WHEREAS, It is estimated that thirteen percent of Spokane County citizens are 65 years of
age or older; and
WHEREAS, It is estimated that one out of three adults age 65 years old and older will fall
each year; and that one out of two adults aged 80 and older will fall each year;
and
WHEREAS, Falls are the leading cause of doctor visits, hospital admissions, emergency
room visits and injury deaths among people over the age of 65, and falls
account for ninety percent of all hip fractures among older adults; and
WHEREAS, Falling and the fear of falling can lead to depression and hopelessness, loss of
mobility, and loss of functional independence, and injuries from falls are largely
a preventable community health problem; and
WHEREAS, The causes of falls vary with contributing factors including lack of strength in
the lower extremities, the use of four or more medications, reduced vision,
chronic health problems, and unsafe home conditions.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Thomas Towey, Mayor of the City of Spokane T�alley, on behalf of the
Spokane T�alley City Council and the City of Spokane T�alley citizens, do hereby proclaim
September 21, 2012, as

(Swale Upgrade) Project, Thierman Road to Park Road to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder,
Inland Asphalt Co., in the amount of $1,272,772.00. Senior Engineer Worley explained that last
November Council approved staff's submission of a Washington State Department of Ecology grant

bid opening, three bids were submitted, with Inland Asphalt Company as the apparent lowest responsible
bidder. Mr.Worley added that the bids are a little late in getting out and the hope is to get the project done
this year, but depending on weather, that might not occur. Mayor Towey invited public comment no
comments were offered. T�ote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried.
NON-ACTION ITEMS:
2. Zonin�Use Matrix—Christina Janssen
Assistant Planner Janssen explained that on February 7, 2012, staff presented Council an overview of the
Corridor Mixed Use and Garden Office zones, as Council had requested staff to conduct a review of the
Permitted and Accessory Use Matrix to propose additional uses which would be appropriate in those
zones. Ms. Janssen said that as a result of that review, staff identi�ed several appropriate updates which
were presented to the Planning Commission at a study session and which were the topic of a public
hearing before them in July. Ms. Janssen also noted that in addition to the staff proposed changes, the
Planning Commission voted to allow crematoriums in the Corridor Mixed Use zones, and formalized the
staff recommendation to allow indoor entertainment facilities as a Conditional Use in the Heavy Industrial

zone. Ms. Janssen said tonight's review will include other recommended changes of a general
housekeeping nature, as well as miscellaneous updates not specific to corridor mixed use or garden office
that staff felt should also be addressed. Planner Janssen went through the proposed changes on the
accompanying use matrix and explained that one of the changes was to take all twenty-nine
manufacturing uses and consolidate them into a general heading of manufacturing.
After Ms. Janssen's presentation, Councilmember Grafos had the following proposed changes:
Page 11: Building Supply & Home Improvement to allow that in the Community Commercial Zone, and
he gave examples of Ace Hardware and Ziggy's.
Page 12: Convalescent home, nursing home: to allow that in the Corridor Mixed Use.
Page 13: Dwelling, caretakers residence: to allow in the Corridor Mixed Use and Community
Commercial; and he noted that SVMC 19.60.060 states that a caretaker dwelling unit is limited to
custodial, maintenance, management or security of a commercial property. Planning Manager Kuhta said
under the corridor mixed use, that would fall under a single family which is already permitted,but said he
would look at adding that in the other two zones.
Page 14: golf driving range, training center, permitted in mixed use center; he said it would be more
appropriate if it were also allowed in the corridor mixed and community commercial zones.
Page 16: under medical, dental and hospital equipment supply and sales; that it is not permitted in
community commercial but said there are existing businesses with those uses.
Page 17: recreational vehicle sales and service; to add that use to community commercial.
Planning Manager Kuhta recommended that staff research these proposals as some areas should definitely
be modified, but said he would like to do an analysis to make sure everything would be consistent with
the Comprehensive Plan. Councilmember Grassel asked about parks and open spaces, and of the idea of
adding such things as small restaurants or bike rental shops, and Mr. Kuhta agreed those uses are not
uncommon, and said staff will research that as well, and said perhaps some definitions might be added.
Councilmember Wick asked about the City Center category; said he feels this is a very valuable concept,
and although we currently don't have a city center, he would like to keep the category and be able to
implement such when ready, that he likes the idea of looking into the future, adding that the Economic
Development Committee is also examining such ideas. Councilmember Woodard said he wouldn't mind
keeping the header,but prefers to take out the other matrix information until such time as it is needed. Mr.
Kuhta said staff can remove all the uses and keep the heading, or just add an asterisk with a note or
explanation that items could be added later. Councilmember Wick again said that he does not want the
concept lost, with Mayor Towey adding that ha�ing it in the matrix will be a visual reminder. Mayor
Towey asked if there were any objections from Council to move this forward for a first reading. No
objections were raised.
3. Animal Shelters, S�okane Vallev Munici�al Code 19120 Pro�osed Amendment—Karen Kendall
Assistant Planner Kendall explained that John Pederson, on behalf of the Spokane County Building and
Planning Department, submitted an application to modify our City's municipal code to either outright
allow animal shelters in the Corridor Mixed Use Zone, or as a permitted use subj ect to the following
special conditions: that the shelter is owned and operated by a public entity, no outside dog runs,
soundproof structure to meet requirements of the Washington Administrative Code, and to Comply with
parking, landscaping and signage requirements. Ms. Kendall stated that as a result of the Planning
Commission study session and subsequent public hearing, staff also recommended adding that human
supervision must occur in any outdoor area, and that the facility must be located along an arteriaL Ms.
Kendall then showed the potential areas on her accompanying map of the city. Mayor Towey asked why
a shelter would be limited to a public entity. City Attorney Driskell also expressed concern with that
condition and said if challenged under the equal protection clause of treating everyone equally, it would
be a struggle to defend and he advised removing that condition. After brief discussion concerning the
Council Study Session Minutes 08-21-12 Page 2 of 7
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
requirements of a conditional use permit, there were no obj ections from Council in moving this forward
for a first reading with the omission of the condition that the shelter be owned and operated by a public
entity.
4. Multi-Family Zone Requirements Review—Scott Kuhta
Planning Manager Kuhta explained that Council requested staff to research potential code revisions to
assist the Planning Commission and Council with new multifamily developments adjacent to residential
use or zoning; and said if we make some changes now, then when we have future proposals similar to the
past recent proposal by Arger Developers, we might not have to consider development agreements to
allow for such things as high density adjacent to single family areas. Per his PowerPoint presentation, Mr.
Kuhta explained the current residential standards as contained in the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
(SVMC) 19.40.020, the buffers required by type as noted in SVMC 22.70-2, and the screening and
buffering as noted in SVMC 22.70.030. Mr. Kuhta ga�e some examples of potential SVMC changes,
such as ha�ing a relational height limit to single family residential use of zone as a 1:1 height to setback
ratio to abutting single family use or aone, and a ten foot minimum setback from single family residential
use or zone, and he went into further details about a "relational height limit." Councilmember Wick
asked if others are using that method and Mr. Kuhta said that Spokane has some similar regulations.
Councilmember Grafos remarked that using the relational height limit would be a lot cleaner and would
eliminate a lot of confusion, and Councilmember Hafner concurred.
Councilmember Grassel asked about having a multi-family structure with garages near the fence line and
Mr. Kuhta said that would be addressed under the accessory structure; he explained that this proposal
does not address how tall a garage structure could be, and said what we would to examine is, what is a
typical single structure garage. Councilmember Woodard suggested having the regulations to allow for
creativity of steepness or pitch of the roof to break up the long spans of roof, and said the inhabitability
part was a big issue on the former proposaL Mr. Kuhta said there are some exceptions to the way you
measure, and said we could also examine the design features. There was brief discussion about buffers
between different densities, with Councilmember Woodard cautioning against up-zoning areas. Mr.
Kuhta said if Council would like, he will forward these suggestions to the Planning Commission and they
will start working on code text amendments. Council concurred.
5. Animal Control Update—Mor�an Koudelka, Mark Calhoun,Mike Jackson
Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka gave a brief history of our City's current animal control services
with SCRAPS of Spokane County, and of Council authorizing the City Manager to issue a Request for
Proposals (RFP) for those services. Mr. Koudelka then reviewed the comparisons of the two proposals
received: one from SCRAPS of Spokane County, and the other from SpokAnimaL Mr. Koudelka
explained that tonight is an opportunity for Council to discuss the proposals, and if Council is comfortable
proceeding, staff will return within the next few weeks with a recommendation; after which Council will
provide direction to the City Manager, and said if such direction would be to pursue one of the proposals,
staff will negotiate the terms of a contract. Mr. Koudelka also noted that stated in the RFP is the clause
that Spokane Valley reserves the right to negotiate all elements, and said both respondents said they were
willing to negotiate terms of such a contract. Mayor Towey invited questions from Council.
Councilmember Grassel asked for discussion on the data contained on page 1 of the comparisons, under
Attachment B, Expenses in Excess of Revenue. Finance Director Calhoun explained that the reason we
look at the financial report, is to try to ascertain their success in covering operating expenses with
revenues; and said things that could skew that picture include proceeds of a County bond measure. The
number of citations was also discussed and it was noted that the seemingly repeated category of 2d
"Number of citations issued" actually shows the first number as citations issued, and the second number
as the number of successful prosecutions of those citations. Mr. Koudelka also explained that in
conducting interviews with representatives from both agencies, that both indicated citations don't always
work, as there is usually a balance between citations and education, and establishing a relationship, and
Council Study Session Minutes 08-21-12 Page 3 of 7

