2011 Transportation' Improvement Program (TIP). Admin. Report in Council's February 81n
2006, council packet.
BACKGROUND: Council adopted the 2006-2011 TIP based upon information staff had at that
time relative to available funds and how these funds could be utilized for transportation projects.
Council also approved the following list of projects for which we submitted funding applications
to TIB, CDBG and STP(E):
Grant Proiects
• Montgomery Avenue Inlay #2 - Argonne Rd. to University Rd. (CDBG)
• Barker Road - Sprague Avenue to Appleway Avenue (CDBG)
• Vera Terrace Sewer Basin Paveback (CDBG)
• Park Road/BNSF Grade Separation - Bridging the Valley (TIB)
• Evergreen Road Project 2 - 161h Avenue to 32nd Avenue (TIB)
• Barker Road - LaBerry Avenue to Broadway Avenue (TIB)

Only one of the CDBG applications was approved for funding; Vera Terrace Sewer Basin
Paveback. None of the other CDBG grant applications or any of the TIB grant applications was
selected for funding. For the projects that were not selected for funding staff will evaluate them
for potential inclusion in a future year.
The STP (Enhancement) grant for Preliminary Engineering Phase of the 44'h Avenue Pathway
Project was selected for funding in the amount of $16,500.
Based on this information, it is recommended that the 2006 TIP be amended to reflect the
deletion of the projects that did not receive funding, include those projects that were not
completed in 2005 and have been carried over to the 2006 construction year, and those projects
added to the 2006 construction year.
OPTIONS:
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Approve Resolution 06-007 amending the 2006 TIP.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2006 budget will be amended to reflect changes
associated with this amended 2006 TIP. There are sufficient funds in the Street Capital Projects
budget to cover the local match portion of these projects.

PUBLIC COINIMEMfS
N.A.Brown, on Marietta: explained that he received a letter dated Oct 24, 2005, that we were not able to
get a response to the building owner regarding the trash on the property; [letter from Tom Scholtens] and
he wondered if anything had happened. Mayor Wilhite indicated that staff will contact Mt. Brown to let
him know the status of this issue. Mr. Barnes also mentioned the the SE corner of Marlin Drive and
Drummond is starting to look like'a parking lot. Mayor Wilhite indicated the City's Code Enforcement
Officers will check the area.
Orville Barnes, 104 S Freya. Suite 119, Spokane, 99202: spoke of an issue that he feels the Cities of
Spokane and Spokane Valley need to join forces to resolve; which is the area of the berm on the north
side of the freeway just before entering the City of Spokane, which was left by the State's Highway
Department', that the area is a disgrace; and that between the two cities, something should be able to be
done to at least give the appearance that one is entering into a first class city no matter which direction
one might be traveling. Mayor Wilhite mentioned that the two city councils have been discussing the idea
of having a joint meeting to discuss issues of common interest, and this would be a prime topic for such a
meeting.
Joseph Edwards, 16104 East Rich Avenue, 99216: said he owns Edwards Taxi; that permits are required
to do business in the City of Spokane; but Spokane city cabs come into the valley with no permit or any
type of business permit to run in the city, and thus they take away the business from the Spokane Valley
based-cabs. He mentioned he would like to see a legislative ordinance, and that he would be glad to pay
for such a permit in addition to his $13.00 business license.
1. PUBLIC HEARING: Final Hearing on Draft Comprehensive Plan
Prior to opening the hearing, Mayor Wilhite invited Senior Planner Kuhta to give a brief presentation on
the revised land use maps and updated strike-through version of the Capital Facilities Chapter.
a. Presentation: Revised Land Use Map, and Updated Strike-through Version, Capital Facilities
iVlr. Kuhns mentioned the strike-through chapter is the last chapter for review and asked Council to let
staff. know of any changes or adjustments needed.
Councilmember Denenny mentioned that page 47 refers to the wrong table (table 4.31), and as does the
table on the next page; and that the dollar references do not reference they are in thousands. Mr. Kuhta
said he will check to make sure all the text references the correct tables, and will check those figures and
dollar references.
.It was moved by Councilrnember DeWeming and seconded, to approve the strike thru version of the
Capital Facilities chapter. Council expressed their appreciation for staff's work in getting the strike-
through chapter returned to council so rapidly; and of the monumental job in keeping up with all the
necessary changes. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor.- Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None.
Afolion carried.
Mr. Kuhta said the land use changes are organized into a series of maps to help Council review the
changes trade; and he briefly explained each map, ending with the final map which is the conglomeration
of all the changes and explained that the map also needs to be adopted unless other changes are desired by
Council.

Planning Manager McCormick then gave an overview via his PowerPoint presentation, and stated that the
first reading of the ordinance to adopt the Comprehensive Plan is set for nest week with the final reading
scheduled for April 25; and after final adoption, the next steps will be implementation which will take the
form of the Uniform Development Code; adding that the Comprehensive Plan will be updated annually,
with major updates occurring every five years.
Mayor Wilhite said that part of the Comprehensive Plan includes the Transportation Element, which also
describes the various types of roads; and she asked Public Works Director Kersten to give a definition of
a collector road. Mr. Kersten said there are collector roads and residential roads; that a collector is the
lowest level of arterial with higher levels of major and minor arterials; that a collector typically collects
traffic from a local neighborhood which routes the traffic to one of the main arterials; that collectors are
typically 41' wide to the back of the curb, with the right-of=way width of a collector 45' wide; that it has a
13' border easement on each side making a total width of 71 feet. He explained that a residential road
serves normal residential traffic in the neighborhood, and is typically 34' feet wide to the back of die curb
and has a border easement of 13'; and that the border easement includes the swales and at the outside, a
five foot sidewalk. Mr. Kersten explained that there are options in the code if a developer wants to have a
larger area or a site for stormwater runoff, and said that the easement area could be narrowed. Mr.
Kersten said that collectors are generally wide enough to accommodate parking on both sides and have
two lanes of traffic, but there are no bike lanes on collectors but are on arterials. Residential streets, he
explained, are more narrow with no clear room for two full lanes of traffic; that the width of a residential
street is determined by having parked cars on both sides and being able to accommodate the largest
emergency vehicle to maneuver up and down the street. Mayor !Wilhite stated that when the City of
Spokane Valley plans to improve streets within the community, notice is given to the public prior to
renovation; and that developers are required to develop the road in front of the development property.
Mr. Kersten said that the 16`h Street project is an example, and for that project, all landowners were
notified, and staff and landowners met to discuss any issues associated with the transition from the
roadway to the landowners' land; and when new development occurs, the developer would have to
upgrade his half of the street to the centerline of the road, to the new standard, and only in front of the
property he is developing.
b. Open Public Hearing for Public Comments
Mayor Wilhite opened the public hearing at 6:44 p.m. and invited public comments.
John Morrison, Real Estate Broker in Spokane, 17424 N Brookside Lane, Colbert. Wa: Mr. Morrison
explained he speaks tonight on behalf of a property owner on Willow Road who asked him to come to
make comments as the owner is out of town; his lot is one lot off of Mission; that the owner put in water
and sewer and wanted the lot to be a duplex lot; the lot sold and in the process of obtaining duplex
permits, it was discovered the area is zoned UR 3.5 which requires a 20,000 square foot lot and this lot
only had 7,400 square feet; and that he was told it doesn't even accommodate a single family home; but
he could get a permit as a non-conforming use; and he asked Council to consider looking at that area
which now contains some single family homes and duplexes, which is bordered by UR-22 on both sides;
and he asked Council to change that zoning to allow for duplexes. The parcel number of the lot is
45083.0313, and is one block east of Mullan, and this is the second lot on Willow, located north of
Mission.
Dr. Philip Rudy. 5647.N Fruithill. with a business located at 720 N Argonne: spoke to the proposed
zoning map in the area bounded _by the freeway and Mullan, Mission, and Locust; and the distributed a
color map with current zoning and recommended zoning; he suggested a recommended change as per the
map, because 70% of the neighborhood is currently UR-22, B2, and B3; and only that U*R cul-de-sac
Council Meeting: 04-11-06 Pave 3 of 10

