Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 1 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT Councilmember Gothmann: said he spent some time here and at CenterPlace thanking employees for what they do; expressed sorrow at the dismissal of Mr. Jackson and said that Mr. Calhoun is a great leader and we will continue to be great;he attended a bike meeting for the cycle celebration as part of Valleyfest;went to the Greenacres Elementary groundbreaking; attended the employee luncheon where five and ten-year pins and recognition certificates were given out; attended a community relations and advocacy subcommittee of Visit Spokane; and extended thanks to the Mayor for representing our City in response to a break-in at the Sikh temple. Councilmember Pace: said he attended the Chamber government action committee where they heard a presentation about charter schools;went to the STA Planning Committee meeting and said he continues not supporting another ballot measure for STA, said he personally never sees more than five passengers on a bus so an increase is hard to justify;went to the press conference at the Sikh temple; went to the employee appreciation lunch where employees were recognized for their teamwork and great customer service. Deputy Mayor Woodard: expressed his appreciation of the cleaning of the STA covered bus stops;thanked those Councilmembers who went to the Sikh temple press conference; attended the Eastern Washington University entrepreneur competition and awards;and last night went to the Soroptimist International annual celebration. MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Higgins said he had no report. Councilmember Wood extended thanks to Public Works staff member Mr. Fisch for his quick response and remedy to replace a missing street sign. PROCLAMATION: n/a PUBLIC COMMENTS: After Mayor Higgins explained the rules for speaking, he invited public comments. Mr. Scott Maclay: said he participated in the formation of this city including arguments about duplication of services, and that last week, this argument is still not dead; said there won't be peace in this city until people recognize that the only layer of government is right here; said when you make an argument that another layer of government doesn't make sense, you might as well tell everyone in city hall who has worked so hard to put this city first,that they aren't needed; said there will be no peace as long as 70%of our city is outside our grasp; said he went through the PDC (Public Disclosure Commission) files tonight and found that several of our candidates here with hundreds of dollars and thousands of dollars, and even past mayors and councilwomen who might want to speak tonight, who have received this money from the Sheriff's Deputies Associations, along with hundreds of dollars for the disincorporation effort and that leader,who is also here tonight;he said you kicked the can and Mike Jackson is gone;he suggested Council keep kicking the can and kick it all the way through to forming our own police department; said hundreds of thousands of cities across this nation have done the same thing;said our Sheriff said he is doing it cheaper than we would but questioned how that could be the case; said it could only be if he is taking that money away from the rest of the Spokane County taxpayers and us,to undermine our own effort. Mr. Rob Chase, Spokane County Treasurer, from Liberty Lake: said he came to this Council last summer asking Council to send a resolution to Representative Cathy McMorris-Rodgers and our two U.S. Senators urging them to vote no on trade promotion authority,to fast-track the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement; said Council declined at that point; said now that this issue has been publicized,the public can see how bad it is;is over 5,000 pages and affects the way all governments conduct business;said that the City of Spokane unanimously passed a resolution opposing the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement; said he is aware Council has a draft resolution, and he urged Council to put in on an agenda for a vote in opposition to the Trans-Pacific Partnership Agreement. Mayor Higgins asked Mr. Chase about the timeline for action in Congress, and Mr. Chase said trade promotion authority is ninety days;but it could be extended, and some people think that it may not even pass by a lame-duck congress until after the next election; said the legislation was written by unelected mega corporations and he feels it is not good for anyone. Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 2 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT Mr. Rob Lee: said he lives in Elk and the City of Spokane Valley; referenced his two handouts; he commented on the importance of oversight; said he was here last week and the Sheriff had members of his citizens advisory board here, he said there are two more positions on this board and he offered them to Council; said if that's not his board,how could he make that offer; said as noted in the handout,the Sheriff said he wants an ombudsman oversight in 2014 for himself;said only after his son filed a lawsuit in Spokane County for not receiving his mental health medications, did this ombudsman issue came about; said it is a sham and Council needs to look at it. Ms. Mary Pollard, Spokane Valley: read her statement: "I'm watching men I once trusted lose yourselves and our respect, as you disconnect people from justice and participation in what should be nonpartisan discourse. Ed posted Bonhoeffer's quote that silence in the face of evil is evil itself. God will not hold us guiltless.Well, I've heard a lot of silence. I see no resemblance to Bonhoeffer.You're all men of faith,yet your silence speaks louder as fellow councilmen are bullied, threatened, and called co-murderers, while glibly fomenting more strike in the name of taking back our government.Mayor Higgins' Facebook doesn't refute Shea's posting tying Gothmann's vote against a non-sanctuary city ordinance to mean he does not support the constitution and the rule of law. That's absurd.Your oath of office is to serve with impartiality. Silence is not courage but agreement — the silence of evil growing. I decry the firing of Mike Jackson without cause,that's cast a shadow on his good name but also on yours as well. Mike served the citizens, understood our issues and problems and solved many of them. He hired ethically capable people to lead departments that are now responsible and transparent due to his excellent management and leadership. A healthy community was growing. There has never been a greater need for local stability. Yet, despite real international threats and potential local emergencies,you are working like an enemy of peace,to radicalize factions and divide the community like wolves — without conscience killing a good man's career. It's irrational stating it had nothing to do with performance but diverging opinions over city goals.Nonsense — That's your job. Are you willing to sacrifice the community for your personal crusade —a cause that isn't afraid to do harm? In God's kingdom we are never to behave as wolves. It is ethically bankrupt to reward Jackson's faithfulness with betrayal.I'm grieved at your lack of shame. It's an affront to the gospel of peace and reconciliation. You cannot salve your consciences claiming this is like the Council firing of Mercier. No comparison—Community outcry was an election to be rid of SARP and begin fresh with a new manager. No surprises. None of these dynamics exist with Jackson. You are so far right you are tipping the scales towards anarchy. What should we believe? You Shout, "Less government" while working to create the worst offenses to liberty—a non-elected appointed committee—to provide surveillance of the public safety of our community,wanting lack of experience as a prerequisite. You're parroting patriotic words—wanting more transparency yet behaving without any.We the people expect council to keep your oath to follow the laws of the state. The rules demand grant monies must be spent for what they are intended but we hear you question why it can't be spent as you wish, as if it's some federal or state overreach of authority. That's accountability. . . . . I'm asking you to humbly serve to unite us as community—as instruments of peace— remember the staff and we the people are the heartbeat of this city." Mr. Gary Babock, Spokane Valley: said he experienced the street sweeper out when there was two to three feet of snow; on another matter; said he wants this city to be separate from Spokane City and would like to see signs up where the city lines are, showing coming into and leaving Spokane Valley; and said he would love to see us have our own oversight committee and our own police department. Mr. Allan Creech, Spokane Valley: said he manages the Greenhouse; said proper functioning depends on facts and said we desperately need an independent oversight committee of all the independently contracted agencies; said there have been several misstatements and erroneous statements; and that the community believes there is a need for an unbiased committee; said the Sheriff's Board is the Sheriff's;that due to law enforcement activities the community calls into question the objectivity of the current review board as it confirms and mirrors the Sheriff's own investigations; said the message is clear—don't change what I do Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 3 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT or it'll cost you money; said the Sheriff's Office is on record as being unable to address the exploding epidemic of property crimes here. Ms.Kayleni Bonner, Spokane Valley;she encouraged Council to support the creation of their own advisory council; said some feel the citizen's advisory board is currently sufficient, but if you read the bylaws there are some troubling things such as the name; it is the Spokane County Sheriff's Office so is it the people's or the Sheriff's; that they serve under the authority of the Sheriff and all other functions are irrelevant as they only function when the Sheriff needs or requests something; said he can recommend members and has the authority to disband the board without notice at any time; that they can have closed meetings as determined by the Sheriff; and said she feels a truly independent oversight committee promotes trust and civil rights protections. Gene Strunk, Spokane Valley: read his statement: "discriminatory practice and cronyism; any employee of this city who faces being unable to perform their duties due to injury or health,is allowed about 25 weeks of medical coverage and wage adjustment; after 25 weeks the employee is terminated and health coverage stops. Recently I was shocked to hear that a former councilman elected in 2014, is still receiving full pay and benefits after 80 weeks of being absent. The councilman has not been in attendance since November of 2014, a year and a half with no present stipulation for ending this coverage at any time other than I presume, death. A substitute councilman was appointed for one year and his appointment ends June of this year. He also receives full pay and benefits. City employees are not allowed substitutes. The intentional manipulation of the excused absence rule is blatant cronyism and a deceitful practice that needs to be stopped immediately. The prior administration allowed this abuse of our city employees for over a year; worse,the total disregard for the taxpayer's wallet;this elitist mindset now has put the City in a position of defending future litigation for future employee claims based on discrimination toward the working class of our City. This has to stop. Further,the City is self-insured with a pool of cities and this practice has to lead to an experience rating adjustment costing employees currently and in the future more for their health coverage. I would ask that you stop all coverage past what a full time employee would receive, you are treating them differently; second, a comprehensive rule defining benefits for a council person especially addressing absences,excused or unexcused. In closing,the prior administration approved and allowed this discrimination toward our employees and I hope you investigate it, stop it and institute rules that will not allow it ever again." Ms.Nina Fluegal,Spokane Valley: said as Council is getting ready to look at the comp plan for development and increased population,that she wanted to remind them about for the good of many the expense of one, and is it worth it; said in her opinion it is not. She said certain things will have to change, especially with building codes; said she bought her house in 2006 on 4t' Avenue, the City rezoned that section from the north side of 4t'to Sprague, and from where the City begins to where it ends; said she didn't know about that change when they bought the house;that her property was part of the development that began in 2014, by a builder here in Spokane; said the problem is,the property next to hers is larger, so there was only room for phase 1; so the problem now is that at 12 units per acre he has come to his limit based on zoning;that is phase 1;phase 2 is about to be introduced with the help of the comp plan; said if it is rezoned to MF-2 it will go from 12 to 22 units per acre, and people on 3'lane are about in the same position;they're going to be in the same position if that zoning is allowed. Said she thinks that if people are planning to build more than one phase, they need to apply for a zoning to accommodate their future plans as well; and not build something that they are allowed to build and then come back for more; said there is something wrong with that; said she lost$20,000 in property value and can't even sell her home. Ms. Trish Abraham, Spokane Valley: said about this time last year she put in for a comp plan amendment on the corner of Flora and Mission, and at that time, when it had its first hearing, there were five councilmembers present,and when she left that, she understood that it passed with a three to two vote; and then later they were called and told it did not meet the majority vote because it had to have four yes votes Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 4 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT in order to pass; said it was reheard with six councilmembers and it resulted in a three to three tie vote; she said the City's code states that the decision must be made on the application by a majority vote of its membership, the city shall (1) approve the application; (2) disapprove the application; (3) modify the application and if a substantial modification, Council must conduct a public hearing or(4) refer it back to the Planning Commission for further consideration. She said leaving it a three to three tie is not an answer and she asked Council to look into this and would like to get her money's worth of the permit she paid for. Ms. Jayn Courchaine: said she is the owner of the property her daughter just spoke about; that when they did this,it went through the Planning Commission which thought it was a good idea;and they went through all the processes and even talked with the neighbors; she said they handed in a letter to the board but it was never looked at and it seemed it didn't matter what they said or what they presented as it appeared decisions were already made before the hearing; said she feels this was cronyism as the decisions were already made; said decisions should not be pre-decided prior to a hearing and said she felt there were some pre-decisions; also said you have to have a majority and when you have a three to two you think you have it, but there were supposed to be seven people there and there were five, and one person never came back and another probably should have recused himself because it was the business he was in and he was located within two miles of her; said it was never decided and they have spent more money on legal issues;but it seems it will take two or three years and a lot more money,but there was never a decision and that she would like it put before this board again now that there are seven people on this board. Mr. Scott Maclay: said there is a councilmember,doesn't want to point him out,but would like him to step up and address an article in the Spokesman Review recently about claiming that he has a residence at 27 W Sumner that was used for the purpose of getting a building permit; said it bothers him that someone who was our mayor and a councilman would do that and said he would like to hear from him about the circumstances surrounding that and if there's any kind of lending going on in place that states that you have to be a resident of that property as you stated with the City of Spokane, to live there to get that loan, and said he would appreciate a response. Mayor Higgins reminded Mr. Maclay that this is not a debate. Ms. Mary Pollard : said she was neighborhood chairwoman and knows Trish and Jayn;that originally they wanted to do a trailer park, and because of all the development by the Indiana Couplet, a storage facility was thought to be a good use; initially the idea was opposed by some but because we knew where it was situated, and they weren't going to do something else,the neighborhood would be in support of what they waned to do and she encouraged Council to give them a full positive vote. 1.

