1. 1'eace Pole I'roiect - Members of Girl Scout'I'rooo 92
Airnee Goold and Amanda Fdens gave thcir PowerPoint pre.sentat.ion, expl.iining that the .L'eace Pole is a
projec[ they are Nvorking on as tl7ey Nvark tnward fiilfillment of requirements to achieve theic Gold Award
(which is the Girls Scout's highest award). They mentioiacd that the pole, which would be approximately
eight feet tall; %vould include the rnessage "May Yeace Prevail an F.arth" in up to eight different
lanDuages, such as Fnglish, Spanish, Sign Language, Russian; LatinlArabic, ete at the C;ouncil'; clirection,
They also stafed chat ttiere is currently a pcace pole in Spqkane's Ilqguan E'cace Park, which has been in
plaee for approxim..it:ely two years with no maintenance necessa.ry thus f1r. They mentioried lhey feel the
best place f'or this pronosed polc is n41rabeau Pdrk as it is a popular park where man}' CORlI11U[lliy evcnLS
are he:ld, and has limited residential areas nearby thereby keeping vandalism at a minimum. They also
suggested placing the pole near an already existing struclure, or perhaps tilong the trail movir~g to the
waterfalf; or alonj the watorfall arca. They repor-eed the t.otal cost is approximately $1,000; and ihat thcy
would appreciate City Council financial assistance, but will also solicit lacal busiilesses as sponsors, and
%vill seek assistance fi-om the Chamber of Commerce. Council suggested tlie Ciirl Scouts also disc_tlss this
project with Parks ancl Recreation Director Jackson concerning maintenance for these typcs of strur.tures.
'Mayor Wilhite commendec] the girls for their wark; and said Council Nvill take the proposal uncler
consideratiQn.

feels there wAUId be no benefit to the coinmunity if'that figwe were lowered now resulting in break down

Foundational Concepts for the Spokane River TMDL Managed Implementation Plan June 30, 2006
The Spokane River does not have enough dissolved oxygen (DO) during the months of
April through October to meet current Water Quality Standards. The best available
science shows that excess phosphorus is the main cause of this problem. There is
agreement among those who petitioned Ecology in 2004, other interested parties and
Ecology that actions are needed as soon as possible to improve the River's condition,
and, by assuring treatment capacity for septic tank discharges, further protect the
quality of the Spokane Valley - Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer. Low dissolved oxygen also
results from carbonaceous biochemical oxygen demand (CBOD) and ammonia. For the
purpose of implementing the Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TN1DL, it is assumed
that efforts to control phosphorus will also serve to control CBOD and ammonia.
Reducing significant amounts of phosphorus in the River during the April-October
season and achieving Water Quality Standards for dissolved oxygen are the goals of
the Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL Managed Implementation Plan (MIP).
In the October 2004 Draft Total fVlaximum Daily Load fo Resfore and Maintain Dissolved
Oxygen in the Spokane River and Lake Spokane (Long Lake), Ecology estimated a
reduction target of approximately 208 pounds/day of phosphorus from point sources,
non-point sources and other controllable sources. Most of this reduction is anticipated to come from improvements in point source wastewater treatment technology located . between the Idaho state line and the Lake Spokane Dam.
The best available science conclusively demonstrates significant phosphorus reductions
will improve DO in the River and Lake Spokane. How the River will respond to
significant phosphorus reductions, the full extent of the reductions necessary to alleviate
DO deficiencies, and the phosphorus~reductions possible over the next 20 years are not
precisely clear at this time. Hence, an aggressive, managed approach that removes
phosphorus from a variety of sourcesi through a variety of inethods and monitors and
assesses the impacts on DO over the next 20 years is a reasonable way to maximize
the effectiveness of the sizable investments necessary to improve the River.
Capsule Summary of Approach
Currently there is not well-established technology that can reliably treat a variety of
wastewater discharges and achieve. the River phosphorus levels required to improve
DO sufficiently to meet Water Quality Standards. There is, however, technology that
significantly reduces phosphorus from effluent and that can bring current discharges
much closer to the levels required by Water Quality Standards. The Spokane River
Collaboration refers to the difference between what technology improvements can
achieve and the TMDL levels to meet Water Quality Standards as "the Delta."
The MIP provides reasonable assurance that Water Quality Standards can be achieved -
during the first ten years of MIP effort by installing the most effective feasible . _;V21 1
phosphorus removal treatment technology and completing a planned and scheduled
group of actions aimed at eliminating the Delta. The foundational concepts described
here will begin guiding TMDL implementation when accepted by Ecology and affected
National Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES) permit holders.
While phosphorus reductions from technology improvements and other actions can be
estimated, their true impact on DO requires actual implementation experiencs and
resultant measurement of DO levels in the River and Lake Spokane. The first ten years
of MIP efforts need to be in place and operational prior to their consequences being fully
assessed. A thorough assessment after the 10`h year of the MIP will provide the
information necessary to guide ac4ions for a second ten year MIP period. These second
period actions will include continuation of successful actions conducted in the first 10
years, such as operation of the treatment technology and other permanent phosphorous
reduction efforts, and they could include new actions such as consideration of river
oxygenation andlor reconsideration of Water Quality Standards applied to the River and
Lake Spokane. The MIP's actions necessary to eliminate an NPDES permit holder's
Delta will be enforceable over the 20 year life of the IVIIP and the TMpL phosphorous
waste load allocation will become enforceable requirements at the end of the 20 years
covered by the MIP.
During the MIP term, the NPDES permits applicable to individual dischargers will
include interim limits and other requirements as described below in the section titled
~ "NPDES Permit Cycle."
Ecology Will Complete the Dissolved Oxygen TMDL Consistent with
the Foundational Concepts
The foundational concepts in this document are the result of substantial deliberation by
the Spokane River Collaboration. This effort placed completion of the Draft TMDL "on
hold" prior to its being made final and submitted to the Environmental Protection Agency
for review. Ecology will re=draft the Draft Spokane River Dissolved Oxygen TMDL to
include a MIP consistent with the principles described here. The re-draft will be subject
to the same public review process and administrative procedures used for the earlier
Draft TMDL. As well, Ecology will continue to work on a government-to-government
basis with the Spokane Tribe of Indians to ensure compliance with downstream Tribal
water quality standards.
Waste Load Allocation Targets
A TMDL requires waste load allocations (WLA) for the affected NPDES permit holders.
These targets, expressed in concentrations in the draft TMDL, will be slightly revised in
the re-drafted TMDL to reflect upstream permitting in Idaho and an April-October rather
than June-October critical period (see the boxed table on page 24, Draft Total Maximum
Dailv Load to Restore and Maintain Dissolved Oxuqen in the Sqokane River and Lake
Spokane, October 2004). The total phosphorus concentrations, as allocations in the
TMDL rounded to the nearest microgram will remain 10pg/l.
vz1 2
In the MIP, however, the 10 ug/l total phosphorus targets will be expressed as pounds ,
of phosphorus discharge in the River based on the discharge volume estimates
established through the Collaboration. The translation from concentration to pounds of phosphorus forms the basis for measuring success in meeting each phosphorus waste
load allocation target under the MIP. Success in meeting the pounds of phosphorus
target will be achieved by the installation of the most effective feasible phosphorus
removal treatment technology and implementation of other phosphorus reduction
, actions that to4ether result in the net pounds of phosphorus discharged to the River by
the dischargers being equal to or less than the target pounds. The following table
. shows the pounds per day phosphorus targets for each Washington State NPDES
permit holder as they will be expressed in the MIP based on projected flows for 2017
and 2027 using estimates produced through the Spokane River TMDL Collaboration_

