PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City budget for 2004 was adopted on December 2, 2003 and amended on April 27, 2004 to reflect grant receipts for capital projects, tourism promotion activities and adjustments to city revenues. BACKGROUND: Amendments to the 2004 budget are needed to adjust the city budget for: 1. Fine and Forfeiture receipts and disbursements which are paid to the State of Washington for state programs 2. Building Permit revenues and expenditures which are exceeding our estimates because of increased construction activity 3. Recreation revenues and expenditures which are less than our original estimates because of fewer recreation programs 4. Street Bond Capital Fund interest earnings revenue and expenditures which were not included in the original budget. 5. Mirabeau Point — CenterPlace revenues from donations which were anticipated in the (2003) budget but won't actually be received until 2004 The City Finance Committee met on August 19, and reviewed these budget amendments. OPTIONS: Amending the budget is the only viable option. State law requires amendments to the budget when we believe our actual revenues and expenditures will exceed our budget. These revenue and expenditure adjustments are offsetting, so no new dollars are needed to balance the budget. RECOMMENDED ACTION: Hold public hearing BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Passage of this ordinance will provide the budget authorization to move ahead with these programs.

Community Development Director Sukup went over her PowerPoint presentation explaining the proposal. After brief council discussion concerning border easements, Mayor DeVleming invited public comment. Greg Warner, 11807 East 16 expressed concern for children's safety in the streets if there are changes in the variances and setbacks; that he is concerned with homes being five feet apart and if there were a fire, the fire would jump from roof to roof; said we would be taking everything away from the people and wants to know if there will be a grandfather clause concerning existing homes. Mary Pollard.: said she feels we are not a "one size fits all" community and is alarmed to have a five foot code; said there are other property zones such as agriculture and argues there will be problems with five foot setbacks; said her issue should not be ignored, and she would rather see a ten foot setback or a reason for five foot setback between developments. Janice Cooperstein, in the Ponderosa area: stated that reducing setbacks disturbs her, especially in new developments coming into a neighborhood; that five feet is too close as a minimum, and she feels that is not adequate on the side or front; said the pictures shown [in the PowerPoint) are a little misrepresentative, as they give the impression of having the same backyards. Ron Oman, Spokane Valley: said he feels we should not inherit a California mindset here; that with five feet insets on both sides, if a person were working in their backyard, they couldn't get a car or truck back there; that it is not safe and not practical. Council Minutes 08 - 10 - 04 Page 2 of 6 Date Approved by Council: DRAFT Carlos Landra, 2910 East 13"': said he is developing property here, that the current.setback is five feet and has been for a long time and feels people should read the ordinance; that he applauds this as it strengthens the backyard ordinance, that it is for new development and generally for new plats. Council discussion then ensued regarding the topic, that this would not be a drastic change but would allow more consistency in the building process; and that the Growth Management Act requires tighter and denser building. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried 4. Second Reading: Proposed Ordinance 04 -034 Administrative Variances/Exceptions — Marina Sukup After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Mayor DeVleming and seconded by Councilmen:her Denenny to approve Ordinance 04 -034. Community Development Director Sukup went through her PowerPoint presentation and explained that this ordinance is somewhat of a housekeeping measure, and she explained the slight changes as noted in the strikeouts and underlines. Director Sukup also mentioned that with the passage of the previous ordinance, Council may want to change this ordinance back to the initial 10% as noted under allowed exceptions. In response to Council questions, Ms. Sukup said staff receives an estimated six to eight requests for 25% administrative discretion, and that approximately 80% of those deal with side flanking streets. After discussion concerning the approval criteria and appeal process, it was decided to add the word "and" after 14.506.030 #3 to make all four criterions necessary. It was then moved by Deputy Mayor Wilhite and seconded by Councilmember Denenny to amend the motion to have the proposed setback at 10% and include the word "and" at the end of section 14.506.030.

Community Development Director Sukup went over her PowerPoint presentation and discussed the two neighborhoods which expressed concern with what they feel is piecemeal zoning. Director Sukup added that Findings will also need to be made and are included in the council packet information. She added that with this issue, there are environmental challenges and she proposes making the revisions for the second reading. Discussion followed concerning the CTED letter, piecemeal zoning, number of dwelling units per acre allowed for new developments, interim zoning to preserve the status quo, and that this ordinance will be of assistance to staff as they develop a work plan and fold it into a development plan, as well as GMA requirements and that staff feels language could be more specifically stated to address existing urban neighborhoods. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. PUBLIC COMMENT: Chuck Hafner, 4710 S Woodrtff (gave handout to Clerk dated August 10, 2004, subject; Rezoning of UR - to Ur - read part of iris handout and summarized other parts, concerning the rezone issue. Meg Arpin, 1117 E. 35 Avenue: said she represents a number of property owners in Spokane Valley, that she is not in opposition to what the neighbors want but does have concerns regarding the existing language of the ordinance and feels there is a need for additional language with regard to intent; that there arc concerns from CTED and the "1,000 Friends of Washington" regarding a UR1 zone and density, and she would like Council to consider other ways to accomplish the same ends but to protect the character Council Minutes 08 -10 -04 Page 3 of 6 Date Approved by Council: DRAFT and vitality of the neighborhoods and their rights to keep large animals and horses without adoption of a zone. Chet Reilly, 1112 S Homestead Court in Rotchford: said he backs up Chuck Hafner and asks Council to move forward and bring this ordinance to a second reading to keep the neighborhood intact and not fragment it, thereby keeping property values. Kim Landucci, 9908 E. Holman Road: said she bought her house so that she would be able to ride her horse in the neighborhood; that the neighborhood is a very family oriented place and she would like to see it stay that way; that there is a problem with underground water and with water pressure and those issues need to be considered, as well as ingress and egress; and that she doesn't want extra congestion that comes with more homes, cars, and people. Bill Gothmann, 10010 East 48 said that he is the Chair of Spokane Valley Planning Commission and his house is one. of those affected; and said that to keep the status quo would be keeping the area as it was prior to 2000. Janice Cooperstein, 9716 E 45 in the Ponderosa area: said that the GMA was passed to protect the environment and to provide for wildlife and open areas; to reduce urban sprawl; and to reduce the cost to government in bringing facilities to these neighborhoods; that by changing back to the zoning, Council would be keeping with those requirements. She added that there are only two minor roads, and there is no sewer; that the Ponderosa was built for rural purposes and would be highly costly to develop as UR7. Rich Bellatague, 48111 S Spencer Lane,, Ponderosa area: requests that Council keep in mind the rest of the area, including the Dishman Hills natural area or up on Tower Mountain. Discussion followed concerning protection of lot sizes, keeping of large animals, Growth Management Act requirements, and whether to have this process as one ordinance or two. City Attorney Schwartz stated that this first reading allows staff the opportunity to modify the ordinance if necessary, and perhaps bring the proposal back as a proposal limited to rezone in certain areas, that he needs to check procedure, examine the comprehensive plan and other development regulations and review all with staff; and added that if there is going to be a UR -I zone, that it will be available for new developments which would likely run contrary to GMA issues, but to preserve the status quo of a certain neighborhood is a different issue. It was Council consensus to bring this issue back with possible amendments and more defined language to ensure we are within the limitations mentioned in the CTED letter. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: !None. Motion carried to forward this to a second reading.

It was moved by Councilmember Munson and seconded by Deputy Mayor Wilhite that this council support the increase for a limited period of time, of 21 cents per thousand to assure streets are maintained at a level of service this city is used to.

Councilmember Flanigan added that he would like to see something from the Police Department in regard to their concerns. Councilmember Denenny asked what is the public saying and why are we addressing this issue, although he realizes safety is a large concern, that perhaps we can take the lead from what other jurisdictions are doing; and added that he would like further discussion on various options. 10. Facility Use Agreement— Mike Jackson Parks and Recreation Director Jackson explained that the Radio Control Car Club of Spokane has operated a radio car race track in Sullivan Park for several years under a verbal understanding with Spokane County, but now that the park is part of the City of Spokane Valley, staff is working to develop a use agreement that will allow the club to continue to operate through December 31, 2004, including one six -month renewal period, which will allow time to develop a Parks and Recreation Master Plan and form policies governing special use in our parks.

They stated they are eager to make connections for us, they believe in the bright future of this city and of their peers; and hope this partnership will continue for many years as they help the city grow into a role in fully supporting the Chase Youth Commission. c.

