capacity. Mr. Kelly said that the environmental assessment was completed in January, but the comment
period was extended twice to help sonie special interest groups get their comments in, adding they are
anxiaus to get the project moving. Mr. Kelly went through the project construction schedule with
construction beginning in 2007, completion of the roadway up to Argonne in 2008, and added that they
reali?.e they are beyond capacity on tilat roadway. Mr. Kelly said they have factored in our approximate
$60,000 for our participation bf the improvement of \wellesley/Sullivan Road intersection. Deputy Mayor
Tay14r and Courtcilmember vlunson bodi mentioned the importance of joint planning on projects such as
this and of the need to develop interlocal agreements.

5. "1'raffic, Traffic Liehts. Soeecl 1.,imits -Neil .Kersten/John Hohman/Insa Ndte
public Works Directvr Kersten explained that Council previously requested an overview of several traffic
issues, including elements of the model traffic ordinance and standard manuals for traffic engineering, the
process for establishing speed limits, tlie process used to coordinate traffic siguals and current efforts to
iwprove the coordination within the City, and the options for school speed zoning along with Central
Valley's request to switch from "whcn children are present" to a time-of-day sign. Engineer Hohman
began khc PowerPoint presentation by mentioning the traffic laws and stand<u'ds we must follow, the
authorities of the traff-ie engineer and of the governing bciciy, followed by rngineer Note's eYplanation of
the sneed limit process. Mr. Hohman mentioned that signal eoordination takes the effort of all three
jurisdictions (Che City, the County, and WSDOT'), and that some signals arc owned and operateci by
WSDOT, widi the County performing the actual signal maintenance. Iaiscussion inciuded the options of
btinking ye(low lights; eFfcient and safe pedestrinn movement across streets; "no turn on red" an NPines
at the school when schAOl is in session, and the feasibility of that being removed whcn school is not in
session; and the school zone sign options of "when chilclrcn are present," school days only, 7:00 a.m. -
5:00 p.m.; and of the desired to tiave this issue finalized with signs in place by ncxt fall, Mayor Wilhite
also mentioned a cross-walk in the Snuth Puies Elementary area that ends up irt a resident clriveway.
Furthcr discussion included having signs posted during summer as the school playgrounds are often used
as parks; the nced for people to obey cross-walks; law enforeement and population education. Mr.

The meeting was called to order at 10:12 by Chair Mielke, who then mentioned that Commissioner H•trris
wrould be coming &om a meeting in Cheney, and would be here later. Mi-. Mielke also mentioned that
this meeting is in keeping with the intenl: oF getting together for quarterly meetings, and that taday's
agenda is short. Chair Miel.ke welcomed Councilmembers and everyone to the meeting. Mayor Wilhite expre.ssecl Iter appreciation foc the meeting and apologies for the absence of rivo c4uncilmembers.
DISCOSSION ITEIZ:
. > Old Milwaukee Right-of-way
1. Old Milwaukee Rieht-Of-Wav
Chairrnan M_ielke explsined that ihis topic is somewhat of a moving target; and suggested starting by
recapping all parties' objectives. (See end af these mceting nqies for objectives listed duriiig the meeting
on the white board.) vLayor Wilhite stated that Public Works Director Kersten has a presentation on the
right-of-way that he would li.ke to show. .
Spokane Valley Public Works Director Kersten distributed handouts, and explained that today's
presentation is the same presentation givcn to Council at thei.r meeting last night. As Nir. Kersten went
through his presentation, he explained the slides and drawings concerning the right-of-way, and
mentioned the concerns of the light rail de_signs and it consuming the entire right-oF way in iireas, and that
dependent upon where it me.anders, (&om University going easl) it could preclucle the abiliCy to put a road
~ down the right-of-way. Other drawings/slides showecl a typiaal cross-section, two-lane configuralion, as
Mr. Kersten eacplained the nccd for about 28' from edge to edge for both rails, adding that the right-of-
way typically is 100' and dhere are places where the space narrows to 60'. Directnr Kersten showed the

Approved by City Council: '
Pines Road drawing wilh the proposed station, with the stadon right against the northern border of the
~-l
right-af-way with the parking lot out irr the right-of-way, adding that this was brought to the l.ight rail
committee's attention, and the exact location of the station has not been resolved.
Councilmember Denenny stated that the S f A(Spokane Transit Authority) approved the recommendation
from the Light Rail Steering Committee for one lane, one track, and that the Estimated cost of that project
using a single lane is three million dollars. Commissioner Richard said that a vote was taken for a single
track as the preferred alternative, but he is not sure ifthat suggests maintaining a potential for hvo lanes in
the future, and agreed the vote was to move fonvard with the reeommendation ot'the one lane, one track.
Brief discussinn followed concerning future IighY rail and road nceds; staying on the south side of the road
for light rai) or other alternatives; timing the projccts of the light rail and the corridor as it will likely take
one to nvo more years to have a final Environmentnl Impact Siatement on light rail and the corridor; and
the subarea plan and landscaping, trails and sidewalks. Mr. Kersten said that the County still owns two
parccls ac the corner of University and Appleway, which was confirmed by Engineer Kelley.
Further discussion ensued regarding the model of the light rail on the north side of the roads; the eacisting
sewer and confirmation of its exact location; re-doing Appleway from Tshirley to the eastern border and
whether the sewer line would be under the tracks; and sewer line alignmcnt and maintenancc. Mr. Rawls
explained l,hat it is believed the sewer is gcnerally in the middle of the railrQad al.ignment, but as staff has
only just begun that research, it will take several days of research to confirm that; that sewer cleaning
occurs once every five to ten years; that the sewers last 50 to 100 years, but will break and will have to be
dug up, and that a minimum of 15' is needed on each side for that excavation; and he prefers a 30'
easement in ordcr to access the sewer. Mr. Rawls further stated. roadways and sidcNvalks are not a
problem to c1ig up, but there eould be problems if the railroad traeks are too close to the manhole, or if
they are within 30', adding that it wouild tal:e a few weeks to dig up thal up. Mr. Kersten stated that the
Sprague easement is about 90 to 110' wide, and extension of the couplet at this point is veiy conccptual,
and that snecifies should be resolved in Januaiy with the completion of the subarea plan. Comcnissioner
Richard said the goals need to be reiterated, but that his primary goal is to preserve the right-oF-way for
multimodal transportation; and then pass a functional piece of land Co the City so the City can continue
with its goals and not be hindered. ,
Councilmembcr Denenny said regarding the mcntion of where to put the light rail; that would be asl:ing
the Light Rail Steering Committee to completely re-assess aI1 chcy've done over the past }'ear's; that he
feels there should bc some way to comc to consensus to guarantee easement for some right-of way for
multimodal transportation; and that he would hatc to go back to step one and chvige the alignment or re-
decide where to put this. Commissioner Richard said the goal is not to change any of that tociay, but at the
City's discretion during their negotiations with the STA, could opt to transfer tiiat right-of-way to
Sprague or some other viable alternative; that lots oP things are up in the air as the City plans for the
future.
Further discussion included the mentinn of STA's desire of at le.ast two rails going east; the County's
desire to have access to the sewcr line; the city's desire for the right-of-way; easement dedication to light
rail or multi-modal transportation; transfer of the property to the City to preserve the City's need; light
rail on the north side; needed easement to extend the couplet on the south side th.rough the corridor, and
the sufficiency of the right-of-way. Mayor Wilhite said she is not sure if Council is opposed to mass
transit, and she lias no problem in working on the verbiage to have a corridor run along the
SpragueJAppleway Corridor, and suagcsts leaving the designation of the north or south side to those with
the expertise nn laying out that project. Mayor Wilhite stated that the question is, they have a portion of
the road and they would like to have access to continuc the extension of the Appleway Corridor to at least ~
Lvergreen; and there is a need to get it on the rolls to access any federal funding, as well as a need for that
roadway to be under the City's Control in order to move forward, again reitcrating she has no objection ta
Noies, Spccial Join[ CouncillCaunty Meeting June 7, 2006 Page 2 of 5
Approved by Gity Council:
~ craRing language to allow access for mass transit. Commissioner Mielke stated that he is riot sure he
knows the City's objectives, and asks what daes "under conlroP" mean as if it means under concrol or
owned by the jurisdiction in order to receive feclcral funding; he is uncertain if owncrship is a preeequisite
to receiving federal fundina, and he asked Nvhat are the city's objcetives beyond extending Appleway to
Evergreen.
Councilmember DeVleming mentYOnecl he would like to see the completion of the subarea plan as he feels
it would include whaY would happen to Appleway to get a good end product; and that he wants to move
toward mass Lransit as it will be needed in the future, and he would like to do what is possible now, to
secure that future need. Councilmember Gothmann mentioned that the City incorporatcd so citizens
could make their oNvn decisions, and he wants to see them do that in t.his regard; and that he feels it is the
City's responsibility to the axca to reserve the option for mass transit. Councilmember Denenny stated hc
would bulk at the idea of hvo rails; that he wants the ability to be the negotiator throughout the City's
communiry when it comes to traffic movement or light rail or mass transit, and to be the deterniinant
entity as those negotiations proceed as the Council moves to best serve the city's citizens; and that if the
City has ownership of the land, it gives the City altematives; that Appleway was deeded over to us so
why separale those; that Council- wants some mechanism to allow that use of the property for mass transit
of some form. Councilmember Schimmels addecl that ownership is paramount it' the City is going to
construct that roadway. City Managcr Mercier mentioned the importance of the Appleway acquisition to
the City's ability to keep current day multimodal corridnr concurrent; and to have the opportunity to
handle traffic tMere and elsewhere.
Commissioner kichard questioned how to accomplish the easement for the mass transit, and what would
happen if the propcrty for the couplet is not wide enough? Commissioner Richard said his objective is to
~ complete the couplet; that he is eomfortable with an ea,sement with ST'A nr another bocly to handle the
control issuc, which would allow full flexibility tn negol.iate all of that essement with STA or whomever.
He stated regarding the transfer of the ownership to the City, that he does not want to rie the City's hancls,
and questions how to draft language that contemplates what happens witli the easemcnt, whether the
easement is on the north or south side; ancl where it is ine .fficient, how to handle that. Me stated that if the
City is willi.no lo contemplate the language on the pre-existing right-of-way the City now owns, he. is
acceptable with saying whatever is defeient is up to STA to acquire; and he feels this will still preserve
the long-term fulure of the projects. ,
Councilmember llenenny suggested looking at the three lane area to deterniine what kind of prnperties
need to be purehasecl; and tliat he doesn't see the point in going beyonci guarantying an easement for one
rail ercept wIiere the station crosses; and that if we need ro e:Ytend it, can Nve say we'll be lookuig at th.ree
lanes; and asked what latittade is neecfed so the Ciry can build what it needs based on what comes out of
the sub-area plan. Director Kersten stated that this plan would be limited to 1:hreE lanes, so if more is
needed in the future, the burden would be on the City. Councilmember Gottunann added the need to
address failing intersections and the temporary siCuaCion at Un..iversity City; and that we can't do thak
. unless Appleway is one of the alternatives to address both of those questions.
Prior to addressing any objectives; Commissioner Mielke suggested that an inventory is required of where
the se«rer lines are; and regarding the STA plan, he doesn't put a lot of faith that the draft proposal voted
on will bs «rhat will be ultimately approved as it was only a prcliminary ciraft. On long term, Iic
conti.nued, STA will have to have public buy-in if they are going to look at alternative transportation; but _
that he doesn't want to wait until the current system has failed. He stated the County has an interest in
maintaining access for maintenance purposes as the current underground utilities are county-owmed; that
~ the County has to take the consideration of others such as Liberty Lake, as the County determines how to
connect the communiHes within the region. [Commissioner Harris arrived at 11:30.]
Notes, Specia) Joint Council/County Mee[ing June 7, 2006 Pagc 3 of 5
Approved by City Council:
Councilmember Denenny said that if giving an easement compromise could achieve consistent language
of the entire stretch as opposed to a minimum width easement going to STA, which the County might not
be intcrested in, would not the County want that consistency as opposecl ta getting hvo different agreements for one stretch of land. Commissioner Richard stated he thinks this achicves a good
compromise as it addresses the majoriry of STA goals, ancl nearly all the City's ;oals, keeping in mind
multi-modal transportation in the corridor. Councilmember Gothmann stated that an easement on the
entire segment meets everyone's objectives.
Continued discussion included the idea of alternative transportation as opposed to light rail; making the
easement available at no cost; whether the easemenC wrould be something the City might later'scll; and
that the City Nvould likely nvt contemplate a charge for the right of occupancy or use of the right-of-way,
although there could be some direct costs associated with any such use. -
In summary, Coinmissioner Richard stated thal• the County could transfer the ownership of the easement
to the Ciry, draft languagc so il would be an easement for multi-model transpnrtation where the width
makes it feasible; in the narro«+er areas the City would bc responsible to acquirc any easement it would
need to serve it own needs for extension of the Couplet; and STA would be required to get an easement to
serve its ncetis; in exchange. the City would grant an casement on the property behveen University and the
freeway o.ff-ramp (Dishman-Mica) to STA so all together the corridor could be connected Gom the west
to the east side of Spokane Valley.
Commissioner Harris stated he feels this issue is bctween the County and the City and that STA is not
involved; that if STA wants to buy into it, they can negotiate that wit:h the City; that hc is willing to
transfer ownership of the Milwaul:ee ri;ht-of-way to the City conditionally on preserving the Counry's
in&astructureJutilities, and should the City decide at any time to release themselves of the property, that
the property woulcl return to the County, ensuring it won't be sold offto generate income. Commissioner
Harris stated he would not agee to put in verbiage for "alternative transportation or light rail, or future
mass transit;" that he does agree that iC should be used for "transportation purposes;" and that he worked
diligently on the bridging the valley, that the geople of Spokane Valley don't warlt light rail thrnugh die
eity; rail on the ground is rail on the ground; and he is only concemed with property owned by the county,
adding that he does not want to legislate what Spokane Valley has to do or where to put the corridor or '
how far.
Mayor Wilhite asked if iL would be acceptnble co add the phrase "mass-transportation," to wh.ich
Commissioner Harris respnnded that he does not agree that mass transportation would bE as determined .
by STA, but he would have to see the vote of Council beFore hc decides; and likely would agee to that
term but not without reading documentation first.
It was determined thaf City Attorney Connelly will deaft the document to share and confer with County's
lega( staff.
DISCUSSION ITEM:
> Long Term Criminal Justice Commissinner Mielke said he would like to propose this topic be addressed in the future, that there are a
numbcr of issues, including the interpretation of the law enforcement contract bettiveen the City and the
County. Councilmember Gothmann stated that the Council deals with policy, and in dealing with
contracts, he recommends Comniissioner Mielke discuss that topic with the city manager and his stafl:
Commissioncr,Mielke replied that the City Code 2.15.020 states one of the clut'ies of the City Manager is ~
to execute contracts upon council approval, and that law enforcement is important and it is important to
have some agreement on where that goes.

NF W BUSTNESS 3. Motinn Consideration: Convertint Broadwav to Three Lanes -Nei) Kersten
It was nroved by Depury Mayor Tuylor rnid seconded to approve the re-stripping of Broad►vay fron: Pirres
to Sulliycm from the current four-lane confgttration to a three-latre configuratron wirh bike lanes. Public
Works Director Kersten briefly explained the proposal, follawed by a PowerPoint presentation by
Engineer I.nga Note, containing information on the resurfacing project, road capacity, local three-lane
examples, vehicle safety/collision history, and intersection collision rates., Nis. Note also stated that staff
received letters from Central Valley Schaol nistrict and the SpAkane Valley Fire Departmcnt in support
of the conversion. In response to Council question, Police Chief Walker stated that a vehicle could move
fonvard 300 feet in the turning lane without being ticketed; and that backing out of a driveway or
maneuvering one's vehicle generally does not justify a ticket. Mayor Wilhite invited public comment.
Dan Allison, N 1203 Warren Road: said I:hat he travels $roadway all the time, and if the road is not
broke, don't fix ir that a recent survey said that 95% of the people do not want it changed to thrce lanes;
and that Council has better things to snend their money oii.
f
1'aul Clemons. 1006 N 1Warner .Roacl: explained that he lives just north of Broadway off of Adams; that
he is opposed to the change and he is leery when sonieone only explains the pros of a project and not the
cons; he wondered why the entire length of Broadway is not being proposed for a change and why those
reasons are not presented to the public.
AI Schlosser, 608 N Vercler Road: said there is no improvement in going to three lanes with
tremendously wide bike ]anes; and suggested placins arrow turns at all heavily travelcd road sections.
Grant 2odkcv, 11524 E 19`h Avenue: stated he is opposed to this especially after seeing what occurred on
16`h; that this creates road rage by not being able to get around slow people; he asked where is the money
coming from and wondered if the project is being done to use federal funding to promote alternative
transportation like bike lanes; that on 16`h Street he rarely sees anyone usino bike lanes; and he suggested
a fee be imposed to those who ride bicycles for their share of the roacl i.f bike lanes is thc purpose; he also
questioned why not just put tfiree lanes in front of the school.
Carol Stobie, 15103 East Broadwav: saicl she has lived at this current address for over 30 years and has
never seen an accident in thar area; and that there have never been any accidents with the school or the
school children; and she invited Council to ride with her as she attempts to back into and out of her
drivcway. Claire BerLyland, 1018 N Fo:c Road: she explained that she lives just two or three blocks north of
Broadway and has lived there 38 years; and that one lane less will cause chaos and will be dangerous to
put a bikc trail there.

~ Suzette Whitford, I5115 EBroadwav; explained that s6e lives right across from Broadway, and that this
is a stupid idea; that it would bc difficull to Det out of her driveway; that the area is impossible now and
putting in bike lanes will result in acciclents with l:ids in front of the schaol.
llick Behm. 9405 E Saraeue, Dishman: stated that since 1950, hc has used Broadway all the time as an
altcrnative to Sprague; and he is confused why we would talce lanes off Beoadway when trying to put in
more lanes in the corridor.
Ed Weilen, East 10'h avenue: he asked Police Chief Walker why the police department never tickets the
cars on the bike lane on 8'h Avenue; and Mayor Wilhite assured him that the Chief would be in contact
soon.
Council/staff discussion eiisued regarding the project, including that the reason for this proposal was as a
result of ttie re-con5truction of Broadway to re-grind the surface, and that this presented an opportunity to
stripe in a different manner if Council chose; that the reason for going only on 4he seciion identifieti is
because Pines would be a natural termination poinl and not a major intersection; that staff could place
signs al Che intersection informing the public of the project; that perhaps this is more of a speed
enforcement problem; that there are oiher intcrsection problems such as University and Bowdish; that
there appcars to be an ovenvhelming response that people do not want ttiis; that it appears from other
studies that such a con-figuration i.mproves safety; that this is more a mat[er of all who travcl the roadway
and not just those who live along the road; and that Broaclway is a residential neighborhood and this will ,
make it safer for bike lanes. -

BACKGROUND: On 6 December 2005 Staff presented a short PowerPoint presQntation
conceming fihe Right of Way Pavement Cut Policy.
On 11 April 2006 Staff continued that presentation to Council itemizing the. types of changes

referenced in that meeting,
~ A Public Hearing was held on 8]une 2006 by the Spokane Valley Planning Commission.
A First Reading of Ordinance 06-015 was held on 13 ]une, 2006.
During tfie First Reading fihe following additional issues were considered by Council:
1. Liability insurance levels as suggested by the City's Insurance underwriter.
2. Allowing the director to approve longer permit time limits for larger projects.
After the presentation, the City Nianager pointed out that there may be a bit of confusion
concerning the time limit for the permit duration in 10.05.080, that runs through the winter.
Staff suggests deleting the words "the following" from the suggested amendment to clarify this
issue.
The amendment to this section of the Municipal Code incorporates that direction and will
accomplish tliree things:
1. Definitively accepts the performance bond that accompanies a Washington Labor and
Industries Contractor's License as adequate for small pavement patches.
2. Establishes a time frame for the duration of an Obstruction Permit that accounts for -the
winter closure of the local asphalt plants. 3. Substitutes standard language into this Article reflecting the City's current method of
enforcement for civil violations.

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business X new business ❑ public hearing

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Repealing Property Maintenance Code, First reading of Ordinance 06-017
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 10.1 5.010(H); SVMC 7.05; SV1v,1C 10.30.150 et sey
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative report viay 2, 2006.
BACKGROUND: Seaft' has been reviewing various code provisions previously adopted by the City to
eliminace confusino, inapplicable or duplicative provisions. One such duplication is that the Council
adopted specific provisions addressing nuisance violations under S\T4C 7.05, 7.10, and 10.35.150, et seq.
Fach provision «+as drafted nnd considered to address problems identified in our city limits.
In contrast, the ] 997International Property Maintcnance Code -vvas adopted along with apprnYimately 10
other scandarclized codes at the time of incorporation. It is more i.n the nature of a fallback code that '
~ jurisdictions can adopt in lieu of drafting their own. As such, it is aecurate to say that SVMC 7.05 and
10.35.150, et seq. are more accurate expressions of the approach dhis City wants to tiike toward nuisance
abatement. (S%rMC 7.10 relating to junk vehicles was recently repealed, with the substairtive provisions
rollecl into SVMC 7.05)
Additionally, the International Property Maintenanec Code gets into issues the Council has declined to
enter in the past. An e,rample would be the existence of insects in a residence. Enforcemcnt of the
Property Viaintenance Code could reyuire the City to intervene, for insta»ce, in a private landlord/tenant
dispute as to who is responsible fur abatcment of such a condition. Existence of insects can be due to a
variety of factors that are not of a public concern, or of a publie responsibility to abate.
Given the abovc, staff recommends repealing SVMC 10.15.010(H). Ordinance 06-017, attached, would
accomplish that. • OPTIONS: Leave SVMC 10.15.010(H) as it is; adopt Ordinance 06-017 repealing SVMC 10.15.010".
REC06VIMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: °I move that we advance Ordinance 06-017 Repealing
SWi IC 10, 15,0 10(14), Adopting the 2003 International Property rlaintenance Code, to a second reading at

SnIldFINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SPOKANE
VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
;00Wl-✓ June 8, 2006
Findinga:
1. The Planning Commission hetd a pubiic hearing on June 8, 2006, to receive testimony
conceming the vacation of an unimproved portion of McMillan Street between EuGid
Avenue and Buckeye Avenue. The date of tt►e hearing was set by City Council on May
09, 2006 by Spokane Valley Resolution No. 06-011. Notice of the hearing was

newspaper of the City, pasted in three conspicuous locations within the City, provided to

home, resutting in headlights shining Into her windows. The Planning Commission felt

Re: Law Enforcement Dispatch
Nistorv
I recently provided a memorandum (Datcd Septemher 29, 2005) addressing County dispatch fees.
'I'hat memo focused specificall,y on the County's decision to relieve three jurisdictions of their
obligation to pay for dispalch fees. '[lie resolution to ihat mattcr was to remove the computer-
aided dispatch (CAD) events numbErs for those jurisdictions f'rom the total oumber of CnD cvcnts
before determining thc rate of u.sage for the City of Spokane Valley. This insures that tlle speeial
arrangemerit beriveen the County and these tluee jurisciictions will not affec;t us linancially.
7'his memo delves decper into the nature of dispatch charges; the relationship to the 911 Call
C:enter and 911 tax revenue, arid the calculation 3nd aUocation of dispatch charges to the City of
Spokane Valley.
Process .
Tlie 911 Call Center, Report Writing, Cpunry dispatch, City of Spokane dispatch, and Firc dispatch
all share space in the sane build'uig. '1'he Spoktine County Emergency Services Communications
Board is the goveming body for the 911 call-center and R.eport Writing Services. 911 taxes
c:ollected on wiee-line and wirelcss telephone accounts are used solely far 911 call taking,
including personnel and equipmcnt. Jurisdictions contract for Report Writ.ing Services. lndiviclual
.jurisdictions are responsible f'or their own dispatch services. I;vents which are tiot of an
emergency nature or that are being reported after the fact go directly to Report Writing Services.
911 calls are reccived into the 911 center and appropriate 911 calls are electronically forwarded to
the proper jurisdiclional dispatch centers. Dispatch operators forward events to officers by radio.
and through mobile date computers.
The following f]owchart shows how an emergency 911 call becomes a CAD event, how dispatch
assigns these events, and haw officers respond according to the priority level of the event. Lvents
range firom the most serious (Priority 1), which demand immediate attention, to thc 1east serious
(Priority 3).

Section 10.07.09, amending Ordinance 06-009.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 10.07.09, WAC 395-195-620
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On June 14, 2005 the Council amended the sign
code previously adopted from Spokane County. On May 15, 2006 the Council amended this
code adding allowed signs on bus benches. Over the last four months the City has begun the
enforcement process beginning with temporary and portable signs. A report was made to
council on May 2, 2006 suggesting a number of revisions to the code for purposes of
clarification and in response to actual conditions encountered in the field. At that time the
council determined that the revised p~ovisions would be presented to council as an
0 administrative report and then forwarded to the sign committee for review. Attached are the
revised provisions.
BACKGROUND: The procedural background is set forth above. Attached is the RCA for the
previous administrative report presented to council on May 2, 2006. This proposed revision also
reflects the provisions of the Comprehensive Plan discussing aesthetic corridors and policies

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Ordinance 05-016
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of ordinance 05-016 BACKGROUND: The city council passed the above ordinance in ,June of 2005. The City has
begun a systematic enforcement effort in 2006 concentrafing first on temporary signs. As
expected the enforcement process has raised a number of que~;tions as the application-of the .
• ordinance and suggests a few changes-fhat would help clanfy the intent of fhe ordinance.
O I've attached the Sign•Code Enforcement Guidelines issued to date. They address the following
issues:
1. A frame signs, reader boards and banners .
2. Exempt signs " 3. Permanent signs vs. portable signs
4, flags and pennants
5. "auto roW•signs, . .
6. directional signs, 7. non-conforming rights. The next step in enforcement is to review and regulate the number of permanent signs- allowed.
This will raise a number of issues due to the current limitation and the_nurnber of permanent
signs currently in place.
Finally, I will discuss a number of specific changes to fhe sign code which the cquncil may want
to consider. They include the following:
1. A deftnition of signs being regulated by the ordinance.
2. And expanded definition of exempt signs, specificalfy flags of institutions and
merchandising displays.
~ 3. A definifion of permanenf signs.
4. Consideration of adding "auto row" signs fo the list of exempt signs.
5. An expanded definition of °directional signsL. .
- 6. Clarification of whether or not temporary or portable signs of any kind are granted non-
conforming rights and if any are recognized, establishing a period to phase out the
,
same.
7. Revision of the definition of nonconforming signs and the verbiage under nonconforming rights to ensure uniformity.
8. Phase out of ,permanent nonconforming signs. If the City, council wishes to initiate some adjustments to the sign ordinance the next step would
be to take the proposed changes to the sign committee then*back to the planning commission.
OPTIONS: No action or refer specific issues to the sign committee for consideration.