DRAFT
said both entities have similar approaches using education or citation as a tool to protect animals. City
Attorney Driskell added that regarding how we contract with an entity, is during the RFP process we get
to identify service as well as cost that we have some fle�bility, and once we get direction from Council
on a preferred provider, staff negotiates with that provider and if we can't reach agreement, we might
move to the next proposed provider.
Councilmember Wick asked about "Animals Accepted" shown on page six, and Mr. Koudelka said that
SCRAPS accepts all animals as noted; and that SpokAnimal does the same and they are also a humane
society, so if someone from outside Spokane brought in an animal, they are not necessarily turned away.
Councilmember Woodard said he disagreed with that statement, but Mr. Koudelka said he discussed this
at length with SpokAnimal about when an owner wants to surrender an animal; that SpokAnimal will
interview the owner, and that sometimes the issue is a matter of finances, and if so, SpokAnimal can offer
to list the animal on Craig's list he said SpokAnimal does not refuse that person. Mr. Koudelka said that
when SCRAPS has a person who surrenders an animal, SCRAPS said they have found that the animal
owner has usually exhausted their resources and options, and so they do not discuss the issue further.
Councilmember Woodard asked if staff received any comments from citizens or veterinarians about
preference, and City Manager Jackson replied that the only veterinarian was in the letter of references to
SCRAPS, which also mentions SpokAnimal; and said he received one other e-mail from a citizen; and
said once this matter comes before Council for a motion consideration, citizens will have the opportunity
to comment.
After a few council comments about a preference, Mr. Koudelka said staff is not asking for a decision
tonight, but is asking Council to consider these issues prior to the matter coming back to council in a few
weeks; that even though we received two proposals, it doesn't mean we have to accept either one as is; he
said if Council is comfortable with one over the other, staff would like to pursue modifying terms, and
after negotiations, come back and let Council know if those negotiations were successful or if there are
other alternatives; with the final step of Council approving a contract and said if staff has enough
information now, staff can come back with a recommendation, which he said, would also be contingent
upon changes of terms, if any, at that time. Councilmember Hafner stated that things to consider are
quality compared with cost, and which is more important spend more money and get more quality, or
spend less money for the same quality; adding that he would like to see a comparison of both for either a
ten or twenty year contract, or negotiate the County to a ten year contract and acknowledged there are
many variables to consider. Finance Director Calhoun said that the analysis of cost included by Mr.
Koudelka suggests $216,000 for SpokAnimal, or $255,000 for SCRAPS, over a twenty-year stretch, plus
including CPI changes (consumer price index) or not. Other issues discussed included license compliance
cases, that both entities are fairly similar, with SCRAPS having a little more success. The issue of
officers investigating as noted on page 2 was discussed, with Mr. KoudeLka explained that SpokAnimal
would have to be authorized by the City and be commissioned by the Sheriff's Office in order to provide
that service, and said SpokAnimal said they would be willing to go through the same types of training as
officers handing these issues for SCRAPS. Councilmember Hafner again expressed concern with a
twenty-year contract and asked if the terms can be negotiated, and Mr. Koudelka replied that we would
most likely seek a ten-year term; and said the County chose a twenty-year term because that allows them
to recover the cost for a new facility and meet their goals of annual costs to the participating jurisdictions;
he said the County said they would be willing to negotiate the terms but feel fairly strong about the length
of service; and said if that term was altered, it would most likely shift the other costs forward making our
cost heavier for a ten-year term. Whether the City of Spokane participates was also mentioned, and Mr.
Koudelka said if Spokane City and the City of Spokane Valley don't participate in SCRAPS, he feels it
would be difficult for them to achieve a new facility as their demand would be much less; and said that
the County indicated they do not want to invest any more funds in their current facility; so if SCRAPS
lost both cities, they would likely need to re-evaluate their needs.

6. Plannin� Commission Rules of Procedure—Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell explained the background of the proposed updates, which includes cleaning up
some inconsistencies and minor housekeeping items, then went over the more substantive proposed
changes. One of the proposed changes was the removal of the reference to having a Council liaison at the
Planning Commission meetings, and Mr. Driskell explained that the minutes are the official record of the
meeting as opposed to a Councilmember or Planning Commissioner giving a report of the meeting. The
subject of absences was also discussed, which included how to track unexcused or excused absences,
consequences of missing meetings, and the procedure to remove Commissioners, which is done by the
Mayor with council concurrence. Mr. Driskell said staff will research this further and bring a report back
to Council at a later date.
7. Spra�ue Property—Mark Calhoun, In�a Note, Mike Jackson
City Manager Jackson explained that City and Library staffs have been working together since January on
an Interlocal and other aspects of a joint agreement for potential purchase of property on Sprague, with
the intent to develop a joint library and park site; said he wanted to discuss information he received last
week from the Library for the City to be more flexible on the terms of the Interlocal as the Library seeks
to reduce the size of the original proposaL Mr. Jackson gave a brief history on the process so far and
stated it is dif�cult to develop language in an Interlocal agreement without having some idea of what the
development could be, which prompted the need for a traffic study. He explained that Council previously
approved a Memorandum of Understanding to move forward with that study; he said that Phase One of
the Environmental Assessment is complete and it shows no environmental concerns with that property.
Mr. Jackson also mentioned that we were reminded that STA (Spokane Transit Authority) owned half of
the e�sting Balfour Property, and he expressed gratitude to STA for deeding that property to Spokane
Valley. Mr. Jackson said the library conducted a re-evaluation of their needs and since the latest proposal
is a deviation from what was previously discussed with Council, Mr. Jackson felt council's input was
needed prior to moving forward to �nalize an Interlocal. Directing Council's attention to page 4 of the
draft Interlocal agreement, Mr. Jackson said the library anticipated that its needs will include 30,000
square feet limited to one floor, as opposed to the previous proposal of a 50,000 square foot, two-story
building. City Manager Jackson said the question to Council is, does the reduction in size impact the
process of the City moving forward.
Councilmember Woodard asked if the 30,000 square feet would be able to be expanded in the future; said
he has no problem with reducing the size to 30,000 square feet, but asked if the Library would have to
revise their Master Plan before making such a change. Mr. Jackson said most likely an Interlocal
agreement could be constructed to accommodate the Library's flexibility, and so far as their Master Plan,
that they can consider their own process, but it would probably be handled in the language of the
Interlocal. Councilmember Hafner said he talked to a lot of people who are excited about having a library
and a park, and mentioned possible events such as a picnic in the park, carnival, or flea market.
Councilmember Wick said the justi�cation for a library is not at issue, but rather, he was focusing on the
partnership and of the idea of a destination as defined from the recent Randall Report, that being
something unique that brings people here. Councilmember Grafos said he also has no problem in moving
ahead and feels the 30,000 square foot building would be a "win/win" situation; that the issue of the
Library electing to partner with us leads to the bottom line that we are deficient in park space; and he said
this would be a centerpiece for the City even without the library, and also mentioned having events such
as car shows, trails, and other events as something that citizens seek Councilmember Wick agreed we
need more park space, but asked about the priorities; and keeping in mind what the City spent on
Greenacres Park, asked do we want, for example, four parks of a Greenacres size, or a park on Sprague.
Councilmember Grafos suggested this is a one time opportunity for this 8.5 acreage. Councilmember
Wick agreed this would be a good opportunity for park space, but questioned which would touch more
Council Study Session Minutes 08-21-12 Page 5 of 7
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
citizens: one park or four smaller ones. Councilmember Woodard said most of the City's parks are
around the fringe of the City; he said he hopes the library can do what they plan; he acknowledged that
parks are expensive to build and the Library may also be wondering if the City can build the park; he said
the quality of the park and the location will make the difference.
The differences between the original proposal and the changed proposal were discussed; the main
difference would be a 30,000 square-foot one story building compared with the original 50,000 square-
foot two-story building; and Mr. Jackson said the footprint doesn't really change and the plans show the
building to be an impressive looking civic facility; and said if Council is comfortable with the minimum
size, it'll take a year or so after the finalization of the purchase to �nalize the site plan; plus additional
time to go to the ballot. Councilmember Wick said when this was originally proposed by the Library, he
felt it would be a significant, regional concept and a draw for people and would help spur the growth and
development of the area; and he asked if that is still captured with the design change; he said we want to
make sure we have something in this facility to make this a regional based facility, adding that it means a
fairly significant investment by the City; that we are talking years before this comes to fruition, and he
said the thing to consider is if this is the right move for us; which he said, doesn't mean we don't need a
library or a park,just things to consider. Mr. Jackson said we can have that discussion; that the intent is
to make it more of a neighborhood library; the new plan also removes the auditorium and said the idea
was to entice people to hold their meetings in that room which would hold 200 people; but said we could
explore other means of how this could impact the region; he said this is a shift and he wanted to be up-
front with what the library would provide; and said he could work with Ms. Ledeboer on that issue.
Councilmember Hafner said the library is a critical building for us and that it's what we do around that
building with a park that makes it a destination; that he likes the idea of various activities being able to be
accommodated in a room rather than an auditorium with 200 seats; and said he feels it is important to go
ahead with it and work with the library board; and said we won't have many opportunities for 8.5 acres
for this type of project and that we "have to strike while the iron is not" and make it a destination.
Regarding funding options, Finance Director Calhoun went over the included spreadsheet and Fund 310,
which he explained is the most likely source of funding if we pursue this; he said that the �gures are lifted
right out of the 2013 budget materials; and reminded Council of three other projects necessitating a
budget amendment as shown on the information under Fund #310; he said we have just under $3.5
million in the fund for the property acquisition and for a variety of other costs leading to the development
of a park, and mentioned there will also be a need to consider continued operation and maintenance costs.
Traf�c Engineer Note went over the highlights of the traffic study and included information on the
number of daily trips, the intersection level of service, and fire and on-street parking concerns; said
concerning the fire trucks; that an idea would be to change the traffic control at Main and Raymond and
work to reconfigure that area so the east/west has the right-of-way and the north/south would have to stop
and she said it would involve changing the stripping. Ms. Note said parking is an issue when people are
visiting the church thereby making it so narrow the fire trucks can't get through, so she said they would
put in a parking restriction on the narrow part of the on-street parking. Ms. Note also stated she checked
with STA(Spokane Transit Authority) about the idea of changing the route closer to the proposed
location, and while STA would not agree to a change in route, said they would work with her on the bus
stop locations. Ms. Note also explained the concept of the idea of a Hawk Signal, which is a pedestrian
signal mounted overhead next to the signal lights; she said the signal cost is about $200,000. At 9:00
p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the meeting
thirty minutes.
Councilmember Grafos suggested that since the City would be buying the land, to include verbiage that
the City would have full custody and control of the site until the passage of the bond issue and the library
begins construction on their portion of the site so that the library would have no objection to us using that

