Budget Message
t
Annual Budget for Fiscal Year 2004
Dear Mayor, City Councilmembers and Citizens of Spokane Valley:
I am pleased to introduce the budget document for Fiscal Year 2004, which will be this
City's first full year in operation. The budget is a product of the combined efforts of the
City Council, staff, and citizens to identify and address the service needs of the
community and provide funding to meet those needs as best we can within the available
resources. The City Council has established specific goals and policy initiatives for
implementation in the coming year and the proposed budget allocates resources in a
manner that accomplishes City Council objectives on behalf of Spokane Valley residents.
The Current Year in Review
In this first budget message from me as city manager, I will forego the temptation to
describe in detail the many accomplishments that resulted from the hard work of your
elected officials and the new staff that have come together to fully launch this new
venture in self-government. Instead of a description of recent successes, I believe that
sharing with the community the Statement of Core Beliefs adopted by the City Council
will be far more informative about how this organization aims to serve the residents of
Spokane Valley. It is said that you can not get to where you want to be, unless you know
your destination_ In fast months in the life of the new City, much attention has been
given to laying the foundation of core beliefs,philosophy, and customer service
orientation upon which city services will be provided in the long term. I am pleased to
share with the citizens of Spokane Valley the beliefs that so profoundly guide the nature
and conduct of city government and create the vision for self-government the City
Council believes will fulfill the purposes of incorporation.
STATEMENT OF CORE BELIEFS
WHEREAS,the City Council desires to provide a clear set of general policy guidelines
for the conduct of city government;
NOW, Tl ,REFORE,the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley does hereby
affirm and resolve that the following core beliefs shall serve as guidelines for the conduct
of affairs by all branches of Spokane Valley City Government.
• We believe that Spokane Valley should be a visionary city encouraging its citizens and
their government to look to the future beyond the present generation and to bring such
ideas to public discussion and to enhance a sense of community identity.
We believe that the elected body decision making is the only lawful and effective way to
conduct the public's legislative business and that careful observance of a clear set of
2
Governance Coordination rules of procedure can best enhance public participation and
decision making.
We believe in the City Council as policy leaders of the City. One or more City
Councilmembers are encouraged to take the lead, where practical, in sponsoring
Ordinances or Resolutions excepting quasi.judicial or other public hearings and the
statutory duties of the City Manager as set forth in RCW 35A.13.020.
We believe in hearing the public view. We affirm that members of the public should be
encouraged to speak and be beard through reasonable rules of procedure when the public
business is being considered thus giving elected officials the broadest perspectives from
which to make decisions.
We believe that the City of Spokane Valley's governance should be known as "user
friendly," and that governance practices and general operations should consider how
citizens will be served in the most responsive, elective and courteous manner.
We believe that the economic and commercial job base of the community should be
preserved and encouraged to grow as an alternative to increasing property taxes. We
believe it imperative to have an expanded and diverse economic base.
We solicit the City Manager's support in conducting the affairs of the City with due
regard for:
Promoting mutual respect between the Citizens, City staff and the City council by
creating the organizational team work necessary for effective, responsive and open
government.
Providing the City Council and public reasonable advance notice when issues are to be
brought forward for discussion.
Establishing and maintaining a formal city-wide customer service program with
emphasis on timely response, a user-friendly atmosphere, and an attitude of facilitation
and accommodation within the bounds of responsibility, integrity, and financial
capability of the City, including organizational and job description documents while
pursuing"best practices" in customer service.
Seeking creative ways to contain or impede the rising cost of governmental services,
including examination of private sector alternatives in lieu of governmentally provided
services.
Providing a database of future projects and dreams for the new City of Spokane
Valley so that good ideas from its citizens and leaders are not lost and the status of
projects can be readily determined.
3
The Coming Fiscal Year -
The City Council sets priority goals for achievement each year. The goals they establish
represent just those areas of concern or opportunity that the staff will concentrate on in
addition to their various everyday responsibilities. The six (6) specific focus areas the
City Council has directed staff attention to in 2004 are:
Experiment with a Managed Competition Program designed to identify alternative
Service providers at more economical rates than accorded by current service providers.
