Bringing People and Resnurces Togather
Long-Range Plan (2005-2010)
Each of us depends on our natural resources for food, clothing, shelter and recreation. The
increasing demands on these resources have created great concern for their use and care for
future generations.
This program is sponsored by the Spokane County Conservation District and reflects a
coordinated effort of groups, agencies, and interested individuals within the District's
boundaries. The long-range plan consists of an inventory of the available resources, an
assessment of the resource problems, and the establishment of reasonable priorities and
actions for the years ahead.
Your input in this process is critical. Please review the draft 5-Year Plan, then take a few
minutes to answer the following questionnaire and return it to our office. You can also provide
feedback through our website at www.sccd.orq. Thank you! Questionnaire
1. What do you think are the three most critical resource issues in Spokane County? (Circle
three or write in your own.)
Water Quality Forestry
Water Quantity Urban Sprawl
Land Use Riparian Areas
Animal or livestock Other
2. The three critical geographic areas identified in Spokane County are the Hangman (Latah)
Creek watershed, Little Spokane watershed, and the Spokane River aqu'rfer sensitive areas.

We Serve & Why
Each of us depends on our natural rESOUrces for food, clofhing, sheffer, and recreation. The increasing
demands on our resources have created great concern for the use and care for future generafions. This
long-range plan consists of an inventory of the available resources, an assessment of the resource
problems, and the establishment of reasonab/e priorities and actions for the years ahead.
Mission of the Spokane County Conservation District
To promote the sustainable use of natural resources in Spokane County.
Vision of the Spokane County Conservation District
To help protecf, conserve, and enhance nafural resources.
Natural Resource Priorities and Goals: ■ Lands and resource rssues wifhrn Spokane County will be recognized without bocrndaries, resulting in a ,
seam/ess integrafion of conservation services.
Critical Geographic Areas: (attached map)
• Harrgman (Latah) Creek Watershed
• Little Spokane River Watershed
Information - Education Priorities and Goals:
• Increase the general population's knowledge of District functrons and services through a new websife
which will be a°hub" for Drstrict information, programs, and activities.
• lnform and educate the general public about sustainabiliiy so thaf they can make informeci choices and
decrsions regarding the natural resources of Spokane County.
District Operations Priorities and Goals:
■ Operate the business in an effective and effrcient manner includrng accou17fing, grant vouchering,
personnel management, Supervisor elecfrons & appointments, training & developmEnt, an»ual planning
and reporting.
Trends Impacting Conservation in the Spokane County Conservation District
• As federal, stafe and local agencies are havirrg to cut costs fhrough program and employee reductions,
the Drstrict rs bearrng the burden of having fo provide more servlces, in many cases wrthout additional
resources. Local Jurisdictions are turning to the Drstricf to provide services to constituencies that have
not been served in fhe past. Pressure on District personnel and resources will most likely continue to
increase, as the economy confrnuES fo slump. The call for additional services rs not unwarranted and
perhaps even not unwantEd, but it can make planning for future resource needs difficerlt.
• Continued rapid growfh in the County has placed additional sfrain on our abilrty fo adQquafely protect
our necessary arrd often fragile natural resources. Our sole-source aqurfer is at risk through additiona!
cievelopment without adeguate sev✓age tieatment capacity. Land use changes from rural to
~ rural/suburban resrdenfial are impacting water quality and qusntrty throughout fhe Counfy. Stream
sedimentation from growth areas is increasing as the urban/rural interface confinues to expand ouhward.
Wildfire in fhat interface is an increasing threat to property and lives, something this region has already
tragica!!y experienced.
• Smal1 rural cornmunitres and farms in the County confinue to be under economic pressure from
depressed commodity pnces, uncertain foreign markefs and rncreasing operational expenses and
regulations. Skyrocketing petroleum prices are impactrng every segment of our society but the farms
and small communrties are feeling the pinch more deeply than most. Fertrlizer and fuel costs have
narrowed already slim profit margins. Conservation efforfs are impacted as well with fewer dollars
availabJe for cost share projects.
St:rategies to Address Trends
■ The District has more opportunities fo form working partnerships with agencies, local jurisdictions and
private industry to address fhe resource conservation needs of the County. Through innovative
programs and funding options, we wiN be able to provide services to an ever-Expanding constituQncy
without any degradation of qualify. More efficient use of our website and expanding our search for
fundrng should adequafely address the rncreased demands.
• The Disfrict is addressing water resource issues on a watershed basrs, eliminating the traditional
political boundaries and concentrating on solving the problems. Through working agreements with other
districts in Washington and Idaho, we vvil! 6e able to address the resource needs of fhe entire
watershed, thereby protecting the water quality through the complete course of the rrver or stream.
~ Through public information and education and the appNcatlon of best managEment pracfices on all
categories of land use, ground and surface water profection will become standard operating procedure
fhroughouf the County. With the cooperafion of ofher agencies, Fire Safe Spokane is becoming an
important outrEach activity for the District. Protectrng homes and lives from wildfire is a priority. Public
outreach and education will have an impacf on rural development with defensible space around homes
becoming a common sight.
~ Petroleum prices are going fo go up, probably until the day we run out of it. But with the ability to offsef
some of our petroleum needs through the use of alternative fuels, a petroleum shortage may nof be as
devastating as first expected. District promotion of on-farm producfion of altarnative fuel feedstocks will
provide a much- needed opfion for our area farmers. Biodiesel feedstocks such as mustard and canvla
can be reaclily groivn in fhe region with no changes in current farming operations. The economrc
benefrts to the rural communifies and the farmers will be far-reaching and permanent. A true win/win
scenario, the establishment of an oil seed industry wilf facilitate the estabJishmenf Qf a broclrESel indusfry
with a potential market demand of over 700 million gallons of on-road fuel annually. !t rs doubtful we
could ever meei the entrre market demand, but it is assured fhat the markets for whatever fuel is
prodciced vvill be constant. The farmers will benefrt through cooperative ownership of a regional
crushing facility and the multitude of value added products being produced, not just the oil for biodiesel.
Being able to grow the feedstocks, take advanfage of a variety of markets for the meal and the or/,
produce fuel from the oil and use the fuel rn thcir equrprnenf makes good econornic and conservatfon
sense.
Staffing Needs
~ • Current statfing is inadequate to handle the workload of this plan. At least one additional staff per'son (1
F7E) will be needed to handle the increased workload from annexing the City of Spokane in 2005 and
possibly two FTE's by 2006.
