Chris Bainbridge, City Clerk
City Clerk Bainbridge called roll; all councilmembers were present.
1. Convention Visitor's Bureatt/Tourism Promotion Area Update- Harry Sladich
Convention Bureau President and CFO Harry Sladich gave a presentation which focused on the Bureau's
marketing and-tourism, explained the 2007 proposed budget and highlighted some of the 2006 successes
concerning national visibility. Mr. Sladich distributed copies of some of their marketing materials, as
well as a copy of the new in-flight magazine for Alaska Airlines, which will be used for the entire month
of February.
2. Re-review Uniform Development Code (UDC) `T'itles 17 and 20 - Marina Sukup/Greg, McCormick
Community Development Director Sukup explained that this is a re-review of UDC Title 17 and 20, with
the suggested changes shown in red-line forniat.
Title 17: Council was satisfied with the changes shown for Title 17 and gave consensus to move forward
with that title for formal approval as changed.
Title 20: Council was satisfied with the changes shown, but discussed several other possible changes.
Concerning page 10, #15, Councilmembers asked if the Fire Department was going to be added to that
list, to which Mr. McCormick replied that he spoke with Fire Marshall Kevin Miller who responded to
Mr. McCormick just yesterday that having the Fire District on as a signer would be advantageous for
them. It was Council consensus to add the fire department to the list on page 10, #15. Mr. McCormick
added that the district responding would be either District # I or District,98.
20.10.080 General Design, 42-b-iii: much discussion ensued regarding this statement and of the statement
under 20.30.20, 49: Street addresses for each lot shall be shown. Questions arose concerning residents on
more than one lot, or on corner lots. Ms. Sukuip mentioned that the address generally shown is where the
front door would be, which generated further discussion concerning an unimproved lot and not knowing
where a front door might be located; although Ms. Sukup mentioned the front of the lot is generally
known, that it is a design issue of not having addresses perpendicular to each other, and there are setbacks
and fencing requirements to take into consideration; which lead to further discussion about homes with
four or more backyards against a side yard; aesthesis; house orientation being the property owner's
choice; layout tied to driveways and utilities; allowing people to encroach on neighbor's property; and
Meeting Minutes: 01-30-2007 Page t of3
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
that it the house orientation doesn't cause problems with fire safety, utilities or traffic flow, the City
should not dictate which way the front of the house would face. It was also mentioned that if the owner
wants to change the resident's orientation, there is no fee involved with doing such a change of address.
It was moved by Counucilmember DeNeming and seconded to eliminate 92-b-iii raider section 20.10.030.
Vote by Acclamation: In.Favor: Alayor Wilhite, Deputy Mcrvor Taylor, and Counucilmembers Schimmels,
Denenny, De Mining, and Munson. Opposed.- Councilmember Gothmann. Abstentions: None. Motion
carried.
20.20.020 Contents of Application: #le: consensus to add "or format approved by the director."
20.30.010 #4: consensus to add "or format approved by the director."
20.30.20 Contents of Final flat: #15 h: Consensus to add: "Hearing Examiner for final subdivision plats
only."
Other matters discussed included emergency evacuation; that the issue likely belongs in design and
development swridards (Title 22); that new Building Official Martin is researching for examples of cities
that deal with that issue, specifically for wild fire; and that Association of Washington Cities may have
such example cities.
There was Council consensus to move Title 20 fbi-ward for formal approval as changed.
Mayor Wilhite called for a recess at 7:14 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:19 p.m.
3. Continued Review UDC Title 21. and Shoreline Maste lan -Marina Sukup/Greg McCormick ~
Community Development Director Sukup explained that the Planning Commission held a public hearing
last Thursday on this matter, which hearing was a continuation of a public hearing held earlier; that in
connection with the critical areas and shoreline master program, the Department of Ecology
representative said at that meeting last week, that they didn't think the shoreline section was ready;
subsequently, the Planning; Commissioners asked City Attorney Connelly if, in the event the City adopts a
new shoreline master program and the Department of Ecology doesn't approve it, does that mean there is
no shoreline master program? Attorney Connelly explained that if we were to pass the shoreline
management act which would later be declared invalid, we would have to repeal that and reapply the old
shoreline management act ; not doing so would present other problems in having one set of rules, and
then having to go back to apply a different set of rules which also means tremendous enforcement issues.
Mr. Connelly said that this just occurred last week and staff should know more later; and that Ms. Sukup
asked for but has not yet received from DOE, a detailed list of concerns. Ms. Sukup said the :Planning
Commission would continue the public hearing and hope to hear from the DOE. Mr. McCormick
mentioned some of the flexible thresholds mentioned on pages 1 and 2 under section 21.20.040; and
added that the Planning Commission has not yet formed their recommendation to Council.
Further discussion included the floodplain hazard and that the proposal includes updates incorporated in
the Washington Model Ordinance as well as special provisions for flood storage resulting from the recent
completion of the Chester Creek re-study; and added that the proposal has been reviewed by FEMA and
the Washington Department of Ecology; wetlands buffer areas and the chart on page 20 were briefly
discussed; and it was mentioned that staff has identified the need for a footnote concerning the site classes
shown at the top of page 29. Deputy Alayor `T'aylor asked about the Spokane Rivet. being a shoreline of
statewide significance (page 31 #4); and APIs. Sukup added that the sentence is not accurate as it should
state that 200 feet is a area of shorelines jurisdiction; and that she will revise that sentence. ,

MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Wilhite reported that Mayor Hession invited her to discuss animal control
matters with him; that regarding a memorandum Councilmembers received from Spokane County `
regarding the north/south corridor, that the County seeks the City's support of that project; and she
encouraged all councilmembers to look at their e-mail to read that memorandum, and give feedback to
Mayor Wilhite.
PUBLIC COMAUNITS: Mayor Wilhite invited general public comments.
Ozzie Knezovich, 1100 West Mallon; Spokane: concerning the use of CenterPlace, he said that it started
out as an idea of a partnership with Spokane County Sheriffs Office, the Spokane Valley Police
Department, and the Community Colleges; that this project began in 2004; in April 2005 they started
laying some groundwork, that they intended to move into -CenterPlace by September 2005, but after eight
months of contract negotiations, the contract wasn't signed by then Sheriff Sterk until March 2006, and
they moved into the building in July. Fle explained their ability to bring in regional training including
offering FBI Leadership training, and said that one of his goals is to make it a requirement that in order to
work for the Sheriff's Office, officers must have a two-year degree; and these college credits will assist
officers in working toward that goal. He said he hopes Council will look at the dynamics that went on to
make this project work, and of the economic impact already felt to the Valley. He added that they have
asked the City Manager on multiple times to allow the Sheriff's office to give him a presentation on this
subject; and Sheriff Knezovich extended that same invitation to the Council.
Gail Stiltner. 10119 E 44`x' Avenue: concerning the Sheriff's Office use of CenterPlace, she said from a
citizen's point of view, she is concerned about the spirit of what that means to the community; that she
sees nothing compelling in the presentation to deny the sub-lease; and it appears to be narrow
interpretations without a lot of common sense. She said that the courses seem to be of great value to the
citizens; that educations mentioned in the Certificate of the City, and she suggested we support their
efforts for job training and advancement; and feels they should be allowed to use the place and have a
slightly favored status; and that she understands it is an administrative decision but asks Council for a
motion of support.
Lee Cameron, Mirabeau Park Hotel Managing Partner and Owner: also concerning CenterPlace, he said
that he speaks in his capacity as a Chamber of Commerce Board member and represents that Board; that
the Chamber has taken up this issue, and that a motion was taken with unanimous support that the
Chamber forward the letter to Council that Council received tonight; that he is concerned but realizes
there are many details that need to be worked out. Mr. Cameron said the economic impact is substantial,
and in examining possible lost revenue in lodging and food, the lost revenue is likely $1.5 million dollars.
He added that if this activity is lost, there are competing communities attempting to get this piece of
business; and he'd hate to lose that economic impact.
Donna Orme. 13713 E .41" Avenue: said she has three concerns about signs: (1) traveling north on
Sullivan toward the interstate, that the signs that give direction to the interstate are too small and too close
to the interstate as by the time you can read them, there is not ample time to make a lane change if one
were in the incorrect lane; and that it is confusing that to no west, one needs to get in the east lane; (2)
regarding political signs, she said she would like them regulated, as it is annoying how much clutter they
make everywhere, and that they are up for too long a period; (3) concerning Division Street, she realizes it
is not in our jurisdiction, but thousands of people travel through the Valley toward Spokane and there is a
need to find that sign; that coming from the Valley there is only one small direction to Gonzaga but that
the sigm does not include Division and it should. She said that she has been trying to get that changed for
over two years but to no avail.
Dick Bchm, 36t26 S Ridgeview Drive: said that as a Board Member of the Spokane Valley Business
Association, he supports the Sheriffs position.

0 Chuck Hafner, 4710 S Woodruff: said that he has received numerous phone calls regarding this situation;
that he represents quite a few people geographically to the Spokane Valley, and he then spoke concerning
the letter from Parks and Recreation Director Mike Jackson regarding the termination of the lease with the
Sheriff's Office; and he stated that most of those issues could have been solved by talking with each
other. Mr. Hafner said that he spoke with Dave Mercier about why the entities have not had a meeting,
and he was told that once we set ford.i an obligation or a regulation when it comes to leases, that we can't
look at different circumstances. Mr. Hafner said there's always an exception to the case to make it right
for law enforcement for our valley citizens. He said that Sheriff Sterk and Cal Walker started this
program, and if it was right then, why isn't it right now. He said this matter should have been resolved at
the very beginning, and that Mr. Hafner wants a copy of the written statement from the bond attorney
concerning the Certificate of City.
Mayor Wilhite invited further public comment. As no further comments were forthcoming, Mayor
Wilhite thanked everyone for letting Council know their feelings and thoughts about the various matters.

providing all services; that they have performed full service with no additional billing. Mayor Wilhite

