Section 2. Grant of Franchise. The City of Spokane Valley, a Washington municipal
corporation (hereinafter the "City"), hereby grants unto Inland Power & Light (hereinafter "Grantee"), a
franchise for a period of 25 years, beginning on the effective date of this Ordinance, to install, construct,
operate,maintain,replace,upgrade and use all necessary equipment and facilities to place electric facilities
in,under,on, across,over,through, along or below the public rights-of-way located in the City of Spokane
Valley,and other public places as agreed to by the parties in writing(which may be accomplished by written
agreement of the City Manager and Grantee's Chief Operations Officer as approved under City permits
issued pursuant to this franchise (hereinafter the "franchise"). The parties may renew this franchise for an
additional 25 years by mutual written agreement,which may be exercised at any time within the final year
of the initial franchise term.
Section 3. Fee. No right-of-way use fee is imposed for the term of this franchise. Any such
right-of-way use or franchise fee that may be imposed by subsequent ordinance would apply to any
subsequent franchise,if any,between the parties; provided,however,that this provision shall not preclude

Section 4. Recovery of Costs. Grantee shall reimburse the City for all costs of one publication
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 2 of 13
DRAFT
of this franchise in a local newspaper, and required legal notices prior to any public hearing regarding this
franchise, contemporaneous with its acceptance of this franchise. Grantee shall be subject to all permit and
inspection fees associated with activities undertaken through the authority granted in this franchise or under
City Code.
Section 5. Non-Exclusivity. This franchise is granted upon the express condition that it shall
not in any manner prevent the City from granting other or further franchises or permits in any rights-of-
way that do not materially interfere with Grantee's rights under this franchise. This and other franchises
shall, in no way, prevent or prohibit the City from using any of its rights-of-way or affect its jurisdiction
over them or any part of them. City may not,however, award an electric franchise to another party under
more favorable or less onerous terms than those of this franchise without this franchise being amended to
reflect such more favorable or less onerous terms.
Section 6. Non-Interference with Existing Facilities. Grantee shall have the discretion to
determine the placement of its Facilities as may be necessary to provide safe and reliable electric service
within the Franchise Area, subject to the following non-interference requirements. The City shall have
prior and superior right to the use of its rights-of-way and public properties for installation and maintenance
of its facilities and other governmental purposes. In the event the City,its agents or its contractors,perform
grading, excavating, or other necessary road work contiguous to Grantee's facilities, the City shall give
Grantee not less than 10 business days' notice of said work. The City hereby retains full power to make all
changes,relocations,repairs,maintenance,establishments,improvements,dedications or vacation of same
as the City may deem fit, including the dedication, establishment, maintenance, and improvement of all
new rights-of-way,streets,avenues,thoroughfares and other public properties of every type and description.
Any and all such removal or replacement shall be at the sole expense of the City.
The owners of all utilities, public or private, installed in or on such public properties prior to the
installation of the facilities of the Grantee, shall have preference as to the positioning and location of such
utilities so installed with respect to the Grantee. Such preference shall continue in the event of the necessity
of relocating or changing the grade of any such public properties.
Grantee's facilities shall be constructed and maintained in such manner as not to interfere with any
public use,or with any other wires,conduits or other facilities that may have been laid in the rights-of-way
by or under the City's authority. If the work done under this franchise damages or interferes in any way
with the public use or other facilities,the Grantee shall wholly and at its own expense make such provisions
necessary to eliminate the interference or damage to the satisfaction of the Public Works Director.
Section 7. Construction Standards. All work authorized and required hereunder shall comply
with all generally applicable City Codes and regulations. Grantee shall also comply with all applicable federal
and state regulations,laws and practices. Grantee is responsible for the supervision, condition, and quality
of the work done,whether it is by itself or by contractors,assigns or agencies. Application of said federal,
state, and City Codes and regulations shall be for the purposes of fulfilling the City's public trustee role in
administering the primary use and purpose of public properties, and not for relieving the Grantee of any
duty,obligation,or responsibility for the competent design,construction,maintenance, and operation of its
facilities.
If Grantee shall at any time be required, or plan, to excavate trenches in any area covered by this
franchise,the Grantee shall afford the City an opportunity to permit other franchisees and utilities to share
such excavated trenches, provided that: (1) such joint use shall not unreasonably delay the work of the
Grantee; and (2) such joint use shall not adversely affect Grantee's facilities or safety thereof. Joint users
will be required to contribute to the costs of excavation and filling on a pro-rata basis.

DRAFT
Section 8. Protection of Monuments. Grantee shall comply with applicable state laws relating
to protection of monuments.
