Rod Higgins, Councilmember Eric Guth,Public Works Director Arne Woodard,Councilmember Mike Stone,Parks&Rec Director Ben Wick,Councilmember John Whitehead,Human Resources Manager Erik Lamb,Deputy City Attorney Others in Attendance: Greg Bingaman, IT Specialist Mike Hoffman,Valley News Herald Raba Nimri,Accountant Budget Analyst Nina Culver, Spokesman Review Michelle Rasmussen,Administrative Assistant Bill Bates,Planning Commission Chair Rick VanLeuven,Police Chief Ron Schmidt,Fire Commissioner Carolbelle Branch,Public Information Officer Ed Pace Chris Bainbridge,City Clerk One or two other citizens Mayor Towey called the meeting to order at 9:30 a.m. and welcomed everyone. He explained that this is an informal gathering to examine the draft budget for 2014; said he hopes to take from this meeting a philosophy that is sustainable for the future of our city, and said that is sometimes more important than the budget figures as the philosophy will be the reality in the future. Workshop Overview City Manager Jackson gave a brief summary of the process for today's workshop; said the worksheets in the notebook are draft worksheets as the preliminary budget won't be delivered to Council until September; he brought attention to the Draft Business Plan, which he explained shows a type of "snapshot in time" and said the worksheets help guide the Plan;that once the final budget is adopted, staff goes back to the business plan to make sure it matches; he said this plan is published once a year and after publication, staff begins working on the next publication. Mr. Jackson explained that each Department Director will review their individual budget. Mr. Jackson also noted there are supplemental budget requests under Tab 12,which items are not currently included in the budget but have been requested, and said staff feels those requests have merit. After discussion of the plan, Mr. Jackson said we'll discuss capital projects and he noted that the spreadsheets, similar to the TIP (Transportation Improvement Plan), can be used to track those projects; he said we will also discuss financial objectives at the beginning as well as at the end of the meeting,wants to look at possible Council goals, and if time permits,we will end the meeting with a brainstorming session. Mr. Jackson said that page 9 in the Business Plan contains the program descriptions and shows where we try to consolidate everything in the Plan, and said this will give Council an idea of functions of the various departments, adding that each department section also contains an organizational chart which lists responsibilities, goals and strategies for the year. For example, Mr. Jackson mentioned that the top of page 66 shows that the department is within their maximum allowable increase of 1% for non-wage issues; he said that wages, salaries, PERS benefits, and health care are represented in the wages and salaries, which he explained actually increased more than 1%, but stressed that the non-wages were Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 1 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT capped at a 1% increase. Mr. Jackson pointed out the theoretical reduction of 3, 6, and 9% and of the possible ramifications of such reductions. He also went over the Fiscal Policies, Objectives, Commitment and Challenges as noted on pages 6 and 7 of the Business Plan; he said we have to constrain our spending even in the good years and he stressed that the #1 fiscal policy for financial management to "Maintain basic service levels with reduced resources" is actually a powerful statement. He spoke of the other information contained on those two pages, including that we have been and continue to be committed to minimizing personnel costs/overhead since incorporation; that staff considers the potential future costs and sometimes contracting is more of a cost over time, and said later today we will discuss bringing in- house at least one contracted service. Concerning grant opportunities, Mr. Jackson said one of the things we want to discuss is defining grant requirements and whether we want to have grant requirements before moving forward, all while keeping in mind sometimes it could take ten years to complete these projects, but he said they have a way of getting done. Mr. Jackson said we are very proud of the extremely low debt we have incurred and there might be circumstances in the future, especially concerning solid waste where we will examine those issues,particularly when it comes to making a determination on whether we want to own the transfer station; he said we all support the policy of not issuing a debt unless there's a revenue source for dealing with that debt. Concerning fiscal policy #6, prioritizing spending and minimizing mid-year additions of projects and appropriations, he said we have been fairly flexible and had a number of budget amendments; but suggested the focus be on the budget process and strive to look at the coming year within that process and proceed according; he said the likely best way to handle issues is, if possible, to put a project off until the subsequent budget cycle. Councilmember Grafos said he agrees with maintaining service levels, and prioritizing the basic levels of spending, and to make staff and Council aware that other items would be extra and would need justification. Councilmember Hafner agreed but added that flexibility is needed as well in those circumstances where we would need to "strike while the iron is hot." City Manager Jackson said he agreed as we would not want to miss an opportunity for the sake of following protocol; but that the goal is to work as hard as possible to fit those in the following budget process. Mayor Towey agreed with the need to keep focused on the service level and to evaluate projects as they come; Councilmember Higgins and Wick also agreed, with Councilmember Woodard adding that if there is a loss of revenues, adjustments will have to be made; and Deputy Mayor Schimmels added that he also agrees with prioritizing the need,rather than the want. City Manager Jackson said that we have an extremely sound budget; we have a 50%ending fund balance, and a $5.4 million service stabilization fund if needed; he said we don't have enough money for every project, and again stressed that sometimes it just takes time to get the projects done; adding that when the Finance Committee met, they went over these policies as well. Concerning page 7 of the business plan, Mr. Jackson said there is an established goal of retaining a minimum general fund ending balance of 50% of recurring expenditures; and said we don't want that to drop below that figure; and said you can't have reserves and spend them too. Councilmember Woodard remarked that over the last three years, we only went into the reserves about one-half million; and that we didn't access them in 2011 or 2012, but did in 2010. Mr. Jackson replied that he would have to research those figures. There was discussion about defining what the basic services are and of the priorities should a cut become necessary. Mr. Jackson said that the services we provide are the core level we want to offer our community; and said if we had to reduce any of the services we are providing now,we'd be cutting into the core level;he said if there was a drastic downturn, we'd start to look at some of the support services; that in such a scenario, we would look at the importance of maintaining parks and pools even in an economic downturn; he said we have dwindled this reserve down over the last few years; and that we are providing those core services as efficiently and economically as possible; and said the core services are equal and it would be difficult to cut any of the programs. Mr. Jackson added that we do face challenges; that we are doing a good job of funding street preservation and can sustain the current level to 2016; but we can also look at other opportunities to roll some of that funding forward, so the concept would be to extend the program rather than take away additional funds. REET (real estate excise tax) funds were mentioned and Finance Director Calhoun said they have peaked at about $2.7 million; they declined in 2011 to about $900,000; that we now have $1 million budgeted for 2013, and even though that may sound good,that is still about half of what they were in 2007. Mr. Jackson said we have not heard anything defmitive concerning the Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 2 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT State Legislators and our at-risk shared revenues; he said our budget depends on us receiving full allocation of liquor revenues from the State,and if they reduce that,we will be changing our budget. Councilmember Hafner brought up the subject of our law enforcement contract and said we want to make sure we have money available for a safe city; that without a safe city, parks and roads aren't worth anything and families won't move into our community; said we need a plan to provide deputies for the future. City Manager Jackson said this topic will be discussed more later, but said that he has spoken with the Sheriff and with our Chief, and during 2014 we will devote the vast amount of our analyst time at looking at those measures and looking for efficiencies; that the cost per officer is approximately $150,000; our law enforcement and public safety budget is about $24 million and with a property tax of $11 million, that doesn't even cover half of the cost; that one of the things the #4 financial objective on page 7 addresses is that the budget is not taking that permitted 1% increase, but he said we could take it and focus that money on law enforcement, an option to discuss later; that unless things improve dramatically, it will take additional people to provide that revenue as there is not a lot of general fund money available to add officers or programs; that it needs to be a multi-year plan; and he said we are proposing to spend in this budget almost exactly what we project in revenues; and said we will need $300,000 excess this year to add those officers for next year. Budget Worksheet Overview Finance Director Calhoun began by explaining that the formula used in the past few years is used for this budget as well; he said it is set up with recurring and nonrecurring activities; he said 2014 revenue projections are based on revenues from the last five years; said he understands the importance of not being overly optimistic or pessimistic and has tried to be as realistic as possible, and when not certain, said he takes the more conservative number. Mr. Calhoun also noted the figures do not include taking the 1% property tax increase; and said some of our budget process is dependent upon the State's budget process, such as liquor excise tax and profits. Finance Director Calhoun also briefly explained some of the miscellaneous department revenues, investment interest, the fund balance in general, the street fund, mentioned the continual decrease of telephone tax which he said is likely due to people moving from land lines to cell phones; and went over the stormwater fund page, which he said will be explained further by Public Works Director Guth. 1.Legislative City Manager Jackson briefed Council on information concerning the Legislative Department, which is City Council, with the larger sheet showing actual figures for past years as well as hypothetical 3, 6, and 9%reductions; and that the yellow sheet shows the actual breakdown of line items. He explained that the figures under postage reflects about 1,500 letters a year welcoming new businesses into the City, and said that travel is up slightly to cover increases in such things as air travel and hotel accommodations. Councilmember Wick noted the large increase in taxes and benefits and Mr. Calhoun explained that the biggest cost in payroll and benefits would be the health insurance estimate. In response to further questions from Councilmember Wick, Mr. Calhoun said that the City pays 100% of the premium for councilmembers, and in other departments,40% of the cost is covered by employees. Mr. Jackson added that the cost also depends if a Councilmember has a single or a family plan;he said other departments are not including payroll and benefits in the calculations as we know that will increase about 3 to 4%. 2. General Government Finance Director Calhoun gave a synopsis of the General Government budget,which included mention of the many nonrecurring items and mentioned the one-time transfer to the new Capital Reserve fund; he said the recurring expenses are up about 1.73% but the budget overall is down about $7+million dollars; said the general fund covers a lot of ground; he spoke of the $150,000 contingency used to finance professional services with about $85,000 committed so far; mentioned the accounting and auditing figure of$90,000 which he said is the same amount as past years; and then briefly went over the second sheet including intergovernmental services, capital outlays, debt service, and interfund payments for service, which are transfers to such things as risk management or capital projects. Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 3 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT 3.Executive and Legislative Support Mr. Jackson explained that the slight increase in professional services is to account for such things as legal consulting; and said advertising expenses are the legal notices for meetings, hearings, etc. done through the clerk's office;he noted printing and binding decreased as a result of not printing as many hard copy council agenda packets. At 11:00 a.m.,Mayor Towey called for a ten-minute break; the meeting reconvened at 11:10 a.m. 4. City Attorney/Legal Support City Attorney Driskell explained his departmental budget figures; said the outside counsel is the largest expense and they are proposing the same amount as last year; said outside counsel is used for such things as litigation connected with erotic boutiques, or to assist in the shoreline regulations. He said the 2011 and 2012 amounts were higher since we were operating with one attorney most of that time; said he feels the figures will be stable next year for most other expenses except the Spokane County GIS; said they are proposing a new program and instead of allocating that to general government, the proposal is to include this in their line item. He also referenced supplemental budget requests under Tab 12, for $2,500 to help with the legal marijuana legal issues. Also under Tab 12,Mr. Driskell explained they included$1,500 for service by publication, and explained that they are having an increase of cases involving the death of a property owner without a will or other mechanism to transfer the property, and that someone comes in and lives on the property, and said the most effective way to give notice is notice by publication. Mr. Driskell said they are also proposing an increase in filing and recording fees in anticipation of the state legislature increasing the filing fee from $240 to $290. 5. Operations and Administration Services This department includes the deputy city manager, administrative analysts, the public information officer and Human Resources; and Mr. Jackson said very little has changed in this budget, and there is one supplemental item under Tab 12 to account for a wellness grant. Councilmember Hafner asked if Mr. Jackson is planning on having a deputy city manager and if so is the idea to have someone with development experience. Mr. Jackson responded that he plans to have a deputy city manager. Concerning economic development, Mr. Jackson said he and Mr. Hohman have been working together and are proposing to use a senior planner to interface with major economic development partners, and then begin to grow that program; said the concern is when we hire someone and put them into economic development, we want to be ready to work with them and let them know what we want to do instead of having someone hired to tell us what we need; he said that program will be handled through Community Development, but we are not ready for that yet. Mr. Jackson reminded everyone that is one of the ways we operate so efficiently; that originally we were going to have someone come in and draft a plan, but instead have decided not to do that; and said we may have enough focus in a few years as we need to know how to implement a plan once we have one. Concerning Tab 12, Mr. Jackson explained that about $40,000 is being requested for doing additional mailers; that he estimated a city-wide mailing costs about $12,000, and these funds would be used for several mailers; he also noted we are publishing the Hot Topic newsletter four times a year and desire to do additional advertising other than through the typical media releases; and said we will come back to the supplemental items to determine what we want to include. 6.Human Resources Human Resources Manager Whitehead said that these figures are similar to past years and he briefly gave the budget highlights; adding that Tab 12 also shows a supplemental request for receiving grant funds for the Wellness Program,which program saves an estimated$6,000 to $8,000 annually as we are awarded a 2% reduction in premiums for those employees who select the Health First plan. Concerning increase in health premiums,he said he is researching with AWC (Association of Washington Cities)to help prepare for that added expense; and Mr. Jackson noted that any adjustment in that regard will not greatly impact the overall budget. Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 4 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT 7.Finance and Information Technology Finance Director Calhoun explained that his department includes 10.75 FTE (full time equivalent) personnel; he noted the "professional services" is the additional help desk assistance brought in,which he said varies from year to year; he said in 2012 they hired a seasonal person to perform that task. Mr. Calhoun went over the other items under his department including travel,mileage, and training,which he explained also includes training for the IT Specialists. As an example,Mr. Calhoun said that last fall one of the IT Specialists attended a class on hackers. Noted under Tab 12,he explained,is a request to hire an additional help desk technician at a cost of approximately $65,000 in the first year. Mr. Calhoun explained that we normally spend$100,000 annually for vendors to provide routine maintenance work for about 700 hours a year. Mr. Calhoun said they propose to hire a help desk technician to cover the more routine work which will free up the IT Specialists for other more technical tasks. Mr. Calhoun explained that after about the fifth year we would hit the breakeven point, assuming the vendor didn't increase their costs. He also noted that the two IT specialists are called out throughout the year, but if one person is unavailable due to absence, the work force drops by 50%. Councilmember Hafner said he likes adding personnel without adding to the expense. 8. Community Development On shown on page 1, Community Development Director Hohman said they are proposing an overall budget increase of 3.92%; said that perhaps in his zeal last year to try to free up as much funds as possible for street preservation, that there was an actual decrease from 2012 to 2013 of-3.65%. Mr. Hohman explained that some of the services provided for us by Spokane County were actually split between two budget items; said they did a three-year analysis of expenditures and with the assistance of Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka, a $20,000 shortfall was projected in the GIS services. Mr. Hohman said he hopes to come forward with a budget amendment to restore some of that. Mr. Hohman also reviewed budget items such as software licenses such as PALADIN software, which he added is anticipated to go live August 1. Under Development Engineering, he explained that he moved the supervision of the engineering tech to the people in the permit center; said he moved the Code Enforcement Officers last year into the Planning Division, but didn't increase the fuel; and said the Building Division budget decreased as other items moved to other divisions. Mr. Hohman said the new structure works well and he would like to maintain that for the ongoing future, but continue to fine-tune where needed. Mr. Hohman noted the one change not reflected is the designation of a senior planner to move into the Economic Development realm; and said once the Shoreline Master Plan gets completed, Senior Planner Lori Barlow will move into Economic Development. Mr. Hohman said he has no supplemental requests this year. The meeting recessed for lunch at noon; and Mayor Towey reconvened the meeting at approximately 12:30 p.m. 9.Public Safety Spokane Valley Police Department: Police Chief VanLeuven pointed out Addendum B in the Business Plan concerning public safety services; and said there are a number of changes in the first addendum as shown on page 115. He explained that since 2010 because of the losses agency-wide in the Sheriff's Office,there are now about sixteen people less; he explained the basic patrol as shown on pages 116-117 and said there is an average of seven to eight people working on a shift;he said about 33% of the property crimes were not investigated due to lack of staff; but there has been success in property crimes investigation due to the team and intelligent policing. He said officers pay particular attention to crimes against people, as well as property and stolen vehicle crimes; and said he and Lt. Lyons have been working with Mr.Jackson and Mr.Koudelka in performance reviews. Mr.Koudelka said the first page of the business plan (115) needs clarification as the Commissioned Officer Worksheet number includes employees for the entire Sheriff's Office; he said the ten-year history of the number of dedicated officers in Spokane Valley has remained constant. Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 5 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT Chief VanLeuven said that some of the challenges his department is experiencing this year are being experienced agency-wide; that at the end of this year about forty deputies agency-wide will be eligible for retirement and that in the next five years,that number will jump to 91; he said the challenge is when they hire a new deputy, by the time they do the initial testing, background checks, academy, and training, it actually takes about a year to get a new hire fully trained;that in the last few years he said they have hired several lateral-transfers, who are generally older and more experienced than a typical new hire; which adds to an already ageing department. Chief VanLeuven said that the position requires a lot of physical activity, and the oldest patrolman is about 65. Chief VanLeuven noted that the sheriff's office is aware that Mr. Jackson has expressed his desire to try to make sure all our Spokane Valley positions are filled; he said we have one of the best property crime units with an 85% success rate; and that they also investigate stolen vehicle thefts while some agencies don't; and he added that Spokane Valley has a high stolen-to-recovery rate. Chief VanLeuven stated that they have had success in Facebook advertising to find out who the owners are of the stolen/recovered property. Chief VanLeuven said that the false alarm policy continues to be effective and the number of registrations increase annually. Court, Jail and Other Public Safety Contracts: Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka discussed the intergovernmental services and noted costs have grown by less than 1%per year; he said they are facing many potential retirements in 2014 and as noted,the process is lengthy to get officers ready, so there will be training costs associated with that issue; he said mostly likely we will have some inflationary escalators apply and have multiple year costs that might come due in 2014, adding that there is some allowance in the contingency fund for those fluctuations. Another impact, Mr. Koudelka noted, is that some positions in the business plan, such as category 4 officer, show positions that we don't pay for; and said the one paid for by grants and seizure funds will be reduced in 2014 so those positions will move back into the shared category; and said a combination of all that leads to an increase of about 7%, or$1.3 million over the previous year's budget, including the $300,000 contingency. Mr. Koudelka explained that most allowances are in the law enforcement line item; he said at this point it is unknown how some issues will end up, such as public defender standards and other items currently in process; he said we try to be specific to capture what we believe are costs for that particular year, and when we know about carryover that might result in costs for another year,we try to separate that out to make it less confusing. There was discussion about overall public safety costs, training for the new hires, cadet salaries, keeping the same number of officers in Spokane Valley unless Council wishes to make changes; charges per commissioned officer and what that includes such as uniforms; keeping the retirement issue separate from the need for more officers; levels of service; mention that we have not cut or added officers; and the link between level of service and number of officers. City Manager Jackson mentioned as we do before adding any employee, one looks carefully before adding more personnel; he said this will be addressed in the 2015 budget as he is not fully confident about adding officers now as we need to understand more about our force and where those officers need to be and if efficiencies can be gained elsewhere. Mr. Jackson said if Council decides to add officers,we will need more time to review the issue; and said any increase in officers would be negotiated through the contract; and the Sheriff's Office would have to agree with a timeframe about when to make those additions. Chief VanLeuven reminded everyone it takes about a year to get a patrolman on board; and that lateral hires come in quicker but also come in at a higher pay scale. Mr. Jackson mentioned that the overtime goes into the cost per officer figures. Mr. Koudelka said that all the cost for commissioned officers goes into the pot and are split up, with some costs dedicated and some shared, and are split out determined by how much we use those; that overtime is a category thrown into the pot used to calculate the per officer time; that it is beneficial to us to hold down all the overtime costs for our City, but sometimes we have to pay officers overtime due to other officers being absent due to injury or illness.The question arose about the overtime costs and Mr. Jackson said he would have to research that figure. Further discussion ensued about retirements, recruiting, lead-time, costs, overall staffing, levels of service, call load and population, and of the issue of finding eligible recruits to fill positions; and that it has been ten years since we added first responder deputies. Mr. Koudelka said Chief VanLeuven is Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 6 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT working with some realtors to see what they can do to reduce the call load and take more responsibility, adding that several cities have done that; he said false alarms are another area that waste resources of our officers, and that we are conducting an exhaustive analysis of our needs. Chief VanLeuven added that they are looking at loss prevention techniques for certain locations and are examining ways to have the best efficiencies concerning how staff is used; and that they hope to bring more information to Council once that analysis is complete. Mr. Koudelka said staff has been meeting with Lt. Lyons and going through the data to make sure we have a complete understanding of all the services we receive and the information about calls and types of calls. Mr. Koudelka said they have made a lot of progress and when he gets to a point where he feels he has everything he needs, he will meet with Mr. Jackson to get direction on how and in what timeframe to proceed. Mr. Jackson said on the outside, that would occur next year, but it doesn't have to be that long and later this year discussions can begin about law enforcement;he said we need to understand the fundamentals and arrive at a decision pragmatically rather than politically, and will take a look at this in 2014. Councilmember Grafos said he wants this prior to 2014 as it will take more than a year before any action can be taken; that the issue is the timeframe to make intelligent decisions based on community, and said he would like it brought to council in a timely manner. Councilmember Woodard said he would like to see a report perhaps this fall from the loss mitigation officer on some of the projects he's working on and the results; and Chief Van Leuven said he can provide that; and that it is that officer's dedicated job to empower people through knowledge or safety tips,on how to reduce people from being victims of crime. Mr. Koudelka then reviewed the remainder of the information concerning expenses and revenues, and said that the costs for Geiger have increased significantly with several years of double digit percentage increases; that this year it was a little more controlled; but we have a large increase in the number of days we use at the jail;that in 2003 the cost per day was between $50 and$60, and now that daily cost is about $110; he said there is a settle and adjust provision for most contracts and at the end of every year they make a projection; he said the process is working better but it still gets complicated. Mr. Koudelka also noted the repairs to the precinct building and some of those improvements are noted under Tab 12. Mr. Koudelka said they are also examining the possibility of a JAG grant for this year to further enhance security at the front desk in that building,to add bullet-proof speaker boxes. 10.Parks and Recreation Parks and Recreation Director Stone went through the figures for the six divisions within his department, and said overall this results in an increase of .5% for 2014. Brown's Park and the idea of volleyball leagues was mentioned, along with the possibility of future potential for that park; and Mr. Stone said there was an increase in the public's interest in wanting to know about the facilities and programs, which cost is reflected under printing and binding. He said Mirabeau Park has other potentials for such things as a guided walking tour, geology reports, and the idea of having the various features used for educational lesson plans. Mayor Towey asked about the taxes and benefits going up while other departments have gone down, and Mr. Calhoun said he will check those figures. Mr. Stone also noted there is the potential to take the design for the Gateway and make a template for all signage for parks; he noted the recreation programs recover 100% of their costs; he said we continue to contract with the YMCA to operate the three swimming pools, and the professional services increased $4,000 from last year; that it will cost about $35,000 to re-paint the Park Road Pool and they are using new products to hopefully get ten years of use from the pool painting. Mr. Stone said the Senior Center is fairly self-explanatory as is CenterPlace; that the janitorial services cost have been the same for the last five years and the contractor does an extremely cost-effective and efficient job. Concerning advertising, Mr. Stone said they are not anticipating receiving any LTAC (lodging tax advisory committee) funds, and Mr. Jackson said there is the possibility of continuing with our past funding levels as it is an existing use, and the legal department is researching that issue. Mr. Stone noted Tab 12 contains a supplemental budget request for 50 chairs for CenterPlace; that they take out the 50 worst chairs and replace them and said they would only surplus chairs that are not repairable. There was also some discussion about gate modification at Brown's Park and other items for that park including installing between eight and twelve sand volleyball courts, replacing the restroom, and adding a picnic shelter. The Centennial Trail was briefly mentioned with Mr. Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 7 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT Stone explaining that we are responsible for maintaining about 6.5 miles of the trail, all as according to an agreement. At approximately 2:17 p.m.,Mayor Towey called for a recess;the meeting reconvened at 2:30 p.m. 11.Public Works Public Works Director Guth said that he is proposing a 1% increase for 2014; he explained that he has five divisions in three general funds and he described some of the changes, such as fuel, equipment repair and maintenance including oil changes, which were handled under different items and are being tracked individually; and tires and repairs for four+ vehicles. Mr. Guth said under Engineering and Architect, they have slated$40,000 for a consultant to assist in planning in grant engineering; that they are currently using Century West; and have $8,000 set aside for contingency for miscellaneous work not anticipated at this time. Mr. Guth said the software licenses and maintenance are related to supplemental requests adding one auto cad license; and under conference registrations, he noted a modest increase of$600 due to the cost of those conferences and training increases.He said the street fund includes traffic engineering and maintenance and said his staff is performing more in-house activities for smaller projects. There was also some discussion about wages for 2013 and that contracted drivers are paid as part of the contract. Mr. Guth said the bridge inspection report is scheduled for this fall and he anticipates spending close to what was spent in the current year. Councilmember Wick remarked that the Engineering and Architectural figure dropped about $100,000; and Mr. Guth explained that he and Mr. Koudelka have been discussing that topic; that there were some old "understandings" that have since been clarified; and that the street masterplan decreased, as it was usually budgeted $100,000 to pay for scanning, database, evaluation, and reporting; he said the streets have been scanned and the policy is now to scan the streets every two years, so that was reduced for 2014, however, he said those figures will increase again in 2015. Mr. Guth said the winter/snow services were split with about$70,000 for the Poe Contract, and$70,000 for WSDOT(Washington State Department of Transportation) for projects on Trent and Pines; and said based on last year's snowfall, he feels this was an area where they could relax a little; and said he will try this approach for a year and see how that goes. Mr. Guth also noted one of his goals is to develop a fleet management program, which includes saving some funds annually for future vehicle replacement. Councilmember Hafner noted it appears there are no school beacons for this year and Mr. Guth concurred; and said the school zone beacons are in the capital fund and said we have matching funds for that. Mr. Jackson said that perhaps Mr. Calhoun can research that, adding that perhaps this would be a nonrecurring activity. Mr. Calhoun said we have not yet applied for the grant associated with the beacons, but that he will research that issue. Mr. Guth said the Stormwater Division had mostly modest changes from the previous year; and said he noted an error under IT support under"other services" as the $10,000 needs to be changed to $7500. Mr. Guth also spoke about the stormwater maintenance funds which includes Poe Contract as well as landscaping, vactoring and sweeping, plus about a 10% contingency; figures under the shop include charges for oil changes and miscellaneous repairs which were not previously charged under that category. Mr. Guth noted the repair and maintenance of the Euclid Facility is split 50/50 with the stormwater fund. As shown under Tab 12, Mr. Guth said they are requesting a new position, which would be a full time planning and grants engineer, funded 37.5% from the general fund, and 37.5% from the street fund, and 25% from the stormwater fund; he said we currently try for grants for most of our projects and that we contract out a great deal of this with Century West, who provides us with an engineer who comes to our office two days a week and uses our computer, work station, and whom we pay $80,000 a year for that service. Mr. Guth said that person does an excellent job but many times there are questions or issues associated with his service that arise during the other three days of the week. Mr. Guth said he feels with the current workload, a full time position would be beneficial, and the difference in cost would be minimal; he said he feels we could hire someone for about $100,000 a year to work full time, for five days a week, compared with the $80,000 we currently pay a year for someone to work two days a week; Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 8 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT he said he does not foresee the grant environment slowing, and there would be plenty for that person to do in applying for,researching, and managing our grants. Other issues Mr. Guth addressed included the proposal to add one auto cad license and change the stand- alone license to a network license for greater flexibility; the proposed purchase of 1.5 pickups as they currently have three vehicles shared among twelve people; under Tab 12 to include a hawk signal at Splash Down on Mission Park and to purchase a VMS Trailer. Mr. Guth explained that a VMS trailer is a variable messaging system; that we currently spend about $15,000 annually on these signs and he proposed to buy one in 2014 and one in 2015, and said they are safety issues as having a sign saves having to pay a contractor to provide the signs. Deputy Mayor Schimmels asked if we expect to increase support staff at the decant facility, and Mr. Guth replied that we do not. City Manager Jackson reminded everyone that these issues are for discussions as Mr. Calhoun will advise whether we can afford the desired items. Discussion included the desire and importance of maintaining our buildings; positive reactions to the Hawk Signal as well as to the idea of hiring a full time employee for less than the cost of contracting even though at some point, the employee will cost more than the contract; some voiced the opinion of the benefits of contracting versus hiring as if the economy were to slow down, we would not want to have to lay off any employees, while contracts can be negotiated; and mention from Mr. Woodard that he would still like to have an eventual discussion on the long-range goals for snow plows, and said he'd rather have more contracts than employee increases. 12. Supplemental Budget Requests Discussion of the overall budget requests and changes included mention that a full-time grant engineer costs $20,000 more than a contracted engineer, but the contractor would only work two days compared with the full-time employee working five days a week; mention that one of the reasons for the high cost of the police precinct maintenance is due to the concrete floor; Councilmember Hafner stated his concern with replacing 50 chairs in Parks and Recreation; some questioned the priority of Brown's Park volleyball courts; it was felt further explanation was needed for the VMS Trailer, and Mr. Guth explained that the device provides notice to the public about upcoming road closures,cleanings, etc and can be programmed to use as a traffic device. Concerning the grants engineer position, Councilmember Woodard stated that he has been anti-grant since he came on the Council and said at some point there won't be money for grants, or we'll get to the point where we won't like all the stipulations that come with grants. Mr. Guth added that this individual would do most of their own administrative work so the cost would be just the salary and benefits for the person. Concerning capital projects, Mr. Jackson said Council will have another opportunity for discussion when the budget is brought forward, and said it will be important at that time to discuss other recurring costs. Mr. Calhoun distributed copies of an updated sheet for street preservation,which he said would be discussed later. 13.Potential Capital Projects City Manager Jackson said that this includes projects that staff or Council has brought up over the last few months, such as the Sullivan Bridge or Barker Road Grade Separation; and said these two issues are placing an immediate demand on the City's cash; and after going over the list, Mr. Jackson asked for Council comments or concerns. Councilmember Wick asked about the previous idea of partnering with Liberty Lake for a gateway sign; and Mr. Jackson said funding would be an issue and an option would be to reduce the fund balance; and Mr. Calhoun also noted the funds might be taken from the general fund reserves. Councilmember Wick also mentioned the former Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee's idea of promoting access to the River and improving trailheads. Mr. Jackson and Mr. Hohman both agreed that as we work through the shoreline program, the public access plan could be discussed further. Councilmember Woodard asked about park signs, and Mr. Jackson replied that we currently have a 55% ending fund balance, and we could use some of those funds and reduce the balance slightly. Other projects discussed included building a city hall and converting our lease payments. Councilmembers were then asked to place colored dots on the chart on the wall to indicate project priority.