° MIP achieves Waste Load Allocation by 2027
The "(Ibs/day)" numbers listed above will be used as the target pounds to determine
each NPDES permit holder's Delta. An NPDES permit holder's Delta is the actual
pounds of phosphorus discharged per day minus the target pounds. NPDES permit
limits will be based on a seasonal average with appropriate daily, weekly, and monthly
limits that recognize the uncertainties and start-up complexities of new treatment
technology.
The 2017 phosphorus targets are goals during the first ten years of the MIP. These
phosphorus targets will not be binding during the first ten years so as to allow
assessment of the beneficial impact on DO from all MIP-related technology improvements and phosphorus reduction actions initiated during this time, and to allow
vz1 3
measurement of the actual Delta reduction by the dischargers based on experience. By
the end of the 20th year, NPDES permit holders are required to be in compliance with
the phosphorus WLA in the right hand column of the chart above.
Once an NPDES permit holder demonstrates reliable ability to continually meet its
target, either by treatment technology or technology combined with actions to eliminate
the Delta, that permit holder will have met its responsibilities for meeting waste load
allocations as expressed in either the MIP or the TMDL.
Aggressive efforts, initiated as quickly as possible, to reach the targets during the first
ten year period of the MIP are required. These efforts will include both phosphorous
removing treatment technology upgrades and a suite of other phosphorus reducing
actions from the list of "target pursuit actions" described below.
Some aggressive programs to meet phosphorus targets may be conducted jointly by
several dischargers. These efforts need to result in assignment of reduced pounds of
phosphorus to individual dischargers because dischargers must meet individual targets.
A trading program of dischargers' demonstrated surplus phosphorus may be
implemented consistent with EPA guidelines pending Ecology`s verification of any
surplus phosphorus offset pounds.
As part of the implementation of the MIP, each National Pollution Discharge Elimination
System permit holder in Washington State covered by the Spokane River Dissolved
~ Oxygen 7MDL will, in accord with the section titled "Schedule of Activities," prepare a
~ technology selection protocol and an Engineering Report with construction schedule for
the treatment technology improvements the permit holder intends to install. The permit
holder will also prepare a Delta elimination plan with a schedule of target pursuit actions
(see details below) that, in combination with the technology improvements, provide
reasonable assurance the April-October phosphorus target will be achieved in the first
10 years of the MIP. The vvays these targets and associated requirements will be
reflected in each NPDES permit is explained in the section below titled "NPDES Permit
Cycle."
Target Pursuit Actions Target pursuit actions are the steps that are either required or available for NPDES
permit holders to both upgrade their technology and eliminate their Delta within the first
10 years of the MIP in order to provide reasonable assurance of ineeting targets. The
target pursuit actions may be modified as a result of the 10`h Year Assessment.
Dischargers without a Delta do not need to perform target pursuit actions for Delta
elimination.
Technology selection protocols and Delta-eliminating target pursuit actions will both be
initiated as soon as possible, and Delta-eliminating actions will not be deferred until
technology improvements are actually selected and installed.
Enforceable terms of each NPDES permit will include the obligation to meet the interim
_.or final effluent limit and the obligation to complete implementation of the target pursuit
vz1 4
actions, although the details of the target pursuit actions may be set forth in a separate ,
administrative order.
After the 10t'' year of implementation, a thorough review (see the section titled °Tenth
YearAssessment') will be conducted to determine what, if any, additional phosphorus
reduction actions are necessary, what actions should be continued or discontinued,
and/or whether any changes to the phosphorus reduction goal in the TMDL or the Water
Quality Standards for DO in the River and Lake Spokane are warranted. By the end of
the 201h year of the MIP, NPDES permit holders are required to be in compliance with
the then current TMDL phosphorus waste load allocations (the targets may have been
modified as a result of the Tenth Year Assessment) to assure applicable Water Quality
Standards are being met. .
ReQUired Actions: Re4uired tarqet pursuit actions for each NPDES qermit holder with
a Delta are as follows:
e Technology Selection Protocol: NPDES permit holders will prepare, and
submit to Ecology for approval, a comprehensive technology selection
protocol for choosing the most effective feasible technology for seasonally
removing phosphorus from their effluent with an objective of achieving a
discharge with seasonal average 50Ng/l phosphorus or lower. If pilot testing
is a part of the protocol, there will be appropriate provisions for quality
assurance and control. The protocol will include a preliminary schedule for
construction of the treatment technblogy. • Delta Elimination Plan: In addition to the technology selection protocol,
NPDES permit holders will also prepare and submit for Ecology's approval a
Delta elimination plan and schedule for other phosphorus removal actions
such as conservation, effluent re-use, source control through support of
regional phosphorus reduction efforts (such as limiting use of fertilizers and
dishwasher detergents), and supporting regional non-point source control
efforts to be established. The plan, in combination with the phosphorus
reduction from technology, will provide reasonable assurance of ineeting the
permit holder's target in ten years.
• Expeditious Decision: Ecology will expeditiously review and decide on the
proposed technology selection protocol, preliminary construction schedule .
and Delta elimination actions.
o Engineering Report: After a permit holder implements the technology
selection protocol, the permit holder will prepare, and submit to Ecology for
approval, an Engineering Report concerning the chosen technology, including
any updates to the construction schedule. The Engineering Report will (if
necessary) be accompanied by amendments to the schedule and substance
of the target pursuit actions so that in combination with the Engineering
Report on expected technology performance, there is reasonable assurance .
vz1 5
of ineeting the target in ten years. Ecology will expeditiously review and
decide on these submittals.
• lnterim Limits: When new treatment technology is installed, Ecology will set
interim phosphorus permit limits based on the engineering reports. It is
recognized that, because modern phosphorus removal technology is
. challenging, achieving normal, and routine operation may require two years,
assuming average seasonal conditions (temperature and flow) during both
years. During this period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their
effects on compliance with interim discharge limits.
• Final Limits: Final limits applicable during the remaining term of the MIP will
be set based on the actual performance of the technology installed and
operated at optimum reliable efficiency (see the section titled "NPDES Perrnit
Cycle").
o lnvestment Stability: 7he investment in phosphorus removal technology is
recognized by Ecology as having a 20-year life, and no significant
modifications or replacements of phosphorus removal facilities will be
required during the term of the MIP. Modifications to installed technology that
best available data indicate would enhance phosphorus removal performance
and are efficient and cost-effective may be required.
~ • Conservation: Public NPDES permit holders, in cooperation with water
purveyors, will as soon as possible develop individual and regional programs
that reduce flows by funding "°LOTT-style" indoor conservation efforts that
target 20% water conservation per household in older urban areas and 10%
water conservation per household in newer (post 1992) urban areas. These
programs will have local ordinances, avoided cost investment principles and
per connection expenditures similar to the LOTT program. To the extent
these actions are demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river,
they will be recognized as contributing toward achieving phosphorus waste
load targets.
e Class A Eff/ueni: Each publicly owned treatment plant covered by the
Spokane DO TMDL will, through their technology updates, produce effluent
meeting the State of Washington Class A reclaimed water quality standards in
place when the MIP takes effect.
Available Actions: The followina tarQet pursuit actions are not reauired of everv
NPDES permit holder with a Delta. The non-ooint source aroqram. however. needs to
have sufficient qarticioation to achieve the TMDL-reauired phosqhorus reduction.
• Reclaimed Water: Publicly owned dischargers may seek to re-use the
Class A reclaimed water they produce as result of technology improvements.
All reasonable efforts to re-use and/or recharge the aquifer rather than
directly discharging it to the River, particularly in the April-October timeframe,
va1 6
are strongly encouraged consistent with circumstances and opportunities.
Ecology will work with each NPDES permit holder and the Washington State ~ Department of Heaith to prepare approvable permits that enable timely and successful implementation of these opportunities. Specifically, Ecology
commits to the following:
■ Ecology will assist in permitting re-use efforts by actively
• coordinating state permitting with the Washington State Department
of Health. .
■ Ecology will assist dischargers proposing re-use target pursuit
actions in assessing whether any water rights/quality impairments
might occur and how any impairment might be addressed.
• Any revisions of Washington State in Class A reclaimed water
guidelines or standards in place when the MIP takes effect will
serve as a basis for requesting Ecology's reconsideration of an
NPDES permit holder's approved target pursuit action plan that
relies on re-use target pursuit actions envisioned prior to the
revisions.
■ To the extent these water re-use actions are demonstrated as
reducing phosphorus loading to the river, they will be recognized as
contributing toward achieving phosphorus waste load targets. Regional Phosphorus Reduction Programs: Privately owned treatment plants may participate with other NPDES permit holders in regional
phosphorus reduction programs, such as conservation (see above) and non-
point source control (see below). To the extent these actions are
demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river, they will be
recognized as contributing toward achieving phosphorus waste load targets.
• Bio-available Phosphorus: NPDES permit holders may seek to prove to
Ecology that a certain stable fraction of their phosphorus discharge is not bio-
available in the River environment for a time sufficient to consider it not
reactive and not a nutrient source. If Ecology agrees, the pounds of
phosphorus that are not bio-available will be recognized as contributing
toward achieving the total phosphorus waste load target.
• Source Contro/ Programs: To the extent that source control actions to limit
phosphorus inputs through regulation of phosphorus-containing products and
through enforced phosphorus-limiting pre-treatment ordinances are
demonstrated as reducing phosphorus loading to the river, they will be
recognized as contributing toward achieving dischargers' phosphorus waste
Ioad targets.
v21 7
1 • Regional Non-Point Source Reduction Program: Participating NPDES
permit holders and Ecology will jointly fund and implement a regional non-
point source (NPS) phosphorus reduction program at $2 million/year. The
. program will begin in the second year of the MIP following completion of an
initial study (50% funded by Ecology) to determine the best opportunities for
non-point phosphorus reductions.
The regional non-point source program will be designed to achieve the NPS
phosphorus reduction identified in the TMDL and to contribute to the Delta
reduction efforts of the participants, as necessary. If sufficient reduction in
NPS phosphorus as determined by the 10'h Year Assessment has not yet
been achieved, the jointly funded and implemented regional NPS program will
continue for the second 10 years of the MIP.
The program will be closely managed by the oversight and coordination group
described below, and it will be monitored to routinely identify cost-effective
strategies and verify actual phosphorus reductions. Resources could be
shifted to other more effective actions for phvsphorus reduction by mutual
agreement with Ecology. Successful phosphorus-reducing actions funded by
the NPDES permit holders through the NPS program will be recognized as
contributing toward achieving dischargers' phosphorus waste load targets.
• Septic Tank Elimination Program: Spokane County may submit to Ecology ,
~ information and calculations demonstrating the phosphorus removal impact
on the Spokane River and Lake Spokane of its Septic Tank Elimination
Program. Pending Ecology's expeditious review and decision regarding the
information and calculations, the County may, if Ecology approves, use the
pounds of phosphorus prevented from reaching the River and Lake SpoScane
through septic tank elimination as part of any needed offsets for the County's
new treatment plant (see the section titled "New County TrEatment Planf').
Oversiqht and Coordination: The above tarvet pursuit actions reauire careful
monitorinq and accountina to assure qenuine phosphorus reductions and qroper Delta
reduction recoanition. The followina will occur:
• Ecology and the dischargers will immediately collaborate to develop an
oversight and coordination group. The intent is to form a collaborative group
to oversee and coordinate the required regional actions including, but not
limited to, the NPS, monitoring, modeling, reporting and public outreach
programs, however the participating entities retain their individual authorities.
Ecology and the dischargers will share in the administrative cost of this group.
• The oversight and coordination group, in cooperation with Ecology, will
manage the non-point source program described above.
o The oversight and coordination group will implement a monitoring and
research program for the River to routinely track and evaluate the amount of
vz1 8
phasphorus removal, the irnpact of phasphorus reductions and associated
improvements on dissolved oxygeri levels. Also, there will be additiorral . .
s#udies such as those concerning secfiment oxygen demand, the efFicacy of -
river aerationlaxygenation, and bia-availabilify af phosphorus in cfischaeges
and other areas that advance the understanding of and refine the sGience

