AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Solid Waste Transfer and Disposal Options Study
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: At the January 22, 2013 meeting, Council approved
the Memorandum of Understanding with Spokane County and the Spokane Solid Waste System
to conduct a joint Solid Waste Transfer and Disposal Options Study.
BACKGROUND: HDR Engineering has been selected to conduct the study. They have
developed a number of Transfer Station and Disposal Cost Center Descriptions (attachment A)
and a matrix of Transfer and Disposal Options (attachment B) as the basis of the study. (These
are two separate documents and there is no correlation of the numbering between the two).
Staff will review and discuss both attachments with City Council to ensure a basis of
understanding in moving forward with the study. The general concept is to develop the Transfer
Station and Disposal Cost Center Descriptions and the data can be then be applied to a variety
of Options which will be finalized as the study develops.
The study is on a 12 week schedule. HDR will present their findings in a joint meeting with the
City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County Commissioners, the City of Spokane and other
Spokane County cities and towns on August 28, 2013.
The current Interlocal Agreement will terminate on November 16, 2014. Therefore, all entities
involved will face a short timeframe to make a decision. Based on that timeframe, staff will begin
discussing solid waste criteria and options with Council in anticipation of the completed study.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2014 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Process
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None.
BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows local jurisdictions to update
comprehensive plans no more than once each year. The City codified this process in Section
17.80.140 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC).
Comprehensive Plan Amendments are divided into two categories - map amendments and text
amendments (including charts, tables and graphics). Comprehensive Plan amendments may
be privately initiated or proposed by City staff. Most privately initiated amendments deal with
land use changes. The City has not received any privately initiated amendments to date;
however, the deadline for Comprehensive Plan Amendment requests is November 1, 2013.
City initiated text amendments for 2014 include proposed changes to Chapter 2: Land Use;
Chapter 3: Transportation; Chapter 4: Capital Facilities; Chapter 6: Parks and Recreation;
Chapter 7: Economic Development; and Chapter 11: Bike and Pedestrian.
It is critical to update the Transportation and Capital Facilities elements annually due to GMA
requirements for concurrency and for certain funding sources, such as Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET). REET money can only be used for capital projects that are identified in the City's
Comprehensive Plan.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Manufactured Home Park Zoning Owner Survey
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A, RCW 59.20
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council discussed manufactured home park
zoning regulations at the February 26, 2013 Council workshop.
BACKGROUND: Representatives from the Association of Manufactured Home Owners
(AMHO) and manufactured home owners have requested the City Council adopt zoning
regulations that would provide some degree of protection to home owners should the land
owner sell the property underlying their manufactured homes. Council discussed this issue at
the February 26, 2013 workshop.
At the workshop, city staff provided an overview of zoning regulations adopted by the City of
Tumwater that provide some protection to manufactured home owners. These regulations were
challenged in court as being unconstitutional, but the court ruled in favor of the city, thus
upholding the regulations.
After review and discussion, City Council decided that they wanted to hear from manufactured
home park property owners as they consider this issue. To this end, staff has prepared the
following scope of work with target dates to receive feedback that Council desires.
• July 15 - Prepare a cover letter and survey /questionnaire to receive initial input
• August 31 - Follow -up with individual and /or group meetings with property owners
• September 6 - Prepare memo to Council reporting back results from survey and
meetings with property owners
• October 1 - Administrative report to Council
• October 8 - Council to determine if issue will be included on 2014 Comprehensive Plan
Amendment Docket.
The deadline to include the issue on the 2014 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Docket
is November 1, 2013. The proposed schedule allows sufficient time for Council to decide
whether or not to proceed.
OPTIONS: Proceed with property owner outreach or do nothing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council discretion

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Initiative 502 Rule Implementation Timeline
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 69.50 (Initiative 502 has been codified as RCW 69.50)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On March 12, 2013, Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb
presented an update on the enactment of Initiative 502 and the current status of medical
marijuana. No council action was taken at that time. On May 14, 2013, Deputy City Attorney
Lamb presented information regarding the City's regulatory authority over recreational and
medical marijuana. Council determined to wait for additional information before taking any
action. On May 28, 2013, Council was provided with an informational item regarding initial draft
rules for implementing Initiative 502.
BACKGROUND: There are two distinct state regulatory schemes governing marijuana in
Washington: Chapter 69.50 RCW, which codified Initiative 502, governs recreational marijuana
and chapter 69.51A RCW governs medical marijuana.
Under RCW 69.50, citizens can now possess and use recreational marijuana, though there is
currently no legal way to purchase or grow recreational marijuana. Under RCW 69.50, the
Washington State Liquor Control Board ( "LCB ") has been charged with creating licensing rules
and issuing state licenses for and regulating licensed growers, processers and retail sellers.
On June 10, 2013, the LCB released a new timeline for filing its official rules for implementation
of licensing recreational marijuana production, processing, and retail sales.
Pursuant to the LCB release, the new timeline is as follows:
June 19, 2013 Board work session on proposed rules. This has occurred and
public comments are being incorporated into the official draft rules
to be released on July 3, 2013.
July 3, 2013 Board files official draft rules
August 7, 2013 Public hearing on draft rules
August 14, 2013 Board adopts rules
September 14, 2013 Effective date for rules
September 14, 2013 LCB begins accepting applications for all license types.
Previously, the LCB had indicated that rules would not be adopted until December, 2013, with
licenses being processed in the late part of 2013 and early part of 2014.
Finally, please note that these rules, once finally adopted, will only apply to recreational
marijuana. They will not regulate or cover medical marijuana.