It was also mentioned that Council previously decided not to proceed with the quiet zones. Concerning the prioritized projects listed above, Mr. Jackson said staff will work to put together funding options and said these will be a work in progress. Recurring general fund expenditures were discussed and Mr. Jackson said if the desire is to add peace officers in the future, we need to start to build capacity for that into the general fund; he said we can't spend everything in 2014 and we need to be very careful when it comes to adding programs and/or services; and said now is the time to start thinking about that and put it all into perspective as there is a limited capacity in the general fund for recurring expenses. Mr. Calhoun also briefly mentioned cost of any future bond payments. Mr. Jackson and Calhoun reminded everyone that these figures are projections and assumptions but we have to have a starting point; with Mr. Jackson noting we must be very cautious when it comes to recurring expenses and to think very hard about law enforcement; that we need to manage our general fund very carefully to handle the priorities we already have; he said staff will continue to refine this and will schedule other meetings concerning the budget, with the entire budget scheduled to come before Council September 14. 14.Financial Objectives In the interest of time,this item was not specifically addressed. BRAINSTORMING: The following ideas were mentioned and briefly discussed: 1. Solid waste 2.Add 2012 actual to general fund summary 3. Public safety efficiency 4. Economic development—discuss partners—City Role 5. Public Safety—anticipate cost 6. Street preservation—long term funding 7. Consider 1%property tax 8. Sustainability 9.Work within our mean 10.Basic services 11.Freshen advertising—public safety—roads 12. Common sense level of service 13. Land(park) acquisition Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 10 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT General closing comments included Councilmember Grafos expressing his appreciation to Mr. Calhoun for his work and that he would like to see a column of the 2012 actual expenses in front of the 2013 budget; he said if we added the actual wages and benefits to each department under each heading, we could see at a glance a more clear entire budget picture. Councilmember Wick said the biggest item is public safety; adding that we don't want to lose sight of the goals of the Ad Hoc Economic Development Committee. Councilmember Higgins mentioned the need to be "in front of the curve" when it comes to public safety due to the anticipated lead-time in adding personnel. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he feels Council needs to look at allowed property tax, and if council wants more services, the 1% property tax might be an option. Mayor Towey stated he feels while all the ideas are good, the most important job this Council has is to make sure of the sustainability of this City and how we handle services to the citizens and at what level, and to have a philosophy to make sure our programs are sustainable. Councilmember Hafner added that he feels sometimes the most difficult thing is to come up with ideas for our City, and to spend money within our means, to keep the 50% fund balance and continue to provide basic services; to fund projects that we can afford and maintain; and to advertise the City more often. Councilmember Woodard said our advertising needs to include specific things unique to Spokane Valley, such as no parking meters, and reduced crime; and that we have never had a reduction of service. Mr. Jackson said he is working with MBI on advertising and taking some of their advice on how long these ads should run; while working on new ads for permitting, public safety and roads, and said it might be possible to add in the free parking. Councilmember Wick asked about the park master plan and potential land acquisition. Mr. Stone said he plans to have the Park Master Plan available for Council review in August or September. There being no further business,the meeting was adjourned at 4:30 p.m. ATTEST: Thomas E.Towey,Mayor Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk Workshop minutes:June 18,2013 Page 11 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT MINUTES SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING STUDY SESSION FORMAT Spokane Valley City Hall Council Chambers Spokane Valley,Washington July 2,2013 6:00 p.m. Attendance: Councilmembers Staff Tom Towey,Mayor Mike Jackson,City Manager Gary Schimmels,Deputy Mayor Cary Driskell, City Attorney Dean Grafos,Councilmember Erik Lamb,Deputy City Attorney Chuck Hafner, Councilmember Mark Calhoun,Finance Director Rod Higgins, Councilmember Mike Stone,Parks&Recreation Director Ben Wick, Councilmember Eric Guth,Public Works Director Arne Woodard, Councilmember John Hohman, Community Development Dir Scott Kuhta,Planning Manager Carolbelle Branch,Public Information Officer Carrie Koudelka,Deputy City Clerk Mayor Towey called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Roll Call: Deputy City Clerk Koudelka called the roll: all councilmembers were present.It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to approve the amended agenda. ACTION ITEM: 1.Bettman-Dickey Stormwater Project: Eric Guth It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to award the Bettman-Dickey Stormwater Upgrade Project to Cat's Eye Excavating, Inc. in the amount of$164,000.95 and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the construction contract. Public Works Director Guth explained the project is to address local flooding issues to include bio-swales and dry wells. He said the project was advertised for two weeks and six bids were received and opened Friday, June 28, 2013. The low bidder was Cat's Eye Excavating and the bids ranged up to $317,000.00; the engineer's estimate was $251,309.00 so the bidder was below our estimate and within the budgeted amount for the project. There were no questions or comments from Council. The Mayor invited public comment; no comments were given. Vote by acclamation:In favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. NON-ACTION ITEMS: 2. Solid Waste Management Update—Eric Guth Public Works Director Guth said HDR Engineering is the consultant conducting the study for Solid Waste Transfer and Disposal Options for Spokane, Spokane County, Spokane Valley, and other cities and towns in Spokane County. He said the team met with the consultant last month to discuss the scope of work and the information needed to develop a regional plan. He said the consultant is working on cost center descriptions and the two aspects to the study are the transfer of waste and the disposal of waste.Mr. Guth directed Council to the exhibits in their agenda packets and discussed the cost center descriptions and transfer and disposal options. Transfer Center Option 1: Spokane Valley and Spokane County purchase the Colbert and Valley Transfer Stations and contract for the operations of both facilities. Councilmember Woodard asked when we conducted the appraisals. City Manager Jackson said the appraisals are about a year old and the numbers Council Study Session Minutes 07-02-2013 Page 1 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT on the exhibit sheets are not the actual or negotiated numbers, but are presented for worksheet purposes only. Transfer Option 2: Spokane Valley and Spokane County build new transfer stations rather than using existing sites and contract for the operations of the transfer stations. Transfer Option 3: If Spokane Valley and Spokane County do not haul waste to the Waste-to-Energy Plant, this option is to build a transfer station on the West Plains. He said this is something the County would need and because it is a regional system, it would be a cost to the system. Councilmember Wick asked if there would be a single contract for operations of both sites or if they might be separate contracts. Mr. Guth said we are looking at just one contract but we may have the option to break it into two contracts for the different facilities.He said it is early yet and they are keeping all options open. Disposal Option 1: This option looks at disposal at the Waste to Energy plant if Spokane gives the transfer station to Spokane Valley and Spokane County at a nominal fee with a contract to haul waste to the Waste-to-Energy plant for a determined length of time. There would be a negotiated cost for disposal and a term commitment. Disposal Option 2: This option considers truck long haul to a regional landfill and the consultant is looking at four regional landfill options. Councilmember Woodard said we should include Kootenai County landfill as one of our disposal options. Disposal Option 3: This option is for rail long haul to a regional landfill using BNSF as the receiving intermodal yard. Disposal Option 4: Spokane Valley and Spokane County would contract for rail long haul to a regional landfill using the proposed Geiger Spur Intermodal Yard. Mr. Guth informed Council that August 28, 2013,is a joint meeting with the team at which the consultant will give a presentation as to cost centers and options. City Manager Jackson said throughout this process the consultant will provide information and staff may need to get the information to Council immediately because we are moving at an accelerated pace. He said there may be an occasion that we need to call a special meeting to go over the information with Council and asks that Council be flexible through the process. 3. Comprehensive Plan 2014 Revisions—Scott Kuhta Planning Manager Kuhta said tonight is the first look at the potential docket for the 2014 Comprehensive Plan amendment process. He said the deadline to receive privately initiated proposals is November 1, 2013, and we have not received any yet. He said the City has no site-specific initiated amendment proposals either, only text amendments. He said that except for Chapter 11, each section listed references the removal of"City Center" language as requested by Council. He said many of the remaining proposed changes are updates we do annually and said if Council has any to add, staff will look at those as well. Councilmember Wick said he does not want to see the "City Center" language go away. Councilmember Grafos said market forces will develop a city center in time and he said he does not believe Spokane Valley should be in the business of picking winners and losers in the corridor. Mayor Towey inquired as to the process for bringing amendment proposals to Council; Mr. Kuhta and City Manager Jackson said staff will present the docket to Council two more times before the cut-off date in November. 4.Manufactured Home Zoning—Scott Kuhta Planning Manager Kuhta said that on February 26, 2013, Community Director Hohman and City Attorney Driskell presented information about the Tumwater ordinance that restricts manufactured homes Council Study Session Minutes 07-02-2013 Page 2 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT to manufactured home park areas.He said Council expressed their desire to talk with manufactured home park owners and said staff is developing a process to do that and to coincide with the Comprehensive Plan Amendment process, the deadline is November 1, 2013. He said they will mail a questionnaire and depending on the feedback, make personal contact to the owners, then draft a memo with staff findings and report back to Council for direction.It was the consensus of Council to proceed with this proposal. 5.Initiative 502 Update—Erik Lamb Deputy Attorney Lamb said he updated Council on May 14, 2013 on the City's regulatory authority over recreational and medical marijuana and at that time, Council expressed their desire to wait for more information from the State before determining what direction to pursue. Mr. Lamb said that in late May, the Liquor Control Board issued initial proposed draft rules for recreational marijuana and they had sought extensive public input and held a work session in mid-June. On June 10, 2013,the Liquor Control Board released a new timeline for implementation of the new rules. He said the new draft rules will be released on July 3, 2013; a public hearing will be held on August 7, 2013; the rules will be adopted on August 14, 2013; and applications for all license types will be accepted beginning September 14, 2013 when the rules become effective. Mr. Lamb said that Spokane Valley has received four calls requesting information as to where recreational locations can be sited and staff is analyzing our current zoning regulations. Under the current law, recreational marijuana facilities are not allowed within 1,000 feet of schools, day care facilities or in residential areas. He said once we have the official draft rules from the State, we will have more clarity to put together a zoning map. He asked Council for direction as to any possible additional regulations they want to consider and said that if we do nothing, recreational marijuana facilities will not be allowed in residential zones and a 1,000-foot buffer for sensitive uses, such as schools,would be required under state law. Councilmember Woodard said he would like to move cautiously and systematically. Councilmember Higgins asked if we have an update as to what the federal government is doing. Mr. Lamb said we do not know what will happen at the federal level and that Washington state will be test case. There was no objection from Council for Mr. Lamb to present Council with a zoning map when we receive the new rules. 6.Advance Agenda—Mayor Towey: No comments. 7. Information Only: The Sullivan Road Bridge Overlay Project, State Adopted Building Code, School Zone Flashing Beacons, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of 5-23-2013, Department Reports and Intergovernmental Purchasing Agreement were for information only and were not reported on or discussed. 8. Council Check in — Mayor Towey: Mayor Towey reminded everyone of the Citizen Recognition Program and said that applications are due this Friday. He also reminded everyone of the Greenacres Fourth of July celebration with a kid's parade, prizes and a petting zoo from 9:45a.m. to 3:00 pm on the corner of Boone and Long. He also mentioned the City's photo and video contest and said the deadline for applications is July 31,2013. 9. City Manager Comments—Mike Jackson City Manager Jackson said the State Legislature approved their budget last Friday and they will retain a portion of the liquor revenue that would have been directed to the City. He said the potential reduction to the City will likely be a $75,000—$147,000 impact to our 2014 budget. He said he and Finance Director Calhoun will look at programs to decide what to eliminate in the 2014 budget. Mr. Calhoun said prior to the actions of the 2012 legislature, the City's liquor excise tax revenue was approximately $460,000.00. He said the 2012 legislature reduced that by $164,000.00 to our city leaving $294,000.00 which is the number he included in the 2014 budget. He said now that number may have been reduced again by about fifty percent, or the $147,000.00 City Manager Jackson referenced, but it could be as much as seventy- five percent. He said we are waiting for MRSC (Municipal Research Services Center) to come out with Council Study Session Minutes 07-02-2013 Page 3 of 4 Approved by Council: DRAFT their 2014 Budget Suggestions Guide with their best estimate of the per capita distribution for taxes and he said their estimates tend to be pretty accurate. City Manager Jackson said that Human Resource Manager Whitehead has finalized a tourism mobile application that will be released on Google and Mr. Whitehead will give Council a presentation at the July 16,2013 meeting. 10.Executive Session: IRCW 42.30.110(1)(g)] Review Performance of Public Employee It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn into Executive Session for approximately forty-five minutes to review the performance of a public employee and that no action will be taken upon return to open session. Council adjourned into Executive Session at 6:50 p.m. At approximately 7:49 p.m.,Mayor Towey declared Council out of Executive Session, after which it was moved by Councilmember Wick, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

