Residential vlotorcycle Track - Cary I7riskell Deputy City Attorney Lhiskell explained that sevcral people previously addressed council regarding operation of an off=road motorcycle cottrse in a residenCial neighborhoocl, and oF lhat aetivity's impact on the neighbors' quiet enjoyment. Mr. Driskell said that staff provided a meni4randum dated September 27, 2005 to Couneil regardiiig this topic, and that tonight's focus is more specifieally on the nei„hbnrs' complaints. hlr. 17riskell ex.plaineci that there are scveral approaches to consider, including enf'orcement of existirig rules, and consideration to ma:e policy or zoning code chanbes. Mr. llriskell also remarked that a meeti.ng is se;f for tomorrov., nioht behveen legal counsel and severa) neighbors to detennitie what specifically iS occurrino in tllat neighboi•hood. vlr. Driskell described what measures have been take,n . previously, including code enforcement responding to complai.nts, visitinp the site, and measuring the decibels (which did not rise above allowed levels). Mr. Driskell explained that staff did not look at this situation as a eomplaint about loud, continuous noise which would have unreasonablc affects on neighUors so they would not be able to enjoy their property; and that while that was an en-or, a cure needs to be established. iVlr. llriskell said th'at spec;ific data will be collectecl to deCermi.ne if this isstie gives rise t:o an order or riotice of violation; and if so, staff wil) process the niatter as is normally done under the nuisance code. lbfr. Driskell slatcd that if a violation has been found to have occurred, the properly owner will be notified in writing to'give them ample opportunit), to stop the activity. Anotlier point to consider, , M:r. llriskell addecf, is that the currenl zoni.ng codc docs not list off roacl tr►otorcycle use as a prohibitecl activity; and Council may wAnt to consider if this activity should be permitted in any zone, or restricted during certain daytime hours; and if changes do accur, such changes could be implemented in a phased-in pcriod qf six tq twehre months. Mr. Driskell said further that staff needs to examine die fi-equenc_y impact, and the dw-ation to see if it (the activity) rises to a level of violation. • Council/stiiff discussion ensucd regarcling subjectivc detenninatioos, zoniug issues, special events, cAndiliontYl uses, anc1 the nuisanee ordinanee. Mr. Driskell sflict ctiat statT' will review specifie evidenee provided by neighb4rs at the meeting tomorrow rcgsrding dunition, impsct, snd frcquenc}; and staff will then detei7nine if a notice and order should.be issueci; addi.ng that he feels a detennination on this iss«e could be made wiihin aboui ttivo weeks; and at that tiine, he wil) present a bullet-Jist of possible remedies rather than a drafl orclinance. Mr. lariskell explained ehai a lcttcr was'srnt out cn neighban, but they interpreted that as the C:ity giving t.hem the run-around. M:r. Driskell said the let:ter was not a fortn letter but a letter he discussed with code enforcement, because if staff is going to examine this issue fiirther for possible violations, there must exist a record of'evidence addressing frequency, duration, and impsct, and that is what thst letter was trying to elicit. It was determined that this issue will be placed on the Taecember 6 council agenda. H. Itecent [7etitions: 1-1earing Examiner's Deeision Re arding Ponderosa Ridg _e Uevelopment - Mil:e . Connelly .