portion of the property even before the park is developed. Councilmember Wick added that this also ties
closely to a city hall. City Manager Jackson said if Council wants to consider potential uses, that should
probably be included in the draft Interlocal. Councilmember Woodard asked if we could accept public
donations and Mr. Jackson confirmed we could. Mayor Towey suggested whether the square footage is
50,000 or 30,000, that that would have to be considered in the purchase of the property, adding that the
library will not have control over some future issues like the bond ballot issue; he said there are still a lot
of unknowns and Council has to consider if it is good for Spokane Valley to purchase land in the middle
of our City for a future park; said there are many components to this partnership; and asked if we are
ready to invest taxpayer's money for a future park in the middle of Spokane Valley. Councilmember
Grassel said since this is a joint site development, she suggested adding language that both parties would
have input into the final design. Mr. Jackson replied that he feels the document already states that we
need to agree on a final site plan, but to include some verbiage that ensures both parties would be
comfortable with the �nal design, that it is compatible and would flow well together; and as an example,
said we would likely not want a farmer's market so close to the building that the noise would have an
adverse impact on the library; and he added that our partnership with the library has been a very
workable, collaborative relationship.
8. Advance A�enda—Mayor Towey
Councilmember Grassel said she attended the Saturday Night in the Park movie and that she had called
some of her friends to invite them, and no one knew about it. Councilmember Grassel said we need to
find another avenue to connect with our citizens, and suggested marketing Spokane Valley through
notices included in utility bills.
At 9:30 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded, to extend the meeting 20 minutes.
T�ote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Hafner,
Grassel, Grafos and Wick. Opposed: Councilmember Woodard. Motion carried.

City Manager Jackson said he has the final schedule for the conclusion of the Sprague Reconstruction,
and that he would put the information in council inboxes; said the truck parking topic has come up in the
past and that Mr. Driskell is working to put some information together; adding that we will also need
some idea of the traffic impact if trucks are forced off residential streets and onto the Argonne Underpass.
There being no further business, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously
agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 9:30 p.m.

on Spokane Valley.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited general public comments; no comments were offered.
1.PUBLIC HEARING: 2013 Bud�et Estimated Revenues and Ex�enditures—Mark Calhoun
Mayor Towey opened the public hearing at 6:19 p.m. Finance Director Calhoun explained that this is the
third occasion to present information on the 2013 budget, set for �nal adoption October 23, 2012; that
tonight is a prelude to the City Manager's preliminary budget presentation of September 11. Mr. Calhoun
reminded everyone that the information sheets are worksheets and the budget figures are still in transition.
Councilmember Hafner asked about the drop in fines and forfeitures and it was explained that the traffic
school was initiated last year which gives citizens the option to attend school instead of paying a traffic
�ne. In response to a question from council about the contingency fund and settle and adjust funds, City
Manager Jackson explained that we previously had a million dollars in the public safety budget to cover
settle and adjust but as part of our cost reduction since 2010, we have removed most of that amount from
public safety and in lieu of that, we have a $350,000 contingency; he said if we ever need to use that
money the issue would come back to council for review; and said if we ever spend all of our recurring and
nonrecurring expenses, which will not happen, that would result in a deficit and said the alternative
would be to remove the contingency and if needed in the future, make a budget appropriation. Mr.
Jackson said previously the �nance committee and last year the Council adopted that contingency.
Finance Director Calhoun continued his explanation of the budget and said the projected budget for 2013
is $25,371,000 as noted on page 2 of his handout.
Councilmember Grafos said that except for a couple items, the budgets for each department are identical
to what was proposed in June; he said he assumes the wage and benefit portion of the budget is projected
at the $8,400,000; which was the number given to council in June; and he said at that time there was a
discussion to use $8,156,000, which was what Councilmember Grafos said was assumed was the actual
number, and to use that figure plus 1%, which he said makes a difference of about $232,000; he said the
1% property tax levy is included in this budget, and asked at which point would Council ask to remove
that. City Manager Jackson said that staff always takes direction from Council, which was the purpose of

the retreat, but the preference would be for staff to deliver that budget to Council on September ll, that
way Council will ha�e a clear perspective on staff's recommendation; and afterwards, have any
discussion Council would like and at that time staff would be happy to make adjustments per Council's
direction. Councilmember Grafos also asked about having a line item with 6% in the general fund. Mr.
Jackson replied that can occur if that is Council's direction at the time of the budget discussion; and said
that during his presentation September 11, he'll walk council through the impact and said as was
discussed at the retreat, staff provided Council with a 3, 6, and 9%reduction scenario; and said September
ll he'll show Council what the impact would be of making further reductions to the operations budget
that based on staff's proposal, staff was able in a very prudent way to find an amount equal to 6% of the
general fund, and as he'll explain September 11, which will also be sustainable for four years, at which
time it will be only partially sustainable, and then we would have to look at additional revenue sources.
Mr. Jackson said obviously Council can further reduce the general fund budget, but that he hopes to
demonstrate September ll that we are running very lean and with the workload we hope to accomplish in
2013, it would be difficult to make additional reductions. Mayor Towey invited public comments; no
comments were offered and Mayor Towey closed the public hearing at 6:42 p.m.

3. First Readin� Proposed Ordinance 12-021, amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal Code 19.120,
Animal Shelters in Corridor Mixed Use Zone—Karen Kendall
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded to advance Ordinance 12-021 to a second reading. As Assistant Planner Kendall explained the
proposal, Mayor Towey asked for clarification that if this change is approved, that it would bypass the
Hearing Examiner process; and that this change would be a decision throughout the entire City Limits.
Assistant Planner Kendall concurred with the Mayor's statement, and further explained that a Conditional
Use Permit would be the avenue for using the Hearing Examiner whereby additional conditions could be
imposed upon the speci�c proposal, but that this is not a site-specific proposal, but would in fact, be
applied throughout the City. After Ms. Kendall's presentation, Mayor Towey invited public comment.
No comments were offered. T�ote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion
carried.

schedule to adopt our budget at the October 23 council meeting. Mayor Towey invited public comment.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
6. Memorandum of Understandin�, Gateway Improvements—Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell mentioned the draft in the council packet and the one distributed tonight in track-
change format, and explained that staff felt that some changes were appropriate to propose to the other
partners. As noted in the Request for Council Action Form and the Memorandum of Understanding, Mr.
Driskell gave the history of this document and explained the proposed changes. Council had no objection
in staff moving this forward.
7. Lod�in� Tax—Mark Calhoun
Finance Director Calhoun explained the background of the lodging tax funding award process, and of the
schedule for the next round of funding; that he anticipated the 2% tax would generate $460,000 in 2013,
and as the budget is currently prepared, that entire amount would be appropriated,which includes $30,000
for CenterPlace advertising; and said the Lodging TaY Committee will make the initial funding allocation
recommendation to Council and Council will ultimately make the awards at the December 11, 2012
Council meeting. Mr. Calhoun also noted that beginning July 1, 2013, the law changes and as of that date,
funds will only be able to be used for marketing purposes. Councilmember Woodard asked if the City
might be able to use some of these funds for way �nding signs, and Mr. Calhoun said he will need to
research that question. Other questions arose concerning how the funds might be used, such as for
creating a Jazz Festival, and Mr. Calhoun remarked that the funds must be used as a draw for tourists.
Concerning the schedule, Mr. Calhoun stated that scheduling is always a challenge as there must be a gap
of 45 days between the committee meeting to the actual award of funds. Further discussion ensued
regarding the idea of setting aside a set amount for the City's use, such as those way-finding signs, with
City Manager Jackson stating that we could always award those funds in the following year; and Mayor
Towey suggesting staff research the regulations to determine how the City might be able to use such
funds. Finance Director Calhoun added that funds could be carried over to the following year and do not
need to be immediately allocated to any specific project.
8. Advance A�enda—Mayor Towey
Councilmember Woodard asked about the status of the sidewalk infill project at Adams to Sullivan and
24`h. Engineer Worley said that project is planned to go out to bid either next week or the following
week; he said it took longer than anticipated to get permissions from all the adjoining property owners to
have access onto their properties in order to build the sidewalks; and said we now have that and should be
out to bid in a few weeks. Councilmember Grafos said the project on Sprague from Argonne/Mullan to
Park Road is scheduled in the pavement program for 2013 or 2014 for a grind and overlay; that it took
about eighteen months to get the swale project from Park Road to Thierman underway; and said that area
from Argonne/Mullan to Park Road is important as a huge amount of our revenues come from those car
dealers; and said he'd like to get some of that engineering started; and mentioned a previous discussion of
allowing street parking for the south side of Sprague Avenue and suggested staff look at some grants as

