interesting growing pains and we will continue to do that; and said that this experiment we have engeged

Taylor said he has been at the fareweU addresses of several councilmembers throughout the City of
Spokane and County Commissioners, and he heard some gaod speeches and some bitter speeches, and he
said he wants to make sure that he doesn't have any bitterness when be leaves, as this bas been such a
joyous occasion and a great investnient of hme for the past seven years, and said while he has "worked
hard to emulate the character, doggedness and verbosity of John Adams, he is closing this penod of
polihcal service by choice rather then by defeat at the ballot box, and in a1l actuaLty, said his best
comparison to John Aduns has to have been the love, support and patience of an amazing wife who has
stuck by him through all the trials and tribulahons of public life, and he had flowers presented to
Cassandra. Mr Taylor coatmued
"Seven years ago an opportunity to serve was presented to me when our cittzens voted to
incorporate this City of Spokana Valley. Eager to get the jump on potential compehtors, I was the
first person to announce my candidacy for the new city council I remember the day after I made it
official, 1 was dnveng east on Sprague, and just lookuig arouad and I thought, wow, this city ts
really big, what in the heck did I just get myself into I was literally sick to my stomach for the next
week as I rushed to file my financials, conduct my first interview, and prepare my doorbeUmg
hterature By the time we made it to filing week, I was wondering how many people would actually
sign up for oice I thought maybe I could get a pass Well by the end of the week I saw that
wasn't going to happen when six others filed for my position alone, and fifly-two candidates had
filecf overall, three dropped out and there was fortynine that went on to the final Fast forward to
this year though, where we have four seats up for etection, the open seat was filled wtthout
opposition, and only two or tiree mcumbents face a challenge at all Qwte a change Now we all
know the rest of the story from 2002 when the magnificent seven, or the seven devils depending
upon whether you supported incorporation or not, and we took o,ffice in November to build
Washuigton State's seventh largest crty from scmtch The last seven years have been a blur, but I
just have to look in the mirror at the gray hair I have accumulated or just not as much as others, or
out at the audience at my two-year old son to see the changes that have occurred during my time on
the counca I could reminisce all evening, but again, we all know the stones, the debates and the
number of times I have been on the wrong end of a sixlone vote Rather I would lilce to talk about
the future and what Spokane Valley can look forward to in the years to come
To my fellow councilmembers, every deciston we make lays the groundwork for those who will
foUow us; and although our tune of leaderslvp is but a fleettng shadow, what we do in Lfe echoes
through our posterity We heve been given the responsibilrty of stewardsivp by our citizens to
provide those public services aecessary for a funcboning society We are charged to lead those we
represent and leave Spokane Valley a better place then which we found it I believe the work we
have done since mcorporation has laid a solid foundation for the future Let's be sure the
foundation remains true so the City may contmue to build and prosper To the staff, while many of
those who laid the footings of the Crty are no longen cere, I express my gratrtude and smcere thanks

4 Shoreline Inventorv - Gree McCormick
Planning Manager McCormick explained that when we incorporated we adopted Spokane County's
Shoreline Managernent ProJect, which was adopted in 1974 and is substanhally the same as wben
onginally adopted, that Council included funding in the 2009 budget to begin work on developing a
Shoreltne Management Project for the City, that staff issued a request for proposals (RFP) and received
five responses, that staff selected the top three firms based on screeniag cnteria outlined in the RFP and
that interviews are scheduled for Ju1y 9 Mr. McCormick said afterwards, Council will be presented with
a recommendation regarding contract negotiations with the selected firm.
5 Comn Plan Amendment CPA 01-09 Onhons - Mike ConneUv/Greg McCormick
City Attorney Connelly explained that council previously considered several annual amendments to the
comprehensrve plan, but this specific matter was continued to allow staff hme to explore the viability of
entenng into a developer's agreement to condiUon t6e request for high density residential on the property
immediately adjacent to the single family homes m the Shelley Lake development, he said staff has
prepared an amendment to the zocung code whicb would allow such an agreement and which is consistent
with the provisions of State Statutes Mr Connelly said that the City of Spokane has no ordinaace but
does recognize that this is a device which caa be used under state law and they're proceeding without an
ordinanae change, that Spokane County does not have an ordmance but is interested cn devetoping one
Another option he explained, would be to have a pubuc hearmg, which would be held by the legislahve
body and not the Hearing Examiner Mr Connelly said that the cnteria are built into the document, and
any appeal would be to the courts Councilmember Wilhite said she would like to have some options
included to give some flexibilrty, and Deputy Mayor Deneany agreed There was council consensus for
staff to move forward, that this will first go to the Planning Commisslon, and then come back to council
as an interim ordinance
6 Wastewater Interlocal Aereement - NLke Connellv
City Attorney Connelly reported that Spokane County has reqnested that we enter into an mterlocal
agreement regarding both the construction of a aew wastewater facility by t6e County, and the wastewater
system operating within the City of Spokane VaUey, he said the proposed interlocal was recerved last
week from the County attorney, and he mentioned the last few pages of the materials mclude a letter from
Barclays Capital cegardmg sewer revenue bonds, aad an e-mml from Bruce Rawls to Jim Emacio
regarduig certaw assumphons resultmg m approxunate impacts to rates
Mr. Connelly gave a bnef summary on the issue, that the County has moved ahead with the construction
and design of the wastewater treatmeat plant (VVWTP), the County had asked for an interlocal to indicate
Spokeae Valley's support and that we would not go elsewhece; but Mr Connelly said the agreements that
were forwarded to staff for review did not answer some important questions, he said some of the issues
concerned the City's options if the County could not provide treatrnent, aad about the term of the

agreemeat to run with the inrtial bonds or if the bands were re-negotiated or re-sold. Mr Connelly said
this was brought to a head last week whea he got a call from the County's attorney that he'd be
presenting this to the Board of County Commissioners the fact that their investment group told them if
there was no agreement with us, it would have a negative bondmg impact when it cane to points and
rates, adding that the bond issuance and this agreement envision using the River as the pomt of discharge;
but if that changes to aaother alternative, we would need to enter urto a new agreement. Mr Connelly
said he was promtsed a revised agreement would incorporate these conceptual changes, end smd we are
waihng review of this new agreement by our own bond counsel; and he said we may want to identify
areas that are not clear and he asked Council to provide him with any other concems so that he could
report those back to the Commissioners Mr Connelly also explauied that we are in a very unique
situation as there are very few, if any, conmuniges m a sunilar circumstance as geaeraUy other
communities have a utility in place Attorney ConneUy also mentioned that this agreement precludes any
contract with the City of Spokane for our existing or future sewer need as long as the county system caa
provide what we need, and said that is what the pnrchasers of the rate bonds are looking for, and said the
Lnes belong to the system or the fac'tlity so they are Spokaae County's liaes and not ours.
After further review of the draft agreement and some of the definitions, such as system, and ownership,
Mr Connelty said that section 2 5, the last sentence, that we need to clanfy wbat those last paragraphs
mean; that if the River discharge permit doesn't work and they need aaother $100 miUion option, we
would not be bound by that and the agreement would bave to be re-negohated Mr. Mercier mentioned
page 5, section 2 7 that there is ao mechanism that citizens of Spokane VaUey can have mput on rates,
but onty makes the process public, and the structure of the advisory board was discussed with having two
members of the county and one of the City. Mayor Munson said we are responsible for 700/o of the
buswess and said he feels we need more than one vote out of three, and suggested a minimum of county
and crty as 50/50, or 3 to 2 m favor of our representatives as we have a higher client base Crtizen
representation was also chscussed and Councilmember Gothmann suggested we have two city
representatives, and one Spokane Valley citizen appointed by Spokane Valley, and two from the County
Commissioners for a five-member committee Other issaes mentioned mcluded bonding for twenty-five
years on a plant wYth a twenty-year life, t6at input in rates is significant; and Mr. Connelly said he told the
County Comrnissioners we wanted both the lowest possible rates and the shortest possible bond term.
Attoraey Connelly said he intends to srt down with the county attorneys and express tonight's concerns,
and come up with a re-negofiated agreement; dat they anticipate selling bonds about July 22 or 23 and
would want an agreement in place pnor to that sale, so he will work for approval consideration not next
week as he and Mr Mercler will be gone, but the following Tuesday. Mr. Mercier also mentioned page 6,
sectton 3.2 (e) and suggested adding some language if the County denies sernce based on wsufficieat
capacity or if a moratorium is necessary if there is insufficient capacity, or even perhaps addiag a
defiaition of failure of an ongomg basis to cover vanous potenhalities. Mr. Connelly said if the county
can't provlde servtce, we can go elsewhere or the agreement can terminate, and said he will work on the
spectfiic verbiage
Deputy Mayor Denenny asked to be excused and he left the meeting at 8•30 p m.