Phyllis Markham, I519 N Rarker Road: slid they purchased propert}, on the corner of Barker and Mission back in 1985 with the understanding that it had a coaunercial zoning Qn it and she failed to eheck it out; that they were notified by the County in 1958 that it did not have the proper zoning and thai she did not have the propcr perrnits to operat:e a busi.ness at that location; she s.iid al that point they applied for the permits needEd t:o dperate a business chere and never heard aunythi.ng else fi-om Spokane County a.nd she therefore assumed they were fine; that it wasn't until 2000 when they tried to sell the property that thcy . cliscoveretl for the past 12 years it had bcen sitting in a filc someplace and had never been cornpleled; they Iqst the sale on the property; at that point they tried several things and went tlirough a zonc ctiange; t:hat was appxoved in Jsiiuary of 2000; she said she paid all the rnoney, went through the hcarinn and just re.cently found somebody else who wants to purchase the property and subsequently discovered that the Coiinty had changeci the zoning back to residential without notifying them; she said she now has someone again who is interested in purcha.eing the property aticl has the funcli.ng, but the propercy is in a residential zone on a 3,000 square foot commercial huilding. She said they have been dealina wi[h this since 1985; tlhat it has been a business since dhe mid 40's; there has always been a busine55 there for over 50 years, and she now sits on a property that she cannot sell. She said she has a packet of infarmation and photographs [hitC she will give Ca the Clerk so the Clerk c;an distribute copies to each Councilmember. She said most councilmembers arc probably tamiliar wilh the lacation; and that the County is looking ta fake the corner of that property for the roacl expansion; it is commercial across the street; there is a lot of Council Vfeeting: 10-1 S-05 Pave 2 of 6 .Approved by Council: ~ Drafi comtncrcial in the vicinity; and has historically been usecf c;ommercially, and she'd ]ike to get the roninao thal she pr4id for, back. She said she is nol surc if lhere is any possibility before the Comprehensive Ylan is completely f7rmed, if she can cet an opinion if Council is sympathetic to her caLise so she can potentially sell the proper[y I:o the person who would like to purchase it:; buC Co ask those people to wait six or eight montlis is almost unreasonable. N.A. l:irown, 18915 E. A'Iarietta, Qtis Qrcharcls: said he has a complaint about his neighbor who is apparently bchind on caxes and that there will be a tsx foreclosure on hcr propert}; so tlie neighbor filed bankruptcy and he doesn't knotv who owns it, but there is someone living there wh4 insists on parl:i.rig too many vehieles in h.is driveway and in front; normnlly anycvhcrc from eight eo twelve vehieles; he said this is a mobile home park and not a parking lot and lie feels the City should do somcthing about recfucing his supply.

We members of the Atl Hoc Sign Committee spent many hqurs to devise a sign ordinance that tivould benefit both business and the comm«nity.

This assurcd the number of billboards would not incresse, but the billboard inciustry would be allowed to kcep the eYisting signs that were lawfiilly Council Mecting: 10-1 8-05 Page 3 of 6 Approved by CounciL• L7raft constnIeteci. 'I'he Planning Cornmission has c:alled for the elimination of the Cap and Replace lanpuage from the sign ordinance currently under consideration. We feel this is unfair to a business that offers twenty family wrge-psying jobs, offers additionai employment to many area subcontractors, and compensates the latidowners wit.h whom we share leasc agreenients. We strongly urge the mcmbers of the County Council to consider the benefits of a Cap and R.eplace ordinance. 'Che language of tf►is ordinance includes strict spacing requirernents with which the Uillboard companies will comply. With this ordinanee, Lainar Outdoor Aciver[ising will eam the ability and be willing to devote thc resources to reconstruct older si;ns and replace them witli modem steel strucn►res. 'Chis will iinprove the appearance of the existing signage, but .vill nat add atlditionaf structures. We feel the Cap and Replace ordinance is a fair compromise for all interested parties, insuring a win fnr both businesses and carnmunity. .

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Resolution 05-011 was passed in June of this year and included updated fees. As the city approaches 2006 there are a few changes that need to be incorporated into the fee schedule. The City Council discussed these changes at their September 20, council meeting and asked that staff meet with developers to discuss these changes. That meeting was held a few weeks ago. A separate memorandum summarizing that meeting is attached. ~ BACKGROUND: The city uses a resolution to establish fees for city programs, permits and services. Periodically, the city must update the fee resolution to incorporate new or modified fees. The changes needed at this time include: 1. The addition of a separate transcript/record deposit fee on appeals of the Hearing Examiner's decisions as established in Ordinance 05-021. 2. The addition of a$250 paving permit fee as discussed at the July 19, 2005 council meeting. 