Draft
portion is not at that higher use; and because the neighborhood is changing as shown in the larger UR
parcel; that there is an abandoned foundation because a house was moved from there in preparation of the
UR-22 use; there are several duplexes and rentals; and he argued to down change that neighborhood
would economically probably not happen; and another reason for making the change is that it clusters
commercial development at intersections of major roads; and he recommends council go with the
comprehensive plan categories map that said this would be a commercial neighborhood; although he
realizes he cannot speak for all the properties. Dr. Ruby said between tonight's hearing and the next
hearing, he hopes to have a chance to speak to all the neighbors; and that one neighbor who owns three
parcels is here tonight. Councihnember Dencnny asked to confirm if what Dr. Rudy asks is to extend the
community commercial all the way to Locust, on the front of Mission; and Dr. Rudy concurred.
Alice Beattie, 17324 E Montgomerv. Spoke to the collector issue; and said that she is aware in looking at
the Transportation goals and policies and the six-year transportation plan, that her street, Montgomery, is
not on the plan presently or proposed in the near future; and she is concerned since this is an on-going
comprehensive plan, and things will change and adjustments will be made in the future; and she asks that
council put into record the concern for their neighborhood, which is unique with the River on the edge of
the street; that Montgomery does not want to be considered a collector now or in the future.
Councilmember Munson added that any improvements to that road will have to be carefully planned and
funded in the transportation improvement plan, which is reviewed annually and which is also subject to a
public hearing.
Leonard Rouge 304 S Conklin Road• Spokane Valley 99037: he read his comments (and gave a copy to
the City clerk) and questions of how the previous request has been addressed in the comprehensive plan;
that he has submitted correspondence with the planning department but has not received an answer; that
he owns property at 4308 S Woodruff, he purchased it with the intent of short platting it into two parcels
in order to have a home there close to his family; and he wants to know what provisions have been made
to allow that to occur, and asked if a grandfather clause has been included in the comprehensive plan.
Councilmember Gothmann explained that the Comprehensive Plan only addresses the entire land
(Ponderosa neighborhood) as low density residential; with low density defined as between one and six
units per acre; and that the development regulations will take care of which portions are designed UR 3.5
and UR-1; and Mr. Bouge's problem as well; and he suggests Mr. Bouge talk to Director Sukup as these
concerns should exist in the development regulations which will go through the Planning Commission.
Gail Stiltner, 10119 East 44'h Avenue Spokane Valle 206: she stated that she supports the need for a
city center and feels it is a priority; and she stressed bringing in all affected parties at the earliest stage
possible to accomplish this; she also addressed the land use section on page 8 and mentioned that the
GMA in actual practice doesn't work well for her area, and that there are huge loop holes which make it
difficult for neighborhoods to take any actions on their behalf; and she asks council to keep in mind how
to close the loopholes to make the GMA work as it was intended. She asked that the process and
guidelines occur as soon as possible; and said that neighborhoods and neighbors are anxious to be
involved. She staged it is tier hope that impact fees will be substantial so general citizens won't bear the
burden of development; and also that transportation studies need to be focused on safety issues, and to
target those issues as soon as possible.
Al French, office address of 124 E Walton office: 99207: said he is a local architect and development
consultant, and here on behalf of his clients who own property on the southeast corner of Layberry and
Barker Road; that the property got a zone change from the County Hearing Examiner in 1997, changing
the property from UR 3.5 and UR 7 to UR 22; and the change was conditioned that the property be
limited to an assisted living facility, which was the project they were trying to do at the time; but State
and federal funding for assisted living facilities changed, and construction was not done. Fle explained
that his clients are now trying to develop the property; and cannot develop the property to the full UR 22
status because of the condition formerly placed on the property; and that he suggests in the adoption