l. Spoksne Transit AutLoritv Plsnning Corridor Studies - Carl Otterstrom. STA Director of
Planainp,
Mayor Munson mtroduced Carl Otterstrom, Director of STA Mr Otterstrom gave lus presentation on
Planning for a High Performance Network He explai.ned that in 2008 STA's ridership was the lughest it
has been since 1953 and although they have many nders and have grown, forecasts indicate between
100,000 to 250,000 new Spokane County residents by 2030 He said value is added to commumties when
citizens don't have to rely solety upon cars for transportabon He said their focus is on user expenence of
hlgh performance, comprehensive, aIl day, twaway service that is reliable and frequent The network is
cntical because people travel more than one corridor High Capacity Transit looks at travel needs,
existing land-use patterns, planned growrth, and the cost of other travel alternatives The prmiary factors of
attraction include access, frequency, speed, and reliability. Secondary factors include comfort and safety
of passengers, eese of use, and the appeal of the design and features He said the next factors to be
considered are the factors of accommodahon which include affordability, seatmg capacitya Park-and-Ride
parking stalls, and adequate waitiag areas, roadway and facility space for tmnsit vehicles He said
curnently San Francisco is looking at a rapid network to improve frequency, speed and refiabitity on lines
served by streetcars, light raul, diesel buses and trolleys He also showed examples of "S Buses" used in
Copeahagen and Portland's Frequent Service Map that uses Iight rail and buses He defined the major
steps ia planning a network as developing the plan, developing the corrtdor, then plan unplementatioa.
As gwding principles in plan development, he said the network should serve the highest number of people
possible to the most destinations possible, connect regions, cities and centers; unprove the environment
and sustainabilrty of the traasportabon systena, and rt shouid be fiscaily responsible and scaled
appropnately to the region's cunent and long term need.s taking into account demands for scarce pubhc
resources Mayor Munson said the purpose is focused on gettmg people from point A to point B and
connecting the two desttnations rather than just relieving congestioa on the streets IVir Otterstrom agreed
and said the plan shoutd be driven by euisting and long-range plaas, where the density is and how to
connect the aneas He thert went on to describe service typology wluch he said classifies different patterns
of transportahon by identifying opportuiuties previously not considered and a means to moving mode

discussions to the appropnate phase of corridor plannmg He also smd speed, access and fiequency are the
main elements to develop the network
He smd within a netvti•ork there are typically different "lines" of transportation modes for different
purposes For example, green lines are slow moving and frequent, such as a street-car, that would be used
m a constrratned urban environment vtinth high demand Red lines are faster moving modes of
transportatlon for urban corridors and may have exclusive or semi-exclusive lanes Blue lines are hig6er
speed, less frequent modes for commuting on major comdors He clarified that the "average access
interval" is the distance between stations, not how loog a passenger ts on the bus for specific tnps Blue
lines are for longer distance commutes Mayor Munson asked if there would be overlappwg stops Mr
Otterstrom smd it is possible the stops would overlap, however, the lines would not be following each
other in tandem but they may meet up at certain points on the route then verge apart again He said Seattle
is budding their long-range system as if they were connecting Tacoma to Seattle when the reality is that
most people are not taking hght rail but are instead usmg the commuter rail He said m definmg network
comdors, it is important to consider the design pnnciples that look at mixed-use for transit on an all day
system He said we should look at different ideas to see what are best, whai works well in the future, and
then pnontize the corridors for use and look at fundiag opportunibes such as grants and partnerships He
said vie also need to consider what portions can be accomplished soon due to the increasuig gas prices
and the poor state of the economy Councilmember Gothmann asked if consideration goes into mappmg
special events coming to the area or those annual events we know of that take place throughout the year,
such as the County FaU Mr Otterstrom smd events shouldn't dnve the proposal, however, events should
be considered as a part of the proposal and he pointed out we wouldn't wa.nt to design somethmg that
would need to be shut down dunng an even4 such as a streetcar that runs through the middle of Hoopfest
He said the system serves the crty's land-use goals and needs He showed different examples of the
various modes of transportatton for the different transportation needs, emphasuing the desired outcome is
to create a network so people won't aeed multiple cars to get around He said this is not just for getdng
people to and from work, but for gemng around within the communities Councilmember Dempsey said
she is very excited about this system and proposal Deputy Mayor Denenney said he is excited with their
approach af focusmg on what they are trying to accomplish and bow to use grants to pa.y for it.
Councilmember Gothmann said he likes that they have gone back to the basics of defioing the problem
and moving farward to solve it Councilmember Wfflute asked if they have a sense of the density to
determine where people are gowg Mr Otterstrom said thts ts long-term plan, that they know where we
can go now as a starting point and then we can look at areas to build later that we aren't able to support
right now He said incremental development is a good approach for uansit and it allows us to assess and
reassess later what can be unplemented in stages He said if rt is done nght we should find we can support
it without having larger density. Councilmember Wilhite said planning is very unportant and sbe agrees
we should continuously reassess the project
2. ULTRA-Eg: Urban Long Term Researc6 Ares Egploratorv Awards Nationa! Science
Foundatioa - Kathv McClnng
Commuaity Devetopment Director McClung tntroduced Larry Branen from the Universrty of Idaho. She
said the University of Idaho and Washingtan State Unrversity have applied for a graat regarding the
impacts of urbanization on water and au qualrty and they want Spokane Valley to be a stakeholder She
said the two-year commitment would include providing ULTRA with information we already have,
occasional meeting space, possible councilmember time at public meetmgs and some staff tune. Mr
Branen said he serves as Assoaiate Vice President of the University of Idaho and has served on both
faculties He said this program is with the U S Forest Service for exploratory research in areas and
ecosystems around communibas and tooks for ways to protect natural resources and respect the natural
urbanization that occurs He said they are asking for identafication of urban areas where mterface occurs
and the impact that has on the natwal ecosystem He smd they have put together interdiscipluiary teams
that mclude different scientists and practitioners to research communities There are sixteen graats

nationally, giving out $300,000 each; however, if we are successful after two years, we can apply for
grants that give $1,000,000 per year that is long-term fundtng. He said similar groups have recerved
$1,000,000 grant funding per year for over 10 years, some more than 25 years He said that having been
at both universiUes, he knows they have remarkable, weil-renowned scientists He said the National
Scienae Foundation (NSF) expects stakeholders to be involved He said the Spokane - Coeur d'Alene
area is a uruque erea that he thuiks can be recognized for its diverse set of areas, the outstanding natural
resource assets found here, and the fact that it is an area not yei totally wbanized. He said 5 00 p m today
was the deadlme for the grant proposal and tbat it was sent He said that ULTRA vnll prov►ide Spokane
Valley with expert scientists who will conduct evaluations and providc us with informahon, while the
City provides them input and information we have cuffently. They theD take this tnput and informahon
back to the team, analyze and re-evaluate, then provide the new information, helping the City in thev
decision-making. At this time he ts asking Spokane Valley submit a letter of commitment. He satd they
will know in the fall if we get agrant. He said they are currently moving forward and asked Counca what
concerns they may have and what data he can have access to. He also said there Vall be seven workshops
they would want council and staff to be involved in and that t6ere is no direct cost to tfie C1ty. The first
two years of the program will focus on water because he said that seems to be the major concern to most
commumties and because we are directly tmpacted by what happens in Rathdrum Praurte, by Kootenai
County Cornnussioner decisions relahng to the aquifer, and by waste treatment facilihes They wiU look
at the impact of other communities Mayor Munson asked how the ULT'RA study might pull tnto the
TNIDL study and the discharge permit approval. Mr Branea said the ULTRA study would try to look at
water quality, current and proposed policies, however, he said some aspects may be beyond their control
due to the diPferent governing agencies, such as EPA regulaLons He satd they work wnth people to
analyze standards and determine if those standards are workable for what they're trying to do Deputy
Mayor Denenney said he'd like them to look et the impact of development of an area and whai causes
urbanizahon of that area Mr Branen pointed out the last paragraph on the first page of lus handout
regarding what ULTRA will and vNll not do and asked that Council read it becaase it is very hclpful to
understanding what they are doing
Mayor Munson asked if the ULTRA program will pay for staff involvement Mr. Branen said funds are
very limrted and they will go to pay for graduate students, however, he added that for the first two years
he doesn't see a lot of demand bemg placed on City staff and thmks there will be other funds available in
the future. Mayor Munson said that commitment of staff mvolvement is not a decision of Councii, but of
staff recommendation Ms McClung said that based on what she understands of the request, she doesn't
think the staff involvement is any more extensive than other requests they get from the public. She said
providing iaformation would not be a problem and they can manage to attend some meetings.
Councilmember Gothmann suggested tUe scienhsts also look at urban wadfire interface and what effocts
that has on water because everything is interrelated and complex. Mr. Branen satd it ts an important piece
to deal with as well and the Crty should pomt thai out i.n the letter they draft Councilmember Dempsey
asked if them are facilities in Coeur d'Alene and Spokane they wili be using as their base rattter than
Moscow and Pulimaa. Mr. Branen said they bave space in the Outlet Mall in Post Falis as well as space in
Caew d'Alene, and WSU Spokane has comcnitted to make facllifies available Councilmember WiIhite
said she thinks it is an iutriguing project ead Spokane Valley can benefit greatly by paraicipating. Mayor
1Viunson asked that the results of the studies be written and presented m non-scienbfic language for ease
of understandmg. Mr Bcanen agreetl the findings need to be easily iaterpretable Ms. McClung said she
will draft a letter of commitrnent for the Mayor's signature if that is the desue of Council Councrl
consensus.
3. Jail Issues - Rick VanLeuven, S6eriff Knezovich
Mayor Munson welcotned Chief VanLeuven and Shenff Knezovich. Shenff' Knezovich said he wants to
malce sure Council understands ttiey are not just looking at buildmg a new jail but also the need to bwld a
process that con-ects the criminal jushce system He said currently inmates are running nineteen days on