Senior Planner Basinger explained that there have been no changes to the ordinance since the first reading. Mayor Council Regular Meeting 07-09-2013 Page 2 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation to approve the ordinance:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 3. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 13-009,Zoning Map, Comprehensive Plan—Mike Basinger After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to approve Ordinance 13-009. Senior Planner Basinger explained that there have been no changes to the ordinance since the first reading, and that this is the accompanying ordinance which amends the official zoning map. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation to approve the ordinance:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 4.Motion Consideration: Sullivan Rd. Bridge Overlay Project—Steve Worley It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to award the bid for the Sullivan Road Bridge Southbound(#4507) Over UPRR Tracks Overlay Project #0175 to MJ Hughes Construction, Inc., in the amount of$148,873.00 and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the construction contract. Speaking for Mr. Worley, Public Works Director Guth said this is a request to approve a bid to put in a new surface on the southbound bridge over the Union Pacific Railroad on Sullivan; that the bid opening was held June 28 and we received three bids, with MJ Hughes coming in as the low bidder. Mayor Towey invited public comment;no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 5.Motion Consideration: Intergovernmental Purchasing Contract with Washington State—Cary Driskell It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the Master Contract Usage Agreement with the State of Washington. City Attorney Driskell explained that he came before Council last March asking for a six-month agreement with the understanding the State was re-vamping their interlocal purchasing program; and said this new contract is more simplified. Mr. Driskell also explained that the State formerly charged a$2,000 annual fee for these contracts,but they eliminated that and instead have rolled that cost into each contract, so the percentage is .74%, which saves us money as if we calculated the new rate compared with the $2,000 old rate, we would have to spend about $270,000 in contracts, and said he is not aware we have spent that in the past. Mr. Driskell said we use this contract to purchase such things as school beacons,or IT equipment. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited public comments. Mr. Lynn Plaggemeier, 11708 E 19th, 927-8388,made the following comments: (1)concerning the paving on Pines Highway 27, said when you get to 16th there are two triangle pieces of ground that always look ratty; said it is not a good presentation of the city and he would like the engineering staff to talk to the state and the county and before the paving gets up that far, to drive a couple conduits under the pavement for future landscaping, and suggested having volunteers like scouts, seniors, or schools take part in developing those islands. (2)He explained that he took his car into a garage on Sprague and left it to get it fixed and got a call that the car was vandalized; he asked the owners if they reported it to the police and was told no because the police won't do anything anyway and they don't respond. He said he didn't like that answer so he called the police and they did come;he said he spoke to a different car garage across the street and they had some vandalism too, and he asked if they reported it and was told no because that it would have been a waste of time; he recommended that the city start doing some PR work to get information to citizens to report these things, and said it appears there is some disconnect between what we are doing and what Spokane does. (3) He said that three or four months ago he asked about getting contract deficiencies on Sprague between Evergreen and Sullivan repaired and was eventually called back by city staff who said they were working on it; said he called back a few months later and was told they didn't have any dates to fix the problem; said he'd like Council to ask staff for a date when those deficiencies will get fixed. (4) He mentioned some photos he gave the Clerk to distribute to Council; Council Regular Meeting 07-09-2013 Page 3 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT said the corner of Pines and Sprague where Denny's is located, that the cold mix asphalt is up the sidewalk about 250' and is a slipping hazard; said he called on this about three or four weeks ago and tried to find answers, and sometimes he was told it was a state problem and other times was told it was a city problem; said he if you drive north on Pines on the right lane you'd go through this,and said this is an extreme hazard. He said there needs to be better coordination on these issues. (5)He mentioned two steel plates on Mission which he said he discovered were put in by a job by the city; and (6) said that two or three months he ago asked to get paragraph #30 or 32 of the Sheriffs Office contract modified to eliminate the portion where our chief had to get authorization for press releases. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: 6. Sign Code Revisions—John Hohman Via his PowerPoint presentation, Community Development Director Hohman went through the proposed changes for the sign regulations, and showed and explained the proposed changes in the text: page 1 includes "reader boards" as an exception to prohibited portable signs; section D on pages 2 and 3 discusses engineer requirements for any sign over 30'; and he noted the last newly added sentence of "Where special conditions exist for any type of sign, the Building Official is authorized to require additional construction documents . . if deemed necessary." Mr. Hohman said this suggests some discretion is permitted,but not in all cases. Page 4 includes some minor edits changing"must"to"shall." Mr. Hohman said that 22.110.050 Temporary Signs's existing language included many restrictions,but he said staff didn't have the ability to enforce it all so some of the restrictive language was omitted and the section streamlined. Mr. Hohman said the Planning Commission had a lot of discussion with this section and how many signs would be considered too many; he said the heart of the issue is that most businesses are allowed a free-standing sign, and the intent of the changes shown on page 5 is to provide flexibility; that businesses will be allowed not more than two of the types of signs listed under new 22.110.050 A(1, 2, and 3). Mr. Hohman recommended Council consider this issue, adding that citizens have not voiced concerning regarding this issue. After Mr. Hohman went over the remainder of the proposed changes, there was some discussion about adding language to further clarify each hyperlinked code section; and on page 8, it was suggested to add the word "landscaping" to 22.110.090F, at the end of the sentence, immediately after 22.070.030(J). There was also discussion concerning the number of permitted temporary signs, with the majority of Council agreeing with the change to allow up to two instead of just one, temporary sign as noted in 22.110.050 new section A. Mayor Towey asked if there were any objections to staff bringing this to Council for a first reading July 23, and no objections were raised. At 7:37 p.m.Mayor Towey called for a short recess;he reconvened the meeting at 7:49 p.m. 7. Residential Land Inventory Analysis—Mike Basinger Senior Planner Basinger explained the methodology developed by the Washington State Department of Commerce as a basis to determine developable land in the low-density residential category; he went over the figures contained in his Request for Council Action form, and he discussed the vacant parcels and partially used parcels as shown on the accompanying map. After several Council questions concerning the number of developments and demand per year, Mr. Basinger said with the recent past dissolution of the Boundary Review Board, staff has been thinking about and researching how to promote in-fill development including examining our annexation policies and processes. The question arose about how many sewered residential properties we have and Mr. Basinger said he will research that information. 8. Industrial Land Inventory Analysis—Mike Basinger Concerning the industrial land inventory, Mr. Basinger explained about the process used here as well as the number of vacant areas; he said he intends to bring Council further analysis at the July 30 Council meeting. Mr. Basinger noted that as on the previous agenda item map, wetlands and critical areas were not included in the analysis. Mr. Basinger also noted staff is coordinating and collaborating on this issue with Spokane County. Council Regular Meeting 07-09-2013 Page 4 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT 9.Appleway Trail Project- Steve Worley Speaking for Mr. Worley; as noted in the Request for Council Action form, Public Works Director Guth explained the possible federal funding from SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council) for the Appleway Trail Project; said our grant application requested $2.2 million to construct the two-mile trail from University to Evergreen; and that we have the opportunity to receive $642,852 in TA (Transportation Alternatives) funds; he said we could modify the project or do the project in phases; he said University to Evergreen is the entire project, and the logical midpoint would be to Pines Road. Mr. Guth said they asked the consultant to estimate the cost for that portion, and the figure given was $941,000; and said we would also need matching funds or other grant funds of about $340,000. Another option, Mr. Guth said would be for us to help support that difference. Mr. Guth said the issue is whether to accept the $642,000 in TA funds offered and commit to funding the remaining match; and said the decision on whether to accept those funds for the Appleway Trail is necessary for the SRTC Board to make their final project selection at their meeting in two days. Mr. Jackson said this comes down to a matter of choice, build the projects already discussed and scheduled such as the volleyball courts or development of the new Balfour park, or take this $642,000 at the cost of some other project. Mr. Guth said he recommends accepting the $642,000 and allow staff to look for other funding going forward; and said the timeline we face is 2017, and that the project could be amended. Mr. Jackson said the worst case scenario is we would have to come up with $340,000; he said he feels there is an excellent opportunity between now and 2017 to raise some additional funds, or use this as leverage to complete the entire project, adding that we would have to look at the capital reserve fund if that were the case and there is already a large demand on those funds. Mayor Towey asked if there were objections to proceed as Mr. Guth suggested and no objections were raised. 10.Advance Agenda—Mayor Towey There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda. INFORMATION ONLY Item #11, TIB Grant Requests, and item #12, Planning Commission Meeting Minutes of June 13,2013,were for information only and were not reported or discussed. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS City Manager Jackson had no comments. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:28 p.m. ATTEST: Thomas E.Towey,Mayor Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk Council Regular Meeting 07-09-2013 Page 5 of 5 Approved by Council: DRAFT MINUTES SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL REGULAR MEETING STUDY SESSION FORMAT Spokane Valley City Hall Council Chambers Spokane Valley,Washington July 16,2013 6:00 p.m. Attendance: Councilmembers Staff Tom Towey,Mayor Mike Jackson,City Manager Gary Schimmels,Deputy Mayor Cary Driskell, City Attorney Dean Grafos,Councilmember Erik Lamb,Deputy City Attorney Chuck Hafner, Councilmember Mark Calhoun,Finance Director Rod Higgins, Councilmember Mike Stone,Parks&Recreation Director Ben Wick, Councilmember Eric Guth,Public Works Director Arne Woodard, Councilmember John Hohman,Community Development Dir Steve Worley, Senior Engineer Carolbelle Branch,Public Information Officer Chris Bainbridge,City Clerk Mayor Towey called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m. Roll Call: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present. Mayor Towey announced that there will be an Executive Session after tonight's open meeting. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to approve the amended agenda. Presentations: July Community Recognition: Mayor Towey announced that July's recipient of the Key and Certificate is Mary Pollard, nominated by City Attorney Cary Driskell. As noted on Mr. Driskell's nomination form, Mayor Towey read that "Mary is a community activist, and also instrumental in the siting and design of the City's new Greenacres park. Mary has also been a key component of the Greenacres neighborhood group organizing the family-fun July 4th event that puts a heavy emphasis on games where kids have fun while being active." City Attorney Driskell remarked that he is impressed with the amount of energy Mary has poured into the neighborhood group in helping to design the park; and that she also put a tremendous amount of energy into the 4th of July event, and said he took his entire family to last year's event. Mayor Towey presented the Key and Certificate to Mary Pollard,who accepted it with thanks;Ms. Pollard said she prefers to refer to herself as an advocate rather than an activist; and she thanked the members of the neighborhood group for their work. Wellness Award: Mayor Towey presented the Well-City Award plaque to Human Resources Manager John Whitehead; Mayor Towey said out of the 291 cities throughout Washington, Spokane Valley was one of 84 cities to receive this recognition; he said it also represents a 2% discount in premiums for 2014, or an $8,000 annual savings; he said our City has received this for the last three years so we have recognized $24,000 in savings; and he again extended thanks to Mr. Whitehead and to Human Resources Technician Lindsey Skinfill. Human Resources Manager Whitehead extended his appreciation for the support of the City Manager and others who helped the City attain this recognition, and he acknowledged and thanked the work of the committee, which includes Lori Barlow, Ryan Kipp, Dan Domrese, Chris Berg, and Brittani DeBoise, and he gave special thanks to Lindsey Skinfill who he said, is very creative Council Study Session Minutes 07-16-2013 Page 1 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT and kept everyone motivated. Mr. Whitehead said each year we took a step up to the next level and this award is the highest level of excellence. 1. Spokane Valley Mobile App Demonstration—John Whitehead Human Resources Manager Whitehead explained that with the assistance of our IT staff, the City's mobile app has been launched; he went over some of the features of the app, including the ease of navigation and access; and said that some of the aspects connected with the app are still being improved. After Mr.Whitehead's demonstration, Councilmember Wick suggested Mr.Whitehead contact the Valley Business Association and the Chamber of Commerce to take advantage of some advertising. 2. Public Works Capital Projects Update—Eric Guth Public Works Director Guth said this presentation is similar to and an update of what he presented to Council May 21, and said the hope is to come before Council about every six weeks to give an update on projects. Mr. Guth mentioned that although the sidewalk infill project shown on slide 5 indicates the project is complete, he said the shoulders of the road are gravel and said we are in the process of getting those paved within the next few weeks. Mr. Guth continued explaining the projects as shown on the various slides, noting which were complete and which have been postponed. Councilmember Woodard mentioned the high effectiveness of the full reflective posts on signs and asked if the plan is to cover all sign poles in a similar manner. Mr. Guth said he will research that question. 3. TIB (Transportation Improvement Board) Grant Requests—Eric Guth Senior Engineer Worley explained that the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) has issued another call for projects for allocation of Urban Arterial Program (UAP) and Urban Sidewalk Program (SP) funding; and said the applications are due the end of August. Mr. Worley said that the TIB has completely changed their scoring criteria this year and it is now performed in bands that emphasize safety, growth and development,physical condition, and mobility. He explained that previously a project would need to score well across several categories in order to rank well; but under the new criteria, a project that scores well in one particular category could be selected. Mr. Worley summarized the preliminary list of projects as shown on his July 16, 2013 Request for Council Action form. Mr. Worley also noted other projects evaluated and considered including the Sprague Avenue Lane Reduction, Argonne Road to Park Road, and Barker Road improvements, McDonald restriping to three-lanes, and State Route 27/16th and Pines Roundabout. Mr.Worley invited Council comments. Deputy Mayor Schimmels asked if any or the schools are without sidewalks and Mr. Worley replied that several don't have sidewalks that lead up to the school, although most have sidewalks around the property; and said he received a comment today asking about getting sidewalks in the area of Bowdish from 8th to 12th. Mr. Worley said staff has submitted these projects under other grant programs but thus far have not been successful. Discussion included which projects might be funded; which might be more critical; whether to move forward on the Sprague Lane reduction and if so, staff would need to get cost estimates; that the Sprague Lane reduction as well as other projects might take a few years to complete. Councilmember Grafos said he feels it should be a priority but staff still needs to address it in the most feasible way. Councilmember Wick said different business owners say frontage is everything; and he suggests more discussion before making a commitment, and City Manager Jackson said we need to know the condition of the road and asked if we can wait a couple of years to do the overlay. Mr. Worley replied that the condition of the road is not "that great" and is a prime candidate for overlay; but if we wait too long it will fall below preservation; he said Sprague is the largest arterial for preservation, and this section between Park and Vista was the last section to do; if we did it this year, he said we would finish the federally funded projects next year and would have the entire Sprague resurfaced within the last four years,which he said is one of Council's desires. Councilmember Grafos suggested doing all the work on Sprague at the same time in order to be less disruptive to the businesses; and Councilmember Woodard added that perhaps we could do some work this year and some work such as landscaping the following Council Study Session Minutes 07-16-2013 Page 2 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT year; said he feels that section is important. Mr. Jackson asked if we decided to pursue Sprague, how would that rank. Mr. Worley said in checking with the TIB staff regarding the new criteria,he has asked for more information on what safety factors they are looking at and if this improvement is made, will those improvements address the safety factors criteria; and said he has not received that information yet but hopes to have it before next Tuesday's Council meeting when this topic is scheduled for a motion. Concerning the Appleway Trail, Mr. Worley said that project would not qualify under either the SP or UAP program. Mr. Guth said it is also below our other two projects on the list; he said TIB values safety first and they look at improving complete streets with sidewalks and curbs, and said this would be a lane reduction that already has many of those safety features. It was also noted that the City's match on TIB funded projects is typically 20% of the total project cost, and that right-of-way is not an eligible cost for sidewalk projects. Mr. Jackson said staff will get additional information and come back with options for Council consideration. At 7:26 p.m.Mayor Towey called for a ten-minute recess;the meeting was reconvened at 7:39 p.m. 4. Communications Franchise,Zayo Renewal—Cary Driskell City Attorney Driskell said that in July of 2003, the City granted a ten-year franchise to Columbia Fiber; he said that this is a replacement franchise as Columbia sold their interest to Zayo; he said this would also be a ten year franchise with many of the same terms; that there have been some updates to reflect what we have done in other franchises, and he noted under Section 4 the City negotiated for the right to use up to four dark fibers or two pair,to be used solely for municipal purposes. Mr. Driskell said we will also have the route map available for next week at the proposed first reading. There was consensus from council to move this forward to a first reading July 23. 5. City Hall Concepts—John Hohman Community Development Director Hohman introduced Mr. Doug Mitchell and Ms. Marian Evenson of MMEC Architects, who he said have been retained to update the 2008 City Hall Space Analysis, and to develop concepts using existing available structures as well as undeveloped properties. Mr. Hohman said they used the 2008 study as the basis for their work, but used different assumptions since the economy has changed since 2008. Mr. Hohman said MMEC also reviewed our existing space; he said they did not look at parking, but as was noted in the February retreat, they examined the idea of locating the police precinct building with city hall. Ms. Evenson explained that the 2008 report wasn't a waste of effort as it included good information; but said that report did not analyze the existing space including shared space; she said as they examined existing versus new space, using the existing space enabled them to understand the needs; and therefore said their document is more of an addendum to the 2008 document. She said they conducted discussions with the department heads to see where growth is headed, and said she feels it is minimal as no one is asking for additional people; she explained that there was more growth anticipated in 2008,but feels their report is more realistic of how Spokane Valley might grow. She explained that they anticipate a city hall would need 44,213 square feet; a future police precinct would need 27,224 square feet as the current precinct lacks things like front door security, and suggested it would be more secure if they had a bigger lobby; and said they also need more conference room space, and larger locker rooms. As shown on the PowerPoint slides, Mr. Hohman explained that a combined City Hall and Police Precinct would require 71,500 square feet; and he went over the space needs broken down by department. Ms. Evenson added that if the two buildings were combined, one of the reasons more space would be required is because the police would actually take up more room because of their vehicles.Mr. Hohman added that City Hall and the Police Precinct would also have separate uses and separate security needs. Mr. Mitchell said that the police would need more security and they don't want a lot of windows,but windows would be desired for a City Hall; that the precinct would need high security, and while there are some benefits to co-locating, he said he feels there is no real benefit to co-locate in the same building. Council Study Session Minutes 07-16-2013 Page 3 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT Mr. Hohman went over the property evaluation figures as shown on slide 6, and said of the available developed and undeveloped properties within the city, they initially established a list of 21 possible locations, and that list was then reduced to six representative locations. Ms. Evenson said the biggest thing that would affect growth would be expanded services; if you provide more services, you will need more space. Mr. Jackson said the space study shows the assumptions, adding that it is sometimes hard to do assumptions; he said if we decide to build a city hall,we would come back and look at space needs; he said twenty years from now a different council and staff would have different needs; we want to make sure we have enough space to accommodate reasonable additions over time. Councilmember Grafos said if security is the downside to having the two buildings combined, there could be separate entrances; and said it would be a benefit overall concerning cost, to have them together. Mr. Mitchell agreed there is nothing wrong in putting the two together; he said the existing facility isn't bad,which he said is more to do with the reason why they didn't look at every scenario; that the existing facility could use some modifications to make it function even better. Ms. Evenson added that a lot of smaller communities combine them; she said this precinct is better than those smaller cities; and that mostly it would be a perception of coming to the City Hall versus coming to a Police Precinct. The question arose concerning the projection time the consultants are considering, and Ms. Evenson explained that they are looking out five years into the future as that is much more clear than trying to look out twenty years since the city has a five-year history upon which to review, and said they feel their estimates are conservative yet close to an actual need. Mr. Jackson added that over our first ten years we have remained fairly stable at 85 employees; he said he is comfortable with these numbers and feels they would be good for at least fifteen to twenty years; and said any city hall should be built to serve the community for the next hundred years and if anything,perhaps at the most, another 10% could be added to these figures. The six representative sites were discussed along with the benefits of each site Mr. Mitchell explained that option 2 uses the old Crescent Building, which has 100,000 square feet and could accommodate a city hall and a police precinct; but he added that some of the other sites could accommodate both; he said this site is about six acres and discussion would have to be held about the logistics, whether to have the police on the first floor or in the back of the first floor,with City hall on the second floor or in front of the building, or other combinations. Mr. Mitchell said the "East of University Option 3" would not work to include a police department as the acreage is too tight. Option 4, Mr. Mitchell said, is the former Yokes building;he said it has six or seven acres, and if that is the choice,it might be possible to put a building in front of the old Yokes building. Mr. Mitchell explained that site 5 and 6 are at the Mirabeau area, with site 5 lending to the synergy of having CenterPlace and the Centennial Trail close by. He said site 6 property is currently owned by John Miler. Cost per square foot was discussed and estimated, and it was mentioned if the idea is to build two to three years from now, a figure would likely be different from today's market figures. Councilmember Grafos said he estimated the square foot cost for a new city hall building at $225 per square foot, bringing the cost of the building to about $16 million, without counting an additional 33% for further costs or another $5 million; he said the Crescent building selling price is $4.7 million,which includes over six acres,with remodeling cost of about $60 to $70 a square foot. Mr. Mitchell said he feels the additional 33% would be closer to 35 to 40%, and the $60 to $70 remodeling cost is underestimated. Ms. Evenson added that the cost would be closer to $70 per square foot improvement at least; that the building is sorely lacking such things as access to daylight, and a decent mechanical, electrical and information system (IT), and said taking those factors into consideration, she feels renovation cost would not be much different from new construction costs. Mr. Mitchell said those ideas deserve further study as we don't know exactly the state of those systems; he said the floor structure is also a factor, as is the high likelihood of the building containing asbestos; and said there are a lot of things in that building they haven't looked at yet; he said that ITRON did a study when they were considering moving to Liberty Lake, concerning existing versus new, and their decision was to buy existing and converted quite a lot; but added that for the Crescent building,the mechanical, electrical and IT systems would have to be taken into consideration. Council Study Session Minutes 07-16-2013 Page 4 of 6 Approved by Council: DRAFT Ms. Evenson also noted that a concern of that employer was retaining good employees; they wanted office space comparable to what they'd be used to; she said nice space attracts the best employees and they wanted their employees to work in environments that are pleasant, adding that we spend about 314th of our lives in our office space. Mr. Mitchell said for the Crescent building, we would probably want to cut openings in exterior walls to make it more office like; and said it is still not an ideal building because it's so square; that ideally you want to have people thirty to forty feet from a window and you can't do that in that building and it would take a lot more to accomplish that; perhaps maybe even putting in a skylight in the middle. Ms. Evenson said often older buildings come with some redeeming qualities and she's not positive that building has a lot; but added that with money, you can do anything to make it pleasant. There was discussion about a library and city hall,with Mr.Mitchell explaining that the Crescent building was chosen as an option because of the possibility of a library across the street; and said it would probably set the best visual for that little section; and Ms. Evenson added that two schemes include a relationship to the park. Mr. Jackson said that particular location adjacent to a potential library was a consideration; that the original study in 2008 determined it would be co-located, but said for this study, that was not a requirement. Councilmember Wick asked about the original three-story building idea; and Mr. Mitchell said three stories were not justified due to cost. Councilmember Woodward said he likes site #2 and would like to see more about that area;he said he feels site #3 is too small; #4 has possibilities but doesn't include a"campus concept" and said he formerly felt Mirabeau was a good location, but the drawback is that won't entice new development,whereas the U-City area would; and said he is not sure if #1 with a new building is the option he would prefer. Councilmember Grafos said he agreed with Councilmember Woodard and feels that location is an opportunity to re-develop the U-City area as well as enhance the park/library project, and will re-purpose an existing building; and said purchase of the building would also include the economic development component; and suggests that as part of that sale agreement, we should ask the seller to remove the remaining unoccupied buildings at their expense as they no longer have a useful economic life and will continue to deteriorate and restrict development; he said the owner should also paint and "dress up" the sheriff office training center; and that we should be granted a 20 to 25 foot easement or property line adjustment on the east side to end up with a free- standing building; he said we don't have to remodel the entire 100,000 square feet; and said you can never go wrong having more square footage. Councilmember Wick also voiced his agreement with Councilmember Woodard and said that #2 has a lot of potential and feels it is more in line with the philosophy of what we are looking for. Councilmember Hafner agreed that this has an identity for us. Deputy Mayor Schimmels stated that the best thing about #2 is the location; said he doesn't like that building and it would have to be "gutted" and feels the second floor is not trustworthy; and that it is important to talk to the owner as those old buildings should have been removed a long time ago. Mr. Jackson said as we bring options forward, it is important to look more closely at the precinct; that we started with a City Hall concept and at least one facility that could accommodate police; he said renovations are costly and we can come back and have a separate discussion on the police department, although we have a precinct building; said he feels it is too soon to eliminate options and he would like to come back with more information on renovation; perhaps have a separate study session to talk about precinct needs; said when we were discussing the idea of building new we were not discussing building a new precinct; he said that would be difficult to fund unless we could sell the existing building; he aid the challenge is to finance the correct-size city hall and we need to take a closer look at the issues. Mr. Mitchell said if#2 is a consideration, at some point they will want to get in and look at the structure, and the mechanical and electrical systems to see what we'd be getting; and Ms. Evenson added she anticipates that building would have a great deal of asbestos. Mayor Towey said he feels those are the next steps to help determine what to eliminate and how to move forward. Mr. Mitchell said for either #1 or #2, an option would also be to remove the existing building.