• As the sorl survey nears completron, if will become rmportant to educafe the public about using the
newly formatted survey. !f is estimated that 2 FTE's will be refained beyond 2007 far this purpose.
• The staffing needs for the Water Resource Department is dependent upon the number of grants
awarded during a year. Current staffing is at 6 FTE's, projected at 9 FTE's by 2010.
• Jncreased natural resource awareness will put an increased demand on our publrc outreach department.
Current staffing of 1 FTE will be increasEd to 3 FTE by 2010.
• Operations staffing Will need to increase as the Distrrct grows in order to support the various
departments. !t is estimated fhat 6 FTE's will be needed ln Dfstrict OperaUons by 2090.
Key Decision Makers
Spokane County Conservation Distrrct is run by a five-member Board of Supervisors (Direcfors), of which
three are clected through the District elections process. The WA State Conservatron Commission appoinfs
the other two.
■ The Board, led by the Chair, is responsible for setting policy, making major financial decisions, and
ensuring legal compliance. The Board recognizes the volume of work fo be done and has hired an
Executive Director to oversee the operation of the organization, including hiring appropriate staff to carry
ocrt the goals and objecfives as set forth by the Board.
Priority Actions
• The following is a summary of priorrty actions to be carried ouf as part of the SCCD Long Range Plan.
■ Provide a seam/ess system of delivery of conservation services throughout Spokane County.
Complete the revision of the Soil Survey for Spokane County.
Appropriate forest management practices wi!l be applied to at./east 90 percent of the NlPF
landowners, '
■ Soil erosion will be reduced in the District by up/and treafinent with conservation tillage and
raising the percentage of continuous direct seeding by land.
• Oilseed crops will be produced under direct seeding system to supply a crushing plani and
biodiesel productron facility to provide biodiese/ blends for mandaled fleet usage.

Introduction
The purpose of the Six-Year Sewer. Construction Capital Improvement Program (the
"CIP") is to delineate the County's sewer improvement priorities and associated financing
and expenditures for 2005 through 2010; and, provide authorization to proceed with the
engineering, right-of-way acquisition and preparation of plans/specifications for
construction of the capital improvements.
Sewer Construction Proqram
The purpose of the County's Sewer Construction Program is to expedite the construction
of sanitary'sewers and dramatically reduce the number of on-srte sewage treatment
facilities over the Spokane-Rathdrum Aquifer, and, to satisfy regulations established by
the State Department of Health, State Department of Ecology, Spokane County Health
District and other regulatory agencies.
This CIP details the County's planned sewer construction projects for 2005 through 2010.
The CIP was developed in accordance with the accelerated schedule for completion of
the Septic Tank Elimination Program as detailed in the 2001 Comprehensive Wastewater
Management Plan, adopted by the Board by Resolution No. 2-0563.
The CIP includes Sewer Projects within the limits of the City of Spokane Valley. These
Projects have been included in accordance with the prioritization process detailed in the
CWMP. The County plans to follow the schedule presented herein for those Projects;
and, will continue to coordinate with the City of Spokane Valley regarding the costs,
funding and schedule for these capital improvements. Wastewater Treatment Projects
The projects planned by Spokane County in the area of Wastewater Treatment fall into
two major categories. The first category is comprised of projects that are being
undertaken jointly with the City of Spokane in order to maintain the capacity of the
Spokane Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facility (RPWRF). The second category is
comprised of projects that are anticipated to be undertaken by Spokane County to
increase wastewater treatment capacity.
Sfx-Year Sewer ConstrUCtion Gapital fmprovement Program - January 2005 Page 1
Spokane Riverside Park Water Reclamation Facilitv (RPWRF) Upgrades
Spokane County currently has 10 MGD (million gallons-per-day) of treatment capacity
at the RPWRF. Significant upgrades are ongoing at the RPWRF in order to meet more
stringent discharge requirements imposed by regulation. Spokane County participates
in the cost of these projects on a"prorated share" basis.
The Table, on page 12, entitled "Projection of Costs for RPWRF Upgrades" presents
Spokane County's estimated share of these project costs for the years 2005 through
2010. It is anticipated that the County will pay for these improvements using
Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund and General Facilities Fund revenues.
Additional Wastewater Treatment Capacitv
Based upon current flow projections, areas senred by Spokane County's Sewer Utility
will need additional wastewater treatment capacity by 2012, when total flows reach the
existing 10 MGD of capacity at the RPWRF. A variety of alternatives were examined in
conjunction with the preparation of the Spokane County Wastewater Facilities Plan. An
estimate of the cost of additional treatment capacity has been prepared for financial
planning purposes based upon effluent filtration technology with subsequent effluent
discharge to the Spokane River.
At this time, it has not been determined whether the new treatment facilities will be
constructed, owned and operated by Spokane County, the City of Spokane Valley, or
by a special purpose governmental body. Spokane County recognizes that the resolution of these uncertainties may result in the transfer of these improvements to the
CIP of another jurisdiction in the future. However, the County has elected for the
present to include the estimated costs associated with the new treatment facility (as
characterized in the County's approved Wastewater Facilities Plan) in the County's
Sewer Construction CIP.
The Table, on page 12, entitled "Projection of Costs for New Wastewater Treatment Facilities" presents the estimated expenditures associated with the design, siting, and
construction of new treatment facilities for the years 2005 through 2010. It is
anticipated that the result of these expenditures will be a new treatment facility,
providing an additional 8 MGD of wastewater treatment capacity, on-line in 2012. It is
expected that bonds will be sold to pay these costs, with the debt service for those
bonds provided from the Wastewater Treatment Plant Fund and General Facilities
Fund.
This CIP has been adopted by the Board of County Commissioners of Spokane County
by Resolution No. 5- on the day of 2005.

DISCUSSION OF
WASTEWATER SYSTEM CIP,
STEP SUBSIDIES, AND FUNDING
January 4, 2005
DISCU SSIO N TO PICS
1. Mandatory Sewer Connections
2. Septic Tank Elimination Program
Schedule (STEP)
3. Alternative Subsidy Method For Capital
Facilities Rates (CFR)
4. Recommended Rate Adjustment
, z
1
MANDATORY SEWER
CONNECTIONS
~
. County Code requires connection to sewer
within one year after public sewer service is
deemed "available" by the Director
• County Code also provides: "The Director
may extend the one-year time frame for good
cause."
➢ Board agreed to extended time frame for
mandatory connections until WWTP capacity
is increased
3
MAN DATORY SEWER
w- CONNECTIONS (Cont"d)
~ 4.