Section 9. Tree Trimming. All such pruning,trimming and removal shall be done by Grantee
or its authorized contractors at the Grantee's sole cost and expense. State law requires electric utilities to
comply with the National Electric Safety Code, including the guidance for the trimming or removal of
vegetation interfering or potentially interfering with energized power lines. The right of Grantee to
maintain its facilities and appurtenances under this franchise shall accordingly include the right, as
exercised in Grantee's professional discretion, to utilize an integrated vegetation management program to
minimize the likelihood that vegetation encroaching (either above or below the ground) on Grantee's
facilities can lead to power outages and other threats to public safety and welfare. Grantee or its agents
may inhibit the growth of,prune,or remove any trees and vegetation which overhangs or encroaches upon
its electric transmission and distribution corridors within the franchise area,whether such trees or vegetation
originate within or outside of the rights-of-way. Grantee shall consult with the City Parks Department prior
to removing any tree in excess of six inch diameter at breast height. The parties agree to develop a pilot
program under separate agreement that promotes the replacement of inappropriate vegetation that interferes
with Grantee's facilities.
Section 10. Emergency Response. The Grantee shall, within 30 days of the execution of this
franchise, designate one or more responsible people and an emergency contact, along with the procedures
to be followed when responding to an emergency. After being notified of an emergency, Grantee shall
cooperate with the City to respond in a timely manner with action to aid in the protection the health and
safety of the public.
In the event the Grantee refuses to promptly take the directed action or fails to fully comply with
such direction,or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action to prevent imminent injury
or damages to persons or property, the City may take such actions as it believes are necessary to protect
persons or property and the Grantee shall be responsible to reimburse the City for its costs and any expenses.
Section 11. One-Call System. Pursuant to RCW 19.122,Grantee is responsible for becoming
familiar with, and understanding,the provisions of Washington's One-Call statutes. Grantee shall comply
with the terms and conditions set forth in the One-Call statutes.
Section 12. Safety. All of Grantee's facilities in the rights-of-way shall be constructed and
maintained in a safe and operational condition. Grantee shall follow all safety codes and other applicable
regulations in the installation,operation, and maintenance of the facilities.
Section 13. Temporary Movement of Grantee's Facilities for Others. Whenever any third party
shall have obtained permission from the City to use any right—of-way for the purpose of moving any
building or other oversized structure, Grantee, upon at least 14 days' written notice from the City, shall
move,at the expense of the third party desiring to move the building or structure,any of Grantee's facilities
that may obstruct the movement thereof; provided, that the path for moving such building or structure is
the path of least interference to Grantee's facilities,as mutually agreed upon by Grantee and the City. Upon
good cause shown by Grantee, the City may provide more than 14 days' notice to Grantee to move its
facilities.
Section 14. Acquiring New Facilities. Upon Grantee's acquisition of any new facilities in the
rights-of-way, or upon Grantee's notice of any addition or annexation to the City of any area in which
Grantee retains any such facilities in the rights-of-way, the Grantee shall submit to the City a written
statement with an electronic GIS map describing all facilities involved,whether authorized by franchise or
any other form of prior right, and specifying the location of all such facilities. Such facilities shall
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 4 of 13
DRAFT
immediately be subject to the terms of this franchise.
Section 15. Dangerous Conditions - Authority of City to Abate. Whenever Grantee's
excavation, installation, construction, repair, maintenance, or relocation of facilities authorized by this
franchise has caused or contributed to a condition that substantially impairs the lateral support of the
adjoining right-of-way, road, or other public place, or endangers the public, adjoining public or private
property or street utilities, the City may direct Grantee, at Grantee's sole expense, to take all necessary
actions to protect the public and property. The City may require that such action be completed within a
prescribed time.
In the event that Grantee fails or refuses to promptly take the actions directed by the City, or fails
to fully comply with such directions,or if emergency conditions exist which require immediate action,the
City may enter upon the property and take such actions as are necessary to protect the public, adjacent
public or private property,or street utilities,or to maintain the lateral support thereof, and all other actions
deemed by the City to be necessary to preserve the public safety and welfare; and Grantee shall be liable to
the City for all costs and expenses thereof to the extent caused by Grantee. In the event the City were to
undertake any actions contemplated by this Section 15,it would only hire third-party contractors previously
approved by Grantee as having the experience and technical knowledge to safely perform such repairs for
public safety purposes.
Section 16. Hazardous Substances. Grantee shall comply with all applicable federal,state and
local laws, statutes,regulations and orders concerning hazardous substances relating to Grantee's facilities
in the rights—of-way. Grantee agrees to indemnify the City against any claims,costs,and expenses,of any
kind, whether direct or indirect, incurred by the City arising out of the release or threat of release of
hazardous substances caused by Grantee's ownership or operation of its facilities within the City's rights-
of-way.