Memorandum
TO: City Council
From: Cary Driskell, City Attorney; Tim Murphy, Legal Intern
Date: June 19, 2013
Re: Enforcing, Adopting, and Amending State Building and Energy Codes
Question Presented:
1. Is the City required to adopt and enforce state building and energy codes?
2. May the City amend the state building and energy codes?
Brief Answer:
1. The City is not required to adopt, but must enforce, state building and energy codes.
2. The City has limited authority to amend state building and energy codes under RCW 19.27 and
19.27A. However, a city must still meet the minimum performance standards of the State Building Code
(SBC) and State Energy Code (SEC). For residential building amendments, State Building Code Council
(SBC Council) approval is required. Such approval is not required for amendments to nonresidential
buildings, but the minimum performance standards must still be followed.
Analysis:
1. Is the City required to adopt and enforce state building and energy codes?
SBC and SEC are minimum safety codes, and are drafted by experts as minimum standards to protect the
life, health and safety of the citizens of the state. The SBC and SEC preempt local measures, except
where cities are granted limited discretion to amend code standards to address unique local conditions.
RCW 19.27.031. Cities do not need to formally adopt these codes for them to take effect, as the SBC and
SEC are in effect in all cities regardless of whether they are adopted locally. Id. Once SBC provisions
are enacted by the SBC Council, cities are required to enforce them. RCW 19.27.050. As a result,
though not required, MRSC recommends that cities adopt the SBC. Adopting the SBC helps a city
enforce its provisions because cases can be filed by the city attorney in the local municipal/district court
and fines and revenues go to the city. Additionally, any permissible city amendments to the SBC must be
implemented through a city ordinance. WAC 51 -04 -030.
Failure to enforce the state building and energy codes could subject the City to a lawsuit where a
negatively affected parry could ask the court for an order compelling the City to enforce the law (Writ of
Mandamus). Similarly, the City could be subject to liability due to injuries or diminished property value
resulting from buildings constructed in a manner that violated the state codes. The City would not appear
to have a good defense to either type of suit.
2. May the City amend the state building and energy codes?
Each city is authorized to amend certain parts of the SBC to meet unique local conditions. RCW
19.27.040. Under RCW 19.27.090, the following issues are reserved for local discretion:
Local land use and zoning requirements, building setbacks, side and rear -yard
requirements, site development, property line requirements, snow load requirements,
wind load requirements, and local fire zones.
The SBC sets minimum standards that shall be enforced by cities, even regarding issues reserved for local
discretion. RCW 19.27.040. All local amendments to residential buildings require the SBC Council's
approval. RCW 19.27.074(1)(b). On the other hand, amendments to nonresidential buildings are not
subject to SBC Council approval, so long as they meet or exceed the minimum SBC standards. Local
amendments to residential buildings submitted for approval are evaluated by the SBC Council based on
the following considerations:
(a) Climatic conditions that are unique to the jurisdiction;
(b) Geologic or seismic conditions that are unique to the jurisdiction;
(c) Environmental impacts (e.g. noise and dust) that are unique to the jurisdiction;
(d) Health or safety of conditions that is unique to the jurisdiction; or
(e) Other special conditions that are unique to the jurisdiction.
SEC amendment requirements differ slightly from those of the SBC. For residential buildings, the SEC is
the maximum and minimum energy code in a city, and cannot be amended without SBC Council
approval. RCW 19.27A.025. For nonresidential buildings, the SEC is the minimum energy code in a
city. Id. This requires city amendments to meet or exceed SEC minimum standards and satisfy the
following conditions in RCW 19.27A.025:
(a) Such amendments increase the energy efficiency of typical newly constructed
nonresidential buildings; and
(b) Any new standards, or requirements adopted must be technically feasible,
commercially available, and cost - effective to building owners and tenants.
The adoption and enforcement requirements in the SBC and SEC seek to standardize building codes
throughout the state, but also leave several local issues up to a city's discretion. RCW 19.27.020. These
requirements help consolidate the administration and enforcement of building codes and promote the
health and safety of building users and occupants in Washington. Id.
Conclusion: The City is not required to adopt, but must enforce, the SBC and SEC. The City is given
limited authorization to amend state building and energy codes by RCW 19.27 and 19.27A. Under this
reserved power, a city must still meet the minimum performance standards of the SBC and SEC. The
SBC Council must approve local amendments to the SBC for residential buildings. Such approval is not
required for amendments to nonresidential buildings, but the minimum performance standards must still
be followed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: School Zone Flashing Beacons
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: n/a
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: An informational memo was sent to Council on Feb.
19, 2013 and discussion occurred on April 2 and April 9, 2013 regarding the 2013 call for
funding.
BACKGROUND: On April 25, 2013, City staff submitted applications for the 2013 School Zone
Flashing Beacon /Lighting Project Grant funded by Washington Traffic and Safety Commission
(WTSC) for funding to install flashers for Adams Elementary and McDonald Elementary. On
June 17, 2013, City staff was notified that the City had been awarded $15,000 ($7,500 per
school zone) to install flashing beacons at these locations. There is no local match; however,
the City must cover the installation costs that exceed the WTSC grant. The total project cost in
2011 (the most recent purchase) to install a pair of flashers, or one school zone, is
approximately $14,300 (see Table 1). The cost to the City after the WTSC grant is $6,800 per
school zone.

be purchased using the Washington State Purchasing contract.
Based on the grant criteria, the project cannot begin until July 1, 2013, and it must be completed
by January 1, 2014. The lead time to procure the equipment is approximately eight weeks. It is
anticipated that installation of the flashing beacons will begin in the middle of September and be
completed by the middle of October 2013.

