MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor DeVleming reminded everyone of tomorrow night's "Conversation with
the Community" at Mirabeau Point Park.
PUBLIC COMMENTS:
Jo L Davis, 11911 E. Buckeye: commented concerning Valley View Estates and of the possibility of
putting in additional homes; that she feels 68 new homes is too many; the lots would be too small. In
response to a question from Mayor DeVleming, Community Development Director Sukup stated that the
area in question is a plat approved in 1994, that changes were proposed and the matter is currently under
staff review, it will go before the hearing examiner, but the hearing has not yet been scheduled.
Helen Sergeant, 11810 East Buckeye: said she has been told a lot of different things in relation to the
issue stated above; that she understood there were two closed door hearings; but that just today Ms.
Sukup explained the situation; however, she said putting the sign where people cannot see it is not good;
and that there are a number of citizens angry about having a zone changed without citizen input.
Annette Renrshard, 1705 N McMillan Lane: said she worked hard during the incorporation of the City;
that citizens were promised taxes would be held down; that people are worried about an increase in taxes
without holding spending; that she feels she gave two years of her life to help create this City and she sees
no reason why taxes should go up.
Glen Kibbutz, N 17 Walnut Road: stated that he's watching Councilmembers; when the elections were
held all but one purported to be financial wizards and said that citizens would get the same or better
services without tax increases; he holds the Councilmembers to their word.

2. First Reading/Second Reading: Proposed Ordinance 04 -029 Authorizing Election and Property Tax
Levy — Ken Thompson
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Munson and
seconded by Deputy Mayor Wilhite to advance the ordinance to a second reading on July 20, 2004.
Finance Director Thompson then explained that the desire is to use bond sale proceeds for street capital
improvements in conjunction with Spokane County's Septic Tank Elimination Program (STEP); that
Washington Code requires an election to authorize the sale of six million dollars in bonds, that funding
provided by a special property tax levy of $.21 /m of taxable value would be assessed each year for six
years; and that if approved, the program would start in 2005. Director Thompson also explained that for
the bond issue to pass, there must be voter turnout equal to at least 40% of those who voted in the last
general election, or 6,172 voters, and of those voters, there must be a 60% vote in favor; adding that the
funds would be restricted to street capital improvements and not used for any other purpose.
Councilmember Munson asked if the County was doing curb -to -curb paving as part of this program, and
if they were using separate funds or using the STEP funds that the County collected from us to pay for the
project. Director Thompson responded that he was not certain what funds the County used, but in 2003,
we paid the million for the curb to curb. Public Works Director Kersten stated he feels the County used
some County Road Tax Funds, that our staff can research to get the details, but he is aware the funds did
not come from the utility. Discussion followed on budget questions, smaller actual revenues versus what
was projected; property taxes now, that previously the trench part of the road was paid for by the County,
that the County did not provide full width paving prior to 1999 and it used a variety of funds to pay for
that work. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment.
Council Minutes 07 -13-04 Pap 2 of 6
Date Approved by Council:
Draft
Thomas Richardson, 8915 E. Boone: asked for a show of hands of Councilmembers who had sewer
installed; that this is not the way to fill a shortfall by trying to tell the people this is the way to pay for

project and does not oppose it.

ballot issue won't pass anyway.
Bob Blum, 12722 East 15`'': said he is opposed to any tax; was also concerned that the newspaper stated
the issue would be passed tonight; that he is concerned about giving the public enough time to comment
on things and feels another meeting would be beneficial.
Mayor DeVleming invited further public comment; no further comments were offered. Council then
discussed the July 23 deadline delivery date to the County for placing this issue on the ballot, that Council
would not be voting for a tax but through this ordinance, would vote to place the issue on the ballot for
citizen vote; of the concern for further public input, of the cost to taxpayers should this proposal pass, and
that the tax would end in six years. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None.

7b. Motion Consideration: Spokane Regional Wastewater Alliance Declaration of Purpose
It was moved by Councilmember Denenny and seconded, to accept the Declaration of .Purpose as drafted
before Council. Councilmember Denenny explained that the Spokane Regional Wastewater Alliance
Declaration of Purpose addresses regional needs for sewer, water quality, and environmental concerns,
and that in this process, a consultant would be hired to assist in discovering the common interests, and
that John Maxwell is the consultant being considered. City Manger Mercier also stated that this is a
precursor to beginning a research project to help solicit the information described in said declaration, that
this declaration is the litmus test for moving to the next stage and that some reviewing of the language
may be necessary; but that staff seeks endorsement of the concept. City Manger Mercier also stated that
the estimated cost of performing the research would be $40,000, and that the City of Spokane, City of
Spokane Valley, Spokane County, and City of Liberty Lake together with the Liberty Lake Sewer and
Water District, would split the cost of that effort. The City of Spokane Valley's share of that cost would
be 510,000, but that staff will bring expenditures to Council at a later time for approval consideration.
Mayor DeVleming invited public comment.
Tony Lazanis: said that at the meeting where this declaration was discussed, the City of Spokane indicated
they were not going to participate, that Liberty Lake was not in attendance at the last meeting, and it
doesn't appear that others will be participating, leaving Spokane Valley to pay 90% of the cost; he added
that people want to know what Council is doing and Council is not being "up front."
Glen Kibbett, 17 N Walnut Road: said he applauds the basics of trying to get viable solutions and get the
entities together; that it disturbs him that Liberty Lake can't meet discharge conditions into the River and
they are operating on a special permit; and questioned why Liberty Lake would not put a moratorium on
building as this affects us because we're all part of the system.
Thomas Richardson, 1859 E. .Boone: said it would be good if we all got together to support this; he feels
the public feels the EPA will not allow the county's facility at the stockyards; and added that the River is
taking a beating.
Mayor DeVleming invited further public comment; no further comments were offered. Vote by
Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.

8. Panhandling Regulations — Cary Driskell
Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained the memo accompanying his July 13 Request for Council
Action, which is a synopsis of the research performed by legal intern Joshua Leonard. Attorney Driskell
stressed that the Courts give this issue very close scrutiny as it deals with constitutionally protected
speech. Discussion turned to traffic flow, littering, other donating options, requiring a business license,
and for safety reasons, prohibiting panhandling at intersections. Refined options concerning this issue
will be brought back again for further discussion.
9. Potential Amendments to Criminal Code (Noise issues, etc) — Cary Driskell
a. Noise: Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained that there have been numerous residential complaints
to the Police Department regarding other resident's ability to quiet enjoyment of their property; and that
the Police Chief has urged staff to bring this forward for immediate consideration; adding that staff will
continue to work on other noise issues such as disturbances on rights -of -way and blasting regulations.
After brief council discussion of the issue, Council concurred for staff to move this ordinance forward.
b. Open Container: Attorney Driskell said the request is to change the penalty from a misdemeanor to an
infraction in order to conform with State law. Fees were discussed and Attorney Driskell said staff
recommends a $50.00 fine plus court costs for a total of $103. Councilmember Munson said he would
have no objection to a $1,000 fine plus court costs as this issue involves drinking and driving, and he feels
the consequences should be as punitive as possible; but agrees with the $100 plus court costs. Attorney
Driskell said the State law maximum fine for infractions is $250.00, and Councilmember Munson
suggested that staff use that figure. Council concurred to move forward on this ordinance. Attorney
Driskell said he will check with Coeur d'Alene regarding their practice of police reacting to noise
disturbances if the police can hear the disturbance from a distance of 50'.
10. Cost Recovery Studies —.Ken Thompson
Finance Director Thompson gave his PowerPoint presentation on 2004 cost recovery study. Council and
staff discussion then turned to frequency regarding permit types and rates, lower than anticipated
revenues, adequately covering costs, customer convenience, and the overall difficulty in evaluating and
analyzing all externalities to discover the exact amount of cost recovery. City Manager Mercier added
that staff will be presenting cost recovery studies approximately every six months.
1 1. Precinct Lease Agreement Report — Cal Walker
Police Chief Walker gave a history of the issue as indicated on his Request for Council Action form and
accompanying July 1, 2004 memo. Council agreed to bring this issue forward at the next Council
meeting for motion consideration.
12. Chamber of Commerce Request Regarding Ownershi of Wastewater Assets —Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten brought Council attention to the two letters contained in the backup
material, and stated that the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce asked County Commissioners for
their position regarding transfer of ownership of the County's wastewater assets, adding that the County
indicated that the Board "would be receptive to a transfer assuming that an equitable agreement for
transfer of assets, debt, and reserves can be established." Director Kersten said staff wanted to bring this
information to Council for initial discussion and perhaps bring back the issue later for further discussion.
Mayor DeVleming saicl he feels we should explore the issues involved, and instruct staff to ask the
County under what specific terms and conditions they would convey all or a portion of the wastewater
assets to Spokane Valley. Councilmember Munson said he wants to know how much we could expect in
funds. Councilmember Flanigan suggested we ask the County Commissioners what they consider
equitable for transfer of assets and reserves. Director Kersten added that there are two issues: the area on
the north side of Spokane off Division, and the area within the Valley; do we want the entire system or
just the area in the valley; and if we split the area, we and the County need to consider all options. After
Council Minutes 07 -13 -04 Page 5 otb

