FOR CITY EMPLOYEES, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City Council desires to adopt benefits for City employees, including holidays,
vacation time and leave; and
WHEREAS, the benefits stated in this Resolution are subject to periodic review by the City
Council for the purpose of clarifying, modifying or deleting the same in order to serve the best interest of
the City as solely determined by the City Council pursuant to RCW 35A.11.020; and
WHEREAS, the employee benefits provided in this Resolution shall be applied equitably to all
Regular City employees unless provided otherwise through contract or other action of the City Council or
City Manager.
NOW THEREFORE, be it resolved by the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane

Resolution 19-001 Modifying Employee Leave Page 1 of 4
DRAFT
E. When a holiday falls within a period of paid leave, the holiday shall not be
counted as a leave day in computing the amount of leave debited.
Section 2. Vacation Benefits.
A. Vacation leave is established for the mutual benefit of the City and the
employee. The purpose of vacation leave is to provide employees with adequate time away from work and
to provide the City with well -rested and efficient employees, but no vested right to vacation leave is hereby
guaranteed by the City. Vacation leave may be used as soon as it is accrued.
B. Regular full-time employees shall accrue vacation at the following rate:
Initial hire through the fifth complete year of continuous employment - eight hours per month; after five
full years of continuous employment - 10 hours per month; after 10 full years of continuous employment -
12 hours per month; after 15 full years of continuous employment - 14 hours per month.
C. Regular part-time employees shall accrue vacation leave on a pro -rata
basis. For example, if an employee works 20 hours per week, vacation accrual shall be 50% of the above
amounts.
D. The maximum vacation accrual that will be paid upon separation or carried
forward at year end (December 31) shall be 360 hours.
E. When desired to induce a highly experienced prospective employee to
accept employment with the City, the City Manager is authorized to credit a maximum of 80 additional
hours of vacation leave to a prospective employee who has at least 10 years of prior successful experience
in a similar position for which the employee is being hired. The City Manager may further establish the
vacation accrual schedule for that employee as set forth in Subsection B.
Section 3. Sick Leave Benefits.
A. Sick leave is granted to Regular employees to be used in cases of illness,
accident, conditions which require medical treatment or supervision which require an employee to be absent
from work, care for a family member, or as otherwise provided for in 49.12 RCW, 296-130 WAC or 296-
128 WAC as adopted or as may be amended.
B. Sick leave has been established for the benefit of both the employee and
the employer, but no vested right to sick leave is hereby guaranteed by the City. In the event that abuse of
sick leave is suspected or excessive tardiness occurs, or after three consecutive days of sick leave, an
employee may be required to provide medical certification from his or her health care provider. Abuse of
sick leave or excessive tardiness may be grounds for disciplinary action, up to and including termination.
C. Sick leave shall be accrued by Regular full-time employees at the rate of
eight hours per month. Regular part-time employees shall accrue sick leave on a pro -rata basis. Sick leave
may be carried forward at year end. After an employee has accrued 720 hours of sick leave, the employee
may convert up to 96 hours of the sick leave accrued in the preceding 18 months to cash. For purposes of
converting sick leave to cash, 25% of the hours requested shall be converted to cash at the employee's
regular wage. For example, 96 hours of sick leave may be converted to 24 hours of regular pay.
D. An employee may use up to three days of Bereavement Leave in the case
of a death of a member of the employee's immediate family "Immediate family" shall be defined as spouse,
mother, father, mother-in-law, father-in-law, children, sister, brother, daughter-in-law, son-in-law,
sister-in-law, brother-in-law, grandparents and grandchildren.

Section 4. Military Leave.
A. Pursuant to RCW 38.40.060, any employee who is a member of the
Washington National Guard or a federal reserve unit shall be entitled to time off with pay for up to 21 work
days during each calendar year while participating in officially ordered military duty. A copy of the
employee's orders shall be placed in the employee's personnel file. Military leave shall not be deducted
from vacation or sick leave.
B. Any military leave time required in excess of the 21 days paid leave
authorized in paragraph A above shall be in conformance with the Uniformed Services Employment and
Reemployment Rights Act of 1994 (USERRA).
Section 5. Jury or Court Duty. A regular employee who is required to serve on a jury or as a
result of official City duties is required to appear before a court, legislative committee or quasi-judicial
body as a witness in response to a subpoena or other directive, shall be granted paid leave for the time that
the employee needs to be released from regular duties. Employees shall notify their supervisor as soon as
possible after having knowledge of their selection for jury duty. The employee shall be entitled to his or her
regular pay and the compensation received for jury or witness service shall be retained by the employee.
Section 6. Leave without Pay. Upon approval by the City Manager, leave without pay may
be granted for a period not to exceed 10 working days for illness, injury, educational purposes, or additional
vacation. Leave without pay may not be taken until an employee has exhausted his/her accrued paid leave
balances; provided however that at the sole discretion of the City Manager, paid leave balances may be
used in conjunction with leave without pay in order to minimize temporary impacts to employee's insurance
coverage.
Section 7. Leave of Absence Without Pay. At the sole discretion of the City Manager, an
employee may be granted a leave of absence without pay for a period of not less than two weeks and not
more than 26 weeks. Approval of such leave shall be in writing and signed by the City Manager. No
vacation or sick leave benefits or other fringe benefits shall accrue while an employee is on leave of absence.
The employee's anniversary date will be adjusted by the length of the leave granted. Upon expiration of the
leave of absence, the City may at its discretion reinstate the employee in the position held at the time the
leave was granted, offer the employee another available position, or take other appropriate action. The
employee's insurance coverage may be impacted. Terms of coverage shall be in accordance with the City's
insurance plan sponsor. A leave of absence without pay may not be taken until an employee has exhausted
his/her accrued paid leave balances; provided however that at the sole discretion of the City Manager, paid
leave balances may be used in conjunction with leave of absence without pay in order to minimize
temporary impacts to employee's insurance coverage.
Section 8. Family and Medical Leave. The City shall provide family and medical leave as
required under the applicable state and federal laws.
Section 9. No Vested Rights. Nothing in this Resolution shall be deemed to vest a right or
interest in the benefits hereby granted by the City, and the City Council retains the right to change any
benefit or provision of this Resolution at any time.
Section 10. Administration. The City Manager is authorized, directed, and empowered to
develop and promulgate administrative policies, procedures, rules, forms, and materials as needed to
implement the leave provisions adopted herein, consistent with all related state, federal, and City laws.

Mayor Higgins opened the public hearing at 6:12 p.m. and at his request, City Clerk Bainbridge mentioned
the two e-mails she received, both of which she said were also e-mailed to all Councilmembers; one from
Karin Morris who asked that Council consider allowing at least some open spaces, and the other from
Arthur Whitten of the Spokane Home Builders Association, indicating his support of removing the 'fee in
lieu of' language and that he also supports the amended ordinance to remove the 210 square foot
requirement. Planner Palaniuk explained the background of this proposed amendment, and the process this
went through with the Planning Commission and Council, and of Council's proposed substantive change
necessitating this public hearing; he went through the PowerPoint slides and stated that this proposed
change deals with open space requirements for residential development in mixed used zones only, and does
not apply to any other zone; and he stressed again that this does not apply to any other zones in our city
except mixed use and corridor mixed use zones. Mr. Palaniuk states that currently the Code exempts open
space requirements for parcels that are within 1300 feet of a park or trail, and that a substantial amount of
this corridor mixed use and mixed use zone is currently within 1300 feet of a park or trail. Mayor Higgins
opened the floor for public comments.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: asked whatever happened to the integrity of our neighborhoods; that
this is a dream come true for developers and contractors; she asked who Council is working for as it appears
they are not working for her; said she lives off Pines Road in that area and it is horrendous; they just keep
building and building; if Council keeps wanting to change the code, why do we need all the help we have;
said we have one code enforcement officer and the County has six; she gave a picture to the Clerk who
gave it for Council to see and pass around, and reference that picture, said this is what happened in her
neighborhood; said she owns her own property and lives in a mobile home; and that [depicted in the photo]
is three or four feet over the height requirements;; said she doesn't trust what they are trying to say now
with the MU or whatever zone; said permits were issued for that [reference the photo], and the top is
supposed to be storage; they changed it and added an office, and as is shown, there are windows on the
back and it has a sliding glass door and a veranda and she asked Councilmembers to please look at the
picture; that she doesn't approve of their definition because she doesn't know if it will happen on those
areas.
In backing up a little, Mayor Higgins explained the ground rules for giving comments; and then invited the
comments to continue.
Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley: read his prepared statement; said he wants to educate the general public
regarding eliminating green space, and remind Council how important this pending vote is and what it
means to the citizens; said for example, a 10 -second pause represents what it takes for several items that
occur on a Council agenda, to happen; that they could be making a motion from the Council dais to eliminate
green space from neighborhoods, or it could be a vote from our Planning Commission that is supposed to
have our citizen's' best interests in mind; or it could be a motion to suspend rules and rush a vote on a
matter; it could be our Mayor asking for a consensus regarding the changing of an ordinance or amendment
to the Growth Management Act; it could be a Council vote of four to three which might be influenced by
special interests or political ideology; and most importantly it could be the time it takes to change a person's
or a family's life or the integrity of numerous neighborhoods with a single vote; building and development
within the City is exponentially increasing and said he feels the process for this development in educating
the public needs to be more transparent and processes explored to educate and get more citizen's buy -in
when addressing changing the comp plan; asked if the average citizen has any idea what is happening
around them and what some of this terminology means that affects their lives and livelihood; and said it is
overwhelming; green space, the Growth Management Act, neighborhood integrity, open space
requirements in mixed use zones, development of duplexes and townhomes in our R-3 zones, that it is no
wonder developers and their allies are flooding the valley with all these new building and development
projects; said they are reaping a fortune from the broken system that lets them pave over city neighborhoods