After brief Council discussion, Mayor Higgins invited public comment. Ms. Nina Fluegal said she thought the City was working to find funds to fund the overpass to relieve congestion; said Sullivan is still a work in progress and it seems like it will never be finished; and she suggested trying to find some funds for the Pines over or underpass. There were no other public comments. Mr. Guth said this project is for 2017 and beyond; and explained that the bridge on Sullivan will be completed this fall; concerning the Pines underpass, said they are looking at other grants as the project is estimated at $18 million.

Ms. Krisinda Marshall: extended thanks for everyone who has listened to her over the last few months; said the City of Spokane doesn't allow that so she appreciated being heard. Ms. Kayleni Bonner, Spokane Valley:concerning Mr.Chase's comments,she encouraged Council to engage in lobbying to support efforts that it not pass, as the biggest concern is loss of our form of government and handing things over to global courts behind closed doors. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS: 4. Spokane Regional Law&Justice Commission Update— Cary Driskell City Attorney Driskell introduced Ms. Jacqueline van Wormer of Washington State University who was recently named by Spokane County as permanent administrator for the Law and Justice Council for the Spokane Region.

In response to a Council question, Ms. van Wormer said that all the meetings are open and the community is welcome to attend. A question arose about the cost for the models mentioned, and Ms. van Wormer spoke about the foundation and with greater efficiencies in the justice department, funds would be re- directed toward positions.

Opposed: Councilmember Wood. Motion carried. 7. Accomplishments Report—Mark Calhoun Mr. Calhoun started the accomplishments report, but after several technological difficulties with the PowerPoint,and due to the lateness of the evening,it was decided to postpone this report to a future meeting. Mr. Calhoun mentioned that a substantial portion of the workshop next week would focus on the various aspects of public safety. 8. Advance Agenda—Mayor Higgins Councilmember Pace said he would like to see the item that Councilmember Grafos brought up about triggering an investigation into the actions taken February 23, but that it should start with a Council discussion including the process and the various rules, Robert's Rules of Order,the Governance Manual, the Revised Code of Washington,the City Municipal Code, and see if there are any flaws there, and then talk about the processes that were used and to compare the process to what happened January 5,2010,when a similar action was taken, and then look if there are any accusations being made, and then go on to see if an investigation is needed. Councilmember Grafos said he would like to go forward with that, and also to enter into the record, his reasons for not attending the executive session this afternoon, which he said was obviously related to this issue; said he would like to put into the record the reasons and the chronology of what happened with the City Manager's termination, and thinks it should go to the press and the public. In response to a question from Councilmember Hafner about Councilmember Grafos' original proposal, as he thought Mr. Grafos was requesting a private or different agency to come in and do all that rather than this Council. Councilmember Grafos said that his motion was that the City Council commission an immediate independent investigation into the procedure and process taken to suspend and terminate City Manager Mike Jackson; and said these are the reasons why he felt he could not attend the executive session. Councilmember Pace said he feels in that discussion, Council should discuss Mr. Grafos' document and then vote on his motion. Councilmember Hafner asked if that could be put into an agenda item, Mayor Higgins replied that is where this is going, and Mr. Hafner suggested putting that in an agenda item, and having conversations at that time, and asked if that was legal. City Attorney Driskell said he doesn't see any issues with the legality of that, but suggested if Council seeks an independent investigation,that they might want to allow that to happen rather than do a lot of things ahead of that which could change the approach and analysis;he said there were a series of events in and around the meeting of February 23, and he understands that some of the Councilmembers are interested in finding out what lead up to that and what happened and whether there were any potential violations of Washington law; and said if that is the case, he would suggest if Council is interested in an independent investigation,perhaps the best course of action would be to determine whether they want it to happen and if so, allow that to happen without some of the other things going on. Councilmember Pace asked how Council could decide whether they want to do it unless there is a discussion first. Councilmember Hafner said he thinks the intent of the independent person is to clarify and clear up any misconceptions Council may have that have happened since that particular date;and to get someone outside this Council and City to make that analysis. Councilmember Pace replied that he is not saying Council should not do that,but is saying that he wants a discussion first. Mr. Driskell said staff can draft a proposal Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 7 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT as to what the scope of such investigation would be for council consideration, it would probably be relatively general so as not to unduly constrain it; but that would be up to council. Councilmember Gothmann said the first question he would ask is,what is the intent;that one of the intents would be Council just wants to know what happened; said he can't think of any other intent that would be valuable, and perhaps second, Council could learn from it. Councilmember Grafos said he thinks the way to do that is to have an independent person come in and start with the events that happened in Mr. Jackson's office, how it happened, and look at it carefully to see if any laws were not followed; and it might be a learning experience; said Council has to follow the law; said having an independent person who doesn't have an axe to grind,and is not political,and that it would be very relieving and that he thinks we owe that to our citizens as people are asking how and why this happened. Mr. Driskell said if it is Council's desire, staff can draft an agenda for two weeks out,and define some parameters,to then discuss it and have the motion,either the same agenda or one to follow, whichever is Council's preference. After further discussion on a future agenda item,Deputy Mayor Woodard suggested from a scheduling standpoint,it might be more appropriate for the March 29 meeting. Councilmember Gothmann said his concern is he does not want to harm the City and would prefer to come back and have our legal department come back with some drafted parameters, and maybe some advice relative to the law and the effect it has on the city; so he has no problem with a two-step process. Councilmember Hafner said no one wants to harm the city,but we need to clarify for the public what went wrong, as there have been some innuendos, and many e-mails and phone calls, so once this is clarified it will be much better for the city, and that finding out the truth for the city will be much better;he said he doesn't understand why there is such a problem of having someone else take a look at this and reporting back their findings. Deputy City Manager Calhoun asked if there is Council consensus to bring this back as an admin report on the 22nd and a motion on the 29th? Although there were no objections, Deputy Mayor Woodard said since there are pending actions ongoing, he would suggest caution be exercised as to how that could affect those pending actions. Council concurred for an admin report on the 22', and a motion on the 29th Councilmember Pace said based on comments heard tonight, he would like Council to re-visit the rezone of Flora and Indiana; that there are some things Council might want to re-examine and if needed, fix any errors. City Attorney Driskell said staff would be happy to bring information from the staff as staff might not agree with the assessment provided by the property owner;he said they communicated with the property owner and her attorney following that event; adding that it might be that the City has an opportunity to examine that within the context of the ongoing comprehensive plan update; so there may be an opportunity for Council to consider that in the near future. Councilmember Wood said for a future meeting, he would like a resolution opposing the TPP, and that draft copies of that resolution have been placed at the Council dais. Councilmember Gothmann said he is not familiar with the TPP and insisted that someone from both sides of the issue make a presentation to Council,and then consider the issue,as he doesn't want to just hear one side; said he would rather not delve into issues not associated with the City as we have enough City issues to keep up with, and doesn't and can't keep up with what the State of Washington or Congress is doing. Mr. Wood said Mr. Chase would probably come back and talk about the issue, and at Mayor Higgin's request, will ask if Mr. Chase knows of someone in favor of the TPP to come talk to council. Mr. Calhoun said providing there is Council consensus to proceed with this, that he can work with the agenda committee to determine when this can come forward; that based on the size of the document, it is not realistic for staff to read and disseminate that entire document given staff's current workload. Mayor Higgins agreed and Council concurred; and Councilmember Wood said he thinks he can get people to speak on both sides of the issue. Councilmember Wood also spoke about the noise of the train horns and said he would like to have discussion about that. Councilmember Gothmann said this has been before Council numerous times. Mr. Calhoun said at next week's workshop, TIGER and other grant programs will be discussed for grade Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 8 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT separations projects at Pines and Barker; and said there have been numerous presentations to Council concerning quiet zones which can be brought up at future meetings. Councilmember Hafner said he wishes to enter into the record his reasons for not attending the executive session earlier this afternoon; and said he has copies for the Clerk for the record, as well as for the Deputy City Manager and City Attorney. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he would like the topic of annexation to come forward at some point. City attorney Driskell said that will be included within the context of the comprehensive plan as the policies and goals are discussed and developed,and that a coming attraction is already planned. Deputy Mayor Woodard also spoke of the RFQ (request for quotes) for marketing,that he realizes there were nine applicants, that he believes those applicants have been narrowed, and he asked about the possibility of some discussion about the narrowed numbers and whether Council will have an opportunity, or some member of Council who can be involved with some of that before it is brought forward to Council as a final action.Mr.Calhoun explained that through Community and Economic Development, the City has issue an RFP (request for proposal)for planned advertising services;nine responses were received and staff reviewed them and short- listed that to four to interview; said this would ultimately lead to the selection of the consultant to help put forward the City's marketing plan; that this team consists of Mr. Hohman and some of his economic development staff, and Mr. Calhoun;he said that whoever is ultimately selected,this would fall within the City Manager's contract signing authority and so would not come to Council,and he asked if Mr.Woodard were recommending that a Councilmember be involved with the staff effort. Deputy Mayor Woodard replied yes,at least on the final four to have some input;said he thought at some point last year,that Council was going to help formulate what it is we wanted out of a marketing contract since it is more than just advertising; and to have a councilmember look at what's already been interviewed, and asked if that would be an appointment made by the Mayor. Councilmember Gothmann replied that it appears Mr. Woodard is trying to inject himself into the administrative function,as it is their job to bring one person to Council;and that any other influence Council has in that process would be a pollution into that process; and if a councilmember were on the committee,people could accuse use of political influence in the selection which would be illegal; said he prefers keeping politics and administration separate. Deputy Mayor Woodard said it is not politics,but whether staff captured what it is Council wants to do with a new contract or marketing strategy. Councilmember Grafos agreed with Councilmember Gothmann; said Council is the legislative branch and not the administrative branch. At approximately 10 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to extend the meeting an additional ten minutes. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Woodard, Councilmembers Grafos, Pace, Gothmann and Hafner. Opposed: Councilmember Wood. Motion carried. City Attorney Driskell said Council has not participated in any contract selection issues or advising on a preference for quite some time, that in the early days of this City's formation, Council did from time to time,participate on some things like this;said it is not anticipated to come back to Council,but you wouldn't want to have a Councilmember voting on one side on a preliminary recommendation, and then also voting again,which could be seen as having some undue influence; said he thinks that an argument could be made that there is some edging into the administration function in doing this, but this is something Council had identified a strong interest in; said he is rather ambivalent about it and doesn't have a strong opinion; that he tends to usually see things as black and white: on one side is administrative,and on the other,legislative; and as much as possible to keep those separate so as not to get into allegations. Mr.Woodard said Council has had no opportunity to set policy on where we were going or what we want to have on new marketing, branding, advertising, strategies, etc. and that he realizes it is within the current manager's authority, but there wasn't any policy discussion at all as to what Council was looking for;but if Council doesn't want to do it that's fine. Councilmember Pace said he would like to have the Mayor appointment someone. Mr. Calhoun said that Mr.Hohman mentioned to him that as part of our workshop next week he has an extensive presentation on economic development efforts, and this will be included. Councilmember Hafner said he Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-08-2016 Page 9 of 10 Approved by Council: DRAFT feels Council should be careful and have a separation on administration and policy; said we don't need to carry this through and he doesn't want to set a precedent. Mr. Calhoun said he anticipates this contract will be well within the City Manager's authority, but since this is of great interest to Council,the contract can be brought forward to Council with a staff recommendation. Deputy Mayor Woodard agreed. Deputy Mayor Woodard said he would like to have the property across from Maribeau Meadows Park,the lot owned by the City,on an upcoming agenda to discuss the weeds and what can be done with the property; said it should be easy enough to bring back what was discussed before, and have further discussion. Mr. Calhoun said that also is something that can be brought up through the comp plan process. Mr. Driskell said it would potentially require a comprehensive plan designation change, so there are limitations on what we can do; and Deputy Mayor Woodard said he would like to have some discussions on what we might want to do with that so there is some direction. Mayor Higgins mentioned the draft letter on the dais to the Governor recommending he sign our nuisance abatement bill;and he asked if there were any objections to Mayor Higgins signing the letter. No objections were voiced. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS Mr. Calhoun had no additional comments. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 1 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT MAYOR'S REPORT Mayor Higgins reported that he attended the Northeast Mayor's Quarterly meeting where those in attendance exchange ideas; went to the Fairchild Air Force Base 92nd Air Refueling Wing award competition; attended our City's annual workshop last week; went to the Clean Air Agency Annual retreat and said that the agency is not generating sufficient revenue to fund itself so it is likely user fee rates will increase; and said he attended the Gonzaga Military Ball. PROCLAMATION n/a PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins invited public comments. Katherine Morgan, Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce: she spoke about the Chamber's membership and expressed thanks to Council for assistance with the Big 5; she went over the Big 5 initiatives and gave brief comments about each,and said the Chamber looks to further their partnerships;and that she is honored to have each Councilmember, staff,and over 185 business to help and work toward these wonderful assets. Rob Chase, Spokane County Treasurer,lives in Liberty Lake: concerning the Transpacific Partnership,said it is possible this legislation might wait for a lame duck congress, or hurry and have a vote as soon as possible; said it is difficult to say what will happen; said the Spokane City Council unanimously opposed this; and said that some people say this isn't your fight as a local elected official,but action is needed to tell those who are supposed to have our backs, and if representatives don't do this, we need to interpose ourselves. Tom Towey, Spokane Valley: said since January this Council has gained by perception, a reputation of deception and question of credibility,and said that saddens him; said there is a perception by some citizens that the process for asking Mike Jackson to resign was wrong and at least bypassed; for example because of his superb work record, the only reason for asking Mike to resign was "we are going in a different direction." He said if"we"was stated after the decision of the motion,then you were justified in speaking for the majority decision,but if"we"was stated before the decisions of the motion,then the perception of wrongdoing was true; said he believes that two Councilmembers asked Mike for his resignation the week before the meeting where the motion was read; said it is a fact that if these two councilmen were speaking without the majority consent,then the perception of wrongdoing is true; and if these two councilmembers were speaking with the majority consent, that is a quorum decision outside a lawful public meeting and should not be tolerated; said if the majority of this Council wants to be transparent and enhance the credibility in the eyes of their citizens,then the right thing to do is have an outside,unbiased investigation; but if the majority of this Council wants to justify the perception of wrongdoing, they should not have an outside investigation; said it is his wish that Council not add to the negative perception; the perception is either true or false and the decision is Council's. Mary Pollard, Spokane Valley: read her prepared statement: "The firing of Jackson is the shot heard across Spokane Valley. Your actions are not leadership; it is an attack on the stability of our community and damaging Jackson's family who are a part of us. If you don't like the structure of city council;that requires a vote of the people to change, not firing Mike Jackson. You have all the legislative power, so there isn't any more to be had. Nothing you have said has anything to do with Jackson. I am demanding an outside investigation into the firing of Mike Jackson. . . . . I've heard the firing of Jackson was without malice, well it is malicious. He has an enviable record of management, connecting community and the staff that provides services to this city. We will not forget,we will not move on. Jackson has 13 years of serving us. He is one of us. It isn't just a job, services on a computer sheet,he humbly moved to serve us,an eye to the future.You are the interlopers destroying the hard wrought foundation the community had grown to trust. Your experience is dubious and short. That's why you are elected for policy —you are not city managers. The dissenting council lived our history,they were here. We don't remember you here in the early years. Why would you want more power? The only power you had was to fire one man and you used it like a child with their first bb gun. Maybe today's terrorist bombing in Belgium — people dead and the injured Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 2 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT might wake you up.We face the real threat of terrorists. The council will not be the ones directing services during crisis. We cannot afford to have a rookie you choose to lead a city during precarious times. There isn't time for a learning curve—back to the drawing board—trust and knowledge take time we do not have. You have foolishly placed us in jeopardy. Mike Jackson is that man with the knowledge and capability to calmly respond to whatever we face.Not a rookie. Today in the face of real terrorist threats,how could you fire Mike Jackson,the one man with the capability to calmly and knowledgeably take care of our community in the face of any crisis. Again, this is not just another day in the city; he is not a hireling. We will not forget. We will not move on. While no one is the sum total of one single action,the abuse of your office brings all your actions into question.You are playing to a small group in a room without a view. Wake up. We are a unique people and deserve to not be issued basically a divorce decree by your political fiat where you have just separated yourself from us. We are not a machine that you just change our parts. It takes inspiration. Mike Jackson has shown he stands at all times in excellence and integrity. Give him back his job, and we demand that you do an investigation." Kathleen Stout, Spokane Valley: regarding the firing of Mike Jackson; said she is shocked and very disappointed in the four who voted for this; said this was so wrong on so many levels; Mike is a well- respected man and resident of our city;he is a member of our community,he lives here,he has experience, integrity and competence; his guidance and direction is something our City can be proud of; said she will support an independent investigation into his termination. Emma Jarvis, Spokane Valley: said Mike Jackson is a very good man and I think what you did was wrong, it was wrong firing him; at least I know right from wrong; he did a great job, everyone loved him but you, and said she wants an investigation now. Cindy Hallett, Spokane Valley: said the people wearing a lime green armband tonight are requesting the City Council immediately hire an independent investigation into the action taken by this Council in the firing of Mike Jackson; said that on January 14, 2016, at the CDBG meeting, Mr. Woodard along with others, gave away our city funds; she said that Mr. Woodard had stated there were more applications than funds available; and that the first on the list to get taxpayer's dollars was Mr.Woodard's friend and fellow Councilmember Sam Wood; said he received $73,000 for the water district that he chairs, and that he also lives in that district;when asked how the City would feel about giving away City funding, she said that Mr. Woodard stated"I will have a serious discussion tomorrow with the Mayor about this;he's not going to be my problem,it's really going to be the City Manager."She said that the City Manager was fired in February, which she said gives the appearance of good-old boy backroom politics; she said that since Mr. Higgins has become Mayor, with the help of Mr. Woodard, Mr. Pace and Mr. Wood, an investigation initiated by Mr.Pace into the actions of the Sheriff's Department,that turned out to be bogus,cost the taxpayers$3100. She said the city has lost $335,000 in CDBG funding plus the approximate added revenue of two or three times that, which would have been generated for our city; she told Mr. Pace that she does not consider herself a whore to federal dollars for projects that go back into our community, and said it is her taxpayer dollars. She said that along with the firing of Mr. Jackson that could cost the city$100,000 or more,added all together it reaches$1 million in losses to the city and it's not even April. She said she has heard nothing but praise and compliments for the job that Mr. Jackson did for our city, and said if Council has nothing to hide and are confident there were no wrongdoings in the firing of Mr. Jackson, she urged Council to start the investigation now, or better yet,just tell Mr. Jackson you are sorry for allowing your extreme personal political agenda to interfere with what's best for our city, and hire him back. James Pollard, Spokane Valley: said Mike Jackson performed his duties in an honorable manner, and the manner used by this Council was not; said it is believed by many that this action should be investigated in an impartial manner and said he also wants an investigation; said he prays for the protection of our city from political extremism both outside and within our current Council; said there are many here tonight who will stand resolute in any opposition to any abuse of power by elected Councilmembers. Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 3 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT Scott Macclay: said that Mike Jackson was an obstacle for what this city set out to do; said the city set out to form its own layer of government, which is what the majority voted for and he said that is still what the majority wants; he said this city wasn't formed to go back to supporting a layer of government from Spokane County, and today we are only 30% of the city we set out to be; he said it is no secret what happened to Mike Jackson as he was an obstacle to moving forward and making this city stand on its own two feet; said it is large and vibrant enough and there's no reason why we shouldn't be following the same path as hundreds of thousands of other cities who have gone this way,and he commended Council for doing it;he said you kicked the can and you're going to have to keep kicking it; and we have started going down a path that we need to continue to complete; said if you're going to talk tonight about some big conspiracy and investigation, there is none; said we finally got a majority back on the Council that wants the city to continue the direction we set out to go; and if you don't like it, maybe you should move further out of the city and move into Spokane County; said we have had a real problem for over a decade with a lot of Councilmen accepting a lot of money from the Sheriff to give him a fair shake on a law enforcement contract;and if the Sheriff said he can give it to us so affordably that we can't duplicate it,why is that;why can't we duplicate with our taxpayer dollars what he is duplicating with Spokane County's tax dollars; he said the love for the sheriff is what this is all about tonight and it is inappropriate to have that going on here; this is about putting the city of Spokane Valley first;and if you're on this Council and you're taking money from the Sheriff's Deputies Association and you're taking money from Disincorporate Spokane,you should resign;the beatings will continue until morale improves. Steve Shirley: said he owns the Spinal Sports Care Clinic here in Spokane Valley for the last twenty-five years; and owns some other businesses, and lives in Liberty Lake; said as a small business owner he has his own perspective on these proceedings; said he is disturbed by the poor business practices of firing the top notch business administrator without cause and behind closed doors; said he thinks that is a very poor business practice,and now that the story has been picked up by the Associated Press,it makes other people looking at our community, question what's going on here; said there are still several empty buildings along Sprague, and if he were to expand his business here or look into moving into Spokane Valley, and read the reports of what's going on here, it would give him pause before making any change; said when he looks into Mr. Jackson's history, he streamlined the permit process, improved transportation and infrastructure, and his business development skills have all been top-notch; said his fingerprints are all over the successes of the city; and he asked Council why they would fire him; and he said that makes him distrustful and distrust toward government isn't always a good thing. He said he decided to turn to the Constitution since that speaks to at least four Councilmembers;he said that James Madison said: "All men having power ought to be distrusted to some degree;" but he said when he hears about closed door meetings, firing excellent administrators without cause,he comes to the conclusion that he distrusts at least the four Councilmembers to a greater degree. Mr. Shirley said as a small business owner,he conducts performance evaluations; and through a public record request,acquired a copy of the performance review that Council gave Mr.Jackson; from the City Manager evaluation from the period August 14 to August 15, and these are direct feedbacks by Council: "tough negotiator,highly respected,great overall job,good job overall,outstanding job overall, good job with legislative issues, good job on moratorium and legislative issues, huge differences in openness between staff and Council over the previous year, great staff, professional and knowledgeable." Mr. Shirley said, so when did Mike Jackson stop doing an excellent job; he said people in the room know he didn't,but Council put politics before performance and he chastised them for that; and he left with two final questions: If the Council does not want sound leadership, steady guidance, fiscal responsibility,then what do you want; and said Council will have a hard time finding anybody who does a "knock-down job like Mr. Jackson." And said if Council is not acting in the best interest