION ITEMS 3.HUB Sports Center Update—Phil Champlin HUB Sports Center Executive Director Phil Champlin extended thanks for Council's appropriating Lodging Funds for the HUB; he said they have two hotels which issue reports consistently over the last two years, and the HUB had 401 hotel room nights for last year's last quarter and this year's first quarter, which is an 8% increase in hotel rooms, and that they had 7.5% increase in attendance; he said they have started to run some of their own events such as indoor soccer, volleyball scrimmages, basketball tournaments and pickleball; as well as camps and clinics offered on days when students are out of school, such as Presidents' Day, and during spring break; and he said things are going well and they enjoy having a positive impact on youth and the community. 4. Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan(TIP)2013-2018—Steve Worley Senior Engineer Worley explained that this is an opportunity to discuss the upcoming six-year TIP;that in the past, staff prepared the plan based on what they felt was needed and on potential grant funding; he said this year with so much discussion about street projects and preservation, he thought it would be good to have a discussion with council to see if there are common goals, priorities or projects to include, consider, and otherwise discuss before this is put into a first draft. Mr. Worley explained that the list of projects included in the Six-Year Plan are projects that are unfunded; and said projects will be removed from the TIP which have been funded or will be completed this year; and he said this is just a starting point and he is open to suggestions and comments. Mayor Towey asked if project#7 and #21 reference the same $10 million FMSIB (freight mobility strategic investment board) grant funds and Mr. Worley indicated it is and said this project is split between design and right-of-way phase and the construction phase and said the$10 million would span both. Mr. Worley stated that in the past, preservation projects have been included in the plan, and because of past funding issues,we have taken that out of the year six TIP because there wasn't a source of funding for the preservation program; and said the six year TIP must be fiscally constrained,which means we look at what we typically receive in grant funds, whether state or federal, and based on that amount, that is the amount we work towards; so we limit this to what we can afford and the amount of grant funds received in the past. Councilmember Grafos asked about the list and whether it is prioritized. Mr. Worley explained that the list is not prioritized, but the items on the list are those items which have not been funded, that staff feels they are important but would need additional funding from somewhere to get these projects going, or we could substitute projects from the unfunded list to the funded list. Councilmember Grafos said in reference to the Appleway Extension, Evergreen to Tshirley and Appleway University to Evergreen, that that's a lot of money for those two projects; and said he thought we were not moving ahead on those projects but were discussing the trail project, and he asked about substituting some projects on Sprague Avenue in lieu of extending Appleway. Mr.Worley agreed and said we should remove those from the list and add the trail project on the six-year TIP. Councilmember Grafos further stated that because Sprague Avenue has an economic development element, he would like to see from University Road down to Thierman or Fancher, or at least examine those to see if they should be on this funded list as well. Mr. Worley said he believes what Mr. Grafos is referring to is the Pavement Preservation part of Sprague Avenue; and said that specific project would be under the pavement management program;that it is not in this year's program for that portion of Sprague but it will be in either next year or the year after, and said staff would need to examine where the funding would come from for those preservation projects; he said we could add some of those to the TIP and when a call for projects is issued from either the state or the Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 2 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 federal government, staff always looks to see if preservation projects qualify for those grants, and if so, staff tries to get as much funding as possible; and again stated that if a project is not specifically noted in the TIP, it can be added after the project gets funded. Mr. Worley said Sprague reconstruction is an example of that scenario; it was in the six-year TIP, we thought we were going to get funding under the federal process but we ended up getting funding under the state process; and said we can mix and move those types of preservation projects in and out as funds become available, or can treat the preservation project as a whole and include it in the six-year TIP and instead of picking each individual project out of the recommended plan, take the 2013, 2014, 2015 recommended projects and put the totals for each of those years into the six-year plan. Councilmember Grafos agreed with that idea. Councilmember Wicks asked if perhaps we should pick out some of the bigger projects and specify them individually; and Mr. Worley explained that staff would do that anyway if a grant opportunity becomes available. Councilmember Grafos stated that with approving more funding for the roads, it allows the opportunity to look at some of these projects and prioritize them within the pavement management program. Engineer Worley said that council did that just last week to provide funding for this year's projects; and said this six-year TIP starts next year. Councilmember Wick said council discussion prior to this has resulted in preferring preservation projects over reconstruction projects; and said if council were to try to prioritize this list, it would be difficult to try to fund preservation above reconstruction; and