AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing #2 on 2019 Budget.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State budget law.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No formal Council action has been taken on the 2019
Budget.
BACKGROUND: This marks the fifth occasion where the Council will discuss the 2019 Budget
and by the time the Council is scheduled to adopt the 2019 Budget on November 13, 2018,
Council will have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three
public hearings to gather input from citizens:
• June 12 Council Budget Retreat
• August 21 Admin report: Estimated 2019 revenues and expenditures
• September 11 Public hearing #1 on 2019 revenues and expenditures
• September 25 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2019 Budget
• October 9 Public hearing #2 on 2019 Budget
• October 23 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2019 Budget
• November 13 Public hearing #3 on 2019 Budget
• November 13 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2019 Budget
This evening's meeting represents the second public hearing on the 2019 Budget and the
purpose of the hearing is to consider input from the public on the proposed 2019 budget.
2019 Budget Overview:
• The 2019 Budget currently includes appropriations of $78,269,865 including $20,603,882 in
capital expenditures, comprised in -part of:
o $5,432,987 in Fund #303 Street Capital Projects.
o $1,812,095 in Fund #309 Park Capital Projects.
o $7,238,200 in Fund #311 Pavement Preservation including $972,300 financed by the
General Fund.
o $4,700,000 in Fund #314 Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $1,282,600 in Stormwater Management Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund
#403 projects.
• To partially offset the $20,603,882 in capital costs we anticipate $10,974,189 in grant
revenues which results in 53.26% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 4.50 from 89.25 in 2018 to
93.75 in 2019. This includes the reduction of a vacant administrative assistant position in
the City Manager's office from 1.0 to 0.5 FTE, and the addition of 5.0 FTEs requested by the
Community and Public Works Department that are necessary to meet project needs going
1
into the future and of these, the wage related costs of 3.1 FTEs will be paid through capital
project that are in large part financed with grant revenues dedicated to those projects. Of
the 5 additional FTEs:
o 2 will be engineers with wages allocated 20% each to the Engineering Division in the
General Fund (for an increase of 0.4 FTEs) and 80% to the Street Capital Projects Fund
#303 (for an increase of 1.6 FTEs). The primary responsibilities of these positions will
be to focus on capital projects.
o 3 will be construction inspectors with wages allocated 50% each to the Street Capital
Projects Fund #303 (for an increase of 1.5 FTEs) and 50% each to the Street Fund #101
(for an increase of 1.5 FTEs). During the construction season (April through October)
the primary responsibility of these positions will be to focus on capital projects. During
winter season operations (November to March) the primary responsibility of these
positions will be snow operations and winter maintenance.
o It is noteworthy that these 5.0 additional FTEs are largely necessary to meet capital
construction needs that are in large part grant financed. If at some point in the future the
number and/or magnitude of capital projects decreases due to reduced grant
opportunities or some other currently unforeseen circumstance, we will begin to
eliminate these positions.
The FTE count is allocated among City funds as follows:
General Fund #001
Street O&M Fund #101
Street Capital Projects Fund #303
Stormwater Fund #402

Street Fund is anticipated to be $2,101,100.
• Telephone Tax revenues remitted to the City that supports Street Fund operations and
maintenance are anticipated to be $1,700,000.
• Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenues that are in large part used to match grant financed
street projects are anticipated to total $2,000,000.

• Hotel / Motel Tax revenues that are dedicated to the promotion of visitors and tourism are
anticipated to be $990,000 ($600,000 in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund #105 and $390,000 in the
Hotel/Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104).
• Stormwater Management Fees that are estimated at $1,890,000.
• Aquifer Protection Area Fees are estimated at $460,000.
• Grant Revenues offsetting capital project costs are estimated at $10,974,189
o Fund #303 — Street Capital Projects - $4,408,681
o Fund #309 — Parks Capital Projects - $572,308
o Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation - $1,820,000
o Fund #314 — RR Grade Separation Projects - $3,750,000
o Fund #402 — Stormwater Fund - $106,000
o Fund #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund - $317,200
Funding Challenges:
• Declining revenues in the Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our ability to deliver
historic levels of service. Fund #101 is dependent upon motor vehicle fuel tax revenues and
telephone utility tax revenues.
o Motor vehicle fuel taxes have increased slightly due to recent State legislation; however,
they are generally flat or declining in recent years due to improvements in vehicle fuel
mileage.
o Telephone utility taxes have been declining at an average of 5.18% per year from 2009
through 2017. We believe the decline is primarily due to the elimination of land lines by
individual households. The revenues from this tax reached a high of $3.1 million in 2009
(the year the tax was implemented) and is currently estimated to generate $1.7 million in
2019.
o At the June 12, 2018 Budget Workshop, Council requested that Staff prepare a 2019
Street O&M Fund Budget that continues to deliver historic levels of services despite the
fact that telephone utility tax revenues have continued to decline. At that time Council
was aware that recurring revenues were substantially exceeded by recurring
expenditures and asked Staff to prepare a budget that resolves this funding imbalance
with a one-time transfer during 2019 of Capital Reserve Fund #312 money. The
necessary transfer is $907,544 and this is reflected in both Fund numbers 101 and 312.
• Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs.
o Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is relying more heavily on REET revenues due to an
elimination of the contribution from the Street Fund #101 related to declining revenues
and an elimination of contributions from the Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123. The
fund balance in Fund #123 was entirely depleted at the end of 2016, and the fund was
closed during 2017.
o Reliance on REET revenues to fund pavement preservation in Fund #311 limits the
City's ability to provide match funding for State and Federal grants received for other
street projects.
o Railroad grade separation projects (overpasses and underpasses) are exceptionally
expensive endeavors and are largely beyond the City's ability to finance through existing
sources of revenue. The City has secured funding for the Barker Rd. Grade Separation
project; however, funding is still needed for other grade separation projects within the
City.
OPTIONS: State law requires a public hearing on the proposed 2019 budget; and this is the
second of such hearings.

City Manager's Budget Message
2019 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
It is with pleasure that I present the attached 2019 Budget for the City of Spokane Valley. The
City remains financially strong and continues to benefit from a history of prudent financial
decisions that have been made since our 2003 incorporation. Consistently responsible
budgeting and restrained spending have again helped us achieve the key Fiscal Policies noted
in the following pages.
The City of Spokane Valley continues to be an excellent example of how a City provides key
services to the community while holding down taxes, fees and other charges. Additionally, our
per capita employee count and personnel expenses are among the lowest (if not the lowest) of
comparable size cities in the state and around the U.S.
We recognize that to ensure continued financial stability, it is imperative that we achieve two key
goals within our General Fund:
1. Recurring annual revenues must be greater than or equal to recurring annual expenditures,
and
2. The ending General Fund fund balance must be sufficient enough to meet cash flow needs
which is no less than 50% of recurring expenditures and represents roughly six months of
General Fund operations.
I am pleased to report that each of these goals have again been achieved in the 2019 General
Fund Budget.
Beyond recurring operating activity, and due to our exceptionally strong financial position, we
have been afforded the opportunity to use the portion of the General Fund fund balance that
exceeds 50% for capital construction expenditures that are important to the City Council and
Community. Since 2013, City Councils have made the decision to transfer $20.7 million of
excess General Fund reserves to partially finance a variety of projects including each phase of
the Appleway Trail, Sullivan Road West Bridge Replacement, Appleway Avenue Landscaping,
construction of a new City Hall, the future Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project, and
beginning to set money aside for the Pines/BNSF Grade Separation Project, Barker Corridor
Project and development of Balfour Park.

Fiscal Policies
Fiscal Health is at the Core of Providing a Good Public Service
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength
of Spokane Valley. These policies set a framework that the City will follow to responsibly
manage resources and if necessary, under what circumstances we will utilize reserves to
sustain operations during economic downturns.
Financial Management
The City will strive to:
1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success.
2. Minimize personnel costs and overhead by continuing to contract for services when it makes
financial sense to do so.
3. Continue the six-year Business Plan process.
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy.
o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on
assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley carries an exceptionally low
debt burden and currently utilizes only 1.98% of its total debt capacity, and more
importantly, only 9.88% of non -voted bond capacity.
6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize the mid -year
addition of projects and appropriations.
Financial Objectives
The City's financial objectives are:
1. Adopt a General Fund Budget with recurring revenues equal to, or greater than recurring
expenditures.
2. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Fund Balance of at least 50% of the recurring
expenditure budget. This is adequate to meet cash flow needs and is the equivalent of six
months of general fund operations.
3. If necessary, utilize a portion of the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund ($5.5 million)
to maintain ending fund balance minimum.
4. Commitment to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund will not be
reduced below $3.3 million (60% of $5.5 million).
5. Maintain the 2019 property tax assessment the same as 2018 with the exception of new
construction. As in the previous nine years, the City will forego the one -percent annual
increase to property tax allowable by RCW 84.52.050. We anticipate this will result in a levy
of $11,804,400 plus estimated new construction of $250,000 for a total levy of $12,054,400.
The allowable potential increase will be banked for future use as provided by law. This
represents the tenth consecutive year that we have not increased our City property
tax assessment.
6. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs.
Commitment — By committing to these policies and the checks and balances they afford, the
City will ensure financial sustainability well into the future.

2019 Budget Highlights
City Priorities
The City's chief budget priorities are public safety, pavement preservation, transportation and
infrastructure (including railroad grade separations and park related projects) and economic
development. Ensuring that we've committed adequate resources to these activities accounts
for much of the effort that Council and Staff collectively dedicate to the annual development of
our Business Plan and Operating and Capital budgets.
Moderate Growth in Recurring General Fund Expenditures
Investing in essential core services identified by the Council and Community establishes the
baseline expenditures we have included in this budget. Similar to the trend experienced in most
jurisdictions, we find that the cost of providing these services often increases at a faster rate than
the moderate growth we see in the underlying tax revenues that support these core services.
With that said however, City staff and Council collectively strive to meet the challenge of
continuing to provide historic levels of service and we will again meet this challenge in 2019 where
we anticipate recurring revenues will increase over those of 2018 by 5.79%, while expenditures
increase by just 1.93%. Increases at the point of budget adoption over the past 5 -years have
been:
2019 compared to 2018
2018 compared to 2017
2017 compared to 2016
2016 compared to 2015
2015 compared to 2014

Public Safety Costs
Over the years Council has consistently committed to the maintenance and at times enhancement
of public safety service levels and this is again reflected in the 2019 Budget where public safety
costs including law enforcement, courts, prosecution, public defense and jail related services total
$25,927,304 which is an amount equal to 215% of anticipated property tax collections (=
$25,927,304 / $12,054,400).