process, to include language to allow the planning director to go through a process of conforming existing
zoning to the new comprehensive land use plan; that there may be conditions in certain areas that were
previously placed by the County's hearing examiner. He mentioned that the County has already
developed a similar structure whereby at the pre-development meetings, the planning director can make
those conforming actions, and he mentioned the City of Spokane is reviewing the possibility of doing
likewise.
Councilmember Munson asks legal to research to see if council can reverse a specified special decision by
a Bearing Examiner based on council's planning. Deputy City Attorney Driskell said the City Attorney's
Department will research that issue.
Marv Pollard. E 1.7216 Baldwin speaking for the North Greenacres neighborhoods: she stated that the
neighbors understand that the city does not intend to do anything with their roads; but that the developers
are making roads and plans; and the neighbors don't want the old design or the new design by the
developer; and may not want parking on both side,, of the street or at all; and they were told there was no
moratorium, and the developers are building out and local roads are turning into a nightmare and do not
include such things as the multi-use paths; that she encourages Council to have a transportation goal that
states there should be a fee or some way of garnering funds to do transportation studies of communities
that are the most hard pressed for development; she also mentioned the need for affordable housing, and
that something needs to be done to assist those people with mental and/or physical incapacitics or be able
to buy a home.
Gail Koale, 12518 E 24`h: she spoke of the need for a city center and some city identity; she also
mentioned that early in the process of the comprehensive plan discussions of the introduction chapter, the
chapter previously had language that mentioned that the area has been important for approximately
12,000 years; that the 12,000 years was discussed and because it might offend some people, and in the
spirit of cooperation, that was taken out; and that she would like that put back in as she feels it is an
important part of the chapter to realize how long this area has been an area of importance. [see top of
page 6 in introduction] Deputy Mayor Taylor suggested perhaps changing that to "thousands of years,"
and Mayor Wilhite indicated Council will look at that passage again.
Brian Isaac, 17212 E Montgomery Avenue- X9016• said his biggest concern is the collector road because
if that goes through, he would lose half of his front yard; he feels we are developing too fast and asked if
there is a city road plan. Mayor Wilhite indicated city staff is working on a city master street plan, which
will be done this year, and that once completed, the plan will be posted on the City's website. Mr. Isaac
asked who it is who determines if a road is a collector or residential road. Mayor Wilhite responded that
the Public Works Department makes that determination, and the council does approval of the overall road
plans. Mr. Isaac said he was told there is a state standard on roads where access to a main road must be
300 feet; and this development is less than 200 feet, the road coming onto Flora, and he wants to know
what he can research to determine what the rules are. Mayor Wilhite suggested Mr. Isaac give his name
and address to the clerk and staff will contact him to address his questions.
iVlike Tee, of Northwest Renovators along with Dou~ Gore 415 S Alpine Tarive Liberty Laker Mr. Lee
said they want a re-zJone of the property at 1604 S Sullivan Road; that it is currently 3.5 and in working
with the Planning Department, he was told to ask fora change from 3.5 to a neighborhood commercial (as
per his April 1, 2006 letter); because of the heavy traffic on Sullivan and 16th, they feel it is not a good
residential opportunity and ask that it be changed to neighborhood commercial; he explained his reasons
for the re-cone as stated in his letter; and said that as of last Friday, NW Renovator is the legal owner of
the property. Mayor Wilhite said the Planning Department will review his request.
Steve Fleaps, 1.7511 1 Montgomery Avenue Greenacres Wa• commented concerning the proposed
change in the road between Barker and Flora on Montgomery; that it is a country road which goes mostly
Council Meeting.- 04-11-06 Page 5 of 10
Approved by Council:
Draft
to no-where coming from the corner of Flora and Barker; that he'd like to clear up the rumor that the road
was going to be an arterial 80' wide with bike lanes and center turn lane, and asked if perhaps there could
be a statement about what the possible or proposed plans might be in process regarding that road.
Councilmember Munson said he just finished reading the flyer, and expressed his shock at the amount of
misinformation put in writing as everything was wrong; there are no plans to do anything with the road; it
will be discussed during any development that might happen in that area; and if there were anything done
to the road, it would be done in a public way giving citizens opportunity for comment; and said that
whoever wrote the flyer should be ashamed of themselves as it is not accurate. Councilmember Denenny
reiterated that earlier tonight, Public Works Director K.ersten gave the dimensions and what is involved in
a collector, and that the information contained in the flyer does not comport with the information given by
Mr. Kersten on what constitutes an arterial or collector. Mayor Wilhite added.any time a road is proposed
to change, notice is sent to the property owners to meet with staff to discuss those proposed changes.
Juli Evans, 1705 N Willow (property owner of Willow Road spoken of by Dr. Rudy), said she is in favor
of getting the rest of land changed because now they don't have to apply for a re-zone; and in looking at
Dr. Rudy's map, their's is the parcel off the left: hand side of Wilbur Road facing Mission, and they also
own the two parcels north of the UR-22 parcel, which they were going to get re-zoned; and for those two
parcels at least, they would not be opposed to the rezoning of either a business or a UR 22 designation.
Mary Pollard, E 17216 Baldwin: said she wanted to clarify that the dimensions referenced by the flyer
Councilmember Munson spoke of, were taken off Spokane Valley material which was handed to the
resident who came to city hall; and that there was an error in the public works department, and the
language previously used by Councilmember Munson was very strong and she feels it was wrong to
shame someone who went to the work to get the information.
Senior Planner Kuhta explained during the last few days, several letters and c-mails were received from
the following individuals, to be made part of the record:
1. Cindy Algeo, Executive Director of Spokane Low Housing Consortium: no concerns about the comp
plan housing chapter, they are disappointed that some of the goals and policies do not contain measurable
outcomes.
2. Art Nowell, with the Spokane Housing, similar comments about the housing element of the comp plan
3. Chuck Hafner, concerning neighborhood issues with the neighborhood chapter.
4. Scott R. Smith, concerning the Good Samaritan property at 12715 E. Mission: he supports the medical
office overlay concept (which Mr. Kuhta said is more of an implementation issue).
5. Al French, who spoke earlier tonight

area; that he requests Council consider banning or requiring a permit for off road vehicles use in
commercial areas; that ATV activity occurred in the Dishman Hills area last week and by Monday

Steve Skipworth. Vera Director of Operations. 601 N Evergreen Road: his comments were concerning the
Road Obstruction Right-of-way procedures report listed as tonight's agenda item #10; that it came to their
attention that the City might require obstruction permits for work done in the public right-of-way; that
Vera is a public utility and they have crews working day in and out in the public right-of=way; and he is
not sure what it is we are proposing, but it appears we are looking for fees every time they stop at a
location; which could become difficult; he voiced his concern of any cost and benefit, and said that any

fees assessed would be passed to their customers; and if the City decided to have a committee meeting
concerning this subject, Vera would be interested in having someone on that committee.
Judy Cole, representative of Avista: also commented on the road obstruction right-of-way procedures
report; said the details are not clear; and added that she would be interested in working closely with the

10. Road Obstruction Right-of-way Procedures-Tom Scholtens
Via his PowerPoint presentation, Building Official Scholtens explained the current policy and ordinance
concerning road obstruction righi-of-way procedures; and said that any work done within the City right-
of-way, must have it permit. Council/staff discussion included questions concerning quick stops, flagmen,
fire department activities, and utility company work.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Taylor, seconded, and unanimously agreed to extend the meeting to 9:30
P. M.
Administrative Analyst-Koudelka gave the summary of the process and the fee amount and how the
Pavement-Cut. policy affect this type of work, ending with examples of fee methods from other cities.
It was moved by.Deputy Mayor Taylor, seconded, and unanitnously agreed to extend the meeting to 9:45
P. m.
Deputy Mayor Taylor said he likes the idea of separate fees for frequent users; and Councilmember
Gothmann suggested staff gather input from the utility companies. Building Official. Scholtens said he
met with Avista representatives yesterday to discuss the pavement Cut policy issues and stated staff and
the utility companies are working toward a better working relationship. Councilmember DeVleming
Suggested that the every-day activities should be different from the longer, occasional activities, such as
from picking up trash, to repair of electrical, water, cable or other lines. Councilmember DeVleming
suggested we acknowledge the difference between a utility cut and everyday work to determine what does
and does not require an inspection and a permit; and he suggested creating an ad hoc committee with staff
and stakeholders to determine what works best for all, and bring that information back to council.
Councilmember Munson also suggested including first responders as part of the committee..
Councilmembers concurred that an ad hoc committee should be formed, to include staff and stakeholders
including first responders; and that staff will work on the fee structure for the two separate issues - those
activities which require inspection and those which do not; and that staff will bring further information
back to council on what this committee might look like, and will also address in the form of an action
item, any amendments to the Current ordinance.

