City Manager's Budget Message
Annual Budget For
Fiscal Year 2008
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
It is my pleasure to present the budget document for the fiscal year of 2008, which represents the
combined efforts of the City Council, staff and citizens. This year, the City Council, Planning
Commission and citizens gave much attention to drafting a complete overhaul of the land use
regulations that govern all development activities within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley. Their efforts to compose the Uniform Development Code should streamline the
development process and clarify regulatory provisions that otherwise create uncertainty about
allowable activities and standards to be met. Community representatives also concentrated great
effort on the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan that endeavors to create a City Center
incorporating community building; urban, commercial, and housing opportunities; and spurs
reinvestment all along the city's main corridor. Citizens are invited to track the progress of both
initiatives on the City website: www.spokanevalley.org.
Budget Highlights
The 2008 budget continues to recognize the dynamic and changing environment within which
the City must operate. The budget process has been used to reinforce the City's commitment to
delivering its core services in a cost effective manner. A summary of key budget highlights for
review by the Council and community follows:
Revenue: Gentle Growth: Revenue projections for the 2008 fiscal year have been increased
anticipating a sustained pace of building activity as well as greater sales tax
receipts, although 2007 retail sales are growing at a lesser percentage than in
previous years. The City's six-year financial forecast shows conservative revenue
growth beyond 2008; however, those estimates will fluctuate according to
changing trends in the economy.
2
Expense: Moderate Growth in Current Operational Expenses: Investing in the essential
core services identified by the Council and community creates baseline costs that
are currently growing at a higher rate than tax revenues. Even with a relatively
small city staff, quality service delivery requires ongoing investment in basic
capacity to provide efficient operations. As the City evolves into the fifth year of
its start-up phase, personnel costs, along with the price of operating supplies and
charges for contract services, escalate at the rate of 6%to 8% annually.
Fact: Public Safety costs dominate the municipal budget: In 2008, Police, Court and
Jail related services will cost $18,828,300—almost twice the $10,496,500
anticipated property taxes for the entire year. That equals 179% of all the local
property tax. That's what happens with your dollars when you pay your
taxes.
Capital
Investments: Successful Grantsmanship Pays
Dividends: City staff actively pursues
funding commitments from other
sources to help pay the cost of needed q ' .
capital improvements—roads, bridges ��dscHOOL
and parks—that benefit the SPEED
community. The 2008 capital ; LIMIT
construction program totals 20
WHEN
$12,738,800, of which the City will ; FLA$MNG
contribute $5,286,140, or,just 41%. YOUR
1 f. SPEED
Street Fund: State Funding of Local Roadway
Maintenance Insufficient: This fund
derives its revenues from an allocation , `: , "-
of the state Motor Fuel Tax distributed ti r
to cities and towns. Currently, the City
receives only about $2.25 million, or, = - '
about 50% of the funds needed to pay
(
for street maintenance activities like
snow plowing, pothole repair,
resurfacing eroded lanes, sweeping,
weed control, street lighting, traffic
i
signals and a variety of other repairs. --4
The problem facing Spokane Valley -.4
for the foreseeable future will be _ • t
closing that gap between street related eft _ -
revenues and costs. Any decline in
routine maintenance expenditures will
result in noticeable differences in the
conditions of local streets.

