Re: Disincorporation.
1. HIST0.121' OF DISINC'nI2PURA'CICaN 1~T WASH1-NG°1'UN STA`l'E
The last recorded use of the stanitory authority of a city to disincorporate was exercised in
1972, when the eicy of Westlalcc; in Grant County disincorporate_d.1 There has never been an
fl involuntai-y ciisincoiporation in Che State o('`Vashingtpn.
Pursuant to the Rcvised Code of Waslungton (TZCIND, disincorporation "[a]ctions taken under
chapter 35A.15 RCtiV n1a), be 5ubject to Potentiai revie.w by a boundar}r review boartt."2
U. STATUTORY AUTHORITY
The, authority for a nonchar[er cocle city to disincorporate is found in RCW 35A.15.010.
Fursuant ta that statute.; "[a]ny noncharter code city may be disincorporated."3 The methods f4r
initialing the process of dislllcorporaiion, the stah2tory rcquircments for the disincorporation
process, au7c1 ihe efjtcts of clisincorporatian are (liscussccl in subseyuEnt section5.
L[l. PKESC1t11iLll N1L`l'1-IOUS FOR I\iIT[AITON Ol+ ll1SiNCOlt1'U1tAT10N
' Washington Secretary of State. However, the ivlunicipal Research & Services Celiter of Washington (M RSC),
"Fucus BrieF. Uisincorporation," llecember 1999, ]is[s the most recenc Washingtnn municipal disincorporation as
being the cit}, of Elbertson (in Whitman County) in 1965.
' RCW 35A,13,001; see also Op. Atty. Gen'1: Nlo. 56 (1976),
' RCW 35A.15.0 10.
Tlie statule that grancs authority for a noncharter code r•ity to be disincarporated also provides
the wa_ys in which voluntary disincorporation may be initiated. Another state statute, RCW
35A.15.110, describes the initiatiUn af involuntary disuicorporation proceclures.
A. Voluntary Disincorpuration.
Voluntary dislli corporation may be commenced eithe.r by a petitien of eity citiiens or by
resolution of a ciry's legislaiive body.
1. Iiiitiation by Citizens' Petition
1n orcler to beoin the process of disincorporatioti by Petition, a petition for disuicorporation
musi be filed with the county auditor. "1"o be effective in commencing the disincorporation
process, the petition must be signcd by "a majority of the registered voters residcnt in such
city."4 RCW 35A.01.040(8) pertains to the time period in which a petition must be filed for a
determination of suff`iciency. Ii rcads: "Signatures fol_lowed by a date of signing which is more.
than six months priar io the date of filing of t11e petition shal] be striclcen." RCW 35A.01.040(8).
The practical e:f.fect of tiis provision is tlial a six montli time limit on the validity of a signature
begins to toll as of the signing of that signature, and thal signatures that include a date older than
sia months are "stale" and 'ulvalid.
Altllough lherE is very littlc applicable case law on the broad issue of disincarporauori, one
issue on which Washington courts have ruled is the issue of sianature validity. Specifcally, the
issue wcis whethcr a citizen who had previously signed a pctition could withdraw his or her nanie
1:rorn that pecition.' On this issue the Supreme Court of Washington held in the aCtirmatiVc.6
° 1tCW 35A.15.010.
3 State ex reL Mohr v, Citv cA Seattle: 59 Wash. 68, 71, 109 P. 309 (1910), citing Farish v, Collins, 43 1,1'ash. 392, 86
P. 557 (1906).
6 .ld. Subsequent Ir.gislative enaclments have refined thc requirernents to withdraw one's narne fi-om a pe[itiqn.
In the Ciry of Spokane Valley, 47,729 residents weee registered to vote as of the NlOVemuer
~ .
2004 generzl election.i Thus; in orcle.r to satisf"y the petition sijnature requirement; 23,865 valid
signa[ures of registered voters would bc rcquircd to initiate disincorporation.
2. Initiation hy the CiC}' Council
As an aliernative to the petitio» method; the process of disinc4rporatian can bc commenced
by a resolution of the city council.s
B. lnvoluntary Disincorporation
"f hc authority for the involuntary clisineorporation of a noncharter code city is found in RCW
35A.1 5.110, 4vhich reads (in pertinent parl): "A noneharter coclE cite may be involuntarily
dissolved in the maruier provided in R.CW 35.07230, 35.07.240; 35.07.250; aiid 35.07.260 upon
the eaistence of the conclicions siated in RCW 35.07.230."9 The conditions required to exisi
bef-Qre involuntary dissolution of a noncliarter code city can occiLr includc :
"[i]f any toNvii f'ails for iwo succcssive years to hold its regular municipal election,
or if the officers elected at the regular election of any town fail for hwo successive
years to qualify and the eovernment of the town ceases io function by reason
„lo
tliereof....
In the event any of these conditions are niet, "l'lle state auditor may pefitiAn the superior court of
the cotinty for an arder, diSSOlving the town."" The remaiuing RCW provisions that relate to
involuntary dissolution inclucle requiremenis as to the content of ttie state auditoc's petition for
dissnlulicm, nocice requiremcnts, and guidelines for conducting a hearing on the matter.' '