APPROVAL Olt; MINUTES Commissioner Neill moved to approve the May 23, 2013 minutes as presented, a second was made and the motion passed unanimously. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. VII. COMMISSION REPORTS VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Community Development Director John Hohman went over the advance agenda. He stated that the creation of the development regulations have pushed their abilities to the limits because of Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of all the different rewrites. There were seven different versions from the consultant before they decided to go a different direction in-house, and then five different versions after that. He stated that they are at a point where they have done the best job they can do with this particular material and that it was very complex. There will be various experts at Tuesday night's Joint Planning Commission/City Council meeting to help walk through all of it. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. Unfinished Business: CTA-201 i-0004, Sign Code Amendments. A pending/postponed motion is on the table from the May 23, 2013 Planning Commission Meeting: Motion: Commissioner Stay roved to approve and forward to the City Council CIA-2013- 0004 as presentee, a second was rude, Community Development Director John Hohman provided a short recap of the changes, which are as follows: 1. 22.110.030 Permit required, paragraph C, item 3. (The location of all existing signs for the subject applicant including size and height). Subject Applicant was added. 2. 22 110,030 Permit required,paragraph 11 In the last draft, there was an item 2. (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.) Item 2 was removed. Mr. Hohman stated that at the public hearing Mr. Wineinger stated that it was his experience that special inspection agreements were not typically required. Mr. Hohman stated he discussed it with the City's Building Official Doug Powell. Mr. Powell talked to the jurisdictions of Cheney. Spokane, Spokane County, and Liberty Lake to get a feel for what they are doing. Mr. Hohman explained that what staff came up with was that special inspection agreements are only required in three different areas. • If a sign company comes forward with something completely out of the ordinary that is typically not seen, like a large sign with a strange cantilever structure or something else that would cause some questions. + Extremely large pole signs that are not typical as well that have some additional bracing or other issues that might make staff believe special inspections arc required. • Replacement of existing billboards -those inspections are required. Beyond the three items, it is not typical to have a special inspection agreement done. Therefore, Item 2 was removed and, the following was added to Item 1: (Where special conditions exist for any type of sign, the Building Official is authorized to require additional construction documents to be prepared by a Washington State licensed engineer and for special inspections if deemed necessary.)Mr. Hohman stated that this would provide the flexibility in case the City was to encounter one of the three out of the ordinary situations,then the City could require special inspections. 3. 22.110.050 Temporary Signs,paragraph E, item. 3. (Signs may only be displayed During business hours. If business hours continue) was removed and replaced with; (If the sign is displaced past daylight hours, precautions should be taken to place the sign in a lighted area.) Plannin.Commission minutes Page 2 of 6 4. 22.110.090 Sign location and front setbacks,paragraph F, was changed to; (All new freestanding signs shall comply with SVMC 22.70.030 (4) Mr. Holtman stated that be located and landscaped area was removed as well as the second sentence. Commissioner Canisen read the attached statement to the Planning Commission regarding CTA-2013-0004. Commissioner Stoy responded that most of the businesses that Commissioner Carlsen highlighted are destination locations and they do not need exposure the way temporary signs would highlight an unknown brand new business; everyone knows where Fred Meyer is (Sullivan). He said he thhiks the worst-case scenario was put out there and that there are several business that have been there for large amount of time, and everybody knows that they are there. He stated that there is a possibility that there could be two hundred signs out there but that would probably never happen and you cannot tie somebody's hands because he has a little lot with a hundred foot of frontage, to one sign. Commissioner Carlsen stated that the purpose of a temporary sign is not to advertise your business; the purpose is to advertise a special, or a daily deal, The temporary sign is not meant to be the sign to draw people into your business. She continued that any strip mall with any number of tenants could have the same problem and said she does not think a temporary sign is going to change the nature of the business. Commissioner Bates stated that temporary signs in some instances are the lifeblood of a small business and through his experience; he knows you can get traffic in a store if temporary signs are done properly, There are so many empty retail and businesses that we as a City have a big job to get business in there. He stated that he is for doing anything within reason to help a business survive and prosper. Commissioner Anderson stated that the worst-case scenario is always possible with any rule or zone and that if it did happen then there is always the option to say it can't continue because of any clutter. The City still has the ability to talk to the business and let them know they are making a mess out of the area or with the code or we can go out and stiffen it up. Commissioner Neill moved to amend the original motion to approve and recommend CTA- 2013-0004 to City Council to read, "as presented by staff with the four amendments recommended by Planning Commission and shown in the draft of the proposed text amendments provided to the Commission tonight, ';Q second was made, 6 in favor, I against (Commissioner Carisen). Commissioner Curlsen stated she meant to vote yes to amending the motion. Commissioner Bates stated that they needed to revote on the last motion. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated that someone needs to make a motion to re vote and make the record clear that Commissioner Carlsen wishes to vote affirmatively on that motion to amend the original motion, Commissioner Sloy moved to rescind the amended motion CTA-2013-0004. A second ivas made and the motion passed unanimously. Re-vote: Commissioner Neill moved to amend the motion to approve and recommend C7'A-2013- 0004 to CO) Council to read, as presented by staff with the lbw. amendments recommended by Planning Commission and shown in the draft of The proposed text Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6 amendments provided to the Commission tonight. '"A ,second was made and the motion passed amrtarrinrnusly. Note: The amendments arc: 1. 22.110,030 C (4): to read.'