New Spokarre Coun#y Treatmerrt Plarr#
A new Spokane County treatrr3ent plant will be constructed to meet +ts phosphorus
allocation target through a corribination o# advanced treatrnent and other offsets that are
in place and accepted by EcoEagy as effective as the plant begins routine, normal (i,e.,
beyand shakedown or start up) operations. As with the engineering reports and target
pursuit action plans and schecfules for NPDES permit holdees, the County will submit to
Ecalogy for approval the County's engineering repar# for the plant showing how the
most effectEVe, feasible pFrosphorus rernoval technology has been selected, and how
the a#fsets will be timely developed. At the time the plan# begins norrnal, rautine
' operations, it is expected the combEnatian of offse# actipns and the piant's treatmen# of
water to be discharged in the River will #agetfner ach€eve cornpliance with 10WglI
phvsphorus.
Consistent with NPDES requirements, the pIant wili be permitted by Ecology in order to
enable rapid conversion of septic systerns to sewers consistent wi#h the approved septic
tank elimination program prior to the compietion of tfne Coun#y plant. The County will
' construct the plant wi#hin the fi rst 6 years of the M lP as the Caunty's affsets from the
' target pursuit'actions are beirig developed and made operative. I# is recognized that .
; any phasphorous reduc#ion activns selected by the County tfnat rely an the pfan#
vzt g
achieving normal, routine operation for their full implementation (such as completing
septic tank hookups and/or water re-use) can still contribute to the County's offsets. It is
further recognized that, because modern phosphorus removal technology is
challenging, achieving normal, and routine operation may require two years, assuming
average seasonal conditions (temperature and flow) during both years. During this
period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their effects on compliance with
interim discharge limits.
The County will also develop a comprehensive program for reclaimed water production,
re-use and aquifer recharge of effluent. This re-use program will be subject to the same
conditions described for other re-use target pursuit action plans described above.
9e Year Assessment
Following the 10"' year of the MIP there will be a major assessment of the plan's impact.
A collaborative process will be used to make determinations about the relevant actions
appropriate for the second 10 years of the MIP. The assessment will be a data-based,
objective review designed to assess:
• The amount of phosphorous removed from the River by the actions taken to date
compared to phosphorus reduction targets.
• The River response to those reductions and associated changes in DO.
• The necessity, if any, for further reductions in phosphorous, CBOD and ammonia l
in order to achieve Water Quality Standards for DO.
• The likelihood of further phosphorous reductions occurring in the next 10 years of
the MIP if the actions begun in the first 10 years were continued.
• The set of actions that could be initiated in the next 10 years of the MIP that
would more likely than not result in further phosphorous reductions, if necessary,
to achieve DO Water Quality Standards for Lake Spokane.
• The reasonableness of pursuing these actions andlor the reasonableness of
pursuing other strategies such as Lake Spokane oxygenation andlor the
appropriateness of modifying DO Water Quality Standards if continuing existing
or implementing additional phosphorous removal strategies will more likely than
not fail to improve DO sufficiently to meet existing DO Water Quality Standards.
Particular attention will be given to Lake Spokane's hypolimnion (lowest) layer
where DO levels may be least likely to be significantly improved by upstream
phosphorus reduction.
• Data and actions will be carefully reviewed to determine whether technology
improvements and target pursuit actions can result in the hypolimnian meeting
DO Water Quality Standards, whether lake oxygenation or other techniques may
vzi 10
be effective in improving DO and/or whether modified Water Quality Standards
for this layer are appropriate.
These decisions will be made consistent with the MIP Decision Diagram below.

This assessment will occur following the 10th year of the MIP. The assessment may
need to be extended if the timing of the installation of treatment technology has not
resulted in operation for a long enough time to produce sufficient data about river
conditions and DO response. If this occurs, the assessment would not be completed
until there has been at least 3 years of operation of all treatment technology upgrades
by all dischargers.
NPDES Permit Cycle
Four 5-year NPDES permit cycles are expected to be covered under the MIP.
Currently, all four existing NPDES permits are under administrative extensions. Each of
the existing NPDES permits will be handled somewhat differently due to varying
conditions associated with each discharge.
In general, the NPDES permits will follow this sequence:
.
The permit is issued with effluent limits adjusted based
on performance history. The permit will state the goal
of achieving an equivalent of an effluent phosphorus
concentration of 10Ng/l phosphorus by the end of the
following permit cycle (i.e., in 10 years) through a
combination of phosphorus treatment technology and
target pursuit actions. Enforceable terms of each
I 2007 - 2011 NPDES permit will include the obligation to meet the
effluent limit and the obligation to start, continue, andlor
complete the target pursuit actions. The details of the
target pursuit actions may be set forth in a separate
administrative order. The permit, depending on date of
issue, may also specify dates for submitting a
technology selection protocol and an Engineering
Report with an estimated construction schedule, all as
described in the section titled "Target Pursuit Actions.°
vz 1 12
.
The permit is issued with interim effluent limits taking
effect with the completion of technology upgrades.
Implementation of the phosphorus target pursuit actions
to reduce the Delta is continued during this permit cycle.
The permit will state the goal of achieving an equivalent
of an effluent phosphorus concentration of 10Ng/l
phosphorus by the end of the permit cycle (i.e., in 5
years) through a combination of phosphorus treatment
technology and target pursuit actions. As in the first
Permit Cycle, enforceable terms of the NPDES permit
will include the obligation to meet the effluent limit and
the obligation to continue and/or complete the target
pursuit actions. The details of the target pursuit actions
11 2012 - 2016 may be set forth in a separate administrative order. The
interim limits will be based on the Engineering Report
that provides Ecology with reasonable assurance that
an equivalent of an effluent phosphorus concentration
of 10Ng/l phosphorus will be achieved by the end of the
permit cycle. It is recognized that, because modem
phosphorus removal technology is challenging,
achieving normal and routine operation may require two
years, assuming average seasonal conditions
(temperature and flow) during both years. During this
period, Ecology will recognize these conditions and their
effects on complianoe with interim discharge limits.
Operational characteristics for the newly installed
technology will be assessed so that final limits can be
established.
The permit is i5sued with final efFluent limits based on
observed operational characteristics. The permit will
reflect results of the 10'" Year Assessment. The permit
will state the goal of achieving an equivalent of an
effluent phosphorus concentration of 10Ng/l phosphorus
II I 2017 - 2021 through a combination of phosphorus treatment
technology and target pursuit actions. As in the first
Permit Cycle, enforceable terms of the NPDES per►nit
will include the obligation to meet the effluent limit and
the obligation to continue and/or complete the target
pursuit actions. The details of the target pursuit actions
may be set forth in a separate administrative order.
The permit is issued with established final effluent limits
that, in combination with completed and continuing
IV 2022 - 2026 target pursuit actions, meet the final waste load
allocations since they will be enforceable at the end of
the MIP.
A Gantt chart version of the anticipated permit cycles for each existing NPDES permit
holder plus the permit cycle for Spokane County is included for illustrative purposes as
Attachment A.

Schedule of Acfivities to lnitiate the M/P
Based on and consistent with the principles and foundational concepts in this
Agreement, several tasks need to be completed as the Spokane River TMDL and
aocompanying MIP are made final.
These actions include the following:
• Re-drafting of the TMDL, completion of the MIP by Ecology, and submittal of the
final TMDL to EPA - target date 1/1/2007
• Subrnittal to Ecology of technology selection protocols, Delta elimination plans
and treatment technology implementation schedule by each discharger - target
date 1/1/2007
• Creation of the oversight and coordination structure necessary to implement the
actions that will be conducted on a regional scale such as the operation of the
NPS and monitoring programs - target date 1I1/2007
Assuming the Foundational Concepts in this paper become an Agreement in
Principle that is endorsed by Ecology and the dischargers this summer, and the
TMDL is completed by Ecology and approved by EPA, it appears likely the first
permitting sequence and the start of the MIP's first ten year period could begin in
early 2007. Ecology and the dischargers agree that local elected officials in the
Spokane area should share the lead with Ecology in developing the appropriate
oversight and coordination structure for overseeing the implementation of the MIP
and securing the necessary inter-agency agreements and funding commitments
sufficient to support it.
Applying the Foundational Concepts, the Agreement in Principle does not require
any party to engage in any future action or make any subsequent decision in
violation of established rules and procedures for engaging in such actions or making
such decisions. Nothing in this document changes any pariy's authorities or
responsibilities under law or regulation. The parties embracing this Agreement
recognize and support that this path forward is the appropriate way to establish the
legally sufficient framework for completing the Spokane River DO TMDL and to
quickty begin the important work of improving the heafth of the Spokane River. Al)
parties agree to conduct themselves over the next months and years consistent with
these Foundational Concepts and resulting Agreement in Principle so that this can
be successfully and efficiently accomplished.

~ Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: Septernber 5, 2006 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent old business x❑ nevo business ❑ public hearing
❑ infarmation ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Local Redevelopment Authority (LRA)
regarding the Walker Army Reserve Center declared surplus property by the Army.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Federal statutes and regulations regarding base closure and
federal property disposal/reuse authorities.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council previously heard presentations and
discussions on April 18, July 18, August 8 and August 22 regarding the impending closure of the
Walker Army Reserve Center and the choices that the City has to eitner form an LRA to
manage the disposal of property process or to defer shepherding that process to an entity
designated by the federal government. The Council previously elected not to form an LRA in
favor of pursuing potential acquisition of the property for public purposes.
BACKGROUND: The disposaUreuse process has been redefined by Department of Defense
(DOD) and remains in flux. The City has been asked to reconsider establishment of an LRA or
to again inform DOD that it will not. An extension of time until September 8, 2006 had been
requested in order to provide Council with additional time to receive pertinent information and
deliberate its decision. That request has not been acknowledged. However, it is prudent for the
Council to officially opine on the matter. Members of Council and city staff toured the Walker
Army Reserve Center on August 22. That evening I reported my opinion that Council should
consider ratifying its earlier decision not to form the LRA; and that I was not persuaded fhat it
would be to the City's benefit to assume responsibility and potential liability for managing a
process not yet fiully defined and which may well be contentious when responding to Notices of
Interest filed by cornpeting entitieslgroups wanting to reuse the property.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to ratify the previous decision of the City
Council and not form a Local Redevelopment Authority regarding the closure and potential
reuse of the Walker Army Reserve Center located in Spokane Valley.

yeai-. The Spok<<ne Valley Arts Council is asking for the amount oi'S 10,000.
AS }IOII k-IlONV we currently house local artists work at CenterPlace; as well as private collections.

and a.sk y4u co join us in preserving this essentiaf Part pf'the Valley Senior Centcr.
Iv~~ssi.qn Srokane Valley iVleals on VVheels mission is to prolong the ability of clderly and disablecl citizens
of the Spokane Valley to rernain living indcpenciently in dieir homcs by providing hot, nutritious
meals. Uur vision is ta insure that all disabled, homebound, or elderly persons in the Spokane
Valley who are 4.1 need of nutritious meals receive high quality, nucritious ineals. We are best
known far our home-delivered meal program, but e_qiially unportant are our 2 Senior Lunch
Pragrarns, where those seniors that are able to get out can come together to enjoy both a nulritious
meal and socialize wilh others.
Need Siatemcnt
Proper nutrition is essential to thc prevention nr delay of chroivc, disease-related disabil.ities
among scruors. rood insecurity and hunger among the elderly can exacerbate disease, increase
, disability, clecrease resistaiice to inf.eetion, and extend hnspital stays. Nlalnulrition increascs care-
givi.ng ciemands and increases national health care cosLs associated wifh premature hospital or
nursing home stays. Pcople thaC are malnourished take 40% lAngcr to recover from illncss and
surgc;ry with 2-3 times more cornplications. I'ersons that suffer from malnutrition expelience a

ciecrease in energy anci endurance and sufler froni uncceased conFusion and memoiy luss-all of
which decrease a person's ability to remain living independenfly.
Ilullger alid maJnuttit:ion is an increasing problcm for the nation's senior popula[ion (aDcd 60
and nver). Second Harvest states that 16.7% of pur nation's seniors go hungry antl accordin~ to
Aging anci :f.,ong Term Care of Eastern Washington, the senior population is cYpected to gi-ow 9.1 %
over the ncxt five years. Ensuring adenu3te nutrition for seiuors takes on increascd lirgency.
ln addition to being able to afford nutritional food, the ability to prepare, gain access to, and eat
the food available strongly affect sufficient food iniake anlons the elderly. A.ccording ta Nick
l3eamer, Executive Direcfor of Aeing and Long tenn Care of Eastern `Vashingtou, factors that
contribute to i.naciequate faod consumption aunong the elderly include:
• Inadequate income: Many seiuors are forced to choose benveen paying far their essential
prescripiion di'ugs 3nd buyirlg nutritious fpod.
• Functionat impai.nnents: Lirnitations on physical inobility inlerfere with the ability of
seruors to shop ajid prepare food.
• Social isolalion: Fewer calories arc cotisuuied at nieals ea/en alone.
• l7epression
• ReCIUCti0115 ul faSte and SmEll, poor health stahis, and poor denticion.
l:n the mosl recent survey conductcd by the Setuor NUtritiAn Prograrn of the Spokane .Regional
l=lealth laistrict, for 67% oCSenior Lunch.Prograin (SLI') participants ir► Spokane County, the meal
that they receive at their ST.P is their mairi meal of the day. Seveoty one pereent of the purticipants
said that they would have iiif_ficulty in nne of the follawins areas associateci with preparing a
nutritious meal: shoppiug; cooking, cleaning up, choosing nu[ritious food, or paY'ing for faod.
The Uniled States Departrnent of;Fiealth and Human Services Aclrninistratioti ou Agulg
reccntly pcrformed a study on Senior I,unch Programs sucll as the one propnsed by Spokane Vallcy
. Meals on Wheels and [oui1d:
• In vulncrable populations, the majUrity lived alone or wcre over 75 year5 olcl ancUor were
poor or near poor.
• Programs tivere highly rated by respondents.
• Lncreased social opportunities.
0 43% ofthe program participants tivere of high nulrici4iial risk and 48%, were at inoderate
nutrirional rislc. .
Benefits/Obiectives
Our program objectives are to improve the nutrition and ultimately the healtll of seniors and
clisabled persons i.n the Spokane Valley, which in hirn will enable them to live indepenclently, and in
their own hoi?ies longer. The vast majority of seruors state that they would prefer co abe in Iheir
own hoiiie. Additionally, maintaining someone in their own liottie rather than moving lhem to a
higher level vf care saves taxpayer ciollars. In addition; b_y figtiting hunger, we are lessening the
cost of nledical care for the elderly. I'roper nulritinn cu[s down on the frequency of Doctoi's visits
and the length uf hospitalizations.

S. l% are at or below the poverty level. We served aver 10,000 mcals at tlie Valley Senior Center

Dear Mr. Thompson; Thank you i'or the opportunity to request funduig from the City of Spokane Valley for the
vear 2007.
The Spokane Valley Couununity Centcr &Food Bank continues to be the only ' •
comtnunity ccntcr to establish itself in the Spokane Valley. We provide vutreach and
services to nearly a third of the population in Spokane County and serve as the sole
-saurce of compre_liensive conunuiuty services beriveen the City of Spokane and the Idaho
border.
Serving more than 69,000 people under the iunbrella of the Spokane Valley Community Center c.f~ Food 13an1:, the ten agencics housed at the center provide uniyue anci critic;al
services that help our sevvice rccipients rise from lives of need or poverly and become
productive citizens of our community. From our Coats f4r Kids program in our Schoo)
Supplies program; from our subsiciireci apartments to paying ulility cosis for fviancially
burdenetl iamilies, the Center is addressinb the basic financial; emotional and
psychological needs of our commtuiity's citi7ens. `
The Spekane Valley Commuiuty Center & Food Banl: is tuuque in that all of this work,
and much more, such as thONIC prograin, the Valley Food 13ank, the health clinic, the
clothing bank, GED classes, and other services, are housed within a ecntrally loeated
building; allc>eving families to use these services without havuie to make time-consuming;
eapcnsivc and emotionally ciifficult trips all over the county.
Statistics from 2003 tell tLs the Centcr is located within a catchment area where
approaimately 65% of children live at or below the poverty line. Many of the families
served by the Center are compromiscd by multiple problems; including pnverty, family
vialence and chemical depenciency'. ~~%le various Faith commuiuties coutinuE to .
provide financial support that partially sustains the work of the Center over time, it is
1.0814 E. Broadvvay • www.spokanevalleycommunitycenter.org
~ simply not realistic to expcct that the basic costs associated -vith emergencY assistance be
borne solely by these congrcgations. T11e challenges in this scgment of the community
are simply tao grcat to be adciressed only by local, residents without the support of thc
City af Spokane Valley.
In 2005 the Ce.nter provided of $90,568 in clirect emergency services to families in aur
service area, not including any salary cost. We are requesting that lhe Cit), of Spokane
Valley invest toward the salary of the Emergency Assistancc Case Manager. 'I'he County
Developmcnt 131ock Grant has awarde.d us $13,000 and we are requesting S5,000 from
the City of Spokane Valley tq help offset nur cost of sala.ry and medical beneiits far this
position. This will leave us approximately $14,000 to secure from other sources.
Again, we vcry mucli aPpreciate the opportunity to suhmit this letter for Punciing. We
appreciate thal the Gity faces financial constrainls and must assist several worthy
orbanizatians.
Sincerely,
,
Ken Briggs