Initiate the Development of Spokane Valley's First Comprehensive Plan which will
create the City's long-term vision and link transportation system improvements to land
use goals in support of that vision.
Continuously Improve Overall Communication between government and its citizens,
between staff and Council, among star', and between Councilmembers.
Develop a Five-Year Strategic Financial Plan that forecasts revenues and expenses as
well as identifies funding and financial challenges and options.
Develop and Strengthen External Relations to advance the interest of Spokane Valley
through interaction and advocacy with neighboring jurisdictions, the state legislature,
funding boards and commissions, the congressional delegation and statewide and national
municipal organizations.
Develop an Approach for Long-Term Wastewater Services including the evaluation
of a regional system option.
In closing, l would like to thank the Mayor and City Council and all of the individual
staff members who have worked so hard moving the City forward. You have given
generously of your time and energy during this start-up year filled with learning,tough
decisions, hard work and an incredible sense of accomplishment. Your diligence helps
brighten the future of our new City. Thanks also for the patience shown and feedback
given by many citizens who have demonstrated their interest in the activities the new City
has undertaken to improve the quality of life in Spokane Valley.
Respectfully submitted,
David Mercier
City Manager

TO: David Mercier, City Manager and Members of Council
FROM: Ken Thompson, Finance &Administrative Services Director
DATE: October 21, 2003
SUBJECT: About the Budget and the Budget 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 provides four functions:
1. A Policy 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. An Operational 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. 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. A Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial 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
5
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.
Year 2004 Budget Process
The City of Spokane Valley operates on a calendar year basis. It utilizes an incremental
budgeting approach that assumes, for most functions of government, that the current
year's budget is indicative of the base required for the following year. Any increases are
incremental and based on need defined by the organization's budget policies, emerging
issues, Council goals, and available resources.
This incremental process recognizes that most mandated functions will not likely change
from year to year, but 2004 is different. 2003 was the City's start-up year, and its budget
wasn't set up with an eye to ongoing operation. Therefore, the major emphasis for 2004
is to provide the foundation upon which future budgets will be based. It is focused
around Council priorities and requested increases in funding.
The formal budget planning begins in the Spring with discussions between the City
Manager and City Council during a mid-year retreat. Following the retreat, the City
Manager and the Department Directors prepare the preliminary budget based upon the
City Council priorities. The City Council reviews the preliminary budget beginning in
October.
In August, departments prepare requests for new staff; programs, or significant increases
to their current year budget that will address emerging issues and other operational needs.
In their requests, the departments identify the problem that they are trying to address, the
recommended solution, implementation plan, projected cost and expected outcomes. The
Finance Department and City Manager conduct an analysis of the departmental base
budgets and the revenue outlook for the coming year to determine the availability of
funds for any new initiatives. During August and September, the departments also
develop their base budgets. These budget requests are submitted to the Finance
Department by the middle of September.
In late September, the City Manager reviews each department's budget requests and
develops a preliminary budget recommendation.
As mandated by RCW 35A.33.135, the first requirement is that the City Manager submit
estimated revenues and expenditures to the City Council on or before the first Monday in
October. The preliminary budget is presented to the City Council in late October or early
November. Public hearings are held to obtain taxpayers' comments, and revisions as
applicable, are made. The Council makes its adjustments to the preliminary budget and
adopts by ordinance a final balanced budget no later than December 31. The final
operating budget as adopted is published, distributed, and made available to the public
during the first three months of the following year.
6
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 funds are used as intended. Finance provides
financial updates to the City Council to keep them current with the City's financial
condition. 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 approved by
one more than the majority after holding one public hearing.
7
City of Spokane Valley
Selected Budget Policies
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.
lnterfund charges will be based on recovery of the direct costs associated with
providing those services.
Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval will occur through the
ordinance process at the fund level coordinated by the Finance Department and
will occur prior to fiscal year end.