Mr. Worley agreed that is what staff has heard before and that the purpose of this discussion to get a feel from Council on priorities. Councilmember Hafner said he feels that has not changed as the roads that need immediate attention should be taken care of first; and Councilmember Wick said he preferred to break out the larger preservation projects instead of lumping them together in order to get a better idea of which projects on the list are preservation, Mr. Worley said another suggestion would be to perhaps add to this list, those projects that were in the pavement management program that were identified as full reconstructions as that is an area not discussed last week in terms of funding, and said grant opportunities may become available for full reconstruction of some of those which would allow us to catch up a little, and he gave Sprague as an example; he said we could look at those streets which have fallen below the preservation level, add them to the six year plan and look for funding to do the full reconstructions, and he asked if that would be something Council would agree with and several councilmembers appeared to agree. Mr. Worley said another option is to take the entire six-year plan and just focus on pavement preservation; but said he recommends there are a few projects in the six-year plan that address improvements; and said as an example,when a call for projects is issued, especially from SRTC(Spokane Regional Transportation Council) for federal funding, they will identify categories of projects in which to submit, such as preservation, or full reconstruction and then improvement projects, and they put some funding within each of those categories; so if we focus completely on preservation or reconstruction,then we could miss out on funding for improvement projects such as widening, curbs, sidewalks, and storm drainage; and he encouraged keeping a few of the improvement projects in the Plan. Councilmember Wick asked if perhaps we could align those categories in our six-year TIP and Mr. Worley agreed and said we could probably change the database to show those categories. Councilmember Woodard asked about specific projects and funds in relation to Sprague Avenue, and Mr. Worley said that portion of Sprague Avenue from University to Fancier is still on the preservation portion of the list and not reconstruct, and Councilmember Woodward said that becomes a huge priority to him as it entails an enormous amount of asphalt. Mr. Worley said there are certain grant opportunities that have an economic development criteria as part of the grant, and there are other grants that focus strictly on economic development, and he mentioned our successful CERB grant of a few years ago; that the Community, Economic and Revitalization Board put out a call for projects, the entire purpose of which was do projects that encourage economic development; and he said staff looks for all those opportunities Councilmember Grassel asked if we were able to coordinate any of the projects on this list with other programs and projects, such as the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Plan, or with utility companies such as Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 3 of 8 Approved by Council:05.48-2012 we have done recently with Vera Water as that might be a factor in prioritizing the projects. Mr. Worley explained that we coordinate with those groups and that our coordination comes after we have a project funded;but said if Council wants to do projects that are more bicycle/pedestrian friendly, staff could look to prioritize projects that are part of the bicycle/pedestrian program and see how those projects fit together and then include those in the six-year TIP, and said then if we do receive funding, we coordinate with as many of those groups as we can; and said for every project, notices are sent to the utility companies so they can have an opportunity to do their road work before we commence our project; and said the Vera project was a case where the utility company came to us first; as we normally don't know their work schedule; although there are the instances where the utility company will give us notice that they would be working on such a section of road at a given date. Councilmember Grassel said her point is, not necessarily making the Bicycle/Pedestrian Plan the priority, but if there were some projects that tied in with preservation, it enables us to leverage our money more as it becomes an economic development; and Mr. Worley said staff does that as bicycle/pedestrian facilities could be a scoring element or a criteria within a grant; and that staff looks at all the criteria in each grant and then determines what would fit that criteria and give the best fit for any one particular project. Councilmember Grassel asked how much we could tie in with beautification projects. Mr. Worley said TIE (Transportation Improvement Board) allows up to 3% of their funds to go toward landscaping; he said the street trees that were put in on Appleway east of Sullivan is an example of landscaping we did for that project; and said typically cities have to have a plan showing what the landscaping would be for any particular corridor; and said the reason we were able to get street trees on Appleway is because there was a plan at that time that showed trees on that portion of Appleway; and he said currently the City does not have a policy on whether to incorporate street trees, landscaping, lighting, etc. on any of our projects; and said we were fortunate on that project that it was in the development of the Sprague Appleway Revitalization Plan. Mr. Worley said without a plan, idea or policy, it is difficult for us to convince grant agencies that this is something we'd like to do. He said we don't do it a lot because we don't have a policy, and we haven't looked at that as to how to make our projects a little more beautiful, but perhaps that is something we should start looking at. Councilmember Grassel said she