part of our road preservation funds. Councilmember Grafos also mentioned the stormwater and swales on
Appleway and the idea to do beautification and mentioned the swales from Thierman to University City;
he said with the City's 10"'Anniversary coming up, this might be a project to consider; and said he'd like
to see where our priorities are for those projects. City Manager Jackson said staff could generate a report
and include those projects in the context of the other projects on the preservation plan. There were no
obj ections from Council. Councilmember Hafner asked about the status of the car shows and Mr.Jackson
said Parks and Recreation Director Stone will bring a report to Council.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
City Manager Jackson said $75,000 was initially set aside for economic development in 2012, and
originally those funds were to be used for an economic development plan; he said through Council
discussions at the retreat and other meetings, it was decided to put together our own plan and create the
Economic Development Ad Hoc Committee. In the meantime, Mr. Jackson said those funds are mostly
intact and said staff proposes to issue an RFP (Request for Proposals) for an advertising firm to begin
promoting and advertising a City identity, that there now exists about $69,400; he said such a consulting
�rm would advertise why we are a premier location for economic development and said he would like to
start moving that proj ect. There were no obj ections from Council.
There being no further business, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously
agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:23 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration - Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement between Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.34
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative report September 4, 2012.
BACKGROUND: The City is authorized under state law to utilize the purchasing contracts of
other jurisdictions in the state by following certain rules. This is commonly referred to as
"piggybacking" on the contract of the other entity. One of the requirements is the adoption of an
interlocal agreement by both entities which provides such authority. This proposed interlocal
agreement meets that requirement. There are other requirements specific to each piggybacked
purchasing event, and staff would be happy to provide the information if the Council is
interested.
Staff is proposing this interlocal purchasing agreement with Spokane County in the near term so
the City can purchase additional Mobile Data Computers (MDC) for use by our City Police
Department, and the grant funds expire September 30, 2012. This would allow the City to utilize
the County contract, which is priced substantially below normal retail pricing.
OPTIONS: Approve with or without modifications.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to execute the
Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement between Spokane County and the City
of Spokane Valley as drafted.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration — Temporary Water Service Agreement -
Gateway Project
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.34
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of, and appropriation for the gateway sign
project.
BACKGROUND: The City Council previously approved the design and construction of a
gateway sign at the corner of Appleway and Thierman.
As part of the project, staff contacted Spokane County Water District No. 3 (the "District") about
extending water service to the site. Currently, there is no water main in the right-of-way parallel
to the site. Installing a water main would be costly, and would significantly add to the cost of the
project.
There is fire hydrant service on the parcel directly adjacent to the site on the west. The District
has agreed to allow a one inch line to be extended from this fire hydrant service to the site on
which the gateway sign will be located. This line would be sufficient to provide irrigation to the
site and maintain the green space. Staff and the District negotiated a Temporary Water Service
Agreement for extension of the water line. The agreement is labeled as temporary, but will last
indefinitely unless and until either (1) the City uses the water service for purposes other than
park irrigation, or (2) the water demands of the surrounding property exceeds current capacity,
and installation of a water main along the right-of-way becomes necessary. Under the latter
scenario, the City would only be obligated to pay its proportional share of the cost to install a
new water main, and would be liable for this amount only if it continued water service after the
District installed the main.
Extension of at least the one inch water line is necessary to complete the gateway project as
designed by staff and approved by Council.
The Temporary Water Service Agreement is attached. The District has already approved the
terms of the contract.
OPTIONS: (1) Authorize the City Manager to execute the Temporary Water Service
Agreement, (2) request additional changes to the proposed Temporary Water Service
Agreement; or (3) not approve the Temporary Water Service Agreement and direct staff to re-
design the gateway sign site without landscaping that requires irrigation, which would delay
project completion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move that we authorize the City Manager to
execute the Temporary Water Service Agreement with Spokane County Water District 3.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Not applicable for the Agreement, although there will be costs
related to extending the water line in the amount of$6,700.

adopt a comprehensive land use plan and development regulations that are consistent
with and implement the comprehensive plan.
Countvwide Plannin�Policies
2. The Countywide Planning Policies (CWPP) are based on principles developed through
a lengthy citizen participation process. One of the guiding principles coming out of
that process was the importance of protecting neighborhood character. For most

quality of life. It is the intent of the CWPP to maintain neighborhood character and
prevent neighborhoods from suffering the negative effects of growth.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: On February 7, 2012, staff presented to City Council an overview of the Corridor
Mixed Use and Garden Office zones after which the City Council directed staff to conduct a review of the
Permitted and Accessory Uses matrix and propose additional uses which would be appropriate in these
zones. During that review, staff identified a number of other appropriate updates throughout the
permitted use matrix. The Spokane Valley Planning Commission conducted a study session on June 28,
2012, a public hearing on July 12, 2012 and continued deliberations on July 26, 2012. In addition to the
updates proposed by staff, the Planning Commission voted to allow crematoriums in the Corridor Mixed
Use zones and formalized staff recommendation of Entertainment facilities-indoor as a Conditional Use
in the Heavy Industrial zone. On August 9, 2012, the Planning Commission voted 6-0 to advance the
Findings and Recommendations to the City Council. At an Administrative Report on August 21, 2012,
the City Council requested additional changes/additions to the matrix. On September 4,2012 staff
presented an updated Permitted Use Matrix and Appendix A which reflected the changes requested by the
City Council.
OPTIONS: Proceed as proposed, or as modified; or direct staff further.

"I believe t��e City CounciI s�iould consider and adopt the above text at��endn�ent."].
St�ch a code text ainendment would benefit the City of Spokane Uall�y and its residents
for several reasons. First, it woi�ld bring t��e City's permitted use matrix i�i line«itli tlie
City's co�npeEitors for businesses and the tax revenues they genei•ate. Bot1i ,��okane �nd
Spokane County allow so�ne office uses in tl�eir high density residential zones (RHD and
RIV�` zones in Spokane, and HDR itz Spokan� Countyj. Of tl�e t��ree largest local
govern���ents in eastet•n Washington, only the City of Spokane Valley prohibits office uses
in higli z•esidential zones. Tl�is liinits the options available fox•t�ie location of professional
offices such as dentists, physicians, lawyers, accountanks, ei�gineers, etc. While Spokane
Valley inay have o}�e�1 spaces for lease in comniercial zones, it lacks affordable and
attractive lo�s tliat pei•init a p��ofessional to place an owne�•-operated office. Such
pt-ofessionals and theii•tax�-evenues at•e more easily attt-actec�by �pokane and Spokane
County.
Adoption of such an a�nendment would also pi•omote the development of otherwise
stagi�ate Iand, and lielp iiiake neig���orhood���iore att�•acti��e. Muc�� of the land zoned as
MF-2 is not large enough to suppart a successful high density development—p�rticula�•ly
in the cur�•ent eco�lorny. ��owe�ei•, it is priced at tlie higher MF-2 price and tht�s is not
a�le ta be developed profitably at a lower use (such as singIe family residential). As a
rest2lt, mat�y lats sit vacant and are not able ta be used for t�ieir liigltest and best puipose.
I'�irtha�•, tl�e proposed amend�nent wo��Id allow property ownez's to use tlae p�•ope�•ty far a
use which inay be �nore desit•able than�nulti-fainily hol�sing. As can be seet�by Mr.
Ar-�er's application for Compreliensive Plan Amendment CPA 05-012, neighbors
borde�•ing MF-2 land often prefer a ]ess intense p��afessional office locating in tlieir area
than a inul�iple levei hig��density apart�l�ent, condoininiu�n complex, or to�vnl�oikse
developnieiit. T��is is unde�standable. P�•afessionaI office uses on an M[i-2 lot ti��ould
probably resul�in less tt�affic and Iess negative secondary e��ects than large apartrnent
co�nplexes, especially during evenings ar�d weekends. In t��e case of MF-2 land��hicli
does not border an a�•terial, tlie a�ttendtnent ti��ould a11ow peo�le in the actual affected
neigl�bor��oods determine whethez• an office o�•other similar t�se shauld be be allowed in
their neigf�bot��ooc�. In other words, the affected people woi�ld have a voice in whekl�e�'a
dental office instead of a large apartment cornplex locates in their backyard.
Adoption of such an amendn�ent would not harili #h� community. Most of tlie MF-2 Iand
inside the City is in close proxiinity to commercial �nd/or office zones. Accordingly,
office use on M�-2 iand wo�ild not be otit of cha��acter or change t�ie natttre of the
neigliborliood, Indeed, office tises are less intense t�1an inany of the uses th� code
cucrently allows in t�ie MF-2 zone. Some e�a��iples ii�clude cate�•ing sei•vices, cotnmunity
I�alls/faeilities, �iospitals, m�nufaetui�ed l�ome parks, c�Tl{� SC�100I5. T� IS 1T'OI�IC ��lc�� c� fU��
seivice 24 ��our hos�ital could be b��ilt on a parcel zoned MF-2, but that a single
physieian could not locate his/he�'of�ce at the exact sa�ne location.
In suinmat�y, adop#ing the p�•oposed amendment wot�ld (1) coz�r•ect an ineonsistency in the
City's zoni�ig regulations ar�d allow additional, more desirable, and less intense uses in
t��e MF-2 zone than wllat is cui�z•er�tly allowed, (2) restot-e a use which was allo���ed unde�•
Spokaxie County's zoning before incorporation, but was take�i fi•aiii t�ese p�•operty ownei•s
when the Spokane Vailey�nacted jnare i•estricti�e zoning classi#ications, (3) put the City
on a��ore IeveI playing field with neighbo�•ing jurisdictions in trying to attract businesses
to the City, (�) enable Ianda��rne�•s to develop otl�ertivise st�gna[e Iand, and (5) allaw the
City to incr•ease rts tax revenues b}r expandir�g the tax base, �-atiier t�i�n raising tax��ates.
T�iank you for considering tliis request to ainend tlie code to encourage cconomic
development in the City. If you would Iike any additional inforination, please feel fi•ee to