average per stay and that number should be m the area of fourteen or fourteen and one-half days Most of
the popuiahon is not sentenced to a great amount of hme and they need to address the issues that are
putting people in jail He said mental heaith issues aeed to be deaJt with to reduce recidivism and his
concem when lookmg at buildmg a new jail facility Ls sustamabiLty and he said they can't keep dealmg
with these same issues in the future Expandability needs to be part of mix The buitding costs will be
paid off efter the bondtng penod, but he said personnel costs need to conhnually be funded. They would
etther need to go after a new bond or mcrease the sales tax. He smd in the last nine months they have
reevaluated the entire system and they have asked the hard questions November 2008 was the target date
to go to bond but beceuse of the high pnce tag they decided not to In looking at November or December
of 2049 he doesn't think meetung the hmelme ts possible
Shenff Knezovich satd that in the last twenty years Geiger has become a secondary Jail m the County, and
it was not designed to be a jail - it was designed to be a work-release facilrty He said the ratio for the
numbers of officers to inmates is a safety issue that needs to be resolved In addition, fifteen to twenty-six
percent of offenders are vanous gang members needing to be separated from nval gang menibers He said
the Airport Board has put Spokane County on notice that the lease for Geiger will not be renewed for
2013 and that the normal scenano for buildmg a new structure is fifty-two months He smd the best-case
scenario is twenty-suc months but they would need an extension on the lease In looking at the cnm.inal
justice system, the overall tuae to disposihoa indicated an average of 4 5 appearances between
arratgnment and disposition in Supenor Court. He said early case resoluhon is designed to minimize that
figure Based on David Bennett's study, the inmate population is gowing between foriy to sucty-five beds
per year depending on the length of stay. He said with regard to the uimates housed for the U S Marshall,
nmety percent of them come from Spokane Valley and the other ten percent have a direct effect on
Spokane Valley, either through drug trmfficking or other ccunes, so we need to have the beds to hold
them
In looking at the expandability options for a nevv jail, he said the booking faciLty should be expanded
because it is the area widh the highest "tiraffic " A nvnl site location offers expansion by building of
modules rather than towers (buildmg out instead of up) He said they have already been able to take the
operational costs down and now they are looking at Iowering the constrvction costs He said he thinks
they need to look at the cost benefit for each option and they can either reopen the EPF (Essential Public
Facllities) process to look at sites, which he thinks would either be in Medacal Lake or on aurport land that
can be dedicated for that purpose Councilmember Gothmann asked about the delta to open the EPF
process and move forward and he said there are two decision-making factors, one being fiaancial and the
other being what will happen w the firture Sheriff Knezovich said he echoes that statement and said this
project is for our grandchildren and their children Deputy Mayor Denenny thanked the Shenff for !us
affort in gettmg mto the community and for his willingness to get the word out using the media Mayor
Muason said that it can become difficult to keep momentum going or to make a change m direction once
rnomentum has already been built up and he thanked Shenff Knezovich for stepping back and
reevaluating the project Deputy Crty Manager Jackson asked about the SheriTs comment regarding the
ja.ll being a"mental health providee' and asked if a community center would be suited to handle those
cases Sheriff Knezovich said he thinks the state dropped the ball and that instead of bringing people to
jail, folks would be taken to a secured mental health facility to try to get the situaLion calmed dovm rather
thaa going through the jail system He said as a society we need to work differently Ln our thought
process because we eod up paying a lot to have the jail system deal wrth the problem rather than a mental
health facility or vanous outreach programs more swted to deal with these kinds of situations He went on
to say that as soon as someone gets arrested, if they were on an assistance progiram and receiving
medication that medicahon ends with ttieir release He said he thinks they should have the ability to
maintam medications upon release. Mr Jackson asked if we cauld save operational costs by going to
direct rather than inchrect supervision Sheriff Knezovich said direct supervision is a form of inmate
contral and behavior modificalbon ability He said with direct supervision there is more contact wnth an

iamate and there is a reward system for good behavior, with induect supervLsion there is less coatact
between the inmate and the deputy and the system gYVes the inmate the abiliiy to be on the floor but
allows them to be locked m cells dunng the night rather than on the floor, requiring more man power
which he said is the only difference He said it has no direct effect on recidivism, it is just a different
thought process on uimate management and as a commumty he said we can not afford a"direct
supervision" jail and we need to be reahstic whea btulding these projects Deputy Crty Attorney Drisketl
asked if the number given for jail pvpulation, around 455, mcludes federal uunates. Shenff Knezovich
smd cwTendy the jail can only provide eighty beds to federal iamates, but as the population fluctustes we
add that space back for federal mmaies to take pcessure off the U.S MarshaU and federal inmate housing
He stressed again that the iamates are all Spokane Gounty inmates whether in federal or U S Marshall
beds Mr. Dnskell clanfied that the number of 455 beds for total population includes eighty federally
housed beds Shenff Knezovich said that summer is generally the hughest wnate populedion ttme but
steps and programs that have been implemented are reducing those numbers Mayor Munson said that this
is not just about the jatl but the entire cnminal jusrice system Shenff Knezovich said he thmles their
philosophies will pay off, that it is a team effort that involves the community and a willmgness to change.
Mayor Munson thanlced the sheriff for his time and sa.id he Iooks forward to an update m a few months.
Ghief VanLeuven said that all members of the department are conceraed about jail issues and they're
concerned with handlmg the cnmmal justice problems rather than conhnuing to jail people sevenJ times
before they make it through the court system.

4. Site Selector Agreement - Scott Kuhta. Isn Von Essen
Scott introduced Ian Von Essen who would tike to get direction from Council on the regional site selector
program As baekground, he said the srte selector is an educahonal tool used by community real estatie
brokers and rt is dwected by a consorhum of inembers such as Spokane County, the City of Spokane,
Liberiy Lake, and Avista. He said the site gives brokers a central place to locate busmesses and properties
for sale and they are able to generate demographic reports, census information, and busunesses compettng
for the same site.Mr. Kuhta said that Spokane Valley joined the consortium m 2007 in the middle of an
agreement &at was already established Council authonzed $20,000 m 2008 and allocated $16,500 for
2009, however, he said last year for budgetary reasons it was decided that the consortium would present a
request for funds as part of the ontside agency request process Mr. Kuhta said the problem is that it
should not be treated as an outside agency because Spolcane Valley panccipates on the consorhum,
allovving the jurisdictions' contnbutions to be based on a prorated amount based on their population so
askmg for funding is couater to the agreement He said he is asking Council for direction as to whether
they wa.at to remain on the consorbura or have the request for funds presented as an outside agency. He
said if Council wants them to present their request for funds as an outside agency, Spokane Valley would
need to pull out of the consortium If Spokane Valley wants to remain on the consortium, they need to
commit to the agreement and then it is up to Council to make sure the funds are in the budget as
committed and funding is not there, they would pnll out of consorhum at that time Mr.Von Essen said the
site also leverages the GIS system so people can see zonmg information, shoreline and other critica] areas
so when they are making investrnent decisions about properties they can see vvhat areas they may vvant to
stay away from He smd they want to makke the program as inexpensive as possible and this year they are
cutting the cost to approximately $12,000, but once the commitrnent is made they would expect the City
to pay the prorated amount based on the populatioa of Spokane Valley Councilmember Wilhrte said she
had hoped part of the funchng to keep the system going would come from private businesses rather than
just cities and asked how successful they have been with that aspect Mr Von Essen said that due to the
economy in the last year fundwg has been challenging on that front but they have speat hme courtmg
other cities such as Post Falls, Coeur d'Alene and Kootenau County, but it is a slow process Mayor
Munson said recently we passed the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan (SARP) and asked if that will
be incorporated on their site.lVir Kuhta said it can be added as a layer and said another beneft of bevng a

member on the consortium is that we would have mput as to what is included oa the website Mayor
Munson said for the money paid into the program 6e would like to be able to have people shop with the
information contauned m the SARP He then asked Mr Von Essen to explain LIFT Mr Von Essen said
LIFT is targeted towar+d grvmg information to low-income people, such as transportation, jobs, and
housing in low income areas to close the cucle geographically He smd it can also show child-care
locations and the Departrnent of Human Services has linked in to allow folks to get back into the work
force by being able to look at the vanous means of transportatYOn and childcare optcons He said there are
about twenty-five different layers on the srte selector geared toward business locaUons but they could also
link to other sites for sources of other information Mayor Munson asked how many busmesses have
moved to Spokane Valley from using this site Mr. Von Essen answered that there were 1,500 total
sessions from Apnl to June, but they are unable to detennme which busmesses have used the site to move
to Spokane Valley Mayor Munsan said as an educational tool it would be mce to determme if it is
actually workiag Mr Von Essen said the srte selector is more like Consumer Reports m that it is highly
informational for folks mterested in an area to gather information before physicaUy shopping the area
Councilmember Gothmaan saud he betieves the option of being on the consortium is rriost desirable
Deputy Mayor Deaenny agraed Mayor Munson asked if it is the consensus of council to continue to fuad
the srte selector as a member of the consortium Deputy City Manager Jackson said the question for
tonight is if Council would like the Regional Site Selector program to present a request for fundiag as an
outside agency. It was the corrsensus of Council to contrnue pancctpnhon as a Regronal Srte Selector
Consortium member and not requrre a presentanon for a request for funding as an outside agerrcy Mr
Kuhta said he will d.raft the agteement for Counc►1 approval
5. Councit Vacancv Procedure - Mavor Munson
Mayor Munson asked staff if we need an ordwance or a motion for the procedure to fill the vacancy

CONIIVIITTEE. BOARD, LIAISON Si;fhIlVTARY REPORTS:
Councilmember Wilhite reported that she attended the Spokane Valley Business Association (SVBA)
meehng, attended a roundtable meeting about affordable housmg where they discussed some of the
shmulus funding coming uito our state and that the east side of Washmgton didn't received as much
stimulus funding as the western side, aad there was some discussion on whet kuid of prograals we could
do to capture some of those funds, said she also attended a 6ealth care meeting with Insuraance
Commissioner Mke Kreidler who said he feels we should include input on a.ffordable health c,are and
how that will impact our state, and that she also attended the Spokane Valley Chamber luncheon where
Commissioner Kreidler also spoke
Deputv Mavor Deaenny. mported he attended a SRTC meeting oa behalf of Spokane Transit and as chair
of the STA Board, wlucb topic will be further elaborated upon tonight.
Couacilmember Demosev: stated that she also attended the SVBA meeting
Councilmember Schimmels and Gothma.an had ao report
MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Munson reported t6at he attended the SVBA meetmg where he heard from
three of the candidates who applied to fill Mr. Taylor's position; he attended the opening of the only
Islamic Mosque in the Spokane Regton; he attended a rneeting concerning the jail, and he explamed that
the US Marshall has put together a group of civil leaders, that the jail situation has cuiminated m two
choices: the downtown jail which is approved; be said that the costs have increased from $254 million to
$265 million, that they anncipate another tower will be required within the next twenty years, and based
on current dollars, that will amount to another $146 million, and he said that option two is a rural site at a