further discussion on the range of variables, it was decided that staff will issue the County a letter asking
them to articulate under what terms and conditions they would convey all or part of the assets.
13. Gambling Tax Update — Ken Thompson
Finance Director Thompson gave the background of the punchboard and pulltab gambling tax change
from what the County levied (10% of net receipts), and of what our ordinance requires (5% of the gross
receipts); and that every punchboard and pulltab operator has been paying the county's rate, resulting in
underpayment of taxes to the City of Spokane Valley. City Manager Mercier said staff researched the
legality of not collecting taxes and discovered that back taxes must be collected; that staff wanted to alert
Council of this issue as the enforcement of this correct rate might catch some operators by surprise; that
we cannot simply forgive taxes, but if a genuine dispute rises, there arc settlement options; however, no
dispute has been raised. it was Council consensus for staff to send letters to those operators explaining
the situation. Mr. Mercier said that staff will get a copy of the County's ordinance to compare with our
local ordinance and can bring this matter back if needed, as a legislative matter.
There being no further business, it was moved by Councilmember Flanigan, seconded, and unanimously
agreed upon to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 8:58 p.m.

1. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 04 -029 Authorizing; Election for Property Tax Levy — Ken
Thompson
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Munson and
seconded by Councilmember Schimmels to approve Ordinance 04 -029. Director Thompson explained
that this proposal is for curb -to -curb paving in relation to the STEP program, which is the change over
from septic tanks to sewer hookups, that by performing the full -width paving, overall road maintenance
would be substantially less expensive; that this ordinance describes the levy which if passed, would only
be for six years and would be limited to six million dollars. It was also mentioned that if the needs of the
City change where the capital improvements are not required, the Council retains the right not to
construct the improvements and to reallocate the funds to other street improvements deemed more
necessary by the Council. Mayor DeVleming invited public comment.
Roger Moore, 3429 S Gillis, Spokane Valley: asked if Council looks at their property tax statements; said
in examining his 2003 and 2004 statements, that we took out more than the County did in 2003, and that
his evaluation did not change.
Thomas Richardsonx, 8915 E. Boone: said last week Council was dealing with targeted areas on the map
but this week it appears we're following behind the County paving after sewers; said he paid taxes to the
County but now the metropolis is paying for the paving, which isn't fair, and suggests use of an RID
where the individual homeowner pays for the improvements, based on a vote on whether to have an RID.
Dorothy Huff, 7125 E. State: said her street was recently tore up; said her taxes are substantially from last
year and she is concerned; is also concerned about curb to curb as some areas have no curbs and she does
not want to pay for curbs in addition to street paving.
Ron Branke, 13802 E. Main: said he feels we should not put this issue on the ballot; we're asking for
more tax money when there are other areas were the funds should be spent, like cost of food, fuel and
health care; and he feels our priorities are backwards; there arc more important issues to spend money on

than curb to curb blacktop; that. he paid extra for his property because it already had sewer, if this passes it
appears he would be paying for it again and questioned why we incorporated because a promise was
made that taxes were not going to be raised; and that he cannot support any more tax increases.
Bob Blunt, 12722 East JS` feels this issue should not be put on the ballot; the general information before
incorporation was there would be more revenue than what would be needed and feels if we need more
taxes now than incorporation was a failure.
David Crosby, 2607 N Bowdish: supports this proposal; said any time you see the road cuts and repaved
with patching, that the roads never last; that paving curb -to -curb makes sense and he'd gladly pay the tax
to pay for it and encourages the issue be placed on the ballot.
Mayor DeVleming invited further public comment. No further comments were offered.
Councilmember Denenny emphasized that this ordinance takes the issue to the public; that curb -to -curb
paving means full width paving and not installation of curbs where there are none; that the paving
averages about one million a year and he feels it proper to ask the public if they want those services; that
Council has been frugal with expenses, we realize that revenues are low compared to projections, but
expenses are also down by approximately three million less than the Boundary Review board projections.
Councilmember Munson reiterated that this is not to approve a tax but to put the measure on the ballot
and let the people of the City decide; that putting this issue on the ballot will allow complete public
debate; that the Boundary Review Board gave their best estimate at the time but they simply made a
mistake and we have not reached 75% of the income they projected; that we need to deal with reality and
not place blame.
Councilmember Taylor explained that property taxes were reduced last year from .$1.81 to $1.60; that
various properties were reevaluated and reassessed by the County assessor; that this measure would bring
the tax per $1,000 back to the original value it was so would result in no net change per tax rates; that we
have to take care of the investment we have in our roads and if we don't, it will produce a maintenance
backlog similar to our neighbors to the west; and that putting this measure on the ballot will open the
issue to public debate.
Deputy Mayor Wilhite said she realizes many people are not able to attend these council meetings, and
placing this issue on the ballot will give the community at large the opportunity to be involved in the
discussions and decision.
Mayor DeVleming mentioned that he bought a home which already had sewer; that communities help
create a better community by helping others, and can do so by leveraging these tax dollars now; he
encourages people to drive around communities like 8' and Barker to see what trench filling feels like;
and that he feels this is important to let the community decide the issue.

two meetings and will have another soon just on sign definition; and that they are working hard to make
sure the ordinance will be understandable and easily enforceable. Mr. Crosby said they hope to have the
definitions complete at the next meeting but this portion of the charge has been a challenge as there are
reader boards, electronic signs, changing electronic signs, menu boards, blow -up signs, murals, and more.
Community Development Director Sukup said that Council has the ability to amend the sign regulations
now provided billboards arc not reinstated; that Council adopted the moratorium on billboards but if
Council desires to allow new billboards, it will require an amendment to the comprehensive plan, and that
all this will be discussed during the sign committee meetings. City Manager Mercier stated that this
committee serves at the pleasure of Council, and the charge was to review the current sign codes and
deliver a set of recommendations of what should be retained or changed. Director Sukup said she
anticipates another committee report in September and she assured Council the issue of billboards will not
be overlooked.
7. Clear View Triangles Enforcement Approach — Marina Sukup
Community Development Sukup went through her PowerPoint presentation briefing Council on the issue
of enforcement approaches as a result of the initial report of June 29. City Manager Mercier added that
staff is recommending a series of dimensional requirements different from what we have had, which
would be less aggressive on property owners to meet the standards. Director Sukup reported that some
issues will be seasonal and that she anticipates 600 to 800 cases a year, but that 60% to 80% of people
will comply with regulations when approached to do so. She added that like other enforcement issues, the
system is complaint driven. After further discussion concerning enforcement issues, it was Council
consensus to take this issue to the Planning Commission and let them discuss the issues, gather public
input, and afterwards to bring the recommendations back to Council.