ISM 13pdgct ]'mposa] tNov_ 2005
Description:
dackzround: "The 2151 century will be the century of biology. The most obvious sign of biology's uscendance is the mapping
of the human genome_ 13ut this breakthrough is harclly the entire story. !t is really the heginning vf u new eru
of economic growth tltat will revolve around human health.
The InIF►nd Northwest region is home to over one millian people anci spans four states including Eastern Washingtnn,
\~orth Idaho, Westeni Montana, and \iortheastcrn Oregon.
`fhe region is nationally known for having an incredible quality of life that includes trernendous outdoor and recrcational
activities, modest cost of living and an cnviahle transportatian system.
Supporting this rernarkable region is a robust network of rural and urban hospitals (including two of the top three in the
state of Washington), excellent higher education a„ssets including hvo research universities and numerous private colleges,
a robust community collegc system, a multi-program. fecieral lab anct wrorlcf-class digital infr~astrueture allawing far
broadband eommunication.
Recent studies by Tripp Umbach, "Opportunities for Biomeclical Fconomic Developmcnt" Z and the ERT[J Public Policy
institutc, "The Economic Impact of Health Care to Spokane County" 3 confirm that the notion of an economic
development st:rategy that includes biomedicine is bolh possible and csscntial to supporting the largcst economic engine in
Spokane County, the delivery of health care.
1'he Challen¢e
'or all of the wonderful quality of life attributes the region has, the Inland Northwest c;ontinues tn lag behind the countli.
in growing reSional wealth; ariracting knowledge based business and creating high wa?c johs. Structural problcros
account for a portion of this (an agribusiness and service base) but some effect must be attributed to the relative lack of an
innovation-basecl economy for the region.
A Solution
As the 21 ' century is the century nf biology, the region would be weU served to examine the possibilities of contributing
and indeed competing in this arena. In the discipline of biomedieal seienees there is a eompelling case tn cnnnect the
dispersed assets of the region.
Pacific Northwest Nfltional Lab has world-class assets in bioinformatics, high speed computing and peoteomics.
Washington StitCe University has exemplary prngrams in repmduciive biology, agricultural biotechnolo gy and veterinary
medicine. Gonz.aga University has nationally recognized programs in business, law and entrepreneurship and matriculates
a high proporlion of kheir undergraduates to medical schools.
Providence Services operates nine rural and urban hASpitals tluoughout the reginn including the largest, Sacred f-leart
Medical Center. perhaps more important than these exemplary pragrams is the talent pool that these varied institutions
posscss.
The Bold ldea
"In the 21t" century, prasperity will flow to those regions thu[ create a campelling conriection benveen health research
und heulth practice. It is this cumbinution that will make health a poiverfeil economic engine.
ISM l3udgct ProposaJ Nov, 2005 Pagc 2
~--~1Sinc_e February of 2003, a group of regional leaders, led by Fathcr Robert Spitzer and John Stone has bcen quietly meeting
llit}i Dr. Leroy Hood, President of the Institute of Systems Biolngy and Dr. David Galas, VP and Chief Scientifc Officer,
r3attelle to ctiscuss the future of life scienee research in the Spokane Region. Discussions with lars. Hood arid Galas have
illuminaiecl the oppQrtunity and the eMallenge we face as a region.
Dr. Hnod believes that the future of inedicine will be racfically transfarrned as the pace oFdiscovery intensifies based on
genomics, high throughput technology and compuiational biology. "1'his new knowledge will lead to an era of what Dr.
Hood refers to as "systems medicine" an era where medicine will become prcdictive, preventive and personalizecl.
Connecting our health care assets with health researeh is the bold idea for the region. These assets (health care) are
place bound, and new investments in biomedieal research can ancl shoulct be focused on leveraging these assets in ways
that will enable the traiislation, application and potential commercializatian of new discoveries ro occur in a seamless
process. Succcss in doing so will confer competitive aclvantagc for our regions hospitals, hith wage job creation for our
comrnunities and wealth crcation that will fuel continuous innovation.
We are proposing the fcirmation of a private scientific institute based on the principles of systems medicine and systems
biology. Ideally, the institute will facus in an area of scientifc and medical interest based on its leadership. t\ private
institute ciin conduct an innovative research agenda, attract entrepreneuriAl researchers and engage the private sector in
join[ research activities. A nrivate resea.rch institute can aggressively pursue commercialization opportunities in
partnership wit.h for-pmfit interests. A privflte research institute cait be formed rapiclly with Ihe support of the many
stakeholders represented in t:he rcgion.
Sufficient scientifie chaUenges remain unanswemd so that no one region can rnqnonolize the full opportunity. For our
region to compete and prosper in the 2lti' century, the century of biology, we will beneFt: from successfully launching
ideas like the 'Northwest Institutc of Systems Medicine. ,

EXF.CUTIVE SUMM1tARY'
A NOTE FR4M DR. LEROY HOOD
Dear Fnends:
The emerging field of systems biology promises completely new
systems approaches to the study of disease. A systems view of ~
medicine is predicated upon a simple idea - the functions of life are •
mediated by biological networks, and human disease occurs when one or more of these networks become perturbed by genetic
mutations and/or abnormal environmental signals, such as the AIDS i
virus, This systems view offiers striking new approaches to the
diagnosis and treatment of diseases, namely Systems Medicine.
Systems Medicine is driving the development of new rn vivo and m vitro measurement
technologies, which will collectively lead to medical care that is predictive, preventative,
personalized and participatory (P4 medicine) +nnthin the next 5 to 20 years. The implications of
these and other fundamental paradigm changes on the future of inedicme and the future of our
health care system will be dramatically changed by P4 medicine. Like the Institute for Systems
Biology, the Institute for Systems Medicine aims to foster paradigm shifts in how disease is
viewed, diagnosed, treated, and even prevented
The Institute for Systems Medicine's distinction lies in its aim to maintain both a strong emphasis
on P4 medicine as well as in the promising field of Epigenomics - which includes assessmg the
effect of environmental factors on disease - and to integrate the translational applicaUon of the
Interdisciplinary, outcome-oriented research to the existing model of Systems Biology. This
translational component will serve as the major conduit to transfer basic biomedical research to
patients and doing so will leverage collaboration between academic, research and clinical
capabilities in order to move Ideas to !r►novations to Applications as well as set the ISM apart as a
world-class insbtution.
Given the powerful combination of our knowledge of the genome technological advances, and
high-speed computers, the systems view of inedicine and growing interdisciplinary collaborations
present the opportunity to make new scientific and medical breakthroughs at an accelerated pace
- certainly more rapidly than in any new field of biology m the 20"' Century. Upon reading this
document, my hope is that you will share in our enthusiasm of ushering in new discoveries at the
Institute for Systems Medicine.
Sincerely,
Leroy Hood, MD, PhD

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
Genesis of the ISM
In 2003, a group of world-renowned scientific leaders, including Or. Leroy Hood, Founder and
President of the Insbitute of Systems Biology (ISB), as well as local business and political leaders
within the northwest region of the United States explored potenfial opportunities to p,omote
regional economic development in the Inland Pacific Northwest Over the next ~
two years, discussions and research led tfiis group to pursue the
developme+it of a world-class scientific institution, the Institute for
Systems Medicine (ISM), to focus on advancing recent disooveries in
.r;
b+omedical research, provide a c,ritical mass of biomedical researchers,
and advance health care while leveraging Eastem Washington's
F
~
unique education and health resources, as well as economic growth.
~
ISM Mission and Structure
The ISM will pursue Systems Medicine by applying the principles of Systems
Biology to basic and transladona( research. Systems Biology focuses on the ~
developmental, pathological and clinical aspects of disease hom the molecular to the pathobgical
to the physiological level in an organism. The ISM's translational approach to Systems Medicine
will address functionaliNes along several points in the research continuum, from initial laboratory-
based research through clinical applications of discoveries
The ISM's approach to Systems Medicine will further include a focus on the ~ .
pioneering area of Epigenetics (or Epigenomics), conducting research that is both
ra . I
collaborative and additive to the fields of Genomics and Systems Medicine.
Epigenomics seeks to explain the role of environmental factors and geographic
trends in disease status, and it is believed that this field will serve as the first wave ~
of innovation for the ISM. •
The Research Programs of tfie ISM will be the epicenters of innovation and discovery. These
Programs will undertake novel, hypothesis-based research projects, with the goal of driving idess
to innovations to applications for patients. The Core Laboratories will act as service centers for
the Institute's research programs. These cores include Clinicai Care Laboratories, sVuctured to
increase Ginical research and facilitate the translation of discoveries irom the laboratory to the
clinical environment. The Administrative and Support Services will serve as the business
foundation for research and discovery,
Institute for tiystems Mcdicinc '
F.XECL:T(VE SUMMAR1`
T'le ISM's govemance structure will include a nationally recruited Board of Directors: a
PresidenUChief Scientific Officer, who will lead and provide scientific direction for ISM; an Extemal
i;dvisory Board; and a Scientific Advisory Board, which will guide ISM and recruit affiliates to
ensure the coordination of ISM research,
ISM Partnerships
The ISM's translational concept describes an approach to biomedical research that involves the
collaboration of academic, research, clinical, and industry capabilities to move from discoveries to
patient applications. Connectivity to universities, research institutions, heatthcare providers, the
biotech / pharmaceutical industry, and other organizations provides critical access to the expertise
necessary to successfully to launch and sustain an institution of this magnitude. Moreover, it
creates a win-win approach of mutually beneflcial and symbiotic relationships among the partners
and provides a platform to translate ideas into innovative diagnostics and treatments for patients.
Several institutions from research, academia, and clinical care have stepped fonrvard
r-' as the ISM's founding partners. These are Washington State University,
Gonzaga University, The Institute for Systems Biology, Empire Health
Services, and Providence Health Care. Collaboration between the ISM, its
~ Partners, and the community will be essential to translating novel scientific
_y breakthroughs to benefit patients in the clirncal setting. These collaborative
~ networks are desgned to be mutually beneficial to each partner and are
anticipated to focus on the areas that leverages collective capabilities where
the benefits are greater than any entity could produce independently
_ The ISM is designed, through its public-private partnerships, with the intent of leveraging existing
regional resources and strengths, and connecting them in a fashion that serves as a catalyst for
greater interaction and as a catalyst for economic growth. Such strategic endeavors accelerate
economic development by boosting regional assets.
Economic Development and Public-Private Partnerships
A pioneering research institute, focused on translational discoveries, can serve as an important
economic development effort. This institute can, as in the case of pnor such entities, support
significant indirect retum-0n-investment for its host region and bolster the region's research and
development capacity. The institute can further increase partner organization competitiveness,
germinate new intellectual property, and positively impact health quality for saciety. These