Tony Lazanis, 10626 E Empire: again expressed his views that the City should control the Valley's assets
specifically regarding the wastewater treatment plant; and that we need to own the plant.
ADMTNISTIZATW REPORTS:
4. Wastewater Update - Bruce Rawls
Spokane County Utilities Director Bruce Rawls gave a brief update on the wastewater program activities,
and discussed the facility plan, the reclaimed water use study, water reclamation facility, the financial
plan and rite study, and the TMDL, (Total A ax_imum Daily Load) Collaboration-Oversight Committee.
Mr. Rawls also mentioned they are going to meet with Department of Ecology (DOE) Representatives
tomorrow, and anticipate receiving the DOE comments by the end of this month. Mr. RaNvIs added that
he is aware of Council's concerning with sewer rates, and he would propose a joint meeting with the City
of Spokane Valley and the Board of County Commissioners, during which meeting staff would present a
report including significant impact to any alternatives. After brief council discussion concerning probable
fixture costs, capital needs, operation and maintenance costs, inflation, and cost of future electricity and
chemicals, Council thanked Mr. Rawls for his presentation.
Mayor Wilhite called for a recess at 7:20 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:30 p.m.
5. Spokane County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan Update - Suzanne Tresko & Damon
Taam
Spokane Regional Solid Waste System. Regional Recycling Coordinator Suzanne Tresko, and Contract
Manager Damon Taam reported on the Summary of the Alternatives presented in the draft, 2007 Spokane
County Comprehensive Solid Waste Management Plan, which alternatives are the choices or options that
each adopting city and the County need to consider for inclusion in the final plan. Via their PowerPoint,
Mr. Taam started by explaining the basics of what the plan requires, of the review period, and that they
are in the process of review now and gathering public comments. They also discussed the draft financial
model, and mentioned upcoming Spokane Valley public meetings of March 14 and 15. Mr. Tatum said
that after their outreach opportunities with the various municipalities, they would like another opportunity
to review this with Council.
6. Contracts and Purchasing Procedures - Cary Driskell
Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained that staff' is undertaking a review of the City's purchasing
policies and code provisions in order to later make recommendations to the Council for formal
amendments, which amendments should make the policies and code provisions easier to use; and that
following potential changes in the Code, staff will draft a comprehensive purchasing and contracting
procedure manual. Mr. Driskell said that some of our resolutions grant the City Manager contract level
authority without first having to acquire council authorization. He said there are no state law provisions
for cities of our size and form of government for establishing levels at which Council can authorize the
City Manager on contracts, and staff requests that the level for all four types of contract be set at the same
level, i.e., $200,000. The second issue deals with change orders, and staff proposes that for any contract
over the crap of $200,000, the City Manager would have blanket authority to approve change orders or
additional work under the contract up to 25% of the original contract amount. Mr. Driskell said that 25%
is a suggested amount, and that Council may want to discuss a different percentage. Councilinember
Munson voiced his concerns about the 25% increase as we could be working with a multi-million dollar
contract; and that while he feels Council doesn't necessarily need approval, he would like to have a least
an awareness of the financial changes. Councilmember Munson asked if our current policy results in
slowing down the process. Mr. Mercier explained that there are many times during a project, that as the
Council Meeting: 02-06-07 Page 4 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
0 roadway is open, there are conditions not previously known necessitating a change order; and in keeping
with the three-touches for changes, staff was seeking some way of giving Council a comfort level of
policy in how to handle these situations. Mr. Mercier said other options to explore would be some
combination; perhaps using a fixed percentage provided it doesn't generate some set amount of funds.
Councilmember Munson said he would like to see examples of how this would be implemented.
Concerning Mr. Driskcll's third issue addressed in his memorandum, Deputy Mayor Taylor said he would
have no objection to incorporating the authority from Resolutions 03-041 and 04-012 directly into the
City's Code. Further Council/staff discussion included the possibility of eliminating the three-touch rule
in these instances; discussion about researching what other cities might be doing; providing some
examples; and approving the changes in a similar manner as Council currently approves claim vouchers.
As this is the first touch on this issue, the matter will be brought back on a, future council agenda.
7 CenterPlace Regional Marketing and Communication Plan, and Uses of-Mike Jackson
Parks and Recreation Director Jackson went through his CenterPlace PowerPoi.nt presentation, which
included CenterPlace's mission statement, the purpose of a marketing plan, goals, research findings,
marketing strategies, and CenterPlace use. Mr. Jackson said he will have a draft fee schedule at the next
report which will show the fees for 2005, 2006, and 2007. Mr. Jackson also brought Council's attention
to the Desautel-Hegc regional Marketing and Communications Action Plan draft. Discussion ensued
regarding the Center and the way we operate it; the available space, filling a "niche"; marketing and the
Convention Visitor's Bureau; and of ways to simplify the rental process. The Center as a regional facility
was stressed, and Mr. Jackson explained that regional means outside Spokane County; i.e. Northeast
Washington, Northern Idaho, and Western Montana. The subject of the Community College's use was
brought up and lvlr. Jackson said a copy of the Certificate of City is included in Council's packet; that
tonight is to present a draft plan, and the topic can be discussed further within the next several weeks.
Council asked about the bond counsel's comments on the Certificate of City, and Ms. Regor said that
staff checked with bond counsel on the appropriate uses and they are listed in that Certificate of City; and
that the Desautel-Hege report also addresses types of uses in its report. Concerning a written guideline
for the Center's use, Ms. Regor said the examples that are in the Certificate of City are our guide as to
what we believe to be appropriate usage; and that Council has the prerogative of changing that if Council
feels staff is too narrowly focused or too broadly focused. After further questions, Mr. Mercier said that
staff would appreciate the continued opportunity to gather relevant information, and hopes to have more
information by March 5.
It i as moved by Councibnember Munson and seconded to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m. Vote by
Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Wilhite, Deputy ilfayor Taylor, and C'ouncilrnembers Denenny,
Gothinann, and Munson. Opposed: Coanicilmernbers De Heining and Schimmels. Abstentions: Alonc.
Motion carried.
$ Cable Franchise Report- Morgan Koudelka
Administrative Analyst Koudelka explained that Council previously adopted a resolution to continue the
Cable franchise agreement through March 5, 2007; and he then discussed the amendment process
including mention of his meetings with Comcast; and that the attached draft uses the City of Spokane's
recently adopted franchise agreement with Comcast as a foundation while incorporating citizen
comments; and that this draft agreement has been tailored based on specific Spokane Valley input, and
also incorporates our standard fTanchise agreement language regarding the use of public rights-of-,vay.
Mr. Koudelka also went over the "draft cable franchise agreement highlights" shown on the reverse side
of his Request for Council Action form. Discussion included regarding reserved bandwidth; the idea that
we could do as Spokane does concerning the 50¢ per month per subscriber to be used for the PEG
channel; and the mention that Comcast has agreed to the agreement. Mr. Koudelka said the plan is to
bring-an ordinance for council consideration at a future council meeting.

1. Economic Develonment Council's Fourth Quarter Report - Jim Huttenmaier
Mr. Huttenmaier thanked Council for the opportunity to discuss the 2006 Economic Development
Council's Year End Report. After Mr. HuUenmaier went through the highlight's of the report, he
mentioned he has copies for Council of the Greater Spokane Incorporated's brochure entitled "Spokane
Vitals," which is a new measurement tool used to help them examine various ways to measure this region
against others economically. He said that Robin Toth will be contacting Council to set up a time for them
to further discuss the Site Selector idea. Mayor Wilhite added that she and Mr. Huttenmaier have
discussed the EDC reports, and with Council concurrence, the EDC will submit their quarterly reports as
they have done in the past, but only report orally to council twice a year, unless there are unusual
circumstances or items council would like discussed. Council concurred. Councilmember Munson said
in future reports, he would like to have the funds broken out to show what is attributed to Spokane Valley.
2. Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) Call for Project - Steve Worley
Senior Engineer Worley explained that as in the past, Spokane Regional Transportation Council has
issued another call for projects for the expenditure of Federal Transit Administration (FTA) Section 5307
funds for transit-related projects. Mr. Worley said that they quickly put a list of projects together for the
project, and just yesterday received more information, hence he distributed a new "Project Application
Summary'' showing six proposed projects. Mr. Worley said that they examined bus routes and pavement
conditions and the new list shows which projects would help correct some of the road deficiencies, and
also address some ADA (American with Disabilities Act) issues along Sprague. Mr. Worley continued
by explaining that the highest passenger bus route is Bus Route 490; and the second highest bus passenger
route is 8'b Avenue. Mr. Worley also brought Council attention to the attached map showing the area of
the proposed projects; and that staff hopes to bring this matter back again next week for Council approval.
If approved, Mr. Worley said that the funds would be available for 2008-2011. Alter brief council
discussion, Council concurred that staff should proceed with this list and come back next week with
refined figures.

3. Street Sweeping Requests for Proposals -Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten explained that the County has provided street services for the City since
incorporation; and that street sweeping was one of the activities proposed to be fully contracted out in
2007 in the transition plan of the interlocal agreement; and that as part of that plan, the City hired AAA
Sweeping to perform the 2006 fall cleanup. Mr. Kersten further explained that staff submitted a request
for proposals but only received one proposal, from AAA Sweeping; and that he would like to get Council
concurrence to negotiate and develop a contract, and to bring the contract back for council's approval in a
few weeks. Mr. Kersten also stated that after we work with this company for a year, we would be in a
better position to determine if that company is the most cost effective, or to perhaps explore other options
such as having the service in-house; but that in-house also means equipment purchase, maintenance, and
storage. Mr. Kersten said this service is funded approximately 96% from the stormwater fund. Mr.
Mercier added that in the negotiated roadway maintenance contract with the County, that contract
provides for a three-year transition plan, but that the County would prefer not to provide these services;
and once we terminate those County services, we can't go back to the County. After brief Council
discussion, Council concurred that staff should negotiate the contract and bring this item back for council
approval.
4. Beverly Hills Drainage Improvements -Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten stated that this steep hillside area had sewers installed by the County in
2002, but at that time, the comprehensive drainage system was not addressed thereby causing heavy rains
to result in water and mud running into people homes. Mr. Kersten said that Spokane County spent
approximately S20,000-cleaning and re-grading the ditches after the sewer project, and has offered
another $25,000 to be used toward the cost of a comprehensive drainage plan for that area. Director
Kersten said that the plans and specifications for phase I were finalized in October, and although the
pre!ject was scheduled for bids in December, staff recommended delaying that bid until after the holiday
season; that bids are scheduled to be opened February 22; and after staff has had opportunity to review the
bids, this matter will be brought back to Council for further action.
5.2007 Sewer Pave back Program Memorandum of Understanding (1VIOU) -Neil Kersten
Public NVorks Director Kersten said that this MOU is identical to what was approved in the past; and he
then briefed Council on the three projects within our City limits: Grandview Acres, Trentwood, and
Spaldings. Mr. Kersten said that not all detailed plans and cost estimates are in yet; but that they have
budgeted $900,000 for road improvements, and $200,000 for drainage improvement. Mr. Kersten said
costs have increased; and that until we get all the plans, these figures are estimates; adding that final
approval of the CDBG (Community Development Block Grant) funds is not expected until the beginning
of March; and that the matter is scheduled for final council approval at the February 27 council meeting.
Mayor Wilhite called for a recess at 6:55 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:04 p.m.
6. Uniform Development Cade (UDC) `t'itle 21-Marina Sukup
Community Development Director Sukup went through her PowerPoint presentation of some of the major
components of Title 21 Environmental Controls, including provisions for compliance with the State
Environmental Policy Act (SEPA), as well as critical areas including floodplain hazards, wetlands
protection, and fish and wildlife conservation. Council discussion turned to lot coverage maximum and
setbacks, most of which Ms. Sukup explained are contained in Title 22 rather than Title 21. Also
discussed was the rationale behind the figures shown on slide #4, SEPA Flexible Thresholds, after which
Council concurred to have each threshold at the maximum rather than the automatic or recommended.
[City Attorney Connelly arrived at 7:16 p.m.] Councilmember Munson asked if anything has changed in
this title since they last discussed it and Ms. Sukup replied it has not; that the Planning Commission held
a public hearing February 8 and recommended this title move forward. Ms. Sukup said that the policy
question remains concerning the fish and wildlife conversation provisions, if the Director's authority to
allow reductions in the riparian buffer should be reduced from 25% to 10%, with 25% meaning the
director would have more discretion. Council concurred to keep that discretion at 25%. Discussion then