was looking at beautification also in conjunction with what the Ad Hoe Economic Development Committee might be working on for local beautification; and said if it all tied together, it would be beneficial. Councilmember Hafner asked Mr. Worley if he was suggesting we have a policy and Mr. Worley said it would help. Councilmember Hafner said this is the first time council has been aware of such an item and he asked Mayor Towey if he would start looking at a policy that would address that, Councilmember Woodard added that at the least, this is something for Council to discuss including what corridors to include and concurred that this is the first time he has heard that we don't have a policy. Mr. Worley explained that this is similar to the Bicycle/Pedestrian Master Policy,that once there is an adopted plan,that it is easy for us to use that plan as justification when we submit grants. Mayor Towey said he feels the Ad Hoc Committee will be making recommendations along this line; and he suggested we let them make those recommendations and at that time we can discuss policies and procedures we might want to have to complement those recommendations. Councilmember Grafos said that last week Mr. Jackson mentioned that we have been awarded funding for the stormwater project on Sprague Avenue, and Mr. Jackson said yes, that funding award has been confirmed. Councilmember Grafos asked Mr. Jackson at what point would staff bring that information back to Council to let Council know what the cost of the project is, how much we will receive in grants, and said if we get those funds on that project, perhaps we could continue down the street and do something else on that corridor which would help from en economic standpoint; that on the TIP, he said he wants to make sure that on some of those main corridors as we come out of this economic recession, that we make sure we're just not chasing grants and setting aside projects waiting for grants; he said council approved a considerable amount of money last week regarding the corridors, and said he would think Council would want staff to bring back something showing where we are on Sprague, from Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 4 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 University on and the condition of the roads, and tell us what we can do on those roads with the available funds. Mr. Worley asked if Councilmember Grafos was referring to the pavement management program and Councilmember Grafos concurred. To summarize, Mr. Worley said he is hearing that council wants to include a pavement management element in the TIP, and maybe pulling some of those projects out of the Pavement Management Program and identify them specifically in the six-year TIP; some of which could be reconstruction that currently are not funded; and some specific corridors that we might look at having some economic development aspect to them and pulling them out separately as well. Council agreed with Mr. Worley's summation. City Manager Jackson added that the TIP can always be changed, and suggested as well we let the recommendations come from the committee, or he asked, does Council want to let staff suggest a beautification element? Councilmember Grafos said he would like to see the recommendation from staff, and at the same time,the committee will discuss that; and said this is the first time he understood that we could get some grant funds if we have that element; and as Mr.Worley stated, we could have the committee look at it and after they make their recommendation on certain corridors, as we reconstruct those streets that we have an element for landscaping, or as Councilmember Grassel suggested, for street lighting. Mayor Towey agreed it would be beneficial to break this out into categories and let the Ad Hoc Committee make their recommendation and Council can then merge the recommendations form the Committee with the categorized projects. Mr. Worley said the TIP will identify projects that we would look to make transportation improvements within the city, and a separate idea is this policy or guideline as to how we want to make aesthetic improvements to the roadway; and said whatever policy gets developed, whether by the Ad Hoc Committee or otherwise, once that gets developed and approved, we can incorporate that into any project we want in the TIP, but we can still move forward with the TIP and have this policy development working on the side; and said that won't hold up the TIP process. Mayor Towey agreed we have to have policies and procedures in place that will enhance the TIP. 5, Safe Routes to School Projects Local Match—Steve Worley Senior Engineer Worley explained the history of the latest 2012 Call for Projects for the Safe Routes to School Program, and of this Council's discussion during the March 27, 2012 meeting concerning our City's ability to provide matching funds. Mr. Worley reminded everyone that a local match is not required, but preference would be given to projects that include a local match when ranking projects that otherwise score equally. After brief discussion, several councilmembers agreed with the 5% match for each project listed (Bowdish Road 8th to 12, Park Road from Sinto to Indiana, and Park Road from Marietta to Buckeye). City Manager Jackson said we have to keep in mind that it is money that could go to preservation or other projects,that the pool of funds is limited, that the 5% is the amount vested by him and our finance directors, but that Council is free to adjust that if that if desired. Mayor Towey agreed with the statement about limited funds and said he feels 5% is compatible. Councilmember Grassel said she would like to know the road condition of those three projects and that it would be helpful for all future projects to know the condition of roads as well. In response to comments concerning the pavement management program and these projects,Mr.Worley said these projects are strictly for sidewalks and not road preservation. There was apparent consensus to go with the 5% match, with mild objection from Councilmember Wick that he feels the projects have a good chance on their own without the match. 