Mr. Eliassen said the EDC recently started a CEO -to -CEO campaign, writing letters to companies in other areas to entice them to choose to be in the Spokane area; then his staff follows up and make contacts. Mr. Eliassen said theirs is a business of getting businesses into the pipeline; of trying to create opportunity for more jobs in the area above. medium income, and to have businesses relocate here with increased investment in the region. He explained that the plan requires about 12 to 14 full time marketing people and he only has two people now and those staff positions require funds he does not have in his budget; that he asks for $2.00 per person per year, and at that level the County would cover about 55% of that funding need. Mr. Eliassen said they are asking for $175,000 as an investment in sustainable economic development on the part of Spokane Valley. d. Project Access Dr. Samuel Selinger, Medical Director for Project Access introduced Project Access Director Carol Darby, and Valley resident Beau Mellon.

Attorney Driskell mentioned that a third program, "24 -hour sentencing alternative" will be briefly discussed, which is for convicted DUIs and the incorporation of an education program to serve as the mandatory one -day jail sentence.

Budget Discussion: Council Goals for 2005 — Dave Mercier City Manager Mercier explained that the attached draft goals are what we will be seeking to achieve in the coming fiscal year, and he asked for Council feedback on the five on the face page, and on the additional goal on the reverse side, and briefly discussed the goal of good customer service, specifically stating that to have good customer service, that definition must be detailed. Councilmember Munson suggested adding the managed competition goal from the current year. Mr. Mercier stated that previous goals will remain active, but that these goals focus on the adoption of the comprehensive plan as he feels there is no single piece of conceptual work that Council could focus on which is more important then that of the Comprehensive Plan. After further discussion concerning these goals, managed competition, collaboration of issues in common with the Chamber of Commerce and Board of County Commissioners, it was council consensus to add goal #6 concerning customer service. City Manager Mercier gave his PowerPoint presentation and asked Council to keep in mind that this is a "work in progress." Mr. Mercier said that his preliminary budget is nearly complete and is set to be delivered September 14, and added that he realizes most people are not in favor of service reductions or tax increases. After explaining the. last slide on the 1% projection, Mr. Mercier said we can balance the 2005 budget without implementing the I% limitation, but that would mean a larger balancing task for budget year 2006. It was Council consensus to tackle the process now rather than for 2006, and that Council would like a full evaluation on service models and revenues. Mr. Mercier said staff will work to identify what affects this methodology and will produce greater detailed information and make recommendations as to offsetting positive revenues to balance the $500,000 deficit. It was moved by Mayor DeVleming, seconded by Councilmember Munson, and unanimously agreed upon to extend the meeting 30 minutes. 4.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.63.220, Spokane Valley Ordinance 53 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The ordinance was advanced to a second reading on August 10, 2004. BACKGROUND: A moratorium or interim zoning ordinance may be effective for not longer than six months, but may be effective for up to one year if a work plan is developed for related studies providing for such a longer period. A moratorium of interim zoning ordinance may be renewed for one or more six -month periods if a subsequent public hearing is held and findings of fact are made prior to each renewal. The City Council adopted the Spokane County Comprehensive Plan pursuant to Ordinance No. 52, subsequently adopting the Zoning Code of Spokane County as interim development regulations for the new city (Ordinance 53). The Comprehensive Plan establishes the following Policies in relevant part' ....Low density residential areas shall range from 1 to and including six dwelling units per acre" (UL.9.1) and " Spokane County shall seek to achieve an average residential density in new development of at least 4 dwelling units per net acre in the Urban Growth Area through a mix of densities and housing types.' (UL.9.2) The zoning classifications established by these regulations provide for a maximum density of seven dwelling units/acre for areas designated as "Low Density Residential" or ''LDR" by the Comprehensive Plan. Two well - established neighborhoods located within areas designated for Low Density Residential (LDR) uses have requested consideration of a regulatory mechanism that would continue to permit the keeping of a limited number of large animals, primarily horses. These neighborhoods were originally established over twenty - five years ago to allow the keeping of such animals, a practice that was permitted under the previous zoning classification. WAC 365- 195- 310(2)(I) provides that "[ijn developing the housing element attention should be working with the desires of residents to preserve the character and vitality of existing neighborhoods, along with the rights of people to live in the neighborhood of their choice ". A public hearing was held by the Planning Commission on July 22, 2004. The Planning Commission recommended approval of interim zoning for Rotchford Acres, Shelley Acres Addition and portions of the Ponderosa and made finding of fact for consideration by the City Council by a vote of 6 - 1. A Determination of Non - Significance (DNS) was issued on April 26, 2004 and a draft sent to the Washington Department of Community Trade and Economic Development (CTED) on the same day. CTED's comments were received on August 4` 2004 as follows: "Things we particularly like in Spokane Valley's proposed amendments include: Administrative Report Urban Residential Estate Interim Zoning Page 2 of 2 • Language in the proposed Urban Residential Estate Zone is sufficiently detailed to indicate that Spokane Valley aims to avoid or reduce municipal obligation to repair poorly planned, haphazard development by instilling this temporary land use control. A narrow application of the proposed interim zone for two distinct, already built -out subdivisions should help limit the negative impacts while Spokane Valley attends to the development of its urban design standards.' CTED did, however, reiterate their concerns about large lot development in urban areas. The only changes to the proposed ordinance are contained in Section 14.615.100 Purpose and Intent, which address comments expressed by attorney Meg Arpin on behalf her clients within the development community. Community Development staff discussed Ms. Arpin's suggestion that changes in the provisions relating to non - conforming uses should be considered as an alternative to the proposed ordinance, and found them unpersuasive. These comments also address CTED's concern that estate zoning be narrowly limited to substantially developed urban neighborhoods. "14.615.100 Purpose and Intent The purpose of the UR -1 zone is to preserve the character and vitality of existing substantially developed urban neighborhoods consisting primarily of one -acre lots which were created through a formal platting process more than twenty -five years ago and which have historically permitted the keeping of a limited number of large animals and livestock. Lots are presently served by a public water system and may require connection to a public sewer system. The residential character necessitates the provision of paved roads and other public facilities. The UJR -1 zone is not intended to circumvent the intent of the Comprehensive Plan that residential development within the Urban Growth Area (UGA) be urban in nature.