3. Plan Review Fees to be paid at the time of permit issuance as proposed by Building Official Tom Scholtens and discussed at the September 6 council meeting. This is not an _ increase in cost for the applicant; rather, it revises the timing of the fee collection. 4. The approach permit fee and the right of way obstruction fee were moved from another . section of the resolution. 5. The deletion of a$10 fee for a copy of our annual budget. 6. Adjusting -the annual Storm water fee to $20/equivalent residential unit based on the six year plan prepared by public works. 7. Incorporating some public works fees into existing permit fees (no increase in the amount owed by users) as discussed at the July 19, 2005 council meeting. 8. The addition of an oversized load permit fee of $25 as discussed at the July 19, 2005 council meeting. . 9. Fire District fee changes. These fee changes are requested by Fire District 1 following a cost recovery analysis their staff conducted at the direction of the FD-1 Board. If these changes are adopted, the Storm Water Ordinance, 03-A-1, will be amended to - reference the current City Fee Resolution rather than stating the fee amount in the ordinance. A proposed fee resolution is attached. . OPTIONS: Adopt the proposed fees. Make changes to the proposed fees. Leave fhe fees as they exist today. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Motion to approve Resolution 05-023. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The change in the Storm Water Fee from $17 to - $20/equivalent residential unit would generate an additional $254,000/year for Storm Water Fund operations andlor improvements. The other fee increases/decreases are estimated to generate a net $1,500/year to the city. Fire District fees will flow through the City to the District. - STAFF CONTACT: Ken Thompson, Nina Regor ~ :s ; Y x ~ Fee Resolution ~•r :='ti~~"N,:ij,ti~- • Amendments Spokane Valley Council Meeting November 1, 2005 ~ Changes to City Fees r*01 ■ TranscripUrecord deposit fee on Hearing Examinerappeals '$150' ■ Paving permit fee - larger lots $250 t f-;2 ■ Plan review fees paid with permit f~. , ■ Approach permit & right-of-way obstruction permit moved from another section of resolution ■ Delete copy of budget fee ($10) ■ Stormwater fee increase - $17 to $20 ■ Qversized load permit $25 . ■ Public Works fees incorporated into permit fees 1•YZlff005 Z ~ 1 ~ J ~ Changes to Fire Fee Schedule ■ Fire District 1 Board directed its staff to analyze cost recovery of its services .

At the July 19, 2045 naeeting, staff provided an updatc to City Council on proposed - revisions tA the comrilercial builciing permit proccss. Some of the majnr components included: • Creation ofa Senior Ferinit Specialist classification. Anang other duties, tlus position wotild be responsible for coord'uiatuig the couuncrcial biulding perniit 0 atid other complcx applications; 0 Deem an applic:ation counter complete bcfore beginning review; • Collapse the public works fee schedule into the plan.ning fee schedule (wtuch would ve renamed "17evelopment Schedule") and the building fee schedule. This would not result in an incrcase of fees, but woulci afi'ect the tuning of when public works related fees are collected; and • Require pre-application conferences if thepraject reaches certain thresholds of ' complexity. - Council requested diat staf.f se•ek input from the dcvclopmcnt community. 'l hat meeting took place on October 11, 2005. FolloNNring is a summary of ihat meeting, along vvith a general status report on this streamlining project. Dcvelopers Meetin~ The City sent 66 letters inviting members of the development community lo discuss proposed changes to the couuziercial building permil prUCess. Invitees included buildcrs, arehitects, engineers and other development professionals. 'Cwelve people attended tlie meetuig, and one person expressed interest but was unable to atteud. 'T'he comments primarily pcrtained to the pre-application conferences; and a dcsire to ma.ke sure the pre- app corrferences ar.e avaluable use of timc for all concerned: ~ • Having all the stakeholders ui attendance Upclate on COmmercial Building 1'ermit Process, cuntinuecl Page 2 of 3 October 18,2005 o avoiding scheduling conflicts wid1 olher pre-app tneetings such as in Spokane County, so representatives f'rom outside agencies can participate • Having notes on unique aspccts of that project, rather than gencric coiTUnents Attendees asked how frequently the pre-app confercnccs are held, aud how far aul they are scheduled. The conferenccs are currently scheduleci on Tuesdays, and tliere's typically a 1-2,%veek turnaround beriveen the request and the datc of the meeting. In addition to the pre-app confercncc discussion, staff also clarified for attendees wliat was mearit by "counter completc" vs. "tech.nically complete." There was some concem that t11e City wanted applications to be technically completc bcfore beginnuig review; however, we are using counter cotnpleteness a.s our threshold. An application is deenied , counter compleCe if all the items included 'ui the pre-application checklist are includcd,* without pre-qualif cation of the accttracy of those itenis.. Thcrc were also some comments not associated with the conmiercial building pernlit process. For uistance, one person asked 1'or clarification on tlie City's grading ordinance, which City staff provided. Coirtineirts oit tlte Proposed Fee C/tange.s At the beginning of the meetin;, staff describecl lhe proposed changes to the fcc schedule, and distributed a draft. Buildiiig Official Toni Scholtens explained lhat the publie works schedule wa.s proposcd to bc collapsed, but tliat uo fees were intendeci to increase. He also summari~rred the proposed change to the plaii review fee, i.e., that the City woulci like to collect a set pla.n review eslimate ($200 pcr build'uie) at the tune an applicatio❑ is ' submitted. 