Section 17. Environmental. Grantee shall comply with all environmental protection laws,
rules,recommendations,and regulations of the United States and the State of Washington,and their various
subdivisions and agencies as they presently exist or may hereafter be enacted, promulgated, or amended,
and shall indemnify and hold the City harmless from any and all damages arising, or which may arise, or
be caused by, or result from the failure of Grantee fully to comply with any such laws, rules,
recommendations, or regulations, whether or not Grantee's acts or activities were intentional or
unintentional. Grantee shall further indemnify the City against all losses, costs, and expenses (including
legal expenses)which the City may incur as a result of the requirement of any government or governmental
subdivision or agency to clean and/or remove any pollution caused or permitted by Grantee,whether said
requirement is during the term of the franchise or subsequent to its termination.
Section 18. Relocation of Facilities. Grantee agrees and covenants, at its sole cost and
expense, to protect, support, temporarily disconnect, relocate, remove, or convert from overhead to
underground any of its facilities when so required by the City,provided that Grantee shall in all such cases
have the privilege to temporarily bypass,in the authorized portion of the same street upon approval by the
City, any section of its facilities required to be temporarily disconnected or removed. The Parties agree
that it may be appropriate at a later date to re-open this Agreement for the purpose of addressing
undergrounding,including how it may be paid for. In order to invoke this provision,one party shall notify
the other party at least 30 days prior to requesting a meeting on this topic.
If the City determines that the project necessitates the relocation of Grantee's then-existing
facilities,the City shall:
a) At least 60 days prior to the commencement of such improvement project,provide Grantee
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 5 of 13
DRAFT
with written notice requiring such relocation; and
b) Provide Grantee with copies of the plans and specifications for such improvement project.
c) After receipt of such notice and such plans and specifications, Grantee shall complete
relocation of its facilities at no charge or expense to the City so as to accommodate the improvement
project.
Grantee may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its facilities, submit to the
City written alternatives to such relocation. The City shall evaluate such alternatives and advise Grantee in
writing if one or more of the alternatives are suitable to accommodate the work which would otherwise
necessitate relocation of the facilities. If so requested by the City, Grantee shall submit additional
information to assist the City in making such evaluation. The City shall give each alternative proposed by
Grantee full and fair consideration. In the event the City ultimately determines that there is no other
reasonable alternative,Grantee shall relocate its facilities as otherwise provided in this section.In the event
the proposed relocation results in Inland Power& Light being required to relocate outside of the right of
way, City agrees to assist Inland Power & Light in attempting to procure an easement or other rights.
Additionally,if the City requires the subsequent relocation of any of Grantee's Facilities within five years
from the date of relocation of such Facilities or installation of new Facilities,the City shall share one-half
of the cost of such subsequent relocation.
The provisions of this section shall in no manner preclude or restrict Grantee from making any
arrangements it may deem appropriate when responding to a request for relocation of its facilities by any
person or entity other than the City,where the facilities to be constructed by said person or entity are not or
will not become City owned, operated or maintained facilities, provided that such arrangements do not
unduly delay a City construction project.
If the City or a contractor for the City is delayed at any time in the progress of the work by an act
or neglect of the Grantee or those acting for or on behalf of Grantee,then Grantee shall indemnify,defend
and hold the City, its officers, officials, employees and volunteers harmless from any and all claims,
injuries,damages,losses or suits including attorneys' fees to the extent arising out of or in connection with
such delays,except for delays and damages caused by the City. This provision may not be waived by the
parties except in writing.
Section 19. Abandonment of Grantee's Facilities. No facility constructed or owned by Grantee
may be abandoned without the express written consent of the City,which consent shall not be unreasonably
withheld.
The City has discretion and authority to direct Grantee to remove a facility abandoned by Grantee
(whether or not the entity had permission to abandon the facility)and restore the rights-of-way to their pre-
removal condition when:
(a) a City project involves digging that will encounter the abandoned facility and the location of
the abandoned facility will impedes the progress of such project;
(b)the abandoned facility poses a hazard to the health, safety,or welfare of the public; or
(c)the facilities are owned by Grantee and have not been in continuous use for a 24 month period.
Grantee may delay removal of the abandoned facility until such time as the City commences a
construction project in the rights-of-way unless(b)above applies. When(b)applies,Grantee shall remove
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 6 of 13
DRAFT
the abandoned facility from the rights-of-way as soon as weather conditions allow,unless the City expressly
allows otherwise in writing.
The expense of the removal, and restoration of improvements in the rights-of-way that were
damaged by the facility or by the removal process,shall be the sole responsibility of the Grantee. If Grantee
fails to remove the abandoned facilities in accordance with the above, then the City may incur costs to
remove the abandoned facilities and restore the rights-of-way, and is entitled to reimbursement from
Grantee for such costs,including reasonable attorney's fees and costs.
Section 20. Maps and Records Required. Upon request, Grantee shall provide the City, at no
cost to the City:
1. An electronic GIS route map that depicts the general location of the Grantee's facilities placed in
the rights-of-way. The route map shall identify facilities as aerial or underground and is not required to depict
service lines to individual subscribers and is not survey grade. Inland Power& Light does not warrant the
accuracy of such facility location information provided and,to the extent the location of facilities are shown,
such facilities may be shown in their approximate location.