SURROUNDING COMPREHENSIVE PLAN & ZONING Subject Properties: Comprehensive Plan — Low Density Residential Zoning — Urban Residential 3.5 (UR -3.5), Urban Residential 7 (UR -7) Preservation of Existing Residential Subdivisions (UR -1 Interim Zoning) FINDINGS April 30, 2004 1 of 5 II. FINDINGS OF FACT AND CONCLUSIONS COMPREHENSIVE PLAN: Relevant provisions of the Spokane Valley Interim Comprehensive Plan are found in Chapter 6 (Housing) includes the Vision — "Spokane County is a community that provides the opportunity for a variety of housing types and development patterns for all incomes and lifestyles while preserving the environment and the character of existing neighborhoods." "Planning Principles The following planning principles, developed through citizen participation efforts, form the basis for development of the Urban Land Use Chapter. • Compact urban forms should be encouraged that create a greater sense of "community," with pedestrian /bicycle- friendly settlement patterns. • Neighborhood character should be preserved and protected. • Jobs, housing, services and other activities should be within easy walking distance and shorter commute times of each other. • Communities should have a center focus that combines commercial, civic, cultural and recreational uses. • Streets, pedestrian paths and bike paths should contribute to a system of fully connected routes. • Communities should have a diversity of housing and job types that enable residents from a wide range of economic levels and age groups to work and reside within their boundaries. General Goals UL.la Provide a healthful, safe and sustainable urban environment that offers a variety of opportunities for affordable housing and employment. UL.1b Create a future rich in cultural and ethnic diversity that embraces family and community values and recognizes the interests of the whole community. Goal UL.2 Maintain and enhance the quality of life in Spokane County through urban design standards. Policies UL.2.1 Establish minimum performance standards within the zoning code for nuisances such as noise, vibration, smoke, particulate matter, odors, heat and glare and other aspects as appropriate to ensure compatibility with adjacent land uses and neighborhoods. UL.2.2 The design of development proposals should accommodate and complement environmental features and conditions, and preserve and protect significant cultural resources. UL.2.6 Develop urban design "guidelines* that provide consistency of application for the design review process. The guidelines should focus on the functional interrelationships between land use, site design, neighborhood character and transportation systems. UL.2.9 Develop neighborhood, subarea and community plans with specific design standards that reflect and preserve community character. UL.2.11 Promote linkage of developments with open space, parks, natural areas and street connections. Preservation of Existing Residential Subdivisions (UR -1 Interim Zoning) FINDINGS April 30, 2004 2 of 5 UL.2.12Enhance and preserve the site characteristics of residential development (existing trees, watercourses, historic features and similar assets) through sensitive site planning tools such as clustering, lot averaging, transfer of development rights and flexible setback requirements. Goal UL.4 Encourage exemplary developments and creative design through the use of performance standards. Policy UL.4.1 Allow flexibility and innovative design through the use of performance standards which emphasize outcomes. Goal H.1 Coordinate housing policies and programs with other jurisdictions, agencies and neighborhoods. H. 1.3 — "Provide opportunities for early and continuous participation of citizens and neighborhood groups in land use and community development planning processes." H. 1.5 — 'Encourage the creation and continued operation and effectiveness of neighborhood associations through neighborhood and subarea planning programs. Goal H -2 Reduce regulatory barriers and allow greater flexibility in the housing development process. Policy H2.2- When developing housing regulations, consider the balance between housing affordability and environmental quality, design quality and maintenance of neighborhood character. H2.3. Develop consistent, precise, fair and enforceable regulations that maintain environmental quality and public health and safety standards, while minimizing housing development costs. Housing Policy H2.5. Provide incentives for safe and decent housing that is in close proximity to jobs, transportation and daily activities. Goal H.3a Policy Develop a variety of housing options for all economic groups H3.2 Ensure that the desigrif infill development preserves the character of the neighborhood. Goal ED.5b Promote public /private partnerships that encourage innovation and creativity in the economic expansion of our region. Policy ED.5.6 Review development regulations continuously to assure clarity, consistency, predictability and direction. Provide opportunities for citizens to initiate amendments to inconsistent, outdated, inappropriate or unnecessary or confusing regulations. Amendments shall be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. NEIGHBORHOOD CHARACTER: Ponderosa: Low density residential designed for on- premises maintenance of a limited number of horses. Heavily wooded with rugged terrain in parts. Expansion to the west precluded because of the Dishman Natural Area and terrain. Over 95% of Tots fully developed. Some remain vacant because of topography. Rotchford Acres: Low density residential designed for on- premises maintenance of a limited number of horses. Terrain is relatively flat east of Sullivan Road with steep hillside limiting any easterly expansion. Equine easements provided on local streets. Subdivision is fully developed. Preservation of Existing Residential Subdivisions (UR-1 Interim Zoning) FINDINGS April 30, 2004 3 of 5 Social Character: Well- organized and cohesive neighborhoods. DESIGN QUALITY: Local access and residential collectors designed to accommodate lots of approximately one acre. Direct access to public streets. Single- family housing is well- maintained and designed for residential privacy. A limited number of large animals, especially horses is a design theme in both neighborhoods. Spokane Valley has not yet established performance or design standards to assure the quality of residential design to preserve neighborhood character. ENVIRONMENTAL QUALITY: Wastewater. Limited access to public sewer in the Ponderosa. Balance of property relies on septic systems. Rotchford Acres relies entirely on septic systems. Re- subdivision to increase residential densities should not be permitted absent an organized wastewater collection and treatment system. Potable Water. Ponderosa is served by Spokane County Water District #3, Rotchford by Vera Irrigation Dist. #14, both Group °A" Community Water Systems. Re- subdivision to increase residential densities will require adequate supply and pressure for domestic consumption and fire protection. Stormwater: the Ponderosa subdivision has intermittent streams that drain to Chester Creek. The contribution of to the rate and volume of flows from additional impervious cover resulting from re- subdivision could result in an environmental damage as yet undetermined for which mitigation would need to be established in a planned and coordinated manner. Similar concerns concerning drainage which could affect Saltese Creek Erodable soils: Both the Rotchford and Ponderosa subdivisions include or abut geological hazard areas which require further evaluation prior to allowing additional residential densities. Native Vegetation /habitat: Ponderosa includes areas of wildlife critical habitat for White Tail Deer and threatened species. Spokane Valley has not yet established performance or design standards to assure the continued preservation of environmental quality in outlying areas with limited public infrastructure and specific environmental conditions, such as steep slopes, intermittent flooding and highly erodable soils. PUBLIC HEALTH & SAFETY: Access: Ponderosa: Property lies west of the Union Pacific Railroad with only two points of access. Additional access should be required prior to any increase in residential densities for evacuation and emergency services. Animal Maintenance: The requirements for the maintenance and upkeep of even a limited number of large animals raises issues of compatibility resulting from noise, odor, proximity to residential structures, flies, etc.. These issues are compounded with increased residential densities and requirements for buffering for any additional residential densities may be required. Landfill: Ponderosa: The proximity of a closed landfill to an increased number of residences requires additional study. Spokane Valley has not yet established performance or design standards to assure continued compatible principal and accessory land uses within residential neighborhoods. PUBLIC NOTICE: Current property owners purchased property with notice of existing regulations pertaining to the keeping of large animals. The Short Plat process requires notice only to adjacent property owners. Preservation of Existing Residential Subdivisions (UR -1 Interim Zoning) FINDINGS April 30, 2004 4 of 5 COMPLIANCE WITH THE STATE ENVIRONMENTAL POLICY ACT (SEPA): Ordinance No. 48 (effective March 31, 2003) adopted on an interim basis by reference the Spokane Environmental Ordinance (Spokane County) thereby implementing the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) and Chapter 197- 11 of the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) within the jurisdictional limits of the City of Spokane Valley. An Environmental checklist was.completed and a Determination of Non - Significance was issued on April 26, 2004. Conclusions were based on the finding that a regulation preserving the status quo would have no adverse environmental impact. Conclusion(s): Permitting piecemeal increase in residential densities without the establishment of performance and design standards raise serious issues related to preservation of neighborhood character and design, maintaining environmental quality, public health and safety, and the adequacy of public notice, which require additional study prior to the establishment of permanent regulation. III. DECISION The Ponderosa and Rotchford Acres should be zoned UR -1 (see Exhibits "A" and "B" attached) on an interim basis pursuant to RCW 35A.63.220 following a public hearing before the Planning Commission, pending resolution of issues identified above.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City budget for 2004 was adopted on December 2, 2003 and amended on April 27, 2004 to reflect grant receipts for capital projects, tourism promotion activities and adjustments to city revenues. BACKGROUND: Amendments to the 2004 budget are needed to adjust the city budget for: 1. Fine and Forfeiture receipts and disbursements which are paid to the State of Washington for state programs 2. Building Permit revenues and expenditures which are exceeding our estimates because of increased construction activity 3. Recreation revenues and expenditures which are Tess than our original estimates because of fewer recreation programs 4. Street Bond Capital Fund interest earnings revenue and expenditures which were not included in the original budget. 5. Mirabeau Point — CenterPlace revenues from donations which were anticipated in the (2003) budget but won't actually be received until 2004 The City Finance Committee met on August 19, and reviewed these budget amendments. OPTIONS: Amending the budget is the only viable option. State law requires amendments to the budget when we believe our actual revenues and expenditures will exceed our budget. These revenue and expenditure adjustments are offsetting, so no new dollars are needed to balance the budget. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to advance the ordinance to a second reading. BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Passage of this ordinance will provide the budget authorization to move ahead with these programs.

Driskell, Deputy City Attorney Date of Publication: Ordinance Effective Date Michael DeVleming, Mayor Ordinance 04 -036 Amending 2004 Budget Page 3 of 3 Meeting Date: 24 August 2004 City Manager Sign -off: Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business 0 new business 0 public hearing ❑ information i] admin. report 0 pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Plan Review Fee Structure GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Ordinance 04 -010 Spokane Valley Resolution 03 -053 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Master Fee Schedule / Resolution 03 -053 BACKGROUND: The Master Fee Schedule provides Building Permit Fees based on the total valuation of a construction project. The Plan Review Fee is based as a fraction of the Building Permit Fee. As the Building Permit Fee climbs the Plan Review Fee correspondingly climbs. For large projects the Plan Review Fee may be very high. For example, if a project would be valued at $35,000,000.00, a value expected for a large commercial building such as a large stadium or arena, the Building Permit Fee would be $112,708.75. The Plan Review Fee for this structure would be $73,260.69. Although the total of these two fees only amount to .53% of the total cost of the example project, it may be questioned that there is actually a $73,260.69 cost in reviewing and processing during the plan review function. In addition, capping the Plan Review Fee at a fixed number, for example $35,000.00, may not only capture the total cost of the plan review function, but that action may be viewed as a business friendly approach to limiting development costs and possibly encourage large commercial development in our community. Council received a briefing 8 June 2004. OPTIONS: 1. Recognizing that the Plan Review Fee helps support the development review efforts of the City, keep the Master Fee Schedule and that specific revenue stream constant. 2. Modify the Master Fee Schedule by capping the maximum Plan Review Fee at a number decided by City Council. On the 8 June Study Session City Council directed staff to prepare an amendment to Resolution 03 -053, Master Fee Schedule, capping the Plan Review Fee but allowing additional costs to be collected if those costs would exceed the cap. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to amend Resolution 03 -053 Schedule C Plan Review Fees by adding the underlined language: Plans review fees are not refundable once the plan review has been started. This fee is in addition to the full basic fee. The WSBCC fee is to be collected at this time. Initial Plan Review Fees shall be ca ed at '.35 000 maximum with the follow exce•tion: CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action .• Exception #1. If additional professional resources are required for individual project plan review for those projects that reach the maximum Plan Review Fee, the Building Official shall be authorized to require the permit applicant to provide those resources to the City of Spokane Valley. If a set of plans already checked and approved is resubmitted by the owner or his /her agent, an hourly rate of $47.00 will be applied for the re- review. BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Impact would be to reduce the total fee collected by capping the maximum Plan Review Fee for larger projects.