. County Code requires payment of sewer
service charges commencing one year after
sewer availability, regardless of connection
status
. Along with the discretion of the Director to
extend the connection deadline, the Code
needs to be revised to temporarily suspend
the requirement to pay sewer service charges
if not connected after one year
9 Recommend Board hearing to amend the
Code accordingly
4
2
, .
,
STEP SCHEDULE/6-YEAR CIP
~ - -
. Adopted CWMP provides for completion
of STEP in 2010
~ Draft 6-year CIP includes the years
2005-2010, and completion of STEP
projects in 2010
~
5
CFR SUBSIDY
~ ~ - _
• Since 2000, the CFR subsidy has been set
at 25 % for both line charges and GFC's
. In the later program years, CFR's will
increase much more than inflation, due to
lower ERU densities in the project areas
. Year 2004 Program CFR=$5,050
. Year 2008-2010 Program CFR=$8,349
(estimated, using 25 % subsidy)
- 6
.
~
~
ALTERNATIVE CFR SUBSIDY ~ M ETH OD
. Using an annual adjustment factor rather than
straight percentage makes CFR's more
equitable for properties in later years
. Suggest annual CFR adjustment of 3.5 % on
line charges for program years 2005-2010
. Year 2010 Program CFR = $5776 (estimated)
➢ Recommend Board hearing to set 2005 CFR
rates and modify CFR subsidy method
7
. FINANCIAL CONSIDERATIONS
. In 2003, annual REET revenues to sewer program
dropped from $1,200,000 to $0
. In 2003-2004, annual Sales Tax revenues to sewer
program dropped from $3,500,000 to $0
. In 2006, annual APA revenues to sewer program will
drop from $1,800,000 to $975,000
. County share of RPWRF projected to increase from
estimated $22 mil. to estimated $36.5 mil.
. New regional plant will cost more due to inflation
impacts from delayed implementation
s
. 4
FINANCIAL IMPACTS
~
. Increased costs and decreased revenues
results in need to increase fees or charges
. Recommend increasing Wastewater
Treatment Plant Charge rather than the
General Facilities Charge
. If we change the CFR line charge to an
escalated amount, and increase the 1NWTP
charge, it needs to increase from $4.00 to
$6.68 per month
9
SUMMARY OF ,
RECOM M EN DATIONS to BOCC
1. Agreement with Director discretion to
extend sewer connection time frame
2. Amend Code to suspend requirement to pay
monthly sewer service fees if not connected
3. Adopt 6-year CIP schedule, with completion
of the STEP projects in 2010
4. Revise CFR subsidy method to annual
adjustment of 3.5 % on line charges
5. Increase WWTP charge to $6.68 per month

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: January 4, 2005 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ~ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Resolution No. 05-001, Creating a CenterPlace Coordinator
Classification and Job Description for the City of Spokane Valley
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NIA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: 2005 Budget adoption 1119/04; Council
Administrative Report 11/30/04
BACKGROUND: The CenterPlace Coordinator position was first included in the 2004 budget.
Staff anticipates filling the position in February or March 2005 - about six months in advance of
the opening of the facility.
The CenterPlace Coordinator will be responsible for overseeing the operations, maintenance
and programs of the CenterPlace Regional Center. This position will supervise an
Administrative Assistant and Maintenance Worker, who have also been budgeted for 2005.
The Coordinator will develop and implement services and programs for the new facility, create
and carry out a marketing plan in conjunction with the CVB position recently dedicated to
- marketing the Fairgrounds and CenterPlace, oversee the maintenance of the facility and have
, significant interaction with public and private groups, agencies and businesses. The successful
candidate will have experience in recrea4ion administration, hotel/convention center
management, business administration or closely related fields.
When determining placement of a new position onto the City's classification matrix, staff looks at
both internal and extemal parity. The Association of Washington Cities (AWC) compiles an
employment survey, which is very helpful in providing general comparisons to other agencies.
However, the AWC survey does not include a position comparable to the CenterPlace
Coordinator. Staff has surveyed other communities with similar facilities, but could not find a
close match in terms of expected responsibilities.
After reviewing interdepartmental equity within the City organization, staff recommends placing
the CenterPlace Coordinator position at Grade 16. It is the lowest supervisory Grade in the
matrix, and contains a mixture of supervisory positions and lead-worlcer, non-supervisory
positions. Other positions in this Grade include the City Clerlc, the Accounting Manager, the
Senior Planner and the recently approved Engineer position. They are similar in the level of
independent judgment they exercise, and in the level of complexity of the program areas for
which they are responsible_
OPTIONS: Provide direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to place Resolution No. 05-001
on the January 11, 2005 agenda.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Funds are included in the 2005 budget to fill the position.
STAFF CONTACT: Nina Regor, Deputy City Manager

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: 1-4-2005 City Manager Sign-off:
item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business new business X information
❑ admin. report pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Comprehensive Annual Financial Report (CAFR) & Audit for the nine
months ended 12-31-03
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State Law requires an annual audit of city financial statements
and our procedures each year.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No formal council action has been taken on this
subject. However, several council members attended the auditor's entrance and/or exit
conferences during the last few months.
BACKGROUND: The city prepares a Comprehensive Annual Financial Report at the end of
each year. The document contains financial statements, an auditor's opinion on the financial
' statements and financial information on the city.
The Washington State Auditor's Office audits city financial statements and procedures each
year. The purpose of the audit is to issue an opinion on:
1. City financial statements
2_ Accountability for public resources
3. legal comptiance on state law, city ordinances, grant regulations and bond covenants
The audit resulted in: 1. A clean (unqualified) opinion on our financial statements
2. No audit findings
3. No instances of non-compliance
4. No reportable conditions
These positive results were due to the hard work of Mary Baslington, Courtney Moore and Dan
Cenis. Special recognition is due Dan as he started the accounting system in the early days of
incorporation, participafed in the acquisition of the financial software, prepared the backbone of
our financial accounting system and assembled the financial statements.
Dan's 30+ years of experience in accounting and governmental organizations provided the
background needed to successfully complete our first year of financial recordkeeping.