8. Requirements and Schedules for Amending the Comprehensive Plan and /or Development Regulations
— Marina Sukup
City Manager Mercier stated there have been questions raised about what might be done to attend to
problems in the codes and regulations now prior to completion of the comprehensive plan; and it is in
response to those questions that Director Sukup gives this presentation tonight. After Director Sukup
explained her PowerPoint presentation, there was discussion concerning amending the current plan, which
is the interim plan; and that once adopted, our plan cannot be in conflict with the County's plan. Director
Sukup mentioned that WAC requires that development regulations must be enacted by the deadline for
adoption of the comprehensive plan or within six months; that CTED must approve any extension filed
prior to the deadline, and that the 60 -day advance filing with CTED for any development regulation still
applies. City Manager Mercier said that staff will produce larger scale copies of tonight's PowerPoint
presentation so Council can have that information as a reference.
9. Parks and Recreation MasterPlan Update — Mikc Jackson
Parks and Recreation Director Jackson explained that the process is just beginning; that specific issues
will be brought forward later; but that the contract is approved and he and the consulting representative
spent Thursday and Friday looking at facilities and discussing the park conditions and the number of park
properties; they looked at the pools and started discussing pool expanded use; looked at restroom
conditions of some of the parks and discussed replacement and /or maintenance; and that other issues for
future consideration are vending and concessions in parks, radio car club and other special uses by
organizations in city parks and the future of the senior center. Director Jackson stated that they are
working on the questionnaires and are gearing surveys to be community specific; and that he hopes to
have the first issues paper and questionnaires for council review at the August 24 meeting. Director
Jackson said he has had a number of calls concerning public involvement, that there will be at least four
public meetings and many opportunities for public involvement. In response to a question concerning the
horse arena, Director Jackson that that area is still being used several weekends a year and that is a type of
the issue which will be addressed in more detail later.
10. Report on Aquifer Protection Area Interlocal —Neil Kersten
Public Works Director Kersten explained that in January, County Commissioners sent a letter requesting
our consideration for inclusion in the reauthorization of the Aquifer Protection Area. Director Kersten
said that an interlocal has been drafted, and section 2 details the use of the APA funds. After further
discussion concerning the interlocal agreement, it was council consensus for staff to bring this agreement
back for approval consideration at the next council meeting.
1 1. Advance Agenda Additions — Mayor DeVleming
Councilmember Munson suggested adding to the August 10 meeting, a motion consideration supporting
the increase in property tax. Councilmember Taylor said he feels that would be redundant from tonight's
vote. Mayor DeVleming suggested that perhaps it could be added to the August 10 or August 17
meeting. Councilmember Denenny said by voting for this ordinance tonight, he did not indicate support
for the tax, but only supported putting this issue on the ballot.
12. Council Check -in — Dave Mercier
City Manager Mercier said that in searching ways to expedite work on the agenda, staff researched law
and it appears we may be the only community where we take time to read each item on the consent
agenda; that there is nothing in State law mandating reading of the consent agenda, but the City's
Governance Manual states it will be read unless such reading is waived. Mr. Mercier said he proposes
Council consider making a motion to waive the reading and approve the consent agenda, unless prior to
such motion any Councilmember wants to remove any item from the consent agenda for individual
consideration. Mr. Mercier stated that this is merely another mechanism to move through the meeting and
have more time to concentrate on those matters that require policy consideration. Mayor DeVleming
Study Session Minutes 07 -20 -04
Date Approved by Council:
Page 4 ors
DRAFT
mentioned this will be an item for revision consideration later in the Governance Manual, and that at the
council meetings, he will move to waive the reading and approve the consent agenda. Councilmcmber
Munson voiced objection as by not reading, he said we might be give the perception of having the public
know what is on the consent agenda. No other objections to this proposal were voiced.
13. City Manager Comments — Dave Mercier
City Manager Mercier mentioned that there will be a Transportation Improvement Board meeting this
Friday at 9:00 a.m. at the Oxford Suites where there will be a presentation on the Valley Couplet Project;
that the meeting actually begins the preceding day at 2:00 p.m., but the public formal meetings are Friday
morning. In other issues, Mr. Mercier said in an effort to avoid schedule conflicts, we have been sending
out suggested dates for retreats and it appears that since no Saturday in January fit with everyone's
schedule, that February 12, 2005 is a good day for a half -day retreat; and he suggests June 11 as the mid-
term retreat, and encourages Council to give that date consideration and send their date availability to Mr.
Mercier. Mr. Mercier also reported that he received a mailing yesterday from the Spokane Housing
Authority concerning their proposition that they change their composition of board of directors which
would provide an additional position to Spokane Valley. In addition, that Board is considering a name
change to give a more broad representation of what they actually do. Additionally, Mr. Mercier reported
that County Commissioners may have put forward a proposal for the September 14 ballot which would
raise sales taxes 1 /10 of 1% to help defray public safety costs; that there are no other details at this time
but staff will attempt to gather more information to share with Council.
There being no further business, the meeting adjourned at 7:58 p.m.

BACKGROUND: Our Police Department requested that the City adopt a Noise Disturbance
provision to provide the Police with an appropriate tool to combat excessive noise that disturbs
other residents ability quiet enjoyment of their property and well being. The initial discussion
staff had with Council on June 8, 2004, included whether to include noise disturbances on public
property as well to address loud car stereos. Staff is still looking into that, but Police Chief
Walker has urged staff to bring this part forward immediately for consideration due to the
number of noise complaints the Police are receiving. Staff will continue to work on the
remaining issues brought up by Council: noise disturbances on rights -of -way, and to what extent
a city may regulate blasting through a noise disturbance ordinance. These will be brought
forward in October.
OPTIONS: Adopt the proposed Noise Disturbance provisions; not adopt the provisions; request
staff to make further modifications for discussion and review.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Ordinance Amending Open Container law, Ordinance No. 04 - 031.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 8.20.020; RCW 66.44.100
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of 03 -046 in March 2003; Study session on
proposed amendment to open container amendment on June 8, 2004; Administrative Report to
Council on July 13, 2004; First Reading 7- 20 -04.
BACKGROUND: The current open container provision, when presented to the Council for
adoption prior to incorporation, was inadvertently listed as a misdemeanor offense. State law
does not list that as a misdemeanor offense, and staff has been unable to find another city in
Washington that lists that action as a misdemeanor offense.
Staff has drafted a revision based upon Spokane County's currently adopted provision, which is
consistent with what many cities in Washington have adopted. The fine under the current City
provision is $100. To be consistent with that previously stated intent, staff contacted Court staff
to determine what infraction fine level would be appropriate to charge, when considered with
court costs and fees that are added by the Court, to reach an approximate fine of $100. If the
amended provision states a fine of $50 plus court costs and fees, the total paid for a person in
violation would be $103.00. As such, staff suggests that inclusion in the ordinance a fine in the
amount of $50 plus court costs and fees.
RCW 66.44.100, which is attached to this RCA, states that violations shall result in a Class 3
infraction, which under state law is a $50.00 fine, plus court costs and fees. This is the amount
suggested by staff in the proposed draft. Given this, there does not appear to be any discretion
in the amount of the fine.

container of liquor in a public place is guilty of an infraction and fined
fifty dollars, plus applicable court costs and fees. This provision shall not
apply to containers kept in the trunk of a vehicle or in an area of the

compartment or glove compartment is deemed to be within the area
occupied by the driver and passengers. This provision does not apply to
passengers in a public conveyance that is commercially chartered for
group use or a for -hire vehicle licensed under city, county or state law.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, sentence or clause of this
chapter is for any reason held to be invalid, such decision shall not affect the validity of

Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent X old business new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information admin. report X pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : First reading of an ordinance amending the city's business registration
system
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Ordinance 34 adopted a business registration system for the
City of Spokane Valley in March of 2003.
BACKGROUND: The city has a database of 2900+ registered businesses. While we still have
work to do to identify businesses operating within our city limits, we need to begin planning for
the first renewal of registrations, and the registration of new 2004 businesses.
At the June 1, council meeting, the city council tentatively decided to use the Washington State
Department of Licensing to register and renew city licenses and to include nonprofits at a
reduced fee.
At the June 22, council meeting, the city council indicated that 2003 costs should not be
recovered and the city fee should be $13 /year for businesses and $3 /year for nonprofits. The
state's fee would remain at $9 /year.
The city council also directed staff to prepare an amending ordinance incorporating the
recommended fees, the inclusion of nonprofits and the use of the Washington State Department
of Licensing System for joint registration.
We have also expanded the city's definition of °business" to include all those activities that
require licensing or registration with the state.
Additional changes to the original ordinance include exemptions for individuals selling farm
products raised or grown on their farms, and internet or wireless phone services where the
provider operates from premises located outside our city. We have also included a late fee
provision used by the Department of Licensing to keep our process similar to the state system.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: A motion to forward the ordinance to the August 10
council meeting for a second reading is recommended.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Ongoing city costs to register businesses in 2005, and
recovery of costs spent in 2004, are expected to total about $29,000 each year. A city
business registration fee of $13 /year will pay for these costs. A financial review would be
scheduled for 2007 with changes implemented in 2008.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed ordinance establishing Section 4.15.1 Residential
Standards and Section 4.15.2 Non - Residential Dimensional
Standards of the Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code. The
proposal consolidates and modifies regulations concerning height, area
and setbacks* contained in the Interim Zoning Code, deletes obsolete
and /or non -urban provisions, provides for severability and effective
date.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.63.105, WAC 365- 195 -845, WAC 365- 195 -855,
Spokane Valley Ordinance 03 -53
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on interim development
regulations requiring review on April 6, 2004 and
on this issue on May 4, 2004. The Planning
Commission was briefed on the proposed
standards on July 8, 2004, and held a public
hearing on July 22, 2004.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan pursuant
to Ordinance No. 03 -52, subsequently adopting the Zoning Code of Spokane County as interim
development regulations for the new city (Ordinance 03 -53). The interim Zoning Code includes
many regulations which do not apply within urban areas and other regulations which staff has
suggested should be amended to eliminate redundancy, ambiguity and conflicts in enforcement.
The proposed amendment would consolidate dimensional standards for development into two
tables, residential and non - residential. The proposal would also amend residential dimensional
standards as follows:
1. Front yard setbacks: reduced to fifteen feet from 25 feet, measured from the property
line or the edge of the border easement.
2. Garage setbacks: twenty feet, added to allow parking within the driveway which does not
overhang public right -of -way or border easements.
3. Side yard setbacks: reduced to a flat five feet.
4. Side yard setbacks (flanking street): reduced to fifteen feet. A significant portion of the
Administrative Exceptions relate to side yard setbacks on corner Tots.
5. Rear Yards: the minimum size of rear yard would be increased from 15 feet to 20 feet
for single - family and duplex developments only.
6. Minimum lot sizes and other dimensional requirements within Planned Unit
Developments (PUDs) have been deleted.
There is no change proposed for setback requirements of any accessory structure. Rural
residential zoning classifications SRR -5, R -5, SRR -1, SR -1 and SR -112 are repealed as
inappropriate for urban development and because no property within the corporate limits
presently maintains this zoning classification. Rural Residential -10 is retained only because of
existing property retains this designation.
Administrative Report
Dimensional Standards
Page 2 of 2
No changes to the non - residential dimensional standards are proposed. The repealing clause
would delete a provision which requires a minimum separation between Neighborhood Business
(B -1) zones of 2,640 feet, unless it is within 100 feet of another B -1 zone. The Interim
Comprehensive Plan encourages the location of business clusters rather than arterial strip
development, although there is no specific reference in the Comprehensive Plan that the
spacing of these zones is designed to accomplish this objective nor any evidence that the
requirement is intended to accomplish this objective.
The proposed amendment in the Interim Development Regulations is subject to review by the
Department of Community Trade and Economic Development. The Environmental Checklist
was completed on May 20, 2004 and a Determination of Non - Significance (DNS) issued.
Appeals to the DNS should be submitted not later than June 11, 2004.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed ordinance Amending Ordinance 03 -053 relating to
Administrative Exceptions and Administrative Variances.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70, Spokane Valley Ordinance 03 -53
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on interim development
regulations requiring review on April 6, 2004. The
Planning Commission was briefed on July 8, 2004.
Planning Commission held a public hearing on
July 22, 2004.
BACKGROUND: The City Council adopted the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan pursuant
to Ordinance No. 03 -52, subsequently adopting the Zoning Code of Spokane County as interim
development regulations for the new city (Ordinance 03 -53). Included in the latter was a new
section (14.404.090 Administrative Variances) which ostensibly granted additional discretion for
administrative approvals to building setback, height and lot area requirements. Unfortunately,
"variances" are narrowly defined in both state law and the Interim Development Regulations and
require notice to adjacent property owners and a public hearing before the Hearing Examiner,
effectively precluding administrative approvals. This discrepancy is resolved by amending
Section 14.506 Administrative Exception to include the provisions originally addressed in
14.404.090 Administrative Variance and repealing that provision.
In reviewing Chapter 14.506 Administrative Exception provisions relating to "Arterial /Overlay
Zones" and "Future Acquisition areas° are obsolete. These provisions are deleted but intent
was preserved in a new subsection 10 in 14.506.020 which identifies Administrative Exceptions
as also applicable to improved properties adversely impacted by voluntary dedication of rights -
of -way, eminent domain proceedings or purchase of right -of -way by the City, County, State or
Federal agency.
A determination of Non - Significance was issued on May 6, 2004 and a draft proposal was
submitted to CTED and other agencies for their review on May 10, 2004.

Council Survey Results
Nina Regor, Deputy City Manager

an existing building, or continue to lease?
What is the preferred area for a new City
Hall?

to include in a new City Hall?
Council unanimously agreed that:
City Hall should be located along the Sprague
Corridor

community, to spur redevelopment or to help define
the City's identity (5 of 7)
Spokane Valley should retrofit an existing building for
a new City Hall (5 of 7)
City Hall should include public art (6 of 7)

finalized. The actual cost of the parks contract was about $12,000 less than originally
estimated. It should be noted that during the first couple of months of incorporation, the
City underpaid on the parks contract, and must also reimburse the County for parks utility
bills that were initially sent to and paid by them. As a result, the City owes the County a
net $83,000 for parks services. The actual cost of the law enforcement contract was
$47,000 less than originally estimated. Reconciliation of the 2003 court contract is still
outstanding; however, the City and the County have agreed on the methodology for
calculating usage and the 2004 costs. The City budgeted $910,000 for 2004 court costs,
and is now expected to expend about $655,000. These adjustments will be made on the
July invoice.
Committees
• Salary Commission. The Salary Commission has proposed a salary schedule for the
Mayor and Council, and has completed a first draft of its report. According to the
provisions of the City ordinance, the Commission will submit its report to the City Clerk
by August 2, 2004. Following the City Clerk's publication, there is a thirty day
referendum period.
Op erations
• Reorganization in Community Development Department — Recruitment Phase. The City
received eleven applications for the Senior Planner position, and intend to interview four
candidates on July 30. The City received fifteen applicants for the Permit Specialist
position, and intends to interview four candidates on August 2.

During the last 30 days Finance employees worked on the following projects:
Reports showing a comparison of fund revenues and expenditures to our 2004 amended
budget at June 30, 2004, are attached. If revenues and expenditures flowed to the City
equally over the twelve months, we would expect to see 50% in the right -hand column.
Revenues and expenditures do not flow equally in twelve monthly installments so the
percentages appearing in the right hand column will often be skewed. Overall, revenues
and expenditures are in line with our projections.
Sue Pearson continues to send out letters searching for businesses that might be operating
in our city but have not registered with us. She has letters in the mail to businesses on our
sales tax listing but who have not yet registered. She is also pursuing contractors who
secure permits in our city but are not registered.
As Sue enters new businesses into our database, she will also be recording which
businesses store hazardous materials.
We are also working with the state to identify nonprofit organizations within our city
limits.
2005 budget process
The calendar anticipates budget adoption in early November. Hearings are scheduled for
September 14 to review 2005 projected revenues and for October 12 and 26 to review
proposed expenditures.
Quarterly gambling tax returns
We have notified businesses operating pulltab and punchboard games that the tax is 5% of
gross rather than 5% of net proceeds. This results in additional tax due to the City. We
also advised operators we will be sending them a bill for the balance due.
Bond measure on ballot for Septic Tank Elimination Projects
The City Council will consider placing a Bond issue on the September 14 ballot for
continuation of a program that provides full -width pavement over newly installed sewer
lines. These bonds would be retired from a new property tax, yet to be approved by the
voters. This program would provide a solid, no -seam cap above sewer trenches which
would provide better protection against the weather and would prolong the life of the
street. Staff has spent several days working out the details of this program. The council
will consider a second reading of the ordinance on July 20.
Cost recovery
Staff has allocated costs directly associated with programs and services, to those activities.
Indirect costs will be allocated to programs and services in the coming year. This process
enables us to identify the costs of providing these programs. Program and service fees
charged by the city will then be compared to the allocated costs to determine if city
fees pay the cost of providing related programs and services. This information can be
helpful in setting our fees for services and programs.