Business Zone Matrix of the Zoning Regulations to permit Plastic
Injection molding in B-2 and B-3 Community and Regional Business
Districts.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION; RCV1W 36.70, Spokane Halley Ordinance 03-53 codified as
Section 10.30.060 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code
PREVIOUS COUNCIL1COMMI SIGN
ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the proposed amendment on January 10, 2006.
Planning Commission held a public hearing on February 9, 2006. ' The
Planning Commission tabled the item until March 9, 2006, requesting
additional information. Planning Commission recommended approval by
unanimous vote. City Council advanced the ordinance to a second reacting.
on April 11, 2006,
BACKGROUND:
The present Business Use matrix does not include Plastic Injection Molding. The use is
identified in the Industrial Use Matrix, although the.process is neither defined not described.
Plastic Injection molding includes various processes which may generally be divided between
thermoplastic and thermoset.
"Plastic Injection Molding" (except 'solvent molding") involves heating plastic pellets within a
mold. No solvents or Volatile Organic compounds are used in the process, and the plastic can
be re-formed as necessary. Machinery is hydraulic, generating less noise than a small forklift.
The process is less intensive than a print shop which is a permitted use in bath B- and B-
business zoning districts. This process is generally benign and compatible with commercial
uses, unless the final product requires significant amounts of outdoor storage (e_9. large
diameter pipe). This may suggest that a limitation on the amount of outdoor storage apply in
ccrrimercial zoning districts or alternately that the use is permitted if all storage is within an
enclosed building.
The process of thermoset molding involves heat and solvents and does not permit re-forming of
molded farms. The use and storage of solvents in an industrial process should be limited to
industrial zoning districts. Although solvent molding. is thermoplastic and allows reforming of
plastic shapes, the use should also be limited to industrial zoning districts.
Currently "Plastic Injection Molding" (which does not differentiate between the processes) is
permitted only in 1-2 Light Industrial and 1-3 Heavy Industrial zoning districts.
There have been no changes in the proposed ordinance since the first reading
The proposed amendment was sent to TED on December 8, .2005, and a Determination of
Non-Significance (INNS) was made on the same day, with comments due on December 30,
2005.
OPTIONS: Approve, provide staff with direction or disapprove.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading Ordinance 06-009, Bus benches in City Rights-of-Way
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 10.07.09
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session in February, first reading April 11.
BACKGROUND: When the City Council adopted the new sign provisions of the Code, the issue
was raised regarding advertising in the rights-of-way in the form of bus benches. The Council
asked several questions, and staff was requested to come back with a proposal on how to treat
bus benches and the advertising on them. The Council received a presentation on the
proposed ordinance change that would make bus benches an exception to the prohibition to
advertising in the rights-of-way. The Council also reviewed a proposed agreement that any
company wishing to place benches in the ROW would need to enter into with the City.
By way of background, the bus benches currently existing are all owned by Sunset Outdoor
Advertising; and Spokane Transit Authority is not involved in their placement or upkeep. They
are uniform in size, with the backrest (advertising area) being two feet high by six feet wide.
The existing benches were not placed pursuant to an agreement with us or Spokane County.
The benches result in a public benefit in that they provide transit users a place to sit while
_ waiting. The benches would not otherwise be placed and available.
The Council instructed staff to present the materials to the Planning Commission for a public
hearing and recommendation, which occurred March 23, 2006, after which the Commission
voted to recommend to the Council that it approve the proposed ordinance.
Included as Attachment 1 is the draft ordinance, as modified at the suggestion of the Planning
Commission.
Staff has also drafted a proposed agreement that any company wanting to place bus benches in
the ROW must sign, which is Attachment 2.
OPTIONS: Instruct staff to make changes to the Ordinance and/or the draft agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION:
First Motion - "I move that we adopt Ordinance No. 06-009 as drafted."
Second Motion - "I move that we approve the form of the model agreement for placement of
C bus benches, and authorize the City Manager or designee to enter into agreements with private
J parties as appropriate."
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed agreement is $40 per year. If the number of
current benches were to remain constant, the yearly amount would be $3,080.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary P. Driskell, Deputy City Attorney

prerequisites for the adoption of the City's Comprehensive Plan have been met, and adopt the following:
FINWNIGS OF FACT
I. Mandate to Plan under GMA: The City of Spokane Valley is a City that falls under the
full mandates of the GvIA as of the date of its incorporation on March 31, 2003.
2. Compliance with S.EPA :
a. A Draft Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was issued on May 18,
2005, and a Final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement was issued on November 4, 2005.
b. The Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement (SEIS) integrates the
environmenttl analysis required by the Sl~PA with the draft Comprehensive Plan, pursuant to
authorization in the SEPA rules (WAC 197-11-21.0, 220, 228, 230, 232 and 235). This document
supplemented the Draft and Final SEISs prepared by Spokane County for the County's Draft Plan 2000,
published in March 2000 and November 2000 respectively.
C. The City of Spokane Valley has made a Determination of Significance in regard
to the action of adopting a new Comprehensive Plan in accordance with SEPA requirements.

DRAFT
3. Consistency with County-Wide Planning Policies:

Countywide Planning Policies as a regional framework for comprehensive planning.
b. An analysis and review of applicable Countywide Planning Policies is contained
in each chapter of this plan.
C. The City Council. of the City of Spokane Valley finds that the new
Comprehensive Plan is consistent with the Countywide Planning Policies.
4. Consideration of Critical Areas and Resource Lands: The City of Spokane Valley has
adopted ordinances that protect critical areas, including wetlands, fish and wildlife habitat conservation
areas, frequently flooded areas and geologically hazardous areas pursuant to RCW 36.70A.170; and
further that these ordinances have been reviewed as a part of the development of this Comprehensive Plan
as is discussed in Chapter 8 Matarral Environment. Areas with a critical recharging effect on aquifers for
potable water are discussed in Chapter 8 Natural Environment. Specific areas have been designated, and
an ordinance protecting the same is currently being reviewed by the City of Spokane Valley.

categories of land use within the City of Spokane Valley.

groups, community workshops, press releases and public service announcements and other devices
designed to enhance public participation. Implementation of this program resulted in early and
continuous 'opportunities to participate in the development of the Plan; and

Planning Commission, joint meetings with the same bodies, and community workshops; and
r c. The City of Spokane Valley Planning Commission considered all provisions of

A ENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading: Proposed Ordinance 06-011 Adopting Crossover
Matrix.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RG 36_70A - Growth Management Act
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN; First Reading was held during the Council's April 11'x`
meeting.
BACKGROUND: City Council is expected to adapt the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
In late April, 200_ Once the new Comprehensive Plan Is adopted, new development
regulations must be adopted to 'implement'the Cornp Plan policies and land .use map. Staff is
currently working on creating new development regulations that will fully implement 'the Comp
Plan. We an6-Jpate that it wiII take over a year to adopt tyre new development code.
The intent of the Cross-Over Matrix is to initially implement the Comprehensive Plan in a way
that requires few changes to the current zoning code. The proposed Matrix specifies existing
zoning categories that will implement individual Comprehensive Plan land use categories. Jt is
important to mote that with this initial Comp Plan implementation phase, existing zoning will not
be changed by the City. Rather, individual property owners would be required to apply for a
zone change if their current zoning does not allow a proposed use.
For example, property currently zoned LJR-3.5 and located in the Office category on the Comp
Plan Land Use Map would be able to apply for a zone change to either UR-12 or UR-22, but
only office uses would be allowed with new zone change. Conversely, if property Is currently
zoned UR-22 and located in the office category, all uses in the Ufa-22 zone would be allowed,
including multi-family residential_
Staff also proposes to amend Section 14.416.000, Number of Uses per Lot, of the Interim
Spokane Valley Zoning Code which allows only 1 primary use per lot, unless otherwise
spec'rfied fn the Code. This is problematic in mixed use areas, which encourage multiple uses in
a singe building. Therefore, it is recommended to remove this restriction for areas designated
as Mi ed Use and orridor Mixed Use on the Comprehensive Plan Map.
Finally., the proposed implementing regulations would eliminate certain sections of the Interim
Phase 1 Development Regulations that would become obsolete upon adoption of the
Comprehensive Plan.
The Comprehensive Plan Cross-Over Matrix will replace certain sections of the Interim Phase 1
Development Regulations and will amend Interim Zoning Code ectfon 14.416.000, Number of
Uses per Lot.
O OPTIONS. The Planning Commission will consider the proposed regulations at a public hearing
on April 13, 2006 and a recommendation will be submitted for Council's consideration. As this
RCA is wHtten prior 'to that April 13, 2006 hearing, that recommendation f Il be forthcoming at
the Council's April 18 meeting. The initial implementing regulations should be adopted
concurrent with adoption of the Comprehensive Plan-

