AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Interview of Applicants for Interim Council Position #7.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 42.12.070; 42.30.110(1)(h)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Councilmember Bill Bates (position #7) resigned his
position effective beginning June 15, 2016. Councilmember Pro Tem Bill Gothmann's temporary
appointment also ended June 15, 2016. The vacancy was advertised on our City's website, as well as in the
Valley News Herald and the Spokesman Review. The deadline to submit an application was 4:00 p.m. July
1, 2016. Thirteen applications were submitted, and copies of those applications were distributed to Council
by the City Clerk via memorandum dated July 1, 2016. At the July 12, 2016, Council meeting, Council
voted on which of the 13 applicants to interview for this interim position. That vote resulted in three
applicants chosen for interview: Michael Munch, Michelle Rasmussen, and David Starr.
BACKGROUND: Pursuant to RCW 42.12.070: "Filling nonpartisan vacancies: (1) Where one position is
vacant, the remaining members of the governing body shall appoint a qualified person to fill the vacant
position. (2) Where two or more positions are vacant and two or more members of the governing body
remain in office, the remaining members of the governing body shall appoint a qualified person to fill one
of the vacant positions, the remaining members of the governing body and the newly appointed person shall
appoint another qualified person to fill another vacant position, and so on until each of the vacant positions
is filled with each of the new appointees participating in each appointment that is made after his or her
appointment.... (4) If a governing body fails to appoint a qualified person to fill a vacancy within ninety
days of the occurrence of the vacancy, the authority of the governing body to fill the vacancy shall cease
and the county legislative authority of the county in which all or the largest geographic portion of the city,
town, or special district is located shall appoint a qualified person to fill the vacancy."
The date to meet the 90 day deadline for Position 7 is September 14, 2016. Once Council makes the
appointment, the newly appointed Councilmember's term would begin immediately and end once the
November 2017 general election results are certified, which is generally about seven to ten days after the
election.
We have informed each applicant that Council prefers each applicant not be present for the previous
applicant's interview. We have asked each applicant to check in with our Human Resources Manager (Suite
107) no later than 5:45 p.m. The Human Resources Manager will escort each applicant to the Council
Chambers as appropriate. We have also informed the applicants that once their interview is over, they may
stay for any subsequent interviews, or should feel free to leave the meeting if desired.
PROCEDURE: The procedure for interviewing for a Council Vacancy is explained in Council's
Governance Manual. Per RCW 42.30.110(1)(h), the interviews shall be conducted during an open Council
meeting. Each interview shall be a maximum of 30 minutes.
• During the interview, each Councilmember may ask each candidate up to three questions.
Follow-up questions are to be counted as one of the three questions.
• Candidates shall be interviewed in alphabetical order of last name.
• Candidates should be prepared to answer any of the following questions, even though every question
might not be asked of each candidate.
• Council has the option of asking questions not included in this list of potential questions. Council has
the option of asking follow-up questions up to a total of three questions per candidate. Follow-up
questions are included as part of and not in addition to, the three maximum questions.
• Potential Council Applicant Interview Questions:
1. What is a Councilmember's primary responsibility to the citizens of Spokane Valley?
2. What are the most important issues our City faces today?
3. Please explain your view of the most difficult aspect of being a Councilmember.
4. What do you think is the biggest challenge facing the City Council?
5. What are the three highest priorities the City needs to address and how do you propose to address
these issues?
6. As a Councilmember, one of the most challenging issues we face is balancing the City budget.
Keeping in mind that the majority of our revenue is from sales tax and property tax, how would
you propose to strike a balance between revenues and expenses; and at what point, if at all, would
you support additional revenues to maintain service levels?
7. Discuss your ideas on pavement preservation including solutions for long-term sustainability of
our roads.
8. How can we determine what the citizens want for the future of Spokane Valley?
9. What do you envision the City of Spokane Valley will be like ten and twenty years from now?
10. All total, Councilmembers serve on approximately 20 different boards, committees, councils and
task forces. Does your life style allow you to serve on outside committees and share these
responsibilities? It could mean up to 10 hours per month in addition to your Council duties.