FOOTNOTES
Note: 1. Property taxes are due in two equal installments on April 30 and October 31. The
majority of revenues from property taxes is received on May 10 and November 10.
2. Gambling taxes and franchise fees are due quarterly with the second quarter due July 31th.
3. State shared revenues (liquor) are received quarterly on succeeding months.
4 Over one -half this revenue will be paid to the state. This revenue was budgeted at the amount which will
be retained by the city. Actual receipts include the state share.
5 A more conservative approach to expanding recreational programs will result in less
income and less expense than anticipated
6 Revenues were not listed in the 2004 budget because they were expected in late 2003.
The next budget amendment will correct this oversight
7 These funds are used primarily for capital projects. Cash is not actually moved from
these funds (expenditures) to the construction funds until needed
8 Capital projects often take a number of years to plan, engineer, acquire right of way and
construct. While the projects budgeted will eventually proceed, we should not expect
costs to flow evenly throughout the year.
9 60% of this budget is tied to potential construction projects which are not yet underway.
1 Annual city insurance premiums are paid in January
11 Internal journal entry will be made twice /year
12 Vehicle purchased in early 2004 which represents a large part of budget
13 Internal transfer made in early 2004 to pay for city insurance
14 New construction projects are exceeding our estimates

DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT
MONTHLY REPORT FOR JUNE 2004
Planning Commission
During the month of June, the Long Range Planning Division met twice with the
Planning Commission at regular meetings on June 10 and 24 At the June 10
meeting, staff provided an overview of the Capital Facilities Element of the
Comprehensive Plan. On June 24 staff provided a briefing on a number of upcoming
hearing items, including:
Staff also presented an overview of the Economic Development Chapter of the
Comprehensive Plan.
Community Meetings
The Long Range Division hosted two more Comprehensive Plan Community workshops
in the month of June. The City's fourth workshop was held in the Greenacres
Elementary School Gym on June 2, 2004. Over 85 neighborhood citizens participated
in the event.
The City's fifth workshop was held at Spokane Valley Church of the Nazarene on June
17th. Over 40 neighborhood citizens participated in this event to help the City of
Spokane Valley develop a 20 -year plan for growth and development.
Participants at both meetings were welcomed and introduced to City officials and staff
who were present. A slide show was presented to provide participants with an overview
of the Comprehensive Plan process. Then each table of participants was assigned a
"recorder' and individuals were asked to spend a few minutes writing down the top three
City -Wide and Neighborhood issues they would each address if they were "Mayor for a
Day ". Individuals were then asked to take turns discussing each of their concerns with
fellow group members until the group developed a list of three top City -Wide issues and
three top Neighborhood issues to present to the larger group at the end of the meeting.
Comprehensive Plan Amendments
The deadline to submit Comprehensive Plan amendments was July 1, 2004. The Long
Range Division received 6 amendments for land use designation changes on individual
properties. One proposed change to the Arterial Road Plan map was also submitted. A
public hearing on the amendments will likely be conducted in August, 2004.

In 22 business days we performed 918 inspections. This averages out to just over 41
inspections per day. Plans Examiner Taylor and On -Call Inspector Calasopa combined for 27
inspections, so our two full -time inspectors accomplished this workload pretty much by
themselves. Inspector Calasopa has decided to become more of a full -time retired inspector
and has headed for Alaska for two or three months.
We have responded to this need by advertising for inspection assistance and have developed
a list of potential on -call employees. The more liberal use of this labor pool should reduce our
inspection overload and make our inspection workload more tenable, increasing our customer
service levels and making our inspections more accurate.
Three Building Division staff members attended a one -day seminar covering the enforcement

DATE: July 14, 2004
Attached is the activity report . for June for the Spokane Valley Police Department. There
were a total of 5,365 computer -aided dispatch (CAD) incidents. These are self- initiated
officer contacts, as well as calls for service. Out of those 5,365 incidents, 1,664 actual
reports were taken during the month of June. Attached is the breakdown describing those
incidents. Additionally, there were 1,503 traffic stops conducted that resulted in 186
traffic reports. I have included hotspot maps for June residential burglaries, June traffic
accidents and June commercial burglaries, along with May and June stolen vehicles,
• President Bush formally recognized June 11, 2004 as a Day of Remembrance for
Former President Ronald Reagan. The staffing levels for the Spokane Valley
Police Department went to minimums to reduce the impact on overtime.
• SIRT, the SCOPE incident Response Team, staged a mock collision during its
June 19th training at the Spokane Valley Precinct. The exercise is designed to
train and qualify volunteers interested in joining the program. SIRT members are
SCOPE volunteers who respond to collisions and other major Sheriff's Office and
Spokane Valley Police incidents. They are assigned special vehicles that contain
signs flagging equipment and other items used to redirect traffic at crashes and
crime scenes. In March 2004 SIRT had 29 members, 23 of whom are certified to
flag and provide other emergency service. They provided the Sheriff's Office and
Spokane Valley Police 1,488 hours of standby service, and responded to six
incidents with 15 members, saving the two law enforcement. agencies 48.5 man -
hours. The team is typically more active in summer months.
• Communications and SCOPE Volunteers held a rummage sale on June 5 at the
Spokane Valley Precinct to benefit Hayden Stipe's battle against cerebral palsy.
Hayden Stipe is the three- year -old son of Deputy Steven Stipe and his wife
Becky. Hayden was born three months prematurely and suffers from cerebral
palsy. He cannot walk or even sit up without help. The family has arranged for
intensive therapy in Poland, the cost of which is very high. Sheriff's