Now that the CAFR and the audit are complete, the city will send this data to individuals and
organizations that have an interest in the city's financial health. These organizations include:
'Four national municipal bond clearing houses '`Bond counsels
"Municipal bond rating agencies 'Bond insurance c4mpanies
"Dunn 8 Bradstreet *Financial consultants
*Bond underwriters `Banks
*Investors 'Wa. State Auditor's Office
*Bureau of Census *Municipal Research & Service Bureau
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No council action is needed at ihis time. The
purpose of this memorandum is to provide information for the c4uncil.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Bankers, citizens and those involved in the municipal bond
community, including bond buyers, rating agencies, bond insurers and bond counsels, like to
have an independent opinion on the financial condition of the city. Without an annual audit the
bond community assumes greater risk and as a result, the city vvill pay greater interest rates on
city debt.

Re: Initiative and referendum.
1. V1'HAT ARE THE YOWERS OF 1NITIATTVE AND REFERENllUM?
These powers represent an aitempt to eiilarge the legislacive decision-making role of the
general electorate. The easiest way to differe•ntiate between the powers of iniciative and
referendtun is that the power of initiative is used to proposc ncw legislation, and the power af
referendum is used to review legislation already Approved by the city's legislative body. Li
VlFashington, ttie two powers are linked so that any municipality that adopts the power of
initiative also adopts the power of referendum (and vice•-versa).
A. 1niNativc
The power of initiative (as it applies lo municipalities) is the power of the voters of a city
to dir.ectly initiate and enact legislation. The process begius with the f ling of a pelition
containing a specifietl numbi:r of signatures that proposes an ordinance for ndoption by the
mutucipality. It the number of sigiiatures is deemed sufficient, the proposed ordinance musl
either be adoptcd by the city cauncil or submitted io the entire electorate af the municipa.lity for a
votc. Oiily ordinances may bc adopted by initiative. The initiative power is not available to
adopt resolucions or motions.
B. Referencfum
The power of referendum in a municipality is the right oS the citizens co have an
ordinance lhat has been passed by the city cauncil submitted to the voters for tlieir approval or
rejection. The procE.ss begins with the filing of a petition with a rcquired ntuiiber of signatures of
registered voters privr to thc cffective date of the Urdinance; which must be at least 30 days after
1
passage. [f the number of signattires is cieemed sufficient, the en'ectiveness of the ordinance is ~
suspendcd until either it is repealed by the city council or it is submitted to the voters of ttie cit},
for apprnval ar rejection in an elcction. The power of rcferendum is only apPlicable to
ordinances. Resolutions, molions, aiid other council actions are not subject to r.eferendum.
H. STArI"UTQRY AUTHORI.TY
The powers of initiative and referendum are not automatically included in the powers
granied to a first-class city or a non-chartez code eity by siatute. The state legislature must gant
these powers in the enabling legislation of a first-class city or a nnn-charter code city. Cities and
toxviis with the comniission form of govcriunent, whicb are rare (Shelton being the only
Washington city with the conuuission form of government); au[nmatically have the powers of
iiutiative and referEndum included in their enabling statutes.
Only home-rule counties that have adopted charters (King, Whatcom, Pierc:e, Snohomish,
and Clallam counties) have the powers of initiative and referendum (if their respective charters
include some provision for the Powers). Spokane County, whicli does not have a charter, does
nat have the powers of'initiativc and referendum.
A. Authorizing the Exercise of the Fowcrs of Tnitiative & Refcrcndum J
The Revised Codc of Washington (RCW) is the soLu-ce of iniiiaiive and referencium
powers given to first class cities, eode cities that have formally adopted the powers, and cities
with the commission form of government. For a non-charter code city, RCW 35A.11.080
aut.harizes the exercise of the powers of initiative and referenduiii, if the city elects to provide f.or
the exercise of those powcrs ui the manner pravided in RCW 35A.02.020, 35A.02.025, and
3 5A.02.030.
B. Exercising the Powcrs of initiative & RefErendum
'I`he rnethocl prescribed by statutc for exercising the powers of itutiative and referendtun
is as follows:
Except as provide.d in RCW 35A.11.090, and except that the number of registered
vatcrs needed to sign a petitiQn for initiative or referenduin shall be fifteen
percent of the total number of names of persons listed as registered voters within
the cit}, on the ciay of thc last preceding city general election, the powers of
initiative and referendum in noncharter code cities shall bc exercised in the
manner set forth for the commission fUrm of governmeni in RCW 35.17.240
tkrough 35.17.360, as naw or hereaftcr amcnded. ,
2
RCW 35A.1 1.100. The number of registered voters within Spokane Valley on the day of the.
"last preceding city general election" (which was held in Novcmber 2003 1) was . Thus,
in order to initiate the ccrosicieration of a legislative resolution by the gencral electorate, or in
order to refer an already enacted ordinance to a vote by the general electorate, the valid
signature.s of Spokane Valley rc€istcrcd voters on a petition would be requircd.
The pPOV1510I1S and requirements of RCW 35.17.240 - 35.17.360, and KCW
35A.41.040(4) are discussed below. Z
1. RCV1' 35.17.240
Qnce a petition for referendum ha5 been Eileci (and is found suFf cient), the legislative
body of the municipalitp is required to reconsider the ordinance subject to referenduni. Upon
reconsiderutg ille ordinance, the legislative body has nvo options: First; the legislative body can
defeat tlie ordinance subject to referenduin in its entirety; or seeond, the legislative body can
submit the ordinance subject to referenduin to a vote of ttie people. '1"he operation of an
0
ordinance subject tp referencium must be suspended until either t1le referenduui pctition is found
insufficient; or the ordinance subject to referenclum is upheld by a major.ity of votes cast in the
~referendum election.
2. RCW 35.17.250
The requirements ihat apply co initiaiive petitions (e.g., the character, form, number of
signatures reyuired, the examination and certifcation process, aiid the submission lo a popular
vote of the ordinance proposed by the initialive Petition) are also applicablc io referendum
petitions, and to the ordinances challenged by ref erencium petilions.
3. RCW 35.17.260
Ordinances may be iniciated (or challenged by referendum) by petition of registered
voters of the city. Pursuant to RCW 35A.11.100, the peiition must be signed by registcred voters
in the city equal tn fifteen percent of the total number of names of persons listed as registerEd
voters within the city an the day ofthe last Preceding city general election. From this Poult, the
proccss for a rcferendum petition found to be sufifieient is contained in RCW 35.17.240,
' AccorclinD to MFtSC, the "last preceding city general election" for purposes of RCW 35A.11.100 would be the
November 2003 electiori, as ciry elections occur in odd-numbered years (see RCW 29A.04.330). lt likely does not
mattcr that the city did not actually have an elr.ction qn that date; what is impoiYant for purposes o1'the statute is that
chis is the date it would have had an election if it had incorporated earlier tlian March 2009, and that ihis is the date
certain from which the base number of registered voters is decerinined.
a RCW 35A.01.040(4) replaced RCW 35.17.280 wich rcgarcl to cnde cities.