The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 4.50 from 89.25 in 2018 to 93.75
in 2019. This includes the reduction of a vacant administrative assistant position in the City
Manager's office from 1.0 to 0.5 FTE, and the addition of 5.0 FTEs requested by the Community
and Public Works Department that are necessary to meet project needs going into the future and
of these, the wage related costs of 3.1 FTEs will be paid through capital project that are in large
part financed with grant revenues dedicated to those projects. Of the 5 additional FTEs:
• 2 will be engineers with wages allocated 20% each to the Engineering Division in the General
Fund (for an increase of 0.4 FTEs) and 80% to the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 (for an
increase of 1.6 FTEs). The primary responsibilities of these positions will be to focus on
capital projects.
• 3 will be construction inspectors with wages allocated 50% each to the Street Capital Projects
Fund #303 (for an increase of 1.5 FTEs) and 50% each to the Street Fund #101 (for an
3
increase of 1.5 FTEs). During the construction season (April through October) the primary
responsibility of these positions will be to focus on capital projects. During winter season
operations (November to March) the primary responsibility of these positions will be snow
operations and winter maintenance.
• It is noteworthy that these 5.0 additional FTEs are largely necessary to meet capital
construction needs that are in large part grant financed. If at some point in the future the
number and/or magnitude of capital projects decreases due to reduced grant opportunities
or some other currently unforeseen circumstance, we will begin to eliminate these positions.
The FTE count is allocated among City funds as follows:
General Fund #001
Street O&M Fund #101
Street Capital Projects Fund #303
Stormwater Fund #402

Taking into consideration that we contract for police services and are served by Fire Districts and
a Library District, for a major city we operate substantially below the normal employee count and
consequently at a significantly reduced payroll cost relative to many cities across the country.
The personnel costs for the 74.03 FTEs charged to the General Fund represent just 20.4% of
recurring expenditures. Spokane Valley staff levels average about one employee for every 1,044
citizens (= population of 97,847 per the Census Bureau / 93.75 FTEs) while comparably sized
cities in the State of Washington have a much higher ratio of employees to citizens.
Since incorporation, the City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff and
continues to have the lowest per capita employee count of any Washington city with a
population of 50,000 or greater. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is a lean,
productive City government.
Pavement Preservation
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated spending of general fund, special revenue fund and capital
project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of financing our street preservation efforts.
In 2019, our citizens will again see an aggressive program of repaving our roadways. Some
may question paving roads that "don't look so bad" but the truth is the best time to repave is
before a road deteriorates to the point that full reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction
can cost substantially more than pavement preservation treatments such as crack sealing or
grinding and repaving. This is why the City of Spokane Valley has committed critical financial
resources to the preservation of our transportation infrastructure. We hope you are as proud of
our fine road system as we are!
For 2019, we project total revenues in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 of $5,760,900 that
combined with $1,527,300 of fund reserves will be applied against $7,288,200 in projected
expenditures. Sources of revenue in 2019 include $1,820,000 in grant proceeds, $1,500,000
from the Street Wear fee that was adopted by Council in 2018, and $2,440,900 in transfers from
other City funds consisting of:
4
• $972,300 from the General Fund
• $734,300 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
• $734,300 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
While Pavement Preservation is one of our critical service and budget priorities we find that
sustaining adequate levels is a constant challenge and I address this in the portion of this
budget message titled "Challenges".
Transportation and Infrastructure
The 2019 Budget includes $20,603,882 of capital expenditures that we anticipate will be in -part
offset with $10,974,189 in grant revenues which results in 53.26% of capital projects being
financed with State and Federal dollars. The projects we'll work on in 2019 include:
• $5.4 million in Street Capital Projects Fund #303
• $1.8 million in Park Capital Projects Fund #309
• $7.2 million in Pavement Preservation Fund #311
• $4.7 million in Grade Separation Projects Fund #314
• $1.3 million in Stormwater Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund #403
Challenges
Beyond the annual challenge of balancing the General Fund budget, the City of Spokane Valley
has a number of on-going financial challenges.
1. Declining revenues in Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our future ability to deliver
historic service levels
This Fund depends upon a combination of gas and telephone tax receipts.
• Because the gas tax is a flat amount per gallon, and because each generation of newer
vehicles get better gas mileage, we find our gas tax revenues have recently hovered
somewhere between either flat or declining. Due to the 2015 State Legislature's
increase in the gas tax we've seen a bit of an increase in this revenue source with a
2019 revenue projection of $2,092,300 which represents an increase of $157,300 (or
8.1%) over 2015 revenues of $1,935,000.
• The 6% telephone utility tax generated $3.1 million in the first year of collections in 2009.
Since that time however we have experienced a decline averaging 5.18% per year and
at this point are projecting 2019 revenues of just $1,700,000. We believe the decline is
primarily due to the elimination of land lines by individual households.
• At the June 12, 2018 Budget Workshop, Council discussed the fact that Street O&M
Fund recurring revenues were substantially exceeded by recurring expenditures but
were interested in continuing to deliver historic levels of service despite the fact that
telephone utility tax revenues have continued to decline. Council asked Staff to prepare
a budget that resolves this funding imbalance with a one-time transfer during 2019 of
Capital Reserve Fund #312 money. The necessary transfer is $907,544 and this is
reflected in both Fund numbers 101 and 312.
• Determining "how" to fully finance Street O&M Fund #101 beyond 2019 will continue to
be a Council conversation.

2. Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs
• Pavement preservation has historically been financed from a combination of sources
including:
o General Fund dollars,
o Street O&M Fund dollars,
o Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 (Fund #123) reserves that were dedicated
towards this purpose until their depletion in 2016.
o Real estate excise tax (REET) revenues,
o Grant revenues, and
o Beginning in 2018, the addition of a street wear fee that was negotiated by the City
as part of an updated solid waste collection contract that recognized the damage that
heavily laden garbage trucks do to our road system.
o Following is a table that reflects pavement preservation related revenues over the 9 -
year period 2011 through 2019:

• The City used the Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 reserves over the 4 -year period
2013 through 2016 in order to give the City time to determine how best to finance the
pavement preservation plan in 2017 and beyond.
• Heavy reliance on REET revenues began in 2017 following the depletion of Fund #123
reserves.
• Although we currently exist in a robust economy that includes near record REET
collections, we realize that as the economy wanes in the future, so will REET revenues.
As a consequence, overly relying on REET revenues may in the future limit the City's
ability to provide the necessary match needed for State and Federal grants that are
applied to other street construction and reconstruction projects.
• Over the past 10-12 years Spokane Valley has struggled to develop a pavement
management plan that clearly delineates the pavement condition index (PCI) that should
be maintained throughout our road system and define the amount of money we should
dedicate annually to achieve that plan. The first studies initially estimated the annual
cost to be in excess of $10 million per year but as recently as 2016 the estimated cost
was reduced to $6.8 million.
6
• Even though the City's investment in our pavement preservation program has fallen
short of $6.8 million per year we find that the PCI is not in a free fall and is in fact holding
fairly steady at 71.
• The City is currently reevaluating our pavement preservation plan with the intent of
refining the PCI across local access, collectors and arterials, and formulating a more
realistic cost to maintain these. Staff plan to come before Council in early 2019 to report
the results.
• The desired outcome of the updated pavement preservation plan is to assist Council and
Staff in determining the ideal PCI for the different street classifications and the cost to
maintain each. Following that, Council and Staff will work collectively to determine how
to finance the plan.
3. Railroad Grade Separation Proiects (overpasses and underpasses)
Bridging the Valley is a proposal to separate vehicle traffic from train traffic in the 42 mile
corridor between Spokane and Athol, ID. The separation of railroad and roadway grades in
this corridor is intended to promote future economic growth, traffic movement, traffic safety,
aquifer protection in the event of an oil spill, and train whistle noise abatement. The
underlying study outlined the need for a grade separation at four locations in Spokane
Valley. The most recent estimates peg the total cost of these projects at $88.8 million
including:
• Barker and Trent Road Overpass (estimated cost of $19.0 to $24.7 million),
• Pines and Trent Underpass (estimated cost of $29.0 million),
• Sullivan Road Overpass improvements (estimated cost of $16.1 million), and
• Park Road Overpass (estimated cost of $19.0 million)
Because grade separation projects are exceptionally expensive endeavors and largely
beyond our ability to finance solely through existing sources of internal revenue, the City has
pursued grant funding from both the Federal and State Government over the past several
years.
Barker/Trent Grade Separation Proiect
We reached the point of being fully funded for this project in early 2018 and the final design
phase is underway. Design will continue through 2019 and right-of-way acquisition should
begin in 2019. Construction will begin no later than 2020. Revenue sources are comprised
of the following:
Barker Grade Separation Project Financing Sources
City of Spokane Valley
General Fund reserves
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET)
Total from Spokane Valley
Federal Earmark
2017 WA Legislature appropriation
National Highway Freight Program
TIGER 9

9,020,000
3,800,000
$ 24,671,000
Pines / Trent Grade Separation Project
Progress to date includes:
• The City has set aside $3,185,000 towards what we currently anticipate will be a $29.0
million project. Sources include the following:
Pines Grade Separation Project Financing Sources
City of Spokane Valley
2016 General Fund Property acquisition $ 500,000
2017 General Fund dedication 1,200,000
2017 Genera Fund allocation of
fund balance > 50% 721,000
2018 General Fund allocation of
fund balance > 50% 764,000
Total from Spokane Valley $ 1,485,000
• In late 2016 the City acquired property valued at approximately $500,000 that was
applied to the acquisition of property that will in -part satisfy the right-of-way needs for
this project.
• On July 11, 2017 Council approved a Phase 1 contract with an engineering firm valued
at $124,000 with a scope of services that calls for evaluating two potential sites, each of
which includes a roundabout and signalized intersection alternative. The end result of
the study will be a final recommended option with a revised cost estimate. Council will
make the final choice of the alternative chosen. Following this, we will enter the second
design phase where the City will contract with an engineering firm to take the Council
adopted alternative to a 100% design.
• Future property acquisitions will be necessary during the right-of-way phase of the
project but this cannot be determined until the final phase of the design is well underway.
• The City has applied for a variety of both state and federal grants including the TIGER,
FASTLANE and INFRA programs.
• Grant application currently outstanding include:
o SRTC — application is for right-of-way in the amount of $3.8 million (90% of the
estimated total cost of $4.2 million).
o BUILD — application is for the $23.2 million which is 80% of the estimated project cost.
o CRISI 1 — application is for design in the amount of $1.25 million (50% of the
estimated total cost of $2.5 million).
o CRISI 2 - application is for design in the amount of $1.25 million (50% of the
estimated total cost of $2.5 million).
• We will continue to apply for grant programs as they become available. We are hopeful
that having a 100% design will make us more competitive as we will then have a "shovel
ready" project.
Economic Development
To the best of our ability we focus on business retention and expansion of existing businesses
and recruitment of new businesses. Examples of ongoing and future economic development
efforts are as follows:
8
Comprehensive Plan — In the latter part of 2016 the City updated its Comprehensive Plan and
included an economic development element. Contained within this element is a summary of the
local economy; an assessment of strengths and weaknesses; and policies, programs and
projects to foster economic growth. The plan also included implementation strategies to
improve retail, enhance tourism, and grow businesses in the City. Among other things, the plan
also streamlined land uses by consolidating many zones and reducing many development
requirements. Additionally the plan was also designed to provide flexibility in an effort to
encourage market driven growth.
Retail Recruitment — In 2017 the City expanded into the area of Retail Recruitment by
contracting with a firm specializing in this type of service. The services we are seeking in this
effort include a review of the retail recruitment strategy; conducting a market and retail gap
analysis; development of a recruitment plan; identification of a strategic retail prospect list; and
recruitment of retail on behalf of the City. We have included money in the 2019 Budget to
continue this effort.
WA State Department of Commerce Environmental Permitting Grant — In the latter part of
2016 the City received a $114,200 grant from the Department of Commerce that with an
additional investment of $55,000 from the City, will result in a streamlined environmental
permitting process in the northeast industrial area of our community. This study will complete
the environmental permitting requirements for the northeast industrial area, ultimately leading to
the development of a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) that will save industrial developers a
minimum of 6 weeks permitting time while providing a predictable path to ensure that adequate
infrastructure is in place to serve the expected developments. Completion of the PAO will allow
the properties to be marketed as truly "shovel ready".
The Budget for 2019
Strong but Guarded
Recognizing that fiscal health is at the core of providing good public services, one of the most
important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to maintain basic
services during an economic downturn. The creation and ongoing maintenance of financial
reserves since incorporation has served the intended purpose of providing Spokane Valley the
means to sustain critical public services during turbulent economic conditions and this served
the City well during the Great Recession that began in 2008. The 2019 budget again reflects a
prudent and guarded increase in continuation of service delivery capabilities. These increases
are carefully considered and well within the means of the City. Service delivery cannot grow
faster than the economic development of the City.
We are cognizant of the fact that we are now in the longest economic expansion in United
States history and at this point, with each passing day we are closer to the next economic
downturn. Given this, we will remain vigilant in our observance of local, state and national
events and economic trends that may impact our own community and work towards capitalizing
on our strengths, minimizing our weaknesses, and being ever watchful towards both threats and
opportunities.
9
Balanced Budget
Means exactly what it says — operating expenses have been balanced with known or
reasonably predictable revenues with no increase in property tax or in sales tax rates for the
City. The budget is designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year-end
providing for the City's cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal
responsibility, special attention is given to limiting the growth in new programs and financial
commitments. This approach allows available resources to be put toward sustaining services
consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2019 and beyond.
Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the Community, City Council and Staff for a long history of
financially responsible spending and sensible fiscal planning. By saving and conserving the
taxpayers' money, and by adopting and adhering to prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City
can provide essential services and balance its budget for many years to come.
The City Council continues to set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the
City. The management staff and employees have worked together to develop the Business
Plan and 2019 Budget recommendations to achieve the Council's ongoing goal of sustainability.
I hope the Citizens of Spokane Valley are proud of the programs and strong financial condition
of their City. We invite your examination and questions regarding the 2019 Budget.
Respectfully,
Mark Calhoun
City Manager

TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2019 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and
community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget
for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect
the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document,
the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-
day activities of the City staff.
2. It is an Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have
been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will
help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to
each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations.
The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future
implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light,
preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of
the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget
and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal
authority to expend public monies and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the
appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash
carry -forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account unforeseen
contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
2019 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of
government that the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following
year. However, with the volatility that was seen in the economy with the Great Recession, the
City moved to a Budget development process that consciously reviews service levels in each
department and determines the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to
available resources.
11
The 2019 Budget development process began at the February 13, 2018 Council workshop where
among other topics, Council and staff discussed the budget in general terms. In mid-April 2018
the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2019 revenue and expenditure
estimates were due by mid-May. Through the balance of May and early June, the City Manager's
office and Finance Department worked to prepare budget worksheets that were communicated
to the City Council at a Budget workshop held June 12, 2018. Following the workshop, the
Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue and
expenditure estimates and through July and August, the Finance Department and City Manager
reviewed updated budget projections.
By the time the 2019 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 13, 2018, the Council will
have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings
to gather input from citizens:
June 12
August 21

First reading on ordinance adopting the 2019 Budget
Public hearing #3 on the 2019 Budget
Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2019 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the
public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage.
Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department
directors to ensure that actual expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The
Finance Department provides the City Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep
them abreast of the City's financial condition and individual department compliance with approved
appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council
ordinance following a public hearing.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the
City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease
the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding
one public hearing.
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
• Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with
City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are
approved.
12
• The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and
administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State
of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices.
• The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating
solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
• Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
• Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process
at the fund level prior to fiscal year end.
• The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent friendly format.
• No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt.
Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
• The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to
replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required
contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in
difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years.
• The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the
State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20,
and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of
double -entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures
or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of
Spokane Valley:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local
government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial
flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities
are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds
measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues
and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current
assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
13
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial
resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular
activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
• #101 — Street Fund
• #103 — Paths & Trails Fund
• #104 — Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund
• #105 — Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
• #106 — Solid Waste Fund
• #107 — PEG Fund
• #120 — CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
• #121 — Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
• #122 — Winter Weather Reserve Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt.
Debt Service Funds are comprised of the #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund.
4. Capital Proiect Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
• #301 — REET 1 Capital Projects Fund
• #302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
• #303 — Streets Capital Projects Fund
• #309 — Parks Capital Projects Fund
• #310 — Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
• #311 — Pavement Preservation Fund
• #312 — Capital Reserve Fund
• #313 — City Hall Construction Fund
• #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
Proprietary Fund Types
A second type of fund classification is the Proprietary Funds that are used to account for
activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is
to finance the full cost of providing services based on the commercial model which uses a
flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the
proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both
current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their
reported fund equity (total net assets) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted and invested
in capital assets classifications. As described below, there are two generic fund types in this
category:
14
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public
and are supported primarily by user charges. This type of fund includes:
• #402 — Stormwater Management Fund
• #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments
or funds of the City. This type of fund includes:
• #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
• #502 — Risk Management Fund
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in
the accounting system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
• Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
• Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise and internal service funds. Under this
system revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when
cash is either received or disbursed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a
modified cash basis of accounting for budget purposes and Proprietary Funds utilizing a
working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures, and
annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund #001
• Property Tax
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits
the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of up to
$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting up to $0.50 for
the Library District, which leaves the City with the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own
purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the
levy year.
• Retail Sales and Use Tax
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.8%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the
vendor to the Washington Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the
various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the 8.8% tax rate to the
agencies is as follows:
15
State of Washington
City of Spokane Valley
Spokane County
Criminal Justice
Spokane Public Facilities District
Public Safety
Juvenile Jail
Mental Health

2.30% local tax
• Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes,
such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail
sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the
receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County
and cities within the County.
• Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to
public safety purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the
total amount collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the
remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.
• Gambling Tax
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to
gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes
may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly
to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a
tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes);
Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Punchboards and Pull tabs (5% gross, less prizes);
Amusement Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (6% gross).
• Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's
share).
• Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This
is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public
properties.
16
• State -Shared Revenues
State -shared revenues are received from liquor sales, marijuana revenues, and motor vehicle
excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local
governments based on population. State -shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly
or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the
quarter. The 2018 population figure used in the 2019 Budget is 95,810 as reported by the
Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1, 2018. This figure is
important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
• Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings, false alarm fees, and
other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State,
with the City, on average, retaining less than 50% of the amount collected.
• Community Development
Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan
reviews, and right-of-way permits.
• Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These
fees offset direct costs related to providing the program.
• CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include
regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms,
the great room and dining rooms.
• Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior
to the distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund #101
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of
this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2018
the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be
$21.93 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 95,810 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2018) we anticipate the City will
collect $2,101,100 in 2019. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2019 revenue estimate this computes to
$8,800. The balance of $2,092,300 will be credited to Fund #101 for street maintenance and
operations.
17
• Telephone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with
collections beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the
City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at $1.7 million for 2019.
Paths & Trails Fund #103
Cities are required to spend 0.42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please
see the explanation for Street Fund #101) which we anticipate will be $8,800 in 2019. Because
the amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State
distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104
The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be
used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to or other related
capital expenditures for large sporting venues, or venues for tourism -related facilities. This tax is
estimated to generate $390,000 in 2019.
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #105
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5%
state sales tax, so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax
combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax
may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of
tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $600,000 in 2019.
Solid Waste Fund #106
Under the City's contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine
Recyclers, Inc., Sunshine pays an annual contract administrative fee of $125,000 to the City. Also,
under the City's contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of
Washington, Inc., Waste Management pays an administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. This
fee shall be used by the City for costs related to solid waste services, including costs for contract
administration, solid waste planning and management, and for a portion of the City's street
preservation and maintenance programs. Of the amounts collected under the fee, no more than
1% of gross receipts may be used for contract administration.
PEG Fund #107
Under the City's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City in a capital contribution
in support of Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements an amount equal to $0.35
per subscriber per month to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise.
Capital contributions collected under this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses
exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set-up of equipment in the City Council
Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live and through
subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website.
18
LTGO Debt Service Fund #204
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax
general obligation (LTGO) bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non -voted bonds. When
LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary
to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations
pertaining to non -voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds
of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street
improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take
advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond
repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding
there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December
1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public
Facilities District. At January 1, 2019, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond
issue will be $4,645,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December
1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions
from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax. At January 1, 2019 the outstanding
balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $730,000.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance
the construction of a new City Hall along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for
this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30 -year period ending
December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in
from the General Fund. At January 1, 2019, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,895,000.
REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on
each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan
under the Growth Management Act.
REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise
tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing public works capital projects as specified in the capital
facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
Stormwater Management Fund #402
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual
charge of $21 for each single family unit and $21 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for
all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service
facilities. These fees are estimated to generate $1,890,000 in 2019.
19
Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Fund #403
These are voter approved fees, the proceeds of which are applied to aquifer protection related
capital construction projects. Fees are collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City
twice each year. These fees are estimated to generate $460,000 in 2019. Fees include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the
APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal by properties within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water
meter size.
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund
transfer. These transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund
for another or a concentration of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following
interfund transfers are planned for 2019:

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS IN THE 2019 BUDGET
Budget Summary for All Funds
• Based upon funding levels anticipated in the 2019 budget, City staff will strive to maintain
adequate levels of service.

Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent of employee (FTE) count will be 93.75 employees compared to 89.25
in the prior year as a result of the reduction of a vacant administrative assistant position in the
City Manager's office from 1.0 to 0.5 FTE, and the addition of 5.0 FTEs requested by the
Community and Public Works Department that are necessary to meet project needs going
into the future. The 5 FTEs represent an increase of 0.4 FTE in Fund #001 — General Fund,
21
1.5 FTEs in Fund #101 — Street Operations & Maintenance, and 3.1 FTEs in Fund #303 —
Street Capital Projects.
o See the City Manager's budget message for further details on FTE count for the City.
• The 2019 Budget reflects the fifth consecutive year the City will set aside City monies in an
amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation
in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation. This 6% equals $2,440,900.
• Positions and salary ranges are based on the City's compensation and classification plan.

at CenterPlace.
2019 General Fund Revenues
• Total recurring 2019 revenues are estimated at $45,496,900 as compared to $43,007,600 in
2018. This is an increase of $2,489,300 or 5.79%.
• The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are
collectively estimated to account for 83.52% of 2019 General Fund recurring revenues.
• The 2019 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales
taxes) is reflective of 2018 receipts to date and are currently estimated at $22.9 million
which reflects an increase of $2,035,100 or 9.75% over the 2018 estimate.
• The Property Tax levy does not include the potential annual increase allowed by Initiative
#747 which was approved by the voters in November 2001 and the subsequent action by
the State Legislature in November 2007.
o The 2019 levy is estimated at $12,054,400.
o The levy assumes we start with the 2018 levy of $11,804,400, forgo the potential annual
increase allowed by State law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which
we estimate to be $250,000.
• Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2018.
• State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2018
collections through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal

• The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement
preservation equals $2,440,900 and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures
prior to adding the pavement preservation element ($2,440,900 / $40,719,069 = 6%). The
$2,440,900 that is transferred to Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the
following:
o $972,300 from General Fund #001
o $734,300 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301

to maintain an ending fund balance of at least 50.0%.
Highlights of Other Funds
Revenues
• Motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City
is estimated to be $2,101,100 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal

each 1/4% for a total of $2,000,000.
• Hotel/Motel tax revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of
visitors and tourism. In 2019 we estimate the tax will generate $990,000, which includes

equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of $21 per single
family residence and $21 per ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial
property is computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2019
we estimate this will fee will generate $1,890,000.
• The Aquifer Protection Area Fund is expected to generate $460,000 in fees that are
collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County and remitted in two installments during the
year.