Prior to incorporation, Spokane County levied a tax on pulltabs and punchboards at 10% of gross receipts less the amount awarded as cash or merchandise prizes. Apparently, persons who sell pulltabs or punchboards have been paying the City tax based upon the previous County Ordinance. This practice has resulted in amounts due from approximately 37 businesses. State law provides the City with an option to impose a tax rate either as defined by Ordinance No. 28 or the previous Spokane County Ordinance. This is a matter left to the legislative discretion of the City Council. If the City desires to amend the Gambling Tax ordinance, an issue arises with respect to the money past due. Specifically, research reveals that in the absence of an invalid enactment, a refund could be deemed a gift of public funds under the Washington Constitution. Thus, the action of the Council with respect to the tax rate on pulltabs and punchboards must be prospective in operation. A Memorandum is attached. OPTIONS: See Above. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $ STAFF CONTACT: Stanley Schwartz and Ken Thompson ATTACHMENTS Research Memorandum M EMO W I TIERSPOON, KELLEY, DAVENPORT & TOOLE, P.S. TO: Mayor and Members of the City Council Cc: Dave Mercier, City Manager, Nina Rigor, Deputy City Manager, Ken Thompson, Finance Director, and Cary Driskell, Deputy City Attorney FROM: Stanley M. Schwartz, Interim City Attorney DATE: August 18, 2004 RE: City Gambling Tax Ordinance No. 28 1. INTRODUCTION The City Gambling Tax on pulltabs and punchboards is levied at 5% of gross receipts. Prior to incorporation, Spokane County levied a tax on pulltabs and punchboards at 10% of gross receipts less the amount awarded as cash or merchandise prizes. Apparently, persons who sell pulltabs or punchboards have been paying the City tax based upon the previous County Ordinance. This practice has resulted in amounts due from approximately 37 businesses. It ANALYSIS City of Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 28 provides the following in Section 2B(1). 13. Punchboards and Pulltabs (1) Commercial stimulate operators shall pay a tax in an amount equal to five percent (5 %) of the gross receipts from the operation of punchboards and pulltabs. The above Ordinance does not define "gross receipts" as the ticket price less the amount awarded as cash or merchandise prizes. With respect to the above two games of chance, state law provides the following: At the option of the... City... the taxation of punchboards and pulltabs for commercial stimulant operators may be based on gross receipts from the operation of the games, and may not exceed a rate of 5 %, or may be based on gross receipts from the operation of the games less the. amount awarded as cash or merchandise prizes, and may not exceed a rate of 10 %. RCW 9.46.110(3)(e). Thus, State law provides the City with an option to impose a tax rate either as defined by Ordinance No. 28 or the previous Spokane County Ordinance. If the City Council desires to amend Ordinance 28 to minor the County Ordinance, the past amounts due and owing the City must be addressed. C; Documents and Settingslebninbridge \Local ScitingslTemporary Internet Fikes101LK6A\Memo City Gambling Tax OS I804.doc Our State Supreme Court has addressed the issue of voluntarily returning tax collections and held that such a return is a gift prohibited by the State Constitution.' In Yakima v. Huza, 67 Wn.2d 351 (1965) the City of Yakima increased an occupation tax on the gross receipts of private and publicly owned utilities. The people responded with an initiative that sought to, in summary, repeal the tax increase and allow tax credits for money paid the City. Before the Court, the City argued that a tax credit amounted to a gift of public funds to private persons. The Washington State Supreme Court wrote: In a case similar to the instant case, it was held that the municipal legislative body may not authorize the return of a tax which was validly collected...The Washington State constitutional provisions which prohibit making a gift of public money or credit, Article 8 Sections 5 and 7, are both applicable to this situation, and prohibit such a refund as provided for in this initiative Ordinance. The situation plight well be treated differently if there were any question about the validity of [the City Ordinance ] or if some duty existed on the part of the City to refund part of the taxes. Respondent has... not claimed that the City has any duty to return the increased taxed collected under the ordinances. The precise limits of the application of this rule we do not decide. We are holding only that, where a tax Ordinance has been previousl valid' enacted it cannot be re . ealed retroactively, and the tax money heretofore. collected validly cannot be refunded simsl on the basis of the retro active repeal. Id at 359. An argument was made that a tax credit is not a refund because it is not the payment of money. The Court stated "We believe the difference in the form of the tax credit is not material in this case. The effect is a refund of taxes validly collected, and the Constitutional prohibition applies." Id. While the above case does not specifically address the facts presented by the enactment of Ordinance No. 28, it contains guidelines with respect to a refund of taxes. Because the City has a duty to collect taxes, the waiver or forbearance of the collection of taxes may be viewed as a gift by the City that is not permitted. M. CONCLUSION Ordinance No. 28 does not conflict with State law which specifically allows either a punchboard and pulltab tax of 5 or 10% depending upon whether it is measured against gross receipts or gross receipts less the amount awarded as cash or merchandise prizes. Here, the taxpayers continued to pay the punchboard and pulltab tax based upon the previous Spokane County enactment that provided for a tax of 10 % on the gross receipts less amounts awarded as cash or i 1 recognize that the money owed the City has not been paid. However, according to Ordinance it is an amount that is due and owing. C:\Documents and Seningslcbainbridge\Local SeningslTempora y Internet FilestOLK6A.Memo City Gambl Tux 081804.doc merchandise prizes. Apparently, the City gross tax of 5% creates a greater tax Liability. Even though the gambling tax on pulltabs and punchboards has not been collected in full, it is a valid obligation owed to the City. It is not an obligation that can he reasonably contested given that the State legislature has provided for either a 5 or 10% tax. I believe, the waiver or forbearance of collecting this tax could be deemed a gift of public funds. The following options are available: Maintain Ordinance No. 28, as is; Repeal Section 213 (1) of Ordinance No. 28 and provide for a reenactment at some point in the future and thereby allow the payment of the 5% tax to "catch up" with the future enactment of the 10% tax on gross receipts Tess cash and merchandise prizes.

BACKGROUND: On January 20, 2004, we presented en overview of stormwater management within the City. Stormwater disposal and treatment requirements were discussed. Council directed staff to review design options for stormwater treatment facilities. On April 27, 2004, Neil Kersten presented on overview of a proposed consultant study to evaluate swale design methods and received Council approval to proceed with the study. On May 21, 2004, the City Manager executed a contract with Tetra Tech /KCM to conduct the evaluation. The presentation updates Council on issues related to permitting, development of new standards, the proposed 2005 Stormwater Management Program, and the Swale Design Method Study. Mr. David Moss of Tetra TechJ CM and Mr. Tony Righellis of Righellis PC will provide details of the swale design evaluation and will facilitate discussion on their proposed recommendations for adopting a new design method.

Business registration 2005 budget process 11707 E Sprague Ave Suite 106 • Spokane Valley WA 99206 509.921.1000 • Fax: 509.921.1008 • cityhall @spokanevalley.org Reports showing a comparison of fund revenues and expenditures to our 2004 amended budget at July 31, 2004, are attached. If revenues and expenditures flowed to the City equally over the twelve months, we would expect to see 58% 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. 3200+ businesses are in our database. We are also updating our records for those businesses that have hazardous materials at their site. We expect to add around 200 nonprofit organizations to our database during the next 60 days. Outside Agencies will be making presentations to the council on August 17. A summary of revenues and expenditures will be submitted to the council on August 24, with public hearings scheduled for September 14, October 12 and October 26. Departments will discuss 2005 budget highlights at the October 5 council meeting. J Amendments to the 2004 budget A few amendments to the 2004 budget are being prepared for council review. They include: +adjusting fine/forfeiture revenue for the state share of these receipts +recognizing additional building permit income and expenditures +adjusting recreational revenues and expenditures because fewer programs are offered +recognizing donations on the CenterPlace Project which had been budgeted in 2003 +increasing interest income earned by street bond proceeds Quarterly gambling tax returns Businesses operating punchboard and pull tab devices have been advised of the correct method of calculating this tax. Most operators have contacted city hall and registered their concerns. City legal staff are reviewing this issue. Bond measure on ballot for full width .avement on Se tic Tank Elimination Pro 'ects The City Council has placed 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, would prolong the life of the street and help with future maintenance costs. 8/11/2004 10:31 AM dec Beginning Deposits Withdraws Interest Ending City of Spokane Valley Investment Report For the Month Ending July 31, 2004 LGIP` $ 9,916,677.01 1,529,533.53 (1,240,000.00) 11,284.16 $ 10,217,494.70 Balances by Fund General Fund Street Fund Arterial Street HotellMotel Capital Projects Spec.