3
discussed above. If an initiative petition is found sufficietit, and if it contains a request that, ,
unless passed by the legislative body of the city, the ordinance be submitted to a vote of the
registered voters of the city, the legislative body has two options: Fu•st, the legislative body can
pass the proposed ordinancc withouc alteration within twcnty days after the county auditor's
ceitifieace of sufficiency was received; or second, lhc legislative bUdy can cause a special
election to be held on the ncxt election date (as provided in RCW 29.13.020) that occurs no
sooner than forty-five days afl:er the elcction is called, for submission of the proposed ordinance,
wiihout alteration; to a vote of the people. Hdwever, if a general election will occur within
ninety days, submission of the proposed ordinance must be made nn lhe general election ballot;
precluding tlle need for a special election.
4. RCVV 35.17.270
A petitioner prepaeing an initiativc petition for submission to the legislative body of a city
must follow the procedures ofRCW 35.21.005, or R.CW 35A.01.040 for code cities.
° 5. RCW 35A.01.040(4)3
Within three ciays of the filing of a pEtition, tlle officer with whom the petition is filed
shall transmit the petition to the county auditor. The oFficer whosE duty it is to determine the
sufficiency of the petition (the_ ctiunty auditor) sha11 praceed to make such a determination with
rcasonable prompmess.
The county auditor is required to file a certificate reflectule the petition's "terminal ddte"
wilh the officer who initially received the filed petition. The "terminal datc" is thc date on which
the determination of sufficiency was begun. Additional pages of one or more signatures inay be
added to tlle petition by filing with the appropriaCe {iling officer prior to the tennination date.
Any signer of a f lecl petition may wiehdraw his or her signature by a wriiYen request for
witlidrawal filed with the receiving officer prior to the terminal date.
6. 17CW 35.1.7.290
If the petition is dcemed insufficienl by thc county auditor, or if the ]egislative body of
the city refuscs to act on a suffcient petition as required by statute, any taxpayer may conimence
an action in the superior court against the city lo obtain a decree orcieruig an election tn be held
in the city, i f the court finds the netition to be sufficient.
7. RCW 35.17.300
' See vote 2, above.
4
As to the f4rm of an election wider the pawers of initiative and referendum, pllbllGc1t1011
of notice, the election, the canvass af the returns, and the declaralion af the results arc to be
conducted in the same way as arc other city elcctions. Any rnimbcr of proposed orciinances or
refcrendum items may be voted upon at the sanle electiou; but only one special eleclion for the
ptu-pose of eacrcising the powers of initiative and referencium may be called during any one six-
month period.
8. RCVV 35 1.7.31.0
The city clcrk is rcquired to cause the ordinance or proposition that is to bc submiited lo
the votcrs at an election to be published once in eacli of the dai]y newspapers in the ciiy. This
publication is in addition to the notice required by RCW 29.A.36.080.
9. RCW 35.1.7.330
tf the majority of votes cast in an initiativic election favor the proposcd ordinance, the
ordinance becomes effective immediately and is madE a part of the city's record of ordinances. If
the majorit), of votes cast in a referendum election are against rePealing the ord'uiance referred to
the gcneral electorate for avote, the ordinance becomes effective (pursuant tn RCVJ 35.17.240).
' 10. RCW 35.1.7.340
Upon the adbption of an ordinance initiaied by petition, or the apPrbval of an ordinance
subject lo referendum (pursuant to RCW 35.17.240), the city clerk shall write on the margin of
the recorci "prdinance by petition Nlo.....;" or "ordinancc by vote of the people.." Such an
ordinanee cacuiot be repealed or a.mended except by a vote of the people. The legislative bociY Uf
a city may, however, Propose an amendment by resolution, and cause the proposed amendment
lo be put to a vote of the people.
11.. A Ni;►te Un the Sufficiency of Petitions
l3efore a petition can initiate the direct cqnsideration of new legislation by the people; or
in arder to require already enacted legislation to be referred to a vote of the people, the county
auditor must deein a petition to he sufficient. RCW 35A.01.040 contains the suFficienc},
requirements for a petition filed for either initiative or referendum in a code city. Among those
requirements are: (a) format specifications; (b) a prescribed waining statement; (c) the
requirement that a tnie copy of aii ordinauce to be initiated or referred bc included; (d) reference
lo applicable siate statute or city ordinance (if any); (e) the format of signatures; and various
other requirements.
5
The requirement found in RCW 35A.41.040(8) pcrtains to the time period in whic.h a
petition must be filed with the city clerk to be forwarded to the county auditor for a
determination of suf.f ciency. It reads: "Signatures Fallowed by a date af signing w1iich is more
than six months prior to the date of filing of the petition sball be stricl:en." RCW 35A.01.040(8).
The practical effect of this provision is that a six month time limit on the validity of a signature
begins to toll as of the signing of that sigr►ature. Thc reference to the "date of filing" likely
means the date the pctition was filed witli the city clerk; rather tlhan the "ternlinacion datc"
previously disc:ussed.
RC`'V 35A.01.040 also provides that "[p]etitions containing tlhe required number of
signatures shall be acccpted as prirna facie valid until their invalidity has been proved." RCW
35t1.01.040(5). This provision places the burclen oF proof on a pariy who seeks to have the
petition deemed insufficient or invalid, once the peiition is shnwn to contain the requisite ntuiiber
of signatures.
Iil. .LIlVIITATIONS ON THIE USE OF I:NITIAT:IVE. & REFER:~NDUM
I..imitations on the exercise of the powers oE initiative and referendum cdn be found in
state scatutes ancl also in applicable case law.
A. Statutory I..imitaNons on the Exercise of Refcrendum Power
The statute that grants the power of referendum to code cities inc:ludes a list of types o{'
ord'uiances ttlat are not suvject to the exercise of refercndurn power. "rhese exempl ordinanccs
are not subject to the thirty-day waiting pcriod far ordinances. ThE list of exemPi ordinances is
as follaws:
1. Ordiiiances initiated by petition;
2. Emergency ordinances necessary for the immediate prescrvation of Public peace,
health, and safety that contain a statement of tirgency and are passed by a
unailimous vote hf the city legislative body;
3. Ordinances proviciing for local improvement districts;
4. Ordinances apPropriating money;
5. Ordinances proviciing for or approving collectivc bargaining;
6. Ordinaiices providing for tlie compensation of or work.ing conditions of city
employees; or
. 7. Ordinances authArizing or repealing the lr,vy of taxes. /
6
RCW 35A.11.090. These tylaes of orclinances take effect as provided in gencral law.