The pending motion: Commissioner Stray moved to approve and forward to the City Council CTA-2013-0004 as amended a second w s made. Vote on the motion as amended: six in favor and one opposed. The amended motion passed. B. New Business: Study Session: CTA-2013-0005, Outdoor Lighting Standards Planner Marty Palaniuk provided an overview of the materials for the Outdoor Lighting Standards and went over the proposed changes as attached in the draft materials for Chapter 22,60 Outdoor lighting standards: Mr. Palaniuk stated that the outdoor lighting standard does not apply to one or two-family dwellings and public street lighting. He covered the background of 1 wattage and lumens, which is the measure of the brightness of a light and stated that over the last several years technology has changed. The old incandescent bulb at 40 watts would only put out 550 lumens and now there are compact florescent light bulbs that require much less wattage but actually create the same amount of lumens. This is important to the text amendment that is being proposed. He stated a new Washington State Energy code would be enacted in July. All of the new development will have to comply with the Washington State Energy Code. See attached Chapter 2240 for proposed changes. Commissioner Neill asked if there was going to be a stipulation that shows at what point an audit is triggered to have somebody come in and inspect. Mr, Palaniuk stated that during the pre-application phase of development, the scope, scale and surrounding uses are looked at or if there are any anticipated impacts from light trespass. Therefore, if the Building Department felt that was going to happen, than they would require it at the lighting plan. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated there is potential legal concern when there is no criteria and you have unfettered discretion or there are no guiding principles for when that Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6 lighting plan is required, there are potential legal pitfalls with that. The three potential criteria that Mr. Palaniuk listed could work well and still allow discretion from the building department as to when the lighting plan is required without locking them into having a lighting plan. Commissioner Stoy asked if it was going to affect existing developments. Mr. Palaniuk stated it would only effect developments after the amendments occur. It will not go back to prior developments. Commissioner MeCaslin asked if you need a permit to change a light bulb for commercial projects. Community Development John Lohman stated that the City does not handle electrical components; it is the Department of Labor and Industries that handle electrical permits. What the City would do in the case of an addition or just installing new lighting, is look towards compliance with the energy code to make sure that those units that were specified comply with our code. He stated, that what this new amendment is looking at doing is handing most of it off to the review of the energy code, maybe requiring a lighting plan in the larger developments or the ones adjacent to residential, where the City would be more concerned about the location of the lights and whether they are shielded or not, This is a big sealing back of our regulations. Commissioner Anderson used a scenario that if you develop a mall parking lot, does the City currently have a limitation on how much energy that they could use to light the mall parking lot? Mr. Palaniuk said yes they do have to meet the provisions in the Washington State Energy Code. That is what they are primarily trying to deal with is how much energy you consume with your lighting. This concerns the luminosity and how bright the site gets and the impacts of that brightness on the surrounding uses or adjacent properties. Commissioner Bates talked about the zoning and new developments changes for going from residential to the multi-family. He asked if we are getting into developer agreements again, if we do not have criteria for lighting. Mr, Palaniuk responded that it needs to be discussed whether they want to change the City to a responsible official like the building official or the Community Development Director and whether or not they want to include sonic criteria if they want to include that lighting plan. Such as the scope and scale of the project, the surrounding uses if there is residential than we should require a lighting plan, or if there is a sports arena or light industrial project, then the Planning Commission cart add them in there. Commissioner Bates stated that we are still in the Study Session and that it might be a discussion to have after the public hearing. Mt. Palaniuk responded that he could bring back another draft. Commissioner Stoy asked if a multi-family would be considered a commercial development. Mr. Palaniuk responded yes it would be subject to this regulation. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated that if it is the Commissions' desire to have criteria in the regulation then he could get that for them and staff could come back with the changes before the public hearing, Commissioner Bates asked how everyone felt about the criteria. Commissioner Anderson stated there are two things: we need criteria, and then you have a designation of an individual. He asked if the Planning Commission is qualified to designate that individual. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the City's Building Official is the one who oversees the City's development pre-app meetings, He said he might be the likely choice. Commissioner Stew agreed with Mr. Palaniuk as far as the Building Official having the authority, but thinks they should also define the scope and scale similar to the landscaping requirements. Commissioner Bates agreed and asked Mr. Palaniuk to come back with some criteria for requiring a lighting plan. Commissioner McCaslin asked if there have been any complaints regarding current outdoor lighting standards. Mr. Holtman and Mr. Palaniuk said they had no complaints from the public. Commissioner Anderson Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 01.6 commented on the public right away in the General requirements. He said we do not wart horizontal lights or bright lights affecting drivers on a roadway but said he would not be against light laminating the sidewalk of a road or an alley from commercial property. He asked if it is a stiff rule or an open rule. Mr. Hohman responded that they are talking about unshielded light and what they are trying to avoid is something like a spot light that would blind you as a motorist or anything that would cause traffic safety concerns as opposed to unshielded light that may illuminate part of the right-of-way. Commissioner Carlsen staled that at the beginning Mr. Palaniuk said he is going to remove the reference to the Washington State Energy Code. Mr. Pulaniuk stated they are coming out with a new energy code July 1st. Commissioner Bates asked if there was a criteria for the brightness of lights on billboards. Mr. Palaniuk stated that is under the sign code and it does reference it needs to be down loaded and that the bulbs cannot show. Flashing signs are prohibited. Mr. Hohrnan stated that he would look to amend the notice to include some of the language changes that Mr. Palaniuk talked about in his presentation. Therefore, at the public hearing, there will be some criteria and the designated individual will be in the language. Hu said if we could not amend the notice to the public, then they will bring some options forward for the Planning Commission deliberations. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER There was nothing for the good of the order. XI. ADJOURNMENT The being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. _ P Bill Bates, Chairperson Carl Hinshaw, PC Secretary Date signed 64.7 Planning Commission Minutes Page ij cf 6 I believe that the current code is sufficient for businesses to advertise their specials. According to the intent of temporary signage, they are meant to be "posted in conjunction with the alteration, construction, sale, or lease of reap property."' In essence TEMPORARY signs for a TEMPORARY purpose. Our current code offers free of cost options for business to provide notice for temporary events. Currently businesses are allowed an A-frame sign and either a banner, reader board, or two flags with copy. This is in addition to the permanent signs also on the premises. Furthermore, businesses are allowed to get a permit for additional signage to include 'event" style advertising for up to 4 months of each year. As this new code has not even been enforced for a full year, I don't think it is prudent to change the code again so quickly. I think that it would be wise to let the code remain for a longer length of time, to ascertain if there are needs for more signs. In addition, temporary signage is riot intended to keep a company in business, and I do not believe that an additional temporary sign will make or break any of our cities businesses. There are many ways to have effective advertising and marketing, and businesses have opportunities to pursue them. To address a concern brought up at our last meeting, I do not believe that temporary signs help with the locating of businesses. And if businesses are using temporary signs for these purposes, then they are not following the intent of usage of temporary signs. In the context of finding businesses, I think that more temporary signs will detract from the permanent signs and address markings. Another note about signage, I agree that in theory one more sign per business doesn't sound like that much of a change, but when I drive down some of our main streets, I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of signs that are present. There are real estate signs, there are political signs by the handful, there are dancing tooth paste tubes and slices of pizza, Jiffy Lobe and tire store employees waving. I have prepared a couple visual examples of the differences between the current code and the proposed changes. i c /1— ` P/aion.,,py c c,dArithos.rtmeie : eAelififi at" e6r4- Example A Example B In discussing this issue with citizens, comments that I heard related to the difficulty of finding businesses, especially along Sprague Avenue. The concerns were that there aren't adequate numbering signs along the street, and those on the businesses are too small or too far from the street to be useful. Additional concerns are that excess of flags and banners are distracting to drivers along some busy streets, and some trees along streets obscure not only signs and addresses, but buildings as well. My suggestion would be to let the current code stand until next year, to give enough time for the businesses to determine if they do need more signs. I would also be open to amending the current code with language stating that those with a certain length of frontage to be allowed to have an additional sign. As to the length of frontage, I would need more research on determining an appropriate length. An example would be if your business has less than 100 feet of frontage, you get one banner, reader board, or two flags with copy, and if you have more than 100 feet you would get the option of two of the items. To quote the Community Development Department's Business Guide to Keeping Spokane Valley Beautiful "We understand that running a business is challenging, and that adequate signage is critical to communicate with your customers, At the same time, we know business owners recognize the need to keep signage, especially movable and temporary signage, from overwhelming the image of our business areas. Ultimately, the future of Spokane Valley relies on a balance between supporting the businesses that serve our community, and protecting the quality of life that will attract the residents and major employers who will patronize those businesses."

Said recurring monthly charge shall not be imposed until such time as the fiber is put into use by the City. 3. In the event the City Reserved Fibers are the last fibers remaining in Grantee's fiber bundle,then the following shall apply: A. If the City is using the fibers,then the rate the City shall pay Grantee will change from the City Fiber Rate to Grantee's standard commercial rate. B. If the City is not using the fibers,the City shall have the option of abandoning the City Reserved Fibers in lieu of paying Grantee's standard commercial rate. If Grantee installs additional fiber capacity, the City's right to use four dark fiber stands as set forth in subsections 1 and 2,immediately above, shall again be in effect. 4. All access, interconnection and maintenance to and on the City Reserved Fibers shall be performed by Grantee. The City shall pay all costs associated with such work to the City Reserved Fibers.

This and other franchises shall, in no way, prevent or prohibit the City from using any of its rights-of-way or affect its jurisdiction over them or any part of them. Section 7. Non-Interference with Existing Facilities. The City shall have prior and superior right to the use of its rights-of-way and public properties for installation and maintenance of its facilities and other governmental purposes.

Application of said federal, state, and City Codes and regulations shall be for the purposes of fulfilling the City's public trustee role in administering the primary use and purpose of public properties, and not for relieving the Grantee of any duty, obligation, or responsibility for the competent design, construction, maintenance, and operation of its telecommunications facilities. Grantee is responsible for the supervision, condition, and quality of the work done,whether it is by itself or by contractors,assigns or agencies. If Grantee shall at any time be required, or plan,to excavate trenches in any area covered by this franchise,the Grantee shall afford the City an opportunity to permit other franchisees and utilities to share such excavated trenches, provided that: (1) such joint use shall not unreasonably delay the work of the Grantee; and(2) such joint use shall not adversely affect Grantee's telecommunications facilities or safety thereof.

After being notified of an emergency, Grantee shall cooperate with the City to immediately respond with action to aid in the protection of the health and safety of the public. In the event the Grantee refuses to promptly take the directed action or fails to fully comply with such direction, or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action to prevent imminent injury or damages to persons or property, the City may take such actions as it believes are necessary to protect persons or property and the Grantee shall be responsible to reimburse the City for its costs and any expenses. Section 12. One-Call System. Pursuant to RCW 19.122, Grantee is responsible for becoming familiar with, and understanding, the provisions of Washington's One-Call statutes.

Movement of Grantee's Telecommunications Facilities for Others. Whenever any third party shall have obtained permission from the City to use any right—of-way for the purpose of moving any building or other oversized structure, Grantee, upon 14 days' written notice from the City, shall move, at the expense of the third party desiring to move the building or structure, any of Grantee's telecommunications facilities that may obstruct the movement thereof; provided,that the path for moving such building or structure is the path of least interference to Grantee's telecommunications facilities, as determined by the City. Upon good cause shown by Grantee, the City may require more than 14 days' notice to Grantee to move its telecommunications facilities. Ordinance 13-011 Zayo Telecommunications Franchise Page 5 of 14 DRAFT Section 15. Acquiring New Telecommunications Facilities. Upon Grantee's acquisition of any new telecommunications facilities in the rights-of-way,or upon any addition or annexation to the City of any area in which Grantee retains any such telecommunications facilities in the rights-of-way, the Grantee shall submit to the City a written statement describing all telecommunications facilities involved, whether authorized by franchise or any other form of prior right, and specifying the location of all such facilities. Such facilities shall immediately be subject to the terms of this franchise. Section 16. Dangerous Conditions - Authority of City to Abate. Whenever excavation, installation, construction, repair, maintenance, or relocation of telecommunications facilities authorized by this franchise has caused or contributed to a condition that substantially impairs the lateral support of the adjoining right-of-way, road, street or other public place, or endangers the public, adjoining public or private property or street utilities, the City may direct Grantee, at Grantee's sole expense, to take all necessary actions to protect the public and property. The City may require that such action be completed within a prescribed time. In the event that Grantee fails or refuses to promptly take the actions directed by the City, or fails to fully comply with such directions,or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action,the City may enter upon the property and take such actions as are necessary to protect the public, adjacent public or private property,or street utilities,or to maintain the lateral support thereof, and all other actions deemed by the City to be necessary to preserve the public safety and welfare; and Grantee shall be liable to the City for all costs and expenses thereof to the extent caused by Grantee. Section 17. Hazardous Substances. Grantee shall comply with all applicable federal, state and local laws, statutes, regulations and orders concerning hazardous substances relating to Grantee's telecommunications facilities in the rights—of-way. Grantee agrees to indemnify the City against any claims, costs, and expenses, of any kind,whether direct or indirect, incurred by the City arising out of the release or threat of release of hazardous substances caused by Grantee's ownership or operation of its telecommunications facilities within the City's rights-of-way. Section 18. Environmental. Grantee shall comply with all environmental protection laws, rules, recommendations, and regulations of the United States and the State of Washington, and their various subdivisions and agencies as they presently exist or may hereafter be enacted, promulgated, or amended, and shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all damages arising, or which may arise,or be caused by,or result from the failure of Grantee fully to comply with any such laws,rules, recommendations, or regulations, whether or not Grantee's acts or activities were intentional or unintentional. Grantee shall further indemnify the City against all losses, costs, and expenses (including legal expenses) which the City may incur as a result of the requirement of any government or governmental subdivision or agency to clean and/or remove any pollution caused or permitted by Grantee,whether said requirement is during the term of the franchise or subsequent to its termination. Section 19. Relocation of Telecommunications Facilities. Grantee agrees and covenants, at its sole cost and expense, to protect, support, temporarily disconnect, relocate or remove from any street any of its telecommunications facilities when so required by the City in accordance with the provisions of RCW 35.99.060,provided that Grantee shall in all such cases have the privilege to temporarily bypass, in the authorized portion of the same street upon approval by the City, any section of its telecommunications facilities required to be temporarily disconnected or removed. If the City determines that the project necessitates the relocation of Grantee's then- existing telecommunications facilities,the City shall: Ordinance 13-011 Zayo Telecommunications Franchise Page 6 of 14 DRAFT a) At least 60 days prior to the commencement of such improvement project, provide Grantee with written notice requiring such relocation; and b) Provide Grantee with copies of pertinent portions of the plans and specifications for such improvement project and a proposed location for Grantee's telecommunications facilities so that Grantee may relocate its telecommunications facilities in other City rights-of-way in order to accommodate such improvement project. c) After receipt of such notice and such plans and specifications, Grantee shall complete relocation of its telecommunications facilities at no charge or expense to the City so as to accommodate the improvement project in accordance with RCW 35.99.060 (2). Grantee may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its telecommunications facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise Grantee in writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable to accommodate the work which would otherwise necessitate relocation of the telecommunications facilities. If so requested by the City, Grantee shall submit additional information to assist the City in making such evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by Grantee full and fair consideration. In the event the City ultimately determines that there is no other reasonable alternative, Grantee shall relocate its telecommunications facilities as otherwise provided in this section. The provisions of this section shall in no manner preclude or restrict Grantee from making any arrangements it may deem appropriate when responding to a request for relocation of its telecommunications facilities by any person or entity other than the City, where the telecommunications facilities to be constructed by said person or entity are not or will not become City owned, operated or maintained facilities,provided that such arrangements do not unduly delay a City construction project. If the City or a contractor for the City is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by an act or neglect of the Grantee or those acting for or on behalf of Grantee,then Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers harmless from any and all claims, injuries, damages, losses or suits including attorney fees to the extent arising out of or in connection with such delays, except for delays and damages caused by the City. This provision may not be waived by the parties except in writing. Section 20. Abandonment of Grantee's Telecommunications Facilities. No facility constructed or owned by Grantee may be abandoned without the express written consent of the City, which consent shall not be unreasonably withheld. The City has discretion and authority to direct Grantee to remove a facility abandoned by Grantee (whether or not the entity had permission to abandon the facility) and restore the rights-of-way to their pre-removal condition when: (a) a City project involves digging that will encounter the abandoned facility; (b)the abandoned facility poses a hazard to the health, safety, or welfare of the public; (c) the abandoned facility is 24 inches or less below the surface of the rights-of-way and the City is reconstructing or resurfacing a street over the rights-of-way; or (d) the abandoned facility has collapsed,broke,or otherwise failed. Grantee may delay removal of the abandoned facility until such time as the City commences a construction project in the rights-of-way unless (b)or(d) above applies. When(b)or(d) applies,Grantee shall remove the abandoned facility from the rights-of-way as soon as weather conditions allow, unless the City expressly allows otherwise in writing. Ordinance 13-011 Zayo Telecommunications Franchise Page 7 of 14 DRAFT The expense of the removal, and restoration of improvements in the rights-of-way that were damaged by the facility or by the removal process, shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantee. If Grantee fails to remove the abandoned facilities in accordance with the above, then the City may incur costs to remove the abandoned facilities and restore the rights-of-way, and is entitled to reimbursement from Grantee for such costs,including reasonable attorney's fees and costs. Section 21. Maps and Records Required. Grantee shall provide the City,at no cost to the City: 1.

Comprised of 55.5 acres, the park contains Mirabeau Meadows to the north, a large natural area to the west, CenterPlace and Discovery Playground to the south and is bordered by Mirabeau Parkway on the east. This project was conceived as a cooperative between the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane Community College as a service-learning opportunity for geology students. Although the site is located within the heart of the urban Spokane Valley, this area has remained relatively undeveloped and offers a scenic rural forest setting. The park has numerous walking trails that weave through abundant hilly outcrops, which ultimately make for an excellent field study site for both students and the public. Mirabeau Point Park has numerous quality examples of basic and complex geology that are easily accessible to the public. This undergraduate service-learning research project was developed to create earth science awareness and education opportunities for the general public that utilize the park. Field studies and interpretations will allow for the development of informational displays, a guided walking tour, and potential lesson plans for K-12 field trips.

Item 2 was removed. Mr. Hohman stated that at the public hearing Mr, Wineinger slated that it was his experience that special inspection agreements were not typically required. Mr. Hohman stated he discussed it with the City's Building Official Doug Powell. Mr. Powell talked to the jurisdictions of Cheney, Spokane, Spokane County, and Liberty Lake to get a feel for what they are doing. Mr. Hohman explained that what staff came up with was that special inspection agreements are only required in three different areas. • If a sign co mpany conies forward with something completely out of the ordinary that is typically not seen, like a large sign with a strange cantilever structure or something else that would cause some questions. • Extremely large pole signs that are not typical as well that have some additional bracing or other issues that might make staff believe special inspections are required. • Replacement of existing billboards - those inspections are required. Beyond the three items, it is not typical to have a special inspection agreement done, Therefore, Item 2 was removed and, the following was added to Item 1: (Where special conditions exist for any type of sign, the Building Official is authorized to require additional construction documents to be prepared by a Washington State licensed engineer and /or special inspections if deemed necessary.) Mr. I lohman stated that this would provide the flexibility in case the City was to encounter one of the three out of the ordinary situations, then the City could require special inspections. 3. 22.1 10.050 Temporary Signs, paragraph E, item 3. (Signs may only be displayed During business hours. It' business hours continue) was removed and replaced with; (If the sign is displaced past daylight hours, precautions should be taken to place the sign in a lighted area.) Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 (4'6 4. 22.110,090 Sign location and front setbacks, paragraph F, was changed to; (All new freestanding signs shall comply with SVMC 22.70.039 (J).) Mr. Holtman stated that be located and landscaped area was removed as well as the second sentence. Commissioner Carlsen read the attached statement to the Planning Commission regarding CTA-2013-0004. Commissioner Stoy responded that most of the businesses that Commissioner Carlsen highlighted are destination locations and they do not need exposure the way temporary signs would highlight an unknown brand new business; everyone knows where Fred Meyer is (Sullivan), 1 l said he thinks the worst-case scenario was put out there and that there are several business that have been there for large amount of time, and everybody knows that they are there. lIe stated that there is a possibility that there could be two hundred signs out there but that would probably never happen and you cannot tie somebody's hands because he has a little lot with a hundred foot of frontage, to one sign. Commissioner Carlsen stated that the purpose of a temporary sign is not to advertise your business; the purpose is to advertise a special. or a daily deal. The temporary sign is not meant to be the sign to draw people into your business. She continued that any strip mall with any number of tenants could have the same problem and said she does not think a temporary sign is going to change the nature of the business. Commissioner Bates stated that temporary signs in Some instances are the lifeblood of a small business and through his experience; he knows you can get traffic in a store if temporary signs arc done properly. There are so many empty retail and businesses that we as a City have a big job to get business in there. He stated that he is for doing anything within reason to help a business survive and prosper. Commissioner Anderson stated that the worst-case scenario is always possible with any rule or zone and that if it did happen then there is always the option to say it can't continue because of any clutter. The City still has the ability to talk to the business and let them know they are making a mess out of the area or with the code or we can go out and stiffen it up. Commissioner Neill moved to amend the original motion to approve and recommend C{TA- 2013-0004 to City Council to read, "as presented by staff' with the ,Jour• amendments recommended by Planning Commission and shown in the draft of the proposed text amendments provided to the Commission tonight. 'A second iras made, 6 in favor, 1 against (Commissioner Carlsen). Commissioner Carlsen stated she meant to vote yes to amending the motion. Commissioner Bates stated that they needed to revote on the last motion. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated that someone needs to make a motion to re vote and make the record clear that Commissioner Car lsen wishes to vote affirmatively on that motion to amend the original motion. Commissioner Stoy moved to rescind the amended motion CTA-2013-0004, A second was made and the motion passed unanimously. Re-vote: Commissioner Neill moved to amend the motion to approve and recommend CTA-2013- 0004 to City Council to read. as presented by staff wiwitlh the ,folk' alnendrncnts recommended by Planning Commission and shown in the draft of the proposed text Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 6 amendments provided to the Commission tonight.

The amended motion passed. B. New Business: Study Session: CTA-2013-0005, Outdoor Lighting Standards Planner Marty Palaniuk provided an overview of the materials for the Outdoor Lighting Standards and \vent over the proposed changes as attached in the drab materials for Chapter 22.60 Outdoor lighting standards: Mr. Palaniuk stated that the outdoor lighting standard does not apply to one or two-family dwellings and public street lighting. He covered the background of l wattage and lumens, which is the measure of the brightness of a light and stated that over the last several years technology has changed. The old incandescent bulb at 40 watts would only put out 550 lumens and now there arc compact florescent light bulbs that require much less wattage but actually create the same amount of lumens. This is important to the text amendment that is being proposed. He stated a new Washington State Energy code would be enacted in July. All of the new development will have to comply with the Washington State Energy Code. See attached Chapter 22.60 I'or proposed changes. Commissioner Neill asked if there was going to be a stipulation that shows at what point an audit is triggered to have somebody come in and inspect. Mr. Palaniuk stated that during the pre-application phase of development, the scope, scale and surrounding uses are looked at or if there are any anticipated impacts from light trespass. Therefore, if the Building Department felt that was going to happen, then they would require it at the lighting plan. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated there is potential legal concern when there is no criteria and you have unfettered discretion or there are no guiding principles for when that Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 6 lighting plan is required, there are potential legal pitfalls with that. The three potential criteria that Mr. Palaniuk listed could work well and still allow discretion from the building department as to when the lighting plan is required without locking them into having a lighting plan. Commissioner Stay asked if it was going to affect existing developments. Mr. Palaniuk stated it would only effect developments after the amendments occur. it will not go back to prior developments. Commissioner McCaslin asked if you need a permit to change a light bulb for commercial projects, Community Development John llolvnan stated that the City does not handle electrical components; it is the Department of Labor and Industries that handle electrical permits. What the City would do in the case of an addition or just installing new lighting, is look towards compliance with the energy code to make sure that those units that were specified comply with our code. He stated, that what this new amendment is looking at doing is handing most of it off to the review of the energy code, maybe requiring a lighting plan in the larger developments or the ones adjacent to residential, where the City would be more concerned about the location of the lights and whether they are shielded or not. This is a big scaling back of out regulations. Commissioner Anderson used a scenario that if you develop a mall parking lot, does the City currently have a limitation on how much energy that they could use to light the mall parking lot? Mr, Palaniuk said yes they do have to meet the provisions in the Washington State Energy Code, That is what they are primarily trying to deal with is how much energy you consume with your lighting. This concerns the luminosity and how bright the site gets and the impacts of that brightness on the surrounding uses or adjacent properties, Commissioner Bates talked about the zoning and new developments changes for going from residential to the multi-family. He asked if we are getting into developer agreements again, if we do not have criteria for lighting. Mr. Palaniuk responded that it needs to be discussed whether they want to change the City to a responsible official like the building official or the Community Development Director and whether or not they want to include some criteria if they want to include that lighting plan. Such as the scope and scale of the project, the surrounding uses if there is residential than we should require a lighting plan, or if there is a sports arena or light industrial project, then the Planning Commission can add them in there. Commissioner Bates stated that we are still in the Study Session and that it might be a discussion to have after the public hearing. Mr. Palaniuk responded that he could bring back another draft. Commissioner Stay asked if a multi-family would be considered a commercial development. Mr. Palaniuk responded yes it would be subject to this regulation. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb stated that if it is the Commissions' desire to have criteria in the regulation then he could get that for them and staff could come back with the changes before the public hearing. Commissioner Bates asked how everyone felt about the criteria. Commissioner Anderson stated there are two things: we need criteria, and then you have a designation of an individual. He asked if the Planning Commission is qualified to designate that individual. Mr. Palaniuk stated that the City's Building Official is the one who oversees the City's development pre-app meetings. He said he might he the likely choice. Commissioner Stay agreed with Mr. Palaniuk as far as the Building Official having the authority, but thinks they should also define the scope and scale similar to the landscaping requirements. Commissioner Bates agreed and asked Mr. Palaniuk to come back with some criteria for requiring a lighting plan. Commissioner McCaslin asked if there have been any complaints regarding current outdoor lighting standards. Mr. Hohman and Mr. Palaniuk said they had no complaints from the public. Commissioner Anderson Planning Commission Minutes Page 5 of 6 commented on the public right away in the General requirements. He said we do not want horizontal lights or bright lights affecting drivers on a roadway but said he would not be against light laminating the sidewalk of a road or an alley from commercial property. He asked if it is a stiff rule or an open rule. Mr. llohman responded that they are talking about unshielded light and what they are trying to avoid is something like a spot light that would blind you as a motorist or anything that would cause traffic safety concerns as opposed to unshielded light that may illuminate part of the right-of-way. Commissioner Carlsen stated that at the beginning Mr. Palaniuk said he is going to remove the reference to the Washington State Energy Code. Mr. Palaniuk stated they are coming out with a new energy code July 1st. Commissioner Bates asked if there was a criteria for the brightness of lights on billboards. Mr. Palaniuk stated that is under the sign code and it does reference it needs to be down loaded and that the bulbs cannot show. Flashing signs are prohibited. Mr. Hohman stated that he would look to amend the notice to include some of the language changes that Mr. Palaniuk talked about in his presentation. Therefore, at the public hearing, there will be some criteria and the designated individual will be in the language. He said if we could not amend the notice to the public, then they will bring some options forward for the Planning Commission deliberations. X. COOL) OF THE ORDER There was nothing for the good of the order. Xl. ADJOURNMENT The being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 7:20 p.m. gr) 1 � L Bill Bates,Bates, Chairperson Carl Hinshaw, PC Secretary Date signed 6/77 . Planning Commission Minutes Page 6 of 6 I believe that the current code is sufficient for businesses to advertise their specials. According to the intent of temporary signage, they are meant to be "posted in conjunction with the alteration, construction, sale, or lease of real property." In essence TEMPORARY signs for a TEMPORARY purpose. Our current code offers free of cost options for business to provide notice for temporary events. Currently businesses are allowed an A-frame sign and either a banner, reader board, or two flags with copy. This is in addition to the permanent signs also on the premises. Furthermore, businesses are allowed to get a permit for additional signage to include "event" style advertising for up to 4 months of each year. As this new code has not even been enforced for a full year, I don't think it is prudent to change the code again so quickly. I think that it would be wise to let the code remain for a longer length of time, to ascertain if there are needs for more signs. In addition, temporary signage is not intended to keep a company in business, and I do not believe that an additional temporary sign will make or break any of our cities businesses. There are many ways to have effective advertising and marketing, and businesses have opportunities to pursue them. To address a concern brought up at our last meeting, I do not believe that temporary signs help with the locating of businesses. And if businesses are using temporary signs for these purposes, then they are not following the intent of usage of temporary signs. In the context of finding businesses, I think that more temporary signs will detract from the permanent signs and address markings. Another note about signage, I agree that in theory one more sign per business doesn't sound like that much of a change, but when I drive down some of our main streets, I am overwhelmed by the sheer number of signs that are present. There are real estate signs, there are political signs by the handful, there are dancing tooth paste tubes and slices of pizza, Jiffy Lube and tire store employees waving. I have prepared a couple visual examples of the differences between the current code and the proposed changes. ` f, , /3, Q/ P/annt/7 �Jfr44r.S.fr0n" , Example A Example B In discussing this issue with citizens, comments that I heard related to the difficulty of finding businesses, especially along Sprague Avenue. The concerns were that there aren't adequate numbering signs along the street, and those on the businesses are too small or too far from the street to be useful. Additional concerns are that excess of flags and banners are distracting to drivers along some busy streets, and some trees along streets obscure not only signs and addresses, but buildings as well. My suggestion would be to let the current code stand until next year, to give enough time for the businesses to determine if they do need more signs. I would also be open to amending the current code with language stating that those with a certain length of frontage to be allowed to have an additional sign. As to the length of frontage, I would need more research on determining an appropriate length. An example would be if your business has less than 100 feet of frontage, you get one banner, reader board, or two flags with copy, and if you have more than 100 feet you would get the option of two of the items. To quote the Community Development Department's Business Guide to Keeping Spokane Valley Beautiful "We understand that running a business is challenging, and that adequate signage is critical to communicate with your customers. At the same time, we know business owners recognize the need to keep signage, especially movable and temporary signage, from overwhelming the image of our business areas. Ultimately, the future of Spokane Valley relies on a balance between supporting the businesses that serve our community, and protecting the quality of life that will attract the residents and major employers who will patronize those businesses."

Planner Marty Palaniuk provided an overview of the materials for the Outdoor Lighting Standards and went over the proposed changes as attached in the draft materials fot- Chapter 2 2.60 Outdoor lighting standards. Commissioner Phillips asked if "lights on billboards" was in the sign code ordinance. Planning Manager Kuhta read the regulation as follows: Sign code section of the municipal code 22.11 0.060 General Provisions: Electronic signs shall be permitted on the same basis as other signs. All electronic message centers arc required to have automatic dimming capabilities that adjust the brightness to the ambient light at all times of the day and night. Mr. Kuhta stated there is suppose to be written documentation when people conk in for a permit to install their sign. It does not talk about a specific standard, it talks about dimming capabilities. Planning C:uiiilnission Minutes Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Bates discussed criteria, His concern was about the maximum pole height. He asked if the Planning Director would determine the height of each individual project based on his knowledge of zoning and could we have different heights of poles in the City? Planner Palaniuk responded with yes. Commissioner Bates discussed treating people fairly by one of them not being able to put up the kind of fixture that he/she wanted verses somebody else. He stated that maybe regulating it based on zoning would be good. Mr. Palaniuk responded that the only purpose of the decision criteria is to decide whether a lighting plan is required. He does not think it is going to limit the height of the pole. The City is going to allow the developer to conic in and provide the information. The only requirement the City will have is that the light be shielded off the site. The intent of the changes is to allow more flexibility for the developer. Commissioner Bates closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 Pr"i Commissioner Neill moved to approve and'inward to the City Council CTi1-2013-0005 as presented, a second'vas made Discussion: Commissioner Anderson stated he will support the plan, but from a personal standpoint, he said he could understand rules about minimal lighting for public areas or parking lots that are all safety related, Ile does not like the idea that we would restrict private people from how much electricity they use or pay for on their own properly. The state of Washington has taken it upon itself to put rules for that. From Commissioner Anderson's standpoint, he stated the cost of electricity would control what people do with their money. He is amazed at the thought process (not created by this City) in that we would restrict people from doing whatever lighting process they wanted as long as it was not a safety hazard. Planning Commission Action: to forward to the City Council as presented, the motion Wa.s passed unaniragnarsly. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER There was nothing for the good of the order. Xl.

BACKGROUND INFORMATION 1. APPLICATION PROCESSING: SVMC Chapter 17.80, Permit Processing Procedures. The following summarizes application procedures for the proposal, Process Date Pre-Application Meeting: N/A Application Submitted: N/A Determination of Completeness: N/A Published Notice of Public Hearing: 6/14/2013 Sent Notice of Public Hearing to staff/agencies: 6/14/2013 Posted Notice of Public Hearing 6/14/2013 Staff Report and Recommendation Ct'A-2013-0005 2. PROPOSAL BACKGROUND: The proposal is to modify Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) Chapter 22.60, Outdoor Lighting Standards. The intent is to streamline the development review process and remove unwarranted lighting requirements. The proposed amendment will eliminate the lighting limits for covered parking, open parking and outdoor areas, These areas were limited to 0.20 watts per square foot of lot area. Newer lighting fixture technology has made the use of input wattage as a measure of brightness,or luminosity, outdated. New lighting fixtures have increased the lumens, a measure of the amount of brightness a light fixture emits, while reducing the amount of watts required. limiting the watts per square foot is an inconsistent method of limiting the brightness emanating from a site. The amendment will also remove the lighting limits on building exterior and landscape lighting. The current code limits the watts per square foot of building façade or per linear foot of building perimeter. Restrictions on the maximum height of pole-mounted outdoor lighting fixtures are removed as part of the proposed amendment. This requirement did not seem reasonable based on a new proposed standard of not allowing any unshielded light trespass to occur between incompatible uses. In order to meet the new standard, development should self-limit the height of light poles. The proposed amendment changes the previous standard of no light trespass across any bounding property line between incompatible uses or into the public right-of-way. It is difficult for development to completely eliminate all light trespass. Staff is not trained or educated to evaluate or measure whether proposed development is meeting the no light trespass standard, The new standard will require that no unshielded light trespass may occur across the boundary, seeking to eliminate the glare from outdoor lighting while allowing some light trespass to occur. This standard appears to be consistent with surrounding jurisdictions. Development is required to meet all the requirements of the Washington State Energy Code. Restating the requirements in the SVMC is redundant. The amendment will remove these redundant references. The current SVMC requires any application for development to submit a photometric analysis of the lighting effects prepared by a qualified engineer. The reason was to determine if any lighting trespass would occur across the bounding property lines. The proposed amendment will require the Community Development Department to evaluate the development application during the pre- application phase of the permit process and determine if a lighting plan will be required. I1'a lighting plan is required than it must show the location of the fixtures and type of shielding being used. A photometric analysis will not be required because the new applicant no longer must show that no light trespass will occur on adjacent properties. The proposed amendment removes the restriction on the height of walkway lighting. Walkway lighting will still require shielding to eliminate off-site glare. The proposed amendment will eliminate the requirement for outdoor arenas, stadiums and playl`ields to turn off lighting within 30 minutes of completing an event. This requirement has not been actively enforced and no compliance issues have arisen. Two additional exceptions to the outdoor lighting standards will be added as part of the proposed amendment; in-pool lighting for private swimming pools and holiday decorations. B.

BACKGROUND: The Washington State Utilities and Transportation Commission (WUTC), through its Grade Crossing Protective Fund (GCPF), has an open call for projects for railroad safety improvement grants. Grants of up to $20,000 per project are available to eliminate or mitigate public safety hazards at railroad crossings and along railroad rights-of-way. The funding is available on a first-come first-served basis until the funding cycle allotment has been used. A new funding cycle starts in July 2013. A GCPF grant was previously received for safety improvements at the Park Rd/Trent railroad crossing to install concrete medians and delineators to prevent drivers from driving around the crossing gates. See photo on page 2. A citizen contacted the City regarding the Vista Rd/Trent Ave crossing for the BNSF Railroad. Staff checked with WUTC staff and they suggested the crossing at Vista would be a strong candidate for safety funding. BNSF has recorded six (6) close calls at this location over the past five years from vehicles driving around down crossing gates as trains approached. The Vista/Trent crossing is made up of two mainline tracks. With two railroad crossings located close to each other at this location, up to $40,000 ($20,000 per crossing) is available for safety improvements. The grant will cover 100% of the project cost up to the maximum grant amount with one restriction. The grant will not cover in-house staff time for administration, design and construction management. However, it will cover the design and construction management costs if they are contracted out to a consultant. This unusual restriction was discovered after the completion of the Park Rd/Trent safety improvement project. Based upon review of the site conditions, staff agrees that safety improvements at the Vista/Trent crossings would be a prudent investment given the potential for high severity and/or fatal accidents that can occur due to the pattern of unsafe driver behavior. A preliminary cost estimate for improvements at Vista/Trent is attached. Staff is coordinating with BNSF to verify the scope of the safety improvements necessary for the railroad crossings. If Council agrees to staff submitting a Grade Crossing Protective Fund grant application for this project and we are successful in getting grant funds, we anticipate design to begin this year and construction of the improvements next spring. OPTIONS: Discussion. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The GCPF grant pays 100% of the total project cost up to the maximum grant amount if design and construction management is contracted out. As the proposed GCPF application is developed, staff will coordinate with the Finance Department to ensure there are sufficient city funds to provide the needed match for the proposed GCPF project. Based upon the current preliminary estimate, the City match would be approximately $11,000 to take advantage of the amount of grant funding available. It is proposed that REET funds be used to provide the City match. STAFF CONTACT: Steve M.