1 he plaii revietiv fee woulci be calculated and collcc.tcd at thc time the pennit is issuecl, witli tlie estimate being fully credited toward the total anouut owed. Altendees had a couplc of questions about how i:he plan review.i:'ee would work,.and ~ appearzti satisfied with staff's clarification. N0 opinions were expressed on the fee changes. Council is scheduled to consicier adoption of tlic Master Fee Schedule at the October 1$ mccting. The draft i.ncludes the proposed changcs to the development fees. If adopted, thosc chatiges would go into errect January 1, 2006. Other Activities In addition tq the mccting with developers, staff ha,.s made pragress in o[her areas af Lhe corrunercial building permit proccss. Wc tiave: • Begun conducting pre-application conferences; • Revised our pre-app checklisl and arc instituting its use UNdale c►n Commercial 13uilding Permit Process, cunlinued Yage 3 of 3 Octobe.r 18, 2005 ~ • Begw-i conductinD pre-construction co»fereiices (this follows the issuance of the building perniit, and follows the same premise a,s the pre-app conference) We are also working on our internal process for deeming aal application counter complete beCore beginnuig its review. Sefrinr Permit Specialist Council authorized the creation of the Senior Permit Specialist classificali4n earlier this year. The purpose of the position is to better coordinate tlie morc complex permit . applications; serve as lead worker of'the other Fennit Specialists; anci be die main point of eontact in maintaining the integrity of the PLUS systcm. Ntrhen the position was first authorized, the intent was to reclassify one of tll_e existing FTE azid concluct an internal recruitment, since a11 positions were already fillect. Shortly after the position wa,S official]y classificd, howcver, one Ferni.it Specialist resigncd. The City then decicieci to conduct an intcrnal anci external recr.uitment. It took a while fAr the City to receive suircient qualified applications to f.orni a candidate pool of reasonable size. We are in the process of schedtiling interviews. Ncxt Steps ~ Qnce we are settled into the changes we have made to the commercial building process, . we will begin our review of the binding site plan proccss.

Associates, !nc_ ~ 40 1 ! ~ Association of Washington Cities 1 AWC Legislative Priorities for 2005 ~ ASSOCIATi-ON1 On December 17, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Association OF WASHINGTON of Washington Cities adopted the following Legislative Priorities - T - E S for 2005: . C I ~ High Priorities . - Direct Gas Tax Distribution to Cities AWC will pursue a new gas tax distribution to cities. In addition, AWC will pursue increased grant funding from the Transportation Improvement Board, 1JVSDOT-Highways and Local Programs Division, and other sources, and for freight mobility. Local Transportation Options AWC will pursue a variety of local transportation options, including: 1. Local Option Fuel Tax - increasing the local option from 10% to 20% of the state gas tax. - 2. Street Utility Authority - pursue legislation to allaw re-enactment of this authority. 3. Vehicle License Fee - replacing funds lost due to Initiative 776. ' 4: Vehicle VJeight Fee - imposing a weight fee on all vehicles (exempting agricultural equipment/vehicles). 5. Fuel Efficiency Tax - taxing vehicles that are inefficient. . 6. Expand Regional Transportation Improvement District Authoriry to Jurisdictions Outside of King, Pierce, and Snohomish Counties. Street Light Authority AWC will seek revenue sources to replace lost street light utility funds, including a broad Street Utility that would encompass street lights. ' Municipal Court Issues AWC will: ' • Pursue state funding for municipal court judges' salaries, indigent defense, increased juror fees, and increased filing fees, as contained in the Board for Judicial Administration legislative package, ensuring that a local jurisdiction maintains the option of whether or not to accept the money if additional strings are attached. - • Pursue preserving local decisions regarding whether additional subject matter-is to be added to municipal court caseloads. • Continue to protect the authority for cities to contract together to provide court services and the authority to appoint part-time municipal court judges. • Oppose the requirement to elect more judges, including those that serve in the contracting cities. Downtown Revitalization ' AWC will seek additional state assistance for economic development programs for downtotvns - both technical and financial assistance. VVe will pursue enhancement of the Department of Community Development's various "downtown programs." AWC will also attempt to enhance fhe ~ Community Economic Revitalization Board's (CERB) resources and programs. ~ AWC 2005 Legislative Priorities - 