for profit; said infrastructure is a second thought in the planning stages; impact fees for developers and
builders should be assessed instead of community citizens footing the bills; and said if this way of doing
business goes unabated, our valley will disappear; he strongly urged Council to vote down this motion to
get rid of the green space in these development standards, and recommends a quarterly Council forum
where citizens can have a dialogue with Councilmembers instead of the diminished comment period.
Ms. Carol Allen, Spokane Valley: said she understands a mixed use area is an area where there is both
residential and business activity; that 210 square feet is not very much space, but if you are in a mixed area
where people are living and where there are businesses occurring, you have even more need for a green
space; said you need buffers between businesses and neighborhood housing; you need places where people
can go and touch the grass; said the Planning Commission recommended 210 square feet; and said she
thinks the only reason Council wants to get rid of it is because you don't want government involved in
anything, which she said is weird because Council is government; and also because of the developers; said
all Council is concerned about is profit, profit for the valley and profit for the developers; said she wants
Council to maintain our green space as there isn't that much of it left.
Mr. Tim Lape, Spokane Valley: said he's heard on the campaign trail for city council, that people want to
maintain the rural picture of the Spokane Valley; said 210 square feet for open space is a small amount and
he thinks it should be more; said he thinks Council should work to provide more open spaces to save the
integrity of Spokane Valley and what people love about it; said the removal of the 210 square feet may be
a small amount, but it's a start and said he'd hate Council to go down the slippery slope and reduce even
more open spaces; said what is the purpose of the Planning Commission as this issue was sent to them and
they gave Council a recommendation which included the 210 square feet of open space; said he doesn't
know the reasons behind it, but the Council felt that nobody cares about open spaces, which he said is
totally false; and said he doesn't know why they did away with this on their own motion, and said it seems
to him that if you have a Planning Commission and they give Council a recommendation, that Council
should follow it; said he understands the Planning Commissioners are volunteers and have no axe to grind,
and that it bothers him that Council ignored the recommendation.
Ms. Donna O'Leary, Spokane Valley: said why are we considering this and why is this coming up; said she
is aware there is a Growth Management Act, and that the Valley has been growing but that she doesn't
understand why Council wants to continue to take property; said just about every Councilmember ran on
property rights, but whose, the people who already own and reside here or the developers; that the way she
sees it, it is growing way too fast and if it keeps up, we might as well change the name to the city of sardines.
There were no further public comments and Mayor Higgins closed the public hearing at 6:29 p.m.
2. Second Reading Ordinance 19-001 Code Text Amendment Open Space — Marty Palaniuk
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded
to approve Ordinance 19-001. Mr. Palaniuk said he is available if there are questions from Council.
Councilmember Woodard said he just wanted to make it clear that this is for the commercial mixed use and
the mixed use zones and Mr. Palaniuk confirmed he is correct. Councilmember Woodard further stated that
this does not affect residential zoning, or the multi -family zoning, or the commercial or industrial land; and
Mr. Palaniuk confirmed he is correct. Mr. Palaniuk stated that it also does not affect public open spaces, as
this is talking about private open space dedications required as part of development. Councilmember Wood
said he worked on this and this originated with him; that he was working for over one and a half years on
the comp plan and zoning regulations, and said he went through it line by line looking at areas he thought
were detrimental to property owners, developers, and other people and said he thought it was an over -reach
by government. Councilmember Wood then read his statement: "By eliminating the open space requirement
in the MU and CMU zones, we will be maximizing the density of development along transit corridors and
commercial areas. This will help in providing mixed use residential projects in those areas where sometimes
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 01-08-2019 Page 3 of 11
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
lot size could be prohibitive if the open space requirement was imposed." Councilmember Wood said he
therefore supports this amendment.
Councilmember Wick stated that we have now covered that it does not apply to residential or multi -family
zones, and asked what does it apply to; and asked if this would be any multi -family development inside the
mixed use zones. Mr. Palaniuk replied, yes, that it would be for any residential development inside of a
mixed use or a corridor mixed use zone. Councilmember Wick said therefore we now allow an apartment
complex or something like that to be built inside of our mixed use zones, and Mr. Palaniuk confirmed that
is correct and that would be a permitted use inside those zones. Mr. Wick asked if that would also apply to
the mixed use zones where there is residential and business, and do they also in the existing Code, have
open space requirements and that's been removed too? Mr. Palaniuk responded that the existing Code has
a requirement of the 210 square feet; there are some exemptions that are permitted in that Code section;
now if there are less than ten dwelling units they do not have to provide the open space standard; if they are
within 1300 feet of a public park or trail they are not required to provide that open space; and he stated that
approximately 60% of the parcels within these zones are within 1300 feet of a park or trail; so that means
we are talking about applying this to about 40% of the corridor mixed use and mixed use zones, or the
parcels within those zones.
Councilmember Peetz said that in looking over the materials, some of this requires within a quarter -mile of
a public park or trail, but that does not mean that every piece of property is within a quarter -mile of a public
park or trail, so it's not all of them just most; she said she feels that disadvantages the properties that aren't
near open space; and a couple of things that people in support of this have said, that Spokane and Spokane
County do not require open space in mixed zones and may feel it is an economic disadvantage that they are
going to Spokane and Spokane County and then coming here and it's not the same across the board; she
said we are not Spokane, we are Spokane Valley and she wants to keep the integrity of the neighborhoods
and preserve what open space we have left so she therefore does not support this amendment.
Councilmember Thompson said she also is not in favor of this amendment because she feels the word
`residential' is the key word here: residents are where people are living; said as we see affordable housing
becoming more of a problem, more people will live in mixed use areas and multi -use unit places and said
she thinks providing for open space, 210 feet is per unit so it's not just a small space, but would be enough
so there could be swing sets or benches, or walking, or a place to connect with the trail; which she said she
thinks is about the integrity of our community, and she wants to maintain that integrity and said she will
vote against this.
Deputy Mayor Haley said that she looks at this as being mainly along Sprague and Trent and that needs
some revitalization; said she knows there are developers who want to do a type of `Kendall -yard' thing in
Spokane Valley, which they currently can't do; that there are so many vacancies along Sprague and that
she thinks it would be nice to have businesses with apartments above them that are reasonable; that we are
well within walking distance to the trail or to parks from virtually any of those places. Councilmember
Woodard said the misunderstanding about mixed use is pretty astounding in some ways; that this helps to
bring more affordable housing within those corridors; that a builder can probably make some units that
become affordable or at least where a lot of this comes from is a person who wants to run a business on the
main floor but live above it; those are generally the kinds of lots we are talking about; and it gives other
potential options and opportunities to make it affordable to do some of these kinds of developments that
everybody seems to be against; he said it is not in your residential zone and it does not affect multi -family,
and 210 square feet per unit does not have to be accumulated all in one space and could be like a back patio;
said it is not in the front as he would hate to have a swing set in the front yard on Sprague or on Trent or
Pines or any of them where traffic is 35 mph or more; but this 210 feet is another room for a business or an
the upstairs apartment and said he is in favor of this amendment as it creates another option for business
and for accumulating properties together and coming up with a nice strip, boutique -type business area with

apartments above; and said he is for open space and we are continuing to create that with our park and trail
system, but having open space on Trent, Sprague or Pines where there is high speed doesn't make sense to
him.
Councilmember Wick said he is open to having a development with a mixed use and there are many other
communities that do so and that he too would like to see those kind of developments; but that he thinks the
Planning Commission's recommendation would help us get there; he mentioned the exemption of within
1300 feet of a public park or trail, so we talk about Sprague Avenue or Appleway, we have the Appleway
Trail so plenty within that 1300 feet would be exempt from the requirements of open space; which he said
is similar to the current Code; he stated that Trent doesn't have any mixed use or corridor mixed use along
that corridor, but as we talk about 60% of this mixed use area is within the 1300 feet, which means, he said
we are talking about the other 40% not within the 1300 feet; said he's not saying he is opposed to
development or this kind of development or mixed use as he'd really like to see that, but that he also wants
to make sure the infrastructure is in place; and so as we deem where our infrastructure is needed is more of
those parks, or open spaces, or trails so that way they don't have to be accommodated in these projects; said
he thinks the 1300 feet that has come through the Planning Commission is a good compromise and allows
us to do these kinds of things along the Sprague Appleway corridor where there is infrastructure in place
and incentives to open those up if we provided the infrastructure such as parks or trails along these
neighborhoods that we want to do it in; he said it puts the onus back on us to expand our trails and park
system to support more of this kind of development; he further noted that the Home Building Association
was the only public comment the Planning Commission received, and the Home Building Association also
submitted a letter to Council today saying they support not only the Planning Commission's
recommendation, but also the one that we are in today; said no one has really come out against the Planning
Commission's recommendation which includes the 1300 foot buffer; said he supports the Planning
Commission's recommendation which came forward and includes the 1300 foot requirement, but said as
the motion is he is against the motion but would be open if there is any other member of Council who might
be interested in going back to the Planning Commission's recommendation.
Vote by Acclamation: In favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Haley, and Councilmembers Woodard and
Wood. Opposed: Councilmembers Peetz, Wick, and Thompson. Motion carried.

Councilmember Wick asked that voucher #46422 on page 5, which is a payment to Wick Enterprizes, be
removed and set aside. City Attorney Driskell said that instead of giving his administrative report later on
the agenda, he will be giving it now as it relates directly to this issue. Mr. Driskell said this came up last
month and he had a brief discussion with Council about a way to make this a little smoother; and that he
had initially told Council that there is a process for that; he stated the applicable law for this is RCW
42.23.070 which identifies among prohibited acts for councilmembers, that contracts with councilmembers
are prohibited with some exceptions, in that if a municipality wants to use a business owned by a
councilmember, it can but the expenditures cannot exceed $1500 per month, and any such contract must be
maintained in a publicly assessable database, and that as Mr. Wick has done in the past, he would not be
able to participate in the vote. Further, Mr. Driskell said in the future, staff can remove such voucher from

the original list, to a separate voucher making it easier not to miss; and on that issue, as usual, the
councilmember would recuse themselves from discussion and from the vote on that voucher. Mr. Driskell
said we use Mr. Wick's publication on several occasions as we do with other publications, so it is not
favoring one publication over another. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously
agreed to approve the amended consent agenda with Mr. Wick's voucher payment. for his publication, being
removed. Councilmember Wick recused himself and left the room. It was then moved by Deputy Mayor
Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to approve the $350.00 expense voucher for the Current.
Councilmember Wick returned to the room.
NEW BUSINESS:
4. Motion Consideration: Amended Legislative Agenda — Cary Driskell
Deputy Mayor Haley recused herself from this agenda item since one section refers to child care licensing and
she owns two childcares, and she left the room. It was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded to
approve the proposed amended 2019 legislative agenda. City Attorney Driskell explained that last November,
Council approved its legislative agenda; on December 11, Council had a meeting here in Council Chambers
with most of its legislative delegation and in discussing legislative issues, Council indicated a desire to consider
an amended 2019 legislative agenda relating to child care issues; and he noted the existing language under the
"Protect Businesses by Reforming State Regulatory Burden" discussed Labor & Industries, which he said is
also contained in another legislative item; and the amendment for tonight, which is in response to the discussion
held at the December 11 meeting, is to address a need to form the Department of Children, Youth and Families
oversight program. Mayor Higgins invited public comments.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said he is talking about process and open and accountable government,
that when we do propositions without a dollar value, it seems that is an off way to do business when asking
taxpayers to pay for something; said as part of the County, our taxpayers are paying the same percentage as
the people in town are, for example, sales tax; he mentioned the last tax proposition was passed by 80% of the
people who he said are apparently fine in giving fire, police and emergency communication, a blank check;
said he's a retired firefighter and supports firefighters, but said he wants to know how much money they want
to spend; and that there's a great variation between what they said they needed and what has been generated;
and said that no one ever bothered to tell the people that there's millions of dollars generated that weren't
initially suggested they would need; said he doesn't know if it's too late to have our legislators look into this;
and said he'd appreciate it if Council would look into this in more detail to make sure that anything on a ballot
that asks for taxpayer dollars, let's make sure we have at least an estimate, of how much that will cost.
There were no further public comments. Councilmember Woodard explained that this a legislative agenda that
Council is trying to bring to the State through our legislative delegation; and that any interference with business
that is compounding child care business, or L&I needs to be reviewed, and that is what Council is asking in
this agenda, as it is getting difficult for child care centers to operate. Councilmember Wick said it appears to
him that we are including this as an example in that agenda item and asked for clarification, that this is not like
we are going to have our lobbyist fight for child care reform. City Manager Calhoun said that is an accurate
assessment. Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried. Deputy Mayor Haley
returned to the room.
5. Motion Consideration: Barker Rd/I-90 Interchange, WSDOT Modified Agreement — Gloria Mantz
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the
Interlocal Agreement with WSDOT for Engineering Services associated with the Barker Road/I-90 Westbound
Interchange Project. Engineering Manager Mantz explained the purpose of the modified agreement, as
outlined in her Request for Council Action Form. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were
offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.

for Council Action form, and as previously explained. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments
were offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
7. Mayoral Appointments- Planning Commissioners — Mayor Higgins
Mayor Higgins gave a brief explanation of the duties of the Planning Commissioners, in that they serve without
compensation, and act as a screening source largely for property issues for the City. It was moved by Deputy
Mayor Haley and seconded to confirm the Mayor's nominations for Planning Commission appointments of
James (JJ) Johnson, Timothy Kelley, and Robert McKinley, each for a three-year term beginning January 1,
2019, and ending December 31, 2021. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered.
Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
8. Mayoral Appointments: Councilmembers to Committees — Mayor Higgins
At the Mayor's request, City Clerk Bainbridge read the list of proposed committee appointments: (1) Aging
& Long Term Care of Eastern Washington — Rod Higgins; (2) Chamber of Commerce Board — Arne
Woodard; (3) Clean Air Agency — Rod Higgins; (4) City Finance Committee: Rod Higgins, Pam Haley,
Sam Wood; (5) GMA (Growth Mgmt Steering Committee of Elected Officials) — Rod Higgins, Sam Wood;
(6) City Governance Manual Committee — Arne Woodard, Sam Wood, Linda Thompson; (7) GSI — Rod