Projed Access intends to apply for the program's maximum allowed amount of $250,000 per year. The
grant offers a 1: 2 match for funding; ie, the grant will provide one dollar for every two dollars raised
from other souroes. It also requires compreherwive commun'ity collaboration. Project Aocess intends
to woric closely with Community Health Certters, hospitals, and medical providers to enhance the
provision of inedical services available to the low income uninsured in Spokane County, and to assist patients in care coordination and case management. Funds rnust be used to increase the program's
scope and will probably not be available for phaRnaceuticals, which must continue to be funded
separately; thus the importanoe of corrtinued strong support from Iocal municipalfies.
The anticipated matching funds will include a pending Federal appropriation of $254,040, and funding
from local municipalities, health care arganizations, and corporate philanthropy.

affice has said that they were going to check but they thought that they were full on their
Project Access so I might just have to cover the bill there. I gave them all the
infarmation, they were still going to check it for me, and I gave them your card to fax
over the information. I just want to say I-ieidi that you and your staff did an exceptional
job in my case, I tnily appreciate all of your diligence in seeing this matter through and
rushing it so that I could get coverage for my swgery. Again, I truly appreciate all of
your hard work, you do a wonderful job. Thank you very much, if you would like to
speak to me again, I can be reached at xcx-xxcx, again, I can't thank you enough for
everything that you ciid for me. Bye!
Hi Heidi, this is Patient X, I'm sorry to hear that you are out sick today. I'm done with
my surgery and home now, I just wanted to lel you know that I had heard from the
doctor's oflice and they decided since I qualified for Project Access the doctor fell
obligated to accept Project Access, so I really appreciaie everything. You should be
getting the paperwork soon. If you do not, why don't you give me a call and let me
know, and I'll get on that. I really, really appreciate everything that you and your staff
have done for me. As i said before, you really saved me an this. I appreciate it, I hope
you have a good rest of the week, and I hope yau start to feel better. Bye bye.
My Story - Cary Abbott
My story began after seeing a piece on TV about cancer awareness month. Being over 50
and having not seen a doctor for years I decided it was tune for a check up. To be tested
for anything, I first had to get a primary doctor. When I found out how expensive it was
ai privaie clinics without insurance, I looked to see what was available through low
income resources. I chose to go ihrough CHAS and was very satisfied with the service I
received. My tests came back and showed an elevated PSA level. The doctor said I
should schedule a biopsy. I was reluctant having no insurance and no resources to draw
from. It was ai this goint that my doctnr referred me to Project Access. I was accepted
by PA and scheduled a biopsy appointment. The biopsy showed that I had prostate
cancer. I was given the option of different treaiments and chose the robotic prostectomy.
I am now at home recovering and so far doing okay. I know if not for Project Access, I
would not have had a biopsy done and would not have been aware that I had prostate
cancer. I feel that I owe my life to Project Access and hope someday in someway I can
repay my debt of gatitude.

~ Inland Northwest Women's Business Center
Request for Funding to City of Spokane Valley
September 5, 2006
Executive SummarK
This request is for the Ciry of Spokane Valley to provide financial support in the amount of
$10,000 to the Inland Northwest Women's Business Center to assist in providing Spokane Valley
businesses and specifically women-owned businesses, guidance and support in the creation and
development of new small business ventures and growth and development of existing small
business in the region. INWBC is the only non-profit organization in the region focused on
strengthening and diversifying the regional economy through creation and growth of women-
owned businesses.
Descrintion of Reauest .
This request seeks financial support for economic development through the creation of local '
woman-owned, small businesses; to enhance and spur the Spokane Region's economy.
The mission of the Inland Northwest Women's Business Center is to be the pathway to the
creation, evolution and success for women in business in the Inland Northwest.
INWBC maintains partnerships with other local organizations in'order to compliment existing
services and not compete or duplicate existing efforts. INWBC works with SCORE, BIZStreet,
SNAP, SBDC, NBC, SBA and others to provide referrals between organizations and alternative
services focused on issues specific to women in business. We are also members of the Valley
Chamber.
The Women's Business Center, as a program of TINCAN, operates with a nominal operating
budget. The City's investment of $10,000 in the INWBC will be leveraged with additional public
and private funding sources in the region. This contribution will be an important commitment to
the growth of local businesses and the economic development of our community.
Our services are of vital importance to the demographic we serve with 80% of our clients being
women and 20% men, From surveying clients, we've learned that in this region, current and
potential business-owners "shop for services" in order to find the right fit to meet their needs.
Often, our clients report having already worked with other organizations. As an example, they
may have sought resources at BIZStreet, met with SCORE and taken an SBA course and have
now come to us for additional guidance and seek an on-going relationship of support. Clients
often consider us mentors throughout the process of business creation.
With a significant percentage of our client base having low to moderately low income, we also
provide the opportunity for women to learn important business and management skills and
become successful in owning their own business. This helps them to become self-sufficient and
reduce the burden on tax payers for social services.
~
~ INWBC provides business counseling for businesses from start-up and business planning to
marketing and product launch. Our programs are targeted to encourage business development
and growth. The Women in Business workshop series provides unique and individualized
courses ranging from financial planning to intellectual property, all with a focus on women's
issues in each topic. INWBC has also launched the Women in Art exhibit space featuring a new
female artist each month and providing them an opportunity to showcase tlheir work. The
program also hosts an artist reception on First Friday and a networking event. These services
are crucial to the growing client base in the region and provide a boost to the local economy
through job creation.
Justification
INWBC is a project of TINCAN, a 501c3 organization. The Center was funded in 2004 in part by
a seed grant from the U.S. Small Business Administration. The purpose of that grant was to
establish the Center, with the understanding that funds for the operation of the program will be
raised from the community we serve to match that investment. The upcoming year will be our
first year of independence from the SBA in operation of the center, requiring that we raise
community and private funds for our basic operating expenses.
Since its inception in October of 2004, the Center has counseled over 300 businesses, and
provided training for over 300 additional businesses. In the first year alone, the INWBC helped
launch 7 businesses and created over 22 jobs. Reporting for year two will be completed in
September and may be reported to the Ciry of Spokane Valley at completion.
According to the U.S. Census Bureau's 2002 Survey of Business Owners completed in 2005,
women are increasing their business ownership at a much higher rate than the national
average. The report states further that, "While the number of U.S. businesses increased by 10
percent between 1997 and 2002 to 23 million, the rate of growth for minority- and women-
owned businesses was far higher." It goes on to state that "the estimated growth rate in the
number of women-owned firms was nearly twice that of all firms (17% vs. 9%), employment
expanded at twice the rate of all firms (24% vs. 12%), and estimaked revenues kept pace with
all firms (39% vs. 34%)." In addition, the Center for Women's Business Research shows that
women-owned businesses are more likely to employ a gender neutral workforce, more likely to
offer paid medical, dental etc. benefits and are more likely to succeed in their first five years of
operation.
The State of Washington under Gov. Christine Gregoire has newly instituted a Supplier Diversity
Initiative to increase the opportunities for women and minorities in contracts with the state. In
a letter to state agencies the governor stated that, "While minority and women-owned
businesses are flourishing in our state, our utilization of these businesses has declined." In fact,
a 2004 study by the Center for Women's Business Research shows that over 58% of
Washington businesses have at least 50% woman ownership for a total of 280,075 privately-
held firms in the state. Washington State ranks 12'h in the number of privately-held woman-
owned businesses (51% or greater ownership), 10'h in employment by woman-owned firms and
10'h in sales. In Governor's Directive 98-01, Governor Gregoire further called for state agencies
to ensure fair and open opportunities for women and minorides in contracting and encouraged
each agency to work with the Office of Minority and Women's Business Enterprise (OMWBE) to
track their progress and work to implement practical solutions.
;
~
INWBC is working to create a database of woman-owned firms and their area of expertise. With
the Governor's new initiative and a federal mandate for sub-contracting with woman-owned
businesses, it is becoming increasingly important for prime contractors and agencies to find
woman-owned firms to fill thesQ opportunities. Currently, there is no complete list of woman-
owned firms for the region. INWBC will be working with OMWBE, the U.S. Census Bureau, and
our partner organizations to develop a database of these firms in order to provide additional
opportunities for the firms in this arena. Our staff will also be available to counsel these clients
and/or refer to other organizations to prepare them to do business with these agencies and
prime contractors.
llie nature of INWBC and the partnerships developed with other organizations allows for
counseling and business assistance in any area needed. Our staff continually seeks
opportunities for professional development to expand their areas of expertise. In addition,
we've built a network of community experts in areas such as financial planning, accounting,
legal issues and marketing who volunteer time to the center teaching workshops and answering
questions in their field.
INWBC's program continues to grow with additional clients and programs being added each
month. Our location in the downfiown core and central to other organizations allows for greater
visibility and increases our name recognition. This benefits all business owners, as they can find
any needed service within a small radius. Our staff continues to develop partnerships and
relationships with other community organizations to increase awareness of the services in the
region and complement their economic development efforts.
Annual Performance Measures
1) Provide counseling sessions for 150 businesses including 60 new business clients
2) Provide 24 workshops and training courses with a goal of 150 businesses trained
3) Measuring effectiveness through semi-annual surveys of ciients and provide the Ciry of
Spokane Valley with data on number of businesses started, jobs creation number and
economic impact data
Future Imaacts
INWBC will continue to grow its client base and programs. These efforts will assist in the on-
going trend of increased percentages of woman-owned firms opening their doors and a positive
etonomic impact on the region. We anticipate additional opportunities for woman-owned firms
through new state initiatives and will be the organization guiding women to these opportunities
which will, in turn, show a positive impact on our region's etonomy.