of the City,then whose interest are you representing; and to quote Mr.Woodard,what different direction are you going? Lynn Plaggemeier Spokane Valley: said there were some Councilmen at the Quality Inn before the election, to introduce themselves to the public;and one of the comments made was that it was unusual that Mr.Wood and Mr. Woodard have the same colored signs and are pretty much in the same location, and that Mr. Woodard commented, maybe as a joke,that Mr.Wood was a friend of his and he talked him into running Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 4 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT for office,and he if he's elected,now I will have two votes. Said that on some issues,he thinks Mr.Woodard should recuse himself;and on another topic,the property values in Spokane Valley,that eight years ago we ranked about 40th for a three-bedroom home; as of December 31, we are 14th from the bottom; and other cities like Republic or Aberdeen on the coast,are not great cities to live in are selling three-bedroom houses for$20,000 more than we are;he said something is wrong with Spokane Valley and with the government; said there is always the quip that our taxes have not increased, which is true, but said Council hasn't told the people that ten years ago, when he worked to get the School District to put in an impact fee, now we have built hundreds of apartments and new buildings and that it was Spokane Valley that shot down the impact fee;he said our taxes are going up but they are hidden taxes,the deferred maintenance that this city has is pathetic; the capital improvement — you have to hunt around for capital improvement; drive down Sprague and it looks like a slum. George McCraff:said he does not live in Spokane Valley but lives in that place to the west that is so liberal and so ridiculous that all they can think of is to raise taxes; said Spokane Valley has been a shining light to the east because Spokane doesn't have enough sense to run itself the way Council runs Spokane Valley; said part of running the City of Spokane Valley is by running it by the city charter, and said that if memory serves him right, our City charter says that Council has the right to employ or unemploy the city manager; and with that in mind, he has a different understanding what is happening in Spokane Valley; said this is something that has no sense and reminds him of Spokane with 28 neighborhoods, and each of those is run by 12-15 nosey people who are recognized by the City Council as having standing; so the neighborhoods can get together and tell Council what to do, and the Council has little or nothing they can do except say yes, and we'll raise taxes on everyone because you have a nice idea, but it's not practical; said the City Council was elected for the purpose of running the city, and unless there is something so egregious that Council should be recalled,then people should leave Council alone and let them run it. Jeff Beaulac, Spokane Valley: regarding the Open Meetings Act and government transparency, said seems there is a lack of transparency; seems very clear there has been a direct lack of transparency with this Council and with Washington state law, that is not all that great; said that the Open Public Meetings Act specifies you can't do things in secret, and decisions can't be made without the public knowing; which he said leads him to the question of why was Mike Jackson fired; said the answer the public has been given is that the City wants to go in a different direction, which means there have been discussions about what direction that is, and said the citizens need to know what that direction is; said that RCW 42.30.077 discusses the 24-hour notice, said that was obviously violated and everyone knows that was violated as there weren't 24-hours' notice posted on line; said that leaves a bad taste in your mouth; RCW 42.30.120 specifies how fines can be laid out against the City if any individual wants to file a lawsuit with regard to the City not following the public meeting law, which they will be compted their attorney fees if it was shown they did things in secret,which he said realistically when you see public records violations,back in January cost the State Liquor Control Board$192,000,which isn't a cost the City of Spokane Valley needs; said we need an investigation as citizens don't know what's going on as obviously a direction has been chosen and it's about time the citizens know what that direction is, instead of having to come up here and ask. Allan Creech, Spokane Valley: to continue the discussion of a few weeks ago regarding the Sheriffs oversight committee; shared from his and his family's perspective, said as most know, his father was shot in his own parking lot late at night by a deputy sheriff who had no right,authority or permission to be there; said he appealed to this Council five years ago asking to make some changes about law enforcement, regarding identification and permission for being on private property for example; and said he had a deaf ear turned to him and his request to members of the Council, some of who are here tonight; said that was very disappointing to him but he is now grateful there are some Councilmembers willing to go against the grain; said we heard about the Sheriff's advisory board, and that the Sheriff assured everyone that they do a lot of work looking into events,and wrongful death situations;but that in the midst of all the investigation concerning his father,the Sheriff assured him that he would have an opportunity to speak with the oversight Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 5 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT board, and could share concerns with the investigation, but the end result was, when members of the Oversight Board introduced themselves the other night,that was the first time he had ever met any of them; said that committee does not do the job they claim they do; said it has been established that the board has been compromised, and said he thinks we need an unbiased board that can see some of these law enforcement actions and make corrections; said he spoke with Chief VanLeuven and asked him why have an unmarked car in the middle of the night on personal property, and why not turn on the lights to at least identify yourself as to who you are; and that the Chief told him they don't want to do that because they would lose their tactical advantage; he said that was an offense to him because he doesn't feel he is an enemy to the Sheriff's Department, and knows his father also did not see himself as an enemy to the Sheriff's Department either. Rob Lee, said he has two residences, one in Elk and one here in Spokane Valley: said a lot of people who have complaints about the government; said Spokane Valley has no way to file an ethics complaint against anybody, and he asked the Council to enact an ethics group; said we also need an oversight, not just over the Sheriff's department but a government oversight; said people say that would be layer upon layer, but he said the layers don't consist of the people, as it is the citizens who are being affected by everyone's actions sitting on this board, and all the officers in law enforcement, and everybody else who represents any kind of government; said the people need to have a voice and right now they can't; and that he feels it is time that Spokane Valley becomes more of their own city and enact some of those things. David Starr, Spokane Valley: said concerning the last meeting he attended, that as a member of this community, he was humiliated by the display he saw here; said it was like making a mockery of our community,it was embarrassing and that he hopes he never sees that again; said he thinks we are locked in a bunch of sidetracks on things that may be important,but there's more important things,priorities that this city needs to take care of,and that's the direction we need to go,whether it's an underpass under the railroad, or some of these other things that are affecting our traffic flow or our quality of life in our community; said it's time to stop having power plays and squabbling and get down to the business of taking care of this city. He said he understands that Mr.Jackson was an at-will employee,and to him that says,if there is something that happens that goes against what the City Council wishes, and if it's a majority of City Council and they say, if that's your feelings or your belief and it is contrary to what we want to do, then you're done; said his record might be great, but it only takes; said he worked for the fire department for 32 years and all the "attaboys" can go right out the window with one screw-up; said he might be a great guy, but if his philosophy is not in line with the community or the people who voted to put Council in charge, and he's done something that is contrary or belligerent to Council's desires,that's a fact of life;at-will; said the only thing he can suggest is to maybe adopt some kind of a disciplinary action process that when people complain about something's happened, Council can verify actions with a disciplinary action or letter of reprimand; so the community can look at those things to see why what happened, happened; said he doesn't abide by anyone telling a community that they are going to do something whether that community wants it or not; he said this Council voted in line with what the community wanted at that last week and said he was proud of Council for doing that;but suggested Council stay the course and stay with city business and not let these things stop us or slow us down. Heather Tanner, Spokane Valley: said she just moved here in July; said they chose Spokane Valley as they heard how family-friendly it was,and it has great schools; said she noticed an absence of sidewalks in some areas,and a lot of beautiful green space that is private property; said they live in the Ridgemont area,a huge area, but there are no places for the children to play; and the same is true with many other apartment complexes; she asked where is the health and community incentive to have parks within a community development; she asked if developers are being requested to develop nice walking trails or neighborhood park structures; and she would like to see development within the neighborhoods. Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 6 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT Tony Lazanis, Spokane Valley: said that Mr. Jackson was a nice guy but a while back Council fired the other city manager; said the books were juggled and he took another$500,000; said it is a political job and the decision is up to Council if you're not happy and he does something,you can fire him. Gene Strunk, Spokane Valley: said he is happy to report that at 68 years old and on the verge of death he has witnessed the existence of the Easter Bunny today; and all we're missing in this room today is a little baby puppy with wings flying through the room giving winning lottery tickets to people, that's how ridiculous this is; said he heard former Mayor Towey talking about how terrible you people are, and all the people behind him telling how terrible you people are,but said the only problem is,no one brought a copy of the agreement between City Manager Jackson and the City of Spokane Valley,which was signed by the former Mayor who just spoke,who has a brother who has received five times more health coverage then a terminated employee would receive; said apparently Mr. Towey didn't know what he signed; in section 10 termination of the contract, and the only sentence that is applicable: "The majority of the governing body votes to terminate the employee at a duly authorized public meeting." He said a majority is four,so Council acted within its capacity because Councilmembers were elected by other citizens, other than this handful with the Easter Bunny with them behind him; said the point is the document doesn't say anything about being a good guy, or about my children go to school with his children; it doesn't say anything else other than Council has the right to terminate Mr. Jackson with a vote of four; said there isn't anything else other than a very substantial severance package,which he said he is sure Mr. Jackson will receive. Gordon Curry, Spokane Valley: said he heard a lot of comments about how great Mr. Jackson is; that he had several meetings with him when he (Mr. Curry)was building homes in the area;talked last with him a couple years ago; they had three meetings, and each time he agreed to do something to try and help the situation; said the building department is still absolutely out of control due to the amount of time it takes to get a building permit; said previously he could go down to the County and get a building permit in one day; said that here it takes two to three weeks, and he heard some developer say it took eleven months to get a permit to do business here; said he developed a 112-unit mobile home park on Barker Road many years ago and it worked out great; said he realizes time and situations change, but that he and Mr. Jackson had several meetings and finally after the fourth or fifth meeting,Mr. Jackson shuffled him off to someone else because he didn't want to talk to him. David Wiyrick, Spokane Valley: said he thinks the City Council should discuss the cost of the Spokane County District Court to the city; said he has done some research and made some contacts; and state-wide Spokane County and King County lead the state by 25%in district court judges; said at this time it looks like there are about eight court judges in Spokane County and the need is at 6.25; so there are about two judges we probably don't need at a cost of about $150,000 each plus their assistant at about $50,000; he said that Spokane Valley therefore pays about 20%of the Spokane County District Court;he asked the City Council and the City Manager and City Attorney to look at the documents he presented, said some are obviously a little outdated as the information wasn't readily available,but it looks like our City could save $300,000 or$400,000 if they looked into this closely and might consider hiring their own municipal court judge and take this on your own,with a city prosecutor;said he provided all the data to Council and it would need to be checked out, but there are some real questions that he included in the documents; and he asked Council and staff to have a public conversation later on after they had a chance to look over the information; and discuss it with the voters of Spokane Valley. 