DRAFT
pervious estimate of $190 million but because of a lack of land in the chosen area, which has not been
approved yet, the estuaate is now $229 million Mayor Munson said the expansion of this facility could
be more coatrolled, that the US Marshall's office provides fundmg for the federal pnsoners that the jail
houses, and if they take that money from the feds and put it away in a replacement fund, they could fuUy
fund the incr+ease of the facility ia the fuhue years, so the request of $229 million would be a one-time
request. Niayor Munson further explauied that the delta between the downtown ophon and the rural opUon
is approximately $75 million, and as a resnlt, the Shenff has asked civic and business leaders to wnte to
the County Commissioaers askuig them to re-open the essential public faciliries process, but that we must
keep in mind that Spokane Va11ey is "off the table" for this discussion as the possible srte areas are in the
West Plains area and possibly Cheney, or the awport property near the Waste-to-Energy plant, but to
examine those sites, the essential public facilities process must be re-opened Mayor Munson swd that
oext week he would provide Couacil the detailed briefing he receivcd yesterday, and he wiU ask for
Council's permission to write two letters• one for aU the cities and busmesses to sign in oae letter, and the
other letter would bejust from the Spokane Valley Council Mayor Munsoa explained that they hope the
Essential Public Facihries process will be completed by February of next year, and that a bond issue
would take place in April 2010, and he said he asked the Shenff if he would officially constder
withdrawwg his 2009 date for a bond Lssue, aad the Sherriff mdicated that is under consideration and he
would let us know Mayor Munsoa further reported he attended the Chamber luncheon, and reiterated that
no decisions have been made yet concerning the State's health care issue, but that this particular plan
deals with catastrophic insurance which would be universal in Washiagton State. Councilmember Wilhite
added that Commissioner NLke Kreidler also brought up the idea of a payroll tax; and she said she told
Mr Kreidier that the small businesses in the state of Waslungton would not be very recepbve to that idea
Deputy Mayor Denenny added that he thought it unusual that Commissioner Kreidler woutd explain that
the undernsured are cosbng our society a great deal of money because we pay for them one way or
another, then say that a$10,000 deduchble plan would be okay to have, wrth no mandate to cover the
underlying cost
PUBLIC COMNIENTS: Mayor Munson invited general public comments
Edward Schiffner. 11310 E 30th said that concerning disincorporation, there seems to be more and more
signs to dismcorporate, that he worked on four cornnuttees to incorporate this crty and he said that he
feels disiacorporahon would absolutely be the worst thing we could possibly ever do; that one of the
reasons we uicorporated was we had a commissioner, and he said that he wouldn't even menrion Keith
Shepard's name, but he said we could not work anth him at all, that he (Shepard) put an article m the
newspaper that ao amount of money was too mucb to spend to protect our aquifer, thus we had to sewer
the valley, and the cvst of seweruig the valley would be betwreen $10,000 and $160,000 per household;
and he said that any ticne a politician tells you that no amount of is too much to spend, you can be sure of
one thmg, that he is not putting a dime of his own money m it, he said that disincorporation seems to be
gaming steam, and he suggested whea we see one of those signs, we drop m and talk to those people, as
he said he believes those people are misinformed, that they feel that theu taxes will go way down if they
dismcorporate and he said he doesn't beheve that would be true, that they believe that a lot of the things
that happened due to the sewers, like the $38.00 monthly charge, would go away if they disincorporated
the city but Mr. Schiffner said that is not true, he said that they believe that a lot of the tax increases over
the last ten years or so due to the i.ncreased valuation is money that the city is raking off and taking away
from them, he suggested we put a booth or somethmg up at the Valleyfest and at the Fwr, and we
disstnbute literature about how efficient this city is; and said that when we have a cancer growtng, we
tnast attack that cancer as we cannot sit back and domg nothing about it hoping they won't gei the
signatures.
Mike ThomQson. Fire Chief he explained that they recently subraitted a grant appltcation for the
construction of Fim Stahon # 10 at 17217 E Sprague, that the grant was funded through stirnulus funds,

about $211 million across the nation for construction or r8model of fire stations; that they applied for that
grant and are requesUng about $1.4 million to conshvct that station, that part of the grant requtrements
wclude that n has 30% reducUon in energy use, and meets some LEEDS requuements, he said they feel it
would come ia at a"Silver" in the LEEDS certification program; and said they should know if they are
successful by the end of September, and that they included in the grant applicafion, that if they are
awarded the grant, withm forty days of receiving that notce, they would be in constructioa, that they had
a pre-construction meeting with the City, that iheir plans are 98% complete and so it would be a matter of
going to bid, finishing the fmal review and approval by the City for permits; then start the actual
construction. Couacilmember Gothmann asked if a Ietter of snpport from t6e Council would be helpful
and Cluef Thompson said it would, and said they have asked their Coagressional Delegation to submit a
letter, and that he has an address of where to send the letCer Couacil concurred with the idea of sending a
letter of support.

was then moved by Depuly Mayor Derrenny, seconded, und uncrnrmously agreed to approve the consent
agenda excludrng rtem 1 c
c. Aowraval of Private Sewer Easement: It was moved by Deputy Mayor Derrenmy cmd seconded to
approve Item Ic of the Consent Agenda. Gonncilmember Gothmann explained that the City would be
gcanting an easement to a couple of residents so that they can build their private line down the street to
connect to the sewer, and he said it bothers him that the County previously provided an wifuaded
mandate to all msidents that they will connect to the sewer, but does not provide the service and makes
the homeowner go through the City's streets to hook up, and he said rt bothers him that the County
refuses to do what he feels is their obligation to lay public sewers where people can connect to them
Public Works Director Kersten explained that regarduig those two lots, that the County works with each
homeowner regarding where the stub is located, that Ponderosa is unique; that typically sewer Gnes are ia
aU the streets, but Ponderosa has lots which are one-acre long so there is no cross-lots on Felts Street, just
two lots on the north and two on the south and those lots face 4e and Holman Road, so the County feels
if they go across one side of the lot, they've met thetr obliption; and the Counfiy did not want to run a
sewer liae down Felts; he said the County recognizes that both these properiy owners had unusnal
features, and Dr. Benage Ls oa bedrock and a basement could not be built so the work is gowg along the
front of his house wrtb the bedrock about two mches under the pavemeat, with a 20' deep trench with
solid rock, and Dr Whiting's lot is narnow and he built a pool and added some improvements on one side
so he would have to tear out the pool to get past the house, so the County offered to build a private line
that could reach their sewers on the back; that the County is being pretty reasonable about the cost, and
they will provide stubs to the back side which will allow the properiy owners to resolve the problems, and
Mr Kersten said he feels it is a good solution; and if the Couaty were to do all the roads rt would be
expensrve, and just to run dovm Felts would amount to hundreds of thousands of dollars. Couacilmember
Gothmann asked why can't they own the line ffiat exists from the connection that the two bomeowners are
making to the line on 48th; and Mr Kersten said they have not done that anywhere else, so he felt if that
occurred here, they would start to have to do it elsewbere, and said he beLeves we don't have the
authority to ask the County to do that. Councilmember Gotbmann mentioned that this sounds tike the best

solution, but said he feels the pipe and street should belong to and be serviced by the County and not the
residents, aad reitemted that m his discussions with Mr Kersten and the homeowners, that t.ius appears to
be the best solution In respoase to Mayor Muoson's question about the lme maintenance, Mr. Kersten
said the property owners are responsible to mamtain the line, which is normal if the person owns the line,
and under the easement, they would have to maiatai.n that. City Attorney Connelly added that under
aormal circumstances, a horneowner would use their own property and connect to the Couuty line in front
of their house, and they have chosen not to do that as they want to use our right-of-way because of the
rock problems and that there is already a pool in place, and said it is not unusual if a private easement is
run to benefit the property owner to save them some cost and inconvenienc,e, that they mainta►m that hne,
and said that it is not wconsistent for the County to maintain as a private lme if they make every
accommodation pubhc, then their responsibility to maurtam those Lnes would increase exponentially, and
there are anomalies throughout the crty where people would Lke to do it a little differently. Mayor
Munson asked if there is a break in the line which reqwres going through the street, who repairs the
stceets, and City Attomey ConnelIy sald the easement agreement would put the property owoer
responsible for making the repairs if they breach the street, and for curb-to-curb repaving, they woutd
have to follow the repaving rules we have in place ]Mr Kersten said for the new street, we would pay for
that; but if they had to tear it up and re-do it, they'd have to follow the cut orduiance, but the likelihood of
that oc.cciuruig is pretty remote, and they are saving money as to do it on theu properly would be a lot