2. In connection with the construction of any City project, Grantee shall provide to the City,upon
the City's reasonable request,copies of available drawings in use by Grantee showing the location of such
facilities. Grantee shall field locate its facilities in order to facilitate design and planning of City
improvement projects.
3. Upon written request of the City, Grantee shall provide the City with the most recent update
available of any plan of potential improvements to its facilities within the franchise area;provided,however,
any such plan so submitted shall be deemed confidential and for informational purposes only,and shall not
obligate Grantee to undertake any specific improvements within the franchise area.
4. In addition to the requirements of subsection 1 of this section,the parties agree to periodically
share GIS files upon written request, provided Grantee's GIS files are to be used solely by the City for
governmental purposes. Any files provided to Grantee shall be restricted to information required for
Grantee's engineering needs for construction or maintenance of facilities that are the subject of this
franchise. Grantee and the City are prohibited from selling any GIS information obtained under this
franchise to any third parties.
5. Public Disclosure Act. Grantee acknowledges that information submitted to the City may be
subject to inspection and copying under the Washington Public Disclosure Act codified in RCW 42.56.
Grantee shall mark as "PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL" each page or portion thereof of any
documentation/information which it submits to the City and which it believes is exempt from public
inspection or copying. The City agrees to timely provide the Grantee with a copy of any public disclosure
request to inspect or copy documentation/information which the Grantee has provided to the City and
marked as "PROPRIETARY/CONFIDENTIAL" prior to allowing any inspection and/or copying as well
as provide the Grantee with a time frame, consistent with RCW 42.56.520, to provide the City with its
written basis for non-disclosure of the requested documentation/information. In the event the City disagrees
with the Grantee's basis for non-disclosure, the City agrees to withhold release of the requested
documentation/information in dispute for a reasonable amount of time to allow Grantee an opportunity to
file a legal action under RCW 42.56.540.
Section 21. Limitation on Future Work. In the event that the City constructs a new street or
reconstructs an existing street,the Grantee shall not be permitted to excavate such street except as set forth
in the City's then-adopted regulations relating to street cuts and excavations. The City is a party to the
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 7 of 13
DRAFT
Inland Northwest Regional Pavement Cut Policy,and shall maintain a copy of the currently adopted Policy
on its website or similar broad means of dissemination.
Section 22. Reservation of Rights by City. The City reserves the right to refuse any request
for a permit to extend facilities. Any such refusal shall be supported by a written statement from the Public
Works Director that extending the facilities, as proposed,would materially interfere with the public health,
safety or welfare.
Section 23. Remedies to Enforce Compliance. In addition to any other remedy provided
herein, the City reserves the right to pursue any remedy to compel or force Grantee and/or its successors
and assigns to comply with the terms hereof, and the pursuit of any right or remedy by the City shall not
prevent the City from thereafter declaring a forfeiture or revocation for breach of the conditions herein.
Section 24. City Ordinances and Regulations. Nothing herein shall be deemed to direct or
restrict the City's ability to adopt and enforce all necessary and appropriate ordinances regulating the
performance of the conditions of this franchise, including any reasonable ordinances made in the exercise
of its police powers in the interest of public safety and for the welfare of the public.The City shall have the
authority at all times to control by appropriate regulations the location, elevation, and manner of
construction and maintenance of any facilities by Grantee, and Grantee shall promptly conform with all
such regulations,unless compliance would cause Grantee to violate other requirements of law or the tariff.
In the event of a conflict between the Municipal Code and this franchise, the Municipal Code shall
control.
Section 25. Vacation. The City may vacate any City road,right-of-way or other City property
which is subject to rights granted by this franchise in accordance with state and local law. The City shall
timely notify Inland Power & Light of any proposed street vacations so that Inland Power & Light may
request the inclusion of an appropriate easement in the area to be vacated.
Section 26. Indemnification.
1. Grantee hereby covenants not to bring suit and agrees to indemnify, defend and hold
harmless the City, its officers, employees, agents and representatives from any and all claims, costs,
judgments,awards or liability to any person arising from injury,sickness or death of any person or damage
to property of any nature whatsoever relating to or arising out of this franchise agreement;except for injuries
and damages caused solely by the negligence of the City. This includes but is not limited to injury:
a) For which the negligent acts or omissions of Grantee,its agents, servants,officers
or employees in performing the activities authorized by a franchise are a proximate cause;
b) By virtue of the City permitting grantee's use of the City's rights-of-ways or other
public property;
c) Arising as a result of the negligent acts or omissions of Grantee, its agents,
servants, officers or employees in barricading, instituting trench safety systems or
providing other adequate warnings of any excavation, construction or work upon the
facility, in any right-of-way, or other public place in performance of work or services
permitted under a franchise.