Communications Supervisor Carol Ilerrmann arranged the yard sale as a means
for the Spokane County law enforcement community to support Hayden's battle
with this disease. The fundraiser brought in approximately 52,000.00.
OPERATIONS
♦ A 22 -year -old Spokane Valley man, Patrick David Vaughn, was sentenced to 41
months in federal prison on (2) counts of Felon in Possession of a Firearm. On
October 17, 2003, members of the SVPD, the SCSO Gang Unit, members of the
ATF /SCSO Firearms Task Force and Washington Department of Corrections
were mobilized because University HS School Resource Deputy Jeff Duncan
received a tip that a fight involving a firearm was to occur at 32 and Pines just
as University High School was to let out for the day. Officers identified Vaughn
as one of the suspects possessing firearms. Further investigation by SVPD
Officers and SCSO Detective Mike Ricketts, a member of the firearms task force,
discovered a loaded .380 semi- automatic pistol in his car, an SKS semi - automatic
rifle, and more than 40 grams of marijuana in his home, and an admission by
Vaughn to possessing both firearms and conducting several drug robberies on
high school -aged drug dealers in the Spokane Valley.
♦ A knife - wielding man confronted SVPD Officers Michael Wall and Griffen
Criswell. William A. Danley, 43 years old, was destroying his sister's duplex.
Officers confronted Danley, who was armed with an 8 -inch kitchen knife. Danley
dropped the knife after officers had him at gunpoint, but continued to fight
officers. After two applications of the Taser, Danley gave up. Investigation
revealed Danley had written a suicide note and was contemplating `suicide by
cop.' Danley was booked on Second Degree Assault and Resisting arrest.
♦ On June 6, the SVPD participated in the 11 Annual Loreen Miller Bike event.
More than 500 riders participated in this event, which raised nearly 550,000 for
Cancer Patient Care. Master of Ceremonies at this event was our own Chief
Walker, and it included participation by SCOPE / SIRT/ Spokane County Fire
District 4 / MedStar and many others. We look forward to participating in this
worthy cause in the future.
♦ SVPD officers patrolling the Centennial Trail located a wanted felon on June 15,
but the suspect ran and jumped into the Spokane River before they could take him
into custody. The incident began about 5:50 p.m. when Bike Unit Deputies Jesse
Depriest and Jeff Bergeron encountered Dustin A. Christensen, 28 years old, on
the Centennial Trail. The armed career criminal - qualified felon ran from the
deputies and jumped into the river. When he was swept away, the deputies
called the sheriff's Marine Unit to assist in his rescue. Christensen left his
backpack on the trail and the deputies quickly learned his identity and that he was
wanted on a Department of Corrections detainer for Escape From Community
Custody. Christensen made it to the north shore near Kaiser and was arrested as
he attempted to hide in bushes.
2
♦ On June 18, our motorcycle / traffic officers provided a "kick -off' escort for
another fundraiser in which Wishing Star and Lydig Construction held a
sponsored motorcycle ride to southern California and back. They raised over
$17,000 for children with life - threatening illnesses. Chief Walker and Deputies
Tom Werner and Eric Epperson rode three of our new Harley Davidson
motorcycles in escorting the group on the start of the ride.
♦ On June 28, Sheriff's detectives arrested a 23- year -old Spokane man, Brian W.
Frawley, for a vicious Spokane Valley rape that occurred last April, and on .June
29 requested he be charged with First Degree Murder for the January 2004
disappearance and homicide of Margaret Cordova. Detective John Grandinetti
went to the jail and charged Frawley with First Degree Kidnapping, two counts of
First Degree Rape and one count of Second Degree Robbery With Sexual
Motivation for his involvement in the April 18 kidnap and rape of a 25 -year -old
Spokane woman. Detectives Tim Hines and Fred Ruetsch were investigating the
homicide of Margaret M. Cordova, a 20- year -old Spokane woman whose body
was discovered at a landscaping company's dumpsite February 22. A referral
charging Frawley for First Degree Murder was delivered to the Spokane County
Prosecutor's Office.
2004 Spokane County Sheriff's Office Awards Ceremony
Unit Merit Citation —
Lt. Chan Bailey, Sgts. George Wigen and Chris Kehl, Dets. Mark Werner, Don
McCabe, Dave Herrin, Brad Richmond, Dan Blashill, Jim Wakefield, Dave
Knechtel, Jay 1 EcNall, Deputies Jack Rosenthal, William McCrillis, Erick Nelson,
Mark Smoldt, and Air Force Sergeant Richard Maysonet.
In 2001 Spokane County started seeing a crush of methamphetamines abuse, and in 2002
the county was hit hard by a staggering increase in local methamphetamines production.
The unit responsible for combating this drug trend was the Spokane County Investigative
Support Unit.
In 2002 the unit processed 525 felony methamphetamines cases, made 314 felony arrests,
executed 158 search warrants and processed 190 meth labs and meth dumpsites. These
numbers represent a meth lab raided and destroyed every other day. During this period,
team members were exposed to numerous high -risk and potentially life threatening
situations and substances without incurring a single significant injury.
The team further impacted M:ethamphetamines trade and use in Spokane County by
making 68 presentations to educate citizens and cultivate a cooperative effort between
businesses and law enforcement to combat the growing problem.
In 2003 and again this year, the numbers of meth labs discovered in Spokane County
have fallen drastically. Credit must be given to the members of the Investigative Support
Unit for their ongoing comtnitment to target methamphetamines, the drug largely
responsible for much of the property crime in Spokane County.
3
In 2003 the Meth Lab Unit was presented Honorable Mention in the national "Top Cops"
program, the only award given to a Washington State law enforcement agency. For their
successful efforts to curb the use and manufacture of this dangerous drug in Spokane
County, the Spokane County Sheriff's Office awarded them the Unit Merit Citation.
Lifesaving Medal --
Deputy Jerad Kiehn (of the SVPD) — On April 7, 2003 at about 11:50 p.m., Deputy
Kiehn came upon a two -car collision at Sprague and Argonne. A westbound KIA Rio
had collided with a southbound Nissan Stanza. The KIA was smoking and had a large
pool of liquid forming beneath it.
As he arrived, Deputy Kiehn saw an injured passenger trying to roll away from the car
across the southbound lanes. Cars were swerving around the man to avoid hitting him.
Kiehn ran to the man who was bleeding from head injuries and unable to walk. The
deputy yelled at another man to help him carry the injured passenger out of the roadway.
The other man, later identified as the driver, walked to a nearby retaining wall, threw
down a beer and walked away.
Kiehn was able to pull the victim out of the roadway on his own, and then ran to the now-
burning car. He spotted a passenger slumped over in the right rear passenger seat. He
yelled to the man to get out, but the passenger did not respond. The fire was growing
larger and there were loud popping noises coming from beneath the vehicle.
Deputy Kiehn reached through the shattered window, unlocked the door, grabbed the
passenger beneath his arms and dragged him out of the burning car and to the sidewalk.
Shortly afterward, other deputies and a WSP trooper arrived and put out the fire with
portable fire extinguishers. The driver of the KIA was later identified and charged with
DUI and Reckless Driving.
Had not Deputy Kiehn set aside concern for his personal safety, not once but twice, the
injured passenger might have been struck by other vehicles and the unconscious man
inside the burning car might have suffered serious or fatal burns.
For his immediate action to save a human life under extraordinary circumstances, the
Spokane County Sheriff's Office awarded Deputy Jerad Kiehn the Lifesaving Medal.

by the City Council on October 28, 2003, as recommended by the
Planning Commission. The amendments were subsequently appealed to
the Eastern Washington Growth Management Hearings Board by the City
of. Liberty Lake. Liberty Lake cited a procedural error where the Spokane
Valley failed to notify the Washington State Office of Community Trade
and Economic Development (CTED) at least 60 days prior to adoption of
the amendments per R.CW 36.70A.106. The purpose of this Planning
Commission hearing is to satisfy the Hearings Board decision and the
procedural requirement of RCW 36.70A.160.
Public Hearing for CPA -03 -01 was opened at 6:45 p.m.
CPA- 03 -01: The subject property is located on the north side of
Montgomery Avenue about 300 feet west of Argonne Road with a
street address of 8915 E. Montgomery Avenue, Spokane, Washington.
The site is currently developed with a commercial car wash facility,
self- storage and outdoor storage for trucks and recreational vehicles.
Greg McCormick, Long Range Planning Manager, explained that the
property owner requested a change in land use designation from Low
Density Residential to Regional Commercial and a change in zoning
2
designation from Urban Residential 7 (UR -7) to Regional Business (13 -3).
The subject property was zoned commercial in 1970, but was rezoned
under the recent Spokane County Comprehensive Plan and subsequent
Phase I Zoning process.
The original staff recommendation, which was adopted by City Council,
was to change land use designation to Community Center and apply the
Cotnniunity Business (13-2) zone.
Public testimony for CPA -03 -01 was opened at 6:52 p.m.
Public Testimony:
Alfred C. Bevacqua, 8820 E. Montgomery, Spokane Valley, WA
Mr. Bevacqua is an opponent of CPA- 03 -01. He testified during the
September 11, 2003 hearing with regard to trucks parking on the street
across from his residence. At that time, Mr. Bevacqua provided the
Commission copies of a letter dated December 7, 2000, written to Mr.
Brumback by James Richardson, Associate Planner of Spokane County,
addressing code violation complaints. He also provided a letter dated
August 28, 2003, outlining his personal reasons for opposing CPA- 03 -01,
along with a number of photos of trucks parked along his street. Since the
City Council adopted the Planning Commission's recommendation for
CPA- 03 -01, 18- wheelers have been driving down his street and it has
become even more dangerous for children and elderly pedestrians. I-le
strongly recommended that the Planning Commission vote against CPA -
03 -01.
Public testimony for CPA -03 -02 was closed at 6:58 p.m..
A motion was node by Commissioner Robertson and seconded by
Commissioner Crosby to recorninend the following Staff
Recommendation for CPA -03 -01 to City Council: Change land use
designation to Community Center, with zoning of Community Business
(B -2). The motion was seconded by Commissioner Crosby. Motion
passed unanimously.
Commissioner Gothmann suggested that Mr. Bevacqua's concerns about
traffic should be handled by the City's Traffic Division, Police
Department, or other authority. it is not a good situation for residents in
this area. Perhaps developing a NO PARKING ZONE. on one side of the
street would help.
Public Hearing for CPA -03 -01 was ended at 7:02 p.m.
3
Public Hearing for CPA -03 -02 was opened at 7:03 p.m.
CPA- 03 -02: The subject property is located on the south side of

approximately 3 acres in size. Subject property is currently vacant.
Mr. McCormick explained that the applicant requested a change of land
use designation from Neighborhood Commercial to Regional Commercial
and zoning from Neighborhood Business (B -1) to Regional Business (B-
3). The main issue concerning this property is the potential impact
commercial development will have on the Dishman Hills Natural Area,
located south of the site.
The original staff recommendation, which was adopted by City Council,
was to designate the property Community Commercial and apply the
Community Business (B -2) zone.
Public testimony for CPA -03 -02 was opened at 7:06 p.m.