identifies future needs as related to changes in population and park and recreation trends, and
presents a set of actions for the enhancement of park and recreation opportunities for the
citizens of Spokane Valley.
The plan also meets the requirements of the Washington Interagency Committee for Outdoor
Recreation, making the City eligible for grants from that agency.
The plan was developed over a 2 year period and represents a wide range of public input
including the telephone survey from the Comprehensive Plan, a written survey, public
meetings, focus group meetings, and a public hearing.
An update to the Plan is recommended in four years to evaluate progress and to re-assess
community needs. This will give the community time to establish its roles and responsibilities
and reflect on the recommendations of the Plan.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: April 25, 2006 City Manager Sign-off,
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business 0 new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Resolution 06-009, Washington Interagency Committee for
Outdoor Recreation (IAC) Grant
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Discussion.
BACKGROUND: The Parks and Recreation Department is requesting approval to apply for a grant
from the Washington Interagency Committee (IAC). The IAC is the State funding agency that
administers several grant programs for recreation and habitat conservation. The application deadline
for grant applications is May 1, 2006. In addition to the application, a Resolution authorizing funding
assistance is required. Maximum IAC funding is 50% of purchase price. Staff acknowledges that
research on this acquisition is preliminary. It is the proximity to a future elementary school site and the
desire of the property owner to sell that prompts staff to bring this forward at this time. IAC grant
opportunities for local park projects are available in even years only.
The Parks and Recreation Master Plan has identified the Green Acres neighborhood as an area
requiring a public park. Potential park properties have been located adjacent to Central Valley
School District property on the South side of Mission Ave. in the Green Acres area. The first is an
approximate 3.39 acre property located on Long Street, immediately South of and interconnecting
with approximately 16 acres recently purchased by the School District (please see attachments). The
property owner has indicated an interest in selling this property. The second potential property
(approximately 4 acres) is immediately adjacent to the parcel described above. The property owners
have not yet been contacted. Informal phone conversation with Dr. Dave Jackman, Director of
Auxiliary Services, indicates that the school board may have an interest in exploring joint planning and
use of park facilities. However, that would be a question for the school board and would require
further consideration.
Although the grant application is due to IAC on May 1, 2006, the technical completion deadline of July
3, 2006. Project evaluations by IAC begin on July 31, 2006. These timeframes will allow ample
opportunity for further development of project scope and detail.
OPTIONS: 1) Approve Resolution 06-009 Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program
Authorizing Resolution for Green Acres Neighborhood Park
2) Do not approve.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to adopt Resolution 06-009 and direct City staff to
prepare and submit a grant application to the IAC for assistance in the purchase of the property.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Funds included in 2006 budget. Purchase price to be determined
by appraisal and in compliance with all applicable polices/ laws.

Subject' South Malley Corridor Funding Transfer
Dear r. Mercier:
City of Spokane Valley
As we are all aware, the City of Spokane Valley inherited an allocation of
approximately 4-2 million dollars in funding from the Transportation Improvement
Board (TIB) to address perceived transportation deficiencies in the Sprague
Avenue corridor. This was based on a premise that the identified improvements
were contained in the adopted Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP)• In fact,
the onl ;corridor project' in the adapted 0-gear MTP east of Universityf Road was
the development of a Ught mail. corridor" to Liberty't_ake,
Nevertheless, the City of Spokane Valley for the past-few years has been pdt on
notice by TIE to either develop a project for the corridor that can be included in
the MTP or relinquish the funding back to the Transportation Improvement Board.
The City has pursued development of a project, while at the same time
recognized that in order to be placed in the MTP and subsequently become
eligible for federal aid funds (TP-U), the ity+ must fulfill Federal planning and
environmental requirements. This has been difficult for a variety of reasons,
such as. travel demand model differences; ho ever the dom inant challenge from
a regional and State perspective has been the establishment of a strong purpose
and need, which is based on credible and documented infcrmatron.
Recently in a meeting with W DOT, RTC, and FHWA Washington Drvisionr the
City of Spokane Valley as'provided specific direction on what needed to be
accomplished in order to determine a purpose and need that would ba accepted
by DDT and FH A. Based on that direction, the City of Spokane Valley,
through their consultant analyzed the project for purpose and need. In an email
dated.February i 7~h-, alit of. pokane'VaIlay stated..:
"As expected, 4whcn using the regional' demand mode l-ccpacities n'o'ddditiondI lane capacii
is .5 hoawn to be needed within thr- corridor compared to the anticipated 2030 demond
i
volume. Therefore, at this time and from this limited analysis additional capacity in the
corridor is not being considered in the development of alternatives.
Based on these results and considering the other deficiencies identified within the
Sprague/AppIaway Corridor (emphasis added), we have identified the following
alternatives to be evaluated:
1. Crossover from Appleway/University to Sprague: maintain 2-way, 7-lane Sprague
Avenue, improve intersections at Sprague/Pines and Sprague/Sullivan
2. Maintain 2-way, 7-lane Sprague, extend 2-lane Appleway one-way eastbound within
old RR right-of-way
3. Reduce Sprague to 2-way, 5-lane, extend Appleway 2-way, 3-lanes
4. Extend couplet: 4-lone Sprague one-way westbound, 3-lane Appleway one-way
eastbound
In addition, a TSM/TDM alternative will also be developed and evaluated."
The challenge before the City, of Spokane Valley is that in order for a project to
be included in the MTP the proposed project must be sufficiently developed with
a design, concept, and scope by which to demonstrate that it meets the Federal
Air Quality Conformity requirements, at both the regional and project level.
SRTC has indicated that a 10% design solution would probably be sufficient,
while WSDOT has indicated more along the lines of 30% design solution.
Regardless of the design level, the proposed solution must first be identified in an
environmental document approved by FHWA.
On March 24, 2006, City of Spokane Valley staff, WSDOT, and SRTC met to
discuss progress on the necessary studies. The topic was raised regarding the
timing of having a preferred alternative for inclusion in the MTP in advance of
completing the draft environmental document. WSDOT agreed to consult with
FHWA to determine the level of comfort with this approach. The consultation
concluded that such an action would violate the spirit of the NEPA process, and if
the EA was challenged in court, could lead to the perception that a final solution
was pre-determined prior to completion of a full and open public involvement
process. We all recognized the environmental process has no ability to be
completed by the July deadline imposed by the TIB.
I presented an option to the City of Spokane Valley staff, that SRTC staff would
recommend to the Board that in consideration of the-City of Spokane Valley,
relinquishing $4.2 million in TIB funds prior to the July deadline, SRTC allocate
$4.2 million in STP (U) funds to be used on the solution developed and approved
by the FHWA at the completion of the environmental process and its inclusion in
the MTP. In addition, this would not preclude the City of Spokane Valley from
seeking additional funding through the, normal call for projects or other State and
Federal program sources. This would allow the City of Spokane Valley to
develop a solution through the normal environmental process.
On March 9, 2006 at our regular monthly SRTC Board meeting, the Board was
briefed on your current funding status with the TIB as well as the advice provided
by WSDOT and Federal Highway Administration. SRTC Staff made the following
recommendation:
"In consideration of the City of Spokane Valley relinquishing the currently
allocated Transportation Improvement Board funding (approximately $4.2 million)
for the Appleway Extension, the SRTC Board authorize staff to allocate .a like
amount of STP (Urban) funds, to be used on the project(s) developed and
approved by the FHWA at the completion of the environmental process and its
inclusion in the MTP and TIP. In addition, this allocation will not preclude the City
of Spokane Valley from seeking additional funding through the normal call for
projects or other State and Federal program sources."
The SRTC Board unanimously approved the recommendation. As result of the
Board action, the SRTC is prepared to substitute the TIB funding with STP Urban
funds if the City of Spokane Valley officially relinquishes the TIB funding, in
writing, prior to July 2006. At that time, the SRTC will send a letter to the City of
Spokane Valley officially designating the allocation of STP funds.
Should you have questions, please feel free to contact me 343-6370.
Sincerely,
Glenn F. Miles
Transportation Manager