6.Animal Control—Morgan Koudelka Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka explained that Council had asked that certain questions be provided to Spokane County concerning various aspects of the County's Proposed Regional Animal Shelter; and he went over the questions and the answers from the Commissioners. Mr. Koudelka stated that this focus is on a regional model only and that Council can look at other options for future animal control needs as desired. After Mr. Koudelka explained the answers to the questions as noted in his PowerPoint presentation, City Manager Jackson said that the County Commissioners are looking for at least a nod from this Council on whether it would be viable for them to move forward and continue researching the regional option. Mr. Koudelka added that if Council wants to pursue this regional model, Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 5 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 he'll bring back more details of all the costs and proposal details, but tonight's focus is on whether to go with a regional model. There was discussion concerning treatment, care, and facility from the standpoint of SCRAPS and of SpokAnimal, and while a few councilmembers voiced their preference to get more information on SpokAnimal prior to making a decision, others spoke of a hesitancy to consider SpokAnimal due to a lack of facility space, and the idea was mentioned of putting out an RFP (Request for Proposal). Mr. Koudelka said gathering data from SpokAnimal could prove difficult as we would need to gather the data and look at their finances and the state of their facilities including any capital facilities plan, and said it wasn't too long ago they said they were getting out of the business, then they changed their mind. Councilmember Grassel said the concern is not hearing what Spokane City will do, and Mayor Towey said this Thursday's joint meeting with Spokane City will be an excellent venue to ask questions about how they feel about SpokAnimal and their service. City Manager Jackson said we will ask the City of Spokane for a copy of their contract and information, and Councilmember Grassel also voiced her opinion of having SpokAnimal speak for themselves as well. Mr. Koudelka said when he brings back further information, he will also look at present values, and include options for consideration on how to pay for this,whether annually or at the onset, or by another method. Mayor Towey called for a recess at 8:15 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at approximately 8:30 p.m. 7. Temporary Planning Commissioner John Hohman previously removed from agenda. 8. Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee—Mayor Towey,John Holman Concerning the application process for committee members, Mayor Towey reported that we received nineteen applications, and that it will be a difficult job to limit the membership. Community Development Director Hohman added his concurrence and said he feels this will be a very viable committee. Mayor Towey said if we proceed to make the appointments at the April 24 meeting, there isn't enough time to interview each applicant,therefore council will need to rely heavily on the applications;he mentioned that Couneilmembers Grassel and Wick have indicated they would like to be on this committee; asked if anyone else was interested, and said there were no applications received from a youth; and that the date for applying could be extended, or the committee make-up could be modified; and said he feels comfortable about giving a recommendation at the April 24 meeting. After further discussion, council determined that the makeup of the committee would include two councilmembers, three business representatives, three tourism representatives, and two citizens at large. Community Development Director Hohman said the advertised timeframe for this committee to complete their work is four months, and it is his hope that after a few initial meetings, they will have a draft scope of work, then reconvene and eventually come up with a report to council; and said he envisions the committee perhaps meeting at least every other week or once a week, but not as infrequent as monthly as the momentum would be lost. After council discussion concerning whether to continue to find a youth representative, it was determined that Councilmember Hafner would contact the high school principals to see if they might suggest a student from a leadership class, or to get input from leadership classes, or even of the idea of having the youth as a sub-committee, then having their sub-committee send a report to the main committee. Councilmember Hafner said he will contact the schools as soon as possible. 9. Solid Waste Review—Deputy Mayor Schimmels,Mike Jackson City Manager Jackson said that last November our interlocal was extended so it now runs through November 2014; that there was a series of meetings recently which were well attended and where there was discussion concerning doing a study of the existing system in order to provide information to city leaders; that a smaller committee was formed which is currently working to prepare a scope of work for a consultant to look at a broad span of options, including examining the idea if the cost to operate the current system could be reduced; or perhaps joint alternatives of long haul as well as issues concerning the waste-to-energy plant; and said the discussion included whether other materials such as wood chips could be burned to keep the plant running; and to look at options for the smaller customers; and he said Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 6 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 the committee prepared the scope of work and will review it in a few weeks; then bring it back again for further discussion. He said much rests on the City of Spokane if they will or can come back, and also of the mention of the need to examine the transfer stations, including the cost to acquire, or build or re- locate; and said the challenge will be to narrow the scope. Mr. Jackson said the objective is to have an RFP (Request for Proposal) issued to put out a bid to determine the actual costs; and said what cities are going to consider is what kind of premium would it be for all the cities to stay with what we have versus starting a new venture. Mr.Jackson said he is comfortable the committee will get the information needed, and when that happens, there will be another report to Council to see if anything was missed; and he said there has been a re-commitment to work toward a regional system instead of a fractionalized system. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said the waste management contract is well run; that he's a little leery of going through all the data; that he's determined to gather some people to try to get the City of Spokane to give us the cost of doing business; he said he has been on this board since 2003 and the board still doesn't know what it cost to do business at the waste-to-energy plant. There was some discussion about the tipping fee and Mr. Jackson said staff can pull that information together; that at the previous meeting at CenterPlace everyone was informed that the price would continue to go up, and we also know that long haul is the least expensive method. At approximately 9:00 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Sclthn eels, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the meeting thirty minutes. 10.Advance Agenda—Mayor Towey Councilmember Hafner asked about the negotiations with the STA (Spokane Transit Authority) and the County concerning the extension of Appleway, and Mr. Jackson said concerning the Old Milwaukee Trail, a meeting is scheduled for tomorrow and depending on that meeting's outcome, he might be prepared to come back to discuss this, and said in any event, he will bring this to council as soon as he can. 11. Information Only Items: The (a) Graffiti Policy and (b) Public Works Comparison Centennial Colorado were for information only and were not discussed or reported. 12. Council Check-in—Mayor Towey Councilmember Grafos said councilmembers received a letter from ProSign regarding the sign ordinance and suggested changes; he said the correction that Mr.Wineinger asks in the letter concerns the electronic message centers, and regarding the suggestion to add that"No Electronic Message Centers are allowed in office or non-commercial zones except on arterial streets," asked if that change could be made so the work on the ordinance could be completed upon the second reading. Community Development Director Hohman said he also received a copy of that letter and that correction can be made and included in the packet for council's consideration at the second reading, or it could be combined with the other changes to the monument signs and other sign issues for later consideration. Mr. Hohman said staff intends to follow-up on those remaining items relatively quickly. 13. City Manager Comments—Mike Jackson City Manager Jackson said he received and council should have as well, an end-of-session summary from our Consultant l3riahna Taylor about the key items addressed during the legislative session; he said the state operating budget was finalized and they will be re-directing some of our liquor excise taxes with a loss to us of about $477,000, half of which will occur in 2012 and the other half impacting the 2013 budget; and on a permanent basis, said the $10 million per year in liquor excise taxes will be diverted to the state; that in 2014 that represents an estimated loss to us of$166,000; with half of that split between 2014 and 2015; and from that time on, it would be a permanent reduction of approximately$166,000, and said this will definitely make a dent in the budget and will be a big consideration in future budgets; and said he hopes to be able to adjust to those figures this year. Mr. Jackson said the SEPA form bill passed Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 7 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012 which will help loosen the categorical exemption threshold and help speed up our processes for such things as code and comprehensive plan changes, and said Mr. Hohman estimates it will save us about six weeks on those processes. Mr. Jackson said a stakeholders group will be formed in connection with the Department of Ecology, to go through a series of rule-makings. Mr. Jackson said he asked Ms. Taylor to see what she can do to have a city representative on that committee. Further, Mr. Jackson said that previously Councilmember Grafos mentioned the stormwater project, and said we have confirmation that we have been fully funded in that project;that we had budgeted $630,000,and the grant,with credit to the Public Works Department, is $666,000; he said he realizes we want to complete the project as soon as possible; he said he asked Ms. Taylor to see if there is any chance this particular grant is retroactive, and will also look to see if there is any initial element of the project we could initiate now, and if we do, and said this will be discussed with council later, that we'll go into it knowing we may not be reimbursed for that portion; and he said he'll weigh how much time that will save, if any, and examine that fully. Mr. Jackson said the other project for the decant facility for the street sweepings at $735,000 has also been funded. Mr.Jackson said this is for the 2012-2013 fiscal year, and said he is hopeful we'll know in about sixty days of the process. There being no further business, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:10 p.m. ") "IF Thomas E.Towey,Mayotte A �S ' A ,,,,-„ -,, L. i Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk Council Study Session Minutes 04-17-12 Page 8 of 8 Approved by Council:05-08-2012