Robertson voted in favor of the motion. Chairman Gothmann opposed.
Motion passed 5-1.
Commissioner Gothmann stated that he would personally prefer the site to
remain a 13-1 zone because of his concern for the Dishman Hills area.
Commissioner Kogle reminded him of the staff's earlier assurance to the
Commission that numerous environmental testing would be required
before development on that land to insure continued integrity of
surrounding property.
Public Hearing for CPA -03 -02 was closed at 7:07 p.m.

use designation from High Density Residential to Light Industrial and a
change of zoning from Urban Residential (UR -22) to Light Industrial (I-
2).

was for a land use designation change to Light Industrial, with a zone
change to Light Industrial (I -2).

13, Township 25 North, Range 43 EWM. It is comprised of
approximately 2.57 acres and is currently developed with an enclosed
golf practice facility.
Mr. McCormick explained that the subject property was overlooked
during the County's 2002 Comprehensive Plan update, and was therefore
changed from Regional Commercial with a zoning designation of
Regional Business (B -3) to Low Density Residential with a zoning of
Urban Residential 7 (UR -7). This resulted in the existing use becoming
"nonconforming".

change of zoning to Light Industrial (i -2).

motion to recommend Council approval of the CPA -03 -04 Staff
Recommendation to change land use designation to Light Industrial and

hearing card:
Vern Cox, 18419 E. Boone, Spokane Valley, WA
Public Testimony for CPA -03 -07 was ended at 8:13 p.m.
Applicant Response:
John Peterson, E. 8412 Sprague, Spokane, WA
Mr. Peterson spoke on behalf of the applicants, Mr. Pring and Mr. 1"onani.
He wished to restate his prior hearing pleadings by urging the Planning
Commission to correct a 2002 zoning mistake that changed the subject
property from Industrial 2 (I -2) to Urban Residential 7 (UR -7). The
applicants would like to have more options for their land, and UR -22
would offer that flexibility. Mr. Peterson doesn't think the owners should
be denied the same zoning consideration that property owners on the other
side of the freeway have been given.
Cornmsssioner Blum moved to recommend a change to the land
designation of the west portion of the property to High Density
Residential, with Urban Residential 22 (UR -22) zoning; and a change to
the eastern portion of the property to Community Commercial with a
Business 2 (B -2) zoning. Commissioner Carroll seconded the motion.
Commissioners Blum, Carroll, Kogle, Gothmann and Robertson voted in
favor of the motion. Commissioner Crosby opposed. Motion passed 5 -1.

character with the present neighborhood. The subject property doesn't
have Barker Road frontage. There was a brief discussion about the pros
and cons of this recommended change.

Public Comment:
Doug Kelley, Representing Avista Utilities, 1411 E. Mission, Spokane.

confusion.
Dan Villalobos, Representing Inland Power & Light, 320 E. 2nd

Customer use measures
The rate of year -to -date circulation decrease declined once again in June - in other words, it seems to
be gradually evening out. Year -to -date circulation is now down only 1 %, compared to minus 3% in
May, with June 2004 circulation higher than June 2003's in most bra.nches. Reference statistics also
improved somewhat year -to -elate from last month, down 11.1% as opposed to 12 %.
We continue to see increased use of Internet workstations, although at some point it has to max out as
there are only so many open hours in the day: bookings are up 13% over the same period last year.
Program attendance is up 3 %, with a 6% increase in programs and group visits. The door count is
slightly higher, up 2 %. In May we ad.ded 1,127 new cardholders; in June that number rose to 1,521.

At branches serving Spokane Valley residents...
Regionally, Region It
Circulation figures in all Region 11 libraries except Otis Orchards are up from last year at this time:
Argonne by 18.4%, Fairfield by 15.8%, Moran Prairie by 16.1 %, and Valley by 3.6%. Otis is down
3.9%. There were 876 library card registrations during June, with Valley, Argonne, and Moran Prairie
leading with 527, 171, and 100 respectively.
A consequence of summer is a rise in heat related damage charges. We have already had several heat
related damages, including one cassette that had taken on a form of its own and will no longer fit in a
cassette player. We do our best to remind folks to protect their materials from heat damage on 80
days.
Information services /adult services staff took on weeding projects at Argonne. Adult programs are
on summer hiatus —a good thing, as sum.mer reading has cranked into high gear at the same time
information services staff have been covering for illness in the region.
In Youth Services, June means that school is out, the Summer Reading program begins, and kids
(mostly with their parents) flock to the library.
Argonne (Judy Luck, branch supervisor): There was a busy start to summer reading, with good
turnouts for story times, the Nature Journal program (12), and the mad scientist (Up, Up, and Away)
program (28). Our book displays are full of great summer reads and staff favorites. In our display
cabinet, we had a travel display with postcards from all over the world, maps, memorabilia, and
travel books. Local artist James l3attell brought in several works to display in the cabinet for the rest
of the summer. They truly are one of a kind, and we are getting lots of people looking, and nice
comments.
Otis Orchards (Bev Bergstrom, branch supervisor): There was a nice size group for our first Summer
Reading Program. The children really enjoyed the story and the Nature Journals —which had an
attendance of 54. The Summer Reading Logs are being turned in and books chosen at a steady pace.
On the other hand, when one small boy signed up for summer reading and realized he was
committed to read(or have read to him) 15 books, his face got long and he said, "Oh, man, I shoulda
said 'no ' and he started to cry. His mom walked him away trying to convince him it would be fun.
He was still mumbling, "oh, n0000" as he walked out the door. There has been a positive response to
the Reading for fine Forgiveness program with lots of forms handed out, bu.t as of yet no one has
turned in a completed report.
Valley (Ellen Miller, regional manager): The first summer reading programs had huge attendance:
165 for the afternoon Nature Journal program, 152 for Booksnack Backpacks, and 60 for the Up, Up,
and Away science program. 27 attended the evening Nature Journal program. For Clue Done It VII -
The Disappearance of Angela Day, 22 teens enjoyed an afternoon of ice cream sandwich sundaes and
sleuthing. About half at each branch figured out who kidnapped Angela Day, and received a free
paperback book for figuring out who the kidnapper was.
Valley's highest circulation was 2,894 on June 14. The self - checkout average for the month was 38%.
There was a staff favorite's display, and one for the "Golfing and Gals" adult summer reading list. A
Spokesman- Review article on the Spokane Valley Arts Council featured a photo of the painting exhibit
at Valley Library (color in the Valley edition; black and white in other editions).
Outreach: The raining was pouring, but that didn't stop several. Argonne customers from
volunteering to help pass out pencils to the sparse crowd gathered for the West Valley Days parade
on the 5th. The Outreach van was decked out in banners and we did receive several cheers. The
Page 2 of 6
weather was much more cooperative the following Saturday at the annual Flag Day Parade in
Fairfield.
This month, notices were sent to Outreach customers explaining the new loan period if materials are
check out at a branch library. So far we have not received negative comments back. The Summer
Newsletter was sent out causing a rash of calls. Circulation was up 19.7 %.
Outreach services coordinator Doug Stumbough moved to the IT department's web services
specialist position effective June 16, leaving a vacancy to be filled m July.
Friends of the Library
The Argonne Friends met in early June. The organizers of the new Valley Library Friends group are
planning a mid to late - summer meeting of those who expressed interest at the M ay open house.
COLLECTION SERVICES
Library materials
We processed 5,644 items and remain well ahead of this time last year —by 8,283 items. Publishing
drops during the summer so ordering is lighter. Total print and non -print materials additions year -
to -date total 35,101 and deletions were 48,117, for a net decrease of 13,016. However, more items
were added then deleted in June, so the collection size is once again beginning to grow.
We placed an order for adult foreign language books i.n most of our current languages (Spanish,
Russian, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Vietnamese) and in Hindi which we're including for the first
time. The titles will be a combination of fiction and non - fiction. A number of children's books in
Russian were ordered several months ago.
We put in, and began receiving, another large adult audiobook order designed for "summer
reading." Our large paperback orders continue to come in and go out also.
We received a long - awaited shipment of about 1,300 music CDs as part of a class action industry
settlement agreement. Contrary to what was to have been the case, there are multiple copies of
several (multiple meaning up to 57 of one title and 30 of others), which are useless to a library with 10
branches. Theoretically, libraries in the state are supposed to swap with each other —an interesting
logistical and staff time issue.
Programming
Adult programming plans were made for a series of five programs on Sacagawea in September.
Youth services coordinator Thom Barthelmess began doing weekly toddler storyti.mes at North
Spokane, began scheduling the fall puppet shows, began work on the first set of Child Care Packet
revision requests, and prepared the Suinrner Reading S'More Songs program he will perform at all
branches in July.
Miscellaneous
• Thom and Lyn responded to several customers' concerns: one about a picture book, one about a
teen graphic novel series, one about an adult video, and one about two adult magazines.
• Thom attended ALA and executed his duties as a member of the 2005 Newbery Committee.
• Thom and Spokane Public Library's youth services coordinator were interviewed about Summer
Reading on KXLY. Lyn was interviewed by KREM about the CDs we received from the record
companies in response to the Attorney General's lawsuit. The CD selection is not very good:
many are remainders; many are Christmas music; and many titles have copies too numerous to be
useful.