1- Gambling/Local Zoning AWC will again seek the passage of legislation claritying cities' land use and zoning powers with respect to any land uses involving gambling activities. We have introduced legislation the last few years attempting to clarify local govemments' ability to zone garnbling activities. Cities can currently ban gambling entirely, but some question cities' authority to zone the activity. Capital Facilities Investment AWC will work with the Legislature to create a new "Capitat Facilities Strategic Investment Fund." The purpose of the fund will be to provide state financial assistance for costly local government infrastructure projects that create new or assure the retention of existing jobs, and stimulate community and economic development. Other Priorities Public Duty Doctrine and Liability Reform AWC will pursue passage of the Public Duty Doctrine and other liability reforms - joint and several, caps on non-economic damages, allowing seatbelt information to be made available to the juries, and providing limits on exposure for providing employer reference checks. Six-Year Operation and Maintenance Excess Levies - Constitutional Amendment AWC will ask the Legislature to place a constitutional amendment before the voters which would provide cities and other local taxing districts the ability to scek voter approval of multi-year operation and maintenance excess levies, for a period up to six years. According to the state . . constitution, cities may only ask voters #o approve maintenance and operations excess levies (which are exempt from statutory limits) for a one-year period. School districts and fire districts are currently authorized to request levies for a multi-year period. • Sufficient Water/VNater Right for Growth AWC will seek legislative and administrative opportunities to help resolve gridlock in the processing of new water rights. This is a complicated issue impacted by both policy and budget considerations within the Department of Ecology. Pension Contribution Rates . The State Actuary is recommending significant pension contribution rate increases over the next - six years. AWC will advance legislation which raises pension contribution rates graduaUy, makes annual rate adjustments, and establishes a rate "floor" that the Pension Funding Council will not move below during their rate-setting process. This phase-in would make it easier for cities and • other local governments to manage and budget for the increases. - City & County Economic Development Authority . AWC will advance legislation clarifying the ability of cities and counties to enter into economic - development projects with other public and private entities, not just nonprofit corporations. AWC 2005 Legislatiye Priorities - 2- GMA Revisions AWC will initiate and pursue a variety of changes to the Grotivth Management Act to make sure it continues working in cities of various sizes that are characterized by widely disparate rates of groovth and infrastructure needs. • Change the frequency of GMA review and update responsibilities from every 7 years to every 10 years. • Allow smaller and slower-growing cities to update less frequently than larger and faster growing ones. . • Clarify what the state expects when cities are mandated to consider the use of best available scierrce when reviewing and updating Iocal environmental protection regulations. • Clarify that cities may zone for residential uses at a variety of densities within their communities, as long as their overall density is more than a certain minimum density established either by the Legislature or through some collaborative means within each county. • If not allowable under current law, initiate and pursue an amendment to last year's legislative pre-emption of city and town authority to disallow siting of manufactured homes on individual lots in single-family zones that would let them apply a dollar value criteria, requiring that the manufactured home be valued at least as much as the average house on the block. In addition, AWC will aggressively block state efforts to control what neighborhoods look like, • Ensure that cities have discretion to exempt some development from transportation "concurrency" requirements. • Expand the list of capital projects eligible for use of locally imposed Real Estate Excise Taxes (REET) and make the list the same for both the first and second Ya% REET. Eliminate the restriction on using them for operations or maintenance costs in the ' ' smallest cities - those under 1500 in population. Oppose changes to current GMA Impact Fee authorities that restrict the timing of collection. Multifamily Housing Property Tax Exemption . AWC will seek legislation to extend to all cities the 10-year property tax exemption for new, rehabilitated or converted multifamily housing projects. Currentty, the exemption onty applies to cities above 30,000 in population or the largest city in a GMA planning county with no city of 30,000 population or greater. Sales Tax Flexibility . AWC will advance legislation that amends ESB 5659, passed in 2003, that provided cities ' additional voter approved sales tax authority up to .3%. The amendments will delete the mandate that one-third of the new money be spent on criminal justice programs and the mandate that new money not supplant existing funds. Voter Approval to Freeze Property Tax Rate AWC will advance legislation to allow a city to ask their voters to "lock in" or "freeze° an existing - property tax rate for a period of up to six years. Legislation passed in 2003 allows a local govemment to seek approval from their voters for a levy lid lift and identify the associated annual growth rate for a period of up to 6 years, but does not allow a city to ratify a current properfy tax rate over a period of years. ~i AWC 2005 Legislative Priorities - 3- Annexation Reform AWC will pursue and endorse legislation that authorizes additional methods of annexation and ~-'provides new tools to facilitate the annexation of lands, including: limiting Soundary Review Board revievr when joint planning and/or interlocal agreements have been achieved; creating more streamlined annexation methods for small annexations; revising the petition method of annexation to require signature of property owners of 60 percent of the value of the property in the proposed annexation for both code and non-code cities and towns; and encouraging counties to identify potential annexation and incorporation areas in their county-wide planning policies. AWC will also pursue legislation that allows annexation to move forward, without a referendum, if a county and city (i.e., current and future governing authorities) agree through an interlocal agreement on how and when annexation will occur. Amend General Contractor/Construction Management Legislation/ Modify the Water Quality Joint Development Act AWC will seek a broader use of the design build and general c4ntractor/construction management public works process. Currently, only cities over 70,000 in popula4ion have access to this process. AWC will seek to either lower the population threshold or move to a criteria based process that allows our cities to demonstrate they can effectivefy use this process. The Water Quality Joint Development Act of 1986 authorizes local governments to enter into service agreements for the design, financing, construction and operation of avastewater facilities. AWC will pursue legislation to update and clarify some provisions based on actual field experience and is seeking expansion of these procedures to inctude drinking water supply and treatment systems. Gas Tax Distributions for All Street Transportation Purposes AWC will seek changes to existing law to remove restrictions on how cities allocate their gas tax on city streets proceeds, to provide more flexibility. Current law requires existing gas tax distributions to be allocated for construction and/or maintenance purposes, depending on the size of the jurisdiction. , Study to Determine Cost of Providing Transportation Infrastructure on State Highways (cities over 22,500 population) Cities over population 22,500 are required to assume the costs for maintenance, signalization, ADA and most traffic control functions on managed access state highways (non-Interstate) that go through their respective jurisdictions. AWC will propose a study to determine t.he fiscal costs of maintaining state highways, and seek legislative clarification of transportation responsibilities and costs. Other Issues Streamlined Sales Tax The AWC Board appreciates the vdork of the AWC Streamlined Sales Tax Committee and their efforts to reach agreement on a mitigation formula. The Committee did agree on a number of issues associated with taxation of remote sales but could not agree on a specific mitigation formula and recommended that AWC "take no position on the issue." The AWC Board recognizes the sensitivity of this issue and believes it is in the best interest of fhe city family for the Association to ' "at this time, remain engaged but take no position."

SST - Agreement on Principles Reached by Streamlined Sales Tax Committee By Sfan Fr'nkelstein, AWC Executive Director 4Uthout question, the most divisive issue amongst cities that the Association has encountered in recent years • ' has been the streamlined sales tax (SS'I). SST has evolved as a result of a mutti-year effort to convince Congress to require out of state vendors to collect state and local sales taxes on intemet and catalog sales. Some years ago, the U.S. Supreme Court held that a state cannot require such sellers to collect sales 4axes, unless fhey had a presence in the state. The CouR held that to do so would impose an "unreasonable burden" on the vendor. For the past several years, a group of state tax adrninistrators have been meeNng to craft a national state and Iocal sales tax model that ►vould address hvo pressing issues: that of uniform definilions of taxable aommodities, and that of uniform principles of sales tax apporiionment. The belief is that if these hvo issues are resolved nationally then Congress vrould be more inGined to pass legislation requiring sales tax collection on remote commerce. The issuE of uniform definitions has been agreed to by most of the states that have a sales tax, including washington. What hss been a sticking point for the past twn years has been sales tax apportionment. The apportionment rules adopted by the national group provide that where thero is a delivery of a product from a location in one jurisdiction to a recipient in another, then the sales tax will be apportioned to the jurisdiction of destination. This differs from cureent Washington lativ, where the city or