Mayor Munson mentioned that prior to this issue being placed on the legislabve docket, Council needs to
be informed of the issue and be sure to give Councilmember Wilhite input from Counciimembers
Couacilmember Wilhite, m going through the PowerPoint presentahon, mentioaed that SRTC is re-
examiniag their mission and vision statements and examining the Council's representation of who sits on
that board Councilmember Wilhite explauied that SRTC functions through an interlocal agreement
among tha ctties and the county to do regional transportation planning and coordination, and they belp
select project priorrties when funds arc available from the federal goveniment, that they examined other
agencies which deal wrth transportation issues and how the SRTC nuglit want better coordination with
them, such as the local transportarion committees withm the vanous cities, the legislators, the
transportation agencies such as WSDOT, and the economic development busmesses mcluding the
Regional Chamber, the STA, the Airport Board (which is generally not routed through the SRTC), and
she mentioned that rail transportation is usually not mcluded as railroads are pnvate whlch only come to
us when they have a nead, but are diff'icult to locate at other times Councilmember Wilhite said SRTC is
examming exishng chaUenges such as lack of coorduiated effort for advocacy as a rogioa, wtnch item is
tied to the North Spokane Corndor and the fundiag issues, the challenge of conflict of local priorities
versas regional priorities, the need for a closer relation witb econoatic development, a stronger need for
pubhc outreach, the challenge of limited resources, and of land use connectioa such as planning for any
annexations which would have an unpact on transportation Ms Wilhite also discussed specific sections
of the interlocal such as Sectioo 2 concerniag the SRTC purpose, the structure of the SRTC, aad the
exishng versus the proposed board composihon, existmg and proposed committees, explmning the
structure of the Transpartation Advisory Committee (TAC), tlie Bi-Parhsaa Council (BPC), the Small
Caucus (SCC), and the Citizen's Advisory Committee (CAC).
Mayor Munson mentioned the material given to Council tonight from Crty Attorney Conneliy concerning
the SRTC. Mr. Connelly explained that these materials include an overview of how SRTC is organized
acaordmg to state and federal law, and how the current ioterlocal agreement mterplays with the state and
federal law; that the structwe can be confusing so he included all the underlymg statutes as well as the
actual interlocal so Council caa see what was signed Mr Connelly mentioned that they are m the middle

of aaother effort, which materials should be available by Council's next meerng, which is a flow chart of
authonty and of what steps would have to be taken to modify thet structure. Mayor Munson pomted out
on page four of Mr. Connelly's materials, mention that the "SRTC wdl prepare a regional transportation
plaa as set forth by the RCW which is "consistent with County-wide Planning Policies (CWPP) Lf such
have been adopted;" and further, that the `~regional transportahon improvement program shall be based on
the programs, projects and transportahon demand measures of regional sigruficance as idenhfied by
transit ageacies, cities, and counbes " Mayor Munson asked if that is being done, and Councilmember
Vl/ilhrte responded that there has been some discussion about the transit and their representation oD the
board; that the SRTC hes looked at some of the transit but until now, funds from tra,nsit go directly to
transit; and SRTC has no say in how tiansrt is planned, so when STA does the p18n, SRTC simply accepts
the plan Mayor Munson stated if the SRTC is going to develop a regional Vansportation plan accorduig
to thts, it should be based upon the cities' and the county's goals for growth, and he asked if the Plan does
that Mayor Wilhite said tbe plan that was done was done three years ago, she believes it looked at what
was done with the land use planning and transportation plan, but that is not a plan that is done every year,
aithough it is updated as changes are made Mayor Munson said thet plan is required to be updated every
two years, and that is one of the reasons he waoted to discuss this tonight, as Mayor Munson said he does
not believe t6at they have examined Spokane VaUey's Comprehensrve Plan as previously rt wasn't
completed, that the plans have all been updated except the County has not yet completed their pian; and
he said these are the kind of things we need to be concerned about and he asked if the regional
iransportation plaa includes the plan of Spokaaae Valley, and Councilmember Wilhite said the SRTC is
discussing that to make sure that is done; and that is why SRTC is working on this major revision.
Councilrnember Wilhite further reported thai there was a meering in 2008 of people from the community,
includlog elected officials, wluch meehng vvas refened to as the "Big Tent Meeting," and they were the
group that said the plan needs to be reviewed and updsted and unified m the vision regarding the
governance and financing strategy, which has been ongoing; and she quoted the mission as "To provide
for the safe and effective movement of people and goods mto, within, and through the Spokane Region
with the integration of a balanced multi-modal transportation choices" and that they are considering
changing the wording slightly. Councilmember Got.hmann said he feels the mission should reflect the
mission to coordinate those plens that exist ia other localities; to include sometung that it wdl develop
with the cooperation or consultation with stakeholders Councilmember Willute said the group is also
exsminiag the interlocal agreement as it was brought to the group's attention that the STA needs a bigger
voice at the table, and that every change must be routed through each enMy which is part of the interlocal
egreement, and that all that takes tune, she said the main committee only meets moathly, but a sub-
commitGee meets about every two weeks to euamine these issues fiuther on how the SRTC structure will
be changed Councilmember Wilhite explai.ned about the board's structure, that they wanied to increase
the board, and the discussion of the different aeeds of the vanous entihes, from small cifies to large citaes,
and even sphttmg small cihes into two groups. one over 5,000 and one group with population over 5,000,
and she menboned that some of the very small cities are not interested nor have the tune to sit on such
comauttees, so fioding people to serve is difficult, that r+egarding private sector, they wanted to have
someoae with a backgcound ie transportation, perhaps freight mobility or trucking; and to have that
person chair a transportarion advooacy committee, wluch would help to brmg in other public members.
Councilmember Gothmann added that most of our major projects, especially those desling with major
arterials, have to go through SRTC for funding by the state and feds, and added that mvst of our projects
have been funded at approximately 80%. CounciLnember Wilhite said that any project that receives
federal funding must come before the SRTC Board where the Technical committee reviews the project
aad determines approval recommendation to the board
Ms. Wilhite then further discussed the struchue of the various committees. Mayor Mugson stated that
Spokane Valley only has one representative yet represents 19% of the region's population, that Spokane
City cocnprises 44% of the region and t6e County about 23%; and he asked why we only have one
Council Reguiar Meenng- 7-14-2009 Page S of 9
Approvtd by Council
DRAFT
representative Councilmember Wiihite said that was how the interlocal was written when we were
onginally incorporaiel as a city, but that it could be changed, that the representatioa ts based on cost and
population, wluch has changed some in the last six plus years Mayor Munson asked Councilmembers
how they felt about paying a little more and 6aving two representatives. The question arose of what we
pay now, and while no one had exact figures, Mr Mercier said we could check. Ms. Wilhite said the
board composition was based on population and then that determined how much they paid, and that the
argument from the STA was that they paid a greater amount of money and only had one repre.sentative,
and they felt they wrere eatitled to two. I?eputy Mayor Denenny smd that STA's argument is not so much
the dollars, but that there is no question that mess transit is oot incorporated in the plammng proaess even
close to how it is in other counties; that there is ao question in t6e future that transit will be the recipient
of many doUars, and that this community is "behuid the curve" in relatioaslup to integrating public
transportation/mass traasrt mto their regional transportabon plammng; and in the unique cvcumstances of
STA, there has been discussion that the CEO should aot be at the table, but the comaiittee includes
WSDOT and a State Commissioner who are not elected officials, but the STA CEO is someone who is
fully integrated into the transportation planning process, and he asked that the SRTC look at the argument
of having STA have two members, one would be the CEO a voting member, and the other would be a
staff person Mayor Munson asked for Council preference on Deputy Mayor Denenny's suggestion, and
there was no defirutive preference, and Mayor Munson said it may be incumbent upon this council to
determine if this Council wishes to request a second member for STA, and he said he supports that
posihon Mr Mercier remmded Council that this is an admmistrative report and votmg would come at a
different ttme, that currently Spokane Valley has a voice of one of nine members of the Board, and the
proposal would mean that it would change to one out of thirteen votes, which is a diluhon of voting
un#lueace for our City, and he said only m one of the new areas of suggestion is there an mdication as to
who the voting represeatahve would be from that group, which is the small cities caucus, but there is no
indication who would be the voting voice of the transportation advisory committee or the bi-partisan
council
Councilmember Wilhite said that curcently the only committee which exists is the techmcal committee,
and they are looking at adding the transportation advisory committee, that they felt the chair of that woutd
be the public member from the SRTC Board, and that the cunent public member is Mr. Jim WiUiams, a
non-elected official Regardmg the bi-partisan council, Ms. Wilhite said because of the nature of the
legislature and that they are represented by two parties, SRTC felt it would be difficult for them to eiect a
chatr, and she stggested whoever ts the most senior person on the committee be the chair, but in speaking
with several sta.ff of the legislature, they wovld prefer just to come and comment and act more as an ex-
official instead of havwg a vote. She further explauned that some of the problems with the federal
projects is that staff doesa't receive uiformahon unhl just before the funding application is due makmg
the timmg difficult; so the group is trying to come up with a means of beiag more proactive Suggested
projects, Ms Wilhite explauied might include the "Inland Hub" which is sselcing funding to provtde a
freight mobtlity half-way from Canada mto Spokane via Eastport, which ts the crossmg across the
Caaadian border, thai this was suggested as a means of being pro-active in keeping the expenses down,
that the port is a 24-hour port; and that Homeland Secwity has already put in x ray equipment so the train
cars can be x-rays as they come to the crossing; that the Inland Hub before connechng vnth SRTC did
lobby the Congress for planning money, and they got $250,000 &om the Washington State Delegatioa
and they are expecting to get fundmg from the Idaho Delegatioa to do planning on t6is particular project;
and they asked if the SRTC would serve as a conduit for monrtoring the spepding and the development of
this project Councilmember Willute added that the SRTC was responsible this year for prinhng and
distributing the bike map Deputy Mayor Denenny said that the problem wi#h getUng citizen participation
is that they will come in wnth just a single agenda, and once that issue is resolved, they no longer
participate, so it is important to be sure citizens know of the long-term commitment Councilmember
Wilhite concluded by explaining that the SRTC is anticipating actwg on the recommeodations some hme
this fatl, that there are different levels of interest, and reading through all the materials will take time so

the committee felt rt would be wiser to give people adequate time to research the tapics, and she said that
she enticipated perhaps Septetnber thai the group will look further at making chaxnges, that they wiU look

seconded to advance Ordmance 09-019 to a second reading City Attorney Connelly explamed that this
ts a second visit of the condemnation action for the Hrte properly and is necessary for the reconstruction
of tfiat road and bndge over to Trent Ave, that it was discussed et the first meeting that t}us aught be
aecessary or more appropriate to take the entire property as the initial action seemed to restrict the ability
of Mr. Hite to do his business, he said that the City of Spokane concluded it would create difficulties for
Mr. Hite and they felt it was more appropriate to expand the action to the enhre properiy; and thus the
reason for torug6t's achon Mr Connelly said that the change is in the legal description channging it from
the stnp to the entire properiy; and as such, this is also the change which will be incorporated into the
amended interlocal, which is on tomght's agenda as Item #7, and he said we would quit claim the entire
property to the City of Spokane for them to dispose of the property; and he said he feels the change was
anticipated in pnor discussions Mayor Munson invited public comment.