' Report a problem Concrete Medians on Park Road south of Trent Avenue Grade Crossing Protective Fund(GCPF) Rules -WAC 480-62-400 through 420 WAC 480-62-400,Purpose 1. As authorized by chapter 81.53 RCW, this chapter prescribes the manner in which a public, private or nonprofit entity may apply to the commission for grants from the grade crossing protective fund, and to prescribe a program for the award of such grants. 2. Grade crossing protective fund grants are to fund projects that: a. Reduce accident frequency and severity at either public and private railroad crossings; or b. Reduce pedestrian, trespassing, and motorist injuries and deaths on railroad rights of way at places other than crossings. WAC 480-62-405,Applications 1. Any public, private or nonprofit entity may submit an application to the commission for a grant from the grade crossing protective fund. The commission will consider applications that propose projects that are within one of the following categories: a. Grade crossing signals or other warning devices at public crossings. This category includes safety improvement projects at public crossings under RCW 81.53.261 and 81.53.295. b. Trespass prevention and motorist safety projects. This category includes, but is not limited to, fencing or other physical barriers; warning devices; channeling devices; public information efforts; and enforcement-related activities. c. Private crossing safety improvements. This category includes, but is not limited to, crossing closures or consolidations; signals or warning devices; nighttime and off- hours locked gates; and making existing warning devices more noticeable. d. Miscellaneous safety projects. This category includes other projects within the scope of WAC 480-62-400(2) to foster creative and effective ideas and to address newly discovered problems. Such projects might include, but are not limited to, roadway improvements at or approaching grade crossings; mitigation of problems created by crossing closures; and removal of sight obstructions to signals or trains for the traveling public. 2. An applicant may at any time submit an application on a form provided by the commission for a grant to pay for costs of public grade crossing signals or other warning devices as described in subsection(1)(a) of this section. The commission will evaluate and act on such applications as they are received. 3. An applicant may at any time submit an application for a grant to pay for projects falling within the categories described in subsection (1)(b), (c), and (d) of this section. When funds are available for disbursement, the commission will issue a call for grant applications with a deadline by which applications must be submitted for competitive consideration. The commission will evaluate and act on all pending applications, deciding whether each application should be granted, in whole or in part; whether the application should be retained for further consideration if funds become available; or whether the application should be denied. Applications that have not been denied may remain active until the next ensuing call for grant applications is issued, not to exceed two years from the date of the application, or such shorter time as the commission may specify. 4. Applicants for projects described in subsection (1)(b), (c), and(d) of this section must submit grant applications on a form provided by the commission that requires applicants to provide the following information: 1 Grade Crossing Protective Fund(GCPF) Rules -WAC 480-62-400 through 420 a. A detailed summary of the hazard to be addressed, including location, accident history, and the identities of the relevant railroad company and local agency (local government that has jurisdiction over the issue and/or territory involved); b. A summary of the project and how its implementation will mitigate or eliminate the hazard; c. Cost estimates; d. An estimated timeline for project completion; e. A description of how the project's success can be measured; f. A summary of efforts to coordinate with the railroad and/or local government, and the results of those efforts; g. A description of the applicant's experience, capacity, and competency to complete the project; and h. Such other information as the commission may require. WAC 480-62-410,Funding for project categories The commission may set aside a specific amount for the category that includes public grade crossing signals and other warning devices. It may designate a portion of the total available funds for each of the other project categories. The commission may limit the amount of funding per project for each project category. The commission may also award a grant that pays a portion of a larger safety project. WAC 480-62-415,Evaluation and award process 1. The commission will evaluate each petition for a project involving grade crossing signals or other warning devices at a public crossing when it is filed. The commission will evaluate projects in other categories after the deadline specified in a call for grant applications. When evaluating projects, the commission may perform diagnostic reviews at the site of proposed projects and may inquire about possible revisions to improve the proposal. If the applicant modifies the grant application in response to commission inquiries, the commission will consider the application in its modified form. 2. The commission will consider grant applications at regularly scheduled open meetings. Any interested person may speak at the open meeting regarding the grant applications. a. The commission will award a grant for a project involving grade crossing signals or other warning devices at a public crossing if funds are available and the commission determines that the public safety requires the project. The commission will consider the severity of the hazard addressed by the project and the safety benefits expected to be achieved. b. The commission will award grants to projects in other categories that, in the commission's judgment, will achieve the greatest gains in safety relative to their cost. The commission will consider the relative severity of the hazard being addressed in each application, the safety benefits expected to be achieved by the proposed projects, the costs of implementing each project, the likelihood that the applicant can complete the project, and whether the applicant coordinated with and sought approval from the relevant local agency and railroad. The commission may also consider geographic diversity. The commission may condition an award on an amendment of the application regarding the requested level of funding, the suggested time limit for completion of the grant project, and any other proposed term or condition. 2 Grade Crossing Protective Fund(GCPF) Rules -WAC 480-62-400 through 420 WAC 480-62-420, Grant documents,timelines and fund transfers 1. As a condition of every grant award, award recipient must sign an agreement provided by the commission specifying the terms of the grant. 2. If it appears that an award recipient is not meeting the timelines specified in the application, commission order, or agreement, the commission may set specific project milestones and deadlines for meeting them. The commission may withdraw the award if the award recipient does not achieve a milestone on time. 3. When an award recipient completes a project, it must submit its request to the commission for disbursement of grant funds on a form provided by the commission. 4. The commission will verify that the project is complete and meets all terms and conditions of the application, order, and agreement. When the commission confirms that the project has been completed consistent with the application, order, and agreement, the commission will disburse grant funds to the award recipient. 3 Grant Application Cost Estimate Project Name: Vista Road RR Crossing Safety Improvements Prepared By: Preparation Date: Bryan D.

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 complete in advance of the annual audit which we understand will begin the first week of August. 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 22nd the Council will have had an opportunity to discuss the budget on seven occasions including two 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 17 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. liSV-FS21UserslmcalhounlFinance Activity Reports1201312013 06.docx Page 1 Outside Agency Funding in the 2013 Budget The City has historically provided funding for local organizations involved in either social services or economic development activities and the preliminary 2014 Budget currently has $150,000 collectively available for this. The schedule leading to awarding funds is as follows: June 28 Letters mailed to agencies that have historically received funding, media release to City website and notice to newspapers. July 26 Agency requests are due at City Hall. September 3 Economic development and social service agency presentations to Council. September 17 Council makes final determination of awards. IT Related Activity • IT staff closed 83 help desk requests during the month of June. • A seasonal employee was hired during June to assist with the IT Help Desk and cover for vacations of staff. • Launched a testing phase for a new employee timesheet application for finance staff, with the intention of providing to the rest of the city as bugs get worked out. The purpose of this system is to standardize the information being reported to Payroll, assist managers in the approval process, provide better reporting, and to have the potential for automated entry of staff hours directly into the EDEN Payroll system. • Assisted with the city's soon to be available phone application. Helped with programming JavaScript and Google Maps so the application would have mapping technology available to the users. Bud et Actual to Acal 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: o The 2013 Budget as adopted. o June 2013 activity. o Cumulative 2013 activity through June 2013. o Budget remaining in terms of dollars, o 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 46.19% of the amount budgeted with 50.00% of the year elapsed. This is typical and reflective of the nature of the timing of when revenues are collected. 41SV-FS24Users.rncafhoun1Finance Activity Reports1201312013 06.docx Page 2 • Property tax collections have reached $5,828,789 or 53.26% 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 5-months of collections thus far because taxes collected in June are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of July. Collections are currently $6,632,385 or 43.49% of the amount budgeted. • Gambling taxes are at$152,057 or 24.83% of the amount budgeted. These taxes are paid quarterly. The first quarter payments were mostly received and recorded during April and May. Second quarter payments are due by July 31. We anticipate second quarter receipts will bring us close to 50.00% of the budgeted figure. • Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month following a calendar year quarter. Through June we have received $330,801 or 29.15% of the amount budgeted. We anticipate second quarter receipts will bring us close to 50.00% of the budgeted figure. • 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 June we've received remittances totaling $799,675 or 47.47% 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 $822,058 or 63.04% of the amount budgeted. • 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 June 2013 we've received remittances for the period January through May with receipts of $527,358 or 35.29% 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 $258,717 or 45.27% of the amount budgeted. Recurring expenditures are currently at 43.39%© of the amount budgeted with 50.00% of the year elapsed. Departments experience seasonal fluctuations in activity so they don't necessarily expend their budget in twelve equal monthly installments. Investments (page 17) Investments at May 31 total $49,532,844 and are composed of$44,489,955 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 June and total $7,469,254 including general, criminal justice and public safety taxes. This figure is $557,856 (8.07%) greater than for the same 5-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 / 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. 11SV FS21UserslmcalhounlFinance Activity Reports4201312013 06.docx Page 3 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 $512,793 or 8.38%. • 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 increased by $1,184 or 0.75%. • 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 $118,470 or 31.82%. • 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.Q. 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.

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.

IV. APPROVAL OF AGENDA Commissioner Carlsen moved to approve the agenda as presented, a second was made and the motion passed unanimously. V. APPROVAL OF MINUTES Commissioner Neill moved to approve the June 13, 2013 minutes as presented, a second was made and the motion passed unanimously. VI. PUBLIC COMMENT There was no public comment. VII. COMMISSION REPORTS Commissioner Anderson and Commissioner Carlsen attended the Regional Short Course at the City of Spokane. Commissioner Carlsen stated there was a lot of good information and wished there were more that would have attended. She said there were many aspects of City Planning that she had not wrapped her head around yet and the speakers did a good job at presenting the Planning Commission Minutes Page 1 of 3 information. Commissioner Bates attended the City of Spokane Valley budget session and the Joint Session on the Shoreline. He stated it was good to have a joint meeting and he complimented the staff on what a good job they did. VIII. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS Planning Manager Kuhta reviewed the advance agenda. He stated that the plan is to focus on the Shoreline Master Plan issues. There is not a lot of detail to the advance agenda due to waiting to see how the SMP issues plays out. IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS A. Old Business: Findings of Fact: CTA-2013-0004, Sign Code Amendments Commissioner Neill moved to approve and forward to City Council CTA-2013-0004 as presented. A second was made. Discussion: None Planning Commission vote was to forward to the City Council as presented, the motion was passed unanimously. B. New Business: Presentation: Spokane Regional Transportation Council. Senior Transportation Planner Ryan Stewart provided an overview of the Horizon 2040 effort. Under Federal regulations, one requirement is to develop a metropolitan transportation plan. This is a twenty-year minimum look into the future. It will be the blue print for the entire county of what they want transportation to look like over the next twenty plus years. He went over the Regional priorities, their vision, forecasting the population and employment. C. Unfinished Business: Commissioner Bates opened the Public Hearing at 7:03 PM Public Hearing and Deliberations: CTA-2013-0005. Planner Marty Palaniuk provided an overview of the materials for the Outdoor Lighting Standards and went over the proposed changes as attached in the draft materials for Chapter 22.60 Outdoor lighting standards. Commissioner Phillips asked if "lights on billboards" was in the sign code ordinance. Planning Manager Kulata read the regulation as follows: Sign code section of the municipal code 22.110.060 General Provisions: Electronic signs shall be permitted on the same basis as other signs. All electronic message centers are required to have automatic dimming capabilities that adjust the brightness to the ambient light at all times of the day and night. Mr. Kuhta stated there is suppose to be written documentation when people come in for a permit to install their sign. It does not talk about a specific standard, it talks about dimming capabilities. Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3 Commissioner Bates discussed criteria. His concern was about the maximum pole height. He asked if the Planning Director would determine the height of each individual project based on his knowledge of zoning and could we have different heights of poles in the City? Planner Palaniuk responded with yes. Commissioner Bates discussed treating people fairly by one of them not being able to put up the kind of fixture that he/she wanted verses somebody else. He stated that maybe regulating it based on zoning would be good. Mr. Palaniuk responded that the only purpose of the decision criteria is to decide whether a lighting plan is required. He does not think it is going to limit the height of the pole. The City is going to allow the developer to come in and provide the information. The only requirement the City will have is that the light be shielded off the site. The intent of the changes is to allow more flexibility for the developer. Commissioner Bates closed the Public Hearing at 7:20 PM Commissioner Neill moved to approve and forward to the City Council CIA-2013-0005 as presented, a second was made Discussion: Commissioner Anderson stated he will support the plan, but from a personal standpoint, he said he could understand rules about minimal lighting for public areas or parking lots that are all safety related. He does not like the idea that we would restrict private people from how much electricity they use or pay for on their own property. The state of Washington has taken it upon itself to put rules for that. From Commissioner Anderson's standpoint, he stated the cost of electricity would control what people do with their money. He is amazed at the thought process (not created by this City) in that we would restrict people from doing whatever lighting process they wanted as long as it was not a safety hazard. Planning Commission Action: to forward to the City Council as presented, the motion was passed unanimously. X. GOOD OF THE ORDER There was nothing for the good of the order. XI. ADJOURNMENT The being no other business the meeting was adjourned at 7:22 p.m. (3Ct:-- — Bill Bates, Chairperson Can Hinshaw, PC Secretary Date signed 7 /// Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 3 ATTACHMENT D FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION July 11,2013 The following findings are consistent with the Planning Commission's decision to recommend approval. Background: 1. Spokane Valley development regulations were adopted in September 2007 and became effective on October 28,2007. 2. The City-initiated text amendment proposes to amend Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.60 to streamline the outdoor Iighting standards by eliminating the watts per square foot lighting limit, eliminating redundant provisions, eliminating the requirement for a photometric plan, adding a requirement for a Iighting plan if deemed necessary by the building division, eliminating outdoor recreation facility requirements,and adding two additional exemptions. 3. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on June 27, 2013 and voted 6-0 to recommend approval of the amendment to City Council. Planning Commission Findings: 1. Compliance with SVMC 17.80.150F Approval Criteria a. The proposed City-initiated code text amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan; Finding(s): 1. Land Use Policy LUP-1.2 Protect residential areas from impacts of adjacent non-residential uses and/or higher intensity uses through the development and enforcement of the City's land use regulations and joint planning. ii. Land Use Policy LUP-13.1 Maximize efficiency of the development review process by continuously evaluating the permitting process and modifying as appropriate. iii. Housing Policy HP-1.1: Consider the economic impact of development regulations on the cost of housing. iv. Housing Policy HP-1.2: Streamline the development review process and strive to eliminate unnecessary time delays and expenses. v. Economic Goal EDG-7: Maintain a regulatory environment that offers flexibility, consistency,predictability and clear direction. vi. Economic Policy EDP-7.1: Evaluate, monitor and improve development standards to promote compatibility between adjacent land uses; and update permitting processes to ensure that they are equitable,cost-effective,and expeditious. vii. Economic Policy EDP-7.2: Review development regulations periodically to ensure clarity, consistency and predictability. viii. Neighborhood Goal NG-2: Preserve and protect the character of Spokane Valley's residential neighborhoods. ix. Neighborhood Policy NP-2.1: Maintain and protect the character of existing and future residential neighborhoods through the development and enforcement of the City's land use regulations and joint planning. x. Neighborhood Policy NP-2.2: Review and revise as necessary,existing land use regulations to provide for innovation and flexibility in the design of new residential developments, accessory dwelling units, and in-fill development. Findings and Recommendations of the Spokane Valley Planning Commission Page 1 of 2 ATTACHMENT D b. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment. Finding(s): i. The proposed amendment will streamline the outdoor lighting development review process and provide flexibility in lighting choices. The requirement to shield lighting trespass will minimize glare and mitigate off-site impacts. ii. The public health,safety,welfare,and protection of the environment are furthered by ensuring that the City's development regulations are consistent with goals and policies in the adopted Comprehensive Plan. 2. Conclusion(s): a. The proposed city initiated code text amendment is consistent with the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and the approval criteria contained in SVMC 17.80.150(F). b. The Growth Management Act stipulates that the comprehensive land use plan and development regulations shall be subject to continuing review and evaluation by the City. Recommendations: The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends City Council adopt the proposed City- initiated code text amendments to SVMC 22.60 as attached.

Summary: The Edward Byrne Memorial Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) Program (42 U.S.C. 3751(a)) is the primary provider of federal criminal justice funding to state and local jurisdictions. JAG funds support all components of the criminal justice system, from multijurisdictional drug and gang task forces to crime prevention and domestic violence programs, courts, corrections, treatment, and justice information sharing initiatives. JAG-funded projects may address crime through the provision of services directly to individuals and/or communities and by improving the effectiveness and efficiency of criminal justice systems, processes, and procedures. City of Spokane Valley Expenditures: 1) $18,500 — Mobile Data Computers (3) 2) $2,112 — Bullet-proof Speakers (3) Purpose and Goals: The City of Spokane Valley requests Justice Assistance Grant (JAG) monies in the amount of $20,612 to fund various law enforcement smart policing programs as well as to enhance officer safety and wellness for the SVJAG13 Project. The goal of the SVJAG13 Project is to equip the Spokane Valley Police Department with the necessary tools to support evidenced-based City of Spokane Valley—JAG Grant 2013 July 23,2013 Page 2 of 2 programs. The City of Spokane Valley will use $18,500 to purchase three (3) mobile data computers/printers/accessories that are rugged in design and can withstand extreme temperature fluctuations. Mobile data computers will allow officers to practice intelligence-led policing by accessing state and federal criminal databases and GPS mapping software. The computers will enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of officers by allowing them review hot spot crime data, scan driver licenses and vehicle registrations to auto-fill reports and citations, referencing policy and procedures, training bulletins, obtain photos of suspects, receive rapid responder information immediately, upload reports to the report system, and utilize intelligence led policing and data. $2,112 will be used to purchase three (3) bullet-proof speakers that will improve officer safety by placing the speakers in an existing bullet-proof partition at the public counter. The speakers will provide a complete bullet-proof barrier between the public lobby and the personnel working behind the counter. The speakers will also improve communication between officers at the counter and members of the public. Top Five Project Identifiers • Computer Software/Hardware • Community Policing • Criminal Intelligence Information Systems • Data Sharing/Linkage • Officer Safety Responsibilities: The Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of an eligible unit of local government or other officer designated by the CEO must submit the application for JAG funds.