J B. Other LimitaYions on the Exercise of the Powers of ).nitiative find Referendum
Washington courts have recogni7ed additional limitations on the use of the powers of
initiative and referendum. Courts have employed two tests to determine wliether an ordinance is
b-lyond the scope nf direct legislation by the penple in the forni of inifiative or referendum. The
firsi test relates ta the fonn of the underlying aciion. The second tcst relates to whom the grant
o(' legislative authority is direcied. l.. Whether the Underlying Acticin is Legislative or Administrative
If the action is administrative, it is not subject to the powers of initiative and refer.endum.
Lf it is legislative, it may be subjeci to initiative and referendum (depending upon the outcome of
the seeond test). The scope of the powers of uutiative and referendum is restricted to ordinances
adopting legislative policy.
There are t4vo tests consistenliy used by Washington courls to malce the determ.ination as
ta what actions are adtninistracive and what actions are legislative. Nirst, actions relating to
subjects af a permanent anci general character are usually determined to be legislative in nattirc,
and dctions tal:en on subjects of a temporary and special cbaracter are usually regarded as
administrative in nature. Secnnd; the action is usually lesislative in naturc if it prescribes a new
policy or plan, whereas it is administrative in naturc if it merely pursuES an existing policy or
plan.
Evet1 with thesc tests as guides, the disiinction between legislative matters and
aclministrative maiters is iiol always clear. The following is a represcntative exainple of
Washington court cases that address the characterir.ation of actions as eiChc;r legislative or
administrative:
a. Ruano v. Spellman, 81 Wn.2d 820 (1973) -"l"he sclection of a eontractnr and ather
actions incident to a building contract are administrative in nature.
b. I-ieider v. Seattle, 100 Wn.2d 874 (19$4) - l\n amcndment tu a comprehensivc
street name ordinance is an administrative acCion; sincc it is enacteci pursuant to a plan already
adopted by the legislative body.
c. Leornard v. Bothell, 87 Wn.2cl 847 (1976) - A site specific rernne amendment is an I
i
administrative action; as it implements the existing zoning codc or comprehensive plan.
7
d. Ballasiotes v. Gardncr, 97 Wn.2d 191 (1982) - The implementarion of a punch-card ,
balluting system is legislativc in nature.
c. Earle M. Jor_ ensen Co. v. Scattle, 99 Wn.2d 861 (1983), and Scott Paper Co. v.
Aiiacories, 90 Wn.2d 19 978) - The setting of rates is a legislative act.
f. Durochee v. King County, 80 Wn.2d 139 (1972) - The act of granting an unclassified
use permit is administrativc in nature.
g. Citizens for a Financially Responsible Government v. Spokane, 99 Wn.2d 339, 662
P.2d 845 (1983) - The enactment of a business and occupation tax is considereti lcgislative in
nature.
h. Pagel v. Logan, 78 Wn.2d 349, 474 P.2d 247 (1970) - A dccision rcgxrding where
to locate a multipurpose stadium is a legislative act.
2. VVhether the Authority for a Particular Action was granted by the
Ilegislaturc to the City Council or to the Tlcctorate as a Whole
If the statutory authority to underlake a particular action was granted specifically to the
city council, the powers of iiutiative and referendum arc unable to be exercised. Flowever, if the
legislative grant of auttiority for an action was to ttie corporate entity, namely the electorate as a
whole, dirECt legislation in the form of the exercise of the powers of initiative and referendum is
available. The idea belund this distinction is thAt where the legislature has expressly granted
authoriry to the city council, that authority may not be subject to the power of the people to enact
or repeal legislation directly through the initiative or reFerendum process.
The first step in this cesc is to deiermine if the instant aetion is spcciiically authorized by
the state legislature. If so, the second step is to detennine to whom that authority is granled (be it
to the city council ar the corporate eutity). A granc of authority specifically to the city council
precludes excrcise of the powers of initiative and referendum as to that authorify.
As in the first test, above, the distinction beriueen authority granted specifically to the city
council and authority granted to the eleetpratc as awhole may not always be clear. The
following are examples of cases ui which Washington courts have exaituued specific issucs to
dcterinine whether the undcrlping action was subjcct to initiative and referendum bascd on the
"Grant of Authority" tesl:
,
8
a. Leornard v. Bothell, 87 Wn.2d $47 (1976) - A referendum challengin ; a rezone
,
amendment was not allowed by the cpurt because the city council, nat the electoratc as a
whole, was granted auih4rity by the legislattire to adopt and madify tlle zoiung codc.
b. State ex rel. Bowen v. K.ruegel, 67 Wu.2d 673 (1965) - An ordinance providing for
anneration is nor subject to a refereudum because the powers of aiwexation were grantecl by
ttie legislature to the mayor and city council.
c. Citizens for Financiallv Rcsponsible Government v. Spokane, 99 Wn.2d 339 (1983) -
An t►rdinance catcnding a busioess and occupation tax wfis subjcct to a referendum in a i:irst
class city because neicher the state constitution nor the state legislature restricted that taxing
power to the cit_y council.
d. State ex rel. Haa.s v. Ppmerov, 50 `'Jn.2d 23 (1957) - An ordinancc setting utility
rates for a municipality-qwned watcr system (being tinanced by revcnuc bonds) is nat
subject to referendum becausc the authoricy to set utility rates was granted to the city cauncil.
[:V. ARGUME\TTS FOR A1~TD AGAIiS'C T:E[r
POWERS OF INITTAT'1VF, A-ND RE-FERENDUM
Both sides of the initiative and referendum argument agree that mosi ae.tions of
government are best hajidled by elected representatives. Fven those who advocate widespread
use oi' the po,.vers of initiative and refcrendum agree that such powers are supplemenial to the
nornial legislative process.
A. Arguments in Favor uf the Powcrs of Initiative and Referendum
"I hosc in favor af the powers of uutiative and referendum argue that these powers
represent "direct democracy" at it:s most fundaniental levcl. Supporters feel that initiative and
re.fe.rendum powers ncutralize special interest groups, curtail corrupl:ion, provide a means for
civic education, anti put pressure on public officials to act in the public uiterest.