The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services
plan in a Council/constituent-friendly format.
A balance of 8% to 15% of revenues is the goal for the General Fund fund
balance, except in start-up years when this level is impractical. It is expected to
take up to seven years to attain this targeted fund balance. All draws on the
General Fund balance may be used only for one time capital expenditures, not
operating costs. A contingency fund of 1.5% of General Fund revenues is set
aside to take proper steps toward at least attaining this target.
At full stabilization in the eighth year, 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 maintain equipment replacement funds that will receive annually
budgeted contributions from the operating expenses of departments owning the
capital equipment 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.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accountin g
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed
by the State Auditor under the authority of Washington State law, Chapter 43.09.20
RCW, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by
the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
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:
Governmental Fund Types
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 financing uses) in net current assets. There are
four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
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.
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 the
Street Fund, Arterial Street Fund, Trails & Paths Fund, and Hotel/Motel Fund.
Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of
debt. Debt Service funds are comprised of the Limited Tax General Obligation Fund.
Capital 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 the
Capital Project Fund, Special Capital Projects Fund and the Streets Capital Projects
Fund.
9
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds 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, including depreciation, which based on the commercial model
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 related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (net total assets) is
segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. As described
below,there are two generic fund types in this category:
Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the genera]
public and are supported primarily by user charges. The Stormwater Management
Fund is included in this group of funds.
Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other
departments or funds of the City. The Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund and
Risk Management Fund are included in this group of funds.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. The City of Spokane Valley uses
a modified accrual basis of accounting. Modified accrual recognizes revenues when
they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current
period. The basis of accounting for enterprise and internal service funds is full
accrual. The appropriate basis is used throughout the budgeting, accounting, and
reporting processes. Full accrual is a method of accounting that matches revenues
and expenses with the period to which they relate, rather than focusing on actual
cash flows.
In this method, for example, an asset is depreciated as it is "used up", and the
expense is recognized in periodic increments, rather tan assuming the asset holds
its value until it is actually disposed of. However, since the focus of budgeting is on
the revenues and expenditure accounts, depreciation and amortization are not
considered budgetary accounts, and are excluded from the budgeting system.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds. These funds are budgeted on
the modified cash basis of accounting. The financial statements include budgetary
comparisons for those funds.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for
expenditures. Annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the fiscal period end.

EXPLANATION OF REVENUE SOURCES
GENERAL FUND REVENUES:
Pr•:___2psth,Tax Revenue
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, #8 and #9, which leaves the City with the authority to levy
$2.10 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November
15th prior to the levy year.
Local Retail Sales and Use Tax
The local retail sales and use tax is comprised of two separate .5% options with the County
receiving 15% of each .5%. After deducting .01% as a County administrative fee, the City's
effective rate is .84%.
Local 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% to the County,
with the remainder being distributed by population to the cities and the unincorporated areas of
the County.
Gambling Tax Revenues
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 prizes); Games (2% gross, less
prizes); Punch Boards (5% gross); Pull Tabs (5% gross); 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 for liquor receipts, and motor vehicle excise taxes including
travel trailer and camper excise tax. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and
11
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 i
month of the quarter.
The 2003 population figure used in the 2004 Preliminary Budget is 82,005 as determined by the
Office of Financial Management for Washington State. This figure is important when
determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
Liquor Board Profits and Liquor Excise Tax
Cities receive a share of both liquor board profits and liquor excise tax receipts. The profits are
distributed on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The excise portion is
distributed on the last day of January, April, July, and October. To be eligible to receive these
revenues, a city must devote at least two percent of the distribution to support an approved
alcoholism or drug addiction program.
Service Revenues
Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Spokane Valley. Most of the fees in the
General Fund are protective 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 and the City, on average,
keeps only 50% of the amount collected. (_
Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees
offset some of the costs related to providing the program.
Investment Interest
The City makes investment interest on sales tax, property tax, and fund investments.