(15) Tourism Promotion Area (TPA) — Brandi Peetz; (16) Visit Spokane — Ben Wick, and Linda Thompson
as alternate; and (17) Wastewater Policy Advisory Board — Arne Woodard, Rod Higgins. It was moved by
Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointments of Councilmembers to the
committees and boards as listed above. Mayor Higgins explained that with the exception of the TPA
appointment, all appointments for 2019 are the same as they were for 2018. Councilmember Paetz said
there are eight committees that don't have alternates, and she suggested perhaps she could be an alternate
for one of those; said she understands that the TPA doesn't meet very often, and said she wanted to offer
her assistance on those other committees. Mayor Higgins said we will look into that possibility. Mayor
Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous.
Opposed: None. Motion carried.
9. Mayoral Appointment: Hotel/Motel (TPA) Hotelier Appointment — Mayor Higgins
Mayor Higgins explained that this appointment is different as this is an at -large appointment. It was moved by
Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointment of Chris Nelson with the Mirabeau
Park Hotel, to the Spokane Hotel/Motel Commission for a three-year term beginning immediately upon
appointment. Mayor Higgins invited public comments. Ms. Carol Allen, Spokane Valley: said she wanted to
know the qualifications of these people who are being appointed. Ms. Peggy Doering, Spokane Valley: she
asked for clarification if this is for a three-year term, and it was confirmed it is; she recommended Council
review the qualifications for these positions and perhaps set term limits on some of these people who are
coming forward; said she has served on many committees and removed herself so others can serve; and that it
would be good to have others have the opportunity to serve. There were no further public comments. Mayor
Higgins asked the City Clerk if this position was advertised. City Clerk Bainbridge explained that this
committee appointment is a little different and comes to us from the Spokane Hotel/Motel Association, and
according to their bylaws, they send us a list of recommendations; that we advertise it on our website; and this
was the only person who applied. Councilmember Wick said we are doing this for a three-year term, but noticed

in the packet this appointment is due to a resignation, and he said normally the appointment would complete
the resigning member's unexpired term. Ms. Bainbridge said that according to the SHMA, this is to replace a
resigning member, and it is for a three-year term; and to clarify, Mr. Nelson is not the person who just resigned.
Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Higgins explained the process, and invited general public comments.
Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley: said regarding recent changes made to the Governance Manual in limiting
public comments at city council meetings; said he did a little research and found the following from the
First Amendment Coalition, Defending Free Speech & the Public's Right to Know, specifically their intake
on limiting public comments at meetings; said he would like to quote from their article: "The Brown Act
requires a legislative body to provide an opportunity for members of the public to directly address the
legislative body on any item of interest to the public;" said it also talks about regulations limiting the total
amount of time allocated for public testimony on particular issues and for each speaker; the Brown Act
itself does not define what a reasonable time limit would be but said he believes our present time of three
minutes is appropriate and that should remain; every citizen that so desires should be given the opportunity
to address the council; by moving public comments toward the end of the meeting, you are sending a
message to the citizens that their comments mean nothing; the Council's business is over at the end of the
meeting. You have also put a cap on these comments at 45 minutes in total; this way of doing business is
not transparent or productive; it is your job to listen and give respect to any citizen that wants to come
forward; this article went on to state that any attempt to impose or apply a time limit to prevent a particular
individual from criticizing the Council, or to prevent comments on a particular item, may be in violation of
the Brown Act and the First Amendment; said it would be his request to return the directives of the
Governance Manual back to what they previously were; in effect, two public comment periods, and limiting
speakers to the aforementioned three minutes; said he would also suggest the allowance of a citizen's forum
to be conducted on a quarterly basis and to take the place of one of the study sessions; this forum would
give our citizens the opportunity to dialogue with councilmembers and get answers from council and staff
regarding various issues that come up in the community; said that as he has become more involved in the
governance procedures within Spokane Valley, he has witnessed and come to the understanding the
difficulty in navigating the present system; depending on the issue and who you talk with, many times you
are given different answers; if answers given are subject to interpretation, it is difficult and sometimes non-
existent to ask for a second opinion or an appeal. Mr. West said he would also propose looking at the
possibility of an administrative ombudsman for the City to assist citizens in navigating the labyrinth of
statutes and ordinances pertaining to these issues and depending upon the department, how to appeal
findings; and said that he would hope these recommendations will be given due consideration in the future.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: said she wanted to talk about impact fees; she mentioned Eagle Point
Apartments; said when they put that in, they had to do the road which is Jackson, connect the sidewalks all
the way around, and upkeep on their landscaping; and said that two out of three "ain't bad." She said the
Mirabeau Ranch Estates above the Eagle Point and above where she lives, they had to put up part of the
agreement of putting in that development; said she thinks it was either $400,000 or $700,000 to upgrade
Mansfield and Pines; it helped put in that light do some upgrades; and she asked why we can't do something
like that; that it would help pay for the roads, and other things that are needed; and she suggested putting
some of this back on the developers instead of on the citizens.
Ms. Rhonda Stapleton, Spokane Valley: said she's lived here since they built their house and it is a
wonderful place to raise your children; said her issue is the City is letting too many businesses decide what
they are going to do; said she is referring to the new construction at 604 S. Sullivan; said they are putting
in a Domino's Pizza and two other little businesses into that stretch mall; said she was told they were going
to completely fence in that commercial property; said she has now found out that the property owner wants
to leave access off of her dead-end street, Newer Road; she said that on a little piece of 6th Street, which
has never been maintained by the City or the County prior to the City's incorporation; she said the only
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 01-08-2019 Page 8 of 11
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
maintenance on that abutment of 6th that's ever been done was done by her or her family; and the problem
she's going to have is twelve homes on a dead-end street, and Domino's Pizza coming in right on Sullivan;
she said they will be coming through that little abutment on 6th Street going down Newer Street; she said
they are taking away her dead-end street, that several families have just moved into this area and is a great
place for families; and as this is going on, she said property values are plummeting but they will still have
to pay the same taxes; that once her road becomes a thoroughfare for delivery drivers, for the general public
who don't want to have to deal with Sullivan, decide to come up off of Newer and come into that nice little
development that's not fenced off; she said she is speaking for all the neighbors, and said they will start
coming to Council meetings, and if Council is going to let this mixed unit of a building be built on the front
of Sullivan, but them let them do whatever they want and use her private roads for access, said she believes
that is wrong and thinks that something needs to be done about it.
Mr. Wes Teterud, President of Widow's Might: said his organization invited Council to an appreciation
luncheon back in December, and because of some regulations Council couldn't come, so he decided to
come here to express his organization's appreciation on behalf of the eleven member board of trustees and
over 3,400 widows in Spokane Valley; he said the City gave them a very nice Outside Agency grant and
he wanted to express his deep gratitude and to encourage Council to continue to do that kind of work
because he doesn't know of any other kind of civic organization or government that offers that kind of grant
to nonprofits, and he again expressed his appreciation, and gave some examples of how that grant money
is helping in Spokane Valley.
Ms. Peggy Doering, Spokane Valley: said in looking at 2019, she has some expectations and vision and she
hopes Council can share that in planning for our City in 2019; she mentioned our young city is growing,
and said she would like to believe that Council with the input of all citizens, can have a vision as to what
we should look like in livability, building codes, streets, and other amenities, which includes venues, parks,
recreation spaces and a safe community; said her vision would like us to consider our street accesses and
construction of our arterials and that this will be a huge impact on many if we don't start addressing arterials
and the impact of more people and housing, and especially all the apartments; said a vision should also
include planning more pocket parks, city parks, and recreation venues; said she has been to a lot of city
council meetings and listening to the development, and we are not asking them to put any green space into
these developments of over 220 homes; said we need citizen input on what projects we'd like to have; and
with the sports facility, said she thinks this needs to be reviewed and council needs input from the citizens
who will be paying for this eventually, including maintenance; said she would like to see if we can start
putting citizen impact or focus groups together and start talking about our needs; that we hear a lot of people
talking but said she thinks it is time to take action and put our vision to work.
Mr. Tim Lape, Spokane Valley: said now what the snow season is upon us, snow on sidewalks is a concern;
said he lives in an apartment complex and they come down N. Cherry, there is a school bus stop and an
STA bus stop, but the sidewalks were unavailable to stand on, so school kids and those waiting for the STA
bus were standing in the street; he said there were other STA bus stops where the snow was piled up two
to three feet high; said he doesn't know if there is an ordinance requiring adjacent property owners to keep
the area clean, but thinks there should at least be an emphasis on school bus and STA stop areas to be given
a priority to be cleaned up; said he thinks it is a safety issue and has seen kids slide off the banks that are
on the sidewalk, down into the street; and said he would like to see something done about that as it is scary
to watch.
Mr. Brian Falteisek, Operations Manager with Lime of Spokane- he said Lime is the global leader in smart
mobility; they have revolutionized urban centers with smart, multi -modal transportation solutions that he
said are free to cities; said they are carbon -neutral; that they recently ran a very successful pilot program
with the City of Spokane where they saw over 40,000 individual riders circle the earth five separate times
in the miles they rode in only two months; he said the city sponsored a survey and 3500 people responded,
Minutes Regular Council Meeting: 01-08-2019 Page 9 of 11

DRAFT
with 75% stating Lime is good for the city and they want to see Lime long-term; he said Lime is the efficient,
affordable, and fun transportation option; their service complements existing transit options and makes that
last mile connection possible; they free up parking spaces, mitigate pollution and generally make life more
fun; said he would like to see Lime in Spokane Valley and said Spokane Valley would benefit from Lime;
said they provide economic opportunities, they hire locally, their warehouse is in Spokane Valley, and said
he guarantees Council will see users smiling as they head to and from their destinations; said if Council can
agree on a time to meet, he would appreciate that and he left several of his business cards with the City
Clerk for distribution to Councilmembers.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said he wants to address a public safety issue; as a legislative body of
any city or county, it is always mentioned that the number one priority is the safety of its citizens, which he
said is as it should be; said we have a problem in that adjacent to us we have a city that is a sanctuary city;
said they don't want to admit that but its open knowledge in any other state on the West Coast, and that
creates a problem for us; said he'd like to know if there is a definitive way to address the criminal element
in our area in the valley that are illegal aliens; he said it is important to define this problem and said he is
not sure there is any mechanism put in place to do that; and said until we come up with a mechanism we
really don't know; he said what we do know is those people that come to Spokane as a sanctuary city, cost
us and everybody in the United Sates $70,000 a year; there is a U.S. Federal Code, perhaps 18 but said he
doesn't remember the section numbers, that any entity that knowingly transports these people or accepts
them and gives them aid, it's a violation of a U.S. federal law; said he thinks this issue needs to be examined
and would be smart for us to do because they don't stay in Spokane, they spread out throughout the
community, throughout the county and probably several other counties; and said most of them he's sure are
fine people, however, until we can define them by looking at them or vetting them, which he said is a bit
difficult to do when you come from many of the nations they come from; said there's no record of these
people, we don't know who they are, and said he doesn't think we should accept people who; said many of
them who cross the border are terrorists; listen to the border agents, they'll tell you; and said he thinks it is
a problem right here that any time you are close to a sanctuary city, you've got a problem.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
10. Resolution Regarding Holidays, Vacation, and Leave Benefits — John Whitehead
Human Resources Manager Whitehead explained that Council approved Resolution 06-026 in December
2006 to delineate the various leave benefits provided to city employees; and that in November, 2018,
Council also ratified the 2019-2021 Collective Bargaining Agreement describing the benefits provided to
city employees; and this resolution updates those benefits and replaces the resolution of 2006. There was
Council consensus to bring this resolution on the January 22 consent agenda for council approval
consideration.
11. Spokane Valley Current Magazine, Claim Vouchers — Cary Driskell
This item was explained during the consent agenda.
12. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Woodard requested that the Mayor convene some kind of a task force or work group that
has to do with solid waste, to include a representative from the City Manager, from Legal, from City
Engineer Henry Allen and the water and garbage contract part of the people so we have them represented,
along with the purveyors that take care of our solid waste, including Waste Management, Sunshine and also
those purveyors that are not, so we can have a serious discussion about what's happening in the world of
garbage as things are rapidly changing; said he's been doing some research on solid waste issues to try to
figure out the various aspects of recycling, new container development, new laws on straws, plastic bags,
and that we should have a conversation to try to stay or get in front of some of the changes that the state is
also starting to do particularly on recyclables; and to include two or three Councilmembers on that task
force as well. Four Councilmembers raised their hand in agreement.