Amendments as presented, a second was made and the motion passed unanimously.
B. New Business: Public Hearing: CTA- 2013 -0004, Amendment to the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code, Amending Sign Regulations.
Commissioner Stoy made a motion to withdraw the Planning Commission's previous
motion "to proceed with CTA- 2013 -0004 to City Council, " which was originally voted on
April 11, 2013 and passed unanimously by the Commissioners then present. A second was
made and the motion was passed unanimously.
Chair Bates opened the Public Hearing at 6:18 PM
Community Development Director John Hohman provided a brief overview of the
materials for CTA- 2013 -0004 sign code amendments and went over the changes as
attached in the draft materials for the sign regulations.
Questions and Comments:
Under 22.110.090 section F: (Signs shall not be blocked or obscured by trees or
bushes.) Commissioner Stoy stated that after about five or six years after initial planting,
trees are going to become bigger trees and those signs will probably end up being blocked
by the trees.
Commissioner Carlsen asked if Mr. Hohman found out about any other jurisdictions and
their sign ordinances. Mr. Hohman stated that Spokane County prohibits most temporary
signage although there is not a lot of enforcement on reader boards and other temporary
signs. He said that the City of Spokane is flexible and does not regulate much temporary
signage, while the City of Liberty Lake does.
Regarding 22.110.050 section C: (Additional banners or temporary signs advertising a
special event, sale, promotion, opening of a new business or a business under new
Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 7
management, including banners, balloons, pennants, flags with copy, streamers,
seachlights and inflatables are allowed by temporary permit for a period of time not
to exceed 60 days a maximum of two times in any calendar year.) Commissioner
Carlsen asked if the balloons are meant for places like car lots. Mr. Hohman stated that it
would cover something like a big event, not every day balloons in a car lot.
Commissioner Bates commented on banners and different businesses such as the gas
station at the Fred Meyer location on Sullivan, and asked Mr. Hohman if that location
counted as one business or more than one business. Mr. Hohman responded it would be
counted as separate functions which would allow banners for both locations.
Public Comments:
Steve Wineinger 1124 N. Freya Spokane WA 99202.
Mr. Wineinger stated the following concerns:
1. Section 22.110.030 Permit required. Section C, line 3. (The location of all existing
signs on the site including size and height.) Mr. Wineinger proposes that that
requirement would be limited to freestanding signs. He stated whenever a wall sign
permit is pulled for a business that is in a strip mall or shopping center, that business
gets 25% of the wall area in their lease space. Therefore, if a place such as the Valley
Mall has a business that has an exterior space, under the requirement the sign company
would have to survey every sign on that property. In addition, the business may only be
leasing a portion of the area. He stated that when he pulls a permit, he has to give the
square footage of the wall, when they are allowed only 25% of that area. Mr. Wineinger
stated the way that the amendment above is worded, it would require the sign
companies to measure every sign on the entire property, which would add hours of
work to each permit. He stated it would be irrelevant and unnecessary.
2. Section 22.110.030 Section D, paragraph 1. (signature is required on each
construction drawing for signs over 30 feet in height, pole and monument signs
over 100 square feet in sign area regardless of height, flag signs over 10 feet in
height.) Mr. Wineinger, asked that the Planning Commission strongly consider passing
this new addition. He said his concern is with paragraph 2. (Special inspection agency
agreements, signed by the owner and special inspection agency are required for
sign construction with concrete over 2500 psi, on site welding, or high strength
bolting.) Mr. Wineinger said he wants to propose there be a stamp that puts the
verbiage on the permit apps it shows as follows: (If there is high, strength
concrete /bolts required that the customer must conform to the requirements as
called out by the engineer, all welds must be conformed to spec.) He also stated that
you could also require that a receipt from the concrete truck be turned in with the
permit. The reason for his request is that five percent of signs are match plate welded to
the pipe, like a bolt together kit. This way is very expensive. In addition, 95% of signs
are a pole in the ground, with the sign built on it. The sign in the middle has steel pipe
pockets. The sign is slid over the pipe, it's squared, leveled and than welded into place.
Commissioner Anderson stated he does not see any reason for high strength bolting, but
if an engineer required it, there are only two options: One is the turn of the nut method,
where they have to watch you bolt it down; and the other is the spline sacrifice bolt.
The spline snaps off when the torque is at a certain level and he said that nobody does
Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 7
that unless they can afford the machine that does it. He also stated there is an area in
there where inspection can be very expensive and produce zero net gain in the steel side
of it. Commissioner Anderson stated he agrees with Mr. Wineinger and stated he has
experience in this area. Commissioner Stoy stated that if an engineer that requires high
strength bolting in the structural plans than why you wouldn't incorporate those cost at
that point. Mr. Wineinger stated that in the sign business he has never been required to
have high strength/bolts concrete, except for the main stadium scoreboard for WSU.
Community Development Director Hohman stated he will need to consult with the
building official for this section. He said they would evaluate Mr. Wineinger's
comments and provide additional information for the Planning Commission.
3. Section 22.110.090 Paragraph F. (All new freestanding signs shall be located in a
landscaped area in accordance with SVIVIC 22.70.030.) Mr. Wineinger stated he
does not know of any other municipalities that he pull permits in, when landscaping is
required to get a sign permit. He proposed that paragraph (F) be removed. He
commented if you have a business that does not have landscaping and has no area for
landscaping, than the sign has to go in the parking lot because that is all they have.
Mr. Hohman said he wanted to discuss Mr. Wineinger comments on the first section. He
stated that he understands Mr. Wineinger comments, but he would like to focus on the
individual site. He stated if the item is changed to only free standing than you would be
missing out on a lot of information, so maybe it should be clarified such that it would direct
them to the specific businesses that are coming in and for the specific permit application.
Regarding the welding and special inspections, Mr. Hohman stated he would get back to
the Planning Commission with more information. On the landscaping portion he stated that
has been in the code previously and the language on the second line was to clarify that. Mr.
Hohman explained that Planning Commission might just want to remove that second
sentence (Signs shall not be blocked or obscured by tress or bushes) since it is not
necessary to include in that section.
There were no further comments and Commissioner Bates closed the Public Hearing
at 7:10 PM
Motion: Commissioner Stoy moved to approve and forward to the City Council CTA -2013-
0004 as presented, a second was made.
Discussion:
Commissioner Anderson commented on the verbiage in item C, 3. He asked if it could be
solved by just putting: (The location of all existing signs on the business's possessive
site.) so if you have a strip mall of businesses maybe that would apply. Commissioner Stoy
disagreed. He stated he thinks it's asking if there is more than one sign at that particular site
and not necessarily a mall sign where there are ten or twelve tenants. Concerning multiple
signs on the site, he stated that it should stay in there. Commissioner Anderson stated if you
have one business then it's irrelevant because it is one business per site, and asked if you
have a mall with multiple tenants does the sign code apply to each tenant or does it apply to
the mall owner? Commissioner Stoy stated that it is asking for a sign site plan. Deputy City
Attorney Lamb and Community Development Director Hohman recommended that the
Planning Commission could deliberate further to modify the language to say (The location
of all existing signs on the site for the subject business, including size and height.)
Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 7
There was discussion to have business removed and replaced with applicant. Everyone
agreed. Commissioner McCaslin commented about the specifics of the special inspection
section and wanted to know who does the special inspection agency agreements.
Commissioner Stoy responded that there are several in the City like GEO Tech Engineers,
Budinger and a few more; and said they are very expensive. Commissioner Stoy stated that
if special inspections are not required by the engineer and the plans state that the welds are
as per AWS or per WABO he is fine with that, but he stated it needs to say something like:
(if special inspections are required by the engineer.) Commissioner Carlsen commented
on the temporary signs section A. She stated that she likes the old verbiage better and that
the new verbiage brings too much clutter, and said that taking into account the size of the
parking area, might be good. Commissioner Carlsen also stated with a strip mall, it's too
many signs. Commissioner McCaslin disagreed with Commissioner Carlsen and said he
does not want this to set a precedent to have to legislate it, when private citizens should be
the ones to make their formal complaints with the businesses if there are too many signs.
Commissioner Neill stated that he agrees with the new changes and that if business don't
like so much sign clutter than they can make a complaint. Commissioner Bates stated he is
pro- business and that they need to do everything they can to make the City business
friendly. He stated that some will abuse this, but feels comfortable with the City's Code
Enforcement employees. He stated that most businesses are abiding by the rules.
Commissioner Bates shared that overall it's very good, and the business friendly sign
regulations that will be enforced by the City's code enforcement officers. Commissioner
Bates also commented on the display times for frames. Concerning Temporary Signs
number 3, he stated he does not believe that it's abused very much, and would like number
three taken out. He said he does not think business owners are taking the sign in and don't
need to. Commissioner Phillips stated that in downtown Issaquah they don't have any
signs, it's very laid back. He commented that he would not go into Issaquah because he
does not know where anything is without the business signs. He is for the new sign code
and believes we do not need to police the clutter.
Planning Commissioners discussed the wording under temporary signs, paragraph A. Six
Planning Commissioners wanted to keep the two signs verbiage and ' one Planning
Commissioner wanted it to stay with one sign shall be allowed at any one time.
Under 22.110.090 paragraph, F. Planning Commissioner Stoy stated that the second
sentence should be stricken. (Signs shall not be blocked or obscured by trees or bushes.)
He explained when a sign is placed in the landscaping strip, five to ten years later, the trees
will have grown and you will not be able to see the sign, so they will be cutting the trees off
at twenty feet. Commissioner Carlsen asked about the procedure for striking an ordinance.
Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that if they strike the second sentence, then it would
show up as an amendment, and that the ordinance just references the provision.
Commissioner Bates called for a five- minute break; he resumed the meeting at 7:42 PM
Community Development Director Hohman displayed the actual code provision that was
referenced in the sign code. Mr. Hohman stated that the sentence that is being discussed in
the sign code is just a reference to the landscaping code provision, which shows the
requirements for free standing signs, and is not in the scope of what was being discussed.
He stated if the provision is stricken, the landscaping code still applies. Commissioner Stoy
expressed concern about signs being placed and then being blocked five years later. Mr.
Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 7
Hohman stated the purpose for a review for landscaping is to make sure that any signage
and street trees do not conflict; also reviewed are site triangles at driveways to make sure
the landscaping does not interfere with the public's ability to get in and out of that business
without getting into an accident. Commissioner Stoy asked if a remodel is classified a new
development. Mr. Hohman stated, not according to what they are doing. He stated that his
interpretation is (new freestanding signs, serving a new development), which is a new
building in a new development would follow the proposed code. Mr. Lamb asked the
Planning Commission to look at (F) in the sign code regulations (requires that new signs
be located in accordance with 22.70.030 (.1)), particularly to look at (J4) (new sign
structures on a fully developed site are exempt from landscaping). Mr. Lamb
commented that he reads that as (J) provides for that instance and if you had an existing
building and they wanted to put a new sign on there, it would not be required to meet the
landscaping requirements. Commissioner Phillips stated if it read (all new freestanding
signs shall be located in accordance with 22.70.030 (.1)) than that solves the problem, but
not as long as it reads (shall be located in a landscape area in accordance with). He
stated that once you have a landscaped area then you're fighting a battle to prove that you
don't have to have a landscaped area and he said he would like the landscaped area taken
out. Commissioner Carlsen stated that maybe it should state (shall be located in areas in
accordance) and (just take out the landscape). Mr. Lamb stated that since (J) does not
address where to locate the sign, rather than modifying it to state (located in accordance)
perhaps it should read (all new freestanding signs shall comply with SVMC 22.70.030
(.1)). He said that accomplishes what Commissioner Phillips wants and there would be no
confusion to where the sign is located. All Planning Commissioners agreed.
Mr. Hohman asked for clarification from the Planning Commission on Section 22.110.090
Paragraph F. Mr. Hohman asked if the Planning Commission wanted to leave the sentence
as stated. (sign shall not be blocked by trees or bushes). Through discussion the Planning
Commission decided to leave the sentence in the ordinance.
Commissioner Bates said there needs to be some clarification on Special inspections
agency agreement. Mr. Hohman recommended to continue deliberations to the next
meeting.
Mr. Lamb stated to Commissioner Bates that he had mentioned about the display time for
the (A) frames. He stated he wanted to make sure what the Commissioners consensus was
on that. Temporary Signs, section E, paragraph 3. (Display Time. Signs may shall only
be displayed during business hours. If business hours continue past daylight hours,
precautions should be taken to place the sign in a lighted area. This shall not be
construed to allow the wiring of a sign for lighting.) Mr. Phillips asked about the word
(may) instead of replacing it with (shall). Mr. Lamb stated that (shall) was to bring it into
conformity with how they provide mandates with the rest of the code. Commissioner
McCaslin asked about the words (only out) and have (may) by itself. Mr. Lamb responded
it would not make it a mandate, it would then be optional displayed and you would still
have the after daylight hour precautions being in a lighted area after dark. Mr. Lamb stated
that the consideration would be the next section 3, take out the first sentence, and rework
the second sentence to read(if the sign is displayed passed daylight hours, precautions
should be taken to place the sign in a lighted area). Planning Commissioners agreed to
take out the first sentence. In addition, they all agreed to replace with (Display Time. If the
Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 7
sign is displayed past daylight huun, precautions should be taken.) Planning
Commission all agreed.
Commissioner Bates asked if there were any more questions.
Commissioner Bates stated 'the pecial inspections discussion would resume at the next
meeting.
Con migsioner Stoy thanked W Lamb for his insight during the meeting.