2. Grantee's indemnification obligations pursuant to subsection 1 of this section shall include
assuming liability for actions brought by Grantee's own employees and the employees of Grantee's agents,
Ordinance 16-013 Granting Electrical Franchise to Inland Power&Light Page 8 of 13
DRAFT
representatives,contractors and subcontractors even though grantee might be immune under RCW Title 51
from direct suit brought by such an employee. It is expressly agreed and understood that this assumption
of potential liability for actions brought by the aforementioned employees is limited solely to claims against
the City arising by virtue of Grantee's exercise of the rights set forth in a franchise. The obligations of
Grantee under this subsection have been mutually negotiated by the parties,and Grantee acknowledges that
the City would not enter into a franchise without Grantee's waiver. To the extent required to provide this
indemnification and this indemnification only,Grantee waives its immunity under RCW Title 51.
3. The City shall indemnify and hold harmless Grantee and its officers,volunteers, agents,
and employees,from any and all claims, actions, suits,liability,loss,costs,expenses, and damages of any
nature whatsoever,by any reason of or arising out of any negligent act or omission of the City,its
officers, agents and employees,relating to or arising out of the performance of this franchise.
4. If the comparative negligence of the parties and their officers, volunteers, agents, and
employees is a cause of such damage or injury,the liability,loss,cost,or expense shall be shared between
the Parties in proportion to their relative degree of negligence and the right of indemnity shall apply to such
proportion.
5. Inspection or acceptance by the City of any work performed by Grantee at the time of
completion of construction shall not be grounds for avoidance of any of these covenants of
indemnification. Provided,that Grantee has been given prompt written notice by the City of any such claim,
said indemnification obligations shall extend to claims which are not reduced to a suit and any claims which
may be compromised prior to the culmination of any litigation or the institution of any litigation. The City
has the right to defend or participate in the defense of any such claim.
6. In the event any matter(for which the City intends to assert its rights under this Section)is
presented to or filed with the City, the City shall promptly notify Grantee thereof and Grantee shall have
the right, at its sole cost and expense, to settle and compromise such matter as it pertains to Grantee's
responsibility under this Section 26. In the event any suit or action is commenced against the City based
upon any such matter,the City shall likewise promptly notify Grantee thereof, and Grantee shall have the
right, at its sole cost and expense, to settle and compromise such suit or action, or defend the same at its
sole cost and expense,by attorneys of its own election, as it pertains to Grantee's responsibility under this
Section 26. Failure of the City to give notice as required herein shall not be a defense except and to the
extent that Grantee demonstrates actual prejudice therefrom.
7. In the event that Grantee refuses the tender of defense in any suit or any claim, said tender
having been made pursuant to this section, and said refusal is subsequently determined by a court having
jurisdiction(or such other tribunal that the parties shall agree to decide the matter),to have been a wrongful
refusal on the part of Grantee, then Grantee shall pay all of the City's costs for defense of the action,
including all reasonable expert witness fees, reasonable attorneys' fees, the reasonable costs of the City,
and reasonable attorneys' fees of recovering under this subsection.

Overview
Background
Summary of the Proposed Ordinance
• Amendment of SVMC 7.05.040
• Adoption of SVMC 7.45.010-070
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 2
Background
Accumulated snow and ice on public sidewalks can:
• Impede pedestrian travel and inhibit the use of assistive mobility devices
on public sidewalks
• Create hazardous conditions increasing the likelihood that pedestrians will
suffer significant injury or bodily harm, and
• Restrict public access to local businesses and other services; potentially
affecting their profitability.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 3
Background
Treating accumulated snow and ice as a nuisance has not been
effective. Several issues include:
• Firm deadlines for removal were not established. Rather snow and ice must
be removed "within a reasonable time."
• Individuals are given 3o days to self-abate. During that time snow and ice
may continue to accumulate or melt. In either instance the City is severely
limited in its ability to address the issue quickly and effectively.
• Also, the $500 penalty assessed for a nuisance violation is not proportionate
to the violation at issue.

Summaryof the Proed
Ordinance
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 5
Amendment of 7 . 05 . 040 ( C )
If these new code provisions are adopted failure to
remove accumulations of snow and ice from public
sidewalks will be enforced as a civil infraction rather
than a nuisance.
The amendment would remove a portion of the
existing language in 7.05.040(C) so that failure to
remove snow and ice from public sidewalks would no
longer constitute a nuisance.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney
Adoption of SVMC 7 . 45 . 010-070
The chapter is intended to regulate accumulations of snow
and ice on public sidewalks and to address the public safety
and economic issues that may stem from these conditions.
(SVMC 7.45.010 - Purpose and Authority). The City has the
authority to adopt these provisions under RCW 35A.ii.o2o
(powers vested in legislative bodies of non-charter and charter
code cities).