ordinsince wherein it refers to an Exhibit C, the amended interlocal, and that is not included, and he asked
about the previous ordinaace and if the one "whereas" recital was stricken concerning the `good faith"
actions. Mr Connelly explained that the amended interlocal is wcluded with agends #7, and that the
referred to the clause was in faGt omitted pnar to the original ordinance bemg finalized Mr Mte seid he
is in favor of this action, and explained about this process and his need to hire counsel and for hiin to pay
attorney's fees with no real results; that an appra.isal of the property was discussed in Apnl but he has not
been inade aware of those results, and tbat be urges Couecil to pass thts as he has gone througU another
three months of not being able to mn his business wrth knowing what he can or can't do, and he asked
Council to urge the Crty of Spokane to move forward and deal with this in good faith
Jun Richman. Spokane Citv Attomev's office: explained that an offer was extended, which was
significant to acquue the entire properly, but that the offer wasn't accepted, so they filed the
condeaiaation petition and since then, Mr. Hrte was represented by counset so they coald not freely
communicat+e with Mr Hrte, that they bave completed the appratsal and determmed thetr project wiil
meke it difficuh for him to continue at that location and as such, they offered to acquire the entue

explamed that he tned to uicorporate in the attached draft procedure, the discussion and consensus of
council from last week's meeting; that ther+e are several contingencies specifically m paragraph 3 and
since there are more then eight appLcants, t6e original schedule ts the one we wlll foltow, and in response
to conncil questions, it was noted there is no maximum or minimum number of apphGants Counctl may
choose to mterview. Councilmember Gothmann said that in the process of votiag as noted w SecUon C if
there is a vote of three, to one, to one, to one, the neut process would be to select the top duee candidates,
which means one of the people who got one vote would be dropped if there Ls a tie among three, so
perhaps that needs to be covered, to be perhaps determined by lot or some other method, and said there
needs to be a soluhon to address multiple ties Councdmember Dempsey said there is also the possibility
of having a vote result m two, two and two City Attorney Connelly said the only time to flip a coin
would be at the end rather than dwindling the Lst down by a flip of a com or drawmg lots, and he said if
counctl cannot narrow it down to three candidates because of the three, one, one, and one, that Mr
Conaelly suggested putting m some language about dealing with the four candidates, then talce an
additional vote It was also noted that Council concurred that the blank in paragraph CS will be the "City
Manager" who will flip a cotn if aeeded Mr Mercier explamed that if Council waated a nominatoa only

AGENDA ITEM TITLE : 2009 Revenues and Preliminary/Estimated 2010 Revenues and
Expenses
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Stete budget law
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No formal councii action has been taken on the 2010
budget A proposed budget is being reviewed by the City Manager. The City Manager rs
expected to present his preliminary budget to the council on August 11
BACKGROUND: Three pubiic heanngs are planned to gather input from citizens This is a first
touch towards those three public heanngs beginnmg August 11, 2009 Each year staff
prepares estimates of proposed revenues and expenditures for the commg year. These
estimates are presented to the City Counc4l at a public hearing (Aug 11) State budget law
reqwres we make our projections known and conduct a public heanng to consider input from the
public Speaai mention is required of the property tax levy The comparison below reflects the
2009, and esbmated 2010 property tax levies The tax rate is expected to be near
$1 541thousand dollars of assessed value with an assessed value near $7 06 billion
2009 2010
Prop tax levy $10,500,000 $10,799,500
These 2010 estimates reflect an mcrease in the dollars levied of $299,500 (2 9%) over 2009.
The City's actual 2010 levy may be more or less than shown.
Other signrficant changes in General Fund revenue estimates mclude an esbmated decrease m
sales tax reoeipts of $3,480,000 and an estimated decrease in planrnng/building fees of
$388,000
Total expenditures are expected to be down in 2010 because the economy has slowed and less
reai estate excise tax is available for city match on capital improvements Additonal details will
be available at the August 11 public heanng
OPTIONS: State law requires a heanng on 2010 estimated revenues and expendrtures The
heanng is scheduled for August 11.

2 3. What are the three bighest priorities you believe the City needs to address? How would you propase to address
these issaes?
With all the basics of a new Ciiy in ptaoe (Comp Plan, etc.), let's work on improving qualiiy of life issues.
I
1. Unity in the Community. l'm a bridge buitder and c;an help build retationships
within our City and with our neighbors. As we started to do with panhand6ng, the
Cky needs ta take the InWative in educating the public as to the many beneft in
our City. Just as Presjdent Obama insisted on keeping his blackbeny, so we
need to explore dfferent two-way communicatiions with our constituenfs.
' 2. Public Private Pattnerships, invofving govemment, business, and the norr
profits. There ane some things each af these groups can oontribute for the
common good. I'm already doing this through the Ministerial Assoaafion and The
HUB with school dWcts, parks and necxeation departments, S.V. Partners, and
many others.
3, A Sustainable Community. i wilt demonstrate how eoofriendty technology,
~ information, and planning are good fior peopte, #he plangt, and the podcetbaok
(i.e. for society, environment, and the eaonorriy). This can be done withou#
spending additionai millions in tax doflars or by imposing restrictive regulations
on business.
14. Have you ever attmded a meefing of the Spokme Valley City Couacil? YES [Vf~ r
NO
If Ye~ give ga ~ of how many ~neeting~ You f~ave attended in the p~ast yeu: 15. Appointment to the City Coimcl wM require yoiir a~danoe at mmernas regulariy sc,heduled and special
mw#inls, which generally occur on Tuesda.y eveninp. Councilmemben are Wso mpxftd to mgresent the Gity of

-NS~, / ~ Today's Dae:
r,
Why are you tnterested In seMng In this interim podttlon as a Spokane Valley Cfty Councilmember?
8 years ago I signed a pter;e of paper piedging that creattng a City of the Spokane Vatley would be a wise
decision and worked hard to prove to others that it was true.
Shortly after that I put my name In to be one of the first Citj/ Council members but received many
commenb that people admired my interest and enthusiasm but I needed to flnlsh college flrst. In 2004, I
graduated Eastern Washington Universlty with a Bachelors of Science In Computer Sdence and went to
work for Goodrich Aeraspace In their IT DepartmenL
I have afways watched the Clty of Spokane Valley take shape with excltement However with the lack of
candtdate tumout for counctl races and dtsincorporatlon efforts blooming i feel that can help and want
to get more tnvolved
While I haven't been as vlslble In the recent past l believe that wlth my previous invotvement of
gathering of information from other Washington Cities during the incorporation drive, participating In
the Boundary Revlew Boards Flnancial Feasibility Study for tfie potentlal City of Spokane Valley, Ifstentng
/ partlcipadng on the transition committees, and now serving on the Spokane County Fair & Expo Center
Advisory eoard.l have the knowledge J skflls to h{t the ground running.and be a contrlbuting City Councll
rfiember,
What are the three highest priorlties you belleve the City needs to address? Haw would you propose
to address these issues?
1) Flnding revenue to sustainrthe Street Fund -This isn't going to be easy. Just Iike everyone eise,
I don't want any more taxes so there are only two options. Flnd the money elsewhere within the
budget or increase the tax base to generate more revenues (i.e, facllltate more businesses
locating to the Spokane Valley thereby Increasing sales tax revenues). While efforts have been
made to stream line the permltdng processes and regulatory overstght I think more needs to be
done 1 would encourage the use of continuous Improvement or lean actlvitles to analyze
processes and streamline requirements
2) Improve Regional Relations - While the City of Spokane Valley is trytng very hard ta be good
stewards af the taxx payer's money no deal will last if It tsn't a wln-wtn situation. As a cidzen In
the Spokane Valley 1 want to Ilve In a city that not only has good money managemetit skills but Is
a city that is en)oyable and well respected. Wtth a serles of contracts with Spokane County being
termtnated, stories of the city not paying the county for servtces, and other quarrels between
the City of Spokane Vailey and Spokane County are not giving the Ctty a very posidve outlook.
While I do not have details af the history for contract negotiations I believe w(th more regular
open communicadons that tfie relationshlp with the County can be repaired.
3) Distncorporadon Mavement - Whi[e thLs is not something that the aty can address directly I
believe that there are some underfying things that the Clty can do.
Part of the solutton w111 corne wlth better regional relations. A majority of the people that 1 know
who have signed the disincorporation petjtions work for Spokane County, living In the City of
Spokane Valiey, but now fear the aty of Spokane Valley. The City o# Spokane Valiey ts being
identifled as the reason for the oountys flnancial problerns and the cause of their budget cuts /
layoffs. Some oounty employees believe that dtsincorporating tfie dty of Spokane Valley fs the
only way to save thelr job.
Informatlon is key. l applaud your effoKs of trying to get the public invotved / lnformed. Matctng
yourseives available to groups interested In learning more is agreat tdea, especialty with City
Finance 101. While the current dty website has a lot of good information I believe that more can
be done to enhance ft such as:
• Including a sectlon on area enhancements or projects that the City of Spokane Valley
has been able to do that wasWt being planned for under Spokane County.
• Expanding the Myth or Fact setdon to include more situation or rumors that are artsing
from the disincorporation effort.
• Under the budget sectlon give prtor years budgets includtng explanattons of why the
major change In revenues.
• Provide more of an explanatlon includtng the top reasons why the 6 year projected
budget goes negative.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Orcimance revising SVMC 3 50 - Small Works Roster limds
GOVERNING LEGtSLATION: RCW 39 04155 (1)
PREVIOUS COUIdCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of smail works roster purchasing provisions
in 2002, revision in 2007.
BACKGROUND: The Councal previously adopted Code provisions providmg for authonty to
contract for certain public works (those under $200,000) by way of a"small works raster as
authorized in RCW 39 04 155 The purpose of the provisions is to provide some flexibility in
providing for the needs of jurisdictions in the state for getting lower dollar pubiic works under
contract in a shorter amount of time Going through the formal bidding requirements for lower
dollar proJects is not cost effective, and can often cost more than the actual work dself
The statutory limit for such purchases is set at $200,000 per project In 2009, the Legisiature
amended this limrt by mcreasmg it to $300,000 per project This limd had not been increased
smce 2000
Staff recommends mcreasing the limd set forth in SVMC 3 50 040 to coincide with the new limit
set forth in state law, which went mto effect July 26, 2009
OPTIONS: Decline to amend SVMC 3 50, place on agenda for first readmg, other action
deemed appropnate