Re Finance Department Activity Report -- May 2013
Following is information pertaining to Finance Department activities through the end of May
2013 and included herein is a 2013 Budget to Actual Comparison of Revenues and
Expenditures through the month of May.
2012 Yearend Process
The 2012 books were closed in April 2013. The general accounting work required to
accomplish this included determining that revenue and expenditure activity was posted to the
correct year and accounts, analyzing account balances and preparing closing entries. The
annual report preparation is nearly complete in advance of the annual audit which we hope will
begin sometime in early July 2013.
2014 Budget Development Process
The 2014 Budget development process is well underway and at this point we have received
detailed budget requests from all departments. By the time the budget is adopted on October
22 "1 the Council will have had an opportunity to discuss the budget on seven occasions
including three public hearings.
June 18 Council budget workshop
August 13 Admin report on 2014 revenues and expenditures
August 27 Public hearing #1 on 2014 revenues and expenditures
September 10 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2014 Budget
September 24 Public hearing #2 on 2014 Budget
October 8 First reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2014 Budget
October 22 Second reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2014 Budget
2014 Property Tax Levy
A significant part of the budget development process includes the annual levy of property taxes
which in 2014 are expected to account for approximately 30% of recurring General Fund
revenues. Council discussions specifically related to this topic will take place at the following
meetings:
August 27 Review of ordinances levying 2014 property taxes and confirming tax levy
September 24 First reading of ordinances levying 2014 property taxes and confirming
tax levy.
October 8 Second reading of ordinances levying 2014 property taxes and confirming
tax levy.