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 7
SVMC 7 . 45 . 020 - Definitions
• Natural and Artificial Sources of Snow and Ice
• In order to avoid ambiguity and clearly establish that both
snow and ice must be removed, the chapter would apply
equally to snow and ice that accumulates naturally and
artificially.
• Therefore, there is no distinction between snow and ice
deposited by plowing operations or that deposited by a storm.
• Simply put, if snow or ice is on the sidewalk it must be
removed regardless of how it got there.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 8
SVMC 7 . 45 . 020 Continued . . .
Tier I and Tier II Snow Removal Areas:
• The City would be divided into two classes of removal
areas for enforcement purposes.
• Tier I : Includes properties along Safe Routes to School, and
commercial areas.
▪ Tier II: encompasses all residential areas.
• These are illustrated in the Attachment A - Sidewalk
Snow Removal Map. (Next Slide) .

SVMC 7 .45 . 030 — Duty to Remove Snow and Ice
• Owners or occupants of property within a removal area
would be responsible for the removal of any
accumulated snow and ice from the public sidewalks
abutting the property.
• Removal areas classified as Tier I will be enforced prior
to those classified as Tier II. This ensures that
enforcement is initially concentrated in high traffic areas
where public safety is most likely to be affected.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney ii
SVMC 7 . 45 . 030 Continued . . .
Deadlines for snow removal would also be established. Time would
begin to run when the event causing snow and ice to accumulate ends.
• Day deposits = 24 hours.
• Night deposits = by 9 P.M the next evening.
Would allow individuals to go to work and return home with a reasonable amount
of time to remove the snow and ice.
The deadlines would also correct many of the issues that arose in
enforcing the problem as a nuisance.
• They would allow for predictable and consistent enforcement in
establishing a firm timetable for removal; and
• They would allow the City to address snow removal issues quickly
within days as opposed to weeks.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney 12
SVMC 7 . 45 . 040 — Amnesty Periods
The City Manager may announce amnesty periods
that suspend enforcement for a designated period of
time. This would allow the City to be flexible and
respond to rare weather events that deposit large
quantities of snow and/or severely inhibit the public's
ability to remove snow and ice from the sidewalks
within the required period of time.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney
=11
SVMC 7 . 45 . 040 Continued . . .
The announcement of an amnesty period would also
be required to include a public notice detailing why
the amnesty period is needed, and the date and time it
will end.
The City Manager may also extend the period by
issuing another announcement and public notice.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney
SVMC 7 . 45 . 050 — Improper Remova
In removing snow and ice (from sidewalks, driveways,
and parking lots), care should be exercised so it is not
removed to an area that obstructs pedestrian or
vehicular traffic.
Improper removal that obstructs pedestrian or
vehicular traffic is a misdemeanor pursuant to SVMC
8.25.o3o(C) and RCW 9A.84.o3o(C) .
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney
SVMC 7 . 45 . 060 - Penalties
The first and second violations of the chapter within a 12
month period are classified as class 4 civil infractions ($25
base penalty + mandatory court costs 105% of the penalty =
$51.25 total) .
The third, and any additional violations occurring within a
twelve month period, are classified as class 3 civil
infractions ($5o base penalty + mandatory court costs 105%
of the penalty = $102.50 total) .
The new penalties are more proportional to the severity of
the violation than the currently adopted nuisance
provisions.
City of Spokane Valley- Office of the City Attorney
SVMC 7 . 45 . 070 — Defense for Violation
An individual would have a defense for a violation if:
• Their property is a residence within a residentially or
commercially zoned area;
• They are a senior citizen or possess a diagnosable physical
disability that prevents them from removing snow; and
• They can provide documentation that shows they made a
reasonable effort to acquire snow removal services but were
unsuccessful.

SVMC 7 . 45 . 070 caiifrntiga . .
The defense allows the City to accommodate those in the
community that have difficulty removing snow and ice from
the sidewalk.
However, the requirement that the individual show
attempts were made to acquire removal services ensures
that all in the community are held responsible and must
make some effort to clear the sidewalks.
Businesses may not raise the defense as the adjacent
sidewalks are often heavily trafficked and must remain free
from snow and ice.

WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley previously adopted several provisions relating to the use
and obstruction of sidewalks in the City, which were dispersed within the Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC); and
WHEREAS, the accumulation of snow and ice on public sidewalks obstructs pedestrian traffic
and creates an impediment to commercial activity. Allowing snow and ice to accumulate increases the
likelihood that pedestrians will suffer injury while traveling on a public sidewalk. Additionally, the
obstruction may force pedestrians off public sidewalks and into the path of motorized traffic in their
attempts to find a safer route of travel. Finally, accumulations of snow and ice pose a significant hazard
to school-aged children who require safe use of the public sidewalks to travel to and from school on a
daily basis; and
WHEREAS, the City has determined that it is appropriate to protect the life, health, and safety of
its citizens to adopt additional regulations regarding the removal of snow and ice from sidewalks. Such
regulations are within the police power granted to cities by Article XI, Section 11 of the Washington state
Constitution and those vested in legislative bodies of noncharter code cities by RCW 35A.11.020; and
WHEREAS, the City desires to amend 7.05.040(C)(3) to remove (C)(3) concerning
accumulations of snow and ice on public sidewalks as a nuisance since a violation will now be classified
as an infraction.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Washington ordains as
follows:
Section 1. Amendment. Spokane Valley Municipal Code 7.05.040 is hereby amended as follows:
7.05.040 Nuisances prohibited

public nuisances within the City, including any public rights-of-way abutting a person, firm, or
entity's property. Prohibited public nuisances include,but are not limited to:
C. Sidewalks.
1.Any protrusion, awning,or overhang that inhibits or obstructs use of a public walkway or
sidewalk.
2.Any object, construction, or damage that inhibits or obstructs the surface use of a public
walkway or sidewalk.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Tourism Enhancement Study
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: In 2015, the City embarked on a study to improve retail activities to assess
this sector of our economy. This study, conducted by Community Attributes Inc. (CAI), indicated
that tourism related spending is underperforming compared to other retail sectors.
In response, the City decided to conduct a study to improve tourism and lodging activity by
developing strategies that the City could pursue to increase overnight stays and tourism related
spending by leveraging lodging tax funds. The study will be conducted in two phases by CAI. In
phase I, CAI developed the strategies and will study the potential feasibility and return on
investment of six strategies in phase II.
To develop a list of potential strategies, CAI analyzed regional and local tourism spending,
reviewed case studies from other cities, and involved a stakeholder's group that consisted of
local business owners, economic development partners, hoteliers and citizens. The
stakeholder's engagement process included two surveys, interviews, and two workshops. The
first and second workshop was held on December 10, 2015 and March 9, 2016, respectively.
CAI provided an overview of the tourism study in March 8, 2016 to City Council.
When the project list was finalized, staff distributed an online survey to the stakeholders and
Council to rank the proposed project list. The consultant also ranked the projects based on the
project's potential to become self-sustainable, generate hotel stays and be sited within the City.
The survey results (attached) and other criteria ranking were combined to develop a list of the
following proposed projects to study in phase II:
1. Develop new events and festivals to compliment Valley Fest and Cycle Celebration
2. Development of a waterfront park and whitewater course
3. Balfour Park development
4. Fairground expansion and Avista Stadium district
5. Trail development and public art
6. Events center, multifaceted arts and entertainment venue

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: City Hall Supplemental Design Efforts
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Multiple meetings, Council retreat 02-17-15;
Administrative Report 03-17-15, Motion Consideration 03-24-15, Study Session 09-15-15,
Motion Consideration 09-29-15, Interior Discussion 11-18-15, Heating and Cooling Discussions
on 12-1-15 and 12-15-15, Interior and Exterior Discussion 12-29-15, General updates on 01-19-
16 and 02-02-16, Final design discussion on 02-16-16. Final design approval on 02-23-16.
BACKGROUND: Developing options for a permanent City Hall building has been a Council
budget goal for the past several years. Earlier this year, the City closed on 3.38 acres of property
at the former University City Mall site. At the February 17, 2015 Council workshop, staff
discussed the selection process for architectural firms to design the building. At the March 17,
2015 Council meeting, staff updated the Council on the selected design firm and discussed the
draft professional services agreement for the project. At the March 24, 2015 meeting, the
Council authorized the City Manager to contract with Architects West to design the site and
building.
The architect team conducted a public meeting on May 6, 2015 and met with Councilmembers
and staff to finalize the program and discuss design parameters for the building. The project
team updated the Council on the design process and displayed two potential concepts on
September 15, 2015. Council indicated a preference for one of the concepts which was approved
on September 29, 2015. Interior color and material options were discussed on November 18,
2015 and a general heating and cooling discussion was held on December 1, 2015. A general
discussion on interior and exterior details occurred on December 29, 2015, and a status update
was given on January 19, 2016 and February 2, 2016. On February 16, 2016, staff and the project
architect provided a detailed review of the construction plan set and the specification documents.
Final floorplans, exterior and interior details, materials, and site layout were discussed. The final
design was approved by City Council on February 23, 2016.
Tonight's discussion will focus on additional design tasks that complement the completed
design. The first item consists of designing an approximately 2,000 square foot multi-purpose
room with supporting restrooms in a portion of the basement. This room could be used for a
variety of activities such as group meetings, trainings, or displays. The design effort of$21,000
would result in a complete set of bid-ready construction drawings that include electrical,
mechanical, and interior designs.