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 Tess 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!1 1 !2004 10:31 AM 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 and revenues 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 revenue estimates 15 AWC membership paid early in 2004 16 40 +% of this budget are reserves which will only be used in an emergency 17 Transfer for parks masterplan ($80,000) is planned for late 2004 18 Transfer for trails planned for late 2004 19 Loan payment will be received in late 2004 20 Next debt transaction will be late 2004 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY DEPARTMENT OF COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT MONTHLY REPORT FOR JULY 2004 LONG RANGE PLANNING DIVISION: Planning Commission The Spokane Valley Planning Commission met twice during the month, on July 8th and July 22 " At the July 8 meeting, the Commission received an update on the Light Rail project from K.C. Traver, Project Manager. Representatives from Spokane Transit Authority then presented a briefing on transit planning activities in Spokane Valley. Long Range staff presented an overview of the Parks and Recreation Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan. Finally, the Commission continued discussion on proposed ordinances, including Administrative Variances /Administrative Exceptions, Dimensional Standards and a new Interim UR -1 Zone. At the July 22 meeting, the Planning Commission conducted public hearings on the proposed ordinances. Comprehensive Plan Amendments Long Range staff began processing proposed Comprehensive Plan Amendments for 2004. An informational briefing before the Planning Commission was scheduled for August 12, 2004; a public hearing is scheduled for September 23, 2004. Comprehensive Plan Development Long Range staff continues to develop draft chapters of the first Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan. The draft plan can be reviewed in its entirety on the City's website. On July 29, 2004, staff presented a population allocation proposal to the Steering Committee of Elected Officials. The Steering Committee consists of elected officials from Spokane County and cities within the County and is responsible for regional coordination of planning issues as required by the Washington State Growth Management Act. The City of Spokane Valley received a Growth Management Act grant installment of $6,020 in July. This brings total 2004 GMA grant income to $60,203. Ad hoc Sign Committee The Ad hoc Sign Committee met twice during the month of July, working through the definitions included in the interim ordinance. The Committee will review Comprehensive Plan provisions concerning billboards and aesthetic corridors during the month of August, anticipating that both issues will be included in the draft Comprehensive Plan.

This averages out to just over 40 inspections per day. In July we began looking for new personnel to supplement our on -call inspector pool. We were successful in obtaining two individuals; however, one gentleman injured himself performing a home improvement so we have renewed the search to increase the level of personnel in the pool. Our current inspection activity exceeds our target level of twelve inspections per inspector per day. The Building Division's newest on -call inspector performed 244 of the July inspections, so the workload has become more manageable using this labor resource. Over the next few months, we expect a larger volume of inspections, since inspection requests track actual permit activity. The Building Division expects to use a second on -call inspector for a few months to help us maintain the capacity of excellent customer service the Building Division strives to sustain. Commercial permits included a large warehouse at 7115 E. Cataldo Avenue and an airplane hanger at Felts Field. Our plan review remains very active. Pre - application meetings indicate several hundred multi- family style units are in the planning stages. We also anticipate a new public school building permit application to be submitted in August. As this plan review activity increases, we are using one of our on -call inspectors to help manage the workload. Bob Weiszmann joined our on -call pool in July and is not only a Certified Plans Examiner, but also a PE. The Building Official attended the HVAC Association Business Meeting on July 15 Establishing a working relationship with this industry organization will contribute to better understanding of code - related issues. The Permit Center has been physically rearranged to improve staff productivity and customer service. Staff was able to use parts and pieces of the modular furniture already in our possession to create a more effective workspace as well as create an additional workspace. Mike Turbak has been selected to serve as the new Permit Specialist. He will respond immediately to the walk -in and telephone inquiries, and to assist customers to identify the staff member best able to respond to their needs. CODE ENFORCEMENT: The number of "Violations Reported" on the chart below reflects actual Spokane Valley Zoning Code violations, plus complaints received which were not violations. The complaints received have been added to the total this month because they reflect time officers spent in the field conducting investigations. In addition, the "Investigated" and "Pending" columns accurately reflect Code Enforcement's current ability to process and investigate backlog cases due to additional staffing.