Paths & Trails Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of this amount, the State remits
a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2019 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be $21.72 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 95,810 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2018) we anticipate the City will collect $2,101,100 in 2019.
RCW 47.030.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon
the 2019 revenue estimate this computes to $8,800. The balance or $2,092,300 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street
maintenance and operations.
The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction
and/or improvement of paths and trails within the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater
than the funds generated in a single year, we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance
is available. The City transferred $50,000 in 2014 and $9,300 in 2016 and is budgeted to transfer $50,000 in 2018 to the
Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to be applied towards the Appleway Trail projects.

Solid Waste Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
In 2003, the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of Spokane and Spokane County
to join the existing Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System for a period of eight years. In 2011, that
agreement was extended through November 16, 2014.
Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable, sustainable,
and environmentally responsible, in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer,
transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. Services provided under the contract were effective
November 17, 2014, and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the
contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of $125,000 that will be used by the City to offset
contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city, including solid waste public educational
efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of $1 per ton for
each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year
following the calendar year being measured.
In June 2017, the City entered a contract with Waste Management for the collection of garbage, recyclables, and
compostables for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2028 with the option of two additional two-year extensions.
Terms of the contract require Waste Management to pay the City a one-time fee of $47,500 upon contract execution to
reimburse the City for the costs of procuring the contract. Waste Management is also required to pay the City an
monthly administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts, which is estimated to be approximately $1,600,000 in 2019.
During the years of 2013 and 2014, the General Fund #001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste
program and transferred $60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund #106 for the purpose of providing information materials
and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in solid waste transfer, transport and
disposal. The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was $202,121. Beginning in 2015 the
Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5 -year period, which equates to a
payment of annually of $40,422 in the years 2015 through 2019.

constructing the CenterPlace facility. As a part of the bond issuance the City agreed to establish a $300,000 operating
reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating expenses of
CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a plan for
reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run through
December 1, 2033.

Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The City has committed to maintaining an ending fund balance in the General Fund of at least 50% of recurring expenditures
which is equivalent to 6 -months of operations. The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source
of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of revenues
that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50% reserve balance or historical levels of service.
If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund reserves dropping below 50% of recurring
expenditures, then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance
minimum. In no event would the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund be reduced to less than 60% of the current
$5.5 million balance or $3.3 million. During 2018, this reserve balance was capped at approximately $5.5 million and any
additional interest earned was accumulated in the General Fund. This represents a Fiscal Policy of the City that is also stated
in the City Manager's 2019 Budget Message located near the front of this budget document.

Winter Weather Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The Winter Weather Reserve Fund was established through Ordinance No. 05-018 to provide an emergency reserve for use
during unusually harsh winters and storms where the Street Fund #101 budget and fund balance are inadequate to
accommodate the amount of related street maintenance, including but not limited to snow plowing, sanding, and deicing, that
may be necessary. In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter, we will strive to replenish the balance back
to approximately $500,000 through subsequent years' transfers. Due to the uncertainty of when this fund might be drawn
upon we actually budget the same $500,000 in both 2018 and 2019 even though we recognize there exists only $500,000
to address this issue if it should arise.

Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bond - Debt Service Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax general obligation (LTGO)
bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non -voted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges
the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and
statutory limitations pertaining to non -voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of
CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order
to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments (much like
refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this
total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2019, the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be $4,645,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax (Funds #301
and #302). At January 1, 2019, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $730,000.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the construction of a new
City Hall building along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for this purpose. These bonds will be paid off
in annual installments over the 30 -year period ending December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are
provided by transfers in from the General Fund. At January 1, 2019, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,895,000.

REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
This fund is used to account for the collection and expenditures of the second one-quarter of one -percent real estate excise
tax (REET 2) that is authorized through RCW 82.46. This quarter percent may only be levied by cities that are planning under
the Growth Management Act and may only be expended for purposes identified in the capital facilities plan element of their

rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals,
bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems, and planning, construction, reconstruction,
repair, rehabilitation, or improvement of parks.
Noteworthy here is that acquisition of land for parks is not a permitted use of REET 2 receipts, although it is a permitted use for
street, water and sewer projects.
Revenues recorded in this fund are typically used as a matching funds for street related construction projects that are accounted
for in Street Capital Projects Fund #303, Pavement Preservation Fund #311, and to pay for a portion of the annual bond payment

Park Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The Park Capital Projects Fund was created to account for park related capital improvements. The source of financing
typically consists of an annual transfer from the General Fund #001; however, in some years the City will utilize money
set aside for capital projects in other funds. This has occurred with transfers in from the Paths and Trails Fund #103 and
the Capital Reserve Fund #312, which have been applied towards various sections of the Appleway Trail project.

Civic Facility Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The Civic Building Capital Projects Fund was initially set-up to accumulate resources to ultimately acquire or construct a
City Hall building. The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during
2005 through 2007, and as recently as December 31, 2009, this fund had a fund balance of $5,828,600. During 2010 and
2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to
expend nearly $2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank
elimination program (STEP) initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City
streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them.
In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the $2.5 million acquisition
of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land
acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who had planned to
construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct
a new building on this site they first had to have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the
event the Library District is unable to pass a bond by October 2017, they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for
the original purchase price of $839,285.
In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that were each related to the eventual
construction of a new City Hall facility. These transfers ended after 2016:
• The first transfer in the amount of $72,500, when added to the City's $434,600 annual lease payment for space in its
current space totals $507,100 which was the amount we anticipated our annual bond repayment would be if we were
to issue approximately $8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2% issue cost over 30 -years at 4.50%.
• The second transfer was our estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities, janitorial,
grounds maintenance and snow removal, and operating and maintenance supplies.
The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 was to "create" this appropriation capacity within the General
Fund. These amounts were transferred out to the General Fund in 2016 and 2017 in order to cover lease payments for the
prior City Hall location in years in which the City had both a lease payment and a bond payment for the new City Hall building.

Pavement Preservation Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
This fund was created during the 2011 Budget development process for the purpose of setting money aside for
yet to be determined street capital improvement projects. Since inception, the pavement preservation program has
been funded through a series of transfers from other City funds as well as grant proceeds. Below is a table summarizing
the funding sources for Fund #311, including actuals for 2011 through 2017 and budgeted amounts for 2018 and 2019:

Beginning in 2013, the City committed to finance pavement preservation at a level equivalent to 6% of General Fund
recurring expenditures, which has continued from that year through the 2019 budget development. Because this is a
Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects, any money not expended
in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for re -appropriation in subsequent years.
The fund balance of Fund #123 was exhausted with the 2016 transfer of $559,808 as a consequence of following this funding
strategy. In order to maintain the City's practice of setting aside funds for pavement preservation in an amount equivalent to
6% of General Fund recurring expenditures, the City will have to rely more heavily on the REET funds going forward. We have
determined that the 2019 funding level of $2,440,900 is sustainable through 2023 assuming a General Fund contribution of
$972,300 and a collective contribution of $1,468,600 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301 and the REET 2 Capital
Projects Fund #302. The City will take advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become
available.

Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
This fund was created to account for the design and construction costs of various railroad grade separation projects that
are included in the Bridging the Valley concept. Due to the anticipated size, scope, and duration of these projects, managing
them in a separate fund allows for the necessary monitoring without being obscured by the variety and quantity of the
other projects in the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 as well as keeping these projects from skewing the average volume
of activity in Fund #303. Revenues for this fund consist of grant proceeds and transfers in from other City funds, such as
the General Fund #001, the REET 1 Capital Project Fund #301 and the Capital Reserve Fund #312. Expenditures in the
years of 2018 and 2019 are related to design costs for the Pines Road Underpass project and the Barker Road Overpass
project.

Aquifer Protection Area Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
In 1985 voters of Spokane County approved a ballot proposition to create the Spokane Aquifer Protection Area (APA)
as well as corresponding aquifer protection area fees with both sunsetting December 31, 2005. Boundaries of the
APA included portions of unincorporated areas (including what is now Spokane Valley) and the cities of Liberty Lake,
Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal
boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval.
All fees are collected by Spokane County and include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size.
In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley (City) entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County (County) that
authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including:
• up to $100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base
management related to monitoring of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane
Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
• a septic tank elimination program (STEP) designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems.
In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees
remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed
annually between the County, City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in
unincorporated areas, the City and City of Spokane.
The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are
designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a
variety of capital projects.

Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund (ER&R) is an Internal Service Fund that is designed to provide the funds
necessary to purchase new vehicles and equipment at predetermined life cycles. This fund operates by charging each City
department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle
and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement
costs as a reoccurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be
difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the
fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle, then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and
transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then
begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle.
Beginning in 2017 a CenterPlace Kitchen Reserve was established through a transfer in from the General Fund in the
amount of $36,600 per year for 5 years to build a total reserve of $183,000, which is the estimated replacement cost of the
significant kitchen appliances and equipment at CenterPlace.
Snow Plow Replacement Program
The snow plow fleet currently consists of nine plow trucks. Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the
trucks are equipped with 1,000 -gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer. Over the past five years the City has
continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly. These improvements in
snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside
roadways. Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately
12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve
as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022. The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven
plows with two serving as backup plows. The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways
can be cleared of snow per the snow plan. Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed
in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.
The 2016 Budget included the purchase of a tandem axle plow truck with a sander for approximately $225,000. Future
replacements will be single axle plows with an estimated cost of $200,000 per plow.

Risk Management Fund
Spokane Valley
2019 Budget
The City of Spokane Valley is exposed to risks of loss related to a number of sources including tort; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and unemployment claims filed by
former employees through the State of Washington. The Risk Management Fund was established to account for all such
related revenues and expenses. Revenues for this fund are comprised almost entirely from an annual transfer of money
from the General Fund and the single largest expense is typically the insurance premium the City pays to our insurance
provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).

Mayor Higgins said he went on a ride -around with Deputy Craig Chamberlin and was on his call-in program
with him on Fox 28. He said he attended the Council of Governments meeting and the Haase car show, and
he also went to the opening show of the Spokane Symphony, Novia, and a Union Pacific breakfast served
in their old rail cars.
PROCLAMATION: 1) Constitution Week; 2) Valleyfest
Mayor Higgins read the proclamation for Constitution Week and presented it to representatives of the
Daughters of the Constitution. He then read the proclamation for Valleyfest and presented it to Peggy
Doering, who thanked Council for their support.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins explained the process and said that the amount of time for each
of the two public comment sections would be limited to 30 minutes. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment.
Jim Dempsey, Spokane Valley, spoke about white nationalism and said he is concerned about labels and
groups that are racist and promote white superiority and he said he does not want Spokane Valley to become
"that Nazi place." He said diversity and change bring growth and asked that Council actively fight negative
labeling of our city.
Genevieve Haywood, pastor of Veradale United Church of Christ, spoke against bigotry in Spokane Valley
and asked that Councilmembers sponsor the resolution from Families Against Bigotry.
Joan Berkowitz, Spokane Valley, asked that Council disavow bigotry and white nationalism and not attend
their groups and asked that they sign and support the resolution.
Gene Strunk, Spokane Valley, said he is directing his comments to the people discussing racism and likened
them to Mynah birds by copying the noise but having no brain. He then quoted scripture that warns against
such actions and said Christians need to read the Revelation.
Nina Fluegal, Spokane Valley, said there is no crosswalk in front of the new North Pines middle school and
she said there are cars that speed through the school zone. She said she would like a crosswalk added so
kids can safely cross the street. With regard to the people speaking about racism, she said they are not from
Spokane Valley and are actually from Spokane.
Ping Ping, Spokane, said she is concerned with the trend of white nationalism in the valley.
Shirley Grossman, Spokane, spoke against white nationalism and said it is important for each
Councilmember to make it clear by signing the resolution opposing white nationalism that Spokane Valley
is a welcoming and inclusive community.
Diana Koorkanian-Sauders, Spokane, spoke against white nationalism and said the events of the past
summer caused her great concern, in particular the lack of response from Mayor Higgins and other City
officials regarding the impact of associating with white supremacist James Alsop. She said she welcomes
the effort of Council to appoint a representative to the Spokane County Human Rights Task Force.
Mayor Higgins noted the thirty -minute time limit expired and suspended public comments.

1. PUBLIC HEARING: 2019 Budget Revenues (including property tax) — Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Higgins opened the public hearing at 6:50 p.m. Finance Director Taylor said this is the third
presentation on the 2019 budget and that by the time it is scheduled to be adopted in November, Council
will have had opportunity to discuss the 2019 budget at eight meetings, including three public hearings.
Ms. Taylor said the material is subject to change and she highlighted changes from the August 21st meeting.
She said the most recent changes include added funding of $12,300 for services to archive text messages;
added funding of $18,000 to the Council travel budget for lobbying efforts in Washington D.C.; and an
update to the transfer amount from the Capital Reserve Fund 312 to Street Fund 101 to reflect the actual
deficit in recurring activity for the year. She pointed out that the items in blue on the budget worksheets are
the items that changed and she then went through her slide presentation. Upon conclusion of the
presentation, Mayor Higgins invited public comment.
John Harding, Spokane Valley, said from 2008-2018, the countywide revenue of a particular source of the
sales tax revenue was projected to be $47.9M and at the end of that period was actually $75 - $78M. He
said it was almost double the amount anticipated and he said he thinks that would be reflective of the general
economy. He asked if it is possible to get better information about what money might be coming in for our
piece of excise tax because he said it seems the projections can be quite far out.
There were no further public comments and Mayor Higgins closed the public hearing at 7:05 p. m.
2. CONSENT AGENDA: Consists of items considered routine which are approved as a group. Any
member of Council may ask that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda to be considered separately.
Proposed Motion: I move to approve the Consent Agenda.
a. Approval of Claim Vouchers on Sept 11, 2018 Request for Council Action Form Total: $2,739,582.23

NEW BUSINESS:
3. First Reading Ordinance 18-020 Amending Business License — Erik Lamb
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and
seconded to advance Ordinance 18-020, repealing existing chapter 5.05 SVMC and adopting a new chapter
5.05 SVMC related to business licensing, to a second reading. Deputy City Attorney Lamb said the state
mandated that all cities adopt a uniform definition of what it means to engage in business. He said we need
to adopt model ordinance provisions related to the definition and a threshold provision which relates to
businesses located outside the city limits that do a limited amount of business in the city. He said Council
set the threshold amount at $2000 last week. Lastly, he said the state requires that we use the state Business
Licensing Service portal (BLS) to do all of our business licenses, which we use currently. He said there is
no charge to the City to use the BLS and businesses can access it from our website. Mr. Lamb said the fee
for the City business license is $13.00 and the state charges an additional license fee of $24.00. He said we
need to adopt the model ordinance provisions by January 1, 2019, and that BLS requires seventy-five days'
notice of any changes, so we have to get notice to them by October 17, 2018. Mr. Lamb said last week there
was a question relating to offensive business names and how that can be taken into account as part of the
approval criteria. He said he is not sure if the state looks at that but it is not part of our criteria and it is not
being proposed. He said there was a recent US Supreme Court case related to a trademark that the trademark
office determined was offensive or disparaging and the Supreme Court said it violated the first amendment
and overturned the ruling. He said with that case as guidance, we would likely struggle to try to regulate
business names.
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 09-11--2018 Page 3 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Councilmember Thompson asked if they have to move this to a second reading or if they can make the
decision tonight. Mr. Lamb said the governance manual says ordinances will have three touches by Council
but Council can suspend those rules, but there is a motion on the floor to move it to a second reading. Mayor
Higgins invited public comments; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous.
Opposed: None. Motion carried.
4. First Reading Ordinance 18-021 Amending SVMC 2.10.020, Salary Commission — Cary Driskell
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and
seconded to advance Ordinance No. 18-021, amending chapter 2.10 SVMC, to a second reading. City
Attorney Driskell said he recently gave a presentation to Council and on August 21st Council asked staff
to bring this ordinance forward. He said before it goes to the second reading they will clean up the language
as to when Council is paid, noting that it does not change the timing. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment. Dan Allison, Spokane Valley, said he brought this up in a meeting but he did not think it would
turn into something so big. He said if the City Manager gets a raise, the Council should get a raise and that
would be easy.
Councilmember Woodard said the ordinance allows formation of a commission and asked if this ordinance
would stand or if another ordinance needs to come forward. Mr. Driskell said there are two ways to increase
the salary of Council. The first is to adopt a salary ordinance but it would not be effective until the expiration
of the term served by the incumbent. The second way is to establish a salary commission.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
5. Motion Consideration: Consultant Contract Glenrose Floodplain Study — Henry Allen, Deanna Horton
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to award the Glenrose and Central Park Basins
Floodplain Delineation Agreement to WEST Consultants, Inc., in an amount not to exceed $262, 000, and
authorize the City Manager to .finalize and execute the agreement. Senior Engineer Allen said the two
basins flow into the city in the southwest corner of the city and we do not currently have a correct map or
flood data needed to fill out FEMA forms. He said the contract is for approximately five years with the goal
to provide flood data and maps that show accurate flood flows, risks, and elevations. Mayor Higgins invited
public comment, no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None.
Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins stated the same rules apply and invited public comment.
Liz Moore, director of the Peace and Justice Action League, urged Council to co-sponsor and vote yes to
implement the resolution against white nationalism.
Scott Bowmer, Spokane Valley, said he has been working to tackle the homelessness problem in the area.
He also said he agrees with the increase in density between Sprague and 8th, but he said we need to be safe
and he sees mothers with children in strollers walking in gravel with cars going by at 35mph. He said the
speed limit on 4th should be 25mph and signs are needed to help take care of the problem.
Judy Silverstein, Spokane, said bigotry is ignorant and asked that Council, as the leaders in our community,
sign the resolution against bigotry.
John Harding, Spokane Valley, spoke about the Hydro One and Avista merger and said there are many red
flags. He said Hydro One is both publicly and privately held in Ontario and he said they are $312 billion in
the red. He said it is significant in that Ontario or other Canada members own 43 percent of the shares in
Hydro One, so if it goes bankrupt and it is tied to Avista, then Avista will go bankrupt and the pensions will
be gone. He said the CEO is getting $17M and another $33M is being distributed among executives and
probably the board as well. He said it is a bad deal for the ratepayers and for the state, and he said this
impacts all of us and it is a violation of federal law.
Robert Reese, Spokane Valley, said he represents the FAA and asked why the City bans UAS (unmanned
aircraft systems) from parks. He said the City does not have the regulatory authority of the air, that is up to

the FAA, and if people violate current regulations, that is up to the FAA to enforce as well. He said he is
looking for substance from Council before they ban drones in the parks and he said the ban will be
burdensome for law enforcement to enforce and many businesses use drones. City Attorney Driskell said
he and Mr. Lamb continue to work on the issue and he said some good points have been made and they are
taking more time to look into it. Councilmember Woodard said nothing has been done yet and that staff is
still looking for more information.
Ping Ping, Spokane, continued from her first comment, speaking against white nationalism.
Gene Strunk, Spokane Valley, said all these comments about racism and white supremacy are being
parroted and he said it is politics brought up to get the Mayor and paint the Mayor with slander.
Scott Bowmer, Spokane Valley, said he agrees with everything the commenters said about peace and
encourages Council to continue to keep costs down.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
6. Spokane Valley Express System — Elisha Heath
Executive Assistant Heath went through her slide presentation, stating that the City transitioned from the
CARES system in EGov to Spokane Valley Express for citizens to report concerns to the City. She said the
new system offers more functionality to citizens, increased communication between staff, increased
searching capabilities, and enhanced reporting capabilities. Councilmember Peetz asked if there is a spot to
add a photo and Ms. Heath said there is an option to add photos in "Request Type." Councilmember Wick
asked if there is a link to the system on our homepage and Ms. Heath said there is a link at the bottom of
the page to "Report a Problem."
7. City Delegation to Washington, D.C. — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said that Councilmember Wick suggested we send advocates to Washington D.C.
to lobby for Spokane Valley interests, and for Council discussion, Mr. Calhoun provided potential topics
of interest to Council as well as other travel arrangement items to consider. For example, who they want to
meet with in D.C., how many days of travel, how many delegates they will send, how the delegation will
navigate in D.C. without a tour guide, transportation in and around D.C., and when the trip will take place.
He said he estimates the budget impact, assuming airfare, three nights of hotel, meals and ground
transportation, at roughly $3,000 per person. Assuming we send three delegates twice a year, he said the
cost is estimated to be around $18,000.
Mayor Higgins said he does not think we should send delegates without guidance and that since we are
looking to contract with a lobbyist, he said he thinks we should wait until that is in place. Mr. Calhoun said
the deadline for the lobbyist RFQ submittal was September 6th. He said the review team consists of Deputy
City Manager Hohman, attorneys Driskell and Lamb, City Engineer Helbig and himself. He further
explained that the team will review the submittals, go through the interview process, negotiate a contract
and report to Council for approval. Mayor Higgins suggested there be one or two members of Council on
the selection committee and Mr. Calhoun agreed that would be beneficial.
Councilmember Wick said two days of lobbying seems appropriate and he said he thinks they should
discuss the CRISI and BUILD programs. He said he does not think navigation in D.C. is difficult with the
rail system there and added that representatives can help when needed; he said he thinks a focused Spokane
Valley trip would be advantageous and that possibly someone from the Valley Chamber could go with
them.
Councilmember Thompson said she advocates for going sooner rather than later and said that Spokane
Valley voices need to be heard. She said she also likes the idea of a federal legislative agenda.
Councilmember Woodard asked what the timeline is for getting the lobbyist in place. Mr. Calhoun said the
team will begin review of the eighteen respondents next week, narrow those down to a few, conduct
interviews by the end of September, and then report back to Council with a recommended selection by the
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 09-11--2018 Page 5 of 6

DRAFT
middle of October, possibly October 16th. Councilmember Woodard said he thinks it is appropriate to wait
for the lobbyist and he said the trip would take thirty days to schedule and make arrangements; he said if
we get a good lobbyist, they should be able to do that for us. Mr. Calhoun said he is looking for a consensus
on how to proceed, the question being who will make up the delegation and when to make the trip — before
or after a lobbyist is approved by Council. Mayor Higgins said that before going back to D.C., we should
have a set agenda and schedule of appointments with the people with whom we want to meet. It was
consensus of Council to move forward with preparations to schedule appointments and arrange for travel
around November 1st. Mr. Calhoun said he will begin working through the details and initiate contact with
Representative McMorris-Rogers and Senator Cantwell, as well as the County Commissioners office. He
said with the November election, federal legislators may be distracted but he will bring an update back to
Council in two to three weeks.
8. Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said he was contacted by Aging and Long Term Care of Eastern Washington to see
if Spokane Valley wants representation on their committee and that Council said they wanted two
Councilmembers on the board. He said we have since been told the desire of the board is to maintain the
current composition of nine members, so they proposed reducing the membership of the City of Spokane
from three members to two, and allowing Spokane Valley to have one member, keeping the total
membership for the Spokane Region at four. It was consensus of Council to move forward. Mr. Calhoun
said he will pass this along and anticipates it will go before their board on November 2, 2018, and he will
then come back to Council with an interlocal agreement in December to go into effect in January of 2019.
9. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Thompson said she would like Council to have a presentation or discussion with the
community to talk about who we are as a community and that we are a city that values all people. The
Mayor acknowledged the agreement of three Councilmembers and Mr. Calhoun said we will add a topic of
inclusion in the community to the pending agenda.