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Sidewalk and Transit Accessibility Project
(#0154) Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: This item was part of the Admin Report for 2011 New
Freedom Call for Projects brought before council on February 8, 2011. Council gave
consensus to submit New Freedom Applications to SRTC. On February 14, 2012 an Info RCA
was provided in council's packet. On March 20, 2012 an Admin report was given to council. On
March 27th, 2012 Council authorized the city manager to execute the contract between Spokane
Transit Authority (STA) and the city. Information RCA on 9/4/2012.
BACKGROUND: Federal New Freedom grant funds from the Federal Transit Administration
(FTA) are targeted towards projects and programs that provide new or enhanced public
transportation and public transportation alternatives for individuals with disabilities in both rural
and urban areas. Eligible capital projects include sidewalks, accessible bus stops and shelters.
Use of these funds requires a 20% local match.
Staff coordinated with STA and FTA developing site plans and receiving approval of the
environmental documents for the project. FTA and STA approved the authorization of funding
for improvements set forth in the grant application. However, STA later learned that the total
amount of funds available was $178,790; less than the $252,009 originally anticipated.
Staff completed the Phase 1 design of the project including sidewalk extensions on Park Road
(8tn to 12th) and Montgomery Ave (at University). It is unlikely, due to the reduced funding from
STA, that a second phase of this project will be completed.
The project was advertised and bids are scheduled to be opened Friday, September 7`h. Bid
tabulations will be available at the council meeting.
OPTIONS: 1) Award contract to the lowest responsive and responsible bidder, 2) Not award
contract to lowest responsive and responsible bidder, or 3) Provide additional direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to award the bid for the Sidewalk and Transit
Stop Accessibility Project — Phase 1 (#0154) to ., in the amount
of and to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the
construction contract.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The required match on New Freedom funded projects is 20%.
With a total grant amount of $178,790, the city's match is $44,698. The total project budget is
therefore $223,488.
STAFF CONTACT: Steve M. Worley, PE— Senior Capital Projects Engineer

Preservation Shortfall
�.
2013 Pavement Preservation still falls short of Street
Master Plan.
1. We have maximized reduction in General Fund over past three
budget years. Further reduction will negatively impact services and
will not significantly impact pavement preservation.
2. We can continue to maximize economy in General Fund and direct
funds to preservation.
3. Focus on preservation vs. road improvement projects.
4. 2012 Revision of Street Master Plan will include an
implementation plan based on our ability to fund.
5. We can wait for our economy to grow and generate additional
revenue under existing tax structure.
6. In the future, we can consider additional revenue sources.

City Manager's Budget Message
2013 Annual Bud et �
g ��
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane T�alley: �
I am pleased to present the attached 2013 proposed budget for the City of Spokane Valley. In a
continuing trend of local and national economic challenge, the City of Spokane Valley remains
strong and continues to benefit from a history of prudent financial decisions since our 2003
incorporation. Careful budgeting and restrained spending leaves us almost unique among cities
in providing a balanced budget and a substantial ending fund balance.
During this past year we have heard and read stories of Cities such as Stockton and San
Bernardino, California going bankrupt. Dozens if not hundreds of Cities face drastic budget
reductions and uncertain futures. The City of Spokane Valley is in sound financial condition. In
fact, Spokane Valley is a stellar example of how a City can function efficiently and economically
while providing key services to the community. Our employee count and personnel expenses are
among the lowest(if not the lowest)in the nation.
To ensure continued financial stability it is imperative that the City keep its recurring expenses in
check To do this, we must continue to limit our spending to match our annual revenues. To meet
this obj ective, the City has incrementally reduced recurring expenses over the past three years
and kept our Ending Fund Balance intact.
There is an important exception to the spending limitations. In 2012, the City initiated spending
of general fund, special fund and capital project fund revenues and reserves for the sole purpose
of aiding street preservation. In 2012 and again in 2013 our citizens will see an aggressive
program of repaving our roadways. Some may question paving roads that"don't look so bad."
The truth is the best time to repave is before a road deteriorates to the point that full
reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction can cost six to eight times more than repaving.
That is why the City of Spokane Valley has committed critical financial resources to preservation
of our transportation infrastructure.
1
Fiscal Policies
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are an important element in the long range
budget view. These policies, comprised of Financial Management, Financial Obj ectives and
Commitment, appropriately dictate that if the economic conditions deteriorate more than
anticipated, future budget reductions may be triggered. The current budget forecast gives us hope
these future reductions or service cuts will not be necessary and elected officials and staff remain
committed to ensuring that service levels are commensurate with the revenue sources currently
in place.
As noted with few exceptions for non-recurring expenses, we have not tapped into reserves to
balance our general fund. During each budget cycle, the City will review the reserve balance and
determine if additional budget cuts are needed.
Financial Management—The City proposes to: ��� �
1. Maintain basic service levels with reduced resources
2. Minimize personnel costs/overhead by continuing to contract for many services
3. Continue the 6-year Business Plan process
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy
• The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities
based on assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley currently
utilizes only 1.49% of its total allowable debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 7.46% of non-voted bond capacity. This is extremely low debt.
Financial Objectives - The City's financial objectives are:
1. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Balance of 50% of revenues.
a. To meet this objective and reduce the undesignated Ending Fund Balance,
$7,826,207 will be transferred as follows:
■ $2,000,000 to Fund#312 - Sullivan Street Bridge Fund
�- ■ $2,000,000 to Fund#313 - City Hall Fund
■ $2,000,000 to Fund#314 -Park Development Fund
■ $1,826,207 to Fund#315 —Capital Reserve Fund
2. If necessary, utilize the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund ($5.4 million) to
maintain ending fund balance minimum.
3. Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund will not reduce below $3.24 million (60%
of$5.4 million).
4. Property tax assessment will increase by 1% over 2012 as provided by law. We
anticipate this will result in a levy of$11,051,904 for 2013.
Commitment — By committing to these objectives, the City will ensure financial sustainability
well into the future. The City can achieve this by:
2
• Holding 2013 recurring expenses to a maximum 1% increase over 2012.
Notably, this objective was achieved prior to adding a Pavement Preservation
element to the budget. See following section Budget Highlights — New
Pavement Preservation Fund for additional explanation.
Budget Highlights
The 2013 Budget recognizes the economic realities of our times and the necessity to continue to
operate within our financial means. At the same time, and for the first time in the City's budget
history, the 2013 Budget establishes a Pavement Preservation Fund #311 with projected
expenditures of$2,054,141.
New Pavement Preservation Fund: The 2012 Budget established a Pavement
Presentation Fund #311 with proj ected expenditures of $2,054,141 for 2013. To
help meet preservation needs, $855,857 will be transferred from the General Fund
to Pavement Preservation resulting in a total 1.24% increase in General Fund
Recurring Expenditures. Additional transfers to Pavement Preservation include
$282,000 from the Street Fund, $616,284 from the Civic Facilities Replacement
Fund, $150,000 from Capital Projects Fund and $150,000 from Special Capital
Proj ects Fund. Most of these transfers are proj ected to be sustainable for the
foreseeable future. However, the transfer from the Civic Facilities Replacement
fund is not sustainable and can occur for four years (including 2013) until the
balance of$2,403,848 is depleted. Pavement preservation is seen as a much more
immediate and critical need than the potential future replacement of CenterPlace
or the Valley Police Precinct.
Budget Reductions: Before Pavement Preservation is factored in, the 2013
General Fund budget actually decreased by 1.22% as compared to 2012. In fact,
the 2013 Proposed Budget prior to adding Pavement Preservation was $589,409
�� or 1.7% less than the 2011 Budget. This deserves recognition. We are spending
less and maintaining similar service levels (including no reduction in law
enforcement) during a period of about 3 %inflation.
Staffing Levels: Staffing levels were reduced by 9.5 full-time and 2 temporary
unfilled positions in 2011. For 2012 we remained at this same reduced level,
operating a city of 90,SSOi residents with a staff of 87.25 employees. In 2013 we
will reduce an additional 2.0 employees. Even taking into consideration that we
contract for police services and are served by Fire Districts and a Library District,
we are operating substantially below the normal employee count for a major city
at a substantially reduced cost. Spokane Valley personnel costs are approximately
' Washington State Department of Financial Management, April 1,2012
3
20% of the total General Fund Budget. Comparable cities and counties typically
fund personnel costs at about 60% to 70% of their General Fund Budget (after
adjusting for police, fire and library personnel, which the City of Spokane Valley
contracts). Spokane Valley staff levels are about 1 employee for every 1,059
citizens. Other cities compared range from 1 employee to every 163 citizens to 1
employee for every 491 citizens. While the survey is not scientific, the low
comparable personnel costs coupled with the low employee per citizen ratio
indicates the City of Spokane Valley is operating at a very low and effective
staffing level.
Moderate Growth in Current Operational Expenses: Investing in the essential
core services identified by the Council and community creates baseline costs.
Similar to the trend in most jurisdictions, costs and demands for service are
growing while tax revenues are decreasing. Quality service delivery requires
ongoing investment in basic capacity to provide efficient operations. Moderate as
it may be, operational expenses cannot continue to increase during declining or
flat revenue. The City can either subsidize operational expenses with reserves, or
husband their reserves and make additional budget reductions.
Public Safety Costs: In 2013, the Police, Court and Jail related services proposed
budget is $22,139,200 —an amount equal to 200% of anticipated property
tax collections ($11,051,904) for the entire year. Council has made a
commitment not to reduce public safety service levels and associated costs in
2013.
� y
Challenges: � ��
Pavement Preservation: Fully funding our Street Preservation needs must be
balanced with other priorities therefore future revenue sources will be required.
The City will update the Preservation Plan in 2013.
Grants and Declining Matching Funds: City staff actively pursues funding
commitments from other sources to help pay the cost of needed capital
improvements—roads, bridges and parks—that benefit the community. The 2012
capital construction program totaled $10,725,804 with $7,828,118 (73%) coming
from outside sources. The 2013 budget proj ects a total capital construction
budget of$6,688,339 with $6,027,922 (86) % coming from outside sources.
When the City applies for state and federal grants, the City must provide its share
(match) for these proj ects. In the past, Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) was used
for most of the City match. However, during the last five years, this tax has
declined from $2.5 million to $1 million, leaving a potential future shortage of
local match depending on availability of Federal, State and Local grants. For now,
the City has a small projected surplus of $300,000 in REET Funding which will
transfer to the Pavement Preservation Fund.
4
Local Street Maintenance Combination of� Funding: This fund derives its
revenues from an allocation of the State Motor Fuel Tax distributed to cities and
towns, and a 6% city utility tax on telephone usage estimated in 2013 at
$1,861,000 and $2,900,000 respectively. Three is also an anticipated $1,961,271
Beginning Fund Balance that will carry over into 2013. Therefore, the
combination of Fuel Tax and Telephone Utility Tax enables us to meet the
ongoing need for these funds to pay for street maintenance activities like snow
plowing, pothole repair, crack sealing sweeping, weed control, street lighting
traffic signals and a variety of other repairs/improvements. In 2013, $282,000
will transfer to Pavement Preservation for more substantial repaving projects.
The Budget for 2013
�
Balanced Budget Adopted: °r �,
One of the most important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to
maintain basic services during an economic downturn. The creation and maintenance of financial
reserves since incorporation has served its intended purpose and provided the opportunity for
Spokane Valley to sustain critical public services during the turbulent economic conditions that
began in 2008. The 2013 budget reflects a continuation of service delivery capabilities during
difficult and uncertain economic times.
The 2013 budget is in balance. Expenses have been balanced with known or reasonably
predictable revenues. The budget is designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at
year end that provides for the city's cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of
fiscal responsibility, special attention was given to limiting the growth in new programs and
financial commitments, while City revenue and expenditure patterns further fluctuate with the
economy. This approach allows available resources to be put toward sustaining services that are
consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2013 and beyond.
Since incorporation, this City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staf£ Spokane
Valley continues to have the lowest employee count of any Washington city with 50,000 or more
in population. A 2011 Work Force Comparison chart is included in the budget document. By all
comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is a lean, productive City government.
Future Concepts:
The budget process is not static and Council, the citizens, and staff must remain vigilant to watch
for economic trends that impact current forecasts. Even as we adopt a 2013 budget, we must
keep in mind the future economic opportunities and threats that may impact our multi-year
forecast. An example of potential impacts and adaptive future concepts are as follows:
• A commitment by Management to review all vacant positions prior to filling them. (In
some cases, positions must be filled quickly due to workload.)
5
• Continue budget strategy to fund City programs and pavement preservation within the
existing City of Spokane Valley tax structure. Develop a plan for fully sustainable
pavement preservation funding.
• By all indications, the economic recovery of the U.S. and its collective states, counties
and cities will be a slow and deliberate process. The City of Spokane Valley does not
predict measureable growth in property tax or sales tax revenues through 2015 and we are
budgeting with that in mind.
• Because it represents about 63% of the General Fund budget, achieving future budget
reductions without impacting Law Enforcement and other Public Safety services will be
challenging.
�
Acknowledgments: � �
I would like to acknowledge the City Council and the Staff for a long history of conservative
spending and prudent fiscal planning. The City of Spokane Valley is in an enviable position in
relation to other Federal, State and local entities. Although we must continue to budget and
spend wisely, we do not have to make drastic cuts in critical services to balance our 2013 budget.
By saving and conserving the taxpayers' money, and by adopting prudent long-term fiscal
policies, the City can balance its budget for many years to come.
It has been rewarding to work with the City Council and the staff in developing the budget,
achieving substantial reductions and exceeding expectations for budget reductions and street
preservation for 2013. The City Council has set a path to ensure the long-term financial
sustainability of the City. The management staff and employees have worked together to develop
Business Plans and 2013 budget recommendations that achieve Council's goal of sustainability.
Respectfully,