I have included hotspot maps for July residential burglaries, July traffic accidents and July commercial burglaries, along with June and July stolen vehicles. • The month of July is normally full of vacation time not only for the citizens, but for many of our officers as well. This really doesn't reduce our activity level, but it does lessen the immediacy of completing some of our ongoing projects. Even so, members of the Spokane Valley Police Department sat down with Trinity Hartman of the Spokesman Review who was interested in doing an article on our first full year as a police agency. Trinity should be complimented on the content and accuracy of the information she provided to the public about the successes of our department. The one overlying theme that was present was that our citizens have noticed a better police presence and quicker response times. Trinity also noted the Clearwater Survey, indicating a great approval rating of the services provided by the men and women of the Spokane Valley Police Department. Overall, this is a great start for our first year and we intend on improving our services even more. ♦ Sheriff's deputies who patrol the Centennial Trail on bicycles accepted nearly $2,000 worth of donated equipment from REI, 1125 N. Monroe, at a brief ceremony on Thursday, July 8. Bike Patrol Deputies Andy Buell and Matt Gould accepted the equipment that was fimded by an REl grant to the friends of the Centennial Trail. That organization, in turn, channeled the grant funds to the sheriffs office to enhance security on the trail. The money was used to purchase another fully equipped mountain bike for the unit and cleaning and maintenance supplies for the existing mountain bikes currently in use on the trail. 1 ♦ Edgecliff SCOPE and City of Spokane Valley hosted the second annual Fun In The Sun Arts and Crafts Show at Edgecliff Park. In addition to arts and crafts displays and vendors, the event hosted classic cars, live music, food and fun for the community. ♦ Sheriff's Crime Prevention Officer Greg Snyder offered Terrorism Awareness and Domestic Preparedness training on July 22 as part of Sheriff Mark Stork's program to expand and enhance the Neighborhood Watch program. Simply stated, Neighborhood Watch is a neighbor watching out for neighbors. Through organization, education and communication, the program seeks to reduce the opportunity for crime in the City of Spokane Valley. Additional training dates are set for August 23, September 15 and October 18. OPERATIONS This month's operations section highlights how important a partnership is between Law Enforcement and the communal it serves. Each incident below was accomplished because of the actions of a citizen(s) helping Law Enforcement. ♦ Spokane Valley Police arrested a wanted fugitive Friday after an alert American West Bank teller spotted the suspect and recalled seeing him on the Spokane County Sheriff's Most Wanted listing. Officer Travis Hansen arrested 41- year -old James E. Platz and booked him into the Spokane County Jail on outstanding warrants charging him with three counts of Possession of Controlled Substance, two counts of Second Degree Possession of Stolen Property, one count of Forgery, one count of Possession of a Legend Drug and one count of Hit and Run Collision. After arresting Platz on the outstanding warrants, Hansen searched the suspect's car and found two white plastic bottles and a wooden container inside the driver's door. Inside of each was a quantity of Methamphetamines. In addition to the warrants, Hansen also booked Platz on three new counts of Possession of Methamphetamines. ♦ On Monday, July 5, Marine Deputy Jay Bailey was working the Spokane River and left the sheriffs Ford Expedition and boat trailer parked in the public parking area of Sullivan Park. A citizen witnessed a man and woman letting air out of a tire on the truck and on the trailer, and drove Bailey to the area where he last saw the suspects. The citizen stopped his truck to block the suspects' gray Porsche, but as Bailey stepped from the truck, the Porsche roared around them and drove away. Not, however, before the deputy got a good look at the male and female occupants and the license plate. Bailey was able to identify the residence of the. Porsche's registered owner. During subsequent interview with the woman involved, Bailey learned that the couple had become agitated while listening to park visitors talking about deputies enforcing the county's lifejacket ordinance. As they were leaving the river where they had been swimming, they spotted Bailey issuing a woman a ticket. They drove to the parked Marine Unit truck and trailer and let the air out of one tire using her fingernail to depress the stem of the tire's valve. Because of the two flattened tires, the Marine Unit truck and trailer were effectively removed from rescue service. Bailey arrested the male and female on a felony charge. 2 ♦ A 45 -year -old Spokane Valley man was freed from being pinned beneath his overturned truck Tuesday by six or seven passersby who jumped in to help Deputy Eric Epperson rescue the rnan. The victims full -size Chevrolet pickup was eastbound on Sprague and drifted to the right, went off the roadway, and struck a stop sign in the parking lot of the Opportunity Post Office. The sign vaulted the pickup into a parked Acura, a Subaru and a Toyota pickup parked in the lot, and redirected the victim's truck into the right eastbound lane of Sprague where it tipped onto its side, trapping the driver's arm beneath the vehicle. Epperson arrived to find a 13- year -old male passenger hanging by his scatbelt and the driver's arm pinned beneath the truck and bleeding profusely from a head laceration. With the assistance of the half -dozen passersby, Epperson and the group lifted the truck enough for the driver's arm to be pulled out from beneath the truck. The initial investigation revealed that the driver is taking prescription medication, but the cause of his blackout and the crash remain under investigation. ♦ A man called Crime Check and reported that he was following a stolen Honda Accord. He said the Honda passed him and the driver threw out a cellular phone. He picked up the phone and the car's owner was on the other end asking where the Honda was. It turns out the Honda had been stolen from an address in the 11000 block of East Montgomery. The passerby began chasing the stolen Accord and called Crime Check, but eventually lost sight of the fleeing Honda. However, Officer Sarah Riojas, coincidentally the very officer who had taken the stolen car report earlier, spotted the car on East Empire at Williams Road. She stopped the Honda using her emergency lights, but the suspect refused to show his hands and step out of the car. When the teenage driver saw Officer Jim Ebel approaching frorn the east on Empire, the suspect took off eastbound, nearly colliding with Officer Ebel's patrol car. Officer Riojas pursued the teen to Empire and Stegner when the suspect turned south. About a half -block later, he turned right into a field and abandoned the car after colliding with a dumpster. Officer Ebel began pursuing the suspect on foot. As the suspect was rounding a house in the 11600 block of East Trent with Officer Ebel in close foot pursuit, Officer Jeff Thurman spotted the fleeing teen and drove around the end of the home to cut him off. The two (patrol car and suspect) met at the corner of the house. Officer Thurman swerved to avoid hitting the suspect and crashed into the side of the home, punching a foot - square hole in the siding with his car's push bar. The suspect was unable to halt his forward momentum and crashed into the side of the patrol car, which might have run over his feet. However, the suspect inunediately jumped back up and appeared to be ready to flee again when the pursuing Officer Ebel tackled him to the ground, slightly injuring the officer's knuckles. Officer Ebel quickly overwhelmed and arrested the 15 -year -old, a suspect not unknown to Spokane Valley Police. The suspect was booked into the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Center. The teen likely will face felony charges of Possession of Stolen Property and Attempting To Elude a Police Vehicle. Additional charges may also be pending. (Personnel Note) Spokane Valley Police Detective Chuck Haley has been selected Chief Master Sergeant of the Washington State Air National Guard (WANG). Haley, a 3 property crimes investigator assigned to the Spokane Valley Precinct, is now the senior enlisted member of the entire Washington State National Guard. He will serve as the personal advisor to the Commander of the WANG, a two -star general, on all issues regarding the welfare, readiness, morale, proper utilization and progress of the enlisted force. (Emphasis) Wildfire season has arrived in Spokane County, and Sheriff Mark Sterk requested deputies and Spokane Valley Police officers to strictly enforce laws prohibiting the tossing of cigarettes and cigars from vehicle windows. Throwing burning smoking materials from moving vehicles is considered a significant source of wildfire in Washington, and motorists caught violating the law face a $1,025 fine. Those motorists who successfully argue that the cigarette or cigar was extinguished before they tossed it out of the car still face a $94 infraction for littering. In his memo to staff, Sheriff Sterk said he appreciates that deputies and officers have the discretion to cite or not cite offending motorists, but that he expects at the minimum that offenders will be "stopped and educated" regarding the violation and potential consequences. The sheriff encouraged all residents of Spokane County to assist in the prevention of unintended fires during the 2004 wildfire season. 4 2004 JULY CRIME REPORTS July, 2004 July, 2003 2004 to Date BURGLARY 114 89 564 FORGERY 45 33 270 MALICIOUS MISCHIEF 108 110 734 NON - CRIMINAL 87 60 544 PROPERTY OTHER 170 178 1,043 RECOVERED VEHICLES 25 13 170 STOLEN VEHICLES 41 42 300 THEFT 301 229 1,709 UIOBC 0 0 6 VEHICLE OTHER 3 5 38 VEHICLE PROWLING 114 98 768 TOTAL PROPERTY CRIMES 1,008 857 6,146 ASSAULT 67 72 521 DOA /SUICIDE 12 9 108 DOMESTIC VIOLENCE 70 67 446 HOMICIDE 0 0 2 KIDNAP 1 2 12 MENTAL 28 36 220 MP 14 17 70 PERSONS OTHER 134 151 989 ROBBERY 6 1 31 TELEPHONE HARASSMENT 13 20 119 TOTAL MAJOR CRIMES 345 375 2,518 ADULT RAPE 2 4 22 CHILD ABUSE 9 4 78 CUSTODIAL INTERFERENCE 24 32 111 SEX REGISTRATION F 1 0 4 INDECENT LIBERTIES 2 0 12 CHILD MOLESTATION 9 7 50 CHILD RAPE 2 2 17 RUNAWAY 44 39 247 SEX OTHER 23 10 93 STALKING 6 2 21 SUSPICIOUS PERSON 46 42 219 TOTAL SEX CRIMES 168 142 874 DRUG 43 33 629 ISU OTHER 0 0 0 TOTAL ISU 43 33 629 TOTAL TRAFFIC REPORTS 178 310 1,904 TOTAL REPORTS RECEIVED 1,742 1,717 12,071 airview on aver Josep • 1 011 - p -, o� _ - irabeau e a - Grace 1 =-o , ,= r 5 _c II r C I • di n91 - ! c K- ► ti 1_ a '.Indiana ! _ -- Maxw I' l r 90 r, 1 . i D srnet - - ' ,1 i� c l T: �" 1 - r- �fv�allon .'�! l � roa�ivva � cut _ Vatleay - — T' ' "IY rr � - T _ v wr - -5r 1 -Maln- a Slnto � Slnto ra 1 Sint o Sharp 9c _ { ---11`1 J Alk � 011ve�� - `- i M a l �� 1 S r lati._( (1 I l i I 1 — to 0 1 1..