Uiurvey of Business Owners - Women-Owned Firms: 2002
SUMMARY OF FINDINGS
Women owned 6.5 million nonfarm U.S. businesses in 2002, employing 7.1 million persons and
generating $939.5 billion in business revenues. These women-owned firms accounted for 28.9
percent of all nonfarm businesses in the United States, 6.4 percent of their employment and
4.6 percent of their receipts. The 2002 Survey of Business Owners (SBO) defines women-
owned businesses as firms in which women own 51 percent or more of the interest or stock of
the business. The data in this report were collected as part of the 2002 Economic Census from
a large sample of all nonfarm businesses filing 2002 tax forms as individual proprietorships,
partnerships, or any type of corporation, and with receipts of $1,000 or more. Table A shows
the number of firms and revenue for all U.S. businesses in 2002 by gender of ownership. In
addition to the 6.5 million majority women-owned firms, there were 2.7 million equally male-
/female-owned firms with $731.7 billion in receipts.
KIND OF BUSINESS CHARACTERISTICS
Thirty-two percent of women-owned firms operated in health care and social assistance, and
other services (such as personal services, and repair and maintenance), where they owned
, 43.7 percent of all such businesses in the U.S. Wholesale and retail trade accounted for 38.2
U percent of women-owned business revenue. Forty-two percent of the wholesale trade revenue
was concentrated in wholesale electronic markets and agents and brokers. Table B shows the
industries accounting for the largest receipts for women-owned firms.
GEOGRAPHIC CHARACTERISTIGS
California had the most women-owned firms at 870,496 or 13.4 percent, with receipts of
$137.7 billion or 14.7 percent. New York was second with 505,077 or 7.5 percent, and with
receipts of more than $71.4 billion or 7.6 percent. Texas was third in number of firms with
468,705, and third in receipts with $65.8 billion. Texas accounted for 7.0 percent of all
women-owned firms, and 7.0 percent of receipts. Tables C, D,and E, respectively, show the
ten combined statistical areas, nine counties, and five cities with the largest number of

DATA COMPARABILITY TO PRIOR SURVEYS
~rhe data for 2002 are not directlY comParable to previous survey years below the U.S. totai
because of several significant changes to the survey methodology. The,most significant
change occurred in data presentation by kind of business with the transition from the 1987
Standard Industrial Classification (SIC) system to the 2002 North American Industry
Classification System (NAICS). Additional changes are discussed in detail in Methodology_, in
the section titled "Comparability of the 2002 and 1997 SBO Data."
Table F provides a comparison of the 2002 and 1997 published data for women- and male-
owned and all U.S. firms. The table also shows that when compared to all U.S. businesses
excluding publicly held corporations and other firms for which gender of ownership is
indeterminate, women-owned firms accounted for 28.9 percent of firms, 12.9 percent of
employees and 10.7 percent of receipts.

Council and staff giive self introductions to Cangrcsswoman vlcNlorris and her staff.
Mayor Wilhite nave a brief overview of Spokane Valley, curre_ntly a population of 87,000, starteci .
wich 82,000. Taepury Mayor '1'aylor said we are the 7`h largest city in the state - we're a contract
city, and just recently contracted out parks maintenancc. Part of parks maintenance is upkeep of
pools and prngrams and the YMCA nms the swimining lessons at the pools allowing the pools to
be open lonocr through the summer scasori. The City tries to he innovative. 1'Je contract wilh the
county for law enfarcement scivice,s with 101 full time ernplayed poliee, 82 af which are
~ allocated specifically to the valley while olhers are shared - such as swat and detectives. 'I"he
Cj CounCy also does some of the plowing and winter street maintenance. We adopted our f rst
camprehensive plan and our first master parks and recreation plan. `l'he State Auditor's office
recently gave us a report of outstandino and the credit goes to the City Manager and Finance
' departmenl. NVc're lpoking to spend .5 million dollars for a study of the SpragueJAppleway
corridor. Citizens are concerned ahout the one-way streets tind the Ioss of die retail corridor. We
are eurrently in the process of developing the Uni.form Development Code. SCreet maintenance is
very important as we don't want roacls in disrepair. 'C'he cnmprehensive plan was approved April
25, 2006. Growth manaoement keeps the Council busy talking with County Commissioncrs.
Councilinember Munson explained Cha[ it is up to council to approue or disapprove the
comprehensive plan. Councilmernber Gotlmiattn said that prior to Courlcil approva) the plan goes
to the F'lanning Commission for review and comment.
Congresswoman McMorris ststed tllat she is very invrolved wiCh NTk:PA and believes if everyone
cornmunieates well from the beginning we will all have better progress and succcss.
\~eil Kersten discusscd the street projects and reviewed the map showing f'ederally fundzd
projects. Tlie Valley corridor project is on hold duc to the sub-area plan corridor btit it will be a
major Project. laeputy Mayor T'aylor asked what the raCio of our local dollars spent is leveraged
against state and federal grants. Vlr. Kersten indic;ateci it is about 10%. Fle would like to get state
funds as well ss federal fiinds on the Spraaue/Appleway project. Congresswoman McMorris
askeci how much of tlle fu.nding cornes f'rorn local funds and how much do we try to seek from
elsewhcre. .Tasve Mercier explained that NvE always havc local money earmarked but we try to
take advanta-e af state and federal brzints iind ot:her funding options. Congresswomzn McMorris
encouraged us to continue as we have been. Ivlr. Kersteri discussed the Bridging af the Valley
project, indicating it will be a very lcu-ge projecC. The Sullivan Road bridge will alsa be a major
Special N4eeting wlCorigressrian McMorris 2006, 8-I6 Pa,a,e I of 4
project. Iraffic is very restricted going north and this will connect to Highway 395 and link into
thc Nlorth-South freeway.
Police Chief Cal Walker apologized for beina, repetitious of past conversations. Iie expressed
thanks for Congesswoman TvlcMorris' support on several issues. Funding has made dramatic
impacts, particularly the w•eed and seed program and its impact on the rdoecliff comrnunity
which has become a madel across the nation as a commimity coming together with a lirtle seed
money and hirning it around. The neigt►bort►oocl haci code enforcemenc issues, c-ars filled with
garbage, and with just a tittle money to clean up the neighborhood a community can go a long
way to rebuild morale in the neighborhood. `I'he city is looking to create a regional training
facility using homeland security money ancl asks that the congresswomnn please considers our
needs, and recognizes we can manage the funds without so many restrietions. Congresswoman
McMonis stated she hopes they're nalcing progress to get local dollars to law enforcement that
will give the oppArtunity for cities to managc the funds. Police Chief Walker scitted he'd like tn
have Spokane Valley put the money to work in the community as is nceded. David Condon, aid
to Cathy vic«orris indicated that Ceneral Lowenberg will meet this Friday and will talk about
homeland security grants and try to uncover where the f'unds go. Poliee Chief Walker stated he
appreciates t:hat Conc esswoman McMorris listens and causes action to happen; she works very
well with the city. Me mentioned that our nearest rT)U assct is hundreds of miles away and we do
not have reclunclaney money, whereas on the west side of the state the ncarest EDU is only four
miles a«<ay. I-Ie is tremendously Iiappy wilh the amounC of grants specifically focused to Spnkane
Valley and stated we have been successful in gaining grants and reporfing back to congress those
SUCCCSSCS.
Councilmember Gnthmann summarized Community Iaevelopment Block Grints (CI7BG) allocated this year. We stated we were limitecf to $236,000 for city services and public .
infrastructure is a central part. Ho«sing and Community Taevelopment Advisnry Cnmmittee
establishes the priority Af services and the nriints to pursue. Councilmember Munson explained
that Council made the choice not to make its own zone even though t:hat woulcl have meant mnre
money would have been alloeatecl to Spokane Valley because it would also rnean smaller cit.ies
would geC less. ]3y staying with Spokane County it hclps the larger commumity as a whole.
Councilmcmber Gothmium detailec) seven grants and the impact on the com.muni[y. Greenhnuse
provides 1`ree emergency f'QOd, clotlies and assiscance far severxl norchern areas. Space is donated
by Lion L«theran Cilurch and they sre 3n cxecllent example of cooperation beriveen the private
and public seclor. Qnly 113 nf reqiaested fiinds are typicslly made available. °l'he Street Valley
Tmprovement Project provides fiill width paving in a community in which 53% of residents fall
withiu low income levels. Depury Mayor Taylor stated he believes some restructuring qf the
CDBG program needs to bc done buC he wants to make sure cities like Spokanc Valley have a Int
of community partieipation and have the fiuids well spent Congresswoman McMorris sees
infrastructure needs and supports this source of funding fnr lncal governments to use fqr these
types of projects. Coiincil appreciates her support. Without these funds, the work likely wou(d n4t
have been donc. vlayor VVilhite said the money is w•ell spernt to get those most in need the things
they need. Cortgresswoman Nlevlorris asked who detennines how mueh money a zone receives.
Councilmember Munson respnnded that,hlUla ha,5 a formula based upon how many people irt thc
zone fall below the income levels.
Councilmernber Denenny summarized the '1'otal Maxirr►um Daily Load ('I'aV1DL) program, stating
that when Spokane Valley becamc a ci1y, the County was removing septic tanl:s in this region due
to being over the aquifer. Spokane Valley comprises 75% of the Counly's lreatment plant
capacity anct they are looking at possibly running out nf capacity. After 18 months of cliscussion,
the T,~t:ni committee was able to come to an agrcement that should be workable. The