1.Administrative Report: Limited Tax General Obligation(LTGO)Bonds for City Hall—Mark Calhoun Mr.Calhoun said the proceeds of this limited tax general obligation bond would be used for the construction of a new city hall; and he went through some of the background of the project, which was included in the March 22, 2016 Request for Council Action (RCA) form, adding that this project went out to bid March 18,2016,and the bid opening is scheduled for April 21,2016.Mr.Calhoun explained the anticipated project financing, also included in the March 22,2016, RCA. Mr. Calhoun then introduced Bond Counsel Deanna Gregory with Pacific Law Group, members of the financial group Lindsey Sovde with Piper Jaffrey, and Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 7 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT Dave Trageser with D.A. Davidson. Financial Advisor Ms. Sovde, said her fiduciary responsibility is to do what is in the best interest of this City; and she briefly went through the process including the RFP process to hire an underwriter,and that they hired D.A. Davidson as having submitted the best proposal of all firms responding; said she feels our bond issue will be well received, and mentioned our City has a strong AA credit rating; and she will be talking to Moody's Investor Service about maintaining the credit rating; said they are also working on drafting the offering document that will go out to investors to solicit interest for the bonds, and the preliminary official statement should be available May 12,which is after Council takes action to approve the bond ordinance; said they anticipate pricing the bonds May 19,the date the interest rate will be locked, and they will close the bond issue on June 2,the date bond proceeds will be available; and will be actively involved on pricing of the bonds May 19 as well,to make sure we get a good interest rate. In response to Councilmember Gothmann's question about our bond capacity, Mr. Calhoun replied that each month the finance department issues a finance activity report, and on the third from the last page on that report, there is a dialogue on the City's debt capacity; these are limited tax GO bonds, so the debt capacity is 1.5%of the assessed value and our assessed value is just under$8 billion, so 1.5%of that would be $120 million; speaking from memory he said we have about$7 million outstanding, adding another $8 million, so it would take that capacity from $120 million to $105 million. Mr. Dave Trageser, with D.A. Davidson, said in his role as underwriter, his role is to market the bonds to investors at the lowest interest rates; the good news is that interest rates are still near forty-year lows; in today's market we are looking at approximately 3.36%for a 30-year fixed rate financing; said the City has a good credit rating, are expecting the marketing to be a smooth process; and they will be preparing the necessary documents. Ms. Deanna Gregory, with Pacific Law Group, will be representing the City in this transaction;they draft the bond ordinance and closing documents,and will make sure all the federal tax law requirements will be met; and that they will render a legal opinion on the bond issue; and she went over some of the parameters of the bond ordinance,which is the only official action Council will take regarding the issuance of the bonds,with the other official actions delegated to the City Manager; she also mentioned there could be some changes based on how the bonds come in and on actual locked interest rates; said these bonds fall within the city's approval capacity and are not based on voter approval. Mr. Calhoun then briefly went over the upcoming calendar of events,seeking Council consensus to move forward as planned. There were no objections. At 7:33 p.m., Mayor Higgins called for a recess; he reconvened the meeting at approximately 7:45 p.m. 2. CONSENT AGENDA: Consists of items considered routine which are approved as a group. Any member of Council may ask that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda to be considered separately. Proposed Motion:I move to approve the Consent Agenda. a. Approval of claim vouchers on March 22, 2016 Request for Council Action Form, Total: $2,858,570.80 b. Approval of Payroll for Pay Period Ending March 15, 2016: $364,344.22 c. Approval of February 23, 2016 Council Meeting Minutes, Formal Format d. Approval of March 1, 2016 Council Meeting Minutes, Study Session Format e. Approval of March 8,2016 Council Meeting Minutes, Special 4:00 p.m. Meeting It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to approve the Consent agenda. PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins invited public comments. Lynn Plaggemeier, Spokane Valley: said if you call up and ask the city for a copy of the justification for the new city hall, guess what you get? Nothing. What you get is little snippets out of board meetings for the last three years and that's all you get. There is not a written justification for this facility; said when you are talking about spending that much money,the citizens need to be able to pull out a sheet of paper showing the justification for our city hall, signed by the councilmembers and mayor; also said that federal buildings do not permit any plaques on the inside of buildings unless the individuals that were working on them are deceased; said he would like to have the Council make sure that there are no dedication plaques inside this Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 8 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT building with councilmember's names on them; said there was talk of a city police department;that this city has so much on its plate,a city run Police Department would be a disaster;there are modifications that can be made to the existing contract to take care of anything; said he thinks that is a very important issue, and suggested having a committee to look at modifying the contract and not throw it out. Nina Fluegal, Spokane Valley: said we want a change in the valley; said we want a change from the federal government on down, and with that change also comes acceptance as to what comes with that change such as decisions made in the majority form; said we want a change,we got it;we have to learn to trust our new Council and she does, and she wishes more people would give the opportunity to see past the immediate political issues as they say they are, which she said, she doesn't believe; said the shoe is on the other foot, and you gotta walk with both feet. Gene Strunk, Spokane Valley: said he apologizes to Council, he doesn't like being here, hadn't been here in years, but lately things have been going on to where he's compelled to be here; said what he was going to talk about is something that he doesn't like talking about, but it is necessary; said he believes that this Council should seriously consider asking for the resignation of the city attorney; the city attorney demonstrated during the vote concerning Mr. Jackson, a lack of agency on behalf of the citizens of this community; said "agency" means he understands who he represents; the only people he represents is the citizens,the taxpayers. During that meeting he openly wept when Mr.Jackson was terminated;that creates a problem; as we witnesses today,there were twenty or thirty people back here that are carrying the ropes and the spears; said that could lead to a lawsuit eventually particularly since there are two Councilmembers here who insist upon throwing gas on the fire; and that is a problem legally; as a taxpayer he said there is no way the current city attorney can represent taxpayers, because he does not know where his agency lies, and he cannot be our advocate,and he recited the duty of competent representative rule for a city attorney, "A member shall not intentionally,recklessly or repeatedly fail to perform legal services with competence; competence means to apply this (1) diligence; (2) learning and skill, and (3) mental and emotional and physical ability reasonably necessary for the performance of such a service."Our city attorney demonstrated hands-down by walking out crying, he could not represent the taxpayers, he was too emotionally tired to the city manager; therefore, he'd like to see him resign, and if not,there are a group of people that will go forward and file a complaint with the State Bar Association if he chooses not to resign, and under no circumstances, should Council allow him to represent the taxpayers in any future litigation that may be brought by the City Manager, and if you do that, he would suggest to people he knows that a civil action be brought against both he and the City Manager because if you read the termination agreement, it's very specific about indemnification for the city manager, and you need to read it. ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS 3. SCRAPS Update—Mark Calhoun Deputy City Manager Calhoun gave some background information concerning SCRAPS as our animal control services provider, including information about the revenue and budget in detail, as noted on the March 22, 2016 Request for Council Action form; said some questions arose about a$20.00 late fee, and noted that the fee has not changed in years, which prompted some discussion if that is an encouragement or discouragement for people licensing their pets,especially if the late fee exceeds the license renewal cost. Mr. Calhoun said there would be further discussions in the future on that issue. Mr. Koudelka explained that although not written or generally known to the public,there is a 45-day grace period where they forgive late fees; and said that will be examined closer as well. Mr. Koudelka said we are in the process of having quarterly newsletters to the community and an idea was to insert license information; said we already have information on our website, and we will be looking to enhance that through the year. Mr. Calhoun mentioned that we are now two years into a twenty-year interlocal agreement and it has been a huge success in terms of service and cost, and ended by stating that it is staff's intent to give Council an annual update on this service. Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 9 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT 4. Sidewalk/Snow Removal— Cary Driskell City Attorney Driskell went over several discussion points concerning the issue of snow and ice on sidewalks, including natural accumulations and accumulations from other sources such as snow plows and who has responsibility for removal of that snow and ice, and that he would like to get some consensus on Council's preferred direction. He explained that our City already places this responsibility on adjoining property owners as per the City's Code 7.05.040, and he mentioned the option of treating snow and ice as a nuisance and the civil penalties associated with such; he mentioned consideration of using infraction citations in addition to or part of an educational program, and included some of our existing educational venues such as the annual letters to all registered businesses, and brochure distributions. There was some Council discussion about the infraction system or some variation of that system,and to perhaps try starting with the businesses and school areas. Deputy Mayor Woodard also suggested the idea of having our code enforcement officers take some time each day or few hours a week,to talk with the businesses one-on-one. Deputy Mayor Woodard also suggested the idea of having a map identifying those targeted areas,including the safe routes to school. After further Council discussion, it was determined that Mr. Driskell and Mr. Hohman will work together to gather more ideas for voluntary compliance,work more with the map idea, and perhaps include an area within 1,000 feet of schools. 5. Uncovered, Unsecured loads—Erik Lamb After Deputy City Attorney Lamb introduced Legal Intern Caleb Hatch,they went through the PowerPoint presentation giving background about the solid waste system including information about beginning with an education process to inform the public about uncovered or unsecured loads and any possible fees, and moving into draft/potential language concerning the transportation of waste materials. It was determined that staff should move forward with a draft ordinance,and to bring back research materials concerning fines for littering. 6. Independent Investigative Counsel— Cary Driskell City Attorney Driskell explained the issue as noted on his March 22, 2016 Request for Council Action (RCA) form, and highlighted ten relevant issues Council might want to consider for an independent investigator to consider;as well as the legal sufficiency of the notice of the meeting,and whether there was an illegal meeting between the four members of the majority which voted to request Mr. Jackson's resignation. Council discussion included whether to have at future meetings,further discussion or a motion or both;the importance of transparency and of knowing the correct procedure and the importance of process for these types of issues; and there was eventually consensus to delay the start of the investigation until all outstanding issues have been resolved regarding Mr. Jackson's separation. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded to extend the meeting fifteen more minutes. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor:Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Woodard, and Councilmembers Grafos, Pace, Gothmann and Hafner. Opposed: Councilmember Wood. Motion carried. 7. Advance Agenda—Mayor Higgins Deputy Mayor Woodard suggested having Christine Barada of the Spokane County Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee come to a Council meeting and explain what they do,how it relates to Spokane Valley, and about the grant process. There were no objections. Councilmember Wood read the following statement: "Mr. Grafos demanded records and legal advice from Carnhope Water District.Is it appropriate,and this brings into question his motivation and standing to make such a demand; note that Mr. Grafos is currently a City Councilmember in Spokane Valley, he is the immediate past mayor, is known to the person to whom he made that demand.While it is possible that Mr. Grafos never mentioned by what authority he was making his demand, he was most fervently relying on his current and past status in city government to imply that he had some legitimate authority to do so. Such an action would have had to have been authorized by the Spokane Valley City Council to act on its behalf Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 03-22-2016 Page 10 of 11 Approved by Council: DRAFT in such a manner. He did not have such authority, therefore, one can conclude that he at best acted inappropriately and at worst,besmirched the name of the City Council by his actions." In response, Mr. Grafos said that "this is a public entity, Carnhope Irrigation District, and as a citizen of this city, he has the right to ask for the books of that Carnhope Irrigation District; and as a paid member, Chairman of the board of that district,Mr.Wood should readily say,let's provide that information,but you do not provide that information; and you came to this Council a couple of weeks ago and you talked about how this water district was in trouble financially and that we should try to help this water district and how important these water districts were. And it was talked about by the Council,in the public,that we needed to help these poor water districts. Well, the information that was provided to me was that the Carnhope Irrigation District has a revenue fund with$1,020,171 in it;you have$212,000 in operating money and you have another reserve fund of$16,000, so my question is why was money diverted and awarded to the Carnhope Irrigation District when that money belonged to,was for a sidewalk project for the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley." INFORMATION ONLY The (8)Department Monthly Reports; and the (9)WSDOT Call for Projects were for information only and were not reported or discussed. CITY MANAGER COMMENTS Mr. Calhoun mentioned that members of the DAR(Daughters of the American Revolution)will be holding a flag ceremony this Tuesday, March 29th, at 9:00 a.m. in front of City Hall.