At 6:45 p.m., Chairman Gothmann opened a public hearing to consider a proposal to amend Ordinance No.03 -053 to provide interim zoning pursuant to Chapter 14.615 Urban Residential Estate (UR -J) Zone. Mr. Gothmann read aloud Item No.9.A.1 from the City of Spokane Valley Planning Commission Rules of Procedure, regarding conduct of persons wishing to speak at a Public Hearing. Members of the public were encouraged to fill out a blue card or sign a list if they wished to speak or officially weigh in on the topic. Personal comments were limited to three minutes, and group representatives were given five minutes to speak. Ms. Sukup explained that two well - established Spokane Valley neighborhoods, currently designated by the Comprehensive Plan as Low Density Residential, have requested consideration of a regulatory mechanism which would permit the keeping of a limited number of large animals, primarily horses on their property. These neighborhoods were originally established over twenty -five years ago to allow the keeping of such animals, a practice that was permitted under a previous zoning classification. The proposed Urban Residential Estate (UR -I) Zone provides for this request on an interim basis up to twelve months, until better design standards can be developed. Ms. Sukup explained that the Planning Commission must vote to adopt the Interim Zoning Work Plan and Findings of Fact in addition to the amended ordinance before forwarding the proposal to City Council. Commissioners asked for clarification on several matters, including setbacks and lot sizes. Commissioners Carroll, Gothmann, Robertson and Beaulac stated that they live in or adjacent to the neighborhoods which might be rezoned if Ordinance No. 03 -053 is amended as proposed. The proposal to establish an interim Urban Residential Estate (UR -1) Zone was open to Public. Testimony at 6:55 p.m. Public Testimony in favor of UR -1 proposal: Chuck Hafner, 4710 S. Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA. Speaking on behalf of both the Ponderosa and Rotchford Acres Neighborhoods. Mr. Hafner presented the Commission with an envelope containing citizen petitions signed by over 600 residents of the Ponderosa and Rotchford Acres neighborhoods in favor of having their one -acre tracts rezoned as Urban Residential UR -1. He also handed the Commissioners copies of a memorandum detailing the reasons that citizens of these neighborhoods desire this change in zoning. Mr. Hafner and many of the citizens present had discovered the change in their neighborhood zoning from SR -1 to UR- 7 only last year, and they have been working with Ms. Sukup since then to resolve the issue. Residents don't want their neighborhoods to become segmented or degraded by unrestrained growth. He asked the Planning Commission to consider the wishes of hundreds of citizens and make a recommendation to the City Council for approval of the proposed amendment to Ordinance No.03 -053, establishing an interim Urban Residential Estate (UR- 1) Zone in the Spokane Valley. Gail G. Stiltner, 10119 E. 44` Spokane Valley, WA. Ms. Stiltner spoke in favor of the proposal. She does not want her neighborhood to retain its current UR -7 zoning designation. Richard C. Behm, 3626 S. Ridgeview Drive, Spokane Valley, WA. Began to speak to the development of a controversial P.U.D. in the Ponderosa Area. Chairman Goth.mann reminded him and the other citizens present that. this public hearing was not called to discuss the P.U.D. Michelle Wolkcy, 461.7 S. Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA. Ms. Wolkey is in favor of the UR -1 Zone. She and her husband considered many neighborhoods before settling in the Ponderosa. They have lived there since 1999. She urged the Planning Commission to keep the area at one house per acre. Richard Berkscth, 3715 S. Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA Mr. Berkseth asked the Commission if approval of the UR -1 interim zone proposal would affect the high density development plans in the adjacent UR 3.5 Zone. Chairman Gothmann explained that the interim zone would affect only those people with properties inside the indicated boundaries. Mr. Berkseth is in favor of the proposed UR -1 Zone, but stated his objection to high density development outside the area boundaries. Don A. O'Neal, 10001 E. 48 Spokane Valley, WA. Chairman Gothmann thanked Mr. O'Neal publicly for helping him save his house from burning during the firestorm several years ago. Mr. O'Neal spoke in favor of the UR -1 proposal. He stated that if the Ponderosa continued to be designated as UR -7, the neighborhood could potentially grow by 2,400 units in vacant lots within the proposed UR -1 boundaries. This makes the high density residential units proposed outside the UR -1 limits pale in comparison. David French, 4221 S. Driftwood Drive, Spokane Valley, WA. Mr. French spoke in favor of the UR -1 proposal. He has lived at his present address for twelve years and likes the large lots in his neighborhood. Jean Gulden, 10226 E. 44 Spokane Valley, WA. Ms. Gulden spoke in favor of the UR -1 proposal. Her family moved to the Ponderosa for the open spaces. She hopes that the City will make this change to the Zoning Code so that money will not become the motivating factor for Valley landowners' development decisions. A rural lifestyle is precious to Valley citizens, and the zone change that switched the Ponderosa to UR -7 was "legislation without representation ". Other citizens present who were in favor of the proposed amendment to Ordinance No.03 -053 but didn't wish to speak were: Carolyn Blom, 4324 S. Farr Road, Spokane Valley, WA Robert S. Behm, 1141 E. 44 Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA Cheryl Sparr, 4314 S. Locust Road, Spokane Valley, WA Carol Carkup, 4711 S. Highway Court, Spokane Valley, WA John & Corinne Hennessy, 4620 S.

University, Spokane Valley, WA Public Testimony opposed to UR -1 proposal: David Worahood, 10620 E. Cimmaron Dr., Spokane Valley, WA Mr. Worahood spoke against the proposal. He has lived in the Ponderosa since 1967, and originally purchased his property with the thought that he would bui.ld a smaller house on the lot to move to in his later years.

Neutral Public Testimony: Meg Arpin, 1117 E. 35 Avenue, Spokane, WA 99203 Ms. Arpin is an attorney representing the client K.GT,1.:.1.,.C. Her client doesn't oppose the proposal to rezone specified areas, however believes the current language of the UR -1 Zone could be utilized in other Valley neighborhoods for which it was not intended. Ms. Arpin handed out a proposed amendment to add to Chapter 14.615, Section 14.615.100 Purpose and Intent of the Urban Residential Estate (UR -1) Zone proposal. The proposed change of language follows (key: eld- language; proposed new language): "The purpose of the UR -1 zone is to preserve the character and vitality of existing fully developed neighborhoods consistingprimarily ofl -acre lots which were created through a orrnal lattin .rocess ursuant to RCW 58.17.0.10 more than twenty -fir s ago and which have historically permitted the keeping of a limited number of large animals and livestock Lots are presently served by a public water system and may require connection to a public sewer .system. The residential character necessitates the provision of paved roads and other public facilities. The UR -1 Zone is not intended to circumvent the intent of the Comprehensive Plan that residential development within the Urban Growth Area]UGA) be urban in nature. Commissioner Crosby asked what the term "fully developed" meant. Ms. Sukup explained that any area that is developed 95% or more is considered fully developed. Janice Kerbistein, 9716 E. 45 Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA Ms. Kerbistein asked Mr. Gothmann to read the last sentence of Ms. Arpin's proposed language. She had some reservations about the 95% figure. Ms. Sukup explained that this is a planning rule of thumb, but it is not hard and fast. Corrunissioner Blum stated that the wording of the ordinance shouldn't be changed halfway through the Public Hearing. Corinne Hennessy, 4620 S. Woodruff Rd., Spokane Valley, WA Asked that Chuck Hafner speak on behalf of the neighborhoods regarding the proposed change of language. She agrees with Commissioner Blum regarding the late submittal of additional language. Tom Beyda, 9403 Holman, Spokane Valley, WA Mr. Beyda asked the Planning Commission to advise the crowd present how to effectively provide input into issues that impact the areas they live in.

GIVLA. Michelle Wolkey, 4617 S. Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA Ms_ Wolkey is also an attorney, and feels that Ms. Arpin's request for a change in language defeats the purpose of the public hearing. She registered a forma] objection to Ms. Arpin's request. Morgan Garrett, 9719 E. 44 Spokane Valley, WA Ms, Garrett rides her horse on the streets Ponderosa, sometimes past the area that is potentially going to become High density residential_ She does not relish the thought of.`high density residential development in her neighborhood, Tom Walker, 10415 E.

Sheila Woolstencroft, 10329 E. 44 Avenue, Spokane Valley, WA Ms. Woolstencroft asked Jean Gulden to address the crowd a second tune. Ms. Gulden asked the Commission to remember that the people who invest the most time, energy and money into land development are typically wealthier than the people who actually live in the areas being developed. Chuck Hairier, 4710 8, Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA. Speaking on behalf of both the Ponderosa and Rotclhford Acres Neighborhoods. Mr. YlaFner reminded Commissioners and staff that the citizens of These areas have spent a year determining what is right for the neighborhoods. He doesn't think that an amendment to the language should be taken into consideration at this time. Richard Berkseth, 371.5 S. Woodruff, Spokane Valley, WA Mr. Berkseth asked why some of the outlying areas of the Ponderosa weren't also being rezoned. because the outlying areas are zoned for high density development, the proposed P.U.D. can still be built as proposed.

FIe advised the crowd to keep informed of the Comprehensive Plan development to see if this interim zone becomes permanent. Commissioner Kogle suggested that Ms. Arpin's amended language be presented to the City Council during its deliberations of the UR -1 Zone. Commissioner Robertson spoke to the issue of subdividing acre lots within the boundaries of the proposed UR -1 Zone, and verified with Ms. Sukup that exceptions could be made for folks like Mr. Worahood.