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2010 Office of Public Defense - Communrty Relicensing
GOVERNING LEGISLATiON:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEtd: The Cd}I has partnered with the City of Spokane and
Spokane County for the past two years on requesting, and receivmg, grarrt funds from the Office
of Public Defense (OPD) to make the City of Spokane's community relicensmg program work
better.
BACKGROUND: In the past, the City has used half the funds awarcled to provide to the
Spokane County Public Defender, who provides the City's indigent defense by contract The
funds were used to hire a part-time clerk who set up a system and paperwork to make referrals
to the City of Spokane's program
As stated m last week's information only update, John Rogers, County Public Defender, advised
OPD, Spokane, and Spokane Valley recentiy that they utilized the funds to set up a system for
referrais to Spokane's program that does not need continued funding Staff is currentiy working
to determine what the possible options are at this point, including a potential partnership with
Spokane to apply for future grant funds to heip fund their program, or whether we recogrnze the
successes and decline to apply for such funds for 2010
I had follow up discussions wdh John Rodgers and Kath Knox, Spokane Public Defender, this
week Mr Rodgers confirmed that they do not need adddional funds for the coming year In
fact, they have about $30,000 in unused funds from this year After consultation with Mr
Rodgers and Ms. Knox, staff recommends drafbng a letter to OPD in support of transferinng the
rernaining funds to the City of Spokane Public Defender so they can continue to process
applicants into the program These applicants would include Cdy of Spokane Valley cases, so
we would continue to benefit from the program
Given this staff recommends not applying for OPD grant funds for 2010 It may be appropnate
m the future to apply for additional funds, and staff will keep the Council updated Staff
considers this to be a successful partnership wnth Spokane County, the City of Spokane, and
the State of Washmgton m addressmg a community problem We will conbnue to look for
similar opportunities in the future

Cross-Fit T'ra.lt2ed Fu-efghter Recturts Hrt the Stteets
The Spokane Valley Fire Departn-lent broke new gxound this year with the 2009-1 Spo-
kane Regional Recnut Academy. A renewed interest i.a focused physical tra.ining was
proposed and developed by Capt. Sean Barrett (an avid Cross-Fitter) in conjunction
with Cross-Fit Spokane. Capt. Barrett and the trainers at Cross-Fit Spokane, Mike
Gerry (trainer/owner) and Brandon Fabian (trainer) developed a Cross-Fit physical fit-
ness program for the recruit firefighters that produced impressive results.
"Cross-Fit is a fimess prograrn focused on marimizing a person's potential in strength,
cardiovascular endurance, respiratory endurance, power, speed, stamina, flexibility, co-
ordination, agiliry, balance, and accuracp. In other words, general all-around athleticism.
By using constantly varied, functional movements ezecuted at high intensity, we can
improve the physical fitness, or what we call general physical preparedness, in everyone
from elite athletes to sedentarp office workers, liids to seniors" said Mike Gerry.
The recruits commented that it was "11 weeks of pure hell", but worth eti erF minute to
prepare them for the physical rigors of the job of firefighter. Spokane Valley Fire-
E fighter Peer Fitness Tra.iners (PFT) were on hand coaching, encouraging, and zvork.ing
out with the recruits 3 days a week . The results are impressive!
• There were no reported injuries during the 11 week academy!
• The recruits collectively lost over 32 pounds of fat and gained 15 pounds of
muscle
• Body fat was reduced by 2.14%
• Flexibility was increased over 28% (specifically the lower back)
• Grip strength up by 14%
• I.eg strength up by 9%
• Core strength increased an average of 27.61io
• Resting heart rate dropped an average of 14 beats per nunute (an indicator of
heart health)

NING DIYISION
In April, the 5pokzne Regional Reuuit Academy started with 5 recnuts from our depzmncnt wd 3 recruits
frotn Spokane Fire. Thc Academy run for 11 weeks, a.nd both dcpartments' Training Divisions were invoh-ed.
Annual traiaing was provided to all firefightets in Confined Space and Trench Rescues.
Duting the month of May, all erews wert evaluated on basic firefighcing skills and competenues at the trzin-
ing center. Thest evaluations sire used to identify strrngths and weaknesses in the unnual training program.
The infoanation is a valuable tool to plan future training. In the last week of MsLp, the Wildlaad firefighting
annual rcfresher course was delivered. Ducing the training, crews received iastniction in the use, care, and
safery of chainsaws. The training was conducted on private propertp. Live fire was used to provide realism
and to help the landowner reduce the fire hazard and risk to neighboring properties. The crews also practiced
fire line construction and reviewed structure protection and safety issues duririg grass, brush, and wildfires.
June's training induded participation in the Nationzl Firefighter Safety, Health, and Survival Week. Dwing
that week, participating 6re departments across the nation focus on uaining issues related to Safety, Health,
and Survival in an attempt to reduce tht number of Liae Of Duty Deaths in the Fire Service. The Recruits
graduated from the academy mid June and were placed on fire engLnes. Thep will have 9 more months of
training assignments and testing while scn-i.ng the remainder of their one yeu probation. The training divisian
was able to acquire pemussiou to train in the Perry Bloc3c building. It has been put to good use by the crews
practicing firefighter skills. It will soon be deinolished.

fighters (Bomberos) in Guatemala. Hemtr In Mahion provides opportunities for firefight- ~
ers to come to the US twice a year to receive firefighter training. Part of the Bombero5 ~
duty was also to escort a young boy to Spokane in need of surgeries that were too ex-

PREYE'Nfi"ION
Matches and Lighters
"More than ninety thousand fires a pear in the United States are started by children curious
about fire, and three thousand of them are injured everq year by fireplay" (NFPA). Teach your
children that matches and lighters are tools for adults and not toys. Re,mind them that if they
find matches or lighters to leave them; not to pick them up; and to tell in adult to make sure
rhep are pickcd up.
Water Safetv
With school out for the summer and thc weather watauag up criough for daily swimming,
experts say, thcre's no better rimc to make water safcty a prioaty for the wholc fnmily. Therc
are thousands of drownings in the U.S. every year, and morc than oae in four of them involve
kids age 14 and under, accordinB to the Centers for Discase Control aad Prevmtioa.
Scoot~r,~ bike and-pedestrian s fe
Scooters, bikes, in-line skates, and skateboards are associated with numerous injuries yeatly.
• Wear a comfortable, properly fitted helmet bearing the label of an independent testing
lab. Be sure that the helmet sits level on top of the head-not rock-ing in any direction-
and always fasten the safety strap.
• Bc sure that safety gear (wrist, elbow, and kneepads) fits properly and does not interfese
with the rider s movement, vision, or bearing. Wrist pads are not recommended for
~ scooter riders as thep may* affect their ability to maneuver.
• Ride scootexs and bik-es on1y on smooth, paved surfaces and only ride during daylight
~ hours.
• Leam the proper hand signals and use them when you tum or stop.
• Come to a complete stop before entering drivewaps, paths, or sidewallks; then look left;
right; and left again for bilk-es, cars, or pedestrians heading your Nvay.
• Teach crossing safety to chi.ldren by exaIIiple.
A dozen tips for keenitng safe in the water this summ1~r
1. Never leave children alone or in the care of another child in the water.
2. Ncver leave standing water where small childrm can fall ia. In addition to pools and lakes, water can pose a
huard in bathtubs, buckets and pails, ice chests with melted ice, toilets, hot tubs, iragation ditches, wells,
ponds and fountains.
3. Keep a fence zt least 4 feet high around swimmi.ng pools, and make sure there aren't any footholds for a child
to climb on. A power safety covu can enhance protection but shouldn't be substituted for a fence.
4. Use a agid lockable cova on a hot tub, spa or a,•hirlpool; or fence them in as you would a pool.
5. Remove toys from a11 pools after swinuning to prevent children from reaching for them.
6. Nrvu allow ading toys or elcctrical appliances near the watcr.
7. Never rely oci swimming aids and inflatablc toys as a substitute for life vests.
8. Adults :hould keep a child urider age 5 within zrm's leogth at all times in the wztu.
9. I.cam two things: How to swim and CPR.
10. Never mix drinkiag alcohol with swi.mming or boating.
11. Make it a rule to forbid diving in a pool that isn't deep enough.
12. Always check weather forecasts before swimming or boating.