Pavement: In an attempt to determine how best to keep the surfaces and bases (underground
support) of roads in proper condition, a Street Master Plan was prepared that
itemizes the positive and negative conditions of our city street system, and
identifies the repair needs and costs associated with maintaining our 437 miles of
roadway. The report details the need for an additional annual investment of
$4,500,000 in street preservation work to keep the street system from
deteriorating and triggering much more expensive repair work in the future.
The Current Fiscal Year in Review:
The fourth full year of operating Washington's newest city marked additional progress in
addressing community issues and defining desirable goals for the future. Citizen participation
was ample in the proceedings of the City Council, Planning Commission, and at community
gatherings discussing the launch of a City Center initiative as the lynchpin of the
Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan. Residents and business people provided city officials
with their views on the broad range of issues related to economic development and land use
regulations. The City Council welcomes public comments and works to balance the various
interests expressed when enacting ordinances intended for the protection and enhancement of the
quality of life in Spokane Valley. City representatives embrace continuous learning, attend to a
heavy workload, and take pleasure in achieving results that affect the community in a positive
way. Some of those results are reflected in the substantial progress in meeting the 2007 budget
goals.
4
Progress in Attainment of the seven (7) Major Goals of 2007:
Continue monitoring wastewater issues, including governance of wastewater facilities,
enhanced citizen awareness of options for the future, and pursuit of the most efficient and
economical use of allowed wastewater discharges.
Council and staff collaborated with dischargers, environmentalists and regulatory agencies. A
Mitigation Implementation Plan (MIP) associated with an acceptable Total Maximum Daily
Load ruling was accepted by the Washington State Department of Ecology. Monitoring of the
MIP will continue, as well as collaboration on governance issues.
Explore the available telecommunications infrastructure along the Sprague/Applewav
Corridor that may be accessed by public institutions, residents, and businesses within Spokane
Valley.
The City has contacted current fiber optic franchise holders for specifications deemed non-
proprietary in nature. Receipt of relevant data is anticipated by December.
, d
4 It *VI
Adopt a sub-area plan for the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan and initiate the
implementation of achievable recommendations.
An administrative draft of the sub-area plan was finalized and public outreach briefings are
ongoing.
Amend the comprehensive plan to reflect accommodation of Spokane Valley population
projections within and adjacent to city limits, and to outline annexation policies.
City representatives have completed the necessary tasks within their control. The City must now
await Spokane County's finalization of its updated Countywide Comprehensive Plan before
proceeding further on this goal. The County may not address Urban Growth Areas until 2008,
thereby postponing consideration of annexation proposals until next year.
5
Adopt a Street Master Plan and draft a financial strategy to implement the plan.
A well-defined Street Master Plan has been prepared and presented to the City Council. The
Plan identifies the current condition of city streets and recommends appropriate improvements
and maintenance that preserve the value and structural integrity of the local transportation
system. Formal adoption of the Plan is anticipated before year-end.
Establish departmental priorities and incorporate them into a six-year business plan for
each department that includes forward looking budget and funding implications.
The initial draft was assembled in a cooperative process by all departments and was presented
at the June Council retreat. The first year elements are incorporated in the 2008 Budget.
Adopt a Uniform Development Code that
implements the Comprehensive Plan.
This year and a half long project to streamline
all local development regulations came to
fruition thanks to the massive effort and time
_ Development Code
Uniform invested by the Planning Commission, City
Councilmembers, stakeholders and staff.
___ Council adopted the new development code in
September.
The Budget for Fiscal Year 2008
Balanced Budget Adopted:
One of the most important fiscal goals to pursue when operating a governmental enterprise is the
creation and maintenance of financial reserves that may be relied upon over time to sustain
critical public services. The 2008 budget reflects two notable achievements in this regard.
1. Achievement of the goal to establish a$5,000,000 Civic Building Reserve Fund to
support the construction of a City Hall.
2. Achievement of the goal to establish and maintain a Building Facilities Repair and
Replacement Fund to pay for major repairs and/or eventual replacement of CenterPlace
and the Police Precinct Building.
The 2008 budget is in balance; expenses have been paired with known or reasonably predictable
revenues. The budget is designed to maintain the 15% positive fund balance at year end that
provides for the city's cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal
responsibility, special attention was given to limiting the growth in new programs and financial
commitments while City revenue and expenditure patterns further stabilize. This approach
6
allows available resources to be put toward sustaining services that are consistent with the City
Council's priorities for 2008 and beyond.
Department Achievements:
Each of the City's departments undertook an aggressive work program in 2007. The budget
document contains descriptions of their accomplishments for the year and their goals for next
year. I invite city residents to acquaint themselves with the efforts made by municipal
employees on your behalf. I leave to the department heads the pleasure of sharing their recent
successes and goals for the coming year.