1 of 2
The next item is a review of the site and landscaping plans for possible revisions to
accommodate several large bronze sculptures. The Spokane Valley Arts Council has indicated a
preference to relocate the "Berry Picker" from the grounds at CenterPlace. They also have
another sculpture that may be available for placement at the City Hall site. This design effort
would determine the ideal locations for these and up to four more sculptures at the site. The
current effort would result in a concept level design at this stage. An additional effort would be
required to produce revised site and landscaping plans if this moved forward.
The final effort would likely not include the City Hall site. The Spokane Valley Arts Council
wants to commission the casting of a large scale (approximately 12 foot high by 14 foot wide)
sculpture of artist Kevin Kirking's Rise of the Schitsu'Umsh. This design effort would identify
potential areas with the City for this sculpture to be located. A concept level plan would be
developed at this time. Additional design efforts would be required if the placement of this
sculpture moved beyond the concept stage.
OPTIONS: Consensus on whether or not to commission all, some or none of the supplemental
design efforts with Architect's West.
RECOMMENDED MOTION: Council discretion.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Supplemental Designs would range from $1,840 to
$21,000.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Update on TIGER VIII Grant Application
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of 2016-2021 Six-Year TIP, Resolution No.
15-005, June 23, 2015; Consensus to move ahead with these grant opportunities and with
consultant assistance at the March 15 Council Workshop. Administrative report on March 29,
2016.
BACKGROUND: The USDOT (U.S. Department of Transportation) issued a 2016 Call for
Projects for the TIGER VIII (Transportation Investment Generating Economic Recovery)
competitive grant program on February 23, 2016.
The TIGER VIII program will fund $500M for transportation projects across the country. These
capital funds will be for surface transportation infrastructure and will be awarded on a
competitive basis for projects that will have a significant impact on the nation, a metropolitan
area, or a region.
The City applied for TIGER grant funds in 2014 and 2015 for the "Bridging the Valley", Barker
Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project without success. Staff would like to pursue funding for
this project again this year. Applications were due on April 29, 2016.
Staff evaluated the TIGER grant criteria and recommended to City Council that the City pursue
grant funding for the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project. This project will improve
truck and train operations, enhance safety and emergency vehicle access, reduce noise, and
will improve the City's overall quality of life.
Update: Staff was informed recently of the USDOT's list of selected projects, and unfortunately
the City's project did not make the selected project list (attached). USDOT passed this project
list on to the U.S. Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, which disseminated it
publically. Now, the U.S. Congress has 60 days to review the list before USDOT can officially
grant the awards. If Congress takes issue with the list, they can pass a joint resolution directing
the Secretary to reevaluate the awards. Staff will continue to monitor Congress' decision, and if
there are any changes to the selected project list we will inform City Council.
As we have done with past USDOT applications, staff will debrief with a USDOT representative
to discuss our application, their review, and ask how we can strengthen our application for the
next round of TIGER grants.

CLAYMONT REGIONAL TRANSPORTATION CENTER
APPLICANT/SPONSOR: Delaware Transit Corporation
TIGER GRANT AWARD: $10,000,000
TOTAL PROJECT COST:$40,000,000
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This grant replaces the existing Southeastern
Pennsylvania Transportation Authority (SEPTA) rail
station in Claymont, Delaware with an expanded
and redesigned Claymont Regional Transportation
Center. Parts of the existing station date back to the
early 1900s and present hazards, including a narrow
pedestrian tunnel that floods in heavy rains. The
new station will be integrated with a transit-oriented
development located one mile north of the existing
station. The project includes high-level platforms, CLAYMONT, DE
Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant facilities,
improved transit and pedestrian connectivity, and
increased parking.
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS
The new facility replaces a current station that has poor vehicular and pedestrian access, marginal
accessibility to trains from low-level platforms on a curved section of track, and a pedestrian tunnel
that is subject to flooding. The project improves multi-modal connectivity to SEPTA rail by creating
a new roadway connection with pedestrian amenities and improved bus facilities.

MARTIN LUTHER KING JR DRIVE CORRIDOR
IMPROVEMENT INITIATIVE
APPLICANT/SPONSOR: City of Atlanta, GA
TIGER GRANT AWARD: $10,000,000
TOTAL PROJECT COST:$22,940,500
PROJECT DESCRIPTION
This grant constructs mobility improvements along
approximately seven miles of Martin Luther King,
Jr. Drive, including resurfacing roadways with
improved lane configurations; upgrading and
widening Americans with Disabilities Act-compliant
sidewalks; installing multi-use trails, a cycle track,
bicycle lanes, and raised medians; upgrading signals
and historic signage/markers; and implementing
green infrastructure improvements and stormwater
management. ATLANTA, GA
PROJECT HIGHLIGHTS & BENEFITS
The project provides new mobility options and increases access to transit, employment centers,
and services along the Martin Luther King Jr. Drive corridor, which currently lacks pedestrian and
bicycle facilities, has long stretches with no crossings, and has high vehicular speeds — leading to
safety hazards for pedestrians, cyclists, and motorists alike. By implementing safety enhancements