Spokane Valley Library Services and District Support
Report to the City of Spokane Valley
March 2006
LIBRARY SERVICES
Customer use measures, District-wide
For the first quarter of 2006, every use measure that we'd like to be ahead of last year at this time is
up except for reference inquiries. The door count is up by a third, circulation of library materials
by 9%, program attendance by 26%, software station bookings by 5%, and meeting room bookings
by 4%. Two of the factors driving the increases are the additional open hours on Friday mornings
and Sunday afternoons and the new Moran Prairie Library-whose circulation is up 75% year to
date over 2005. We'd also like to think that our strategic plan activities also have a role.
A potential explanation for part of the huge (20%) drop in reference statistics (which are computed
from a monthly sampling) is changes in staff known to be "heavy counters." This points out the
major pitfall of any reference transaction reporting: dependence on staff remembering to count
each question.
The other two areas with a decrease are staff holds placement (it's good that more customers are
placing their own) and interlibrary loans (it's good that we're borrowing less to meet customer
requests and fewer of our materials are being sent elsewhere).
Customer use measures, Greater Spokane Valley
With the first quarter of 2006 completed, Spokane Valley Library customer use measures are
uniformly up from last year at this time, with six of the seven in double digits. In addition, the
number of registered borroivers is eight percent higher than March 2005 at 37,537. Argonne and
Otis Orchards Library treasures are mixed.

At branches serving Spokane Valley residents...
In programming at Spokane Valley, the Saturday family movie "Chitty Chitty Bang Bang" had 26 in
attendance; Wed.nesday's showing of "Whale Rider" had 12. The Red Cross Preparedness
program, as elsewhere, had a very low attendance (three). At the City of Spokane Valley's
request, we'll be placing survey return boxes in the three Valley area branches to assist them in
getting customer opinions regarding public access television.
There were 162 new card applications for the month at Argonne. The displays took note'of
Women's History Month and with March as Mirth Month, for which staff displayed adult and
children's books that "tickled their funny bones."
At Otis Orchards a young mother came in with a boy from an ECEAP class who she said had been
bugging her to go to the library (Yes... success). Neely decorating a wall in the children's area is
artwork from the Otis Orchards Elementary ECEAP class. They created their version of "Chicka,
Chicka, Boom, Boom."
Miscellaneous

Board planning retreat
The April $ Board of Trustees planning retreat at Mukogawa Commons will begin at 9:00 a.m.
after a continental breakfast and is scheduled for completion at 3:00. The morning will be devoted
to the 2007-2009 strategic plan, primarily how trustee input from PLA conference programs
attended might relate to it. The afternoon will be a review, with any ensuing discussion, of other
District planning issues.
Trustee orientation
New trustee Tun. Hattenburg completed his SCLD and Board of Trustees orientation, culminating
in a meeting with chair Ann Apperson and vice-chair Jake Laete.
ADMINISTRATION
Patriot Act extension
An extension of the USA PATRIOT Act approved by Congress and signed by the President
included making permanent.14 of the 16 provisions originally set to expire at the end of 2005. The
other two, which govern secret government records searches, were modified and extended for
four years. The library community continues to be concerned that these modifications don t go far
enough in protecting their users' privacy.

2006 Legislature
The key bill for library districts-voter-approved multi-year levy lid overrides-fell victim to the
politics of an election year and wasn't brought up for a vote by House leadership. It'll be a major
Washington Library Association priority again next year when it should have a better chance.
The others bills on WLA's support list were all approved. However, the Governor vetoed the
funding section of SB 6555, which made Municipal Research Council services available to special.
districts, and therefore rendered the legislation effectively meaningless. It was also unfortunate
that funding for community and tecluiical college statewide online database access wash t part of
the finial supplemental budget and Washington State Heritage Building pre-planning funding
wasn't specifically earmarked in the supplemental capital budget
Strategic planning
The management team strategic planning task force met twice during March to determine
appropriate-measurements of progress toward meeting goals and to fold those into 26 proposed
objectives. At the end of the month, the full management team discussed and "fine-tuned" the
objectives so the task force can work in April and May to develop strategic activities.
Spokane Valley Library planning
With Board approval of planning for the new Spokane Valley Library, I've been gearing up for
and devoting a substantial portion of my time to the project.
■ I've been working with County GIS (Geographic Information Systems) staff to map the most
appropriate boundaries for the potential LCFA, which is intended to be Spokane Valley
Library's extended service a.rea. School district boundaries didn't prove feasible; however,
Fire District 1's area (with a couple of additions on its periphery) appears to be a reasonable
approach.
• I drafted prelimuuvy' objectives for community research and met with Strategic Research
Associates (-SRA) to talk about potential surveys, questionnaires, and focus groups. The
purpose of this work is to determine what's important to customers and the community in
general and to identify issues we need to address as we develop plans for the facility and the
LCFA election.
Qwest property tax refund
In June 2003, Qwest filed a lawsuit alleging that its property had been overvalued by the
Washington State Department of Revenue, which assesses all intercounty and interstate utility
companies. On January 1.7 Qwest and the state entered into a stipulated agreement through the
court, reducing taxes that had been paid. SCLD's share is $14,455.96 for the General Operating
Fund and $3,488.77 for the Bond Redemption Fund, both plus interest. The Moran Prairie LCFA
will also owe $345.55.
Outreach program restructuring
On March 291 announced the restructuring of our outreach program based upon the final
recommendations of the task force that has been evaluating the program over the past several
months. Briefly, the program and its current staff will be shifted to branches for reasons of
efficiency and. effectiveness and the separate Outreach Services Department will be eliminated.
The restructuring is expected to result in the ability to serve more facilities.

Re:
Monthly Report
During March, finance employees worked on the following projects:
2006 Budget amendments
Amendments to the 2006 Budget are being prepared for council review in May.
O 2007 Budo,et preparation begins
Departments will be asked to begin preparing their 2007 budgets yet this month. The process will
conclude in November of this year with the adoption of the 2007 budget.
Year end financial close out
Staff is working to close out the financial records for 2005. Preparations are being made to prepare the
Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) and to assist the auditors in their review of 2005 city
records.
Once the CAFR is prepared, we will send copies to banks, bond underwriters and bond rating agencies to
keep them updated on our financial status.
Website updates
Staff is updating the city website so that current versions of the 2006.13udget, an updated copy of the Six-
year Financial Forecast, Quarterly Revenue/Expenditure Reports and the Budget Calculator exercise are
available.
June retreat
Staff is updating information on projected revenues and expenditures for the next six years. This
information will be available at the June retreat.
Budp,et variance/investment reports
Reports showing a comparison of all find revenues and expenditures to our 2006 budget, at March 31,
2006 are attached. Staff provides information on all funds quarterly but only on selected operating funds
at the end of other months.
If revenues and expenditures flowed to the City evenly throughout the year, we would expect both
revenues and expenditures to show 25% realized at March 31. You will note that revenues are slightly
ahead of our projections and expenditures are slightly below our budget.
The investment report is also attached for your review.
Please contact me if you have questions or desire clarification.