It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to amend the agenda to add a motion item regarding the suspension of City Manager Mike Jackson, and that this will be added as item 5.1 on the agenda tonight. 1. Comprehensive Plan—Water Rights,Water Districts—Adam Jackson,Henry Allen As they explained the issue via their PowerPoint presentation, Development Engineer Allen and Assistant Engineer Jackson noted that the information is a summary of their findings, and Mr. Jackson mentioned that in an effort to ensure accuracy,he worked with each district concerning those supplemental breakdown sheets; and that overall,tonight's informational review is to provide a cursory review of findings regarding the City's inventory of water supply services.Mr.Jackson mentioned that Spokane Valley has sixteen water districts within its boundary; and he went over the residential service population data taken from the Department of Health website,and said that the data showing the area within the city limits,which excludes the City of Spokane, shows the largest of those water districts as Consolidated,Vera and Water District#3. Discussion ensued regarding data showing Vera Water and Power with 100%water rights used; and Mr. Jackson said that does raise concern on how to manage, or how the Department of Ecology manages irritation rights. Mr.Allen noted that agricultural irrigation rights can't be used for municipal water rights, and that a lot of water rights are titled"irrigation"—so we are not sure how Ecology will review those and one of the next steps is to determine the need; he said they will be talking more to the districts and conducting further research. 2. Solid Waste Collection—Eric Guth, Erik Lamb, Morgan Koudelka After Mr.Koudelka went over the history to-date of the solid waste collections services,Mr. Guth said that staff will go out for bids prior to the termination of the contracts; that an RFP (request for proposal) was issued for a consultant to assist in putting the RFP together for the contractors, and we received two proposals, and while both were well qualified, Epicenter was chosen; he said they were slightly less expensive,we have them under contract now;he and Mr. Koudelka went over the planning topics, as well as the next steps, all which were included in the March 29, 2016 Request for Council Action form. Mr. Guth said staff plans to bring items back on this topic throughout the summer. The public involvement segment of this issue was also discussed, and it was noted that this topic would be addressed in the City's Hot Topics Newsletters which gets mailed out in mid-June to all City residents. Council Study Session: 03-29-2016 Page 1 of 3 Approved by Council: DRAFT 3. Washington State Department of Transportation Call for Projects; Bicycles, Safe Routes to Schools — Eric Guth Mr. Guth and Mr. Worley went over the information in their March 29, 2016 Request for Council Action form,explaining the two programs issuing a call for projects; i.e. Safe Routes to School,and the Pedestrian and Bicycle programs.Based on the grant criteria,they explained their recommendations for each program. Mr. Worley said staff is open to suggestions as well; and he went over the basics of those projects. Discussion turned to the suggested, or typical levels of matching funds, which are not required for these projects,but could result in a higher score.Mr. Calhoun reminded everyone that matching funds come from the REET (real estate excise tax) funds, and that we are constrained by financial reality; as usually there are an infinite number of desired projects,yet a finite amount of funds.Mr.Worley added that such decision does not have to occur tonight about what percentage of funding. Deputy Mayor Woodard mentioned the idea of crossing lights at the Trail and Evergreen as that is a high density area and as such, it is difficult to cross the street to get to Safeway, and asked if that light is funded by money from the trail. Mr. Worley confirmed it is. Mr. Worley also explained that in addition to stated grant criteria, they look at what it is they are trying to address with the project, such as reducing accidents, or helping kids get safely to school; they also look at the recommendations in the Comp Plan as well as the Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Program, and whether a project is on an arterial; and because going through a federal right-of-way acquisition process can be very cumbersome, staff also tries to find projects that don't need a right-of-way purchase. 4. FASTLANE (Fostering Advancements in Shipping & Transportation for the Long-term Achievement of National Efficiencies),and TIGER(Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery)Grants —Eric Guth Director Guth explained that the United States Department of Transportation issued a call for projects for two grant programs,the FASTLANE,and the TIGER VIII; said the TIGER has a$21 million minimal out- of-pocket, and although it has a reputation of underfunding projects, said we are still hopeful; the FASTLANE is a new, multi-year grant where funding is possible each year, with a total of$4.5 billion allotted nationwide for 2016; said only 60% of a project can be funded, but you could add 20% of other federal funds to this project;that local matches can be a variety; small projects have a$5 million minimum and$25 million maximum;while large projects range from$25 million up to$100 million.Mr. Guth noted that recommendations are both Bridging the Valley projects, and it would be a great improvement to the road network and getting around the railroad tracks; but said there are pros and cons of bundling the projects, and he explained some of the financing components as noted on his March 29, 2016 Request for Council Action form. Due to the complexities of these applications and of the tight timeline,Mr. Guth said they hired a consultant to help put the applications together, and that they concur with staff's recommendations;he mentioned he is also working with our Lobbyist,Briahna Murray to get some support letters for these projects,which will be gathered over the next few weeks. Mr. Guth said we would find out this fall if we were successful with these grants, and we would have to obligate the construction funds by September 2019. Council concurred for staff to move forward bundling these in whichever method would prove best. 5. Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies—John Hohman, Lori Barlow Director Hohman said tonight will be a very brief overview of coming events on the comprehensive plan; that they will focus on the audit as part of Contract #2 with Van Ness Feldman, and mentioned the memorandum from that firm included in tonight's council packet material. Mr.Hohman explained that the consultant came in and reviewed the existing goals and policies and determined how many were redundant or had overlapping areas, as well as what was missing and required by state law, as we want to ensure we keep up with any state-level changes; said tonight is a first touch and two more are planned, and he encouraged Council to take as much time as they feel is necessary; said in a few weeks council will have a better document and more detail; and mentioned the plan to have a combined Council and Planning Commission meeting in May,which could be a focused session on goals and policies with Tadas Kisielius. Mr. Hohman said that tonight Ms. Barlow will walk through the draft document; he encouraged Council Council Study Session: 03-29-2016 Page 2 of 3 Approved by Council: DRAFT not to worry about specific language, as tonight is an opportunity to introduce the format of how this will work moving forward, and that there will be more detailed discussions in the coming weeks. Ms. Barlow said tonight's purpose is to get feedback and make sure we are going in the right direction; said this should be viewed as a tool to get feedback and to highlight the focus areas that are evolving from the process; she walked Council through one of the eight identified elements in order to give Council a sense of how this will be used. Ms. Barlow also mentioned that some of the elements are required by the Growth Management Act. There was brief Council discussion including mention of the younger generation using cars less and buying apartments instead of homes; and of Council's desire to examine all the elements. Mr. Hohman said staff will move forward and being this back again in a few weeks. Council concurred. 5.1 Motion Consideration: City Manager Mike Jackson's Suspension Deputy Mayor Woodard said that in light of the City's Council's prior motion on February 23, 2016, to request the resignation of City Manager Mike, Jackson,I move that City Manager Mike Jackson continue to be in suspended status will full pay and benefits until such time as the specific terms of his separation agreement shall be finalized, but not to exceed 4:00 p.m. on April 29, 2016. Councilmember Pace seconded the motion. There was no Council discussion. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None.Motion carried. 6. Advance Agenda—Mayor Higgins Councilmember Grafos mentioned that Councilmembers are all on various committees, and sometimes during those committee meetings, an issue comes forward that involves the financial status of our City, whether that's a grant on a sidewalk, or otherwise; and said he thinks that if it is an issue of the City's money, a discussion should be held in front of the full Council whether that decision is made to move forward on a City project, or it's moved elsewhere; said he thinks that would take the "gray area" out of some of these committees; and as an example, if you have a$300,000 or$400,000 city project that's been approved, that he thinks it is beyond the purview of one Councilmember on that committee to act alone, and that he would like that topic included as an agenda item. Mr. Calhoun suggested addressing that in the Governance Manual as well; and Councilmembers Grafos and Gothmann agreed. 7. Council Comments—Mayor Higgins Councilmembers Hafner, Gothmann and Pace mentioned today's Vietnam War Vets flag ceremony, and extended thanks to the DAR(Daughters of the American Revolution). Councilmember Wood said he did a Meals on Wheels ride-along and mentioned the fabulous job all their volunteers do in serving meals to so many people. 8. City Manager Comments—Mark Calhoun Concerning the oil train deliberations and the Tesoro facility of a few months ago, Mr. Calhoun mentioned that City staff had been contacted by the Spokane Lands Council who advised us that the Vancouver Port District will be considering whether to renew the lease with Tesoro Savage as they go through the siting process with the State, and that apparently it has taken longer than anticipated and if the Vancouver Port District doesn't renew the lease by August 1,2016,then the project ends;the Spokane Lands Council asked that we forward our prior letter of objection that we provided to both the State and Port District,and request that the Port not renew the lease. Council concurred for staff to re-send the letter. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed, to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 7:35 p.m. ATTEST: L.R.