• We're requesting information on interlibrary loan practices and staffing to several library systems
in the state to use in reviewing our ILL operations.
ADMINISTRATION
Moran Prairie project
Bond sale
The MPLCFA bond sale closed on June 3 and the proceeds ($2,326,25630 after issuance and
underwriting costs) were wire- transferred to the MPLCFA account in the County Treasurer's Office.
With approval of the establishment of an MPLCFA checking account at the June 15 Board of Trustees'
meeting, we're able to reimburse SCLD's prior expenses and begin paying bills with MPLCFA funds.
Due to the nature of these bonds, they are "qualified tax - exempt obligations" under the IRS code and
certain banks, thrift institutions, and other financial institutions are allowed a deduction of 80% of the
portion of the institution's interest expense allocable to the interest on the bonds. This status makes
them attractive investments for local financial institutions, and as a result, AmericanWest Bank, Bank
of Fairfield, and Inland Northwest Ba.nk each purchased a portion of the bonds.
Library design
The project committee and architects met twice in June prior to the Board of Trustees meeting and
once afterwards to review and discuss schematic design progress for the site plan and floor plan.
The June 8 schematic design open house attracted about two dozen Moran Prairie area residents to
team about the plans and make written and oral comments. Most of those attending were pleased
with the planning to date, although the property owners to the west of the site expressed several
concerns about the potential impact of the site plans on them.
The project committee met the following day to review the comments and to finalize the schematic
design plans that will were submitted and approved at the June Board of Trustees' meeting.
With the commencement of the design development phase, staff input is being solicited on the
interior configuration and floor plan—how the building is going to function. There was a meeting
with the regional adult services supervisors and Region I manager Linda Dunham to concentrate on
the adult areas and their relationships to other areas. We'll be doing the same with youth services
and circulation in July.
A predevelopment conference with county building and planning officials is scheduled for July 1.
Initiative 864
Initiative 864, Tim Eyman's "25% Property Tax Cut Initiative," was notably absent from those that
signature gatherers were promoting in front of businesses throughou.t the state during June. Based
on May finance filings with the Public Disclosure Commission, it appeared to be at least in part due
to relatively low contribution levels during May. By the end of the month, news reports were giving
it little chance for ballot validation.
Classification and compensation study update
Work progressed on the classification and compensation study. The compensation questionnaire was
sent to comparable libraries and local employers, with responses to be sent directly to Owen Human
Resource Consulting by July 10. So far, with input from position incumbents, supervisors, and
managers, HR manager Paul Eichenberg has rewritten 37 position descriptions with another half
dozen to go.
The final report and recommendations are expected on schedule in late July -early August.
Page 4 of 6
Animals in libraries
In response to what appears to be an increase in people wanting to bring animals (primarily dogs)
into our libraries, we've written a staff procedure for dealing with such situations.
The Americans With Disabilities Act (ADA) requires that service clogs accompanying people having
disabilities be allowed in facilities open to the general public. However, it doesn't require that those
facilities allow dogs -m- training or "therapy" dogs used by people who don't have an ADA-
recogn.ized disability. Nor does it require that they be allowed if they pose a threat to other
customers' health and safety or interfere with the facility's operation.
The new procedure outlines ADA requirements, distinguishes between service animals and therapy
animals, and ties service animal behavior (and that of their owner) to the Customer Conduct Policy.
It also prohibits the use of libraries for dog training.
GOVERNMENT RELATIONS
Spokane Valley Library Capital Facilities Planning Advisory Committee
The Spokane Valley Library Capital Facilities Planning Advisory Committee met June 10 to review
the feedback from the May 27 open house, review area demographic and planning information, and
to discuss the facility option(s) to further develop.
Feedback, both from the telephone survey and the open house, was somewhat contradictory.
Although there was a fairly strong desire for more library materials and more public computer
workstations, there was only a tepid interest in investing in a new Valley Library or additional
branches. Enlarging the current building (which isn't feasible) was frequently mentioned.
It was the committee's consensus to develop a plan that recognizes both the objective issues about
facilities and the public opinion expressed about capital investments that includes comparative
information about library facilities in similarly sized cities, and suggests a long -term general planning
timeline that might be tied to benchmarks such as population increase. The proposed facilities will
be a new main library to replace Valley and an additional branch when warranted by population
increases. It will also recognize the availability of the Argonne and Otis Orchards branches on the
periphery of the city.
I'll work on the report over the first half of July, and the advisory committee will review and finalize
it at a July 21 meeting. It'll be transmitted to the city council and SCLD board soon after that, but no
later than the end of the month.
COMMUNITY RELATIONS
1 attended the Spokane Regional Chamber of Commerce and Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce
monthly membership breakfasts, the Regional Chamber's Agora Awards event, a Valley Chamber
public policy committee meeting, and the Deer Park Chamber of Commerce monthly luncheon.
We had a display at the June 29 Airway Heights Economic Rally and will also have one at the July 22
quarterly Spokane Regional Chamber of Commerce "After Hours" event to be held at Arbor Crest
Winery.
COMMUNICATIONS (BETH GILLESPIE, COMMUNICATIONS SPECIALIST)
• Beth met with the Central Valley School District connununications director to brainstorm
partnership options for the 2004 -2005 school year.
Page 5 of 6
■ A Register to Vote @ the Library campaign was planned and scheduled to be in branches and on
the Web site mid -to -end of July.
• The Moran Prairie Library design open house was coordinated and staffed; results from the
Spokane Valley library open house were compiled and distributed.
• Interviews were coordinated with tvvo TV stations; Valley Voice and Spokane Valley News Herald
contacts were handled; four media announcements were drafted and distributed.
HUMAN RESOURCES (PAUL EICHENBERG, HR MANAGER)
• Recruitment took place for three positions and interviews were conducted for five. There were
two internal transfers and four outside hires. Four staff resigned.
■ A configuration problem was discovered in the ABRA software, requiring the re -input of data.
■ All position description revisions were completed and sent to supervisors for final review.
• With regard to the classification and compensation study, compensation data from comparable
employers is being received by our consultant.
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY (PRISCILLA ICE, IT MANAGER)
• Dell warranty service contracts for several servers were extended for two years, and the mail
server software support contract extended for one year until the switch to Exchange. Two IT staff
are now self - maintainer certified to order warranty parts without going through Dell phone
support.
• A great deal of time was spent configuring on the new iBistro version.
■ New web services specialist Doug Stumbough began work in late June, filling a position that had
been vacant for several months and is beginning to free the time of the systems administrator
who has been filling in with Web site maintenance.
■ During June, 10,333 holds notices were generated, of which 40% were e- mailed. There were 2898
first overdue notices (26% e- mailed) and 715 second notices (21% e- mailed). This indicates the
need to continue to encourage customers to provide an e-mail address for their notice to cut
production and mailing costs.
■ The September installation date for the new SfRSI Directors Station software was established.
FINANCE, PURCHASING, FACILITIES (I.31LL SARGENT, BUSINESS MANAGER)
Argonne's landscaping had some major repairs due in part to the impact of last winter on some of
the vegetation. The dead and the dying were removed and replaced with new and in some cases
hardier stock. The Japanese maple at the front door —a gift of the Pasadena Posies Garden Club
when the building first opened— fell victim to a soil -borne disease that infects that type of tree so
had to be replaced with another variety.
• Moran Prairie LCFA accounting was set up, and a checking account opened.
• Cost estimates for the administrative offices carpet replacement project were obtained.
Note: This report is from the June 2004 report to the Spokane County Library District Board of
Trustees with added information related to Spokane Valley.