briefly turned to Title 17, and Ms. Sukup explained that the County typically sent shoreline substantial
O development pennits through as a conditional use permit through the Hearing Examiner, so the Hearing
Examiner and not the staff was actually issuing the permit; and that although the work has been
suspended on our shoreline master program, that is within the context administratively of how substantial
development permits are issued in the shoreline areas, and that those can be done administratively; and
that if done administratively, the appeal would be through the Shoreline Hearings Board; as requiring the
conditional use permit with the hearing Examiner, we would be making them go through an unnecessary
hearing, which is an expensive ($15,000) and lengthy (four to six months) process. Ms. Sukup mentioned
that these processes would all have to go through SEPA, which would give the public opportunity for
comment; and that any administrative determination appeal could be appealed through the Shorelines
Hearings Board; and that this would change it from a type three permit to a type two permit which is
issued administratively. It was council consensus to change that shoreline permit from a three to a type
two permit.
Councilmember Gothmann asked the intent of tomorrow night's meeting as several councilmembers have
concerns discussing titles which have not yet gone through the Planning Commission process. After brief
discussion, Council decided to cancel tomorrow night's meeting and discuss those titles after the Planning
Commission submits its recommendations to Council.
7. Advance Agenda Additions - Mayor Wilhite
Councilmember DeVleming mentioned that the Student Advisory Council is working on a project which
will create a situation for them to raise money for the project; and he asked how best to handle that,.
including possible procedures on setting up a bank account and/or appointing/creating a treasurer, adding
that this might also mean further bylaw modification; and said he would like to discuss those issues with
Mr. Mercier and Finance Director Thompson. Councilmember Munson suggested putting an item on a
future agenda to discuss options for establishing our own CDBG Entitlement zone. Concerning setting up
another Wednesday meeting to further discuss UDC titles, Mr. Munson mentioned he would be out of
town the first week in March. Mayor Wilhite also reminded Councilmembers of the March I meeting at
CenterPlace.
8. information only items. UDC Titles 19, 22 and 24; Cable Franchise Extension; and Department
Reports were not discussed but were included for information only.
9. Council Check-in - Mayor Wilhite
Councilmembers mentioned the benefits of having a lobbyist in Olympia, and of the positive aspects of
their legislative session last week; and that they felt they were better informed on what legislation is
moving through Olympia.
10. Citv Manger Comments - Dave Mercier
Mr. Mercier reported that this afternoon he and Mike Jackson met with Gary Livingston and Scott
Morgan from Spokane Community Colleges and talked about the Administrative Executive Summary,
and the administrative determination regarding the sublease for the Sheriffs Department., that they
acknowledged that the decision has been made and that the occupation at CenterPlace by the Sheriff's
Department will terminate by March 31 with the clear understanding that all of the regional type
programs that have been advertised can continue through September, and also other seminars can
continue as they fit within the allowed uses of the two control documents that have been used to govern
what would be the activity in that building; so that may continue but not the occupation of an office area
or in-service training; that there has been communication between City Hall and the Sheriffs Department
about moving forward and eliminating any external use, such as use of the parking lot for part of their
Q program. Mr. Mercier said they discussed about how to move forward with the Community College, and
whether we would be sharing business plans, and what is the highest and best use they could think of for
that building, what kind of programs do they think are marketable and feasible for the building; and that
we understand that enrollment is down across the board for community colleges. Mr. Mercier also stated
Meeting Minutes: 02-20-2007 Page 3 of 4
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
that we offered to incorporate productive language in our marketing program to further buffer what the
community colleges hope to accomplish; and as everyone gets a better sense of what the vision for the use
of the building is over time, it will be helpful for them all to work more synergistically together; and that
they also discussed a range of other options to explore. Again, Mr. Mercier said the conversation was
about the City's desire to find a way to make their occupation of the building as economically viable as
possible; and that they will be continuing conversations; that a different individual was named as the
contact person, i.e. Scott Morgan, and that he is more acclimated to the program side of what goes on for
the colleges as opposed to the facility management side; and that we hope we are improving our
communication with the college and see smoother sailing as time goes by. Mr. Mercier explained that the
executive summary has been composed and that adr.ni.nistrative determination is expressed there; and that
tends to the administrative side; and that he asked City Attorney Connelly to continue his discussions
with bond counsel to sort through the policy dimensions that would be available for council
consideration.
City Attorney Connelly stated that he put together a memorandum which outlines the legal constraints the
City has when establishing policy; that the legal constraints are a result of using the approximate seven
million dollars in bonds to build a portion of the building; that the City guaranteed those funds but they
are really being paid back by revenue derived from sales and hotel tax sources that were allowed under
statute that allows us to build regional facilities; and to preserve the flow of sales tax and hotel tax to pay
back the bonds, we have to follow certain rules for a portion of the CenterPlace; which rules are set forth
in statutes as mentioned in his memorandum; and that we must be sure that either 70 or 80% of the
building is used for that (regional) purpose. Mr. Connelly said that in the beginning, we identified some
additional funding that was used to build the senior center and there was some additional funding used to
complete the building, which is why it is not a total regional center and why a portion of it can be used for
nonregional purposes. Mr. Connelly said that the senior center was considered not a regional purpose and
the community college partially was considered not a regional purpose; but to make all the numbers fit ;
and to be consistent with our funding, we had to identify 20% of the leased space that the Community
College has, as space that had to be available for regional purposes as set forth in the statutes; and that to
keep in mind for that use, we look to the special event center definition, which is use such as community
events, sporting events, trade shows, and artistic, musical, theatrical, or exhibitions, presentations or
performances; and that what they determined when putting this all together, is that the community
colleges because of its nature as an educational institution, would likely have about 20% of their activities
that would fall within this definition, and therefore the 20% threshold would be met. Mr. Connelly said
as Council looks to develop other policy decisions about what they'~vant to use the facility for, Council
must keep in mind that no matter what we do, 20% of that space needs to be dedicated for regional use
pursuant to the statute.
Mr. Mercier said they do not anticipate further reporting to council on this particular item (sub-lease
matter) and when Council is ready to address policy issues; Mr. Mercier asks Council to inform staff and
staff will make space on an advance agenda.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 8:05 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Approval of Memorandum of Understanding
2007 Sewer Paveback Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: Spokane County's 2007 Septic Tank Elimination Program includes three
projects within the City of Spokane Valley:
Grandview Acres: This basin includes the area north of Fairview Avenue and south of the
Spokane River between Butler Road to the west and Pines Road to the east.
Trentwood: This project encompasses the area north of Trent Avenue and south of Wellesley
Avenue between Plante's Ferry Park to the west and Evergreen Road to the east.
Spaldings: This project is located on the east side of Spalding Auto Parts. Indiana Avenue
west of Montgomery Avenue is the only street that remains without sewer in this basin.
The designs of the Grandview Acres and Trentwood projects are 50% complete. The Spaldings
project is 80% complete. Paveback costs which determine the city's cost to provide full-width
paving and drainage improvements for the three sewer basins are summarized below:

Estimated Total Costs
$ 900,000
$ 200,000
r,
The City also applied for CDBG funds and was successful in obtaining a preliminary
recommendation in the amount of $62,950 to assist with full-width paving costs associated with
the Grandview Acres project. The CDBG funds are only available for a portion of the Grandview
Acres project area, specifically the portion north of Trent Avenue. Final approval of the CDBG
funds is not expected until the beginning of March.
As was done last year, Spokane County will bid the three projects with an alternate bid
schedule; one schedule with trenching and asphalt patching, another schedule with full-width
paving. The difference in bids between these two schedules reflects the City's costs. This
approach allows us to take. advantage of credits that Spokane County would typically pay for on
a trench/patch project. . These credits include pavement saw cutting, crack sealing, and
pavement surface sealing.
Attached is a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) regarding the City of Spokane Valley's
reimbursement to the county for our share of the paving and drainage costs.
OPTIONS: Approve the MOU or give further direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the Memorandum of
Understanding with Spokane County for the 2007 Sewer Program and authorize the City
Manager or designee to sign the document.

WHEREAS the CITY also desires that certain drainage improvements be constructed in areas that will be
impacted by the COUNTY's 2007 Sewer Construction Program; and

Spaldin gs Sewer Projects within the limits of the CITY, as identified in the COUNTY's adopted Six-Year
Sewer Capital Improvement Pro gram 2007-2012.
N0W THEREFORE, the CITY and the COUNTY do hereby agree as follows:
1. Prior to the bid of each project, the COUN'ITY shall provide the CITY with a set of project plans,
together with cost estimates indicating the extent of pavement removal and replacement to be paid for by
the COUNTY as a part of the sewer project. The CITY shall review the plans and estimate, and shall
advise the COUNTY regarding the extent to which the CITY desires to add pavement removal and
replacement, as well as the specific drainage improvements that the CITY would like to make in
conjunction with the project.
2. The COUNTY shall prepare bid documents that include the additional work that is requested by the
CITY. The CITY may request that the COUNTY include a Base Bid Schedule and an Alternate Bid
Schedule in the bid documents to allow for a more accurate determination of the true cost: impact of the
additional work requested by the CI`IY.
3. After the bids for a project are opened, the COUNTY shall prepare the bid tabulation and provide a
copy to the CITY on the day of the bid, together with a calculation of the CITY's estimated share of the

CITY's cost to an amount greater than the total amount authorized. The estimated CITY costs are
presented in Table I below. The CITY and the COUNTY recognize that this estimated total cost is for
planning purposes, and that the actual amount will be based upon final quantities and actual contract:
prices.
5. If the CITY subsequently elects to make additions to the scope of the project, the CITY shall request
such additional work in writing. A corresponding adjustment shall then be made to the CITY's share of
the cost based upon the resulting increase in pay quantities and the associated contract bid prices. For
work items requested by the CITY that are not covered by the contract bid prices, the COUNTY shall
prepare a change order for the CI'T'Y's review and acceptance prior to work items being constructed.
6. Upon substantial completion of each project, the COUNTY will send an initial invoice to the CITY
for the CITY'S portion of the cost of roadway and drainage improvements. Upon execution of the final
pay estimate with the contractor, the COTJNITY shall prepare and send a final invoice for any additional

Zoning Regulations, Title 22 Design & Development Standards & Title 24
Building Regulations
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70, WAC 365-195-800 et seq.
PREVIOUS COUNCIUCOMMISSION
ACTION TAKEN: The 2006-2026 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on April 25, 2006 and
effective on May 10, 2006. Council received information concerning the
proposed process on July 11, 2006. Council has previously reviewed Titles
17 - General Provisions, Title 18 - Administration, Title 20- Subdivisions,
and Title 21 - Environmental Controls.
BACKGROUND:
The City will adopt development regulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan prior to March 31,
2007. These regulations will be incorporated into the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code,
including a wide range of regulations, some of which the City Council has seen in the past. These
regulations are subject to the same requirements for early, continuous and collaborative public
participation as the Comprehensive Plan.
Title 17 - General Provisions (Update)
Table 17.40-1 (page 4) has been revised to reclassify Shoreline Substantial Development Permits
(SSDP) as Type II permits, including conditions, which are approved administratively. Variances
require the approval of the Department of Ecology. SSDP remains subject to SEPA
requirements. Applicants may appeal an administrative determination to the Hearing Examiner or
appeal the permits to the Shoreline Hearing Board.
Title 19 -Zoning Regulations.
Council has complete discretion to. alter or change most of these provisions. This chapter
establishes the various zoning districts, as well as addressing non-conforming uses, changes in
the map and text of the regulations. It also deals with Home Occupations, Accessory Dwelling
Units, animal-keeping, manufactured housing and manufactured housing parks. Planned
Residential Development is an entirely different approach to that reviewed earlier by Council,
allowing a transfer of development rights within the property itself.
Planning Commission is expected to continue the public hearing scheduled on February 22,
2007, to a date certain because of the need for public involvement and the complexity of the
issues. The Commission may forward certain provisions of this Title to City Council for early
review, where there is no controversy and the proposed regulations continue those currently in
effect.
Title 22 - Design & Development Regulations.
This Title includes concurrency, dimensional standards, off-street parking and loading, outdoor
lighting, fencing, screening and landscaping, sign regulations, wireless communication facilities,
streets, sidewalks and public places, street vacations, and stormwater management regulations.
Each of these is discussed in summary manner below:

Title 24 - Building Regulations.
Washington has mandated the adoption.of the 2006 International Codes, to be effective July 1,
2007. Once adopted, the proposed regulations will allow for permit submittals under either the
2003 codes or the new codes until July 1, 2007. The provisions for grading and excavating
remain unchanged.
Planning Commission is expected to recommend approval of Title 24 - Building regulations
following the public hearing on February 22, 2007.
These Titles were submitted to the Community Trade & Economic Development Department (CTED) on
January 27, 2007 not less than sixty days prior to final adoption by the City Council.

Memorandum
To: Mayor Diana Wilhite, Members of the City Council
From: Mike Connelly, City Attorney
CC: Dave Mercier, City Manager; Nina Regor, Deputy City Manager
Date: 2/20/07
Re: Sidewalks
A number of questions have been raised as to the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks and
maintenance of the same. The existing code requirements, legal guidelines and practical concerns are
identified below. Your options are to make no change, impose additional requirements on the adjacent
property ovA--ners and/or develop a program to remove snow and maintain sidewalks.
Current Code Provisions:
The provisions of S%ri14C 7.05.040(C) Sidewalks establish the following as nuisances:
1. Any protrusion, mvning, or overhang that inhibits or obstructs use of a public walkway or
sidewalk
2. Any object, construction, or damage that inhibits or obstructs the surface use of a public walkway
or sidewalk
3. Snow or ice not removed from a public side►valk within a reasonable time.
4. Accumulations of dirt or debris not removed fi•onl a public sidewalk
Our current enforcement practice is to respond to complaints and follow an enforcement process that
begins with written notice and escalates to the imposition of fines and/or court action if necessary. This
process does not lend itself to the immediate removal of snow from sidewalks by adjacent property
owners. We have not used this code provision to require any improvements to existing sidewalks that are
in disrepair. The City has repaired sidewalks that have severe cracks or failures and are found to be
unsafe. We have had only a few of these over the last few years.
Legal Guidelines:
1. A City may require an adjacent property owner to remove snow or ice from a sidewalk adjacent to their
property by ordinance. The ordinance can require performance within a reasonable time and impose
penalties if the snow is not removed. Specific areas where an ordinance would be effective could be
identified as long as there is a reasonable basis for that identification, i.e. requiring the removal of snow in
areas where high foot traffic is expected, commercial districts, school routes, etc.
1
2. The City cannot require the property owner to indemnify the City for any liability flowing from the
owner's failure to comply with the ordinance. A property owner's culpability will be determined by the
general rules of negligence.
3. The City has a general duty to keep its public ways in a reasonably safe condition for persons using
them in a proper manner. Generally, the City will not be responsible for the natural accumulation of snow
or ice on the sidewalks. There may be potential liability if the snow has accumulated to the point that a
dangerous condition is created and the City has notice of the same. Liability could also exist where the
dangerous condition is created by the City's own actions.
4. The same general rules apply to other dangerous conditions that may exist due to disrepair or damage
to the sidewalks themselves. A municipality may require that sidewalks be repaired, fix sidewalks itself
or create a fund from which property owners could borrow to repair sidewalks. Washington statutes,
however, mandate that costs of repair imposed upon a property owner may not exceed 50% of the
valuation of the land without improvements, and that no financial burden may be imposed upon a
property owner if the damage or deterioration is, "the direct result of the failure of the City to enforce its
ordinances." See RCW 35.69.020.
5. A comprehensive ordinance, enforcement program and City assistance plan that would be followed in a
reasonable and consistent manner is always the best protection against liability. 'Che first step would be to
identify the areas and types of walkways that should be regulated.
6. ADA issues are not addressed in this memorandum but will be included in a future A.DA presentation.
Enforcement Considerations:
Enforcement of the existing nuisance provisions has proved problematical for a number of reasons:
• The normal enforcement procedures take too long to correct the problem.
• A "reasonable" time for snow removal is vague.
• How do we reconcile the problem of clear walks covered as a result of snow plowing?
• Should property owners be responsible for all sidewalks, even those to which they have no direct
access?
• Does "damage" of broken or heaving sidewalks require the property owners to repair or replace
the sidewalk?
• The City does not have staffing to eliminate the nuisance directly.
Some possibilities include:
• Updating the ordinance to establish a specific threshold and specific period of time for
compliance for snow removal such as 24 hours following a snow event.
• Limiting property owner responsibility to front and flanking streets, or along streets from which
they take access or by designating specific areas as is discussed above;
• Establishing a program wherein the City would remove snow from sidewalks in certain specified
circumstances.
• Updating the ordinance and clarifying the actions that properly owners need to take to correct
damaged sidewalks.
• establishing a fund that property owners could borrow from for sidewalk repair.
• establishing an expedited citation process.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Resolution 06-013 dated 6/13/06 adopting the 2007-
2012 Transportation Improvement Program (TIP).
BACKGROUND: Council adopted the 2007-2012 TIP based upon information staff had at that
time relative to available funds and how these funds could be utilized for transportation projects.
Staff also submitted 29 funding applications to TIB, SRTC & CDBG. We received funding for
the following projects for 2007:
CMAQ Congestion Management/Air Quality Program
• Sprague/Appleway Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) - 1-90 to University Road
• Signal Controller Upgrades - various locations
STP(U) Urban Improvement Projects
Appleway Avenue Reconstruction, Phase 2 - Tschidey Road to Hodges Road

Empire Way to Fairview Avenue
• Trentwood Sewer Basin - Vercler Road to Evergreen Road
Wellesley Avenue to Trent (SR 290)
• Spaldings Sewer Basin - Indiana Avenue west of Montgomery Ave.
• Sewer Paveback Contingency
~ .J
Based on this information, it is recommended that the 2007 TIP be amended to reflect the
deletion of the projects that did not receive funding, include those projects that were not
completed in 2006 and have been carried over to the 2007 construction year, and those projects
added to the 2007 construction year.
A Public Hearing on this issue is currently scheduled for March 27, 2007.
OPTIONS: n/a .
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information only
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2007 budget will be amended to reflect changes
associated with this amended 2007 TIP.

Memorandum
To: Dave Mercier, City Manager, Members of City Council
From: Marina Sukup, Community Development Director
CC: Nina Regor, Deputy City Manager, Mike Connelly, City Attorney
Date: February 21, 2007
Re: Plan and Permit Issuance Delays
We regret that a number of delays in the review and issuance of permits and land use
actions have occurred as a result of illness within the Community Development Department.
The absence of anyone at the beginning of what promises to be an active construction
season creates bottlenecks within the system which we are working hard to overcome as
quickly as possible.
Tavis Schmidt will begin working as a limited term planner on Friday February 23, 2007. We
had hoped that he would be able to begin before Christina Janssen left on maternity leave,
Christina's maternity leave began 5 weeks early due to complications. We also extend our
condolences to Nik Bentley who lost his father at the end of the year.