Sixty-nine right-of-way inspections were performed during the month of March, 2006.
CODE COMPLIANCE:
During March 25 property owners were contacted about bringing their signage into compliance.
The number of "Violations Reported" on the following chart reflects actual Spokane Valley
Zoning Code violations, plus complaints received which were not violations. The complaints

received are added to the total because they reflect time officers spent in the field conducting
investigations. In addition, the 'Investigated" and 'Pending" columns accurately reflect Code
Compliance's current ability to process and investigate backlog cases.
The following chart provides a monthly comparison of the types of Spokane Valley Code
violations reported. Violations are reported based on the primary complaint received, rather
than the number of additional violations identified on any individual premises. The investigation
of a complaint of junk vehicles, for example, may also result in identification of additional
violations such as the accumulation of trash or harboring of livestock. These are not included in
the summary. A total of 57 complaints were processed in March.

OPERATIONS:
♦ Officers Arrest Teen Burglars
Spokane Valley Police arrested a pair of teenaged burglars after receiving an alarm
from East Valley Middle School and finding the two suspects inside the gym. Officers
Tanya Walker and Brian Frost went to the school about 3:20 a.m. and found a
doorknob pried from an eastside door. The suspects had used a metal fence post to
break off one doorknob, and then beat a second one off using a metal trash can. The
officers entered the school and heard the suspects inside the gymnasium. When the
officers announced their presence, the two burglars, one 14 and the other 15, ran from
the school.
Walker and Frost were able to catch up to the two suspects and take them into custody.
Spokane Police Dept. Officer Craig Hamilton and his canine partner were called to the
scene and searched the school for any other outstanding suspects. They found none.
The two teens told Walker they had kicked their way out of Secure Child Receiving
Center in Spokane and caught a ride to Spokane Valley to visit a friend. Afterward,
the two broke into the school knowing it would be wann and would have food in the
cafeteria. Walker drove both suspects back downtown and booked them into the
Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center on felony counts of Second Degree
Burglary.
♦ Return Visit Nets Drugs, Guns, Child
A month to the day that sheriff's detectives raided a South Park mobile home park,
drug investigators returned and arrested a man and woman for selling heroin, crack
cocaine and marijuana. A spokesman for the sheriff's Investigative Support Unit said
a search warrant executed on a mobile home there resulted in probable cause to arrest
the pair on multiple felony drug charges as well as counts of Child. Endangerment.

home, detectives found 13 packets of heroin ready for sale, as well as small quantities
of crack cocaine and marijuana. They also discovered drug scales, packaging materials
and hundreds of new and used syringes. The drugs and drug paraphernalia, as well as
items of pornography, were readily within reach and available to the eight-year-old
boy.
Sgt. Chris Kehl said Wednesday afternoon that charges pending against the male
suspect include three counts of Delivery of Heroin, counts of Possession of Heroin,
Possession of Cocaine and Possession of Marijuana with Intent to Deliver, and Child
Endangerment. The female suspect faces charges of Conspiracy to Commit all of the
drug felonies listed above, as well as the Child Endangerment charge. Detectives
seized a scoped .260 caliber rifle and a sawed-off shotgun from inside the mobile
home, and Kell said that part of the investigation would be referred to the Spokane
Firearms Task Force for additional scrutiny. The male suspect has prior domestic
violence convictions in Washington and a Counterfeiting conviction in Montana that
may make it unlawful for him to possess any firearm.
♦ Thieves Target One Honda Too Many
O Spokane Valley Police arrested a pair of car thieves after the suspects tried to steal a
second Honda matching the one they were already driving. An 18-year-old woman
reported her 1994 Civic stolen from her home in the 3400 block of East Thirty-Sixth.
Then at t0:25 a.m., a second woman called 9-1-1 and reported that two men were
breaking into her. Civic parked in the 2600 block of South Bates. She watched the men
exit her car and was able to obtain the plate on the suspect's car as it drove away. That
plate belonged on the Honda stolen earlier ui Spokane.
As Officer Rob Stevens responded to the vehicle prowling call, he spotted the stolen
Honda leaving the area. He and Officer Jeff Thurman stopped the car at Eighth and
Pines and detained the suspects a 17-year-old Spokane Valley man and a 20-year-old
man. The vehicle prowling complainant was able to identify the suspects as the men
she had seen inside her car. The Spokane City woman came to the scene to collect her
stolen Honda and said that significant damage to the car had occurred after it was
stolen. Interviews with the two suspects led officers to believe they intended to steal
the second black Honda, rather than simply prowling it. Officers booked the 20-year-
old into the Spokane County Jail on felony counts of Taking a Motor Vehicle without
Owner's Permission aid Attempted TMVWOP. They booked the 17-year-old into
Spokane County Juvenile .Detention on the Attempted TMVWOP only.
♦ Road Rage Leads To Assault, Arrest
Spokane Valley Police arrested a 27-year-old Spokane man after he struck a second
man in the head with a wooden stick following a road rage incident. Officer Chan
Erdman and others were called to an apartment complex at 2718 N. Bowdish after 9-1-
1 received the assault complaint. The officers interviewed a 29-year-old resident there
Page 3
who said he was turning north onto Jackson from eastbound Montgomery when a man
in a black Ford Focus passed him in the intersection. The other driver yelled
something and flashed a hand gesture. The victim had his wife and daughter in his car
and continued to their apartment complex not knowing what the other driver's issue
was. As he was getting his daughter out of his car, the victim noticed that the Focus
had pulled into the lot and the male driver was again yelling at him. The victim said he
tried to ignore the suspect, but could not when the other man began threatening the
victim's wife. He challenged the suspect and the two men moved to a nearby lawn to
"fight it out." However, the suspect went into a nearby apartment, obtained a length of
2"x2" board and re-emerged with it in his hands. He poked the victim in the chest
once or trice, and then struck him in the side of the head. Witnesses said the suspect
ran back to his Focus with the stick and drove away.
Officer Erdman was able to determine the suspect's identity, and he contacted the
suspect at his home and learned that the incident apparently 'was caused when both
parties were eastbound on Montgomery and the victim did not yield to the suspect
when the lanes narrowed from two to one. Erdman arrested Minor for Second Degree
Assault, a felony, and booked him into the Spokane County Jail.

until 2007, is that if is time for the department to roll up their sleeves and get to work,
i! is our commitment to make sure we exceed the community's expectations with
~,uality programs and services. In our newsletter, we provided information about a
increasing demand for services, to improve our service levels for medical emergencies, and to replace some
of our aging fire apparatus and equipment.
An important part of this process will be for the department to develop criteria that can be analyzed to deter-
mine if the operational improvements accomplish our goals. We have identified a couple of performance
measures that will help us with our analysis. After June 2007. we will want to compare the response times
for the first paramedic unit to arrive at a medical call to previous years. Another performance measure will
be to monitor the number of apparatus that we are sending to medical calls after the changes as compared
to preceding years. We will be reviewing this data to determine our success and provide quarterly reports to
our elected officials.