Budget to Actual Comparison Report
A report reflecting 2013 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which
a 2013 Budget was adopted is located on pages 5 through 16. Because we attempt to provide
this information in a timely manner this report is prepared from records that are not formally
closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records. Although it is
realistic to expect the figures will change over subsequent weeks, I believe the report is
materially accurate.
We've included the following information in the report:
• Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and
by type in all other funds.
• A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General
Fund, Street O &M Fund and Stormwater Fund.
• The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund
balance figures are those that are expected to be reflected in our 2012 Annual Financial
Report.
• Columns of information include:
• The 2013 Budget as adopted.
• May 2013 activity.
• Cumulative 2013 activity through May 2013.
• Budget remaining in terms of dollars.
• The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed.
A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 5):
Recurring revenues collections are currently at 37.36% of the amount budgeted with 41.7% of
the year elapsed. This is typical and reflective of the nature of the timing of when revenues are
collected.
• Property tax collections have reached $4,851,355 or 44.33% of the amount budgeted.
Property taxes are paid to Spokane County Treasurer in two installments each year on April
30 and October 31. The greatest portion of these monies are then remitted to the City in
May and November, with lesser amounts typically received in June and December.
• Sales tax collections represent only 4- months of collections thus far because taxes collected
in May are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of June. Collections are
currently $5,311,936 or 34.83% of the amount budgeted.
• Gambling taxes are at $149,203 or 24.37% of the amount budgeted. These taxes are paid
quarterly with first quarter payments due by April 30. Most of the returns were received on
the final day of April and actually booked as revenue the Vt of May.
• Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month
following a calendar year quarter. This year, however, a number of payments were not
received until early May. Through May we have received $323,164 or 28.47% of the
amount budgeted.
• State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items
such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal
justice monies. Most of these revenues are paid by the State in the month following a
calendar quarter. Through May we've received first quarter remittances totaling $454,696 or
26.99% of the amount budgeted.
• Service revenues are largely composed of building permit and plan review fees as well as
false alarm fees and right of way permits. Revenues are currently $687,123 or 52.69% of
the amount budgeted.
IISV- FS2IUsersbncaihounIFinance Activity Reports1201312013 05.docx Page 2
Fines and forfeitures revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County
with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine. Through May
2013 we've received remittances for the period January through April with receipts of
$428,216 or 28.66% of the amount budgeted.
Recreation program fees are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks and
recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in- season), and CenterPlace.
Currently, revenues total $217,754 or 38.10% of the amount budgeted.
Recurring expenditures are currently at 36.81% of the amount budgeted with 41.7% of the year
elapsed. Departments experience seasonal fluctuations in activity so they don't necessarily
expend their budget in twelve equal monthly installments. At this point the Council budget is
45.00% expended and this can be explained by the January and April 2013 payments of annual
dues to AWC and the NLC for a total cost of $67,953.
Investments (page 17)
Investments at May 31 total $47,495,568 and are composed of $42,452,679 in the Washington
State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,042,889 in bank CDs.
Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 18)
Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through May and total $5,982,374 including
general, criminal justice and public safety taxes. This figure is $396,244 (7.09 %) greater than
for the same 4 -month period in 2012.
Economic Indicators (pages 19 — 21)
The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax
revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy.
1. Sales taxes (page 19) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are
spending on the purchase of goods.
2. Hotel I Motel taxes (page 20) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our
area by tourists or business travelers.
3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 21) provide us with a sense of real estate sales.
Page 19 provides a 10 -year history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or
criminal justice) with monthly detail beginning January 2004.
• Compared with calendar year 2012, 2013 collections have increased by $367,306 or 7.43 %.
• Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at $17.4 million and dropped off dramatically in the subsequent
three years.
Page 20 provides a 10 -year history of hotel /motel tax receipts with monthly detail beginning
January 2004.
• Compared with calendar year 2012, 2013 collections have decreased by $1,898 or 1.57 %.
• Collections peaked in 2012 at approximately $490,004.
Page 21 provides a 10 -year history of real estate excise tax receipts with monthly detail
beginning January 2004.
• Compared with calendar year 2012, 2013 collections have increased by $113,933 or 43.7 %.
• Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at nearly $2.6 million, decreased precipitously in 2008 and
2009, and appear to be slowly gaining ground.

Debt Capacity „and Bonds Outstanding (page 22)
This page provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General
Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds
the City currently has outstanding.
• The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed
value and the 2012 assessed value for 2013 property taxes is $6,921,825,295. Following
the City's December 1, 2012, bond payment, the City currently has $7,690,000 of nonvoted
G.O. bonds outstanding which represents 7.41% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.48%
of our total debt capacity for all types of bonds.
• The $7,690,000 of bonds the City currently has outstanding is part of the 2003 nonvoted
(LTGO) bond issue. Of this amount:
o $6,130,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds
are repaid with a portion of the 1110 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane
Public Facilities District.
o $1,560,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around
CenterPlace. The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected
by the City.