It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to approve the amended agenda. A. Motion Consideration: Approval of Allocation of Funds for Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project— Steve Worley It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard and seconded that the City of Spokane Valley obligate $719,921 of federal earmark funds for the design of the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project with the understanding that City staff will come forward at a later date to amend the design phase including the use of REET money into the 2016 Budget. Director Guth went over the history and background of the project, including the federal earmarked funds, all as noted on his April 5, 2016 Request for Council Action form; adding that the cost will likely be closer to $1 million; said federal earmarked funds do not require a match and about $300,000 in REET (real estate excise tax) funds have already been allocated within the budget to help with the design effort; said once proposals are submitted he will have a closer cost estimate; said this would start the ten-year clock on the right-of-way;that we would have ten years from then to get to the construction phase; said if approved, staff would come back later and amend the REET dollars in the 2016 budget,but tonight he is asking for approval to move forward as noted in the motion.Mayor Higgins invited public comment;no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation:In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed:None. Motion carried. 1. Rescue Task Force Update —Fire Capt. Cornelius, Police Sgt.Whapeles Police Sgt. Whapeles explained that the initial phase of this task force started two years ago; said a goal was to teach everyone how to deal with such things as wounds such as one might encounter in combat as well as with an active shooter situation; said there were some active shooter situations in Spokane Valley, and he mentioned the Lewis and Clark incident where a student took over a classroom at gunpoint, the Martin Luther King parade bombing in Spokane, and said a heavily armed shooter was also headed to the mall and the Task Force was able to stop him;he mentioned the team training and that the Police and Fire Departments work together. Fire Chief Cornelius talked about the history of the task force,the grant,team Council Study Session: 04-05-2016 Page 1 of 2 Approved by Council: DRAFT selection,training, equipment, and mutual aid agreements with other jurisdictions;he also noted their team members are all volunteers. Council thanked them both for an informative presentation. 2. Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment(CPA 2016-0001)—Karen Kendall Planner Kendall explained that this is the first and only privately initiated comprehensive plan amendment; and she explained the proposal to change the area from low density residential to a light industrial designation; and if approved, said the site would receive a zoning designation consistent with the new land use designation; said the Planning Commission held a study session with discussion about the future use of the seven parcels and the impact to the surrounding properties; and said a motion was unanimously passed to recommend approval to Council; she showed the location on the map of the areas in question,as well as photos from various angles, and went over the approval criteria and required findings, as well as other considerations, such as projected population for the area and other effects on the comprehensive plan. Ms. Kendall also noted that Avista now completely owns all seven parcels. Councilmember Pace asked about last year's proposed amendment on Flora and Indiana and how that issue could be re-addressed.Ms.Barlow said that was a site-specific amendment so therefore falls into the annual amendment cycle, which opens toward the end of August and closes by November 1; said we could take the citizens through the process, and that staff will be looking at all land use designations and areas within the city as well as zoning designations, and could possibly look at that area again as part of the update process to see if it meets the criteria; otherwise,that property would have to be brought back as an annual comprehensive plan amendment in the future,and of course,those property owners could participate in the process if they desired. It was agreed to move this forward to a first reading. 3. Advance Agenda—Mayor Higgins Councilmember Pace said since the City's Police Chief is retiring this summer, he would like Council to review and discuss Spokane Valley Municipal Code 2.30 about the position of Police Chief, and to have those discussions before the hiring of a new police chief. Council agreed. Councilmember Pace said he would also like a review of the Law Enforcement Contract with the County, and wants Council to have an opportunity to discuss and propose any changes before that contract automatically renews, and suggested doing so before June. Mr. Calhoun likened such discussion to a continuation of the topic from the March 15 workshop, and Council agreed. City Clerk Bainbridge mentioned the upcoming tentative meetings for May 3 and Council agreed to have a 5 p.m. special meeting for the City Hall Bid Award,and later that same day to have a joint meeting with the Planning Commission to discuss the comprehensive plan. 4. The (a) Senior Citizens Association Memorandum of Understanding, and the (b) Solid Waste Right-of- way Maintenance fee were for information only and were not reported or discussed. 5. Council Comments—Mayor Higgins Mayor Higgins announced that he will not be attending next week's Council meeting. 6. City Manager Comments—Mark Calhoun Mr. Calhoun brought Council's attention to the Solid Waste Informational memo in the Council packet, which explains about our contract with Sunshine,and of the fee which resulted in us receiving a check from Sunshine for$56,000,which will be deposited into the street fund to be used for street maintenance. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 6:57 p.m. ATTEST: Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk L.R.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 70.93.097. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council heard an administrative report on December 1, 2015. Council heard a second administrative report on March 22, 2016. BACKGROUND: State law requires that cities having a manned waste transfer station adopt a local law making it unlawful to transport waste materials on public rights-of-way unless those waste materials are covered or otherwise secured from coming out of the vehicle and littering the right-of-way. Further, State law authorizes those cities to collect a fee for anyone arriving at a transfer station with an uncovered or unsecured load. The City of Spokane, through the Regional Solid Waste System, provided transfer station services in Spokane Valley until November 2014, and enforced its own uncovered/unsecured load provision. Spokane Valley established its own solid waste system in November 2014 and has determined that RCW 70.93.097 requires that the City adopt Code provisions addressing these issues since it has contracted with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. for the use of the University Transfer Station. On December 1, 2015, staff presented an administrative report on the need for City code amendments to comply with RCW 70.93.097. During that report, Staff discussed proposed code amendments that would closely track RCW 70.93.097. The proposed amendments also included additional language making it illegal to transport hazardous materials or biomedical waste in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person or property. Regulating hazardous materials or biomedical waste is not necessary under the statute, but some jurisdictions have a similar provision to have a tool to address instances when it comes up. The proposal also included the authority for the City to collect a fee from any self-haulers who arrive at the Sunshine University Transfer Station with an uncovered load. As discussed at that administrative report, the fee amount is not specified in State law, and so is subject to the discretion of the local legislative body. At the administrative report, Council requested additional information on what fee levels other cities have, how they are enforced, and other potential options in lieu of a fee. In response, Staff has reviewed code provisions from other cities to determine how comprehensive various approaches are. Jurisdictions impose a wide range of fees from $5 upwards to $25 for initial violations, and increased amounts for repeat offenders. Further, staff contacted several jurisdictions regarding implementation and enforcement of their fees. Generally, other jurisdictions indicated challenges in imposing fees regularly. Several do not enforce fees, or give warnings or other educational materials in lieu of fees. Those that enforce fees indicated that there are often difficulties and enforcement often leads to angry customers. Staff also met with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc., to discuss possible options at the University Transfer Station. Through our discussion with Sunshine, they indicated that it does not appear to be a major issue for self-haulers dumping at the University Transfer Station. On March 22, 2016, staff presented an administrative report with suggested revisions. The City is still required to adopt regulations prohibiting the transportation of uncovered or unsecured waste loads, so the revised proposal continued to track RCW 70.93.097 and makes it illegal to transport waste without securing or covering it. However, in lieu of imposing a required fee, the revised proposal provides that Council may impose a fee to be collected at the University Transfer Station at such time and in such amount as it may determine necessary through modification to the City's adopted fee resolution. Since there will not be an immediate fee, staff recommends creating appropriate educational materials (e.g., brochures or website materials) that can be distributed by Sunshine at the University Transfer Station to those who do not have secured or covered loads. Staff included mock-ups of an example website and examples of brochures that other jurisdictions distribute. Further, staff recommends working with Sunshine on tracking the number of haulers that do not have secured or covered loads in order to determine whether a fee may in fact be needed and what amount might be appropriate; at which time, staff would return to Council and Council could establish such fee as it may deem appropriate. The remainder of the revised proposal tracks the original proposal and includes the additional language making it illegal to transport hazardous materials or biomedical waste in a manner that endangers or is likely to endanger any person or property. Finally, in order to enforce the new provisions, the proposal provides for penalties of violations. Some cities make a violation a misdemeanor, while some make it an infraction. A class 2 civil infraction carries a penalty of $125, but with statutory assessments (additional fees) it comes to approximately $265. If the Council would prefer making a lower infraction, the penalty plus assessments of a class 3 civil infraction are approximately $120. The proposed penalty for illegally transporting hazardous or biomedical waste is a misdemeanor, punishable by up to 90 days in jail and/or up to $1,000 fine. This is proposed due to the higher risk of harm to the public if there is a violation. Council gave consensus to proceed to a first reading. Council is now considering proposed Ordinance No. 16-004, which tracks the proposal presented on March 22, 2016. However, Council must still determine the penalty level (class 2 or class 3) for violations. OPTIONS: Move to advance to a second reading, with or without further amendments. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance No. 16-004, adopting Spokane Valley Municipal Code Chapter 7.10, relating to the transportation of waste materials to a second reading.