The remaiitcler of the disincorporation process is the same for both petiiion-initiated
disincorporatiQn and disincorporation iiiitiated by resolution ot'the city council. After passage of a resolution by the city council, or after receipt of the requisite number valid signatures on a
pecition for disincorporation (that meets the standards for petitions as prescribed by the RCW),
the legislative body [of the ci1:y] shall cause the proposition nfi ciisiiicorporation to
be subuvtted to the vocers at the next oeneral election if one is to be held within
one hundred aiid eighty days, or at a special election called for ihat purpose noc
less than ninety days, nor more than one hundred and eigtity days, aC`ter the
eertification of the petition, ar the passage oi: the resolution, as the case may be.1'
`fhe applicable statutory Provisions also prescribe the proPer ballot format to be used in such an
election upon the issue of disincQrporalion.
Pursuant to statute, if a majority of the votes cast on the dissolution proposition are in favor
of dissolution of the c.ity, the mutucipal corPoration "shall be dissolved upon certitication of the
election results to itie office of the secretary of state,"14 which is gcnerally witliin 12-14 days
after the date the election is held.
V. EFFECTS UF l)IS[VCORPORATIU\T

A. General Effects ofl)isincurporntion

B. Keccivcr -Flect'ion, Qualitications, and Duties
If the city ha,s any oirtstanding liabilities or inclebtedness the Election of a receiver is
required.'`0 According to statute; the election of a receiver shall coincide with the. eleciion on tlhe
prapositioil of disincorporation.21 If the city is believed to have no outslanding liabilities, thus
precludine ifie electiqn of a receiver, and it is later deteiniined lhat the eit), docs, ui fact, have

greatcr thaii fifty cents per thousand dollars of assessed value shall be made; nor slzall the levy be
greater Chw-i sttffiCiellt to meel the aCCruing iiitcrest until the bqnds mature.
VT. CONCLUSI.ON
As denionstrated by the rarity c►f iiiunicipal disincorporation in Was}ungton, the. three
methods to initiate disincorporation (the petition mEthod, the city council method, anci the
ir►voluntary uiediod) present difficult obstacles. The rnimber of signatures required by the
petition metlioci before a disincorporation propositipn can even be placed on the ballot is higli.
The city council, by a majorinr vote, could resolve to put the issue to an election of city citizens.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: ProposecS Renumbering Ordinance - Unifiorm Development Code
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: WAC 365-195-800; RCV1r 36.70A_040
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the proposed Code on
September 2, 2003, December 7, 2004, and January 11, 2005.
BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Uniform Development Code (SVUDC) will eventually
consolidate and integrate all regulations in a single document, including subdivision, zoning and
development standards. Providing well-organized, concise, clear and readable regulations is
important in ensunng uniform and c4nsistent interpretation and enforcement of City policies
affecting land development and the implementation of the Comprehensive Plan.
In December 2004, staff had proposed the adoption of an outline to guide the development of
the SVUDC. Following discussion with Code Publishing Company, it was determined that
adoption of a Code framework was unnecessary, but that passage of an ordinance re-
numbering those ordinances which had already been codified would be required. Various
corrections in titles are also included, as well as provision for consolidating the provisions
relating to the adoption of other laws, reference to hearing bodies, copies on file and liability in a
single section applicable to all provisions in the SVUDC.
The following table identifies the proposed renumbering. A number of ordinances currently
under consideration will numbered appropriately when presented to City Council. Others which
have yet to be codifiied will be identified for the Code cornpany.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative Report: Overview of the Land Use and
Transportation elements of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 36.70A, WAC 365-195
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: City Council was briefed on the progress of the
Comprehensive Plan on September 28, 2004 and January 18, 2005.
BACKGROUND: Community Development staff began working on the City`s first
comprehensive plan in the winter/spring of 2004. Five community meetings were conducted in
the spring to begin the citizen involvement process. A scientific survey of more than 400
citizens was conducted, generating significant information on the community's feelings on many
subjects, including land use and transportation. Three more meetings were conducted in the fall
in order to report back fo the community information what had been learned to date and to
gather more input.
Information gathered at the meetings and through the survey is being integrated into the
working draft of the comprehensive plan. Staff is also preparing a future land use rnap, which
will guide the City's growth and development for the next 20 years. Finally, a capital facilities
plan will show how the city will support the projected growth.
A Draft Comprehensive Plan will be issued for public review and comment in the spring (2005)
which will serve as the Planning Commission hearing draft. After the Commission conducts
public hearings, a Planning Commission recommended comprehensive plan will be forwarded
to Council for consideration.
Land Use and Transportation are perhaps the two most significant elements of the
comprehensive plan and the most important elements from the community perspective. This
presentation will provide Council a brief introduction to the elements, laying the foundation for
future updates, workshops, meetings and public hearings.