county (when the vendor is located in an uninoorporated area) of origin receives the sales tax. This proposed change wrould . result in 117 negatively impacted cities Iosing almost $25 million in existing sales tax revenues to positively impacted aties and counties, l'hose losses do not take inio aonsideration potential gains from taxing calalog and intemet sales. Sinae June of 2004 there have been a series of discussions focused araund the issue of mitigation of Iosses for negativety impacted cities. An agreement was not reached prior to the 2005 session, and the Legislature did not take action on the issue during lhat session. In reoent weeks, representatives of the positively and negatively imRacted aties havs been meeting, and agreemenf on a legislative proposal is cJose at hand. The two sides, represented by A1n1C's SS7 Committee, have agreed to a series of "principles" (see the Munici al Financc section for the text), and draft legislation has been prepared. The key to the agreement is that the state allocates taxes derived from'"voluntary compliance" by major remote vendors to fund the mitigation http://news.awcnct.org/awcleg/teston1yP2005-09-29/index.htuil 10/27/2005 AWC Legislative Bulletin - Interim 13ulletin #3<br>September 29, 2005 Page 2 of 2 program. \ • ANlC is grafifiiQd that the sides have been able to reach an accord on what has been an extremefy contentious issue, and that hopefulfy in the near future the playing field will be IevelEd and catalog and intemet sales vrill be taxed as are in-state transactions. AWC would liks to fhank the members oi the SST Committee for their service to the city famity on this complex and controversial issue. AWC Legislative Committee to Meet Each year, the AWC President appoints 30-35 city officials to serve on the AWC Legislative Committee. The purpase of the Committee is fo revievr the Association's statement of I'olicy and Resolutions, as %weU as emerging issUes, and propose legislative priorities for oonsideration by Ihe Association's Board of diredors. The first meeting of the Legislative Committee will be 7uesday, October 11. The Committee will review the outcome of the 2005 session, examine new issues, and begin its deliberaiions. In Closing _ As we gear up for the 2006 Iegislative session, it is impnrtant to note khat 2006 is an election year. If the past is any guide to the future, we can expect that the Legislature will bQ "gun-shy" and avoid controversial issues: Hawever, now is the time for city officials to mect vrith their legislators, thank them for the help last session, and encourage them to suppoR tliose issues of importanoe to the ciry_ Good relations pay dividends throughout the legislative process.

The City's Permit Center began requiring that all new signs comply with the Sign Code as soon as it became effective. Therefore, this memo focuses on activities concerning existing signs. In September a flyer was mailed to business owners highlighting some of the- major requirements of the Code, e.g., the prohibition of portable signs and off- premise advertising. This created a brief though intense response from some business owners, but new comments have tapered off. . We extended the grace period for full compliance with the Sign Code to 15 November 2005. After that date, our Comptiance Officers will contact the violators. Many citizens have contacted. the Permit Center inquiring how to comply with the new Sign Code, and have indicated their relief that there was a grace period allowing them to arrange for non-compliant signs to be removed and to arrange for new advertising. This is the first time staff will follow a proactive approach in a selected code enforcement action, and staff has developed an initial plan to approach issues of non-compliance. As time allows, our initial emphasis will be direcfied to businesses that have porrable signs such as reader boards or "A" frame signage. During that contact we will explain the impact of the new Sign Code, specifically identifying the issue creating non-compliance for that business, and request that the business owner arrange for compliance. We will document thafi contact. After 20 business days we propose to follow up with a sifie visit to identify compliance with the Sign Code. Failure of a business to gain compliance will Enforcement of Spokane Valley Sign Code, continued . October 19, 2005 Page 2 of 2 cause enforcement action to begin following the steps outlined by Council in SVMC 10.30 Article III. Zoning Code Compliance. The general operating objective of the Spokane Valley Code Compliance section is to conduct an initiat investigation and response to submitted Citizen Information forms within one business day of receiving the specific information. We are initially planning on a 20% labor dedication to the sign code enforcement Effort. However, that time commitment may fluctuate, depending upon the number of complaints not related to the Sign Code to which our two Compliance Officers must respond. We witl continue to track response time, combining Sign Code enforcement contacts with our previously assigned duties, and report back to City Council using the Community Development monthly report. We would expect the initial enforcement data to be in the January 2006 report available in February 2006. Please tet me know if you have questions or concerns.