R. Argumcnts against the Yowers of Initiative and Rcferendttin
Crities of the powers of initiative ancl referendum aroue that thcy unclereut repre.sentative
government by removing lavvinaking authority from the hands of elected officials. OpPonents
feel that these devices result in unworlcable laws, because they reduce complex issues to a"yes"
or "no" vote by voters who may not be as well-inlormed on the iutricacies of the particular issuc
at hand as those electetl lo represent the public as lcgislators. Reliance upon tlle powcrs of
'i_nitialive and referendum, argtae adversarics of the powers, results in crudely draftcd laws tllat
9
have not been subjectecl to the usual compromisc-effecting process ot "givc-and-take" legislative
cnacttnent that is the trademark of rcpresentative democracy. -
V. ABANDONMENT ()F INI7'lATTVE AND REF.EltE, N1JCTM:
Although a commissi4n city may not abandon the powers of initiative and referendum
(unless the city changes to another fonn of government), a first class city or a c.ode ciCy may later
repeal or abandon the powers. In a commission city, the p4wers are built into the co►nmission
form of government by state stattrte, and no provision is included for repeal of the powers. First
elass cities c:an relinquish or abandon initiativc and referendum powers by amending their
charters. The procedure for a code city to abandon or repeal uutiative and referendum powers is
ttie same as is provided for abandnnment of government by a code city. The Procedure is
summarized bElow.
A. Initiation of Abandonment
There are riwo ways to initiate the repeal of initiative and referenduui powers. The first is
for ihe city council to pass a resolution of intention; proposing abandonment of inifialive and
referendum powers. The second is for the citizens to petition for abandoiuiient of the powers.
The Petition must be signed by qualificd clcctors eyual in number to not less than ten perce_nt of
tlie voles cast at the last general municipal election. Six years must have passed since the
adoption of the powers oi' initiative and refcrendum before the process of abandonment of t,hese
powers can cnmmence.
B. Citywide Election
Once the pecition has bee.n found sufficient by the eity clerk or i:he resolulion of intention
has been approved by the city council, an clection of a11 city citizens must be held. The eleetion
should be helci at thc next general election (if one is scheduled within 180 days) or at a special
election as providcd in RCW 29.13.020.
C. Election Outcomc
If a majority of the voters at the election vote co repeal the po4vers of initiative and
referenduin, they are zelinquished and no longer available.
v1. coNcLusroN
The powers of initiative and reFerendum have been adoptcd for usc in several
Washington municipalitics. All ten first-class cities have adopted the powErs in their respeccive
charters. The powers of initiative and referendum are available to all cocle cities, but they must
10
~ be specifieally adopted by each city. ivlost of the code cities in Washington have never formally
adoptcd these powers. Third-class cities and fourth-class towns are uot statutorily aut}iorized to
adopt the powers.
I❑ C1T1eS Wherc the powers of initiative and referencium are not availablc or have not bcEn
specifically adopted for use, a city council may still submit an issue directly to citizens on an
advisory ballot. Uillike ali initiative or re,Ferencium vote, however, the results of an election on
an advisory basis are not binding.
Use of tbese Powers of "direct democracy" is o-ften the cause of litigalion, ofien ovcr
whether apareieular issue is subject to these pnwers, or to detcrmine whetlier the language used
in an initiative or rcfcrendum petition complies with the law. Court detenninations are made on
a case-by-case basiS, after Examinuie the par[icular circumstances of a casc.

REFERENDUM
• The referend u m process formally begins with
the filing of a petition containing a specified

Stat.utory Authority
Counties
• Only home-rule counties that have adopted charters (King,
Whatcom, Pierce, Snohomish, & Clallam counties) have the
powers of initiative and referendum (if their respective
charters include some provision for the powers).
Cities
• The powers of initiative & referendum are not automatically
included in the powers granted to a first-class city or a non-
charter code city. State enabling legislation must authorize
the grant of these powers.
• A city may provide for the exercise of the powers by its
citizens, if authorized by enabling legislation.
• Commission cities & towns automatically have the powers of
initiative & referendum included in their enabling statutes.
Limitations on the Exercise
of Referendum Power
The statute that grants the power of
referendurn to code cities includes a list
of types of o rd i n a n ces that a re n ot
subject to the exercise of referendum
power.
Ordinances that are Statutorily
Exempt from.Referendum
The following types of ordinances are exempt from
referendum, and thus are not subject to the thirty-day
waiting period for ordinances:
- Ordinances initiated by petition;
• Emergency ordinances;
• Ordinances providing for local improvement districts;
• Ordinances appropriating money;
• Ordinances providing for (or approving) collective bargaining;
• Ordinances providing for the compensation of or working conditions of
city employees; and
• Ordinances authorizing or repealing the levy of taxes.
Limitations on the Use
of Initiative & Referendum
• Washington courts have recognized
additional limitations on the use of initiative
& referendum powers.
• 2 tests are used to determine whether an
ordinance is beyond the scope of "direct
legislation" by the people in the form of
initiative or referendum.
, ; , .
Test
• Whether the underiYing action is legislative
or administrative in nature. • If the action is administrative, it is NOT subie~ct_ to
exercise of the powers of initiative or referendum.
- Actions taken on subjects of a"temporary & special
character" are usually regarded as administrative acts.
- If the action merely pursues an existing policy or plan, the
action is likely administrative.
• If the action is legislative, it MAY BE subject to
exercise of the powers of initiative or referendum.
- Actions of a"permanent & general character" are usually
determined to be legislative acts.
. - If the action prescribes a new policy or plan, the action is
likely legislative.
Test #2
• Whether the authoritY for a particular action
was granted by the legislature to the cit
y
council or the electorate as a whole (a.k.a.,
the "Grant of Authority" test).
~ If the authority to undertake a particular action was
granted specifically to the city council, the powers of
initiative and referendum are unavailable.
• If the authority to perform an action was to the
corporate entity (namely the electorate as a whole),
exercise of the powers of initiative and referendum
may be authorized.
t _ , .
i ~ ` . . Arguments in Favor of the
Powers of Initiative & Referendum
• Initiative & referendum represent "direct
democracy" at its most fundamental level.
• Initiative & referendum powers:
- neutralize special interest groups,
- curtail corruption,
- provide a means for civic education, and
- put pressure on public officials to act in the public
interest.