Sales tax receipts reported here reflect remittances for genera] sales tax, criminal justice
sales tax and public safety 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 State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to
the various agencies that have imposed the tax.
The allocation of the total 8.7% tax rate to
the agencies is as follows:
- State of Washington
6.50%
- City of Spokane Valley
0.85%
- Spokane County
0.15%
- Spokane Public Facilities District
0.10%
- Crminial Justice
0.10%
- Public Safety
0.10% * 2.20% local tax
- Juvenile Jail
0.10% *
- Mental Health
0,10% *
- Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% *
- Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% *
8.70%
* Indicates voter approved sales taxes
In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives, we also receive a portion of
the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is
computed as follows:
Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County.
Public Safety; The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

MEMO
TO: Mike Jackson, City Manager
FROM: Rick VanLeuven, Chief of Police
DATE: June 17, 2013
RE: Monthly Report May 2013
Mn 2013:
May 2
CAD incidents:
4,805
CAD incidents:

CAD incidents indicate calls for service as well as self - initiated officer contacts. Hot spot maps are
attached showing May residential burglaries, traffic collisions, vehicle prowlings, and stolen vehicles.
Also attached are trend -line graphs for 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012 and 2013: Citations, Spokane Valley
Dispatched Calls, Self- Initiated Calls, Collisions, Persons Crimes, Property Crimes, and Sex Crimes.
Also included is the May Crimes By Cities stats report. This report reflects incidents that occurred in a
specific city to which a deputy from Spokane County took the courtesy report. For instance, an
individual may have had his car stolen in Airway Heights, and he waited until he returned home in the
Newman Lake to make a report.
In 2011, we switched from UCR to NIBRS classification. As a result, certain crimes were broken
down to their violation parts for NIBRS and each part is now counted. Consequently, comparing
certain crimes before 2011 to crimes during or after 2011 is not possible using the graphs. The crimes
that are impacted by the NIBRS classification changes and should not be compared to prior graphs
include: Adult Rape, Assault, Forgery and Theft.

OPERATIONS:
CV Schools Go Into Lockdown - On a Thursday in early May, Spokane Valley Sheriffs Deputies
responded to the area of 28th and Blake to the report of a possible shots fired call. The complainant
told 9 -1 -1 that she saw a white male in his mid -20's, wearing a t -shirt and carrying a black pack. She
said the male was carrying a rifle and shooting it into the ground. Multiple deputies, supervisors and
detectives from the Spokane Valley responded to the area and attempted to locate the suspect. Central
Valley School Resource Deputies contacted the school district and the decision was immediately made
to put nine schools in the area on lockdown. The entire area was searched for over an hour and the
suspect was not located. There were no other calls pertaining to the initial shots fired call. An adult
male, who lives in the Spokane Valley, received a call from a friend notifying him of the lockdown at
several CV School District schools. When he heard the specifics, he contacted Spokane Valley
Deputies. He advised deputies he had been walking to a friend's transporting a paint -ball gun. He said
he took the CO2 cartridge off the gun which made a popping noise. He figured this was what the
complainant heard when he realized he had walked by her residence. Deputies contacted the subject
and determined this was in fact what the complainant had heard and that there were no shots of any
kind fired. After it was determined there was no danger to the students and faculty, the schools were
taken off lockdown status.
Stolen Property Recovered at the Crosslands Motel — In early May, the management of the
Crosslands Motel reported suspicious items left behind by a tenant whose rental period had expired.
Deputies Dodge and Ebel responded and found the motel room packed with a variety of household
items, the type that you would expect to see in an elderly person's home. They searched through the
belongings, looking for an indicator of ownership, and found the name of a female with a St. Maries,
Idaho address. Contact was made with the St. Maries Police who were familiar with the recently
deceased female and her husband, who was also deceased. They checked the home and found the door
kicked open and the interior ransacked. The items from the hotel were collected and turned over the
following morning to the St. Maries Police, who will continue the investigation.
Every 15 Minutes Program — Chief VanLeuven received a thank you from Wally Watson, the ASB
Advisor at University High School that read:
I would like to extend my sincere gratitude to the Spokane County Sheriffs Department
and the City of Spokane Valley Police Department for their support of, and participation
in University High School's 2013 Every 15 Minutes program.
Designed to save lives through awareness of the hazards of drinking and driving, this
program has been a tradition at U -High for the past six years. Crucial to the success of
the program is the presence of police officers to make presentations to seniors. If it
wasn't for your dedication to our program and the presence of your officers, our program
could not continue.
The presence of your officers made our program possible. I am especially thankful for
Deputy Jeff Duncan and Chaplain Quaschnick for their participation Thursday evening
and coming to speak at our assembly on Friday morning.