OTHER FUND REVENUES:
STREET FUND:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
There are two separate distributions to cities of revenues from this tax. Cities with a population
of 15,000 and above are required to account for the per capita share of the unrestricted gas tax as
a source to finance street maintenance. Cities in this population group are also required to
account for the per capita share of the restricted gas tax to be used for arterial street construction.
Both distributions must be accounted for in separate funds, the Street Fund receives the
unrestricted portion of the gas tax, while the restricted portion goes to the Arterial Street Fund.
The City's allocation for the gas tax for 2004 is $14.13 per capita.
l
12
ARTERIAL STREET FUND:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
This fund receives its tax revenue from the restricted portion of the gas tax. This Fund is to
provide capital project funding as well as major maintenance functions on arterial streets. The
City's allocation for the gas tax for 2004 is $6.61 per capita.
TRAILS &PATH FUND:
A small percentage of the City's gas tax must be set aside for trails and paths. This money will
likely accumulate for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
HOTEL/MOTEL FUND:
This fund receives all revenue resulting from the Hotel/Motel Tax levied upon charges made for
the furnishing of lodging by a hotel, rooming house, tourist court, motel, trailer camp and other
transient accommodations in the City. The tax rate is 2 percent of the selling price or charge
made for the lodging. It is collected and administered by the Washington State Department of
Revenue. State law requires that these taxes be credited to a special fund with limitations on use,
principally to support tourism/convention activities and related facilities, as prescribed by RCW
67.28.310.
DEBT SERVICE FUND—LTGO 03:
The Public Facilities District will provide funding for the debt service on CenterPlace Bonds.
The City's Capital Projects and Special Capital Projects Funds will provide funding for the debt
service on street bonds.
CAPITAL PROJECTS FUND:
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an 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 be used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities
plan under the Growth Management Act.
SPECIAL CAPITAL PROJECTS 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 be used for financing public works capital projects as specified
in the capital facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
13
INTERFUND TRANSFERS:
Many funds receive their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund transfer. These
transfers may represent payments for service, an operating transfer, or a concentration of
revenues for a specific project. The following funds receive transfers from other funds.
Street Capital Projects Fund is budgeted to receive transfers from Arterial Streets,
$600,000, and Special Capital Projects, $200,000, for Transportation Improvement Board
grant matching funds. Bond sale proceeds in 2003 in the amount of$2,430,000 will also
be used in this fund on street projects.
Equipment Rental & Replacement is budgeted to receive transfers from the General fund
for interfund charges in the total amount of$131,634.
Risk Management Fund is budgeted to receive $137,500 from the General Fund for
employment security payments and City insurance premiums.
STORMWATER MANAGEMENT FEE:
This fee is imposed upon every developed parcel of property within the City and is an annual
charge of $10.00 for each single family unit and $10.00 per 3,160 square feet of impervious
surface for all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers or
service facilities. These fees are estimated to be $747,500 for 2004.

COMMUNITY PROFILE AND HISTORY
"You cannot look to the future if you do not know the past. "
On May 21, 2002, voters within the City approved incorporation of the City of Spokane
Valley, which is the second largest city in the County and the eighth largest city in the
State, with approximately 82,005 residents. The City incorporated as of March 31, 2003.
The assessed valuation of real property within the boundaries of the City for taxation
purposes is estimated for 2004 tax collection to be approximately$4,600,000,000, which
does not yet include valuation for personal property, utility and railroad property in the
boundaries of the City. Spokane Valley encompasses approximately 38.2 square miles of
land area It has an extensive retail tax base and is home to several major auto
dealerships and the Spokane Valley Mall, which includes over 700,000 square feet of
gross leasable floor area. There are an estimated 5,000 businesses in Spokane Valley
with estimated retail sales of$1.5 billion and an assessed value of$4.6 billion.