Arguments Aga i nst the
Powers of Initiative & Referendum
• The powers of initiative & referendum undercut
representative government by removing lawmaking
authority from the hands of elected officials.
• Initiatives and referendums result in unworkable
laws, because they reduce complex issues to a
"yes or no" vote by voters who may not be as well-
informed on the intricacies of the particular issue at
hand as those elected to represent the public as
legislators.
• The powers or initiative & referendum result in
crudely drafted laws that have not been subjected
to the usual com prom ise-effecti n g process of "give-
and-take" legislative enactment that is the
trademark of representative democracy.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: January 4, 2005 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information X admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Discussion on amending SVMC 6.05.080 relating to infractions for
violation of partc rules.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 6.05.080.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: SVMC 6.05.080 states that anybody who violates SVMC 6.05.030 - 070 shall
have committed a class 1 infraction. (SVMC 6.05.030 - 080 are provided for your review.) A
class 1 infraction in District Court results in a$250 fine plus court costs and fees. The 4otal cost
to the citizen is $512.00 ($2501512).
Chief Walker advises that a class 1 infraction is unusual for this type of violation. That assertion
was echoed by District Court Administrator Ron Miles.
Staff requests that Council members review the types of violations contained in SVMC 6.05.030
, - 070 to determine whether a reduction in the classification of the infraction (and thus, the fine)
is appropriate. Other matters for which a person could be cited as an infraction in our City
include: Open alcoholic container (SVMC 8.20.020) is a class 3 infraction; Urinating in public
(SVMC 8.20.100) is not listed as a class of infraction, but lists a fine of $100. With court costs,
that comes to $205.
Options include reduction to a class 2 infraction, with a fine of $125/257; or a class 3 infraction
with a fine of $501103.
Please note that the more serious types of offenses, such as destruction of park property,
damage to wildlife, possession of dangerous weapon, etc., would still remain as criminal
charges pursuant to SVMC 6.05.100, and thus potentially be subject to jail.
OPTIONS: Instruct staff to draft an ordinance amending SVMC 6.05.080, request additional
information, or do nothing.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consent to have staff draft an ordinance reducing the
class of infraction.
BUDGETlFINANCIAL IMPACTS: There may be reduced revenue, although no tickets have
been issued for violations to date.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary P. Driskell, Deputy City Attomey; Mike Jackson, Parks Director.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Centennial Trail Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: There is a 40-year Interagency Cooperative Agreement between VVashington
State Parlcs and Recreation Commission, City of Spokane and Spokane Coun#y which expires
2032. Spokane County has indicated that they will no longer be responsible for the costs
associated with maintaining the trail inside Spokane Valley city limits. The City of Spokane
Valley received a letter from the State Parks and Recreation Commission inviting the City of
Spokane Valley to join the Interagency Cooperative Agreement.
Generally, the City of Spokane owns the trail corridor within its bounda(es and the State owns
the balance. The City of Spokane Valley owns a relatively small section of the corridor at Myrtle
Point.
The Cooperative Agreement does not provide collective source of funding. Each jurisdiction is
responsible for all costs related to trail operation, maintenance and law enforcement activities in
its respective area. The current estimated annual routine maintenance cost of $35,000 indudes
mowing, sweeping the trail and parking lots, cleaning Barker and Mirabeau restrooms, litter
control, painting, trimming, fence repairs, minor asphalt patching and weed control along the 6.8
miles of trail located +rvithin City limits. There are also major renovations and emergency repairs
which could cost substantially more.
OPTIONS: The City has the following options:
1) Decide not to participate in the Interagency Cooperative Agreement.
2) Participate with limited responsibility.
3) Participate as a full partner per the existing Agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION:
BUDGETlFINANCIAL IMPACTS:
Option 1 No impact.
Option 2. Approximately $35,000 per year. Funds are included in the 2005 budget but not
committed.
Option 3. Varies depend on extent of repairs and/or capital improvements. A major repair could
cost in excess of $200,000. These funds are not included in the 2005 budget.

Interagency Agreement
Purpose
Staff is seeking direction on whether or not
the City would like to be a formal partner in
the maintenance and management of the
Centennial Trail.
, .
_ . . _ . ~I
Background
• There is an existing 40-year Interagency Cooperative Agreement
between Washington State Parks and Recreation Commission, City
of Spokane and Spokane County entered into 4/30/92. The
agreement runs until 2032.
• Each jurisdiction is responsible for all costs related to trail operation,
maintenance and law enforcement activities in its area. The
Cooperative Agreement does not provide a source of funding.
• The members would like the City of Spokane Valley to maintain the
6.8 miles of the trail within its City limits. The City of Spokane Valley
has received a letter (September 10, 2004 from the State Parks and
Recreation Commission inviting the City o Spokane Valley to join in
the I nteragency Cooperative Ag reement.
• As an interim measure, the City has funded the annual trail
maintenance in 2004 at approximately $35,000. This will end on
December 31, 2004 when county contract expires.
Notable Facts
• The Centennial Trail is an important regional recreation
resource.
• Spokane County has indicated a desire to revise the
current Interagency Cooperative Agreement (ICA), but -
this has not been formally accepted by the other
members.
• The current ICA does not require consensus among
members for management decisions. For example, the
State has decided to impose a fee for parking at State
managed trailheads. The other jurisdictions are not
charging fees.
• The City of Spokane Valley owns a small section of trail
corridor at Myrtle Point. The State owns the balance of
trail within the City limits.
Estimated Cost
• The current estimated annual cost of $35,000
includes mowing, sweeping trail and parking
lots, cleaning Barker and Mirabeau restrooms,
litter control, painting, fence repairs, minor
asphalt repair & weed control along the 6.8
miles of trail.
• Estimated Major Repair Costs
- Fog Seal $25-$30,000 (needed now)
- Estimates for Hot Asphalt Overlay in future $320,000
- Potential flooding $200,000 (unknown frequency)
Funding
• General Fund (the City has budgeted
funds for 2005 but no commitment has
been made)
• Lodging Tax funding (based on regional
draw)
• Limited grant opportunities maY be
available to help with future repairs.
. .
Options
• City does not participate.
- State, County and City of Spokane would be left to
work it out. The City does own a section of trail at
Myrtle Point.
• City participates in annual maintenance only at a
fixed amount.
- Agreement could be re-written to retieve or limit City
responsibility for major repairs and capital
improvements. County is seeking this option to limit
their own financial responsibility.
• City participates as a full partner per the existing
agreement between the State, County and City of Spokane.