Twenty -Four Time Convicted Felon Facing More Felony Charges - Spokane Valley Property
Crimes Task Force and the Sheriffs Office Investigative Task Force served a search warrant in mid -
May near the 3000 block of North Hogan St. This was the result of a lengthy investigation into
multiple charges of Identity Theft, Forgery, Money Laundering and other types of criminal activity. A
46- year -old female suspect was taken into custody for 22 new felony charges, which include Money
Laundering, Identity Theft and Forgery. She has already been convicted of 24 similar felony charges
in the past. Several additional felony charges are expected as the investigation continues.
Deputies and K9 Laslo Locate 3 Wanted Suspects - On a Saturday night in mid -May, Spokane
Valley Sheriff's Deputies with the assistance of K9 Laslo, located and arrested three adult females for
felony charges. The incident started just after 11 p.m. when a citizen reported three females were
wearing what appeared to be hospital wristbands and they told him they had just "escaped" from a
drug treatment facility. This information also matched a report received less than an hour earlier
where it was reported three females walked away from a drug treatment facility in 12700 block of
Mission in violation of a court order. Deputy Nathan Bohanek began checking the area of Argonne
Road and Montgomery for the three adult females. Deputy Bohanek entered the Denny's on North
Argonne to check for the suspect. He observed three females matching the description leave the
building through an emergency exit. As he exited the building, he observed the three suspects running
across Argonne and called for additional units to assist. Deputy Jeff Thurman and his K9 partner,
Laslo, arrived in the area to assist. Deputy Thurman observed the females run into the parking lot of
the Motel 6. He positively identified one of the females as a 21- year -old who had two confirmed out -
of- county felony warrants, from a picture on his mobile computer. When he pulled into the parking
lot, he exited his vehicle with Laslo and yelled for the suspects to stop. A 23- year -old female suspect
stopped immediately but the other two suspects, one age 25 and the other age 26 years, continued to
run. Additional units arrived and Deputy Thurman and Laslo gave chase. As Deputy Thurman
pursued the females, he observed them running toward him in the hallway but they stopped when they
saw him and Laslo. Deputy Thurman ordered them to stop or he would send Laslo. One female
immediately leaned against the wall and put her hands up, but one of the females turned and began to
run toward the exit. Deputy Thurman deployed Laslo and she was quickly apprehended. The female
suspects were transported to the Spokane County Jail and booked on felony DOC warrants; the other
female was also cited for an additional misdemeanor charge of Obstructing a Peace Officer. After
receiving medical treatment, the first female apprehended was transported and booked into the
Spokane County Jail on her felony warrants and she was cited for additional misdemeanor charges of
Obstructing a Peace Officer and Resisting Arrest.
Off -Duty Officer Victim Of Reckless Juvenile Driver — In the early morning hours on a Wednesday
morning, Spokane Valley Sheriffs Deputy Jeremy Howe was notified by an off -duty Spokane Police
Officer that while he was on his way home from work on 1 -90, a Ford Explorer intentionally tried to
run him off the road multiple times. Deputy Howe located the Explorer traveling south on Argonne
approaching Broadway. Deputy Howe activated his emergency lights in an attempt to stop the
Explorer. The Explorer fled at a high rate of speed in an obvious attempt to elude Deputy Howe.
Deputy Howe notified dispatch he was in pursuit and other units responded to the area. The vehicle
continued to flee at a high rate of speed east on Sprague Avenue, north on University and approached
the intersection of Mission and Pines. Stop sticks were deployed at the intersection in an attempt to
disable the vehicle, which the driver saw, and drove onto the curb putting any pedestrian traffic in
extreme danger. The vehicle continued to drive extremely reckless northeast through Spokane Valley
until deputies eventually located the Explorer blacked out between two semis in the Industrial Park at
Page 5
Kiernan and Sullivan. Two juvenile males were detained inside the vehicle and the driver fled the
scene. A Spokane Police Department K9 unit arrived and quickly located the juvenile male driver a
short distance from the Explorer. When the driver was asked why he did not try to continue running
from the scene, he said he knew the K9 would find him. When asked why he was trying to run
vehicles off I -90, he said he thought it would be fun to "mess" with traffic. He said he intentionally
swerved at vehicles, slowed down, then sped up. Although the Sheriffs Office has a strict policy on
pursuits, the danger this juvenile driver posed to the public justified getting him off the road before he
severely injured any innocent bystanders. The two juvenile male passengers were not charged and
released to their parents. The juvenile male driver was booked into the Juvenile Detention Center on
the felony charges of Felony Eluding, 1 st Degree Assault, and two - counts of Unlawful Imprisonment.
Spokane Valley Fatality - On a Wednesday night in mid -May, Spokane Valley Sheriff Deputies
responded to a single vehicle crash in the intersection of Sprague and Fancher. When deputies arrived
on scene, they located a four -door sedan that had crashed head -on against a power pole on the
northeast corner of the intersection. Deputies tended to the driver and passenger of the vehicle. The
driver was not responsive; the passenger was alert and conscious, however complaining of chest pains.
Medics arrived on scene a short time later and performed life saving measures on the 50- year -old male
driver. He was pronounced dead at the scene a short time later. Sheriffs Office Collision
Investigators responded to the scene and determined the vehicle had been traveling westbound on
Sprague prior to hitting the power pole head -on. The 50- year -old driver had not been wearing his
seatbelt, which was a contributing factor to his death. The 30- year -old passenger was wearing his
seatbelt and received minor injuries. Investigators determined excessive speed was not the causing
factor, but it appears alcohol and/or drugs were contributing factors.
Law gets tough on boating under the influence - Governor Jay Inslee signed the boating safety bill
(Senate Bill 5437) in mid -May, a three -part bill that changes Washington's boating safety laws and
gets tough on boaters operating under the influence. The law changes go into effect on July 28. Most
notably, the bill strengthens Washington's boating under the influence (BUI) law by making the
penalty for BUI a gross misdemeanor punishable by a maximum fine of $5,000 and 364 days in jail.
Additionally, the law now allows for implied consent, which means an officer can require a boat
operator to take a breath or blood test if the officer believes the operator is boating under the influence.
If the operator refuses, he /she could be issued a $1,000 civil infraction.
• "Washington has a long history of being a maritime state. We need to keep boating safe and
fun, and this legislation will help us do that. I'm delighted that by working with our state
partners and boating stakeholders, we were able to develop legislation that everyone could
agree to," said Washington State Parks Director Don Hoch.
• "The cultural, economic and recreational significance of Washington state waterways can't be
overemphasized. Likewise, neither can boating safety. The passage of this measure provides
law enforcement with additional tools and strengthens our commitment to limiting tragedies on
waterways," said Bruce Bjork, chief of police for the Department of Fish and Wildlife, an
agency that played a key role in writing and promoting the legislation.
Lastly, the law gives marine law enforcement officers the ability to hold negligent or reckless boaters
accountable and the authority to issue citations for vessel accidents they did not witness. Now, when
an officer is investigating a vessel accident, like a vessel -to- vessel collision, and it's determined a boat
operator caused the accident by breaking a boating safety law, the officer can arrest the operator for
criminal violations or issue a citation for an infraction.
Page 6
"This is a great change and something we've needed for a long time. We've had this auftrity
on land, but we lacked it on the water. I think this is really going to help us educate boaters
about the importance of the boating rules of the road," said Ed Holmes, Mercer Island police
chief and president of the Washington Association of Sheriffs and Police Chiefs.
According to State larks data, aloohol is a factor in 30 percent of boating fatalities. The law change
was Intended to deter BU1 by increasing the penalty and introducing implied consent in the form of a
monetary penalty - not tied to the driver's Iioense.
Other changes to the law include the following:
1. Testing language consistent with driving under the influence (DUI) procedures: The
statute was updated to reference the breath and blood testing procedures used in DUJ cases.
These procedures have been thoroughly tested in court.
2. Marijuana references added: The statute was updated with marijuana references that Mirror
language in Initiative 502, which made the recreational use of marijuana legal.
3. Test refusal is not admissible in court: The statute makes it clear that a boater's refusal to
submit to either a breath or blood test Cannot be used as evidence in a court of law.
4. Recreational vessel rentals: The statue makes it clear that rented vessels must have aU safety
equipment, be properly registered and meet all other state requirements.