The first permanent settler in the Spokane Valley was Antoine Plante, a retired French-
Canadian trapper. Mr. Plante built a cabin near the Spokane River in 1849, from which
he operated a small Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Other settlers began arriving
in this area between 1865 and 1882. "Firsts"to occur in Spokane Valley include the first
settler in 1849, first business and ferry in 1850, the first store and bridge in 1862,the first
house in 1866, and the first post office in 1867. All of these"firsts" occurred before the
arrival in 1873 of James Glover who was considered the"Father of Spokane."
In 1883, the Northern Pacific Railroad opened the west up with the transcontinental
railroad. The new railroad, coupled with the discovery of silver in north Idaho, created
an influx of people to the Spokane Valley area. Within a few years the Spokane area was
connected to the rest of the country by five transcontinental railroads.
The next major innovation to Spokane Valley was the introduction of irrigation to the
area. Within 20 years 30,000 acres of dry land had been converted into fertile farm land.
The first irrigation systems were constructed between 1 899 and 1905. The Valley
population grew from 1,000 residents at the turn of the century to nearly 10,000 by 1922.
During this time apple growing became the predominant agricultural crop with nearly 2
million apple trees being planted by 1912. As the population of the Valley increased,
small communities with churches, schools, businesses, community clubs, and other
organizations thrived.
63
Prior to World War II, the federal government made a decision to build an aluminum
plant in Spokane Valley along the Spokane River. Additionally, the federal government
identified a need for warehouse space and facilities to support coastal activities during the
war. In 1942, Spokane Valley was chosen as a site for one of theses inland Supply
Depots. The Naval Storage Yards are now the Valley Industrial Park that has 5,000,000
square feet of gross leasable floor area.
Rapid growth continued in Spokane Valley throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Along
with this continued growth came concerns regarding the impact of the development on
the Valley environment. Citizens' concerns were related to impacts to lakes in the area as
well as the aquifer underlying a majority of the Spokane Valley. No protections were put
into place to address these issues; sanitary sewers were not required for new construction.
Steady residential and commercial growth continued in the Spokane Valley throughout
the 80s and 90s. High tech companies followed Hewlett Packard into the Liberty Lake
area. Later, some high tech companies moved into the Industrial Park. The State Board
of Health threatened to enact a moratorium on new development in 1983, unless sewering
of the Valley began. In response, Spokane County developed a wastewater management
plan that put into motion construction of a sewer gunk line and a sanitary sewer system
was made available to the citizens of Spokane Valley.
MAJOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND PARKS IN SPOKANE VALLEY
There are public facilities and a number of parks in the City of Spokane Valley. The
Spokane Indians, a minor league baseball team,plays its home games at Avista Stadium,
located just inside the city limits on the east side of Havana Street. This stadium is one of
the finest facilities in the Northwest League and can seat 7,200 spectators. Situated next
door to Avista Stadium is the Spokane County Fair and Exposition Center. The
Fairgrounds was expanded in 2003 with the construction of a new covered grandstand
that was opened at the 2003 Interstate Fair. Various other shows and events are held
throughout the year at the Fairgrounds.
Mirabeau Point, situated on 54.5 acres of land; located between Pines Road and
Evergreen Road interchanges (north of 1-90), along the south bank of the Spokane River,
is the City's newest cultural development currently under construction. It has been
designed as a multiuse community campus that will provide public, educational,
recreational, and cultural activities for its citizens.
CenterPlace, a 48,000 square foot facility, will be built to accommodate a senior center,
education and business center, and a cultural and performing arts center.
Mirabeau Meadows is a 15-acre parcel of land currently under development and will
provide another area for community activities, such as family get-togethers and games,
outdoor music, corporate outings, farmers markets, arts and crafts, and other special
events in Mirabeau Point Park. Valleyfest, an annual community event that is sponsored
by individuals and businesses in our City, will be held on September 20, 2004.

THE FUTURE OF SPOKANE VALLEY
The potential of Spokane Valley is tremendous, with an adequate tax base and room for
expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Spokane Valley rivals other
cities throughout the state in terms of population and significance in the region.
Currently, the City contracts with Spokane County for a number of services including
police protection,parks maintenance, aquatics, streets, and other public works-related
issues.