CERT
After this past winter, it is hard to think we are in the middle of summer. FEMA (Federal Emergency Manage-
ment Agency) has released the "Critical Days of Sutnmer" reporG Studies show [hat more deadly acudents and
mishaps occur during the busy summer months than any other ti.me of the year. Their campaign focuses on sum-
mer safety in four areas: traffic safety, boating safety, drowning prevention and heat stress prevention. This can be
done by bcing prcpartd FEAZA Administrator Craig Fugate stated "Taking the steps now to ensure that your
family and pour comcnunity are prepared will go a long way during the next emergency. We urge everp American
to take the steps necessary to keep their family safe, which indude getting a kit, making a plan and being informed
and getting involced."
As we approach September, the National Preparedness Month, we can all start looking at helping ourselves, our
families, and aur communicies. If you have web access, you can obtain niore information througb these web sites:

So what exactly rs a Staff Rr'de?
Earlier this year, I had the opporhunity to learn the answer to that question. Long knoum as a way for modem day
militarp leaders to leam from the past through a careful examination of historical battles and the leaders that fought
them. The Staff Ride consists of advanced study of subject matter bp the course participants; a visit to the site as a
gtoup with a knowledge expcrt; and a final project or activiry. Staff Rides are popular in all branches of the militar5r
sen-ice because the battles and decisions that occurred hundreds of years ago still have relcvance to our current
world. The thoughts, plans, and leadership styles of generals and colonels in times past bring their lessons vesy
clearly to the present.
- ~ ; . ~ , .
Staff Rides hace also been used in the last twentp years by those that fight fire as well. The PNWCG (Pacific Northwest Coordi- ~
nation Group) is responsible for the manageinent of the big
~vildfires that occur during the summer in the Pacific Northwest. -f'
Three Spokane Valley Firefighters currendy assist in this effort
~~i~'-•~as mernbers of the Central V7ashington Area Incident Manage- `
ment Team (CWA-IMT) 5. T'l-us is the same type of team that
assisted with the Valley View Fire last July.
Oi•er the last 20 years, Staff Rides hare visited some of the most - -
famous wildland 5re sites and examined the decisions that led to
a terrible loss of either life or property. Fires such as the Mann
Gulch Fire in hiontana, South Canyon Fire in Colorado, or the
30 Mile Fire in Washington have assisted the current crop of fire suppression leaders in learning how to fight a fire
safely and effecti.rely.
This April 27ffi and 28th, I traveled to Gettysburg and participated in the cery first Staff Ride of the Batde of Gettys-
burg for the benefit of the fire senrice. Four 10-person teams from regions around the country conrerged on the
battlefield to extract lessons from the past. In this batde, tve studied how ambiguous instructions and objectives,
lack of adequate intelligence, failure to act quickly, and a lack of situational awareness contributed to the successes or
failures on either side of the batde.
tTpon my return, I was able to share my experience with the officers of the Spoka.ne Valley Fire Department during
our bi-annual All-Officer Meeting, which resulted in sorne spirited discussion. My experience in Gettysbuxg uill also
a.id me as CWA IMT 5 prepares for yet aaother fire season in the Pacific Northwest.
Having experienced my first Staff Ride, I can wholeheartedly saq that the lessons of the past are as valid and tin-iely
as ever, even from ones at nulitary battlefields where events that occurred 140 years ago are studied. Furthextnore, a
Staff Ride is an excellent leaming tool fox reclauning lessons that may otherwise be lost to history, and to prez ent us
from being numbered among those a►ho by not remembering the past are doomed to repeat it.

Spokane Couaty Library District
Spokane Valley Library Servicee and District Support
Report to the City of Spokane Valley
2nd Quarter 2009 ,
Customer use measuree
2009 continued bo be a strong year for library branches in the greater Spokane Valley, as it has for
the District as a whole. Circulation,, door count, and computer booldnge are up by percentages
to the Distnct average. The substantial drop in program attendance refYects staff not
visitmg every school for suminer reading presentations, not regular hbrary programs. As in the
first quarter, reference inquiries contir►ue the roller coasfier ride of the past few years-somebnes
up, sometranes down. The nwonber of cardholders continued to mcrease.

branch was busier again as cusfiomers made their way here to pick up books and use the
Internet

Customer use measures
Posirive customer use measure trends establi.shed earlier tius yeaz aze continuing, led by year-fio-
date increases of 6% for the door count, 8% for circulation, and 9% for software statron bookings.
In addition, meeting room booldngs are up 2696 and website user sessions 129b. Reference
inquiries are now slightly yn the negative column The sharp drop in program atbendance is
attnbutable to not doing summer reading talks in the schools this qear and instead contrnwng our
regular library programming during May.
Adult service8
Programming. Attiendance at the four monthly book club groups for the quarter was 71. The 20
computer instruction classes, which included the debut of "Aficrosoft Word Basics;' had 120
attendees. A"Yovr Library: Working for You in Tough Tunes" open house at Spokane Valley was
presented with the intent of letting the commuruty know about the free resources we offer but due
to a publicity glitch, it wasn't successful in achieving its purgose but was helpful for planning
future such activities. The Adult Summer Readmg program lcicked off in June. Staff presented an
overview of business resources to the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce NxLeveL@
Entrepreneur Training class.

Youth services
Frogmmming: Play and Leam Storybmes began in May at Fairfield, Otis Orchards, Spokane
Valley, Cheney, and Deer Pazk with atbendance ranging from 6- 75 children and cazegivers.
These storytimes are an exbension of regiilar preschool sfiarytimes that also include time for the
caregivers/pazents to play and do an activity together. We held a well-atbended STARS childcare
woxker training on the "Six Skills of Eazly Lifieracy for Preschoolers:" The Suinmes Reading
schedule began at the end of june, but there were only two days of programming due to the late
end of the school pear. Born Learning trails went in this month at Otis Orchards and Deer Pazk.
Community: School superintendents, principa]s, and librarians across Spokane County were sent
letbers asking them to assist tts in promoting Summer Reading by sendulg flyers home with their
students. Almost all agreed to hand out our flyers to each child with Central Valley School
District the only exception due to iffi pohcy. Staff inet with Community Minded Enterpnses and
ESD 101 staff to discuss unplementation of the Plaq and Learn groups and collaborating at the
Unity in the Comrnunity event in August, as well as Valleyfest.

Trustees proposed a contract fee deferral arrangement coupled with a library district annexation
vote, consistent with action taken for Millwood in the aud 1990s. The proposal was still pendutg
at the end of the quarter.
Spokane Valley Librazy parking
We were unofficially infornned by the state Department of Revenue that SCLD isn't eligible for the
property tax exemption expected for the teased Spokane Valley Library parldng area due to the
departmenrs defmition of "free public library;" the phrase used in the applicable statute (RCW
82.36.040). The 2008 property tax is $960.92; for 2009 it's $952.73.

docvments related to the transaction, including email. 100 potentially relevant docwnents (emails,
reports, contTacts, minutes, etc,) were sent fio attorney Jun Sloane to review and forward prior to
the june 24 subpoena deadline.
20091egislative session
Sunday, Apri126 was the final daq of the Legislative session, one whvse focus was the filling the
forecasted $9 billion budget gap. Fortunately, there's no state funchng for public libraries.

Re: June Report
Jwne highlights in Finaace included:
Financial reports
Reports shovving a comparison of revenues and eupenditures, to the 6-30-2009 Budget, are attached.
Beginning fund balance in the General Fund will be greater than we anticipated (2008 t+evenue was
greater than our estunate, and expenditures were less thsn budgot). Sales tax receipts for 2009 ac+e 12%
less then budge#ed Planning end Buildmg fees are also less than anticipated. Gambling tax receipts are
slow as two casinos struggle to make ends meet. The increase in beginning fund balance will offset these
sbortages.
A comparison of sales ffix receipts for 2008 and 2009 has been attached for your review.
Real esute excise tax receipts (for capital projects) were budgeted at $160,000/month for 2009, based on
receipts in 2008. Actual receipts are nmning closer to $70,000lmanth which means we need to consider
slowiag capital work, finding another revenue source or delaying some projects.
The investment report is aLso attached for yonr review.
2010 Budget vrevaration
Departments are working on theu 2010 budgets We wiU be ia a"holduig pattem" for operations to avoid
creating grsater financial problems down the road. If the economy recovers we expect our revenues will
bounce back as well. This may take a few years
Iiutiative 1033, which appears to have qualified for the ballot, would restrict our General Fund which
pays far most of our operating departments (except streets and storm water). This initiative would require
governments to reduce their groperty tax levy by die amount that other revenues exceed an inflationary
cap. Thus, an increase in sales tax (or other general fund revenue) would reduce our property tex
revenue. We will be monitoring this measute.
Street fund telephone utilitv tax
A telephone utility tax was passed by the council i.n 2008. This tax is dedicated to the Street Fund.
The City has received reports from telephone service providers, reporting their gross sales and payiqg
their tax These receipts are numing approximately $230,000 per month which is on terget for our $2.5 +
million projected income for 2009.

VaHey sECONO QuARTER REPORT 2009
ADMINISTRATION AND PARKS:
• The design for the Discovery Playground was completed, and plans and

year terms. Council approved the new agreement on May 19.

required a significant amount of time, effort, and commitment between ORB
Architects, Kilgore Construction, Pool World, the YMCA, Senske, and city staff.

park received a new picnic shelter, playground equipment, security lighting,
circulatjon paths, and landscaping. We have received many positive comments from
the public regarding all the improvements.

CENTERPLACE:
• CenterPlace hosted the Spokane Metro Magazine Release Party in the Great Room on
May 7. It was the first time the magazine held its party at a venue not in the downtown
area. Approximately 150-200 people attended, and it was a great opportunity for
CenterPlace to showcase our facility to business people from the area.
• Carol Carter, Customer Relations/Facility Coordinator, met with the Spokane Convention
and Visitor's Bureau and the Spokane Valley hoteliers. The meefing was for the CVB to -
showcase flyers they printed that had hotels information on one side and CenterPlace
information on the other. The flyers will be given to the Spokane Valley hotels to
promote the use of CenterPlace as a regional event center.
• The presentation system in the Great Room has been rewired so it can be set up in the
front or back of the room, instead of in the middle of the room. This setup will be more
conducive for our business presentation-style events. We are also working with our IT
department to upgrade the presentation system and install electronic reader boards in
the lobby. This will not only improve customer service, but can provide information
about CenterPlace on weekends and evenings when events are in the building.
• The women's locker room was converted into a green room/changing room for groups.
The room is carpeted and furnished with comfortable furniture and a full-sized mirror. It
has been a welcome addition to the facility.
• CenterPlace staff took 180 reservations this quarter which is a 15% increase for the same
time period last year. The breakdown of 2007-2009 events are as follows: -