Ten new positions were included in the budget proposal as we strive to address the
demands of a city that has grown to 88,280 people.
As we pass through the formative stages of community building, this City has taken a
conservative approach to adding new staff. Spokane Valley continues to have the lowest
employee count of any Washington city over 50,000 in population. (Please see the attached
2007 Work Force Comparison.) The City Council was responsive to personnel needs that arose
in 2007 to improve customer service for building and development activities, CenterPlace
programs and internal services. As we grow and mature as a city, our customers and citizens
have increased their service demands creating the need for an additional ten (10) new employee
positions within the various general and enterprise funds expressed in the 2008 budget.
Major Goal Statements for 2008:
The 2008 budget reflects the distribution of resources consistent with the Council's core services
priorities. The following goals represent just very broad areas of concentration important to the
well being of the community:
7
Continue monitoring wastewater issues, including governance of wastewater facilities, and
pursuit of the most efficient and economical methods to ensure the continuation of wastewater
discharges licenses.
Refine initial departmental six-year business plans in order to identify and incorporate fiscal
impacts into a strategic financial plan.
Formulate a Six-Year Strategic Financial Plan by July 2008 that forecasts expected revenues
and expenses; incorporates the cost elements of departmental business plans; identifies fiscal
constraints; and, proposes formulas for Council consideration that institute sustainable budget-
balancing approaches and itemizes necessary service reductions or revenue increases or
combinations thereof
Initiate implementation of the sub-area
plan for the Sprague/Appleway Sprague -- A p p l e w a y
Revitalization Plan. • •

Adopt area-wide rezoning proposals

Acknowledgments:
In closing, it has been a pleasure to work with the Council and individual City departments to
accomplish the goals they established. I look forward to continued work with the City's team in
the coming year to deliver the services funded by citizens of Spokane Valley. I genuinely
appreciate the citizens of Spokane Valley, the City Council and individual staff members who
have made it possible for the City to successfully pursue a bright future. Everyone involved
continues to give generously of their time and energy during this period of heavy workloads and
program development; they have risen well to the many challenges facing a young City. Thanks
also for the patience and feedback from the many citizens who have shown an abiding interest in
the community or volunteered their time to improve the quality of life in Spokane Valley.
Respectfully,
David Mercier, City Manager

FROM: Ken Thompson, Finance & Administrative Services Director
DATE: June 18, 2007
SUBJECT: About the Budget and the Budget Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff
and community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the
budget for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget provides four functions:
1. A Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will
reflect the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy
document, the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the
actual day-to-day activities of the City staff.
2. An Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization
have been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process
will help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they
relate to each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. A Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City
operations. The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those
activities, future implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. A Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light,
preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A
of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced
budget and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the
legal authority to expend public moneys and controls those expenditures by limiting the
amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along
with available cash carry-forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account
9
unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
Year 2008 Budget Process
The City of Spokane Valley operates on a calendar year basis. It utilizes an incremental
budgeting approach that assumes, for most functions of government, that the current year's
budget is indicative of the base required for the following year. Any increases are
incremental and based on need defined by the organization's budget policies, emerging issues,
Council goals,and available resources.
The formal budget planning begins in the spring with discussions between the City Manager
and City Council during a mid-year retreat. Following the retreat, the City Manager and the
Department Directors prepare the preliminary budget based upon the City Council priorities.
The City Council reviews the preliminary budget beginning in July.
In April of 2007, departments prepare requests for new staff, programs, or significant
increases to their current year budget that will address emerging issues and other operational
needs. In their requests, the departments identify the problem that they are trying to address,
the recommended solution, implementation plan, projected cost and expected outcomes. The
Finance Department and City Manager conduct an analysis of the departmental base budgets
and the revenue outlook for the coming year to determine the availability of funds for any
new initiatives. During May and June, the departments also develop their base budgets.
These budget requests are submitted to the Finance Department by the middle of May.
In early June, the City Manager reviews each department's budget requests and develops a
preliminary budget recommendation.
As mandated by RCW 35A.33.135, the first requirement is that the City Manager submit
estimated revenues and expenditures to the City Council on or before the first Monday in
October. The preliminary budget is presented to the City Council in late July. Public hearings
are held to obtain taxpayers' comments, and revisions as applicable, are made. The Council
makes its adjustments to the preliminary budget and adopts by ordinance a final balanced
budget no later than December 31. The final operating budget as adopted is published,
distributed, and made available to the public during the first three months of the following
year.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage.
Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department
directors to ensure that funds are within the approved budget. Finance provides financial
updates to the City Council to keep them current with the City's financial condition. Any
budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council ordinance.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the
City Council.
10
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or
decrease the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance approved by one
more than the majority after holding one public hearing.

City of Spokane Valley
Selected Budget Policies
Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget
proposals in line with City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for
implementing them once they are approved.
The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation
and administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance
with applicable State of Washington statutes governing local government
budgeting practices.
The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems,
formulating solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective
actions.
Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing
those services.
Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval will occur through the
ordinance process at the fund level prior to fiscal year end.
The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services
plan in a Councillconstituent-friendly format.
The City will pursue ending fund balances for operating funds at a level of no less
than 8%of revenue.
Beginning in 2010, short term debt shall not exceed 10% of revenues. No long
term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the
debt. Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
The City will maintain equipment replacement funds that will receive annually
budgeted contributions from the operating expenses of departments owning the
capital equipment in an amount necessary to replace the equipment at the end of
its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions will be reviewed
annually as part of the budget process.

BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed
by the State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW),
Chapter 43.09.200, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as
set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of
which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a
separate set of double-entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity,
revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are
allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose.
The following are the fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state
and local government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a
spending or "financial flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only
current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance sheets. The
operating statements of governmental funds measure changes in financial position,
rather than net income. They present increases (revenues and other financing sources)
and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current assets. There are
four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial
resources except those.required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance
particular activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include the
Street Fund, Arterial Street Fund, Trails & Paths Fund, Hotel/Motel Fund, CenterPlace
Operating Reserve Fund, Service Level Reserve Fund, Civic Facilities Reserve Fund,
and Winter Weather Reserve Fund.
Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of
debt. Debt Service funds are comprised of the Debt Service LTGO 03.
Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include the
Capital Project Fund, Special Capital Projects Fund, Streets Capital Projects Fund,
14
Mirabeau Point Capital Project Fund, CDBG Fund, Capital Grants Fund, Barker Bridge
Federal Grant Fund, and Parks Capital Projects Fund.
Proprietary Fund Types
Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the
private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of
providing services, including depreciation, which based on the commercial model
uses a flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating
statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income
(revenues and expenses) and both current and non-current assets and liabilities are
reported on related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (net total assets) is
segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components. As described
below,there are two generic fund types in this category:
Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general
public and are supported primarily by user charges. The Stormwater Management
Fund is included in this group of funds.
Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other
departments or funds of the City. The Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund and
Risk Management Fund are included in this group of funds.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the
accounts and reported in the financial statements. The City of Spokane Valley uses
a modified accrual basis of accounting. Modified accrual recognizes revenues when
they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current
period. The basis of accounting for enterprise and internal service funds is full
accrual. The appropriate basis is used throughout the budgeting, accounting, and
reporting processes. Full accrual is a method of accounting that matches revenues
and expenses with the period to which they relate, rather than focusing on actual
cash flows.
In this m ethod, for example, an asset is depreciated as it is "used up," and the
expense is recognized in periodic increments, rather than assuming the asset holds
its value until it is actually disposed of. However, since the focus of budgeting is on
the revenues and expenditure accounts, depreciation and amortization are not
considered budgetary accounts, and are excluded from the budgeting system.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds. These funds are budgeted on
the modified cash basis of accounting. The financial statements include budgetary
comparisons for those funds.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for
expenditures. Annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the fiscal period end.

EXPLANATION OF REVENUE SOURCES
GENERAL.FUND REVENUES:
Property Tax Revenue
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the
City to a$3.60 levy per$1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of$1.50 by the
Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting $0.50 for library levies, which
leaves the City with the authority to levy $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be
established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the levy year. It is anticipated the City will
levy an amount very close to the$1.55 rate.
Local Retail Sales and Use Tax
The local retail sales and use tax is comprised of two separate .5% options with the County
receiving 15% of.each .5%. After deducting .01% as a County administrative fee, the City's
effective rate is .84%.
Local Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes,
such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at up to 3/10 of 1% of retail
sales transacted in a County. Beginning in 2005, an additional .1% voter approved increase in
sales tax was devoted to public safety purposes.
Gambling Tax Revenues
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to
gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be
used for any general government purpose.
Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April,
July, and October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following
rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Games (2% gross, less
prizes); Card playing(10%gross)and Punch-Boards/Pull Tabs(5%gross, less prizes).
Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties.
Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This is a
fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets,alleys,and other public properties.
16
State-Shared Revenues
State-shared revenues are received for liquor sales, and motor vehicle excise taxes including
travel trailer and camper excise tax. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and
shared with local governments based on population. State-shared revenues are distributed on
either a monthly or quarterly basis,although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same
month of the quarter.
The 2007 population figure used in the 2008 Preliminary Budget is 88,000 as determined by the
Office of Financial Management for Washington State. This figure is important when
determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
Liquor Board Profits and Liquor Excise Tax
Cities receive a share of both liquor board profits and liquor excise tax receipts. The profits are
distributed on the last day of March, June, September, and December. The excise portion is
distributed on the last day of January, April, July, and October. To be eligible to receive these
revenues, a city must devote at least two percent of the distribution to support an approved
alcoholism or drug addiction program.
Service Revenues .
Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Spokane Valley. Most of the fees in the
General Fund are construction inspections and permits related to services such as planning,
zoning,and building.
Fines and Forfeitures
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous
rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State. The. City, on average,
keeps less than 50%of the amount collected.
Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees
offset some of the costs related to providing the program.
CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include
conferences, weddings, receptions, and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms, the Great
Room, and dining rooms.
Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax,property tax, and fund investments.
17
OTHER FUND REVENUES:
STREET FUND:
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax(gas tax)

the furnishing of lodging by a hotel, rooming house, tourist court, motel, trailer camp and other
transient accommodations in the City. The tax rate is 2 percent of the selling price or charge
made for the lodging. It is collected and administered by the Washington State Department of
Revenue. State law requires that these taxes be credited to a special fund with limitations on use,
principally to generate tourism/convention activities that bring new visitors to our area, as
prescribed by RCW 67.28.180.

COMMUNITY PROFILE AND HISTORY
"You cannot look to the future if you do not know the past. "
On May 21,2002,voters within the City approved incorporation of the City of Spokane Valley,
which is the second largest city in the County and the seventh largest city in the State,with
approximately 88,000 residents. The City incorporated as of March 31, 2003. The assessed
valuation of real property within the boundaries of the City for taxation purposes is estimated for
2008 tax collection to be approximately $6,606,000,000. Spokane Valley encompasses
approximately 38.2 square miles of land area. It has an extensive retail tax base and is home to
several major auto dealerships and the Spokane Valley Mall, which includes over 700,000 square
feet of gross leasable floor area. There are an estimated 4,000 businesses in Spokane Valley with
estimated retail sales of$1.66 billion.
The first permanent settler in the Spokane Valley was Antoine Plante, a retired French-Canadian
trapper. Mr. Plante built a cabin near the Spokane River in 1849, from which he operated a
small Hudson's Bay Company trading post. Other settlers began arriving in this area between
1865 and 1882. "Firsts"to occur in Spokane Valley include the first settler in 1849, first
business and ferry in 1850,the first store and bridge in 1862,the first house in 1866, and the first
post office in 1867. All of these"firsts"occurred before the arrival in 1873 of James Glover
who was considered the"Father of Spokane."
In 1883,the Northern Pacific Railroad opened the west up with the transcontinental railroad.
The new railroad, coupled with the discovery of silver in north Idaho, created an influx of people
to the Spokane Valley area. Within a few years the Spokane area was connected to the rest of
the country by five transcontinental railroads.
The next major innovation to Spokane Valley was the introduction of irrigation to the area.
Within 20 years 30,000 acres of dry land had been converted into fertile farm land. The first
irrigation systems were constructed between 1899 and 1905. The Valley population grew from
1,000 residents at the turn of the century to nearly 10,000 by 1922. During this time apple
growing became the predominant agricultural crop with nearly 2 million apple trees being
planted by 1912. As the population of the Valley increased, small communities with churches,
schools, businesses, community clubs, and other organizations thrived.
88
Prior to World War II,the federal government made a decision to build an aluminum plant in
Spokane Valley along the Spokane River. Additionally,the federal government identified a need
for warehouse space and facilities to support coastal activities during the war. In 1942, Spokane
Valley was chosen as a site for one of theses Inland Supply Depots. The Naval Storage Yards
are now the Valley Industrial Park that has 5,000,000 square feet of gross leasable floor area.
Rapid growth continued in Spokane Valley throughout the 1950s, 60s, and 70s. Along with this
continued growth came concerns regarding the impact of the development on the Valley
environment. Citizens' concerns were related to impacts to lakes in the area as well as the
aquifer underlying a majority of the Spokane Valley. No protections were put into place to
address these issues; sanitary sewers were not required for new construction.
Steady residential and commercial growth continued in the Spokane Valley throughout the 80s
and 90s. High tech companies followed Hewlett Packard into the Liberty Lake area. Later,
some high tech companies moved into the Industrial Park. The State Board of Health threatened
to enact a moratorium on new development in 1983, unless sewering of the Valley began. In
response, Spokane County developed a wastewater management plan that put into motion
construction of a sewer trunk line and a sanitary sewer system was made available to the citizens
of Spokane Valley.
MAJOR PUBLIC FACILITIES AND PARKS IN SPOKANE VALLEY
There are public facilities and a number of parks in the City of Spokane Valley. The Spokane
Indians, a minor league baseball team,plays its home games at Avista Stadium, located just
inside the city limits on the east side of Havana Street. This stadium is one of the finest facilities
in the Northwest League and can seat 7,200 spectators. Situated next door to Avista Stadium is
the Spokane County Fair and Exposition Center. The Fairgrounds were expanded in 2003 with
the construction of a new covered grandstand that was opened at the 2003 Interstate Fair.
Various other shows and events are held throughout the year at the Fairgrounds.
Mirabeau Point Park, situated on 54.5 acres of land, located between Pines Road and Evergreen
Road interchanges (north of I-90), along the south bank of the Spokane River, is the home of
CenterPlace.
CenterPlace, a 54,000 square foot facility,was built to accommodate a regional senior center,
education and business center, and a cultural and performing arts center.
Mirabeau Meadows is a 15-acre parcel of land providing another area for community activities,
such as family get-togethers and games, outdoor music, corporate outings, farmers markets, arts
and crafts,and other special events in Mirabeau Point Park. Valleyfest, an annual community
event that is sponsored by individuals and businesses in our City,was held in this park in 2004.

THE FUTURE OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Spokane Valley: a community of opportunity where individuals and families can grow and play,
and business will flourish and prosper.
The potential of Spokane Valley is tremendous,with an adequate tax base and room for
expansion of residential, commercial, and industrial growth. Spokane Valley rivals other cities
in Eastern Washington in terms of population and significance in the region.
The City is committed to planning for the future. It has adopted its first Comprehensive Plan,
and its first Parks and Recreation Master Plan. It is in the process of creating a
Sprague/Appleway revitalization plan to promote redevelopment of the major east-west corridor.
The City is also creating a street master plan.