Councilmember Wood said he thinks what Ms. Doering said was very good about the idea about a vision
and that he likes the idea of focus groups, although said he doesn't know how such groups could be
orchestrated or put together, and he looked to the City Manager. Mr. Calhoun said Ms. Doering had an
interesting comment, and as far as focus groups, if you think about it that happens in several ways; said the
comp plan for example is the vision for how is this city going to grow over the next seven years; in 2019
staff will be bringing forward to Council an updated Park Master Plan where we are going to be seeking
public input; and staff will also be bringing forward to Council in 2019, an update on our Bike and
Pedestrian Master Plan; he said we take these items on in individual segments and through all those process,
we seek public input; he said that the big item would be the Comp Plan which Council adopted in December
of 2016, and again stated that this year we will look at the Park Master Plan, and the Bike and Pedestrian
Master Plan; regarding Ms. Doering's comment on the sports facility, he said if Council and the community
were leaning in that direction, when staff brings that forward that will have a council conversation again;
said staff have been busy working through the budget development, but in a meeting in approximately last
August, Council had selected three out of ten possible tourism concepts, and at that point Council asked
staff to come back for additional conversations concerning those three selections items, i.e. completing the
CenterPlace West Lawn project, replacing a building at the Spokane County Fairgrounds, and the sportsplex
idea; he said we have done quite a bit of analysis on each of those and need to determine what else to bring
back to Council; but particularly with the sportsplex, our optimistic analysis shows that would be a $2
million annual cash outflow from our general fund, and we know Council would want to think hard on that
and have public input on that as we move through those items.
Councilmember Thompson said that next Monday the Spokane Valley Youth Voice group will be finalizing
plans for an community inclusion engagement event on February 11 which would be their regular meeting,
where they want to invite the community to talk about things that the youth see as important to them; and
said she will have something to report on that next week, and said Councilmembers Peetz and Wick have
been assisting with that, and said that is about engaging the community and talking about issues.

CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Calhoun mentioned we have fifteen City staff members here tonight which represents 16%
of our workforce, and by comparison, if Spokane City had 16% of their workforce at a meeting, they would
see about 320 staff sitting out here; and said it is impressive the large staff turnout we have for so many of
our Council meetings.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration Appleway Trail — University to Pines Amenities
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 3.40, 3.41
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• Admin report on amending the purchasing code relating to public contracting; December 11,
2018
• Approved construction of Appleway Trail — University to Pines project. Completed in 2015.
• Approved 2017 Legislative Agenda containing the Appleway Trail University to Pines
amenities project.
• Approved Ordinance 18-028 amending chapter 3.40 and 3.41 SVMC relating to purchasing
requirements.
BACKGROUND: The Appleway Trail Project — University to Pines Amenities was a project
included in the City's 2017 Legislative Agenda. The City received a 2018 Legislative Direct
Appropriation Grant for this project in the amount of $539,320. This project will provide park
amenities for the first mile of the Appleway Trail, from University Road to Pines Road. The park
amenities will include, but are not limited to, a restroom, topsoil, limited turf and dryland seeding,
trees, drinking fountain, and benches. The City previously designed and constructed the paved
portion of this first mile with over $1.6 million of its own funds in 2015. The grant requires that the
project be completed by June 30, 2019.
Bids were scheduled to be opened on November 30, 2018. However, no bids were received. The
grant requires that the project be completed by June 30, 2019. SVMC chapter 3.40 indicates that
if no bids are received, City staff may negotiate with any available contractor. Staff has been able
to negotiate a contract with AM Landshaper, Inc. to complete this project by June 30, 2019. The
negotiated contract price of $653,670.40 includes the Base Bid and Alternates #2 (site furniture),
#3 (trees & irrigation) and #4 (drinking fountain). Funding for this contract will be $539,320 from
the State and $125,000 available in the Park Capital Fund #309 reserve balance.
OPTIONS: (1) Authorize staff to execute AM Landshaper, Inc. contract; or (2) take other action
as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the construction contract with AM Landshaper, Inc. for the Appleway Trail Amenities
Project in the amount of $653,670.40.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Spokane Valley was awarded $539,320 from a fiscal year
ending June 30, 2019, legislative direct appropriation for this project. Based upon the contract
cost, the $539,320 grant will need to be supplemented with the available reserve balance in the
Park Capital Project Fund #309, which is estimated at $125,000, in order to fund the project. The
2019 Budget does not currently reflect an appropriation from Fund #309 for this project and as a
consequence, a 2019 Budget Amendment will be necessary.

CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT
Am Landshaper, Inc.
Contract No.
THIS CONSTRUCTION AGREEMENT (the "Agreement") is made by and between the City of
Spokane Valley, a code City of the State of Washington ("City") and AM Landshaper, Inc., ("Contractor")
jointly referred to as the "Parties".
IN CONSIDERATION of the terms and conditions contained herein the Parties agree as follows:
1. Work to Be Performed. Contractor shall do all work and furnish all labor, supervision, tools, materials,
supplies, and equipment and other items necessary for the construction and completion of the Appleway Trail
Amenities University to Pines Project (the "Work") in accordance with documents described in Exhibit A and
in accordance with this Agreement (which are by this reference incorporated herein and made part hereof and
referred to as the "Contract Documents"), and shall perform any changes in the work in accordance with the
Contract Documents. The terms and provisions in this Agreement shall control over any inconsistent or
incompatible terms in any other Contract Document.
Contractor shall, for the amount set forth in paragraph 4, below, assume and be responsible for the cost and
expense of all work required for constructing and completing the Work and related activities to the City's
satisfaction, provided for in the Contract Documents, within the time limits prescribed in the Contract
Documents.
The City Manager or designee shall administer and be the primary contact for Contractor. Upon notice from
City, Contractor shall promptly commence work, complete the same in a timely manner, and cure any failure in
performance under this Agreement.
Unless otherwise directed by City, all work shall be performed in conformance with the Contract Documents,
and all City, state, and federal standards, codes, ordinances, regulations, and laws as now existing or as may be
adopted or amended.
2. Time for Performance. Contractor shall commence the Work within 10 days of receipt of a notice to
proceed and shall complete the Work by June 30, 2019 or as may be extended in accordance with this
Agreement and the Contract Documents.
3. Liquidated Damages. Time is of the essence for this Agreement. Delays cause inconvenience to the
residents of City and cost taxpayers undue sums of money, adding time needed for administration, engineering,
inspection, and supervision. It is impractical for City to calculate the actual cost of delays. Accordingly,
Contractor agrees to pay liquidated damages for failure to achieve Substantial Completion (as defined in the
Contract Documents) which shall be in the amount of $300.00 per day. These liquidated damages are not a
penalty, but are fixed and agreed upon by and between Contractor and City because of the impracticability and
difficulty of fixing and ascertaining the actual damages that City would sustain in the event that the Work is not
completed in accordance with the Contract Documents. Liquidated damages may be retained by City and
deducted from payments otherwise due to the Contractor.
4. Compensation. In consideration of Contractor performing the Work, City agrees to pay Contractor in
accordance with the Contract Documents the sum of $600,800.00, plus Washington State Sales Tax of
Construction Agreement Page 1 of 9
DRAFT
$52,870.40 (if applicable), for a total of $653,670.40, based on the bid submitted by Contractor (Exhibit B),
and as may be adjusted in accordance with the Contract Documents.
5. Payment. Contractor may elect to be paid in monthly installments, upon presentation of an application for
payment in a form satisfactory to City. Applications for payment shall be sent to the City Finance Department
at the address stated in paragraph 6.
Pursuant to chapter 60.28 RCW, five percent of the compensation due Contractor shall be retained by City.
City reserves the right to withhold payment under this Agreement for that portion of the work (if any) which is
determined in the reasonable judgment of the City Manager or designee to be noncompliant with the Contract
Documents, City standards, City Code, state standards, or federal standards.
6. Notice. Notice other than applications for payment shall be given in writing as follows:

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — 2018 Code Enforcement Report
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 7.05 SVMC; chapter 17.100 SVMC; chapter 7.48 RCW.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
November, 2017: Approved 2018 Legislative Agenda which included an item addressing
abandoned/foreclosed homes
January, 2018: amended SVMC 7.05 and 17.100 regarding chronic nuisances and code
enforcement procedures
BACKGROUND: The City has an active code enforcement program. In recent years, there have
been a number of changes, both in personnel and in the types of nuisances addressed. This
report will provide an overview of some of those changes and the success of the City's code
enforcement program in 2018.
2018 Highlights
A number of changes occurred in 2018 to the City's code enforcement program. It was the first
full year for our new Code Enforcement Officer, Nicole Montano. It was also the first year for the
part-time code enforcement attorney position in the Office of the City Attorney. The City hired
Rachelle McFetridge in early 2018. When Rachelle pursued other opportunities, the City hired
Caitlin Prunty, who is the current code enforcement attorney.
With full staffing, the City was able to address a historical number of cases in 2018, both
administratively and through litigation. Through Code Enforcement, the City responded to and
successfully addressed over 700 complaints. Further, the City was able to address two significant
nuisance properties that had an abundance of garbage, litter, and junk as well as significant
criminal activities occurring onsite. Those properties are now in the midst of complete renovation
and restoration by new owners. The result has been very positive for the neighbors as these
properties are now being put back into productive and meaningful use within the neighborhood.
Further, the City has been implementing new state and local laws to address challenging nuisance
properties. In 2018, the State Legislature adopted laws to allow the City and mortgage holders
(banks) to address nuisances at abandoned properties that are in the midst of foreclosure.
Previously, banks were unable to address nuisances at abandoned properties until the
foreclosure sale was complete. Now, once the City determines the property to be in mid -
foreclosure and abandoned, the banks may address nuisance violations onsite.
The City also adopted criminal chronic nuisance provisions in early 2018. These regulations allow
the City to abate criminal nuisance properties where there are at least five or more instances of
ongoing criminal activity and to remove the offending persons and owners. This allows the City
to address the root problem — namely the criminal activity occurring at the residence or business.
Page 1 of 3
The City continues to work actively with Spokane Valley Police to implement the criminal chronic
nuisance provisions.
In 2018, the City also successfully cooperated with Model and Carnhope Irrigation Districts to
address certain unfit dwellings. Through assistance from Model and Carnhope, the City was able
to abate multiple unfit dwellings. This work benefitted the City and neighbors by addressing
unsafe and uninhabitable nuisance properties. Further, it benefitted the Districts because they
addressed properties that were delinquent in water payments. Ultimately, those properties are
now being restored by new owners and will be put back into productive use within the community.
Code Enforcement— Process Overview
The following is a recap of the materials that staff provided in June 2018 to provide a reference
of the code enforcement process. This material will be covered briefly in the presentation.
Chapter 7.05 SVMC identifies and designates those conditions that constitute public nuisances
within Spokane Valley. The City's Code Enforcement program also addresses any violations of
the City's development codes (chapters 19-24 SVMC). The most common types of nuisances we
have dealt with over the years have involved accumulations of trash, junk vehicles, and
accumulations of broken machinery or equipment, and enforcement of the City's land use, zoning,
and building provisions. Less frequently, we deal with other types of nuisance violations such as
illegal structures, encroachments on sidewalks (vegetation, debris), fire hazards, noise, dust,
graffiti, excessive yard sales and unfit dwellings.
A nuisance case may be initiated in one of several ways, including observation by City staff, on
referral from another agency, or through receipt of information from citizens. When Ms. Montano
initiates a code compliance investigation, she will generally engage in the following process:
- visit the property in person to determine whether there is a likely violation;
- if so, attempt to make contact with the owner or occupant in an effort to get compliance
through the easiest means possible, voluntary compliance;
- if it cannot be cleaned up immediately, a warning notice would then likely be issued to provide
specific information on the nature of the violation, as well as what is necessary to cure it
including applicable timeframes;
- most people are interested in executing a Voluntary Compliance Agreement (VCA) with the
City, which details what will be done, including timeframes, to come into compliance.
Successful completion of the terms of the VCA results in suspension of the penalty;
- staff would follow up after the time for compliance in the warning notice had expired. If the
violation was taken care of, the City would issue a letter to that effect;
- if the violation had not been eliminated, the City would issue a Notice and Order, which if not
appealed, assesses a minimum penalty of $500 and identifies the time by which the violation
must be abated by the property owner or occupant;
- if the Notice and Order is not appealed, and the violation not cleaned up, then the case would
get referred to the Office of the City Attorney for further enforcement action;
- the Office of the City Attorney attempts to contact violators as well in an effort to get
compliance instead of filing suit in Superior Court. If we are successful, then the City will issue
a letter that the property is in compliance;
Page 2 of 3
- if we don't get a sufficient response, we file suit and seek an abatement order from the Court
which will order the owner/occupant to remove the violations and, if they fail to do so, authorize
the City to enter the property after 20 days to abate the violation.
The litigation process necessarily has statutory and regulatory timelines built in to protect
the property owners' due process rights. Thus, litigation may take several months or more,
even in relatively "standard" nuisances cases. Once the City receives the warrant of
abatement, it will conduct the abatement, generally with the use of Geiger work crews to
minimize costs. After such an abatement, the City is authorized to get a lien against the
property in the full amount, however only the first $2,000 of that amount is a high priority lien
on par with County and municipal taxes. We generally have to wait until the property transfers
before we get paid the rest of the money we spent on abatement. There are some cases
where the City never gets paid, however, the City was able to assist the neighborhood in
removing a blight that was likely reducing their property values.

EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The City of Spokane Valley is ambitiously exploring opportunities to position itself as a great community to live, work and visit through the development of a comprehensive plan
and multiple segment strategies.
There is certainly much potential for the City of Spokane Valley. Located within the Spokane MSA in a highly valuable manufacturing corridor with robust recreational opportunities,
the community is well positioned for growth in the residential, tourism and economic sectors.
In addition to product development, one of the community leadership's greatest challenges will be their ability to generate buy -in among residents and partner organizations for
investing in the future.
This marketing strategy and plan includes an overview of our research, an analysis of the City of Spokane Valley's current situation, as well as recommendations for positioning the
community for local engagement, tourism and economic development.
This document aims to answer the following questions:
• Who are the target audiences within the focus areas of local engagement, tourism and economic development?
• What are the priorities for investment for each focus area?
• How can the City of Spokane Valley drive awareness to each focus area and what tactics can be used?
Desired outcomes of the engagement:
After conducting both in-person interviews and an online survey, Atlas Advertising reconsidered and reshaped the desired outcomes to focus our marketing efforts and overall
scope of work. Below are the outcomes identified and agreed upon by stakeholders.
1. Resident engagement and business retention - Foster a sense of community pride among residents and companies that compels them to stay and grow with the City of
Spokane Valley.
2. Business recruitment - Capitalize on the business park and diversify the economy.
3. Set the stage for future tourism promotion - Develop new tourism assets to drive long-term competitiveness that enables promotional activities that attract regional drive
market visitors.
THE CHALLENGE
While the City of Spokane Valley has a number of assets that appeal to residents and
businesses alike, the local economy primarily depends on the raw materials manufacturing
industry and retail sales that are both known to fluctuate. Despite some limited regional
efforts, many leaders and residents within the City are focused on assets and efforts within the
municipal boundaries. In addition, this relatively newly formed community has not yet come
together with an identity that accurately reflects the assets and overall personality of the City.
PAGE 3
DESCRIPTION OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Incorporated in 2003, the City of Spokane Valley is located within the Spokane MSA near the eastern border of the state of Washington. It is the 9th largest city in Washington state and has
a population of nearly 100,000 people.
The community has a significant retail base including the Spokane Valley Mall, numerous auto dealerships and many restaurants. Major public facilities include CenterPlace Regional Event
Center, Avista Stadium (home to the Spokane Indians, a minor league baseball team) and the Spokane County Fair and Expo Center.
An industrial park in the region is primarily focused on the manufacturing sector producing mainly raw materials including aluminum, concrete and other building materials, and electronic
components. Other major economic contributors and employers include traditional community employers (healthcare, education and local government), logistics and distribution,
and non-metallic mineral mining. Workers include an almost equal mix of City of Spokane Valley residents, who appreciate the low cost of housing and ample land, as well as regional
commuters from Liberty Lake, Spokane and Idaho border towns.
Outdoor recreation is one of the City of Spokane Valley's major assets with multiple hiking and biking trails, including Centennial Trail's 37 miles of paved path alongside the Spokane River.
The community is near more than 75 lakes and is a gateway to majestic mountains and four ski resorts within an hour's drive.
Community Values:
• Community Identity and Pride - the City of Spokane
Valley promotes an environment that supports
the home and family, and job and education
opportunities.
• Focus on the Future - the City of Spokane Valley is
a visionary place, encouraging citizens and their
government to look to the future beyond the present
generation, and to bring such ideas to public
discussion, enhancing a sense of community identity.
• Open, Collaborative Government - the City of
Spokane Valley values a "user-friendly government, in
which governance practices and general operations
consider how citizens will be served in the most
responsive, effective and courteous manner."

RESEARCH AND DISCOVERY
To inform our strategic marketing recommendations, Atlas Advertising works closely with our
clients to gather background documentation of past and present marketing efforts, along with
conducting conversations and online surveys with key stakeholders and partners. We blend
this mix of quantitative and qualitative details with our experience and best practices in other
communities to present recommendations specifically tailored to the City of Spokane Valley.
PAGE 5
STAKEHOLDER RESEARCH
Stakeholder research was conducted with residents of the City of Spokane Valley and regional leaders both in-person and via digital surveys from June to the end of July, 2016. Insights
and perspectives were provided about the community's assets and also suggested priorities for efforts to attract and engage residents, tourists and businesses to the area.
Attendees and survey respondents included: City Council Members, City Staff Members, Regional Partners (i.e. Greater Spokane Incorporated, the Chamber of Commerce, Visit Spokane),
Business Leaders, Educators and Community Members.
Community Engagement
Participants felt strongly that efforts need to be made
to engage the community and build resident pride in
the City of Spokane Valley. They are interested in further
developing existing festivals and events and adding to the
community calendar with additional events and a farmers'
market. Participants also emphasized the need for clear
communication to residents about the city's efforts to
attract tourists and businesses.
Tourist Attraction
Feedback was focused on creating additional products
to attract visitors to the area. Suggestions included
riverfront development, a sports facility and events
facilities (i.e. youth sports, performing arts, mega sports
for the region). Participants indicated that the measure
of success for tourist attraction efforts would be an
increase in overnight visitors as well as occupancy rates
in the off seasons.
Economic Development
Suggestions centered around business attraction including
articulating more clearly what the City of Spokane Valley
has to offer and forging new partnerships between the
private sector and the city. Participants emphasized that
efforts needed to be on both business retention and
attraction and that it is important to diversify the industry
mix in the community. Overall, they define success as a rise
in the median income of residents in the City of Spokane
Valley and a decrease in the unemployment rate.

CONCURRENT REGIONAL INITIATIVES
The Big Five
Prior to the research and discovery undertaken by
Atlas Advertising, the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber
of Commerce conducted a community engagement
effort to identify initiatives that will "nurture community
vitality and stimulate economic prosperity in the Greater
Spokane Valley region." 274 Spokane Valley stakeholders
participated in the process which generated 1,081
"thoughts and ideas."
The Big Five initiatives identified by the process include:
1. Promoting and protecting the vitality of the outdoors.
(Greater Outdoors)
Through collaboration with business, government
entities, and citizen groups, the Chamber encourages
opportunities to enhance the quality of recreation,
nature and parks, while stimulating economic growth.
2. Promoting the Greater Spokane Valley as an emerging
leader in high-tech manufacturing. (Greater Goods)
With a strong manufacturing base present in the
Greater Spokane Valley, this initiative supports a
sustainable economic future for the manufacturing
industry through advocacy and innovative
collaboration.
3. Integrating business and education to create the
workforce of the future. (Greater Learning)
The vitality of our community resides in the quality
of our workforce. This initiative brings together
industry and education to facilitate innovative learning
opportunities and partnerships, which inspire a vibrant
and educated workforce for the future.
4. Growing medical research from concept to cure.
(Greater Cures)
By focusing on the expertise of medical providers,
local medical schools and available suitable property
in the Greater Spokane Valley, this initiative propels
the advancement of medical research for our region.
5. Building an enterprising identity for the Greater
Spokane Valley region. (Greater Vision)
By recognizing the strengths of the Greater Spokane
Valley region, this initiative defines and promotes
our region for its quality of life, dynamic workforce,
and vibrant research, manufacturing and technology
industries.

2017-2037 Comprehensive Plan
Over the course of 2016, the City of Spokane Valley
undertook an expensive review and update of the
City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition to meeting the
requirements outlined by the Washington State Growth
Management Act, the City's updated plan will shape future
growth and development. The recommendations outlined
in this document coincide with a number of those in the
Comprehensive Plan, updated in 2016.
Tourism Sector Analysis
Community Attributes conducted an analysis of the City of
Spokane Valley's tourism assets and opportunities in 2016.
Their study is intended to be used in conjunction with a
retail strategy to contribute to the City's Comprehensive
Plan, updated in 2016.
The recommendations included in this document are
reflective of the contributions made in the Community
Attributes work while also building upon that report's
contributions.
Retail Attraction Study
Community Attributes completed a thorough review of the
City of Spokane Valley's retail trade area and demographics
as well as recommendations for growing the community's
retail sector.

SWOT ANALYSIS
A SWOT (Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, Threats) analysis was developed to explore how the
City of Spokane Valley can best align its resources within the Spokane regional and national competitive
environment. In addition to the traditional SWOT categories, we have added a Neutral section to call out
qualities of the community that are important to note but are also common among competitors.
The goal of the SWOT exercise is to determine where the City of Spokane Valley can capitalize on its assets
and advantages to build local pride and engagement, attract tourists and position itself as an attractive
business destination. The analysis was based on interviews with City Council and staff members, local
business leaders, educators, community members and regional stakeholders such as Greater Spokane
Incorporated, the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce and Visit Spokane.

COMMUNITY
ENGAGEMENT
Recreation assets such as the Spokane River, mountain
bike parks in Camp Sekani, hiking trails in Dishman Hills,
the Appleway and Centennial Trails, proximity to 75 lakes
and rivers and access to Mt. Spokane and Lake Coeur
D'Alene.
Conservative, family-oriented, laid back community
culture with an affordable cost of living (no income tax).
Quality housing product averaging less than $200 per
square foot.
Located within a top 100 MSA with freeway proximity,
a 20 -minute average commute and access to
quality health care and education.
Time of change in local leadership, which creates
an opportunity to articulate unified direction and be
transparent with goals and results.
Community focus on neighborhood groups can
be capitalized to generate community identity and
instill pride.
Leverage the central location of the city and
regional assets.
Lack of city identity with minimal citizen involvement
in community development efforts.
No identified city center for gatherings or
concentrated activity.
Community skepticism about new direction and
investments and competing viewpoints could
threaten efforts and encourage divisiveness.
Traffic interruptions at seven at -grade crossings,
negative air quality impacts and the risks of fires
and derailments are all connected to Vancouver
Energy's proposal that increases the number of
trains traveling through the City of Spokane Valley
by nearly 1,500 trips each year.
ATLAS ADVERTISING

TOURIST
ATTRACTION
A number of hotels, restaurants and retail businesses
that could extend and enhance the visitor experience.
Key examples include Latah Creek Winery and the
Spokane Valley Mall.
Limited destination product to attract visitors
for purposes outside of outdoor recreation
and shopping.
No identified city center for gatherings or concentrated
activity. This presents a barrierto usage as amenities are
spread out.
Weak regional partner collaboration (i.e. Visit Spokane).
Lack of travel information on booking sites (i.e. Travelocity) for
hotels, restaurants and attractions.
NEUTRAL
Lack of city identity with distinguishing characteristics that
attract visitors and generate preference over other regional
options.
Recreation assets such as the Spokane River, mountain bike
parks in Camp Sekani Park, hiking trails in Dishman Hills, the
Appleway and Centennial Trails, proximity to 75 lakes and
rivers and access to Mt. Spokane and Lake Coeur D'Alene.
Positioning the City of Spokane Valley as a day
trip within the regional drive market. In particular,
promoting the city's family -friendly hotels and
shopping amenities.
Raising the profile of the City of Spokane Valley and its
amenities to make the community a location of choice
within the region.
Development of tourism products (i.e. retail amenities
along the river and trails, festivals and events) to
increase awareness of and traffic to the community.

Community skepticism about new direction and
investments and competing viewpoints could threaten
efforts and encourage divisiveness.

ECONOMIC
DEVELOPMENT
With 80 buildings ranging from 1,200 to 270,000
square feet, the Business & Industrial Park is a
significant asset for business attraction. With
available space and built -to -suit options, the park
connects companies via two rail lines and Interstate 90.
The City has direct access to transportation
infrastructure including east -west
connections via Interstate 90, both
BNSF and Union Pacific rail, 9
airports and two major ports all
within a 300 -mile radius.
Recent growth has been focused within service industries
as opposed to economic driver companies.
Lack of industrial sites for business location that could
employ the existing training of the local workforce.
NEUTRAL
Lack of city identity to attract businesses and generate
preference over other regional options.
Commitment to business success with streamlined permitting
and regulations processes and a business -oriented economic
development team.
500 acres of vacant industrial land with
efforts underway to add utility access.
Population growth means the city will be at
the center of the region within a generation.
New job creation in health services, manufacturing,
transportation, warehousing, professional and education
industries provides an opportunity for related industries and
supply chain companies.
Strengthened economic development focus and
prioritization can improve responsiveness to industries
and demonstrate commitment to business' success
in the City of Spokane Valley.
Community skepticism about new
direction and investments and
competing viewpoints could threaten
efforts and encourage divisiveness.
Competition from Idaho communities and their aggressive
incentives could pull investment away from the region.
The area's aging population means a vacuum within the workforce
which could raise doubts about the ability to provide a trained
workforce.

TRAFFIC
Barker South Ramp Terminal 60% Review
CIP and Traffic staff reviewed the 60% design submittal for the 1-90 and Barker interchange plans for
the south ramp terminals for the eastbound on and off ramps. The plans are being developed in-house
by the WSDOT Engineering Design Team. The plans were fairly complete at the 60% level but some of
the recommendations by the City's traffic consultant Fehr and Peers is not be incorporated in the
design because of cost and possible right-of-way constraints. Future discussion will no doubt continue
on this subject.
Target Zero
Since its inception in 2012, the City of Spokane Valley has been a participant in WSDOT's Target Zero
program. Target Zero is a data -driven strategic plan used to identify priorities and solutions, help create
common goals, and develop a language so we can work together across disciplines. Specifically, our
partners use it to:
• Set statewide priorities for all traffic safety partners over the next three to four years.
• Provide a resource of various strategies to address each emphasis area and factor.
• Help guide federal and state project funding toward the highest priorities and most effective
strategies.
• Monitor outcomes at a statewide level for each priority area.
Traffic staff attended the November meeting which focused on law enforcement's strategy of
heightened patrols during the holiday season for impaired driving. Several grants were obtained this
year that provide for additional officers and overtime. The goal of the team is prevent all crashes this
holiday season.
Traffic Model Update
The Traffic Model update has been completed with up to date traffic counts. Traffic is continuing to
work with the consultant through December to evaluate traffic signal coordination on many of the
City's principal arterials. Other than fine tuning and adjustments, the traffic signal coordination has not
been evaluated with updated traffic counts in over five year. This next year, the Traffic section plans to
implement the updated signal timings through its major corridors.
PLANNING AND GRANTS
Community Development Block Grants (CDBG)
CDBG issued a request for proposals for the 2019 program year. On October 23, 2018, City Council
directed the City Manager to submit project applications for three sidewalk improvement projects: Ella
Road — Alki to Broadway, Conklin Road — Appleway Trail to Riceland Lane, and Farr Road — 6th Avenue
to 8th Avenue. Ella Road was listed as the highest priority project. Applications were submitted prior
to the November 9, 2018 deadline and on January 10, 2019, Spokane County will have a meeting where
they will make their allocation recommendations.
Grant Applications for the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project
Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) Program
The program is for highway -rail grade crossing improvement projects and the City is eligible for funding
for the preliminary engineering (PE) phase of the project. In June and July, 2018, the City submitted
funding applications to the Federal Rail Administration's (FRA) CRISI Program for fiscal years (FY) 17
5
and 18, respectively. The City submitted a total PE phase request of $1,246,500 with a City -match of
$1,246,500 (50% match), for a total PE phase cost of $2,493,000. Awards were anticipated to be
announced in December 2018 for FY 17 and spring 2019 for FY 18, however, due to the federal
government partial shutdown, the award announcement for both programs has been delayed.
Infrastructure for Rebuilding America (INFRA) Discretionary Grant
In December, USDOT announced a funding program which offers financial assistance to highway and
freight projects of national or regional significance. Staff will bring forward an administrative report to
City Council on January 29, 2019, where recommendations will be provided. Applications are due
March 4, 2019.
WSDOT City Safety Program (CSP) federally funded by Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP)
On March 13 2018, City Council authorized the City Manager to submit applications to the CSP.
Applications were due in April 2018, and official awards were announced in December. The City
received funds for the following projects:

2019-2024 Six Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP)
In December, staff prepared an amendment to the six-year TIP for 2019 — 2024. This amendment
accounts for 2018 projects carrying over into 2019, updated project 2019 costs, and new projects
recently awarded grant funds from TIB, from the WSDOT City Safety Program, and from SRTC's 2018
Call for Projects. An administrative report for this amendment will be presented to City Council on
January 15, 2019, followed by a public hearing and motion consideration on January 29. This will
update the 2019 — 2024 TIP that was adopted in June of 2018. This document's significance derives
from state law requiring the local TIP to include all local road projects using REET funds, as well as
regionally significant and federally funded transportation projects managed by the jurisdication.
Federally funded and regionally significant projects for 2019 have been included in this document, and
adopted into the four-year Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP). The STIP is the
statewide listing of federally funded or regionally significant projects for the upcoming four-year
period, and is based upon the local six-year TIP.
Comprehensive Plan Amendments, Chapters 2 and 5 Transportation Elements
Staff prepared drafts of amendments to the Transportation sections of the Comprehensive Plan, in
preparation for SEPA environmental checklists and staff reports to the Planning Commission due in
January and February. Proposed amendments to Chapter 2 include policy and strategy changes to
reflect the Planned Action Ordinance projects in and around the Centennial Business Park. Updates
also included changes to strategic actions in Chapter 2 supporting consideration of a Complete Streets
ordinances. Other updates included additional language describing pedestrian and bicycle network
recommendations in Chapter 5 and changes to recommended pedestrian and bicycle networks in
Figures 26 and 27 of Chapter 5. Changes are based on analysis of short trip patterns, high-risk safety
locations, employment and residential densities, traffic congestion hot spots, safe routes to school, and
low -moderate income areas.
6
Proposed updates also add an appendix identifying a transportation improvement program for a
twenty-year horizon. This list of projects and anticipated timeframes will inform annual development
of the updated six-year TIP. This list will be updated regularly to reflect city goals and strategic planning.
The final proposed update will add a new appendix providing 11" x 17" printable copies of all maps
within the Comprehensive Plan.
Planning Studies
In December, the consultant team completed final traffic pattern analysis, cost estimating, and fair
share cost analysis to inform improvements throughout the Barker Corridor from Mission Avenue to
8th Avenue. Recommended improvements address interim improvements and eventual replacement
of the Barker Interchange at 1-90, as well as intersection improvements and updated road cross-
sections throughout the corridor. The study analyzed both near-term improvements through 2028 and
long-term improvements through 2040. A critical piece of the study, the fair share cost analysis breaks
down the percentage of future trips expected to be generated individually by Spokane Valley, Liberty
Lake, and Spokane County, and assigns a percentage of the estimated improvement costs to each
jurisdiction. Next steps include city review of proposed costs and cost assignments, followed by review
in partnership with WSDOT, Spokane County, and Liberty Lake.
Pavement Management Update
Contract for the Evaluation of Pavement Management Program
Staff has entered into an agreement for professional services with Nichols Consulting Engineers (NCE)
to provide a full evaluation of the existing pavement management program and provide
recommendations that will most efficiently serve the City. The scope of work is scheduled to occur
between August 2018 and January 2019.
2019 Pavement Preservation Projects
Preservation projects are funded by Fund 311 and generally do not receive outside funding support.
Project selection considers available funding, pavement condition, street classification, eligibility and
availability of grant funding, and long term plans such as the comprehensive plan and six-year
transportation improvement plan. The preliminary project list that will be funded by Fund 311 is shown
below. Some projects are funded by awarded grants and the City will provide matching funds via Fund
311; whereas other projects will be completely funded by Fund 311.

Re: Finance Department Activity Report — December 2018
Following is information pertaining to Finance Department activities through the end of December
2018 and included herein is an updated 2018 Budget to Actual Comparison of Revenues and
Expenditures through the end December.
2018 Year-end Process
Although December has come and gone we anticipate we will receive a significant number of
invoices in January and February from vendors who delivered goods and services during the latter
part of 2018. Consequently, the expenditure figures reported herein will likely change materially
in subsequent updates. By the same token, the revenues figures reported at this point will also
change materially as we await State distributions of shared revenues in January and February
that date back to 2018. With that said, we are in the preliminary phases of closing the 2018 books
and hope to have this process complete by the end of March. Following the closing of the books,
we will begin the process of preparing our annual financial report which will be finished by the end
of May. We hope to have the State Auditor's Office on site by early June to begin the audit of
2018.
Lodging Tax
The schedule leading
• August 31
• October 5
• October 18
• November 6
• December 11
to awarding funds is as follows:
Letters mailed to agencies that have historically received funding, media
release to City website and notice to newspapers
Grant applications due at City Hall
Grant applicant presentations to lodging tax advisory committee.
Admin report to Council on results of lodging tax advisory committee
meeting
City Council motion consideration: Award lodging tax for 2019
Fee Resolution
As a part of preparing the annual budget, City Departments are asked to review the Master Fee
Schedule that is currently in place and determine whether changes in fees charged and/or
language used in the governing resolution should be altered. This leads to an annual update to
the fee resolution that sets fees for the following year. The calendar leading to the adoption of
the resolution setting 2019 fees is as follows:
• November 20 Admin report on proposed changes to the fee resolution.
• December 11 Council adoption of the fee resolution