Scams Evolving From Oklahoma Tragedy - Since the tragic events in Oklahoma, the criminal
element wasted no time in soliciting money for non - existent programs claiming to assist victims and
other programs in Oklahoma. Historically, with major tragedies such as this one, illegitimate
organizations have solicited money for programs devastated by tragedies such as the one in Oklahoma.
Several people have heen victimized by groups or individuals thoughtless enough To coMmit such
crimes. The Sheriffs Office, as well as die local office of the Better Business Bureau, encourages
citizens to contact the Better Business Bureau or The Red Cross to ensure the organization requesting
donations is legitimate. It is extremely unfortunate that people in our community take advantage of
generous, caring people during these types of tragedies. The Sheriff's Office wants to ensure people
wanting to assist during this horrific time are not victimized.
Latest Brass Thefts Extremely Dangerous - The Spokane Valley Fire Department has reported
multiple buildings that have had the FDC's (fire Department Connoctions] stolen from the exterior of
the buildings. These brass fittings are used for the fire department to connect to and charge the interior
sprinkler system in the event of a large scale fire. Without these exterior adaptors, not only the
integrity of the huilding but the safety of people inside the building is put at extreme risk. If anyone,
Page 8
other than a firefighter, is seen working on these fittings, you are asked to call Crime Check at 509-
456 -2233. Due to the extreme safety hazard of these thefts, Crime Stoppers is offering a cash reward
for anyone providing information leading to an arrest in these thefts. Persons with information should
call the Crime Stoppers Tip Line or should forward the tip via the Internet website.
Memorial Weekend Boat Safety Emphasis - The Spokane County Sheriffs Office goal is to promote
safe and courteous boating. Deputies conducted boat inspections both on the water and at ramps to aid
in safe boating. Enforcement was targeted on those blatantly disregarding safe boating practices. A
"Zero Tolerance" policy is in place for Operating Under the Influence, lack of PFD'S (life jackets),
and failure to obtain the Mandatory Boating Education Card as required. We recommend all vessels
carry a throwable PFD (Type IV), which is required if your vessel is 16 feet or longer in length.
Deputies will be checking local lakes for wake violations and noise violations. Boaters are reminded
each vessel must have an effective muffler installed, which reduces the sound to a legal level. Also,
all vessels, to include "wake boats," are responsible for any wake they create. Enforcement for a
damaging wake starts at a $250 fine and can increase to a criminal nature, if intent is present. All
operators of wake boats are cautioned to watch their wake and its effects. Wake boats should only be
operated in the center of the lake, away from other vessels, and far enough away from the shore to
allow wake dissipation prior to it reaching the shore, docks, or other vessels. Boaters are reminded
each vessel must contain at least one life vest for each person aboard. These vests must be
appropriately sized and in good condition. Children 12- years -old and younger must wear a life vest
(PFD) at all times the boat is not docked, anchored, or beached. Adults are encouraged to wear a life
vest at all times as well. Falling into our local lakes, given the current water temps, will make it very
difficult to re -board your vessel without assistance. Remember, most people drown during the first
couple of minutes of cold water immersion due to panic and the body's reaction to cold water.
Regardless of how good a swimmer you are, cold water immersion is an emergency. The onset of
hyperthermia will be quick given water temperatures in the 50's and air temperature in the low 40's
each morning.
Savage Land Pizza Burglary - In the early morning of a Wednesday in late May, Spokane Valley
Sheriffs Deputies responded to Savage Land Pizza at 700 S. Dishman Rd. to a burglary alarm. When
they arrived on scene, they found the front glass door to the business pried open. When they entered
the business, they found an ATM machine that had been bolted to the floor had been pried off of its
supports and stolen. Deputies were able to see scuff marks on the floor from the ATM machine
leading to the front door, out of the business and onto the front walkway. At about 11:00 a.m. the
following morning, a citizen called in a suspicious vehicle report near the area of Knox and Nora in
Spokane Valley. Deputies responded and learned not only had the suspicious vehicle, which was a
pickup truck, been reported stolen around 2:00 a.m. Wednesday morning, but they also found an
extremely damaged ATM machine in the bed of the truck. The owner of Savage Land Pizza
responded to the stolen truck and confirmed it was the ATM machine that had been inside her
business. The ATM machine itself is valued around $2,000.00. It is unknown at this time how much
money was inside the machine. Anyone with information with regard to this Burglary is asked to call
Crime Check at 509- 456 -2233.

Schnoli, Children, Park Zones - The Spoknne County Sheriff's Office would like to remind the
motoring public that public schools in our area will be dismissing students for summer break the week
of June 10th. We urge the motoring public to take extra caution when traveling through active school
zones, as children may not be as focused on safety as they are excited for their summer break.
Statistics show that a child struck at 20 mph has a 90% chance of surviving -vs. a child struck at 30
mph, which only gives the child a 10% chance of surviving. School zone signs marked "When
Children Are Present" means that iF there is one child within the school zone on the sidewalk., 20 mph
can he enforced. This sign is enforceable not only during the school year but all year long. We
would also like to remind the motoring public that many park zone speed limit signs are changing to
20 mph. Black and yellow speed limit signs are suggested speeds that are not enforceable. Black and
white speed limit signs are enforceable with the same, expensive fine schedule as a school zone ticket.
You gill see orange diamonds c top of the black and white speed limit signs reminding motorists the
speed limit has changed in the park zone.

REGIONAL SOLID WASTE SYSTEM
Staff attended regional strategy meetings with Spokane County and City of Spokane
regarding development of an RFP to solicit proposals from consultants to evaluate
alternatives for solid waste management and disposal. The selection committee
recommended HDR's proposal. The Committee has been negotiating a fee proposal with
HDR to be presented to the County Commissioners in May. The County Commissioners
approved the contract with HDR and the contract was signed on May 20. A kickoff
meeting is scheduled for June 5.
PAVEMENT MANAGEMENT PLAN
A contract was executed with IMS to prepare the 2013 update to the Pavement
Management Plan. IMS has completed the scanning of the streets. We instructed them to

inputing the data collected into Cartegraph (the pavement management software program)
and updating the model.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 2, 2013 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
® information ❑ admin. Report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Intergovernmental Purchasing Contract with the Washington State
General Administration Office.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 39.34 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative report February 19, 2013; approval of
former agreement March 12, 2013.
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.
Staff is proposing this interlocal purchasing agreement with the State of Washington — General
Administration Office (GAO) so the City can purchase various items, including miscellaneous
equipment and goods for Public Works, and IT equipment. Items purchased through this
contract are generally expected to be below normal retail pricing.
The City previously entered into its last such agreement with the State in March, 2013, which
expired June 30, 2013. This new contract is revised in form, and shorter. Of importance to
note is that the new contract does not carry a cost. The former agreement was $2,000
annually.
Public Works staff is requested expedited consideration of this agreement to be able to timely
purchase equipment for installation of school beacons for a pending street project.
OPTIONS: (1) Move to a future agenda as drafted; (2) request further information.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus to place on July 9 agenda for motion
consideration.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No cost to the City for the purchasing agreement.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney
