Item: Check all that apply: 0 consent ❑ old business [I new business ❑ public hearing

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Watershed Implementation Plan - Memorandum of Agreement
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chaptzr 90.82 RCW - Watershed Planning
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Vote to approve WIRA 55I57 Watershed Plan
BACKGROUND: On May 24, 2005, City Council was presented the Draft Watershed
Management Plan for the Micidlz Spokane and Little Spokane watersheds (Watershed
Resource Inventory Areas 55 and 57). At that meeting, Council voted to recommend approval
of the Watershed Plan. The WRIA 55/57 Watershed Plan was adopted by the Commissioners
of Spokane, Stevens and Pend Oreille counties on January 31, 2006.
The next step in the watershed planning process is to develop a Detailed Implementation Plan
(DIP). The DIP is developed by the VVatershed Implementation Team (WIT), tivith Spokane
County acting as lead agency. The WIT is the successor to the Watershed Planning Unit, the
group that developed the Watershed Plan. The WIT may include affected cities, counties,
J public agencies, river users, industry and agriculture interests.
Spokane County proposcs that guidelines for WIT membership and for developing the DIP be
established in the attached Memorandum of Agreement (MOA). The MOA also includes two
attachments, the first of which establishes the list of WIT representatives. The second
attachment is a chart that shows resources that each implementing government is willing to
contribute. The WIT has received State grant funding that requires a local match, which can be
financial, or goods and services (such as staff hours).
If Council decides to participate on fhe WIT in developing the DIP, it is suggested that the City
minimally commit one staff inember to attend one WIT meeting per month. City legal counsel
has reviewzd the draft MOA and has not expressed any concern.
City Council reviewed the Draft MOA at its July 11, 2006 regular meeting. By consensus,
Council directed staff to place the Draft MOA on the July 25, 2006 consent agenda.
OPTIONS:
• Authorize iUlayor's signature.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 25, 2006 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: x conseni ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
[j information admin. reQort ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Web Properties Office Space Lease
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City has approximately 20,000 square feet of
office space leased at Redwood Plaza on E. Sprague Avenue. The City Council has authorized
these leases during the last three years. The Finance Committee met in May and cfiscussed
leasing additional spacz to house our employees and to store City files and records. Staff
presented this lease at the July 11 council meefing, at vvhich time it was Council consensus to
place the lease on the July 25`" consent agenda.
BACKGROUND:
Staff thought that files and records could expand in the current room (large room with no outside
windows near the east wall of the building) as the City grew. A review of building plans and a
tour of the structure by an architect indicated the floor in fhe file room (above the dance studio)
would not carry additional loading.
Northwest Christian Schools, the City's landlord, owns the one-story building immediately to the
west of the City's current site. During early 2005 the City leased warehouse space in that
building. There is currently office space available in that same building which is approximately
75 feet from the west wall of the building the City currently occupies.
As the city adds employees, additional office space is needed. Space in the existing building is
limited and our current lease is for $15.15 per square foot per year. Space is availabte in the
building to the west for $12.50 per square foot for the remainder of 2006.
Terms of the lease are still being nego#ia#ed but it appears the building owner is willing to lease
the City 3,290 square feet in the building next door, under the following terrns:
1. This lease will begin August 1
2. City will pay for 2,100 square feet but occupy 3,290 during the current year
3. During the first three months of 2007 the City will pay for 2,700 square feet but will
occupy 3,290 square feet
4. Beginning in April of 2007 the city will pay $12.88 per square foot per year (3% increase
in rate) for the 3,290 square feet in the building nzxt door.
, 5. The lease rate will increase 3°/fl on April 1 of 2008 and 2009.
6. This new lease will expire on April 1, 2010, with the termination of our other leases at this
site.
The current plan is for our Building Division to move into this space and to move their related ,
files to the new building (on a concrete slab) as well. -
OPTIONS: 1.) Direct staff to proceed with a lease of office space as outlined; 2.) Direct staff
to proceed wi#h a lease of office space with new changes identified by the City Council; 3.)
Direct staff to negotiate a lease at another site.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Approval of the "Commercial Lease Agreement
for Redwood Plaza"
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There will be significant addiiional costs involved in leasing
ofifice space, beyond the lease itself. Furniture, office cubes and one or more banks of rolling
files will be needed at an estimated cost of $130,000. However, these items can be taken to a
new facility when our lease expires.

NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER
Ponderosa: Low density resideniial designed for on-premises maintenance of a limited
number of horses. Heavily wooded with rugged terrain in parts. Expansion to the northwest
precluded because of the Dishman Natural Area and terrain. Over 95% of lots fully
developed. Same remain vacant because of topography.
Rotchford: Low density 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 fu11y
developed.
Social Character. Wel{-organi2ed and cohesive neighborhoods.
DESIGN QUALITY: Local access and residential colledors designed to accommodate lots
of approximately one acre. Single-family housing is well-maintained and designed for
residential pmracy. A limited numaer of large arnmals, espeaally horses is a design theme
in both neighborhoods
Afthough 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 residentlal design to preserve
neighbofiood character pursuant to the Plan.
ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY:
Wastewater. Limited access to public sewer in the Ponderosa. Balance of property relies
on septic systems. Rotchford Aues 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, Rotchfotd by
Vera Irrigation Dist. #15, both Group 'A' 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 inteRnittent streams that drain to Chester
Creelc. The contribution of to the rate and volume of flows from additional impervious cover
resulting from re-subdivision could result in an environmental damage as yet undeLermined
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 Msnagement Agenr,y proposes
to release draft floodplain maps affecting Saltese Creek is mid-2008
Erodible soils: Both the Rotchford and Ponderosa subdivisions include or abut geofogical
hazard areas wfiich require further evaluation pnor to allowing additional residential
densities.
Native Vegetation/habitat: Panderesa mcludes arEas of wi{dGfe cntical habitat for White Tail
Deer artd threatened species
Spokane Valley haa not yet establishsd implementing regulations, performance or
dealgn atandards to assure the continued preservation of environmental quality in
outtying areaa witfi limited publfc iniraatructure and specific environmental
conditions, such as steep slopes, Intermittent flooding and highly erodible sofls. ~

PUBLIC HEALTH 8 SAFETY:
Access: Ponderosa: Property lies west of the Union Pacific Raiiroad with onty two points of
access. Additional access shou{d be required prior to any increase in residential densities
foc evacuation and emergency services. The evaluation af access will be incorporated in
the Natucal Hazard Mitigation Plan under development by tfis Ciry of Spokane Valley in the
Fall and Winter of 2005-2006.
Animal Maintenance: The requirements for the maintenance and upkeep of even a limited
number of Iarge animals raises issues of c;ompatibility resutting from noise, odor, proximity
to residential structures, flies, etc.. These issues are compounded with inc.reased
residerttial densities and requiremectts for buffering for any additional residerrtial densities
may be required.
Landfitl: Pondemsa: The proximity of a clased landfill to an increased number of
residences requires additional study.
Although the Spokane Valley 2086-2026 Comprehensive Plan has been adopted,
Spokane Valley has not yet established implementlng reguladons, performance or
design standards to assure the quality of residential design to preserve
neighborhood charecter pursuant to the Plan.
PUBUC NOTICE-
Current property owners purchased property with notice of existing regulations pertaining to
the keeping of large animals. The Short Piat process requires notice only to adjacerit
property ovmers.
COMPUANCE WITH THE BTATE EMIIRONMEN7nL PouCY ACT 1SEPA1: Ordlnance No. 48
(effective March 31. 2003) adopted on an iRterim basis by reference the Spokane
Environmental Ordinance (Spokane County) thereby implementing the State
Envlronmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Chapter 197-11 of the Washington
AdministraUve Code (WAC) withln the jurisdictional Ifmits of the City of Spokane
Valley. An Envfronmental checkllst was completed and a Determination of Non-
Signiffcance was issued on April 26, 2004. Conclusions were based on the finding
that a regul8tion preserving the status quo would have no adverse environmental
impact.
Conclusion(s):
Pennitting piecemeal increase in residential densitiea without the establishment of
implementing regulatioRa, performance and design standards raises serioua iasues
related to preaervatlon of neighborteood charaeter and design, maintaining
environmental quality, pubNc hesFth and safety, and the adequacy of public notice,
which require additional study prior to the establishment of permanent regulation.
III. DECISION
The Interim UR-1 Residential Estate Zoning adopted pursuant to Spokane Val{ey
Ordinance 04-035 and extended by Ordinance No. 06-001 until September 6, 2006,
should be extended for a third six month period urttil March 6, 2007 pending
completion of environmental review and the deve{opment ot implemenGng
regulations, perfoRnance and deafgn standards to presenre nelghborhood character,
maintain ernironmental quality, and to ensure the continued heatth, safety and
welfare of the areas pursuant to RCW 35A.63.220 following a public hesring before
the City Council. Resolutfon of issues shall be accompllshed in accordance wfth the

5 BE IT. ENAC'1'E1? BY THE LEG7S.T.,ATURE OI' THE STATE Ok' WASHINGTON:
6 NEw SECTION. Sec. 1. Despite laudab:lc efforts b,y all levels of
7 governanent, private indiva.dua].s, nonprofit organizata.ons, and
8 charitable toundations to end hortlelessness, the number of homeless
9 persons in washa.nyton is unacceptabl.y high. The state's homeless
3.0 population, furthertno:re, includes a :I.a;r.ge numt'»r of families w:i.th
].1 chtldren, youth, and emp:l.oyed persons. ' TF-ie ].eg:i.slaturc finds that the
12 €iscal and societal costs of i-iornelessness are higlz fax boi:h the public
13 and p:r.a.vatie sectors, and thaL- endinq homeiessness should ne a goal fo.r
14 sL-are and local government.
15 The lega.slature finds that there are many causes oT homelessness,
16 includa.nq a shortage of af.f.ordable housing; a shortage of family-wage
17 jobs t•rhich undermines housing affoxdability; a lack of an accessible
18 and af.FOr.dable health care system available to al.l who suffcr J'rom
p. 1 E2SHB 2163.21,
1 nhysical and menta1. illnesses and chemical and alcohol depEndency;
- 2 damestic violence; and a lack of edttcaL-:i.on and job skiils necessary to
. 3 acquire adequate wage jobs in the economy of thE twenL'y-fa.a:st century.
4 The supnort and cortuna.tment of all sectors of the statewide
S com,nuna.ty is critical to the chances of success in Ending izomelessness
6 in Washinyton. Whi].e the prnvi$ian of hcusa.ng and housing-relGted
7 services t,o the horneless s1-iould be administered at the local levEl to
8 best address specific cocSUtlunity needs, the legislatu,r.e also recognizes
9 the need foi the state to p].ay aprimary coorc3inata.ng, supporting, and
10 monitorina role. There must be a clear assigranent p£ responsibilities
11 and a clcar staL-einent of ach:ievabl.e and quzntifi2b:Le goals. Systematic
12 stateyride data collection on hpmelessness in ;dashington must be a
1.3 critical component of such a proqxam enabling the state to wprk wzth
14 local. goveriiments t-la count homeless pErsons and assis-L them in finding
15 hausing.
36 The sy4temai:a.c callection and rigorous evaluation of homeless c€atz,
17 a_ sea.r.ch fo.r, and implementation through adequate r.esource allocation of
18 best practS.ces, aazcl the systematic measurernent of progress toward
].9 a.nterim goals anc€ the ultimate goal of enda.ng hoanelessness are all
~'~ZO necessary components of a sL-ciL-ewide eff.ort to end homE1c-S5[1eSS :i.r1

he key to garden success is the compatibility of a
Tplant to its place in the garden. Compatibility is The Right P'ant
achieved through an understanding of your needs, your site
and careful consideration of plant sefedion. in the Right Place
A good place to start is with an assessment of the fundion
and form you require from each plant or each planting area. Are you trying to biock out a neighboring house?
Oo you need an eye-catching focal point by your front daor? Or do you want to attract wildiffe to your yard?
These are issues of function-what you warit the plant(s) to do. Next, consider the form you need the plants to
take. Tall and skinny? Low and spreading? Evergreen, deciduous or flowering7 Can you block out that
neighbor with a tall tree? Do you have enough width for a tree or do you need to build a trellis for growing a
vine instead? How big a focaf-point can fit by your frant door? Space is an important consideration in
determining fonn. Look far features such as power lines, porch Iights, walls and windows that will constrain the
growth and shape of your plants. VVhen it comes time to choose plants, make sure you chaose carefully based
on the mature size and shape of the plant and the locaflon ln which it must fit.
Once you define what you need in the way of fundion and form, take a careful Using Natives

amount of organic matter.
Terrain: Inegularities in topography (slopes, valleys and rocks) can create signficant variations in local
canditions of temperature, moisture, soi( and light_ For example, valleys will tend to callect more moisture than
a slope, and rocks can provide shade vr additional warmth to an area.
A final consideration in creating a succsssiul garden is the compatibility with neighboring plants. Plants create
shade, affect soil acidity, influence the amount of moisture and nutrienEs avaitable, and can crowd neighboring
plants. Make sure you take these factors into consideration in grouping plants.

Reforestation: ow is the perfect time to preRare for
reforestation projects. Whether you are
establishing a new stand of trees, increasing
F ro m Site P re pa ratio n Nthe number af trees per acre an harvestable
forest land, or supplementing natural regeneration, use
to P I a ntin g G uid e in es the following tips to guide your project.

Site Preparation: The primary consideration in site preparation is to clear
away overgrown brush or remove (arge amounts of dead and down timber from ihe
site. In most cases, this can be done in a 2 to 3 foot diameter circle around each
~ _
seedling to allow sufficient light ta reach ihe new plant and reduce campetition for
water and nutrisnts. VIlhere the site is severely overgrown, herbicides or fire may
be used to clear the site. Important considerations include:
,,s~ •
• Herbicide applications and bumirtg must be done under proper weather and
seasonal conditions.
_ • When using a prescribed bum, obtain proper permits and have fire equipment
and water on hand.
Seedling Selection: Make sure your tree seleciion is suited to your site - climate, soil and
moisture levels. Seedlings for reforestation come in ssveral sizes. The extent of compe'ing vegetation, fevels
of animal browsing arnd need for rapid growth should be considered in choosing among available seedlings.
• 1+1 This designates a seedling grown for one year in a seedbed, then root
pruned and replanted in a nursery bed. The pracess results in a seedling with a
larger cafiper and a more fibrous root system, charactenstics that provide extra
storage of nutrients and greater chance of survival on inferti(e sites with
competition from cther vegetation and browsing animals.
• 2+0 These seedlings are grown in a field far two years and are best m situations
with little campeting vegetation and animal browsing.
• 2+1 Similar to a 1+1, these seedlings are grown in a seedbed for two years
before being root pruned and planted back in a nursery bed far another year.
The result is a larger caliper seeding with a good root mass. These seed►ings
work well ln areas where quick growth is desired or where heavy anim-3 l ~Y .
browsing occurs. ~ '
• Plug (P) These seedlings are grown in narrow, deep cantainers in gro::ni,ous~s
Seedlings af this type are most often used to reduca costs and when iittle time is availabEe to graw ;he
seedlings prior to planting.
• P/ug+1 (P+1) After a year, the plug is removed from the greenhouse container, roat pruned and planted
into a nursery bed. The resu(t is a plug with a slightly larger caliper and more vigorous root system.
Planting: Planting is generally accomp(ished wilh hand tools, particularly in rugged areas. Important
considerations in plartting:
• Don't let seedlings dry out. Keep in cao) storage befor+e planting and roots protectad from sun and wind.
• Try to plant on a wet, rainy day_
• Use tree tubes where necessary to help protect seedlings.
• If you are refaresting a harvested area, replant as soon as possible after harvest before weeds, grasses,
shrubs and competing tree species have time to take hold.
• Recommended spacing for tress is 12 to 20 feet, depending on specific rlimate and site conditions. Ai 15
feet apart, approximaiely 194 trees per acre vrill be needed.

Volunteer Water Quality Monitoring, Watershed
Education, and Habitat Enhancement Programs
NEW Volunteer Habitat Enhancement Program rne w
Spokane County Conssrvation DisVict is excited to add another compliment to its ~
volunteer'tool box": the VOLUNTEER HABITAT ENHANCEMENT PROGRAM.
The program provides funding for the purchase of monitaring equipment and plant
materials for projects that improve, preserve or restore fish and wildlife habitat. The
District has used the funding to purchase four new snvimnmental monitoring kits. •
We have also formed a Voluntear Habitat Enhancement sub-committes to oversee
the implementat[on of planting projects under tfie pragram. Funding for the program
comes from a grant of the Aguatic Lands Enhancement Account (ALEA) made available through the Washington Department of Fish and WiIdlife (WDF1N).
There are several ways to become invo{ved in the new program - from committee
participation to planting trees. Register as an individual volunteer or as a group, such as school groups, scout
troops or a lake association. Property owners interested in implementing an enhancement project on their
property can submit an application to tiie advisory committee for approval. Projects may be supported with
funds to cover 50% of the materials, a 75% administrative SCCD cast-share funding and 100% volunteer
labor.
. _ . , Lake Sampling
- The Eloika Lake Association has been very active with volunteer
monitoring efforts on Elo+ka Lake in Nortfi Spokane County. Their
efforts have included establishing a guage for monitoring lake levels
~and conducting monthly monitoring at key locations. The data
collected is used in an ongoing comparative study to determine water
_ quality trends and identify problem araas for future restorat+on effiorts.
The Association has also provided waterhed educaticn and saught
aUt grar.t :`unding for their work.
Volunteer Webpage and E-Training Website K-~
The SCCD website (http:/lsccd.org) provides information on a wide
f~-
range of resource issues in Spokane County. The VOLUNTEER
SECTION offers a user friendly, interactive expenence in which to
leam abflut volunteer opportunities, view a sampling caiendar, and ~
schedule monthly sampling activities. An on-line certification
propram for training water quality testing volunteers is also available
at http:/hnrww.sccdwater.orgletrain. The site allows visitors to review monitorfng procedures and read articles related to water quality
monitoring. In the near future, volunteers will be able to view interactive maps of sampling locations and the data collected at
each sampling site. '

What's New in Conservation Tillage
0 ne of the Conservation District's goals is to keep the agncultural community informed of the Eatest in
conservation equipment and technology. It is our intention to infoRn and educate, not to promote
one p+ece af equipment over anather. This edition of 'In Tauch' features the CROSS SLOTe
NO-TILL OPENER.
,,T- -
Available since the late 1980's, the CROSS SLOr is just now being
recognized by U.S. farmers as one way to reduoe operational costs without
sacrificing y+elds. The CROSS-SLOr has more than 30 years of university
research and testing behind it, along with over a decade of operational
expenence_ The CROSS SLOT* wan an Equipment Improvement Award at .
the 2005 NaGonal Agricultural Fieldays and was featured at the 9"' Annual *r+ ` ,
Northwest Direct Seed Cropping Systems Conterence and Equipment Show. rl
Features of tfie CROSSSLOT1DNO-TILL OPENER:
§ The patented horizonially banded delivery system places seed and R' ferfilizer on a horizontal shelf away from residue. The system has been scientifically
proven to have superiar seed geRnination and emergence.
§ The serrated disk cuts through most any amount of the sUrface residual
without hair-pinning or binckage. NO NEED TO HARROW OR CHOP HEAVY -
RESIDUE. The system resufts fn excellent seed-soil contaci even in 150 ,
bushel per acra residue. j '
§ The automatic hydrautic down-force controt at eacfi opener allows the CROSS `
SLOr to maintain the required down-force necessary for accurate seeding
dapth, even with vatying sofl hardness and residue loads. § Each opener has 16 inches of travel and is fitted with a nitrogen-cushioned
hydraulic accumulator system to follow rough or rocky ground.
§ Setf-contained air dril{s are available in widttts from 8 to 20 feet, folding frames 30 to
60 feet or you can customize your existing drilUframe using available retrofit kiis.

1- ~ with an assessment of riparian plant communiiies and other biological factors.
Of the 192 miles of shorelines evaluated, 71 percent of the river mi(es were in
proper functioning condition, 27 percent were at risk, and two percent were in
~ - • ~ _
vzry poor or nan-functional condition. The majority of high quality areas for

the cooperation of the adjacent landowner, one of two probtem culverts in
the area is being schetiuled for replacement and rehabilitation beginning in August of 2006. The current
culvert is to be replaced with a botlomless arch culvert in which the stream bottom will be replicated ta mtm;l:
a natural stream. Streamside vegetation wlll be reestablished with the planting of several native species sucfi
as dogwood and alder. Approximately 1,900 pfants will be planted at this site. Installation of the new culvert
and rehabilitation of the stream will provide fish access and habftat to an additional half mile of the strearm
Long-Range P/an The DistricYs long-range plan is complete_ The plan will guide the work of the
SCCD over the next five years. This Is intended to be a dynamic plan, which will continue to evolve as
necessary to ensure the organization remains e#fective and responds to changing needs. Development of the
plan began with a series of work-sessions among staff and the Board of Supervisors. The group assessed the
rzsource problems, took inventory of the available staff assets and funding, and established actions and
priorities for the years ahead. The draft plan was provided to the public far review in early 2005. Staff
compiled the comments received, incorporating them as appropriate into the plan during the DistricYs June
2005 p{anning session. The plan will be available soon in print, on dfsc or through the SCCD website. Some
of the priority actions include:
• Increase public participation an natural resource conservafian eflorls
• Complete ttre revislnn of the soil survey for Spokane County
• Reduce sorl erasion through increased use of conservation tillage arrv c;rect sep- c;,riy 1c0mrqu~.s
• Support the establishment of oilseed and biodiesel industrres in the Spakane region
• Provide streamside lend occupiers with rnformation regardrng riparian conditic,ri ar; d

Wha! a difference a year can make. The pfevious edition of "in Touch' focused on the
statewide drought. Last March, a statewide drought emergency was declared due to a record-low snowpack
and signficantly reduced streamflows acrass the state. As of Febnuary 1, 2006, snowpack and sireamflows
are above normal in most areas of the state. According to the Natural Resource Conseroation Service
(NRCS), snowpacks conditions are now sizable, which should lead to very good summer runoff. "As long as
we can maintain normal conditians through April, we shouid be in for a norrnal streamflow year," says Scott
Pattee, a water suppty specialist with the NRCS.
A newly released report by the Department of Ecology outlines actions taken in response to the 2005 drougnt
and provides recommendations on how the state could improve its ability to respond in the future.
Recommendations indude establishing a state climatology office, entering long-term water right Isases, and
allowing bonding authority to raise money for water emergency responses.
Actions in response to the 2005 drought Include:
• From March through December, the Department of Ecolagy processed 144 requests for ernergency water
rights from water users in Benton, Chelan, Clallam, Columbia, King, Kittitas, Klickitat, Lincoln. Okanogan.
Stevens and Yakima countiss.
• In Octaber 2405, Govemor Gregoire asked the U.S. Department of Agriculture to designate 14
Washington courtties as farm disaster areas due to drought-related damages.
• By the end of December, the s#ate had spent or aarmarked approximately $10 million for public imgation
prajec#s, assistance to municipal water providers, leasing water rights, and salmon and trout protection
• The Departmerrts of Ecology and Community, Trade and Economic Development commissioned a
$100,000 study to determine the economic effects of the 2005 drought and assess how to reduca future
risks. The study is to be compieted by Aug. 31, 2006.
• The official drought emergency declaratfon expired on December 31, 2005

The number of "Violations Reported" on the following chart reflects actual Spokane Valley
Zoning Code violaCsons, plus camplairrts 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 accuralely reflect Code
Compliance's curreM ability ta process and investigate backlog cases.
The follawing chart provides a monthly comparison of the types of Spokane Valley Code
violatlons reported. Violations are reported based on the primary complaint received, rather
than the numbet of additional violations identified on any individual premises. The inves6gation
of a complaint of junk vehicles, for example, June also result in identification of additional
violations such as the accumulation of trash or harboring of fivestock. These are not included in
the summary. A total of 66 complamts were processed in June.

~ Fire Renftment's Grading ClassMcation
-4 Chinves From a 4 to a 3
'Ptte Spokane Valley Fire Department personnel arc very proud and pleased to intorni the
rommunity our classiGcation qiven by the Washinqton Surveyinq & 8atinq Buteiu (WSFLB)
chanqed from a Class 4 to a Clazs 3.
4 The WSflB evaluation of all fire departments and dlstricts in Washington ultimately gives
chNO Mike Thwnpsan each jarisdiction a qradinq classilication thai's oa a scale o! 1- 10. A one represeats the
very best Fue protection that can be provided; ten indscatts that mosl propertq in that area
evould be unprotected by tire services or by services that do not meet minlmam standards. The purpose of the
evaluation and ratinq is to determine a fira inntrance classificatlan that caay be used to develop fire insurance
rates !or both homeowners and businessrs. Some o[ the areas they evaluate a:e:
• Penonnel
Training-How maay houtz are spent traininq and Sre the skills worke<t on applicable?
Are the fue statioas properly aad fnlly staffed?
• Equipment
0 Is the eqnipmrnt modtrn, in a good state o[ matnlenance?
0 Is the equipment appropriate Eo: the strnctures to be pmtected?
Is there enough eqnipment?
• Location-Are the fin stations located so they are within S miles of siructures to be protected and logically
placed so they can respond quickly?
• Water supplias- No tire can be faaqht withont enouqh water. Does the distdct have suf6cieat watei avail-
able through the hydrant system to mect the required fire flow demands? These watcr supplies must also bc
reliable.
The classiftcatiosi of 6re depanments not only ensures that tire rates ceflect the actual protection that a eommunity
can ezpect; it also acts a5 an incentive to improve or maintain the local fue service capabilities. It helps all local
authorities ptan and 6ndget for the typa of improvements that will actually azsist their areas an1 more efficiently
use limited resources.
In 2005, we requested that the WSHB evaluate onr depariment to see i( we had improved our seivices since wr were
last qTaded and were given a Clars 4. Our penonnel sent tham intormatfon on our deputment and a Professional
Eagineer ftom WSRB conducted a site assessment at the end ot Pebrnary 2006. On June 20, 2006, we nceined a let-
tet from WSftB informing the fioard of Fire Commitisioners the new ratinq of Class 1 would be effective September l,
2006.
'fhe Spokane Valley Fire Dµpartment ii committed to the communities we ser:e !o continuou-sl}• impro.e ser.rices
and ptog:ams. We are very appreciative oE the snppart we receive fiom alt of you.

2nd Quarter Report
April training consisted of safety training in Wildland/urban
interface fires. The training included topics such as proiective
clothing, escape routes, wa ter supp lies, power lines, pets, live- ' i ;4-="~
stock and hazardous materials such as propane and pesticides.
Classes were held at Station 8 for our crews on Trench and
~
Confined Space awareness, and a Live Fire training exercise was conducted to provide practice of ladder, hose, extinguish-
ment, and search and rescue techniques. A total of 48 simu-
lated civilians were rescued during the training.
During the month of May crews were assigned Incident
Command training through FEMA, bringing the Fire De-
partment closer to, and on target with rTIMS (National Inci-
dent Management System) compliancy requirements. The
Annual Wildland refzesher training was held near 44`h and
~-Schafer Rd. Crews simulated being assigned to protect the
houses and out buildinqs in the area during a wildfue and
deploying personal fire shelters. This braining was a joint
, • ,.t • venture between SCF'D 8 and SVFD. More pumping, ladder,
and seazch and rescue were practiced for the month.
The EVAP (Emergency Vehicle Accident Prevention) tzaining pzogram was completed in June.
Anticipating a hot summer, heat related saiety training was provided. June 21, 22, and 23,
SVFD participated in the 2nd annual International FireSghter Safety Stand Down. All czews
weze ordered to suspend their zegular duties except for emergency response and focus their
time on safery issues plaguing the fire service. The Stand Down was started last June to hring
awazeness to the causes of fuefighter fatalities. In 2005, 106 firefighters died in the line of dury
in the United States alone. The IAFC (International Association of Fire Chieis) and the IAFF
(International Association of Fircfighters) saonsored the event.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: July 25, 2006
Item: Check all that apply: El consenR ❑ ald business ❑ nEw business ❑public nearing
-X] information 0 admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Information (continued): Update on the Uniform Development Code
(UDC) schedule and public participation.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70, VVAC 365-195-800 et seq.
PREVIOUS COUNCIUCOMMISSION
ACTION TAKEN: The 2006-2026 Comprehensive Plan was adopted on April 25, 2006
and effective on May 10, 2006. Council received information
concerning the proposed process on Ju1y 11, 2006.
BACKGROUND:
The City has one year to adopt rzgulations implementing the Comprehensive Plan. These
regulations will be incorporated into the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code, including a
wide range of regulations, some of which the City Council has seen in the past. These
regulations are subject to the same requirements for early, continuous and collaborative public
participation as the Comprehensive Plan.
The drafit Coiliprehensive Plan Implementation Matrix distributed earlier identil'ies all policies
included in the 2006-2026 Comprehensive Plan, some of which will require development
- regulations and some of which do not. Proposed regulations will be included in the proposed
Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code (SVUDC) and include Titles 17-25 of the Spolcane
Valley Municipal Code. 'rne SVUDC will address WAC 365-195-805(1), (2) and (3). The
lmplementation Matrix will be supplemented by the 2006-2007 SVUDC Work Matrrx which will
outline a schedule for discussion of various chapfers and topics before both Planning
Commission an1 City Council, as well as addressing the requirements of suhsectian (4)
concerning public participation.
Although the chapters of each title are extremely importan#, some are of greater interest to
members af the public than others, as was the case with The Comprehensive Plan. In
summary, thE titles are as follotivs:
Title 17 General Provisions
Title 18 Adrninistration
Title 19 Zoning Regulations
Title 20 Subdivision Regulations
Title 21 Environmental Confrols
Title 22 Design & Developmer~t Standarcls
Title 23 Reserved
Tifle 24 Building Regulations
Title 25 Developer Contributions
Pursuant to WAC 365-195-805(4) and the adopted Public Participation Guidelines, and to
economize on the number of ineetings for both the Planning Commission, sQaff and members of
the public, the following is proposed:
1. Yhe Planning Comrnission "Advance Agenda" avill be published on the web and e-mailed
to all persons on the lists of in#erested persons iden}ified during fhe development of the
Comprehensive Plan.
. .
Information Report
Planned Unit Developmen#s
Page 2 of 2
2. Staff will prepare a draft of each title for public review prior to any discussion at the .
Planning Commission. The draft will have received comprehensive review by all city
departments, including the City Attorney.
3. Planning Commission will discuss each Title during at least two public meetings prior to
any public hearing. Planning Commission will accept written comments and open the
discussion to public comment during these meetings.
4. Recommendations of the Planning Commission vdill be posted on the City's web-site in
advance of each meeting, and prior to any public hearing. Planning Comrnission may
continue public hearings to subsequent meetings if necessary.
5. The recommendations of the Planning Commission will be forwarded to City Council with
a minority report, if appropriate.
6. The public hearing for a number of titles may be held on the same day.
The proposed advance agenda includes a Planning Commission meeting on August 31, 2006
(5`h Thursday) which inctudes a discussion on Title 21 Environmental Controls. This meeting is
a substitute for the September 14, 2006, meeting which we has been pre-empted for the
Sprague/Appleway Sub-area Plan Cominunity meeting.
As tidy as the schedule appears now, some slippage should be expected, particularly during
consideration of predictably hot topics such as:
19.40 Non-conforming Uses
19.110 Residential accessory uses in detached structures
22.40 Height & Area Standards for zoning designations
22.60 Off-street parking & loading
22.80 Landscaping
Development Code issues which have not been scheduled fhe sign regulations, which are on-
going. Overlay designation to be established along the Sprague/Appleway corridor have been
defierred pending completion of sub-area plan. The Sprague/Appleway Sub-area Plan is likely
to propose some type of "form-based zoning". It will be necessary to schedule some time for
the Council and Planning Commission to review the principles of this type of zoning.
1'his update includes the 2006-2007 SVUDC Work Matrix schEduling and the Planning
Cornmission Advance Agenda.
All proposed implementing regulations must be submitted to the Community Trade & Economic
Development Department (CTED) not less than sixty days prior to final adoption by the City
Council. All regulations also require a threshold detzrmination under the State Environmental
Policy Act (SEPA) as a non-project action.
OPTIONS: Schedule for further discussion or take no action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None required.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.

Fall levy lid override election
After receivi,ng direetion at thc June Boa rd of 'C'rustees mecting ta prviceed with planning for a

other rel.ated documetlts, commullicalions specialist Beth Gillespie prcpared a public educal-ion
p1an, and staff began cvark on specifics of potential service enhancements.
Vnter apprnval of the nltasurc to retain the District's property tax levy ratie at 50e per $1,000 af -i.ssessed valuation in 2007 would accomplish the fol.l.o-,vi.ng:
■ Provide enhancements i.n cu.rrent serviees, including a further increase u1 liUru-y hours,
addieional library n-ialerials, and faster Inteizlct acccss.
■ Assure that adcquate revenue is available to ma.i.nhain currenr and increased service levels
over the nexl• three to four years.
• Lncrease the operating reserve to a level that would pr.ovide su.Eficient cash flow between
propertiy tax collecl7ons ta eliminate the need for short-ternl borrowing.
• Cncrease the caPital reserve fund to allow for futurc relocation of IT and/or future purchase
of new library sites.
This would be possible because of the esrianated 15°o increase ui SCLD's assessEd valuation
repQrted un early june by the Cnunty Assessor's Office. 4ltithout nn overricle, our levy rate wiJl
drop an estimated 6a per $1,000, to about 444z. Mainkaini.ng it at 50e i.n 2007 cvould create a lugher
base on which ln calculate future levy liinits, allowulg implenlent3tion oE the above.
Further details aUout service EnhancemEnts will be availaUlc ar the July Boara m~eting.
Spakanc Valley area phone survey
'7'lie randain sample custoniei• telephQne survey regarding a new Spokane Va11Ey Library took
placc during Junc under the ciircetion af StratEgic Research A.ssaciatcs, as tivith the 2004 survey.
The sample size was 400, with respondents proportional to the branc.h of registrakion, age, ancl
gender of customers. 'C'he survey of Spoka.ne Valley area general population will begin i.n July.
The resul~,s are i.nleresting, not totally sur.prisi.ng, and mild(y encouraging, although they pou-il out
a lot of work to be done. Here are three of the more interesting finciings:
• rlften cearulg the entirc proposal, includulg thc cast, 46% nf respUnd-ents favorcd it anci 35%
opposed it. I-Iowever., :1.9 rower.e neutral or undecided. I.f the 19% moved Yo the supportive
cAlumn, we're over the 60°,b required-but custonlers aren't necessarily reflective of d1e entire
LCFA pqpulation.
■ VUters were abqut three times rnore liI:ely tllan non-voters tU suppQrt the propU5a1.
• 76% said ihey were "bery satisfied" with Spokane Valley Library and another 21% were
"lnoderately satisfied." 97°/p sahsfaction is great, but it doesn't translate to a compelling
interESt in upgrading thc builcling.
Annexation-related updates
Liberty Lakc: I learned that because the effective date of the city's recent annexadon was aftEr the
stahitory deadlinc for taxing district boundary changes to be effective for the following year,
annexation area properry ocvners will pay SCLD taxes through 2007. That means we should
continue to provide library services through 2007 rather than ending services on December 31.
Narth Division: The City oE Spokane's proposed Narth Divisiqn annexatipn is wpTlClllg 1tS w1y
t'1lroug'h the plaltni.ng com,Tnission process. Deputy 1\4ayor Jack I..ynch said thafi with the
uncertainty regarding Bou_ndary SZeview Board aclion regard_ing the size of tlie area, he wa.r.lts t•o
postpone further .vork on the agreement until the BRB process is completed rather than before.
Moran Prairie annexation mitigation lgreement: WE recciveci a check fram the City of 5pokane
in thc full iur►aunt of the 2006 miHgation payment-: $137,028.94. Also, a lctter of uncierstancling