Budget to Actual Comparison Report
A report reflecting 2018 Budget to Actual Revenues and Expenditures for those funds for which
a 2018 Budget was adopted is located on pages 5 through 17. Because we attempt to provide
this information in a timely manner, this report is prepared from records that are not formally
closed by the Finance Department at month end or reconciled to bank records. As indicated earlier
in this report, we anticipate updates to revenues and expenditures in all funds prior to the time
the 2018 books are finally closed.
We've included the following information in the report:
• Revenues by source for all funds, and expenditures by department in the General Fund and
by type in all other funds.
• A breakdown between recurring and nonrecurring revenues and expenditures in the General
Fund, Street O&M Fund and Stormwater Fund.
• The change in fund balance including beginning and ending figures. The beginning fund
balance figures are those that are reflected in our 2017 Annual Financial Report.
• Columns of information include:
o The 2018 Budget as adopted
o December 2018 activity
o Cumulative 2018 activity through December 2018
o Budget remaining in terms of dollars
o The percent of budgeted revenue collected or budgeted expenditures disbursed
A few points related to the General Fund #001 (page 5):
Recurring revenues collections are currently at 101.46% of the amount budgeted with 100.00%
of the year elapsed.
• Property taxes are paid to Spokane County in two installments each year on April 30 and
October 31 and are then remitted to the City primarily in May and November with lesser
amounts typically remitted in June and December. Property taxes received thus far in 2018
are $11,672,177 or 98.95% of the amount budgeted. In January we will receive one final
payment related to 2018 collections.
• Sales tax collections represent only eleven months of collections thus far because taxes
collected in December are not remitted to the City by the State until the latter part of January.
Collections are currently at $20,724,444 or 99.25% of the amount budgeted.
• Gambling taxes are at $282,373 or 74.11% of the amount budgeted. Gambling taxes are paid
quarterly with fourth quarter payments due by January 31St
• Franchise Fee and Business Registration revenues are typically received in the month
following a calendar year quarter. So far in 2018 we have received $928,558 or 76.74% of the
amount budgeted. Fourth quarter franchise fees will be received in January, and I anticipate
actual revenues will exceed the budget estimate at that point.
• State shared revenues are composed of State of Washington distributions that include items
such as liquor board profits, liquor excise tax, streamlined sales tax mitigation and criminal
justice monies. Most of these revenues are paid by the State in the month following a
calendar quarter. Through December we've received remittances totaling $2,209,717 or
104.75% of the amount budgeted. We will receive an additional payment related to the
fourth quarter of 2018 in January.
• Fines and forfeitures revenues are composed of monthly remittances from Spokane County
with payments made in the month following the actual assessment of a fine and false alarm
fees. Through December we've received remittances through the month of November with
receipts of $914,894 or 69.32% of the amount budgeted.
P:IFinancelFinance Activity Reports\Council Monthly Reports1201812018 12 31 - 2018 12 PRELIMINARY No 1.docx
Page 2
• Community and Public Works service revenues are largely composed of building permit and
plan review fees as well as right of way permits. Revenues are currently at $2,695,086 or
160.03% of the amount budgeted.
• Recreation program revenues are composed of revenues generated by the variety of parks
and recreation programs including classes, swimming pools (in -season), and CenterPlace.
Currently, revenues total $696,966 or 110.05% of the amount budgeted.
Recurring expenditures are currently at $38,066,821 or 93.07% of the amount budgeted with
100.00% of the year elapsed. Once all invoices related to 2018 activity are received and
booked, we anticipate a higher percentage of the budget will be consumed.
Investments (page 18)
Investments at December 31 total $63,784,024 and are composed of $58,702,668 in the
Washington State Local Government Investment Pool and $5,081,356 in bank CDs.
Total Sales Tax Receipts (page 19)
Total sales tax receipts reflect State remittances through December and total $23,452,242
including general, criminal justice, and public safety taxes. This figure is $1,701,790 or 7.82%
greater than the same eleven -month period in 2017.
Economic Indicators (pages 20 — 22)
The following economic indicators provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax
revenue that provide a good gauge of the health and direction of the overall economy.
1. Sales taxes (page 20) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending
on the purchase of goods.
2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 21) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area
by tourists or business travelers.
3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 22) provide us with a sense of real estate sales.
Page 20 provides a 10 -year history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or
criminal justice) with monthly detail beginning January 2009.
• Compared with calendar year 2017, 2018 collections have increased by $1,492,300 or 7.76%.
• Tax receipts reached an all-time high in 2017 at $21,089,134, besting the previous record
year of 2016 when $19,887,049 was collected. Sales tax receipts in 2017 exceeded $20
million for the first time since the City's incorporation.
Page 21 provides a 10 -year history of hotel/motel tax receipts with monthly detail beginning
January 2009.
• Compared with calendar year 2017, 2018 collections have increased by $27,813 or 4.81%.
• Collections reached an all-time high in 2017 of $615,980, exceeding the previous high set in
2016 of $596,374.
Page 22 provides a 10 -year history of real estate excise tax receipts with monthly detail beginning
January 2009
• Compared with calendar year 2017, 2018 collections have increased by $782,942 or 28.69%.
The increase is primarily due to unusually high amounts being collected for May and October
2018.
• Collections reached an all-time high in 2017 of $3,007,573, exceeding the previous high set
in 2007 of $2,589,681.

Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstanding (page 23)
This page provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General
Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the
City currently has outstanding.
• The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value
for property taxes which for 2018 is $8,634,114,798. Following the December 1, 2018 debt
service payments, the City has $12,270,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which
represents 9.47% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.89% of our total debt capacity for all
types of bonds. Of this amount:
o $4,645,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds
are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public
Facilities District.
o $730,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace.
The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City.
o $6,895,000 remains on bonds issued for construction of the new City Hall. The bonds are
to be repaid with General Fund revenues.
Street Fund Revenue Sources (pages 24 and 25)
The last two charts reflect a history for the two primary sources of revenue in Street Fund #101.
These include:
• Page 24 provides a 10 -year history of Motor Vehicle Fuel Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2009.
o Compared with calendar year 2017, 2018 collections have increased by $36,684 or
1.94%.
o Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at just approximately $2.1 million, and subsequently
decreased to a range of approximately $1,857,000 to $2,000,000 in the years 2011
through 2017.
• Page 25 provides a 10 -year history of Telephone Utility Tax collections with monthly detail
beginning January 2009.
o Compared with 2017, 2018 collections have decreased by $113,536 or 6.56%. Unlike tax
revenues collected by the State and remitted monthly, these taxes are paid to the City
directly by the service provider. Consequently there is not a "clean cutoff' in terms of when
a vendor pays the tax.
o Tax receipts peaked in 2009 at $3,054,473 and have decreased each year since due to
what we suspect is the reduction in land lines by individual households.
o The 2018 Budget was adopted with a revenue estimate of $1,900,000. We will watch
actual receipts closely as the year progresses. It appears that 2018 total revenues will
come in below budgeted amounts.
o The City has hired a consultant to perform an audit of providers who pay the telephone
utility tax. The audit will assess whether providers are accurately remitting all taxes owed
to the City, and the consultant will be paid on a contingent basis out of revenues recovered
from the telephone providers. Three audits have been completed, and the City has
received payments totaling $398,865 which is comprised of recovered revenue plus
interest and penalty fees. Per the contract with the consultant, the City paid $99,716 or
25% of the amount recovered.

Sales tax receipts reported here reflect remittances for general sales tax, criminal justice
sales tax and public safety 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 State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to
the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.8% tax rate to
the agencies is as follows:
- State of Washington 6.50%
- City of Spokane Valley 0.85%
- Spokane County 0.15%
- Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% *
- Criminal Justice 0.10%
- Public Safety 0.10% * 2.30% local tax
- Juvenile Jail 0.10% *
- Mental Health 0.10% *
- Law Enforcement Communications 0.10% *
- Spokane Transit Authority 0.70% *
8.80%
Indicates voter approved sales taxes
In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives, we also receive a portion of
the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is
computed as follows:
Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total collected, the
State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder
allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County.
Public Safety: The tax is assessed county -wide and of the total 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.

SCOPE members assist the Spokane Valley Police Department each month by placing speed radar
boards throughout Spokane Valley in conjunction with the Traffic Unit, in an effort to reduce speed
in locations that have been identified by law enforcement or brought to their attention by the
community as having excessive speeding vehicles. There was no activity for the month of December.
Totals for 2018 reflect the speed radar board was placed at 144 locations capturing 3,720 hours of
coverage.
S.C.O.P.E. Incident Response Team (SIRT) volunteers contributed 79 on -scene hours (including
travel time) in December, responding to crime scenes, motor vehicle accidents and providing traffic
control; 49 hours were for incidents in Spokane Valley. There were no special events in December.
Total volunteer hours contributed by SIRT, including training, stand-by, response and special events
is 1,207; total for 2018 is 14,635. (Starting January 2018, a change was made in how actual hours of
'stand-by' time is calculated. Due to the shortage of staff necessary to cover up to 62 shifts of 24 hours
per day per month, a simple formula as used in the past, no longer reflects the actual time spent on
stand-by. We now count each month the actual time members sign up for duty minus the time actually
spent on -scene.)

OPERATIONS:
Armed Convicted Felon Found Sleeping in Stolen Vehicle; Second Suspect also Arrested:
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a located stolen vehicle. The two suspects found sleeping
inside were arrested and through the subsequent investigation, were linked to a second stolen
vehicle and a hit and run collision. Additionally, two firearms and methamphetamine were also
recovered. In early December, just after 9:30 a.m., Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the parking
lot of the Holiday Gas Station, located at 2302 N. Argonne, for a report of a stolen vehicle. The caller
stated they located a family member's GMC pick-up that was stolen the day prior from the 8300 block
of Columbia Drive. Deputies contacted and safely detained the 38 -year-old male driver and a 31 -year-
old female passenger. A check of the GMC's vehicle identification number (VIN) confirmed it was
the reported stolen vehicle and the male suspect was arrested. During a search of the male after his
arrest, Deputy Bulpin located a loaded .38 revolver and a white crystalline substance, which was later
field tested and showed a presumptive positive result for methamphetamine. The revolver was found
to have had the serial number illegally removed and a criminal history check showed the male suspect
was a convicted felon and prohibited from possessing firearms. The owner of the GMC arrived at the
scene and gave deputies permission to search the vehicle. The search revealed multiple items, which
did not belong to the victim, including a second firearm found in the back seat of the truck. As the
investigation continued, deputies learned witnesses of the GMC theft observed the female suspect
driving a red Toyota Echo in the neighborhood and thought she was possibly involved. They later
observed a post on Spokane News' webpage stating the Toyota was involved in a crash with a power
pole near Crestwood Ln. and Campbell Rd. At the time of the collision, the driver fled the scene. The
registered owner of the Toyota was contacted and advised the vehicle had been stolen. Deputies
learned the suspects were in the Toyota the night the GMC was stolen. The female suspect was driving
the Toyota and the male suspect stole the GMC. Later that night, the female suspect crashed the
Toyota and fled the scene. She was picked up by the male suspect and they drove around, later parking
in the Holiday Gas station parking lot and falling asleep. Both suspects were transported and booked
into the Spokane County Jail. The male suspect was charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle,
Possession of a Stolen Vehicle, two counts of Unlawful Possession of a Firearm 1st Degree, Possession
of a Controlled Substance -Methamphetamine and Possession of an Alternated Firearm. The female
suspect was charged with Theft of a Motor Vehicle, Possession of a Stolen Vehicle and Hit -and -Run,
Unattended.
Spokane Valley Deputies Investigating Social Media Threat: Spokane Valley Deputies, East
Valley High School Resource Deputy McQuitty and East Valley School District Officials worked
together to investigate a Snapchat threat. Additional deputies patrolled at the high school and
surrounding area as an added precaution. In early December, at approximately 7:30 p.m., Spokane
Valley Deputies began investigating the report of an internet threat toward East Valley High School,
posted on Snapchat. Deputies notified the East Valley High School Resource Deputy and East Valley
School District Officials. Throughout the evening, deputies worked to identify the person responsible
for this threat and to determine the validity of the Snapchat account. After the East Valley High School
threats posted through Snapchat, additional posts were reported referencing West Valley High School
and Mead High School, The school districts were made aware of this information and diligently
worked with our School Resource Deputies to ensure the safety of students and staff. At the time, the
accounts used appear to be fake/fraudulent, but detectives continued working to identify the person(s)
who seem to have a goal of spreading fear and concern in our community. Investigators determined
Page 4
the East Valley High School and West Valley High School threats were connected and several
juveniles were involved. The suspect in the Mead High School threats was also identified and
detectives believe this incident is not connected to the other threats. Due to this combined effort of
detectives, school officials, school resource and Patrol deputies, these suspects were identified and
although their actions caused an enormous amount of fear to spread throughout our community, there
was no imminent danger to students and staff related to these criminal threats. Within the week, Major
Crimes Detectives arrested a 16 -year-old female for her role instigating the SnapChat threats toward.
East Valley High School. She was booked into the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Facility for
Harassment and Threats to Bomb or Injure Property, both felonies. Investigators learned the suspect
made a fraudulent SnapChat account and posted the threat because she "didn't want to go to
school." She then took a screenshot of the message, showing the fraudulent account as the sender,
and began sending it out to her friends. Some continued to disseminate this threat without reporting
it to law enforcement, school officials or parents, causing fear to spread rapidly. Thankfully some of
the people who received the threat did report it immediately, initiating an investigation and additional
safety precautions to be put into place the next day. The investigation into these threats, East Valley
and West Valley, continued as investigators worked to identify anyone else involved and hold them
accountable. Spokane Valley Police, Spokane County Sheriff's Office and School District Officials
take the safety of students and staff very seriously and threats like this will not be tolerated. The large
amount of fear spread through our community and our schools, in addition to the expansive amount
or resources needed to ensure students and staff were safe while the threat was investigated, merely
because the suspect didn't want to go to school, is unbelievable. We again ask parents to have a
conversation with their school-age children about social media, threats and the power of their words
and actions. Please explain the need to report threats immediately instead of sharing/forwarding
them. This only spreads fear while hindering our ability to quickly investigate these threats and keep
students and staff safe.
Semi Truck Crash Causes Sullivan Road Closure Between Indiana and Marietta Due to Fuel
Spill: Spokane Valley Deputies and Spokane Valley Fire personnel responded to the scene of a
crash involving two semi trucks. A tanker trailer was leaking fuel, causing the complete closure
of Sullivan Road between Indiana and. Marietta. The closure was expected to last several hours,
and possibly a major portion of the day, as crews worked to transfer the fuel from the damaged
tank to another truck and clean up the fuel spill. In early December, at approximately 7:00 a.m.,
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a crash involving two commercial semi trucks on
Sullivan Road. Both semi trucks were traveling south on Sullivan, just north of Sullivan Park. One
truck was unable to stop and rear-ended the second tanker truck, which had stopped for traffic. The
collision caused one of the tanker truck's trailers to leak fuel (estimated 1,000-1,500 gallons of
fuel). No one was injured during the collision. The spill was eventually cleaned up, the collision
investigated, and the damaged vehicles removed.
Juveniles Take Car to get Coffee, Crash into Coffee Stand & Flee: Deputies, investigating a hit
and run collision, arrested a 14 -year-old male juvenile after learning he took the involved vehicle
without permission. The registered owner of the vehicle's juvenile daughter and a third friend
were also in the vehicle at the time of the crash. In mid-December, at approximately 12:40 p.m.,
Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report of a vehicle which had crashed into the Fueled Coffee
Company building, located at 12303 E. Grace Ave. in Spokane Valley. The vehicle, a white Ford
Explorer, fled the scene without stopping. The business owner went outside and found fresh damage
Page 5
to the side of the building. She also found broken headlight/turn signal plastic pieces. She looked at
surveillance video and observed a white Explorer hit the side of the building near the order window.
A witness to the incident said he followed the Explorer, after it quickly left the area, to an apartment
complex on N. Cherry St. where it parked. He observed two young females fleeing from the vehicle
and provided the vehicle's license plate number to the deputies. Deputy Tim Jones inspected the
damage to the building and noted the vehicle hit hard enough to push the framing for the wall
inward. A check of the vehicle's license plate showed the registered owner's address as an apartment
in the complex where it was parked. Deputy Jones went to the apartment complex and located the
Explorer, which had what appeared to be fresh frontend damage consistent with the damage observed
to the building. He contacted the registered owner, an adult female, at her apartment and advised her
of the hit and run collision involving her vehicle. She yelled for her daughter and her friend (both 14
years old) to come to the front door. The owner of the vehicle was very upset and said she never gave
anyone permission to drive her car. During the investigation, Deputy Jones learned the two girls and
a juvenile 14 -year-old male friend planned to walk from the apartment to the coffee stand. When the
girls walked down to the parking lot, they observed the juvenile male in the driver's seat of the
Explorer. He told them to get in and they did. He drove to Fueled Coffee, where he hit the side of the
building as he drove up to the drive thru window. They got scared and sped away, parking the vehicle
back at the apartments. The victim/owner of the vehicle confirmed she did not give the juvenile male
permission to take her vehicle and she wished to pursue charges. The juvenile male was transported
and booked into the Spokane County Juvenile Detention Facility for Taking a Motor Vehicle without
Permission and Hit and Run Property Damage.
Major Crime Detectives Investigating Stabbing Near Costco: Spokane Valley Major Crimes
Detectives were investigating a stabbing in the 5200 block of E. Sprague. Initial information
provided to deputies arriving at the scene was that the suspect and victim knew each other, and
this is not a random incident. The victim was transported to the hospital with possible life-
threatening injuries while deputies continued their search for the suspect. In mid-December, just
prior to 5:00 p.m., Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a reported stabbing in the 5200 block of E.
Sprague. The caller stated a male had been stabbed and the suspect had fled the scene, but the caller
would not provide additional information. Preliminary information indicated the stabbing was a result
of an altercation between two males believed to be transient. The suspect fled the scene on foot after
the stabbing. The victim was transported to the hospital for possible life-threatening injuries. A
perimeter was established, and a K9 Unit searched for the suspect, but he was not located. Major
Crimes Detectives were called to the scene to continue the investigation. Deputies later located the
male suspect and his vehicle near Broadway and Eastern. The male was detained and interviewed by
detectives at the Public Safety Building. He was later booked into the Spokane County Jail on charges
of 151 Degree Assault.
Major Crime Detectives Investigating Shooting and Stabbing: Spokane Valley Major Crimes
Detectives were investigating a shooting and stabbing, which occurred at a residence Iocated in
the 10000 block of East Broadway. Initial information provided to deputies arriving at the scene
was that the suspect attacked his mother, armed with a high-power pellet rifle. The suspect's
father stabbed him during the altercation and the father was shot in the neck by the suspect. The
suspect, who was taken into custody, and both victims were transported to hospitals for
treatment. In mid-December, just after to 4:00 a.m., Spokane Valley Deputies responded to a reported
shooting and stabbing at a residence located in the 10000 block of E. Broadway. The caller, later
Page 6
identified as the 27 -year-old male suspect, stated he was outside the residence armed with a pellet rifle
and his father had stabbed him. Arriving deputies detained the male suspect and located his mother
(injured including gunshot wound to the leg) and father (injured including a gunshot wound to the
neck) inside the residence. Major Crimes Detectives were called to the scene to continue the
investigation. The two victims were transported to hospitals for what appeared to be non -life-
threatening injuries. The suspect was also transported to a hospital for a stab wound, which did not
appear to be life-threatening. Initial information received was the suspect, who has a history of mental
health problems, attacked his mother and was armed with a high-power pellet rifle. The suspect's
father, protecting his wife, stabbed the suspect who then shot his father in the neck before fleeing from
the residence still armed with the rifle. After being medically cleared from the hospital, the suspect
was transported and booked into the Spokane County Jail for two counts of Assault 3rd Degree (DV)
and one count of Interfering with the Reporting of Domestic Violence.
Identification of Robbery Suspect Sought: Spokane Valley Major Crimes Detectives asked for
the public's help identifying the male whose photo was obtained from store security
cameras. The male was suspected of robbing the Spokane Valley Fred Meyer Store the week
prior. In late December, at approximately 3:25 p.m., Spokane Valley Deputies responded to the report
of a robbery at Fred Meyer, located at 15609 E. Sprague. Store personnel stated the male approached
the Customer Service Counter. As his request was being worked on, he called the employee back over
and told her to give him all the money in the cash register. The extremely frightened employee did
what she was told and the suspect fled the store. A weapon was not observed at the time of the incident.
The suspect was believed to have entered the passenger side of a dark -colored, extended -cab pickup
truck, which drove south through the parking lot out of camera view. The pickup had a tool box
mounted just behind the cab, which spanned the width of the bed of the truck. Within hours of this
information being shared on social media sites and by local news outlets, Major Crimes Detectives
had received several "tips" regarding the possible identity of the suspect; the driver of the vehicle in
which the suspect was observed leaving the scene voluntarily contacted investigators. Detectives
determined the driver, who remained cooperative, was unaware of the robbery and had merely
provided a ride to the store at the suspect's request. The 27 -year-old male suspect was located in
another jurisdiction due to an urn•elated incident. Major Crimes Detective Mike Drapeau requested a
warrant charging the suspect male with Robbery 2'd Degree and it is anticipated the suspect will be
returned to Spokane County when appropriate to face this charge. We remain extremely grateful for
the assistance of our community and media outlets. The tips generated by the sharing of information
like this continues to allow our investigators to quickly identify suspects and gain needed information
to hold them accountable.

Customer Service Survey Quarterly Report
Fourth Quarter
In an effort to better serve our citizens and customers, the City has instituted a customer service survey
for City Hall. Surveys were made available to those who have visited City Hall as well as those who have
applied for a permit in person or online.
Methods utilized for sending out surveys:
1. Electronic surveys sent to email addresses collected from City Hall sign -in sheets and permit
applications.
2. Paper surveys mailed to permit applicants.
3. Paper surveys handed out at City Hall front counter.
Please note:
1. The number of permits issued does not directly relate to the number of surveys sent out. This is
because a number of contractors and service companies pull multiple permits on a regular basis,
and for those contractors it was determined to only send one survey per contractor or company.
However, quarterly, the contractors will be sent a survey to continue to assess their experience
over time.
2. Spokane Valley Fire Department issues the SVFD sprinkler system permits so the contractors
pulling these permits were not sent surveys. In addition, ROW (right-of-way) permits were not
included since they are primarily pulled by utility companies.
3. Mailed paper surveys were sent with a self-addressed, stamped envelope for return.

multiple reasons for their visit.

responses received does not
correspond with the numbers in

Customer Comments
Staff Response
1
As a pole builder we need to get back to same
day permits somehow, please.
Vacant Permit Center positions have been
filled with qualified review staff and,
although OTC reviews may not be available
during times of heavy permit traffic, pole
building permit review timelines are limited
to a maximum of 5 business days with the
majority of said permits being prepared for
Page 3 of 6
Page 4 of 6
issuance in 3 business days. Staff has also
been directed to work towards e-plan
submittal options to further streamline the
permit process for the applicant and thus
require fewer 'trips' to City Hall as part of the
permit application/issuance process.
2
All good so far.
3
Our experience was great.
4
Make the engineers accountable for their
commitments. I had to wait months and go
through three engineers before one did the job
he said he would.
Based on permit records, appears that
permit review was completed and permit
was ready to issue 3 business days from date
of application. The structural analysis
(prepared by a private engineering firm) is
dated 10/1 and no corrections were deemed
necessary by the CSV plan review staff.
5
I was very surprised at how helpful and timely
the service was. That was great.
6
Allow inspectors to have and use common sense.
Sometimes there is a grey area. Not everything is
black and white in remodeling.
Spoke with contractor, who stated that as
part of a bathroom remodel, the inspector
came out to inspect the fan duct and issued
a correction notice for a flex duct which was
3' in excess of the maximum length. A
different inspector performed the
reinspection and noted that there may have
been other options to reduce the length of
the duct.
I provided him with my direct contact
information for any future concerns and let
him know that I would advise the inspection
staff to discuss minor deviations from the
Code provisions amongst the inspection
group and bring a proposed solution to
supervisory staff when faced with a
unique/atypical project such as a residential
remodel. I also noted to the contractor that
ladders are generally required to be made
available so that the inspection staff can
access the work area for inspection.

fine.
23
I would have liked to had the opportunity to
speak to someone in the road department
myself, but I wasn't given the option period.
When the reception desk called them and told
them what I was there about, they just said to tell
me that they had received numerous complaints
about that and it was going to be taken care of
soon, which did not happen. Now that we are into
the winter season, I'm pretty sure it's not going to
happen at least until spring or summer.
24
Continue the kind service.
25
Keep up the great service.
26
Maybe once resolved additional information
should be shared with inspection staff. The
inspector I had did not know of the resolutions to
the setback issue that were agreed upon. I
walked him through it and we were able to

Email or mail the permit review comments to
Steve Goodmansen or me, Sheila. The letter was
emailed to someone else in our office.

addressing comment letters and similar
correspondence.