BACKGROUND: The WSDOT (Washington State Department of Transportation) issued a Call for projects for the statewide Safe Routes to School and Pedestrian and Bicycle grant programs. This call is for federal and state funding for the 2017-2019 biennium. Currently, $18.4 million is anticipated statewide for the Pedestrian and Bicycle program and $19.2 million statewide for the Safe Routes to School Program. The Safe Routes to School program solicits projects that address school traffic safety, access and mobility within two miles of a school and/or local transportation safety program servicing children in grades K-12. The purpose is to increase the number of children walking and biking to school safely. Projects may include sidewalk improvements, traffic calming and speed reduction improvements, and pedestrian and bicycle crossing improvements. The application deadline for Safe Route to School program is May 13, 2016. The Pedestrian and Bicycle program solicits projects that reduce pedestrian and bicycle collisions and increase the number of people who choose to walk and bike for transportation. Projects of these types are facilities or systems to increase pedestrian/bicycle safety and/or mobility infrastructure improvements. The application deadline for the Pedestrian and Bicycle program is May 6, 2016. Staff reviewed the grant criteria for both programs and recommends the following projects under each grant program: Proposed Grant Application Projects Estimated 10% Project City 20%City Cost Match Match Safe Routes to School Wellesley Sidewalk Project(north side only), McDonald to Evergreen $580,000 $58,000 $116,000 16th Ave Street Lighting Project, Dishman Mica to University $230,000 $23,000 $46,000 Mission Ave Street Lighting Project, McDonald to Sullivan $390,000 $39,000 $78,000 Cit ide School Zone Crossing Beacons 12 Locations $400,000 $40,000 $80,000 Pedestrian and Bicycle Program Indiana Ave Sidewalk Project, Pines (SR-27)to STA Park&Ride $600,000 $60,000 $120,000 The WSDOT grant criteria indicates that projects do not require a match but that projects with matching funds will be scored more favorably. In the chart above, City Match amounts are shown if the City elects to match at either 10 or 20 percent. The Council may elect to provide a match to help increase the potential for receiving grant funds. Given the decline in REET funds after 2017, staff would recommend either a 10% or no match option (please refer to the attached REET Revenue and Scheduled Disbursements Table and Chart). At the City Council meeting held on March 29, 2016 the Council asked about the possible inclusion of a HAWK (High-Intensity Activated Crosswalk beacon) signal at the Evergreen and Appleway Trail crossing. Staff investigated the possibility of applying for the Evergreen crossing using funds from this grant program to install the HAWK signal sooner than 2018 (the planned year for installation using federal funds). Obtaining grant funds from this Pedestrian and Bicycle program would not allow the signal to be constructed much sooner than what is already scheduled in 2018. And it is anticipated that the costs on this type of smaller project, versus the installation of the signal being constructed as part of the larger federally funded Appleway Trail project, would be greater. Therefore, staff would recommend against pursuing these Pedestrian and Bicycle program funds to build the HAWK signal at Evergreen and the Appleway Trail. Council also suggested staff approach Spokane Transit Authority about possibly being a financial partner on the Indiana Ave Sidewalk Project, Pines (SR-27) to STA Park & Ride Staff has posed the question to STA and is awaiting a response. OPTIONS: 1) Approve the list of recommended projects for both the Safe Routes to School and Pedestrian and Bicycle Programs as presented, or 2) Revise the list of projects. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the Deputy City Manager to authorize staff to apply for WSDOT's Pedestrian and Bicycle Program and Safe Route to School grant funds for the projects outlined above with no matching funds. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No financial match is required for these projects; however, the "Call for Projects" indicates that projects with matching funds will be scored more favorably. Possible REET matching fund scenarios are presented in the table above. STAFF CONTACT: Eric Guth, P.E., Public Works Director.

Additionally through this grant, a second dolly trailer ($ 13,000) has been received that includes improved features which have increased safety and mitigated wear and tear to the aircraft. Safety aircraft tracking & communication equipment was also awarded through the same grant. This tracking equipment includes SpiderTracks real-time aircraft tracking system,via the iridium satellite network, and functions as emergency event notification . Second, an Emergency Locator Transmitter (ELT) was obtained,which will be installed in AIR-2, increasing safety and meeting accreditation standards. In an effort to improve the video systems of both aircraft, SRASU was also able to obtain two FLIR camera systems from surplus at Joint Base Lewis-McCord in May. In addition to the value of these upgraded camera systems to mission performance,the value saved for our unit in obtaining these cameras via surplus is approximately $375,000.

Currently, the Spokane Valley Municipal Code addresses RV's, Accessory Dwelling Units, and to a certain extent park model homes. Tiny homes, tiny home communities, and cottage housing were not considered during the 2008 development regulations update. In order to address smaller house option inquiries from the public, the current zoning regulations are being reviewed. A memo has been prepared that describes types of tiny houses and tools for siting tiny home developments and how several jurisdictions are regulating them. The document is attached for your review. Staff will present an overview of the housing alternatives, pertinent regulations, including a comparison of City requirements to that of other jurisdictions, and discuss tiny house issues.

Demand: There has been an emerging demand for smaller than typical housing. "Empty nesters" or those who desire a simple lifestyle are seeking a smaller house size. Others may be potential first-time home buyers or may be experiencing low income and require a dwelling that is affordable. Smaller houses are also appealing for the elderly who can't continue to maintain their existing home and yard but are still independent, and nonprofit groups are utilizing the movement as a solution for the homeless. Tiny Homes: The tiny house movement has gained a lot of attention due to popular TV shows such as Tiny House Nation and Tiny House Hunters. Often times the tiny house is perceived to be a catchall for smaller than typical housing options. However, the most common type of tiny house is constructed similar to an RV - it's a vehicle structure, with electric systems, water tanks and sewage tanks that operate for a while before they need support systems. Generally they are not designed for permanent occupancy. In order to use the structure for full time occupancy it must meet the residential building code and or manufactured housing code standard. However, changing state building codes, such as WAC 51-16-030 Exemptions for indigent housing guidelines, are giving deference to individual communities to choose options to provide housing for indigent persons so long as certain criteria is met. In some jurisdictions tiny homes have been a solution to the homeless and the poverty-stricken population as far as a safe and sanitary alternative. Other jurisdictions have allowed tent cities located on church parking lots to be relocated to public land and owned and operated by a non- profit organization. SVMC CODE: The ability to use the tiny home for permanent occupancy on a traditional residential lot is related to a requirement for a permanent foundation and connections to utilities. Wheels, and sometimes axles, are removed. Tiny homes can be placed in RV Parks while remaining on wheels. Generally, it is required to be placed on a permanent foundation and connect to water, Page 1 of 4 sewer and electric systems. This converts the unit to a stationary unit and makes the utility systems safe for long term use. SVMC allows tiny homes on wheels in a manufactured home park as they are similar to a self-contained recreational vehicle. They are not allowed on a single- family residential lot for longer than 30 days. Currently the SVMC does not address development standards for the placing of tiny homes in regard to lot size, e.g. Although in regard to park model homes for example, they are not allowed on an individual residential lot as they do not meet the standards of a manufactured home due to the fact that they measure less than 24 feet wide and 36 feet long as defined in the SVMC. The existing character of the neighborhood should also be considered. Will they fit in? Tiny House Communities: Tiny house communities or entire neighborhoods of tiny houses are emerging as solutions to affordable housing and lifestyle alternatives. Most tiny house communities constructed so far have been created to address homeless issues or other specific issues. The Olympia-Quixote Village and Fuller Center Village are examples of tiny house communities. Olympia-Quixote Village The 30 cottage village was previously built for homeless adults. All residents pay 30% of their income (minimum $50/month) in rent and sign a lease agreement. There is no option to buy a dwelling in this development. Each 144 square foot house is equipped with a single captain's bed, a table, a sink and a toilet. A community building is on-site that contains a shared kitchen, dining area, living room, showers, laundry and office and meeting space. There is also a community garden in the open space among the houses. Fuller Center Villages There are 23 cottage village contains homes that range in size from 133 square feet (a single bedroom that sleeps two) to 258 square feet (three bedrooms, including a futon in the living room that will sleep eight) The units are available to rent and eventually the tenant may pursue owning the tiny house. The future homeowner may either continue to live in the village or move their home off-site. The complex consists of an outdoor recreation area, greenhouse, fish pond and a community center. There are various tools for siting tiny home developments: 1) A new zoning district or overlay zone for tiny house subdivisions 2) A Planned Unit Development (PUD) - A PUD allows a slight deviation from the development requirements in regard to such standards as lot size and building setbacks, e.g. to encourage the development of a variety of housing types. Lots in a PUD may be sold. 3) A manufactured home park (MHP) MHPs allow houses that are considered recreational vehicles regardless of the length of time it is located on-site. The lot is rented to the home owner. The RV must be self-contained or there is a facility in the park for sanitary services. This would be a suitable location for those houses that cannot be placed on a permanent foundation or not equipped to connect to utilities. 4) A designated area for tiny house villages on church property. This option has been suggested by a local developer. However, this could be accomplished by amending the permitted use matrix. Page 2 of 4 Other examples of tiny house types: Park model homes Park model homes are a temporary, recreational vehicle that is built on a chassis, mounted on wheels, and may be connected to utilities to operate the trailer's fixtures and appliances. Lofts or overhead storage with a maximum ceiling height of five feet are not included in the park model home's square feet. With the park owner's or manager's permission,park trailers may be sited in manufactured home parks if they have the ability to hook up to sewer and water or the park has an existing facility for toilets and showers. Staff has received many inquiries from the public in regard to being able to place park model homes on individual lots. The attraction is that they are smaller in size and have efficient floor plans. Park model homes do not exceed 400 square feet in size. The minimum dimensions are intended to protect the character of the neighborhood by insuring structures are at least consistent with smaller dwelling footprints. Accessory dwelling units (ADUs) ADUs are an affordable housing alternative for seniors, single parents or persons with disabilities who might otherwise have difficulty finding homes within the city that support independent living. These units can either be attached to a dwelling unit or detached, but can only be placed on property where there is an existing residence. An attached ADU could be created within a residence or an addition to a residence. The SVMC criteria require that each ADU must be a minimum of 300 square feet in size and limits the units to a maximum of two bedrooms. The units must be designed to match the appearance of the primary dwelling unit in regard to exterior materials, roof pitch, trim and windows. ADUs- Chapter 19.40.100 in the SVMC describes the criteria for ADUs which are allowed in all of the single-family residential zones (R-1 to R-4). Cottages Cottage housing supports the diversity of housing, increases the variety of housing types for smaller households and provides the opportunity for small, detached single-family dwelling units within existing neighborhoods. Municipal Research Services Center (MRSC) defines cottage housing as, "generally a grouping of small, single family dwelling units clustered around a common area and developed with a coherent plan for the entire site." They are often used as a type of infill development on small sites, within existing developed areas. Advantages of cottage housing include higher densities than typical single-family neighborhoods, with minimal impacts to adjacent residential areas and for some an increased sense of privacy as compared to multi- family living. However, while it does represent a reduction in living and maintenance costs, since maintenance costs are typically shared, it does represent an increase in density which can be controversial. The SVMC does not contain development regulations for the cottages specifically, but the Planned Residential Development regulations could be utilized so long as the final density is not greater than 20% than the underlying zoning district. Other jurisdictions: All of the city codes that have been researched allow for the placement of accessory dwelling units in the residential zones. Park model homes are being placed in manufactured home parks in Spokane and Spokane Valley. New cottages that are placed around open space are becoming Page 3 of 4 popular as they create a sense of community. As far as the tiny house communities, Quixote Village was the only example to be found in the northwest for the homeless. Portland, OR and Seattle, WA are allowing similar types of villages but the dwellings are made of recycled materials. There are no other local Fuller Center projects listed on their website.

The City of Spokane Valley's update is due no later than June 30, 2017. Staff and consultants are moving forward with the development of the Draft Comprehensive Plan Goals and Policies. On March 29th staff presented a handout, which was an initial effort to create the framework for development of the goals and policies. The document reflected the audit of the existing Goals and Policies, themes identified from the 2015 community visioning process, GMA requirements and suggested additions for each element. The Council indicated that all the items noted in the document should be considered in the future goal and policy development. At this time staff will summarize more specifically the focus areas for each draft element of the Comprehensive Plan. This step is intended to provide Council opportunity for input as development of the specific goal and policy language continues. On May 3rd, the consultant team will present draft goal and policy language and discuss alternatives at a City Council and Planning Commission joint workshop. Staff will provide an overview of the Element Focus Areas.