Two additional issues have been raised. -
Issue: Wb.at types of flags a;e exe.m_pt fi•om the permii#ing process?
Answer: T:he code exempts "flags o.f iA.stitutians". These wards are not dehned in tbe _ ordinance. The Amcrican heritage dictianary defmes iri~ti2ti.ons as, "ar4 orgaaization,
esp, oae dedFCated to public service." 'Conscquently, if the f1ag repTeseu#s au existing or
pnor public orgarxizatxon,, such as a city, state or coulatry or a civic arganizatibn such as
#.he red cross ox bay scoeats thc fl4g would lx.kely fa1Z witlvn tYiis excCPtion. If the flag
represents a cammercial in#eTest or is 'pZa.ced salely to draw.-attention'to a,ntl bring
~ custoxuers iuto a store it lzkely w-auld nat be exempt. A finai twast occu.rs if the flag is
corxsidered seasonal decorations w-hich arc a] so specifacCy exenxpt,
~ ' • . , .
rssue; To what extent are poztable signs that lawFully existing pi-ior to the enactment of
r,he recent code tv be considered nonconfornxirg nd aJlowed ta reiiiai.n?
.
Answer: Tkxis q-uestibn ft'as co»ae up in Mo contexts. The first is'wbe'Te a portable sign
such as a reader board was purcb.ased amd- used'for adveitFsememt przoz tv-the enactment
of the Spakane County code. in 1991. (Sefare tYiat iir.ne there'-was no regulation)
$ecause the Spokane County Code ~dopted iri 1991 gave i~oucanforrning righ#s on1y io
signs that wexe, "pumanently instal[ed an,d lcgally erected prior to the adnption of
' this Coae" and farther pzohibited partable signs oufirighf, suclx signs should not be
cansidexed, at t,his time, to 'be sf gns that werr, y ere cted and maintai.ned" pxzor to
#he adoptxon of our current sigr~ c,ode and as a msiAt have no nonC6n.foTU)_1U.g iiglits, - -
The second conte-t is raised by .portable sigas tliat wi~re expressiy a11owed pursuut to
~ the Spakane Cownty Code eitYt~r as it existed prior to the incorporati on of- tlte Czty of .
I Spokane Valley or as at was a.dopted'at the. time of i.ncoxporati on. (The City of Spv.kane
Va11ey acYopied, with orJy raiztor changes, the 20 42 ~pokane Coua.-kEy. sign code,)
. The Spokane County Code in effect prior to 2002, undeic Sectioxi _14:804.020 excmptcd
"inczdentaY signs".
lncidental signs were de#ined as follows: A sr.u.all nonelecte-ic EoLfarAaatian sign four (4) squ at•c fect ox Iess in area which
~ pertains to goods, OrodncEs, se~vxces, or facilities which are avazlabte on tho premises where thc sxgn occurs artd rnteadcd primlLari.Iy for the convenxence
of the publie whiTe un the premises. .
~ .
i -
This sign code was amended in 2002 by the County. It mainta.ined the same exemption ~
for incidental signs, with the same defin.ition. In 2005 the revised SV'MC code
eliminated ttus exemption.
Assuming a sign was an allowed nonconforming sip,n pursuant to the incidental
exemption prior ta the adoption of the new code in 2005; its continuing non-conformity
must then be analyzed under the language,of the newly adopted code. The code has huo
peif.nent pro-,risions. The first, the definition of a nonconforming sign states:
. Anv sign `vhich wa.s lawfulIy erected ancl maintained on private proPet•ty
which now, as a result of code amendments, does not conform fo all
• applicable regulations and restrictions of this chaptcr. '
'1'he facial language of this provision does not distuiguish between portable or permanent
signs when deining what a nonconforming sign is.
The second pertitient provision is found under the heacline, "nonconform.ing rights", and
states: . . .
Anv nermanent sigu made non-conforming as a result v£ the acioption af
~ - these: regulations may be repaired, but not structurally altered or madc more
nonconforming in any way. If the sign is remaved. in order to make repairs,
it shall be rcPlaccd within sir►ty. (60) days, or the Peemit is vaid: Thereafter,
the sign shall conform to the requirements of this section. _,.i
While this section clearly states that non-conforming rights apply to permanent signs it is in conflict with the definition set forth above. Until this conflict is eliminated though an
arnendment to the sign code I would not recommend talEing enforcement action against
signs that are proven to be lawfully erected and maintained prior to the date of the
adoption of our new s'ign code and that meet the criteria set forth in the definition of an
"incidental sign." . , . • • ~

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: June 27, 2006 City Manager Sign-off: _
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information X admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Fire District 1 Fee AgreemenUCity fee resolution
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None .
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City's fee resolution, which was last approved in
January of 2006, includes fees for Fire District 1(FD1) se'rvices.
BACKGROUND: Since incorporation, the City has charged FD1 fees to those who obtained
approvals and/or building permits from the City. This approach allowed the City to provide "one .
stop permittingL in most cases. The City's fee resolution set fees high enough to pay Fire
, District 1 for their services and to provide a handling fee for the City's efforts.
FD1 has requested changes to their fees. City staff preferred to have the fees included in an
~ agreement between the finro agencies. The attached agreement has been prepared by staff and
reviewed by FD1. .
Fire District 1 also wanted to issue citations under the authority of the Spokane County Sheriff's
Office. This issue is best addressed between Fire District 1 and Spokane County.
The City recognizes the Fire District will occasionally issue citations for life safety code
violations under the County's authority. The attached agreement addresses the responsibilities
for costs and liabilities resulting from citation issuance, under section 11 of the agreement.
OPTIONS: Provide direction to staff indicating which of the options below is preferred: 1.)
Approve the agreement; 2.) Modify the agreement and then approve,it; 3.) Operate without an
agreement; 4.) Discontinue assessing FD1 fees for FD1 services, when permits are issued.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council direction to proceed with this agreement is
recommended.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If the City continues to assess FD1 fees for the District, a
handling fee of $35 is anticipated with each fee. This may result in less revenue to the City
($4,000/year?) However, the $35 handling fee recovers the City's costs and maintains the one
stop permitting process as we know it today. ~ STAFF CONTACT: Ken Thompson, Tom Scholtens, Mike Connelly

Re: Monthly Report
During May, finance employees worked on the following projects:
2006 Budect amendments

0 2007 IIudizet nreparation
Departments are preparing their 2007 budgets. Thc deadline for data to be to the fiinance
department is June 30. The process will conclude in November with the adoption of ihe 2007
budget after thrEe public hearings.
Audit of 2005 busincss
Thc state auditor's office has adviseci us they wauld like to begin preliminary work on the 2005
audit. The City of Spokane Valley has bcen moved up on the scheclule because we now receive
more ttian $500,000 each year in federal funds.
Budeet variance/investinent reaorts Reports showi.ng a comparison of selected revenues and expenditures, to our 2006 budget, at
May 31, 2006 are attached. Staff provides information on all fiinds quarterly but only on
seleeted operating ~'~unds at the end nf otlier months.
If rcvenues and expenditures floweci to the City eveiily throughout the year, we would expect
both revenues and expenditures to show 42% realized at May 31.
~~,J .
Most City operations are includcd in the General Fund. Significant 2006 General Fund revenue ~vaziances, using 2005 as a base year, are:
+Sales tax is up $600,000
+Recreation fees are up $150,000 (CenterPlace)
+Investment income is up $107,000 (more cash on hand and increased interest rates)
+Planning/Building fees are down $260,000
The investment report is also attached for your review.
Financial nroiections for retreat on June 17
. Revenue and expenditure projectious are being updated for thc General, Street and Capital Funds
in anticipation of the June 17 retrcat. Updated projections will not be as positivc as they were at
the February retreat. Revenues are leveling off while expenditures contuiue to climb.
Addifiional office snace in buildinp- next door
We had hoped to propose inoving our inspectors and code compliance people to office -spaee
next door, freeing up our ctu-rent file storage area. However, an architcct reyiewed our existing
file storage area and the existing building division, and advised staff not to increase khe load in
khat area. Diseussions aze taking place with municipal records storage expsrts and our
Community Development I7epartment to determine what our next step might be.

Juvenile Detention Center on a felony count of First Dcgree Murder.
♦ 1)etectives Seck Prolific Check Counterfeiter
Spokane Valley property crimes detectives have uncovered an identity theft and check
fraud ring whose victims nu.mber inore than 1,000. In April, Deputy Darrell Rohde Nvas
at the Wal-Vtart Store, 15727 E. Broadway, on a business contact. He was contacted by
the manager who reported three suspicious persons had attcmpted to buy more than
$1,000 worth of inerchandise with a check. She declined the chECk, even though Tele-
Check showed it as being good. The suspects had alrcady fled, but they left belund the
check and counterfeit identification. Rnhde contacted the check account holder and
leamed that she probably had a boY of new checks stolen f.rom he.r mail. In May the casE
was assigned for further investigation to Dctcctive Dean Meyer, who began re•ceiving
numerous calls from busuiesses that had taken bad checks in that victim's name. He
leamed of a possible suspect vehicle, a black 1980's Chevy El Camino driven by a
woman in her 30's or 40's. t1ftEr stakinS out various Spnkane Valley motels, he located a
sunilar car at The Crosslands Motel, 12803 E. Sprague. Watching the car from an
adjacent business' security cameras, they leamed the car was associated with a particular
room, which was rented by 25-year-old Lakotah F. Rangel; a Spokane man wacrted for
Escape from Community Custody. Detectives vleyer and Kirk Keyser arrested Rangel on
the Nvarrant and found he possessed a counterfeit temporary driver's license and checks
belonging to soineone el se. He was subsequently charged with Second Degree Identity
Thefi as Nvell. They obtauied permission to search the room and found numerous items of
O new merchandise, a computer --Arith blank clieck stock in the printer, and other chcck and
identification-making materials. Thc room contained personal documents &om nearly
1,000 unsuspecting victims, to include checks; pcrsonal inail, tax statements, credit cards,
cmployment applicativns and stale-issued checks. Meyer determiued that the ringleader
was 44-year-old Vicl:i D. Nance, 2403 N. Pcrry. He produced a photomontage from
which the suspect was picked by victim businesses. Nance has had previous encoiuiters
with law enforcemcnt over identity theft issues. Nance is now wanted on nine felony
. counts vf Forgery, Theft ancl Identity 'rheft.
♦ Confused Con Faces 1\tew Felonies '
Spokane Valley Police arrested a confuscd fornier convict after tley caught him driving
a car ihat wasn't his, in pants that weren't his, that lleld a meth pipe that wasn't his, xvhile
he sat above a stolen pistol that wasn't ]iis either. OFFicer Jeff Gctchcll was following a
• Dodge Spirit on Appleway when he ran the plate and leamed that it belonged on a
diFf'erent ear. Getchell stopped the car and noted the driver making eatraordinary
movements in the front seat Af the vehicle. When asked for identification, the drivcr
iclentified himsel_f as Levoy Gaff Burnham Jr., 36, 5017 N. Smith. He said he had no
driver's license and that the car wasn't his. He and the female passenger disagreEd on thc
name of the car's owner. A driver's license check revealed that Burnham's was
suspended. Getchell also leamed of an outstanding warrant charging the driver vvith being
a Material Wihless. Getchell arrested Burnham and searched his clothing. When he found
a pipe contauung methamphetamine in a pocket, the suspect said the pants didn't belong
to him either. t1 subsequent seazch of the ear turned up a bullet and .22-caliber pistol
-beneath the driver's scat. Thc gun had been stolen frnm a Law Vegas address, and
Burnham has prior felony convictions that makc it unlawful for hiui to possess any
Page 3
firearm. He told Getchell the gun wasn't his either. Unconvinced, the officer drove _ Burnham to the Spokane County Jail and booked him on felony counts of Possession of

items for the year.
■ Until a new youth services coorclinator begins work, Pat Stai.nbrook from North Spokane is
working part-time on youtli ordering. Pat did an internship in Colleckion Services last sumnler

City annexation activities . .
■ Liberty L,ake: We've Ueen i.n.forzned by City of Liberty Lake officials that their recent
annexation east of the Spokane Valley city limats was fi.nal.i.zed too late to change 2007 property
tax collectYOns. 'S'herefore SCLD will collect its levy from the area's property owners next year
and shauld continue to allow residenrs use of labraries.
■ vorth Division: I received the City of Spokane s North Division feasibiJity study and a leiter
notifyulg SCLD of the annexahion proposal. 4Vhile the base area has only a$46 million current
assessed valuation that generates about $23,000 i,n SCI.D property taxes, if the Boundary
Review Board expanded the azea to indude the entire area (commercial and residential) south
of Holland Rd., oux tax impact would be about $163,000, a significant percentage of tihe cost of
. operating the nearby North Spokane Library. With Boazd direction at the V[ay me2ting, I
initiated discussions with Spokane Public Library director Pat Partovi regarding mitigation
agreement provisions similar to those for the Moran Prairie area.

New Spokane Valley Library
.
The Spokane Valley city council's approval of the consultant contract for the Sprague/Appleway
Corridor study project is good news for SCLD since we're hoping the city center concept will
prove feasible and provide a location for the new Spokane Valley Library.
4Vith the completion of customer focus group research, Strategic Research Associates worked with
us to develop the customer telephone survey questionnaire. 7'his will be a random sample of
customers wha have used Spokane Val.ley Library within the past monfih, even i.f they pri.marily
use either Otis Orchards or Argonne. It will be lim.ited to t:hose 1$ and older and the 400-person
sample's proportion of primary users of the three Spokane Valley libraries will be paral.lel to
overall proportion of Spokane Valley branches of registration. Calling will begin in early June.
2007 property taac estimate
According to the Assessor's Office, Spokane County's total assessed valuatiion has increased by
16.2% over last year, exclusive of new construction. I.f our a.v. increase parallels tlie county's, it
will Faceeed the 2006 increase and ah least equal the most optimistic of the property tax sce.narios
that I presented at the April board retreat. Our levy rate would drop by up to 12% (6,T) and result
in a levy that's up to $1 million below that of the full 50¢ rate.
This being the case, l've advised that serious consideration be given to a fall 20061evy lid override
election-prior to the planned 2007 Spokane Valley LCFA ballot proposals. By 2008 we may not
have sufficient revenue to mainfiain current operationalleveLs.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER:
Ponderosa Low density residential designed for on-premises maintenance of a limited
number of horses. Heavily wooded with rugged terrain in parts. Expansion to the northwest Jprecluded because of the Dishman Natural Area and terrain. Over 95% of lots fully
developed. Some remain vacant because of topography.
Rotchford: Low densiry residential designed for on-premises maintenance of a limited
number of horses. Terrain is relatively flat east of Sullivan Road with steep hillside limiting
. any easterly expansion. Equine easements provided on local streets. Subdivision is fully
developed.
Social Character. Well-organized and cohesive neighborhoods.
DESIGN QUALITY: Local access and residential collectors designed to accommodate lots
of approximately one acre. Single-family housing is well-maintained and designed for
residential privacy. A limited number of large animals, especially horses is a design theme in both neighborhoods.
Atthough the Spokane Valley 2006-2026 Comprehensive Plan has been adopted,
Spokane Valley has not yet established implementing regulations, performance or
design standards to assure the quality of residential design to preserve
neighborhood character pursuant to the Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY:
Wastewater. Limited acress to public sewer in the Ponderosa. Balance of property relies
on septic systems. Rotchford Acres relies entirely on septic systems. Re-subdivision to
increase residential densities should not be permitted absent an organized wastewater
collection and treatment system. ' .
Potable Water. Ponderosa is served by Spokane County Water District #3, Rotchford by
Vera Irrigation Dist. #15, both Group aA° Community Water Systems. Re-subdivision to
increase residential densities will require adequate supply and pressure for domestic
consumption and fire protection.
Stormwater: the Ponderosa subdivision has intermittent streams that drain to Chester
Creek. The contribution of to the rate and volume of flows from additional impenrious cover
resulting from re-subdivision could result in an environmental damage as yet undetermined for which mitigation would need to be established in a planned and coordinated manner.
Similar concems conceming drainage which could affect Saltese Creek. A significant
stream traversing the neighborhood has been reclassified as a Type 4 stream by the Department of Natural Resources Division of Fish and Wildlife. The implications of this
change have not been assessed. The Federal Emergency Management Agency proposes
to release draft floodplain maps affecting Saltese Creek is mid-2008.
Erodible soils: Both the Rotchford and Ponderosa subdivisions include or abut geological
hazard areas which require further evaluation prior to allowing additional residential
densities.
. Native Vegetation/habi#at: Ponderosa includes areas of wildlife critical habitat for White Tail
Deer and threatened species.
Spokane Valley has not yet established implementing regulations, performance or
design standards to assure the continued preservation of environmental quality in
outiying areas with limited public infrastructure and specific environmental ~conditions, such as steep slopes, intermittent flooding and highly erodible soils.

PUBUC HEALTH 8 SAFETY:
Access: Ponderosa: Property lies west of the Union Pacific Railroad with only two points of
access. Additianal access should be required priar to any increase in residential densitie*
for evacuation and emergency servtces. The evaluation of access wilt be incorporated in
the Natura! Hazard Mitigation Ptan under developmerrt by the City of Spokane Valley in the
Fall and Winter of 2045-2006.
Animal Maintenance: The requirements for the maintenance and upkeep of even a limited
number of targe animals raises issues of campatibility resulting from naise, odor, proximity
to residential structures, flies, etc.. These issues are compounded with increased
residential densities and requirements for buffering for any additional residential densities
may be required.
LandfiU: Ponderosa: The proximity of a closed landfill to an increased number of
residences requires additional study.
Although the Spokane Valley 2006-2026 Gomprehensive Plan has been adopted,
Spokane Valley hzs not yet established implementing regulations, perFormance or
deslgn standards to asaure tfie quality of residential dQSfgn to preserve
neighbofiood character pursuant to the Plan.

Amendment to Cross-Over Matrix
On May 5th, 2006, the Council adopted ordinance 06-011 amending portions of the
Phases 1 regulations and categories matrix contained in the adopted Spokane County
Zoning Code to reflect changes resulting from the newly adopted Comprehensive Plan.
One of tfie portions of that code not adopted was the limitation associated with the UR 7
zone, limiting density to 6 units per acres.
Without this limitation the adopted matrix and development code is not consistent with
the recentfy adopted comprehensive plan which limits density in this classification to 6
units per acres. The attached amended matrix makes that change and ensures
consistency with the comprehensive plan until the new development code is adopted.
This matter will be referred to the Planning Commission for review and provided to
CTED then brought back to Council for formal adoption.