11. Do you plan to run and/or actively campaign for the November 2017 election?
12. Have you attended [Spokane Valley] City Council meetings in the past?
13. What did you discover from attending Council meetings?
14. Why do you want to be on the City Council?
15. Please explain your familiarity with and understanding of our City's form of government,
including the difference between Council and staff responsibilities.
16. What do you hope to accomplish as a Councilmember and what do you offer the City?
17. If the majority of the Council took a position that you were against, how would you handle your
response to the public and/or media?
18. As a Councilmember, what new or different perspective would you bring to the City Council?
19. Are you aware and knowledgeable about the Open Public Meeting Act?
20. Are you aware and knowledgeable about the Public Record Act?

( have always been a self-starter. My various jobs through the years have taught me the importance of
communication, l have learned through the years how to motivate people who work under me to
perform their jobs to the best of their ability; Working 20 years in all aspects of the construction
industry,' has taught me the importance of laying a good foundation, one of the most crucial steps in
anything. 1 enjoy outdoor activities and the shooting sports. I enjoy reading, with an emphasis on the
founding of our country. I am a family man and believe in giving the youth of this nation a better life
than was handed to me.

Delegate to Republican State Convention twice Spokane County 2008/Stevens County 2012
12. Why are you interested in serving in this interim position as a Spokane Valley City Councilmember?
i am a firm believer in representative governance. In order for it to work,' people from all walks of life
must be willing to serve, to achieve a balanced prospective of society. While I consider myself a
conservative, I am by no means a simple "yes man" with the conservative party. I am a voracious reader,
and a committed person, always doing the best 1 am able to. I am willing to work long hours and educate
myself on any issues that I lack knowledge in, prior to my having to make a decision on it. I have reached
a point in my life with my children reaching their teen years that I have more time to give back to
society. I have been interested in the political process since reaching adulthood and have actively
worked on many campaigns and initiatives. I have researched and educated myself and those around
me for years, on what this country was founded on. I would welcome the opportunity to serve my
community firsthand, and help institute meaningful change.
Once submitted, applications become the property of the City of Spokane Valley and are subject to
public disclosure.
13. What are the three highest priorities you believe the City needs to address? How would you
propose to address these issues?
First off land use/property rights, I believe the City of Spokane Valley is moving in the right direction
with these issues by allowing more mixed use, than in the past. 1 also know our hands are somewhat
tied with the growth management act. There are still many things available to us to that will help
business owners and property owners get back to having more of their rights returned. Stevens County
land use is one of the best in the state. While theirs is a rural county not a metropolitan area a lot can be
gleaned from their plan and used to reformat Spokane Valley's plan. While we can't do much to combat
the anti -business climate the state has fostered, we can continue to work within the confines to be the
easiest and unrestricted city in the state for living and doing business in.
Secondly, continuing to get government out of the way of business and residents. I believe the private
sector is more capable, efficient, and cost effective than any government agency. As a municipality we
have the power to allocate our community resources. Being a good steward of our community to me
means using those resources as wisely as possible, with more care than is practiced with our own. To
this end I would look into every department we have control over and see what could be done to
contract out as much of that work as possible while still maintaining oversight. Since being a good
steward means limiting your exposure to risk as much as possible, the way to accomplish this is to look
across the country at what is being accomplished by contract services for similar cities. Talking with
other cities to see what has worked and what doesn't. Police, roads/bridges, and snow removal are all
really large budget issues, however, a majority of the time more money can be saved by revamping
many smaller items, than one or two large ones.
Finally, I believe working within the city government to build a better disaster preparedness plan is vital.
Last fall's windstorm should have been viewed as a wakeup`call to this region. The progress that has
been made since then is a great start. However most all municipalities focus on continuity of
government. While this is important, I feel the City Council is elected to serve the people not the
government. The pamphlet that was prepared is a good beginning. I would like to work with the various
governmental agencies to continue to improve services for a community that is suffering. In addition to
pamphlets l would increase training and coordination among the agencies tasked with disaster
response, including the community in the process for input, ideas, training, and most importantly
volunteering. While sponsoring training in the short term may cost money up front, it will save much
more down the road. When less people are dependent on the government and services they are waiting
to be provided with.
14. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Spokane Valley City Council? YES [ X 1 NO [
if yes, give an estimate of how many meetings you have attended in the past twelve months: 3 have
only physically attended a couple, since the majority of the time I am out of town. I do watch most of
the podcasts.
15. Appointment to the City Council will require your attendance at numerous regularly scheduled and
special meetings, which generally occur on Tuesday evenings. Councilmembers are also expected to
represent the City of Spokane Valley by serving on various regional commissions, committees and
boards. Are you able to commit your time and energy to participate fully as a member of the Spokane
Valley City Council. YES [ X ] NO [ ]

Spokane Valley City Council,
Thank you for the opportunity to put my name forth for consideration. Being a student of history it
always intrigued me to study the form of government our Republic offers. Since we are a representative
Republic, it made me realize that it only works if the members of it step forward at times to do their
civic duty.
I entered the work force at a young age and have spent the majority of that time working long hours in
construction. I have always rose to the top position in my field and started my own construction
company in 2006. Owning a business that has both good and bad years, I have learned to live within my
means, and to adapt to changes in the market place.
I believe local government is the cornerstone of our society. If it is used wisely the population flourishes.
If we are not mindful masters of it, we lose our liberties. With this in mind I would strive to find the best
balance between government intervention and freedom for individuals.
I am in the process of starting a new path in my life. I have been forced to spend the majority of my time
working out of town on business for the last several years. In the next couple months that will be coming
to an end and I will no longer be out of town. This will allow me to become engaged at the local level
again. Along with my family starting to reach maturity I now feel that I have the time necessary to
devote to becoming actively involved, and serving on the city council.
In all things in my life I have strived for excellence. If chosen to serve, I will work diligently to serve the
community to the best of my ability.
Thank you again for the opportunity to serve. Thank you also for your willingness to serve our
community.
Respectfully,
Mike Munch

12. Why are you interested in serving in this interim position as a Spokane Valley City Councilmember?
I have lived in Spokane Valley for 18 years and worked for the City nearly seven years. I have a vested
interest in the economic growth, financial state and the safety of my community. I believe
as a citizen I have an obligation to support the stability and growth of the City, not only for my
benefit, but for the generations to come. Decision making must support businesses and families.
As a Councilmember, I would have the opportunity to provide support in securing the positive work of
prior Councils while assisting in the efforts for future change; leaving a solid inheritance for others.
Once submitted, applications become the property of the City of Spokane Valley and are subject to public disclosure.
13. What are the three highest priorities you believe the City needs to address? How would you propose to address
these issues?
Continued economic development efforts; property crimes; and, funding to complete the bridging
projects. I have put all three of these items together but the last two have a direct impact on the
efforts and finances put forth on the first one; economic development. First, property crimes: the
monthly County police report in the Council packets provides a regional report indicating that SV
has had, and continues to have, the highest amount of property crimes in our region. Although we
attempted to mitigate the problem by the power shift, lack of police staff has never allowed this shift to
become activated. But, publically, we did not know that until the Council workshop. Performance
measures, with repercussions for non-performance and rewards for quality performance, need
to be built into policing efforts. Second, the funding efforts, through state and federal avenues as well as
continued frugal budgeting, must continue in order to complete the Bridging of the Valley; all locations.
The increase in RR traffic has had a direct impact on accessiblity and economic flow around our City,
as well as the noise, and will impact future growth and development. Third, the first two should be the top
priorities as the City can expend as much time and money into ED but crimes and infrastructure will
stymie any positive, lasting growth for our City.
14. Have you ever attended a meeting of the Spokane Valley City Council? YES [X ] NO [ ]
If yes, give an estimate of how many meetings you have attended in the past twelve months: 12
15. Appointment to the City Council will require your attendance at numerous regularly scheduled and special