Regionally, Region IT Summer Reading was also the name of the game in July for Region II. Seeing kids and parents in the library in droves for both the reading as well as the programs is always rewarding, and though staff feel the intensity of the interaction around program times, the smiles on the faces make it well worth while. In Information services /Adult services (Karen Byrne, regional supervisor) one of the plain activities of the month was a region -wide analysis of the allocation of librarians and information specialists to determine programming, information and collection management needs. In Youth Services (Mary Ellen Braks, regional supervisor), summer reading programs ended but there's still 5 weeks left for the kids to read and collect their free book. Program attendance at Valley was higher than last year; on the other hand, Argonne had very low turnouts — we just don't seem to be getting the attendance there that we used to. The fall storytime schedule was set, with the addition of another toddler time at Valley and maintaining the baby lapsit in a morning time slot. Work began on weeding the basement collection at Valley and moving books to the regular stacks, and weeding also took place at Argonne. Argonne (Judy Luck, branch supervisor): Sumner Reading programs ended on the 28 h, with a good crowd for the Booksnack Backpacks. The display case is still filled with works from local artist Jim Bartell and a customer inquired about putting ul a seashell display. Our adult fiction collection has been weeded. Because branch supervisor Judy Luck was on leave for most of the month, several staff who normally work at other branches filled. in for her. Otis Orchards (Bev Bergstrom, branch supervisor): We had two well attended puppet shows and attendance of 12 at our Clue- Done -it and abundant bodies at the Mad Science program. Every time the scientist asked for volunteers, 50 hands went up. They loved getting squirted and smoked. The final Summer Reading program was S'rnore Songs and the children where thrilled with the campfire. One little girl asked "why we didn't have real S'mores" and we had to explain that "real fires" were not allowed in the Library. Valley (Ellen Miller, regional manager): The hallway down to the meeting room has been lined with canoes to guide the way for summer reading programs and staff have added objects, animals and people to the canoes as the summer has gone on. The kids have loved it. I heard one child say, "Let's see what's in the canoes this week ", as we went down the stairs. We're getting more and more kids coining in to collect their prizes now. It really is quite fun to see how the kids choose their books. Some walk right over and have it picked out in 30 seconds. Others really look over all the books to make sure they're getting the best one, and it's really hard to pick just one. Customers are becoming more and more comfortable with our self -check stations. We find that usage increases when we have a staff person posted at the station available for questions and encouraging customers to give it a try. Our usage this month ranged between 44% of daily checkout to 29 %, with an average for the month of 36% of total checkouts at Valley. Information services staff have indicated that customers are asking for a self checkout station on the 2nd floor. As a result, we are investigating our options and looking at the feasibility of adding a station near the information desk on the 2nd floor. The cooperative program that we have established with the Spokane Valley Arts Council continues to be successful. We have a new display of local artists' work hung at Valley the first of July. The coverage from the press for these displays has been quite impressive. In addition the children's art Page2of6 classes that they have offered here at Valley as a partnership with our Summer Reading program have been successful with weekly attendances between 6 - 10, 26 people attended the July 21 organizational rneeting for a Valley Library Friends group and another meeting was held the following week. Outreach: For a taste of outreach services, adult services supervisor Karen Byrne accompanied Don Nelson on an outreach run to the Cheney area. Here's her report: "it was an excellent one -day taste of the entire outreach program. First we went to the 13W early childhood facility, where Don did a toddler and pre - school story tune. I-le greets these children by dame and knows the teachers. 'Then we went to a.n assisted living and nursing care Faci.li where we delivered westerns, mysteries, romances and a bunch of non - Fiction to eager regulars of our program. We rnet the retired cowboy (rancher) who also gels romances for his aunt who lives .in the nursing facility. Then we delivered history materials to the local historian who is a regular user at the assisted living facility. Then it was on to a grou.p home for developmentally - disabled adults- Don is amazing to watch, and 1 am back i.n touch with the vital service that library outreach services provide for all of ou]• District citizens." COLLECTION SERVICES Library materials 6,435 items were processed and distributed to branches, slightly fewer items than July of last year but still. alxnost 25% ahead of last year Once again this month we added slightly more print and non- print items than we deleted, so the net decrease in the collection size is down to 12,097, The total. doesn't include periodical issues. July orders included 1,422 titles and 5,057 copies. We're beginning to create bigger orders again to receive items published in the fall --the biggest pu.b]ishiing season of the year. Programming Youth services coordinator Thorn. barthelrness performed 11 Summer Reading programs at branches and continued his weekly storytimes at Forth Spokane. Many branches (Airway Heights, Cheney, Deer Park, Medical Lake, Moran Prairie, and Valley) saw an increase in summer reading program attendance, which was up 6% District -wide. As all programs aren't over (Library Survivor for teens is in August) and kids are still a adi.ng, final stats won't be available until August. ADMiNITRATION Database maintenance Although we periodically delete database records of customers who've been inactive for three years, a variety of issues delay parts of the cycle. We can't delete anyone who has outstanding charges or items on their account, so we have to write off and delete this information before we can delete the registration record. Collection agency referrals add other complications. The upshot is that there hasn't been a routine cycle, and at a given time, the database can include customers whose accounts have been inactive for four or more years, With a major cleanup protect recently completed., we'll be bringing the database current on all Recount fronts through June 30. We'll then begin to mnaintaivn the patron database on a monthly basis so it can more accurately reflect active customers —aid won't include bibliographic database materials that aren' actually available. The net effect of this project will be a drop in our total registered borrowers and in our collection size. Preliminary reports included a fine purge amount of Page 3 of 6 $19,749.00 and an item purge value of $15,714.00, which includes 1093 items. Once the fees have been purged, customers who have cards that expired in the first half of 2001 will also be purged. We will then begin to do this process on a routine monthly basis. Web site The Web team met and decided that with the restructured Web services specialist position there was no longer a need for. a Web team. Content development and management can be handled as it is in the non - virtual world, Web services specialist Doug Stunnbough and other IT staff can handle the day -to -day operations, and task forces can be used to assist with any big projects. The other area of discussion was the long - delayed site redesign. That project will be coordinated by the rr department, based on input that was compiled earlier this year. Doug and Priscilla will begin some preliminary planning that should enable us to have a schedule around the end of August. Moran Prairie project design The predevelopment meeting for the Moran Prairie project was held with county planning and engineering staff. The good news is that the engineering department is assuming that the site's geology is the same as that to the east and south and won't even require test wells to verify that a stormwater retention pond isn't required. This will save considerable time and money. The bad news is that the new 2003 International Building Code has more stringent fire sprinkling requirements than the old code. A sprinkler system adds costs; no sprinkler system limits future expansion possibilities. With the new building code, we'll also have to provide accessible routes of travel (paved walks) from all emergency exits to the public right -of -way and a.n additional barrier -free parking stall. Updated site and floor plans and building elevations were discussed with ALSC at project com.mittee, meetings. The design is corning along quite well, and ALSC is successfully addressing issues as they're identified. Now that we're in the design development phase, plans are becoming quite specific. ,GOVERNMENT RELATIONS Spokane Valley Library Capital Facilities .Plan: The 38 -page report and recommendations on Spokane Valley library capital facility needs was completed and distributed after review by the advisory conunittee. The major recommendations are to replace Valley Library with an approximate 49,000 square foot facility in a 5 to 10 year time frame and to add a 15,000 square foot branch in a 10 to 20 year time frame. The existing Valley building is about 25,000 square feet, but about 3,000 of that is used for District operations — Outreach and IT. The plan will be presented to the city council by the deputy city manager on August 10 and will be discussed by the SCLD board at its August 19 meeting. Library services RFP: The RFP for library services was scheduled to be completed at the end of July. GOVERNANCE Initiative 864 The failure of Initiative 864 to garner enough signatures for ballot certification gives another year of breathing room to local governments as we struggle to balance budgets within existing revenues. '\_ Whether this failure was the result of the low -key statewide "decline to sign" campaign, Mr. Eyman's Page 4 of 6 fundraising problems, or a combination of both, it's still significant. However, he said at his July 2 press conference that he'll file a more stringent property tax initiative in January 2005. Legislative planning I chaired the July 16 Washington Library Association legislative planning committee, which was focused on the legislative agenda for the 2005 session. The preliminary list of potential initiatives to be pursued includes multi-year levy lid lifts and excess levies, the addition of public libraries to the sex offender local notification requirements, regulation of initiative petition paid signature gatherers, a technical correction to the partial. county library district statute, library district eligibility for u.se of the public works small works roster process, and support of proposed funding for a Secretary of State's Office / Washington State Library "Washington Electronic Library" statewide database access program. There was also agreement that it would be important to support legislation related to reading readiness, emergent literacy, or early childhood development that might be introduced by public health or education agencies.

August 17, 2004 Mr. Tone . Laranis RE: rlectiou Pub]ic Comments/ Questions Dear Mr. Laranis: i ain writing in response to your question addressed at the August 10, 2004, council meeting concerning the cost of pItu ing the full -width paving issue on the ballot_ Please be advises that the cost of the election is calculated by Spokane County and depends upon the number of issues to be placed on the ballot. The City of Spokane Valley already has the fire district annexation issue scheduled for the September election, and there are likely other issues from other jurisdictions for that same election date. However, it is too premature to estimate the cost of placing the full -width paving issue on the ballot. Once the election date gets closer, the County will be in a better position to give us an estimate.