Mike Thompson, Fire Chief January-March 2006
This past September, Jon Sprague and I went down to Louisiana to assist in the Katrina relief effort. We
headed south as part of the Washington State Emergency Management Team 5. Our team helped the com-
munities of Louisiana, but we learned our craft helping out Washingtonians first.
To explain why structural firefighters would be on a state team that assists in managing wildfires in the first
place, we need to go back a few years. Following the firestorm of 1991, local, state, and federal resources
realized they could no longer count on one individual agency to handle every disaster. The first legislation to
allow for true multi-agency responses to disasters was passed in 1994. The job of managing these resources
fell on the Washington State Emergency Management Teams. That year, one of the largest wildfires in state
history, the Tyee Creek fire, brought fire trucks from all over the state to tiny Chelan to provide structural pro-
tection for resident's homes.
Fast forward to 2002, one of the driest summers on record and Washington and Oregon forests are burning.
Spokane Valley Fire Dept did its part and provided firefighters to serve as members of a state team. Every
year since, the Spokane Valley Fire Dept has participated in State Teams and although all of the costs asso-
ciated with being on a team are reimbursed by the federal government, there is still the commitment of the
"home° department. This commitment is mirrored by numerous other fire departments in the state as well as
the Forest Service, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), Fish and Game, National Paris Service, and oth-
ers. This is all done with the understanding that when it's our'turn% teams will arrive and assist the Spokan
Valley Fire Department with whatever they need to manage any disaster.
So why go to Louisiana? As more and more disaster events occur in our nation, especially since 9/11, com-
munities are looking for expertise and experience in running the relief efforts. These State Emergency Teams
are pre-positioned to help and the Spokane Valley Fire Department is at the forefront of supporting this effort.
As FEMA looked to respond after Katrina it was clear the shear scope of the disaster would require help from
states all across our great nation.
One call to Washington State and a tidal wave of help was set in motion. A 40 person team was activated
and sent. As part of the team, Jon and I provided resource management, computer support, information dis-
bursement, and a variety of other skills. Based near Alexandria, to at Camp Beauregard, our team ran a re-
gional distribution center. We were responsible for receiving vital supplies of water, ice, MRE's, generators
and other necessities and shipping them to the areas worst affected by Katrina and Rita. It was a huge logisti-
cal challenge requiring flexibility and creativity from everyone involved.
During the almost month long stay in the gulf area, the team faced many firsts. In addition to the 100 degree
plus heat, there was 95 percent humidity making a heat index of 135 degrees. None of the working areas
were air conditioned. Many of the tasks were complex and unfamiliar but our training carried us through. We
were working side by side with FEMA, Army Corp of Engineers, and numerous other agencies. Literally hun-
dreds of communities and thousands of people were counting on us every day. One of the most rewarding
experiences was working with the local Louisianans, helping them help themselves. Their appreciation was
deep and sincere, and they worked long hours right beside us. In the end, and in the tradition of firefighters
everywhere. I hope our time in Louisiana made a difference in the lives of those affected by hurricanes
Katrina and Rita.

Mike Thompson. Fire Chief January--March 2006
The Spokane Valley Fire Department is currently gearing
up for the new changes in lay rescuer (public) and pre-
hospital provider (EMT) CPR. The American Heart Asso-
ciation changes are anticipated to take place sometime in
early to mid 2006. The major change for the lay rescuer
will be the ventilation (breathing) to compression ratio.
Lay rescuer CPR classes are held each Tuesday at the
Spokane Valley Fire Department Training Center (2411
N. Pioneer Lane). The maximum number of people per
class is 10 and the minimum is 3. The lay rescuer CPR
course is provided to the public at no cost and is a par-
ticipatory course only. The classes begin at 7:00 P.M.
and are usually completed by 8:30 P.M. For reserva-
tions, please call (509) 928-1700 during normal business
hours.
The following chart shows the number of people rained at our facility in years 2003-2005.
2003-132 people trained
2004-162 people trained
2005-187 people trained
Note: On January 21" of 2006, a patient suddenly went into cardiac arrest (no heart beat or
breathing) inside your fire district. CPR was performed immediately by two lay rescuers and 911
was activated. Today, the patient is alive and doing well.
Please consider taking a CPR class.
The life you save could be that of someone very close to you.

As of mid-March we have successfully certified 94°x6 of our response personnel (FFs) to the NIMS-IS700
level. NIMS (National Incident Management System) is a comprehensive national approach to incident
management. It is intended to improve coordination and cooperation between public and private entities in
a variety of domestic incidents like ice stones, wind storms, floods, earthquakes, pandemics, terrorism, etc.
We have sent 6 people to the National Fire Academy in Maryland for training on subjects such as Fire Pre-
vention, Incident Command, and Community Education.
Our annual Ice Rescue training took place in early January at Liberty
Lake to take advantage of the cold weather and ice forming on the
lake.
Personnel from the Training Division returned from Wenatchee last
week where they attended the annual Washington State Training and
Safety Officers Conference. The conference attendees gained valuable
information about new and changed state laws as it pertained to FF
training and safety. They also attended classes about new methodol-
ogy and best practices on fire suppression and training.
Our fire department is currently midway through our new Emergency Vehicle Accident Prevention (EVAP)
program. Please remember to pull to the right for emergency vehicles. State Law requires it.
During February's multi-company drill, crews simulated supplying water to
a house fire without the use of a hydrant. Engines are used to tank water
from the nearest water source to adequately supply an attack engine at a
house fire.
March's multi-company drill included
live fire training at our burn tower.

Mobile Data Computers Installed To Improve Response Effectiveness
Over the course of the past year, SVFD has
been developing a suite of computer hardware,
software and networking solutions that allow
ruggedized Itronix laptop computers to be in-
stalled in Fire Apparatus. Currently, seven
MDC's have been installed, and installations are
ongoing.
The MDC's are in constant contact with Dis-
patch computer servers, allowing electronic
transmission of incident related informa-
tion. Geographic Information Systems have

been installed to provide mapping of incident
locations, a measure that has improved the abil-
ity to find incident locations in a timely man-
ner. GPS units are integrated into the MDC's,
allowing the mapping of unit positions. Further
software updates will allow users to monitor the
location of all units simultaneously. Upon being
dispatched to commercial addresses, building
pre-plan information is provided automatically to
the crews. Furthermore, the MDC's provide the
ability to change unit status' with the press of a
button.

Re: Council Comment 4.11.06 meeting: N.A. "Stretch" Brown
I spoke with Mr. Brown this morning concerning his comment expressed at City
Council during the Public Comment portion during the 11 April meeting.
He was concerned about the state of repair and collection of vehicles and trash
on his neighbor's property.
I contacted our Legal Department and learned that the City had received a
default judicial decision in favor of the City. Part of that decision was the
right to enter the property and clean it up to the point that violation of the
Spokane Valley Municipal Code would cease to exist.
The next step is an administrative step. The Building Division is developing a
cost estimate to abate this nuisance. We expect that estimate to be available
within the next two weeks.