SUBJECT: About the 2013 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds. Additionally, the
budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and community. As a result, the
City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policv Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect the
general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document, the budget
makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day activities of the
City staff.
2. It is an O�erational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have been
planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help to maintain an
understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and to the attainment of
the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations. The
budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future implications, and the
direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Le a�llv Required Financial Plannin� Tool
The budget is a �nancial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing and
adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to the
beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority to expend public moneys and controls
those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are
estimated, along with available cash carry-forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account
unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
�
2013 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of government that
the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following year. However, with the
downturn in the economy and resultant reduction in revenues (most notably the decline in sales taxes), the
20ll through 2013 Budget development processes were amended to consciously review service levels in each
department and determine the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to available
resources.
The 2013 Budget development process began at the February 7, 2012 Council Retreat where among other
topics, Council and Staff discussed the budget in general terms. In mid-April 2012 the Finance Department
notified City Departments that their 2013 revenue and expenditure estimates were due by May 16. Through
the balance of May and early June, the City Manager's office and Finance Department worked to prepare
budget worksheets that were communicated to the City Council at a Budget Retreat held June 12, 2012.
Following the retreat, the Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue
and expenditure estimates and through July and early August, the Finance Department and City Manager
reviewed updated budget proj ections.
By the time the 2013 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on October 23, 2012, the Council will have had an
opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings to gather input from
citizens:
June 12 Council Budget Retreat
August 14 Admin report: Estimated 2013 revenues and expenditures
August 28 Public hearing#1 on 2013 revenues and expenditures
September ll City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2013 Budget
September 25 Public hearing#2 on 2013 Budget
October 9 Public hearing#3 on 2013 Budget
October 9 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2013 Budget
October 30 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2013 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage. Throughout the
year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department directors to ensure that actual
expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The Finance Department provides the City
Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep them abreast of the City's financial condition and
individual department compliance with approved appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during
the year are adopted by City Council ordinance.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revisions that alter
the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges or
other conditions of employment must be approved by the City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease the
appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding one public
hearing.
s
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
• Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City
Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are approved.
• The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of the
City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State of Washington statutes
governing local government budgeting practices.
• The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating solutions
and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
• Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
• Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process at the fund
level prior to fiscal year end.
• The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
CounciUconstituent friendly format.
• Short term debt shall not exceed 10% of revenues. No long term debt will be incurred without
identification of a revenue source to repay the debt. Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes
only.
• The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to replace the
equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions will be
reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in difficult economic times may make it
difficult to fund this principle in some years.
• The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accountin�
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State Auditor
under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.0920, and in compliance with
generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation-Fund Accountin�
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is considered a
separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double-entry accounts that
comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's
resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose. The
following are the fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
9
Governmental Fund Ty�es
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local government
operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial flows" measurement
focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance
sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds measure changes in financial position,rather than net
income. They present increases (revenues and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other
�nancing uses) in net current assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane
V alley:
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial resources except
those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular activities of
the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
• #101 - Street Fund
• #103 -Paths &Trails Fund
• #105 -Hotel/Motel Tax Fund
• #120 - CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
• #121 - Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
• #122 - Winter Weather Reserve Fund
• #123 - Civic Facilities Replacement Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt. Debt Service
Funds are comprised of the #204 -Debt Service LTGO 03 Fund.
4. Ca�ital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or construction of
general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
• #301 - Capital Project Fund
• #302 - Special Capital Projects Fund
• #303 - Streets Capital Projects Fund
• #304 -Mirabeau Point Project Fund
• #307 - Capital Grants Fund
• #309 -Parks Capital Proj ects Fund
• #310 - Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
• #311 -Pavement Preservation Fund
• #312—Sullivan Street Bridge Fund
• #313 —City Hall Fund
• #314—Park Development Fund
• #315 —Capital Reserve Fund
Proprietary Fund Ty�es
A �fth type of fund classification are the Proprietary Funds that are used to account for activities similar
to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of
providing services based on the commercial model which uses a flow of economic resources approach.
Under this approach, the operating statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net
income (revenues and expenses) and both current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on
10
related balance sheets. Their reported fund equiry (total net assets) is segregated into restricted,
unrestricted and invested in capital assets classifications. As described below, there are two generic fund
types in this category:
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public and are
supported primarily by user charges. Included in this type of fund is:
• #402— Stormwater Management Fund
• #403 —Aquifer Protection Area Fund
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments or funds of the
City. Included in this type of fund is:
#501 -Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
#502 -Risk Management Fund
Basis of Accountin�
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in the accounting
system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
• Modi�ed Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the
current period.
• Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise and internal service funds. Under this system
revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when cash is either received
or disbursed.
Bud�ets and Bud�etarv Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a modified
cash basis of accounting for budget purposes, and Proprietary Funds utilizing a working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures and annual
appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund
• Propert.�
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the City to a
$3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of$1.50 by the Spokane County
Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting $0.50 for the Library District, which leaves the City with
the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance
by November 30th prior to the levy year.
• Retail Sales and Use Tax
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
Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax.
The allocation of the 8.7%tax rate to the agencies is as follows:
11
State of Washington 6.50%
City of Spokane Valley 0.85%
Spokane County 015%
Spokane Public Facilities District 010% *
Criminal Justice 010% *
Public Safety 010% * 2.20%localtax
Juvenile Jail 010% *
Mental Health 010% *
Law Enforcement Communications 010% *
Spokane Transit Alrthority 0.60% *
8.70%
*Indicates voter approved sales taxes.
• Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes, such as the
City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail sales transacted in the
County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with
the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and cities within the County.
• Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety
purposes. This .1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the total amount 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.
• Gamblin..�
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling.
Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any general
government purpose.
Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and
October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5%
gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross, less priaes); Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (10%
gross).
• Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's share).
• Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This is a fee levied
on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public properties.
• State-Shared Revenues
State-shared revenues are received from liquor sales, and motor vehicle excise taxes. These taxes are
collected by the State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State-
shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues
are distributed in the same month of the quarter. The 2012 population figure used in the 2013 Budget is
90,550 as reported by the Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1, 2012. This
�gure is important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
12
• Service Revenues
Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Spokane Valley. Most of the fees in the General
Fund are construction inspections and permits related to services such as planning, zoning and building.
• Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous rule
infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State, with the City, on average, retaining
less than 50% of the amount collected.
• Recreation Pro�ram Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset
direct costs related to providing the program.
• CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include regional
meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms, the great room and
dining rooms.
• Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior to the
distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax( a,g s tax�
The State of Washington collects a $3750 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump and remits
$.0296 of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2013 the Municipal Research and Services
Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be $20.64 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane
Valley population of 90,550 (per the Washington State Of�ce of Financial Management on April 1, 2012)
we anticipate the City will collect $1,868,900 in 2013. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that .42% of this tax
must be expended for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2013 revenue estimate this computes
to $7,800. The balance or $1,861,100 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street maintenance and
operations.
• Tele�hone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with collections
beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the City monthly.
Telephone tax has been estimated at$2.9 million for 2013.
Paths & Trails Fund
Cities are required to spend .42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails. Because the
amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State distributions for several
years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel/Motel Tax Fund
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 6728.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at hotels,
motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of
less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax, so that the total tax
that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hoteUmotel tax combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the
jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for
13
the acquisition and/or operation of tourism-related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $460,000 in
2013.
Debt Service Fund—LTGO 03:
The City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation bonds (LTGO)in 2003. Of this total:
• $7,000,000 of the proceeds was used to finance the construction of CenterPlace at Mirabeau Point. These
bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual
debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District.
• $2,430,000 of the proceeds was used to finance Road and Street Improvements near CenterPlace. These
bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual
debt service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions from the ls` and 2"d quarter
percent real estate excise tax.
Canital Proiects Fund
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise taY on each sale of
real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue generated is used for
financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
Special Capital Proiects Fund
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise tax on each
sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The revenue generated is
used for financing public works capital projects as speci�ed in the capital facilities plan under the Growth
Management Act.
Stormwater Mana�ement Fund:
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual charge of$21
for each single family unit and $21 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for all other properties. These
charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service facilities. These fees are estimated to
generate $1,800,000 in 2013.
Aquifer Protection Area Fund:
These are voter approved fees to assist the City in protecting the aquifer. The City expects to receive
$500,000 in 2013.
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund transfer. These
transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund for another or a concentration
of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following interfund transfers are planned for 2013:

Hi�hli�hts of Other Funds
Revenues
• Motor vehicle fuel tax(MVFT)revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City is estimated
to be $1,868,900 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal Research and Services
17
Center. Of this amount, $1,861,100 will be credited to the Street O&M Fund and .42% or$7,800 to the
Paths and Trails Fund.
• Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and maintenance are
anticipated at$2,900,000.
• Real estate excise tax(REET)revenue is computed by the City and is primarily used to match grant
funded street projects as well as pay a portion of the annual payment on the 2003 general obligation
bonds. In 2013 we estimate these revenues to be $500,000 per each'/4% for a total of$1,000,000.
• HoteUMotel t�revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of visitors and
tourism. In 2013 we estimate the 6%tax will generate $460,000.
• The Stomwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit(ERU)that is equal to 3,160
square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of$21 per single family residence and $21 per
ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is computed as total square feet of
impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2013 we estimate this will fee will generate $1,800,000.
• The Aquifer Protection Area Fund is expected to generate $500,000 in fees that are collected on the City's
behalf by Spokane County and remitted in two installments during the year.
Ex�enditures
• Fund#101-Street Fund includes an appropriation of$180,000 to construct a truck wash facility that will
be used to clean de-icer from snow plows throughout the winter season. Although this represents a
relatively expensive initial outlay of money, the simple act of spraying off the trucks should extend their
lives due to the corrosive nature of the de-icer itself.
• Fund#301-Capital Projects Fund includes an appropriation of$150,000 that represents a transfer to Fund
#3ll-Pavement Preservation Fund for pavement preservation projects.
• Fund#302-Special Capital Projects Fund includes appropriation of$150,000 that represents a transfer to
Fund#311-Pavement Preservation Fund for pavement preservation projects.
• Fund#402-Stormwater Fund includes $417,000 for capital expenditures including:
o a$267,000 for the Sullivan Bridge Drain Retrofit project,which will be in part financed through a
$200,000 Department of Ecology grant.
o $150,000 for assorted stormwater projects.
• Fund#403-Aqifer Protection Area Fund includes $500,000 for capital expenditures including:
o $200,000 for a 14th Avenue-Custer to Carnahan project.
o $210,000 for a Bettman-Dickey Storm drain project.
o $90,000 for assorted aquifer protection projects.
• Fund#501-Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund includes $300,000 for vehicle replacements
including:
o $50,000 to replace two 2003 S 10 Chevy pickups with perhaps a smaller SUV. An SUV type vehicle
is preferred because gear can more easily be safely stored in the back and not be subj ected to weather
conditions.
o $250,000 to purchase a 9th snow plow.
o In each case, money has been set aside over the years with the intended purpose of replacing or
acquiring vehicles.

the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2013 the Municipal Research and Services Center

Fund: 204 Limited Tax General Obligation - Debt Service Fund Spokane Valley
Dept: 204 2013 Budget
204 - Limited Tax General Obliqation (LTGO) - Debt Service Fund
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of
the 2003 nonvoted (LTGO) bonds issued by the City to construct the CenterPlace
facility. These are limited tax general obligation bonds and as such, the full faith,
credit and resources of the City have been irrevocably pledged for the timely payment
of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations pertaining
to non-voted general obligations.
The 2003 LTGO Bonds are 30-year bonds and are due to be paid-off in annual
installments running through 2033. Annual debt service payments are financed
through two sources:
1) Money received from the Spokane County Public Facilities District
2) A portion of the first and second 1/4% real estate excise tax (REET) that is
transferred into this fund from City of Spokane Valley fund number 301 and 302.

Fund: 301 Capital Projects & Special Capital Projects Funds Spokane Valley
Dept: 301 2013 Budget
301/302-Capital Proiects & Special Capital Proiects Funds
These funds account for the collection and expenditure of the real estate excise tax levied
on all sales of real estate. The tax is levied in two phases, of a quarter of a percent each.
The first quarter percent of the real estate excise tax(REET 1) must be spent on capital
improvements identified in a capital improvements plan. This REET 1 tax is accounted for in
the Capital Projects Fund 301.
The second quarter percent (REET 2) may only be levied by cities that are planning under
the Growth Management Act. These funds must be used for a capital project.
The REET 2 tax is accounted for in the Special Capital Projects Fund 302.
Revenues accumulated in these funds will be used as matching funds for construction
projects and will be transferred to other Capital Project Funds.

Fund:403 Aquifer Protection Area SpokaneValley
Dept: 403 2013 Budget
403 -Aquifer Protection Area
The Aquifer Protection Area Fund was created in 2011 to account for aquifer protection area fees
collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City. Historically, Spokane County has collected
the fee from local residents and expended the proceeds on projects in Spokane Valley. By mutual
agreement, beginning in 2011 all monies collected by the County are now remitted to the City for
use in City directed projects that will protect the aquifer.
We estimate the fees will generate annual revenue of approximately$500,000. Neither the 2011
or 2012 City Budgets have appropriated any of the annual revenues or fund balance for projects.
When appropriate projects are identified in 2012, the budget will be amended to accommodate
the expected expenditures.

The Parties intend that the Joint Site Development Plan shall include building footprints,
parking, curb cuts, sidewalks, storm water management, access including reciprocal access and
parking easements if any, and any other matters that the Parties deem desirable to be included as
� part of such Joint Site Development Plan. The Library District-anticipates that its needs will

Interlocal Agreement for Acquisition of Real Estate Page 3 of 10
Discussion Draft 9/4/12
A. A minimum of a�30,000 square foot building on�eone floor� r^*r° ^ri'� ^�
�e, that will serve as a destination facilitv with�ro�rammin�intended to draw
partici�ants from the S�okane Countv re_�ion.-
B. , "The exterior building image should
provide a sense that this building is a library and an important civic and community
building. This can be accomplished by using timeless, qualiry materials like brick, stone,
concrete and composite metal panels to name a few."
C. Site Requirements:
• Building footprint a minimum of�^��;'�'� „�, +^ 30,000 square feet.
�;ao „���,o �.,,;�a;,,,.
• Vehicular access required for rear service entrance.

� public library, , with a 100 seat
meeting room.

Fundamental to the understanding between the Parties hereto is that as of the date hereof, neither
Party is in a position to know precisely how the Property should be divided such that the
resulting two parcels will maximize the use and benefit to each Party of the Properry for the
Parties' respective needs to the extent allowed by law. To that end, the Parties agree that as of the
date hereof, � " "
, the number of square of feet and
the precise location of the boundary line to be created cannot be known until completion of the
Joint Site Development Plan. The Parties therefore agree to cooperate in good faith with each
� other to arrive at a mutually satisfactory arrangement for dividin_�the�ro�ertv as reflected in the
Joint Site Development Plan. Any engineering or other consulting fees incurred in this process
shall be split equally.
Interlocal Agreement for Acquisition of Real Estate Page 5 of 10
Discussion Draft 9/4/12
Allocation of costs for a traffic study that addresses impacts of anticipated development is�
�e the subject of a separate Memorandum of Understanding between the Parties. Based upon the
traffic studv, the Parties have identified certain ri�ht-of-wav im�rovements or site-wide
im�rovements (collectivelv referred to as "fronta_ge im�rovements) that are necessarv for the
res�ective�ro�osed�rojects. The Parties a�ree to s�lit the fronta_�e im�rovements currentlX
identified in the traffic studv on an ec�ual basis. The fronta_ge im�rovements currentiv identified
are set forth in Exhibit B, attached hereto.
Allocation of additional costs for any other fronta�eri�'��improvements ^r �*'�°r °;*°
that are necessitated bv or otherwise ���+� �'��" '�� determined as part of the
Joint Site Development Plan will be as a_re� ed bv the Parties within 30 davs of com�letion of the
Joint Site Develo�ment Plan.;_�The Parties will negotiate the allocation of anv such
additional fronta_�e im�rovement costs in good faith.
7. Pronertv Adiustment. If, as a result of the Joint Site Development Plan process the
Library District determines that it needs more than 2.5 acres, then the City agrees that it will sell
to the Library District at the original per square foot Purchase Price up to one additional acre of
the Property. Payment to the Ciry by the Library District of any additional property in excess of
the origina12.5 acres shall be made on or before recording of the Deed described in Section 8
below. Any costs incurred for the boundary line adjustment process, and any surveying fees and
fees for preparation and recording of the Deed shall be paid for by the Library District. Any
legal fees incurred by the Parties shall be the separate responsibility of each.
8. Deed to Librarv District. Within 30 days after completion of the Joint Site
Development Plan, the Parties will cooperate to initiate the process to adjust the boundary line as
agreed in the Joint Site Development Plan through a boundary line adjustment. Within 10 days
Interlocal Agreement for Acquisition of Real Estate Page 6 of 10
Discussion Draft 9/4/12
of the completion of the boundary line adjustment, the City will convey to the Library District by
deed that portion of the Property designated for the Library District on the Joint Site
Development Plan to the Library District.
9. Failure of Joint Site Develonment Plan. In the event that, despite their good faith best
efforts, the Parties are unable to agree on a Joint Site Development Plan as described above, and
absent an agreement between the Parties to extend the deadline for developing such Joint Site
Development Plan, then City shall, within 60 days after the final deadline for developing the
Joint Site Development Plan, reimburse the Library District the full amount of that portion of the
Purchase Price together with the pro-rata share of any survey, title, recording, closing, and phase
I environmental audit costs paid by the Library District and from that�oint in time this
a�reement would be considered void. Each Partv shall�av one-half of the costs of the Joint Site
Develo�ment Plan if the�roject does not �o forward, either due to failure to a�ree on a Joint Site
Develo�ment Plan or because the District does not�ass its bond as set forth in Section 10.
10. Re-Purchase bv Citv. In order to construct a library building and ancillary
improvements on the portion of the Property acquired by the Library District, it is anticipated
that the Library District will need to secure voter approval of a District-wide bond levy covering
this and other projects. Without voter approval of such bond, the Library District will not be in a
position to develop its portion of the Property. The Parties agree that in the event that the
Library District has not, within five years following the Closing, secured voter approval of a
construction bond for the library building and ancillary improvements in such amount as shall be
determined necessary by the Library District, that thereafter the Library District shall reconvey
all of the Property back to the City at the same price paid by the Library District to the Ciry.
Such payment shall be paid all in cash. The Library District, in such event, shall convey title to
Interlocal Agreement for Acquisition of Real Estate Page 7 of 10
Discussion Draft 9/4/12
the City with the same type of instrument as it received the Property from the City, and from that
boint in time this a�reement would be considered void. In the event the construction bond is
approved, the Librarv District shall commence construction within one vear of the date of voter
approval of the construction bond.
11. Maintenance Costs. The City agrees to maintain the Property, including that portion
deeded to the Library District, until such time as the Library District shall begin development of
its property. Maintenance is anticipated to include weed control and trash removal, and the
Library District agrees to reimburse the City on an annual basis its proportionate share of such
costs. The District and Citv shall ne�otiate in �ood faith the allocation of maintenance costs for
the external librar��rounds both durin_�the�eriod of construction of the librarv facilitv, as well
as maintenance costs once the facilitv is constructed.
12. Use of Pronertv. The City agrees that its portion of the Property will be dedicated to
public use and will not be sold to any third party. The Library District agrees that its portion of
the Property will be developed into a public library faciliry provided that funding for such project
is secured as provided above in Section 10.
The Citv, at its ex�ense, will be allowed to use the entire site for civic�ur�oses until the District
provides the Citv with a notice that the District will commence construction activities in 30 davs.
The Citv agrees to hold harmless and indemnifv the District from and a�ainst all claims, causes
of action, and dama�es arisin� out of the Citv's use of the Pro�ertv for anv such civic�ur�oses.
13. Bindin� Effect. This Agreement shall be binding upon and inure to the benefit of the
Parties hereto and their respective heirs,personal representatives, legal representative, agents,
attorneys, successors and assigns.

paragraph.

Agreement shall not operate as or be considered to be a waiver by such Party of any other

� information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Valley Corridor Environmental Assessment Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: The City inherited the Valley Corridor Project from Spokane County shortly
after incorporation. The project envisioned extending the Sprague/Appleway One-Way Couplet
from University Road east to Evergreen Road. Spokane County received $300,000 in federal
grants to prepare an Environmental Assessment to justify the construction of a new principal
arterial (Appleway Avenue). This justification is developed by identifying the specific purpose
and need for the project through a public involvement process and an alternatives evaluation
process.
Since incorporation the Valley Corridor Project has taken many different directions. Attached is
a summary of key activities and dates.
Staff has been working on creating a final Environmental Assessment document that
encompasses all the work on this corridor over the last nine years and the most recent final
decision that a `No Build' scenario is the locally preferred alternative. A draft document has
been submitted to WSDOT for their review and for review by FHWA
The City has until September 30th to complete and have approved the Final Environmental
Assessment for the Valley Corridor Project to avoid having to pay $300,000 in federal funds
back to FHWA.
OPTIONS: Information only.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information only.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City may be required to pay back approximately
$300,000 in federal funds if an approved Environmental Assessment document is not approved
by September 30, 2012.
STAFF CONTACT: Steve M. Worley, P.E. — Senior Capital Projects Engineer

May 17, 2002— Draft EA prepared by Jones & Stokes for Spokane County for the extension
of the couplet to Sullivan Road
March 31, 2003—Spokane Valley incorporated
October 18, 2004—Spokane County received supplemental funding bringing the total
federal share to $300,000
May 31, 2005— Lead Agency over these federal grant funds changed to Spokane Valley
($53,725 in federal funds remaining to be spent)
June 29, 2005— Entered agreement w/CH2M HILL for Transportation Discipline Report
September 7, 2005— Public Open House on Valley Corridor Alternatives
December 2005—Community Development Department issued RFP for Sprague/Appleway
subarea plan
May 2006—Consultant hired to develop subarea plan for Sprague and Appleway (land use,
zoning, transportation, etc.)
June 2009—Adoption of Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan
January 2010—FHWA/WSDOT notification federal funding exceeding 10-year time frame to
complete. Options: 1) repay$300,000 in federal funds 2) request extension of time to
complete EA, or 3) ask for forgiveness of repayment of federal funds.
February 2010—City requested forgiveness of federal funds.
June 2010- FHWA denied forgiveness request.
August 2010—City requested extension of time to complete EA
September 2010— FHWA accepts time extension to complete EA to September 30, 2012
Spring 2011—City Council eliminated the SARP from the Comprehensive Plan
Summary—As a result of the elimination of the SARP, the final "Locally Preferred
Alternative" is to not extend Appleway for lack of"Purpose" and "Need". A final EA with
this summary could be prepared and may eliminate the need to repay the federal funds.

Memorandum
To: City Council Members; Mike Jackson, City Manager
From: Michael D. Stone, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation
Date: September 7, 2012
Re: Car Show Update
Last October staff provided the City Council a presentation on car shows in Parks. The
presentation focused on the responsibilities of the Parks and Recreation Department in
managing our park facilities for the use, enjoyment and safety of the public. This
presentation was in response to recent concerns expressed by the car show operators
that they were not welcome in our parks. Communication and misunderstandings
seemed to be the primary reasons for the reduction of car shows within our Parks. The
Parks and Recreation Department encourages car shows as we do any other event.
Car Shows are permitted at Mirabeau Meadows. Current policy indicates that up to four
car shows per year will be allowed. Because of ongoing turf, soil and drainage issues,
car parking on the turf is restricted in some areas.
After the presentation, staff contacted representatives of the car shows to meet and
discuss their concerns and what the City could do to encourage future use of Mirabeau
Park for car shows. The meetings went very well and communication channels were
opened. We also discussed concerns from the past which resulted in a better overall
understanding on both sides of the issues and challenges with car shows. We listened
to the car show representatives and as a result changes have been made in the use of
Mirabeau Meadows for car shows.
Unfortunately, staff has only worked with two car shows for this year. The HASSIE Car
Club will host their annual car show at Mirabeau Meadows this Saturday, September
8tn We have a good working rapport with HASSIE and we look forward to that same
relationship with other car shows in the future. The other car show will be a part of
Valleyfest. Our challenge is getting the car shows to meet with us and let us show them
how the changes made will have a positive affect on their future events.
If you have any questions or need additional information please let me know. Thank
you.