foundational concepts crcale a►nana~;e.ible regional plan. VJe ~+ill lo~k at how to elimina[e
pountls based on equivalents thrnuDhout the region. There will bc a 20-year manageable plan that
will be assc;sed aAer 10 years. '1'he nlan is draRECf and Couneil will likely approve an
unclcrstanding agreement and we are cuiTently working with the 17epa.rCrnent of Ecology. There
may be some issues in Idahq controlled by the EYA. The goals for the discharge pounds per day
arc very low numbers and it takes a lot of funding td get the reduction levels so low. If
dischargers were complciely elimina[ect from the river, the river would still noC meet the goal
requirements. We nced regional cooperation iincl collaUoration and to have a vested interest.
Congresswoman McNiorris inquired as to the timeline for all the entieies invrolved to approve.
CnuncilmernUer Denenny responded tMat within the ncxt month we should stut seeino things on
the table.
Councilrnember Munson discussecl the COPE E3i11 ancl stated he hopcs the result of khis meeting
will be more collaboration belwecn our staff and the Cong-esswoman's staff. He would like Co
see a continuation of fim(ling that has been eut and would like Congresswnman VicMorris Co be a
ehampion of Spnktine Valley tn help people undersCand the City shoulti be responsible fior right-
of-way funds ratller than the fecicral government and the Economic laevelopment CounciL He
expressed dhat he doesn't want franchise fees to go to the fcderal government because this cuts
tao much out of the city's budget. Congresswroman 1vtcMorris st<ited this is a complicated issue.
Cotincilmember Munson said that currently if someone N+raiits a fi-anchise iri tlie City, it is
something the Cit}, negotiates. In the proposed chanbe, cities «rould have no input in the national
firanchise and Would not be collecting the franchise fee. Congresswoman McMorris pointed out
t:here are several disaoreements as to how the right-of ways will be affected by the bill. I•ler stiiff
is working hard to ensure the language in the bill is friendlier tn eities with respect to right-of-
C~l~ ways and franchise fees. T)eputy Vlayor Taylor believes it's importaiit to promote competitivn.
Congresswomari MaMorris aid Ryan said he undersumcls the importance of the fecs and will fight
for them for the cities. Gongresscaroman McVlorris expressed diat the goal should not be to kill the
bill because the bill does have some positive aspects to il. City vlanager Mercier suggested
Congresswoman McMorris be in contact with Councilmember 3vlunson for input as new languane
is developed.
Marina Sukup statect that as a new city we have the oppnrtuniey to develop a comprehensive plan
and parl of that is the revitaliLation of the Sprigue/Appleway corridor. Spraguc ,Avenue used to
be the Otily higllway l'hc0ugh the City iincl has changed throughout the years. '1'he tluto-row
businesses are doing fine, but left-over businesses from some of the 1980's development have
died aNvay. We a.re currently worlcin3 dn desigraing roadways to cxcend AppleNvay to make a City
Center ancl asking for citizen parl:icipaciori. Tn July we had consulcants present some ideas and ilie
session was well attencled. A community meeting of seven focus graups will be held in
Septcmbcr atid Council will pul• [opeUher zoning regulalions by the first of the year and seeking
economic developmeni help. Washington is a[ a competitive disadvantage with Idaho due to what
we can and cannot do. One of the consultants tfiscussed housing on SPrague Avenue and we are
being creaCive in looking at the opportunities. We need to pair►t a vision of what the area can laok
like and try to stimulate economic developme►it and get citizens excited. Cowicilmember Munson
stressed thal lhis is a very big plan and will be a legacy for the city, stating "1'eople will not be
able to recogniLe the city in ten years."
Mayor Wilhite referred Congresswoman McMorris to the presenlation bitider for inforniation on
the Children's Universal Park, a park fnr kids to aceess with all abilities.

Re: CTED 2007 GMA Regional Collaboration Competitive Grant
Recently, the Washington State Department of Community, Trade and Economic
Development (CTED) notified jurisdictians across the state that a competitive grant was
available. The purpose of this grant is to assist with activities that help implement the
requirements of the Growth Management Act (GMA) in areas related to innovative
regional collaboration among cities, counties and school districts in planning for a
region's future.
Eligible entities include counties, cities and towns planning under the GMA that have
met the following criteria:
• Adopted a comprehensive plan; critical areas ordinances; natural resource lands
ordinances, where applicable.
• Adopted other necessary development regulations under the GMA, including •
ordinances for subdivisions, zoning (i.e., controls on the location and intensity of
development).
• Have completed the review and, if necessary, revisions to its comprehensive plan and
development regulations as requireti by RCW 36.70A.130.
• Must be in compliance with all GMA requirements at the time of application.
Local government planning activities eligible for funding by this grant are regional
projects that would yield multi jurisdictional benefits such as:
• joint planning negotiations within unincorporated urban growth areas (UGAs), '
_ • joint permitting or code enforcement processes,
• annexation procedures,
C:IQocuments and SettingslCBainbridge.SPOKANEVALLEY1Local SettingslTemporary Intemet
FileslOLK41CTED callaboration grant memo.doc .

• UGA governance transitions, '
• service and utilities provisions,
• inter-local agreements, ~
• revenue shanng, • fair share affordable housing strategies,
• collaborative school planning, siting or permitting;
• feasibility studies for co-location of regional public facilities,
• mediation of regional planning process,
• County-Wide Planning Policies updates, etc.
Grants of up to $75,000 may be requested from this program. Eligible expenditures of
grant funds include cAnsultant contracts, public notice, printing and copying costs. All
costs must be incurred during the grant period (October 15, 2006 to June 30, 2007).
The local coordination of this grant application has been provided by Susan Winchell,
Director of the Boundary Review Board for Spokane County. A working group
comprised of representatives from cities and the county was organized and indude
Steve Franks and Ken Pefton from the C'rty of Spokane; John Pederson from Spokane
County; Doug Smith from the City of Liberty Lake; and Scott Kuhta from the City of
Spokane Valley. This group has met on a couple of oocasions to discuss the grant
application and identify a scope of work to use in completion of the grant application
materials.
The group identified the project as evaluating differences in land use (zoning) and
design standards in the Spokane metropolitan urban growth areas (UGAs). The
following are the major components of the study:
Step 1: Compare and contrast each jurisdiction's zoning, development regulations, streeUroad standards, etc.;
Step 2: Develop either common standards for the UGAs or work out a prooess
to accommodate the differences;
Step 3: Develop a process and procedures to implement the new standards; and
Step 4: Include this information in interlocal agreements between the cities and
county.
The City of Spokane has agreed to be the lead agency for the grant application. This
was largely dus to the fact that in order to eligible to apply for a grant, the jurisdiction
must be fully in compliance with GMIA, the County still has outstanding appeals pending
before the Eastem Washington Growth Management Hearings Board.
The deadline to submit the grant application to the State is September 15, 2006. A
requirement of the grant application is that a letter of support from each participating
jurisdiction be included in the grant application materials.