1. Outside Agencies Funding Requests — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor gave an overview of the process for Outside Agency funding, and asked
Councilmembers to provide their individual scoring sheet to her by 4:00 p.m. October 12, 2018; she asked
that each Councilmember please make sure their recommendations add up to $182,000; she explained that
once those recommendations are received, we will proceed with the process as was done in the past and she
will prepare a summary of the recommended funds as well as the number of votes for each requesting entity;
and as noted in her request for Council Action Form, she explained the allocation process based on the
number of votes for each request; and noted that this matter will come before Council again at the October
23 Council meeting; that a summary of final recommendations will be included in that Council agenda
packet showing funding recommendations, and Council will vote on funding allocations during the October
23 meeting. The following organizations gave a brief presentation in response to our call for Outside
Agency Funding: (1)Big Brothers, Big Sisters, requesting $10,000; (2) Elevations, requesting $5,000; (3)
Feed Spokane, requesting $4,850; (4) GSI: StartUp Spokane, requesting $10,000; (5) JAKT requesting
$30,000; (6) Spokane Valley Arts Council, requesting $103,150; (7) Spokane Valley Heritage Museum,
requesting $8,300; (8) Spokane Valley Partners, requesting $35,000; (9) Spokane Valley Summer Theater,
requesting $5,000; (10) Widows Might, requesting $25,000; and (11) Valleyfest, requesting $100,000. At
the conclusion of the presentations, Director Taylor reminded Councilmembers to submit their allocations
to her by 4 pm October 12.
2. Street & Stormwater Maintenance Programs — John Hohman, and Consultant Harry Lorick
Deputy City Manager Hohman explained that tonight's presentation is in follow-up to the May 22
discussion and evaluation conducted by LA Consulting; and that Mr. Harry Lorick is here tonight to go
through the findings of the draft report, after which we will seek Council's input on the process. Mr. Lorick
went through the slides highlighting the project goals, evaluation process, and recommendations, and said
that tonight's goal is to review the preliminary recommendations for Council feedback. Mr. Lorick
explained about the evaluation process and findings and resulting initial recommendations which will in
turn ultimately lead to a final report and final recommendations. He noted that twenty-six interviews were
conducted with key management staff as well as City and County governmental and private contractors;
said there were many positive processes observed, with recommendations for systems and integration,
Council Study Session: 09-18-2018 Page 1 of 3

process improvement, and accountability. Mr. Lorick mentioned the snowfall history and recommended we
monitor that annually and use it as an means to determine needs. There was also a recommendation to
establish and maintain a spatial database of critical infrastructure assets such as stormwater structures,
signals, etc. and to document the asset data management procedures for update of the inventory database.
Mr. Lorick spoke about pavement assessment, with a finding that estimates $6.3 million is needed annually
to maintain the current pavement condition.
Other items discussed included maintenance activities, fleet maintenance, complaints from citizens about
snow plowing and berms, snow gates and that the City of Spokane is planning on using them this year;
snowfall truck routes; stormwater rates and fees noting that Spokane Valley's fees are considerably lower
than other agencies, and a recommendation to develop a nexus between fees collected and cost of
maintenance. Concerning the City's organization, Mr. Lorick explained that the recommendation is to
develop subordinate managers to assist in higher-level planning and management of capital and operations,
and to adjust the job descriptions for Maintenance Construction Inspectors to include providing direction
for contract and part-time employees; he also noted Spokane Valley's employee per capita rate is lower
than most known contract cities in his company's database. Mr. Lorick mentioned our governmental
contracts, state agreements, and incarcerated support; and for our equipment such as pickups, plows, sedans,
etc., suggested the need for a backup plan for current staff for fleet maintenance; he mentioned in-house
staff and performance plans and activities and recommended compiling the work into a single database.
Mr. Lorick noted the submittal of the final report will likely occur in October.
Councilmember Thompson asked if implementing the recommended systems reduce the need for more staff
and Mr. Lorick said the probability of having to reduce staff is not high, but he would have to know all the
pieces; said we are in the ballpark, and that it would require a tool to make that analytical estimate.
Concerning the show plows and gates, Mr. Lorick suggested since the City of Spokane will be using that,
that we wait and let Spokane go through that process and see how it works, and if Council has any further
input, it can be delivered to him via Mr. Hohman. Councilmember Wick said that he realizes data collection
takes time and he asked about how to make that break between collecting the data or not collecting too
much, and the cost for that function. Mr. Lorick said you would probably save money because you're
collecting data from different sources and they don't match compared to if you put it in one place and
everyone confirmed it, said he feels it would take less time to collect the data; that the data collected should
only be focused on the major activities; he said that 20% of the activities can be accounted for 80% of the
dollars; he said if you just focused on those and know how many exact road miles, exactly how many
sidewalks you have, number of inlets, and number of signs and signals and the type of signals, that would
probably be all that would be needed; but those numbers should be accurate as those figures drive the
workload that drives the staffing that drives the budget.
Mr. Hohman added that as we went through the consolidation, we noticed we didn't have a good handle on
what we owned, when it was built, location, and when it was last maintained, and said he believes this will
be more efficient collecting data and putting it all in one location. Mr. Hohman said that Mr. Lorick also
noted that our mechanic does a lot of work on the trucks and keeps those records manually, and that it likely
will be more efficient to use a computer system that we already own; that this all got started out of the need
to look at our snow operations to see if there is a better way. Mr. Hohman said staff will be coming back in
the next few weeks to talk about this in more detail, and have our staff members Brant Collier, Tom
Danielson, and Shane Arlt at that meeting so Council can hear from them about how they have put this
program together, and include sidewalk snow issues as well; and he said research all got started in response
to Council's question on whether it is better to contract everything or is the hybrid approach we have the
best method; he said he feels good that LA Consulting was able to find that we are competitive and are
doing a good job, and he again stated that if Council has future questions or concerns, to please give them
to him or Mr. Calhoun, and those will be routed to Mr. Lorick.

3. Integration Combined Communication Center — Chief Werner, Chief Collins
Police Chief Werner and Fire Chief Collins, along with Mr. Steve Reinke new director of the integrated
system known as SPOCOM, went through the PowerPoint presentation explaining about a combined
communication center. Chief Collins mentioned that SPOCOM isn't a permanent name yet and anticipates
there will be an official name soon, which may or may not be different. Chief Werner and Chief Collins
discussed the concept of integrated communications and Spokane region's path to interoperability; they
explained how the current system works compared with improvements that will be effective with the new
system, such as improved coordination with emergency management and disaster preparedness, as well as
long term cost savings through shared technologies. They also talked about lower turnover and shorter
vacancies with an integrated system, and that there are greater opportunities for advancement in a
consolidated system versus a bifurcated system with people feeling they are "stuck on a shift" and that they
don't anticipate any reduction of current staff. Mr. Reinke mentioned that it will be his job to turn concept
into reality just a few months before they go live. Councilmember Woodard asked about the center being
unionized and Mr. Reinke said the new center will provide the employees with the choice of which union
they prefer. There was also discussion about funding, emerging cellular technology, the make-up of the
board which includes Spokane Valley Police Chief Werner, addressing standards, and backup centers.
4. Proposed Ordinance Adopting 2019 Property Taxes — Chelsie Taylor
Director Taylor explained about the upcoming adoption of the 2019 property tax ordinance; said they are
still working with estimates as is the County, and that we expect to hear from them by the end of this or
next week; adding that the final determination will not be made until later this fall, so the levy rate will
continue to change as we move through the process, but it won't be greater than 2018, plus construction.
5. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
6. Council Comments — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Thompson stated that at Valleyfest, she will be promoting the first Spokane Valley Youth
Voice meeting set for October 8, and that the hope is to recruit teens who are enjoying Valleyfest.
Mayor Higgins said that there was discussion last week about two Councilmembers being on the group
selecting our Washington lobbyist, and he announced that is he appointing Deputy Mayor Haley and
himself.
7. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said that tonight's admin report on property taxes is part of the 2019 budget
development process, and that next week he will be giving the City Manager Presentation of the 2019
budget, followed later by two more public hearings, then the two readings of the ordinance to adopt the
budget, with that second reading scheduled for November 13, 2018. Mr. Calhoun also noted that yesterday
he and City Attorney Driskell signed the necessary documents transferring Myrna Park, which property
was donated by Mr. Gothmann, and said a park sign has been ordered and we are hopeful it will be delivered
by the end of the week, and that a dedication will be coming soon in October.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:46 p.m.

PROCLAMATIONS: Childhood Cancer Awareness Month

PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins mentioned that due to the length of tonight's meeting, the first
public comment opportunity will be limited to 20 minutes, and the second will be limited to ten. Mayor
Higgins explained the process for giving public comments, then invited general public comments.
1. Ms. Jennifer Calvert, Spokane Valley: said she recently started following the action of this Council and
watched the video of the July 3 meeting where Mayor Higgins removed Ben Wick from the SRTC and
finance committee with a vote taken of four to three to approve, and that it wasn't on the agenda; she said
Mr. Wick remarked at the time that he was blind -sighted so it wasn't previously discussed by the entire
Council; said it was obvious that four Councilmembers were not surprised and she wondered if they did
discuss this prior to the meeting, which would have been illegal according to the Open Public Meetings
Act; she mentioned the July 11 meeting of the Northwest Grassroots and said that the meeting was attended
by our Mayor who spoke to the group; said she watched a subsequent Council meeting as she was interested
to hear the Mayor's version of that July 3 meeting; she said the side notes he delivered were offensive; said
we don't want to be known as the city that tolerates racism; and she urged Council to take a public stand
against white supremacy and for racial equality and that at least one Councilmember sponsor the resolution
against white nationalism.
2. Rev. Gen Heywood, Veradale United Church Pastor: said she is a convener of Families Against Bigotry
and she is wondering why the resolution isn't sponsored; she quoted the City's vision statement; she spoke
about the difference between the resolution against white nationalism and the City's 2017 resolution
affirming the City as an inclusive City where discrimination is not tolerated.
3. Ms. Colette Seubert, Spokane Valley: said she lives in the Ridgemont neighborhood and is concerned
with trucks going through her neighborhood; said she witnessed at least ten large, semi -trucks through her
neighborhood, and is equally concerned with the 1800 -plus vehicles a day going through that don't even
live in her neighborhood; said there are alternate routes they can take; she said a sign for `local deliveries
only' hasn't solved any problems; said she monitored several trucks and called the companies, said they
were all going well over 35 mph; said the street is not equipped for that; there are no sidewalks and there
are kids playing there; said it is dangerous and she wants the City to put up some kind of sign to close the
roar at the top so those subdivisions can't use the road; said she asked about speed bumps and was told the
City won't allow them, but she said that would slow down the traffic so maybe traffic would find another
route.
4. Mr. Jon Seubert, Spokane Valley: said he also wanted to speak about the traffic problems in the
Ridgemont neighborhood and he agreed with the previous statements; said there are some corners with poor
visibility, even at 25 mph; he asked Council to pass an ordinance to use speed bumps in the local area so
maybe traffic will choose a different route.

5. Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said his issue isn't with fire or police protection, but he has a difficult
time understanding why the County Commissioners send a proposition that includes several different
components they are going to work on, but they forgot to tell us how much it will cost the taxpayers; said
when he saw this he had no idea this was coming; said this isn't open, accountable government but is a
blank check, and after doing some research, found out there was more money collected during the previous
10 -year period for prop 2; said voters don't get a voter's pamphlet on propositions; that he doesn't think
this is the way to do business and is appalled they have been doing this; said he doesn't know if we can do
anything as a city, but would like someone to talk to the Commissioners to tell us exactly how much they
need.
6. Mr. Dary Van Dusen, Liberty Lake: said he was going to talk about race, but doesn't want to talk about
it and said he can't believe we are hung up on this topic; said there is a perception about being intolerant
against everything except conservative attitudes and we need to keep pushing back against that reputation.
7. Ms. Julie Edvalson, Spokane Valley: concerning the Ridgemont neighborhood, said she has the same
concerns about traffic and the apparent no regard for pedestrians, bikes, or kids; said there are no sidewalks
and the streets are narrow when cars are parked there and something needs to be done; said the number of
cars in and out of the area is high and she doesn't believe the road was built for that volume of traffic; said
it will wear out the roads prematurely and she encourages Council to consider improving the neighborhood;
said this is not a unique issue as there are other neighborhoods that could use some innovative thoughts to
make neighborhood improvements.
The twenty -minute time limit expired and no further public comments were taken.
1. CONSENT AGENDA: Consists of items considered routine which are approved as a group. Any
member of Council may ask that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda to be considered separately.

NEW BUSINESS:
2. Second Reading Ordinance 18-020 Amending Business License — Erik Lamb
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and
seconded to approve Ordinance No. 18-020, repealing existing chapter 5.05 SVMC and adopting a new
chapter 5.05 SVMC related to business licensing. Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that this change
is as a result of state legislation to standardize the definition of doing business throughout the state, and that
the state requires us to adopt certain model definitions, which are included in this ordinance, as well as a
threshold of $2,000; adding that it has been a long time since this section of the code was last examined,
and there are some cleanup issues as well to keep us more in line with how we operate and do business.
Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor:
unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
3. Second Reading Ordinance 18-021 Amending SVMC 2.10.020, Salary Commission — Cary Driskell
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and
seconded to approve Ordinance No. 18-021 amending chapter 2.10 SVMC. City Attorney Driskell briefly
went over the background of how this ordinance amendment came about, as noted in his Request for
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 09-24-2018 Page 3 of 8
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Council Action Form; and said this ordinance will now be usable in the future as specific dates were
removed; and once this is approved, staff will advertise for members of the Commission, which will then
be chosen by recommendation of the Mayor with confirmation by Council. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment.
Ms. Terry Cash, Spokane Valley: said she didn't understand what is being proposed, and City Attorney
Driskell explained that this issue has been talked about a lot, and that Council had requested us to look if
salary levels are appropriate; and to look at a range of factors, that under state law, a salary commission is
appointed to do those comparisons and make a recommendation, which then becomes the new
councilmembers' salary, subject to referendum.
Mr. Dan Allison, Spokane Valley: said he brought this up months ago and thought it would have been done
already; said he is amazed over all this time, since 2006 that Council hasn't got a raise, said we have an HR
department and would think that would be on his agenda; said he is perplexed we have to go through this
and even though it is a law, it seems like a lot of wasted time; he proposed to just double the salary and tie
it to someone's wages who gets a raise, and every time they get a raise, Council would get a raise; he said
it would be simple, easy and we don't need all this other junk
Mr. Matt Hilbrich, Spokane Valley: asked if his understanding is correct that the Mayor gets to pick the
commission and it is approved by Council; and City Attorney Driskell confirmed his understanding is
correct.
Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley: said the Councilmembers are hardworking people who do an amazing job
for our city, and he hopes citizens have an opportunity to avail themselves of this process and learn more;
that he believes Council is probably making under minimum wage, maybe $4 or $5 an hour; and he would
hope citizens would educate themselves and call the City to ask this commission what their charge is, and
to get involved.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said some might not know that Council's salary range is about $700
and that their counterparts in Spokane are in the $40,000 dollar range; and thinks they get an assistant and
vehicle use and other benefits; and that's a good reference to compare with.
Ms. Courtney Smith, Spokane Valley: said someone mentioned that this would be a mayoral appointment
of the Salary Commission, and she wondered what the qualifications for those commission members would
be and whether it would be more of a diverse basis or Spokane Valley citizens or people who have
government experience.
City Attorney Driskell said there are no specifically stated criteria, but as with all committees and
commissions, he would expect Council would be looking for people with a broad range of life and work
experience, who would be able to understand what it is the Council does, maybe people who have some
experience in analytical analysis as he assumes Council wants someone who will give a good, strong view
of the information, and know what kind of information they need, and he mentioned the 2006 report that
was included with a previous council packet, which report was fairly comprehensive and well laid -out, and
included a thorough analysis of various factors; and said he thinks that is a good starting point. Mayor
Higgins explained that the people will be selected from whomever applies following an announcement in
the papers. City Manager Calhoun said assuming Council approves this, the plan is to advertise this in the
Valley News Herald, the Spokesman, and the Exchange, for three consecutive weeks starting this Friday;
that the application deadline will be October 15 and the appointments are scheduled for the October 23
Council meeting.

Ms. Julie Edvalson, Spokane Valley: she suggested advertising not just in the newspapers, but also on the
Internet to get a broader age -range.
Councilmember Peetz said she appreciates the comments and believes there needs to be a broad range of
people. Councilmember Wick remarked that this process was done a while ago and included a specific
time -frame, and whether we want to move forward with a salary change or not, the Code needs to be
amended so it is not just a one-time ordinance. Councilmember Thompson said the commission will include
five members and there is an opportunity for diversity and inclusion, and she welcomes the voices tonight
and hopes people will spread the word as the more engaged citizens are, the richer our committees will be.
Vote by acclamation: In favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Mayoral Appointment, Citizen to Human Rights Task Force — Mayor Higgins
After Mayor Higgins briefly explained about this appointment, and stated that his recommendation for this
appointment is James Johnson, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded to confirm the
Mayor's recommended appointment of James Johnson to the Spokane Human Rights Task Force for a term
effective immediately upon appointment, and expiring March 31, 2020. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment.
Ms. June Burkeritz: said she is curious how Mr. Johnson is best qualified, and Mayor Higgins said he
reviewed all the applications; that Mr. Johnson is also a member of the City's Planning Commission and
has been involved in issues for our valley for quite some time, and feels Mr. Johnson is the best qualified,
and that all Councilmembers saw all the applications he did, and based on the outcome of the vote, we will
see if they concur.
Mr. Art Zack, Spokane Valley: said he has been a Spokane Valley property owner since 1978 and is well
invested in this community; and said he feels this is a very positive step forward, that some minorities feel
threatened and this is a very important commission, and he hopes Mr. Johnson is sensitive to the fears that
can be raised in some citizens.
Mr. James Johnson, Spokane Valley: he extended thanks to the Mayor for this honor; said he has lived here
his entire life and seen changes; that he has immediate family members of color and his `significant other'
is Jewish, and agrees there are times when those family members are fearful.
Ms. Kate Bitz, Spokane- said she is excited to see Spokane Valley following other cities and appointing
someone to this commission.
Councilmember Thompson said she is grateful we are moving this forward; that she was disappointed
several months ago when she thought she was going to be the Council representative, and appreciates
having the discussion to have someone from the community; said one of the issues is the Commission's
meetings are on Tuesdays, the same nights as our Council meetings; and said she will support Mr. Johnson.
Councilmember Wood said he and Mr. Johnson served on the Planning Commission together and he is a
passionate individual who loves this community, and he is a wonderful choice. Vote by acclamation: In
favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins again explained the process for citizens giving public comment,
and he invited general public comment.
1. Mr. Matt Hilbrich, Spokane Valley: spoke concerning the Ridgemont neighborhood and the terrible
traffic; said mailboxes, garages and dogs have been hit and there was even a deer killed on that road; said
Morningside residents travel at 50 mph using his street as a cut -through; said he was told there are 1800
cars on the street every day and this is before the new houses are built; said there are no stop signs and no

sidewalks and there are three blind curves; said he went through the proper chain of command and met with
staff, but the issue has been going on and now it is starting to affect housing values; and he asked Council
to take action and close the road.
2. Ms. Colleen Terriff, Spokane Valley: said according to the Southern Poverty Law Center, there are 954
hate groups in the United States, 26 in Washington state and some `right in our backyard;' according to the
Census Bureau, Spokane is comprised of 89% whites, so nonwhites are a definite minority in this region;
she said sometimes Spokane Valley is known as being very homogeneous, somewhat racist, and
homophobic; and citizens sometimes seem to lack open-mindedness, tolerance and acceptance; and those
who are different are frequently labeled, harassed, and occasionally verbally and physically threatened; said
sometimes laws and resolutions seem to inconvenient the advantaged but are many times put in place to
protect those who are vulnerable; and she encouraged Council to sign the resolution against the white
nationalism; on a different note, said a few months ago she noticed some Councilmembers were quiet and
some through changes feigned that they didn't know that committee changes were going to happen, but she
said, you did; she said some have to improve on body language and what is perceived as smug looks; and
said some might not remember that the microphone is on; she extended a welcome to the new
Councilmembers and she encouraged Council to keep moving the valley and the citizens forward, and vow
to have transparency and be honest, open, caring and humble.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
5. Heart of the Valley Sculpture Placement — Mark Calhoun, Jon Mueller
City Manager Calhoun gave some background of the issue of the placement of this sculpture, and introduced
Landscape Architect Jon Mueller of Architects West, who was retained to assist the City in this sculpture's
placement. Mr. Calhoun mentioned that at the previous Council meeting, Council said they would prefer
placing the sculpture at the trailhead of the Appleway Trail.
Mr. Mueller said that when we last discussed this before Council, the direction was to look at the Appleway
Trail as Council preferred a location with a lot of visibility and thought that would be an optimal place.
However, as noted in the photo, Mr. Mueller said visibility in that area would be hampered by poles and
signs and would only provide a fleeting view as traffic moved north and south. Mr. Mueller said he also
doesn't believe this site is commensurate with the importance of the piece, which is a beautiful piece of art
and a wonderful gift, so we want to get the placement right. Mr. Mueller said after he spoke with another
consultant, the recommendation is to store this piece until another site becomes available or until the Balfour
Park development occurs when the piece can be incorporated into that space to allow for maximum
visibility.
Mr. Calhoun explained that Parks & Recreation Director Stone had also discussed with this Dr. Harken
who expressed interest at having it at Balfour Park, and who also noted he is comfortable placing it in
storage until it could be placed at the park. Mr. Calhoun said that Mr. Stone also followed up with the Arts
Council and received a written expression of that as well, and said the plan is to store it at our shop pending
future development of Balfour Park. Mr. Calhoun also remarked that last year we approved a $30,000
payment toward this piece, $11,000 of which has been paid and that we will hold off on paying the balance
until delivery of the art. It was noted there is no scheduled date for the park development and there is no
cost to store the piece at the City shop, and that both the artist and Mr. Harkin would like the piece moved
to storage. The issue of moving the piece of art was also discussed and Mr. Calhoun said it is not a piece
that lends itself to be moved multiple times as it measures about 12-14' high. There was Council consensus
to put it in storage as suggested, and Mr. Calhoun added that we will work with the library on their plans.
Mayor Higgins called for a recess at 7:32 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:40 p.m.

Economic Development Manager Basinger introduced Mr. and Mrs. Stebbins from the JAKT foundation,
who then provided a recap of the Crave! event, and mentioned the upcoming Oktoberfest, set for September
28-30 at CenterPlace.
7. City Manager Presentation of 2019 Preliminary Budget - Mark Calhoun
In keeping with state budget requirements, via his PowerPoint presentation City Manager Calhoun went
over the 2019 Preliminary Budget; he mentioned this is a draft budget and will likely have some edits, and
he encouraged Council to read his budget message and Finance Director Taylor's memo about the budget
development process, contained in the beginning of the draft 2019 budget.
Concerning the 2019 Council Goals, Councilmember Wick mentioned goal #7 and the added language
'from the Appleway Trail' but said the trail extensions should include the trail, and not only focus on the
connections from that trail, but on a loop. Mr. Calhoun agreed the intent is for loops throughout the trail
systems, or interconnected loops between all the trails, and said he will work on clarifying that verbiage.
Councilmember Wick also mentioned the allocation for Browns Park and of a hopeful future discussion on
those amenities. Mr. Calhoun said there will be a future admin report with about five slides showing those
amenities, and that the legislative agenda will also be coming back to Council in a couple of weeks; he also
noted that due to the new L&I laws about prevailing wages for services on capital projects, specifically for
landscaping, that those costs went from $11.50 an hour to $37.19 an hour, which he said represents a 320%
increase, and said that of course will have a substantial impact on Browns Park, trail amenities, and other
projects. Mr. Calhoun said he will be in contact with our lobbyist Briahna Murray concerning this issue.
There was also some discussion about the ending fund balance and the process to `drain off' funds, with
Mr. Calhoun explaining that he is an advocate of setting aside funds as we have in the past for projects such
as the Balfour Park development, and the Barker Corridor, and that ultimately, that will be a Council
decision as the budget process progresses; that it is important to see the Master Plan for Browns Park and
those priorities contained therein and that our legislators will be concerned as Councilmembers are, about
what we would be asking for in funding assistance.
8. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Wick asked about getting an update on the Ridgemont neighborhood. City Manager
Calhoun replied that Council was updated in June and July concerning this issue, and that members of the
neighborhood have been in constant contact with City Engineer Bill Helbig; said the neighbors recommend
closing the public streets, which are paid for with public dollars, and that we don't see that as a viable
option; he said stop signs are not warranted and would have liability problems; that speed bumps are not
conducive in winter months with snow plows, or for bike riders, and that staff also thinks that would present
potential liability issues; said Council had settled on 'no truck' signs and those were installed, but the
District Court ruled the language was deficient, so we are working with the sign company to prepare signs
for the top and bottom, and traffic speed signs. Councilmember Wick asked about more enforcement and
Mr. Calhoun explained that once the signs are up, we can have enforcement. Deputy City Manager Hohman
stated that the signs are now up; and Mr. Calhoun said we can now begin enforcement.
Councilmember Wick also asked about timing on public comments; that we have a goal of trying to increase
public participation, and he suggested starting to list the time period on the agenda; and said tonight some
people who didn't get a chance to speak, left the room. Mayor Higgins said people didn't leave because
they didn't talk, as there was only one person carried over from the first public comment opportunity to the
next one; and that until the agenda is published, there is no way to know how much time to allocate; and
said he is doing this to have a reasonable time for the meeting. Mr. Calhoun suggested that perhaps this
could be included in the governance manual discussion next week.

Councilmember Wick also asked if we advertise open positions on Facebook, and Mr. Calhoun said it is
the intent, but that our PIO only just started work yesterday.
9. Department Reports
The Department Reports were for information only and were not reported or discussed.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Calhoun explained that it has been suggested staff prepare a letter to Ontario Premier Doug
Ford concerning a proposed sale of the Avista Corporation to Hydro One, and that letter has been circulated
to Council, and a hard copy is before Council tonight on the dais, and said he is seeking consensus to
authorize the Mayor to sign the letter. Council agreed and Councilmember Thompson suggested a more
powerful last sentence to include thanks for reading the letter, and that we look forward to his response.
Mr. Driskell said he would make that change and send the letter out in tomorrow's mail.
10. EXECUTIVE SESSION: Potential Litigation [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)]
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded, that Council adjourn into executive session for
approximately 30 minutes to discuss potential litigation, and that no action will be taken upon return to
open session. Council adjourned into executive session at 8:57 p.m.. At approximately 9:23 p.m., Mayor
Higgins announced that Council is out of executive session, at which time it was moved by Councilmember
Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First reading of Ordinance #18-022 levying 2019 regular property taxes
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State law.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2019 Budget development process there
have been discussions regarding the 2019 property tax levy including a public hearing that was
held on September 11th. This topic was also addressed on September 18th through an
administrative report on this single topic.
BACKGROUND:
2019 Levy and Estimated Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value
• State law requires that the City pass an ordinance that establishes a property tax levy, and per
our 2019 Budget calendar we are scheduled to adopt this legislation on October 23, 2018.
• State law limits the increase in the property tax levy to the lesser of the increase in the Implicit
Price Deflator (IPD), which is the specific measure of inflation used by the State for property tax
increases, or 1%. The IPD rate for the 2019 tax year was just issued on September 25, 2018,
and it is 2.169%, meaning that the City's allowed increase is limited to 1% for 2019.
• Our proposed 2019 property tax levy does not include the 1% increase allowed by State law.
• The levy will include property taxes on new construction.
• With the passage of this ordinance we estimate the City will collect between $12,015,754
(based upon the most recent Spokane County estimate) and $12,054,402 (based upon the City
estimate). These estimates are computed as follows:
• The $38,648 difference between the two revenue figures is a result of the differences in the
estimated new construction.
• Because Spokane County figures are still preliminary and don't include administrative refunds
and other adjustments, I recommend we stay with the City of Spokane Valley estimate.
• This levy is based upon a September 28th update to the preliminary estimate of assessed
property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of $9,331,109,315.
• Total property tax revenue of $12,054,402 on preliminary assessed values of $9,331,109,315
will produce a levy of approximately $1.291851 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2019
($12,054,402 / ($9,331,109,315/1,000) = $1.291851).
• The 2019 estimated levy rate of $1.291851 per $1,000 is $0.075331 less than the 2018 levy
rate of $1.367181.

• The $38,648 difference between the two revenue figures is a result of the differences in the
estimated new construction.
• Because Spokane County figures are still preliminary and don't include administrative refunds
and other adjustments, I recommend we stay with the City of Spokane Valley estimate.
• This levy is based upon a September 28th update to the preliminary estimate of assessed
property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of $9,331,109,315.
• Total property tax revenue of $12,054,402 on preliminary assessed values of $9,331,109,315
will produce a levy of approximately $1.291851 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2019
($12,054,402 / ($9,331,109,315/1,000) = $1.291851).
• The 2019 estimated levy rate of $1.291851 per $1,000 is $0.075331 less than the 2018 levy
rate of $1.367181.
• It is important to note that this estimate is based upon the Assessor's latest preliminary
projections of assessed value as of September 28, 2018. A change in any of the elements
including assessed value, new construction estimate and/or a change in the amount of our
proposed levy will change the levy rate per $1,000.
Banked Capacity
Banked capacity is the difference between what the City could levy (the Highest Lawful Levy) and
what it actually does. In any case, the City of Spokane Valley's maximum levy rate is $1.60 per
$1,000 of assessed value. Any amount levied that is less than Highest Lawful Levy represents
"banked capacity." Included in the analysis below is history of Spokane Valley levies including
seven years of actual figures (2012 through 2018) and a preliminary estimate for 2019:

• Generally speaking, you'll note there is a direct relationship between the Taxable Value listed in
column A, and the Banked Capacity in columns H and I. In other words, as the Taxable Value
increases the Banked Capacity also increases. This did not hold true for 2016 due to the
Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) being less than 1%, which held the Highest Lawful Levy to a lower
dollar value.
• Alternatively though, there is an inverse relationship between the direction of the Taxable Value
in column A and the Levy Rate per $1,000 in column F. In other words, as the Taxable Value
increases (as is the case in 2018 and 2019) the Levy Rate per $1,000 decreases. Essentially
what occurs in this case is that even though the Levy Rate per $1,000 may decrease, the
actual amount paid by a property owner may not change significantly because the value of the
property has increased. By the same token, as the economy declines and Taxable Values
decrease, the Levy Rate per $1,000 will likely increase.
• In the years the City does not levy the increase in property tax revenue that is allowed by State
law (the lesser of the increase in the IPD or 1%), that potential increase is "banked" for
potential future use.
• The banked capacity can be accessed by the City through the annual property tax levy
ordinance adopted by the Council. However, the City may only take the banked capacity up to
a level where the levy rate per $1,000 of assessed value does not exceed $1.60.
• Accessing the banked capacity does not mean we can go back in time and collect the property
taxes we've left behind. It simply means we can reset the base upon which the calculation is
made.
OPTIONS: Passage of an ordinance is required by law in order to levy 2019 property taxes;
proceed to second reading of ordinance with or without modifications.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance #18-022 levying regular
property taxes for 2019, to a second reading.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance levies property taxes for the City's 2019 Budget
where we anticipate property tax revenues to be approximately $12,054,400 or 26.49% of total
General Fund recurring revenues of $45,496,900.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement with Sourcewell
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: 39.34 RCW
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: Cooperative purchasing is "Procurement conducted by, or on behalf of, one
or more Public Procurement Units" as defined by the American Bar Association Model
Procurement Code for State and Local Governments. Sourcewell is a service cooperative
created by the Minnesota legislature as a local unit of government. As a public corporation and
agency, Sourcewell is governed by elected officials, and employees are government
employees. As a public agency, Minnesota law establishes that Sourcewell can contract with all
education and government entities, as well as non-public schools and nonprofit organizations,
for cooperative membership. As a member of Sourcewell, through a Cooperative Agreement,
members become part of the Sourcewell Cooperative Purchasing collective. Currently, the
Sourcewell Cooperative has over 60,000 nation-wide members, including the cities of Spokane,
Millwood, Cheney, and Liberty Lake. Other local agencies that are members include Spokane
County and the Spokane Valley Fire Department. The leverage of resources from the
Sourcewell Cooperative allows for greater purchasing power and lowered pricing for
municipalities.
The Interlocal Cooperation Act, as amended, and codified in Chapter 39.34 of the Revised Code
of Washington (RCW), provides for cooperation between government agencies. During the
City's search to procure generators for City Hall and the Spokane Valley Police precinct
building, one of the purchasing options included working through a Cooperative Purchasing
Agreement with Sourcewell. Utilizing the cooperative purchasing benefits of Sourcewell has
shown that the City could receive more favorable costs for generator equipment rather than
purchasing directly from vendors.
OPTIONS: 1) Authorize execution of the Cooperative Purchasing Agreement; 2) Not authorize
the Purchasing Agreement; 3) Other direction as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute
the Intergovernmental Cooperative Purchasing Agreement with Sourcewell.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No impacts. Membership with Sourcewell is free.
