Public hearing #3 on 2020 Budget
Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
This evening's meeting represents the third public hearing on the 2020 Budget and the purpose
of the hearing is to consider input from the public on the final 2020 budget.
2020 Budget Overview:
• The 2020 Budget currently includes appropriations of $89,998,731 including $28,594,710 in
capital expenditures, comprised in -part of:
o $8,315,195 in Fund #303 Street Capital Projects.
o $1,510,000 in Fund #309 Park Capital Projects.
o $4,217,523 in Fund #311 Pavement Preservation including $982,023 financed by the
General Fund.
o $13,037,792 in Fund #314 Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $1,000,000 in Stormwater Management Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund
#403 projects.
• To partially offset the $28,594,710 in capital costs we anticipate $19,897,385 in grant
revenues which results in 69.58% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to
95.25 in 2020. This includes the addition of a second Code Enforcement Officer in the
Community and Public Works Building Division, which necessitates increasing the part-time
0.5 FTE Attorney position to fulltime due to increased workload.
1
Pertaining Specifically to the General Fund:
• The 2020 recurring revenue estimate of $48,281,800 is $2,784,400 or 6.12% greater than the
2019 budget of $45,497,400.
• The 2020 recurring expenditure proposal of $43,221,986 is $1,260,515 or 3.00% greater than
the 2019 amended appropriation of $41,961,741.
• Budgeted recurring revenues currently exceed recurring expenditures by $5,059,814 or
10.48% of recurring revenues.
• Nonrecurring revenues total $70,000 for a potential nonrecurring grant to partially fund the
crisis co -response team included in Public Safety expenditures.
• Nonrecurring expenditures total $1,758,200 and include:
o $190,000 for Information Technology expenditures including:
■ $20,000 to replace outdated copiers
■ $70,000 to upgrade storage devices at City Hall
■ $100,000 for replace and upgrade the video security system at CenterPlace
o $15,000 for carpet replacement at the police precinct
o $13,700 for furniture and equipment for the additional code enforcement officer
o $9,500 for carpet replacement at CenterPlace
o $1,500,000 transfer out to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to complete
improvements to the CenterPlace west lawn
o $30,000 transfer out to the Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 to acquire a
new vehicle for the additional code enforcement officer
• The total of 2020 recurring and nonrecurring revenues exceeds total expenditures by
$3,371,614.
• The projected ending fund balance for the General Fund at the end of 2020 is currently
$34,270,468 or 79.29% of recurring expenditures.
Crisis Co -Response Team Funding:
• The cost of implementing the crisis co -response team would be approximately $100,000 to
pay for the payroll costs of a behavioral health specialist. This is currently included in the 2020
Budget worksheets within recurring Public Safety expenditures in the General Fund #001.
• The recurring expenditures could potentially be partially offset by nonrecurring Trueblood
grant money for a limited time, which is included in the General Fund #001 as a nonrecurring
revenue.
• If we are successful in obtaining grant money for a team we might consider using a portion of
the $100,000 for mental health and/or homelessness efforts including contracts for
transportation and outreach teams to engage with the homeless in Spokane Valley.

Funding Challenges:
• Declining revenues in the Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our ability to deliver historic
levels of service. Fund #101 is dependent upon motor vehicle fuel tax revenues and telephone
utility tax revenues.
o Motor vehicle fuel taxes have increased slightly due to recent State legislation; however,
they are generally flat or declining in recent years due to improvements in vehicle fuel
mileage
o Telephone utility taxes have been declining at an average of 5.37% per year from 2009
through 2018. We believe the decline is primarily due to the elimination of land lines by
individual households. The revenues from this tax reached a high of $3.1 million in 2009
(the year the tax was implemented) and is currently estimated to generate $1.5 million in
2020.
o At the August 20, 2019 Council meeting, Council requested that Staff prepare a 2020
Street O&M Fund Budget that continues to deliver historic levels of services despite the
fact that telephone utility tax revenues have continued to decline. At that time Council was
aware that recurring revenues were substantially exceeded by recurring expenditures and
asked Staff to prepare a budget that resolves this funding imbalance with a one-time
transfer during 2020 of Capital Reserve Fund #312 money. The necessary transfer is
$1,364,706 and this is reflected in both Fund numbers 101 and 312.
• Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs.
o Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is relying more heavily on REET revenues due to an
elimination of the contribution from the Street Fund #101 related to declining revenues
and an elimination of contributions from the Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123. The
fund balance in Fund #123 was entirely depleted at the end of 2016, and the fund was
closed during 2017.
o Reliance on REET revenues to fund pavement preservation in Fund #311 limits the City's
ability to provide match funding for State and Federal grants received for other street
projects.
o Railroad grade separation projects (overpasses and underpasses) are exceptionally
expensive endeavors and are largely beyond the City's ability to finance through existing
sources of revenue. The City has secured funding for the Barker Rd. Grade Separation
project; however, funding is still needed for other grade separation projects within the City.
OPTIONS: State law requires a public hearing on the final 2020 budget; and this is the third public
hearing on the 2020 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: As the purpose of the public hearing is to gather input
from the public in regard to the 2020 Budget, no action is requested at this time.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This public hearing is the final step leading to Council
consideration in its second reading of the ordinance that will adopt the 2020 Budget.

Mayor Higgins called the meeting to order at 6:00 p.m.
ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present except Deputy
Mayor Haley (who had called prior to the meeting to state she was ill and would not be participating via
phone). It was moved by Councilmember Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to excuse Deputy
Mayor Haley.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: It was moved by Councilmember Woodard, seconded and unanimously
agreed to approve the agenda.
ACTION ITEM:
1. Resolution 19-014, Barker Road Homes Sewer Project CDBG — Chaz Bates
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded to approve resolution 19-014 formally authorizing
the relinquishment of the City's 2020 and 2021 program year CDBG Spokane County set-aside in order to
assist eligible low and very low income homeowners with Assessment and Connection charges on the
Barker Road Homes project. After Mr. Bates explained some of the history and the project as noted in his
Request for Council Action form, there was some discussion about some of the figures, with Mr. Bates
explaining that the figures are estimates as we don't know the exact number of families that will be
involved. Councilmember Thompson asked if people would be required to connect and Mr. Bates replied
that they would; adding that the assessment over time would be about $46.00 a month, based on various
scenarios; and stressed that these funds would provide funding for Sewer Assessment grants as well as for
zero -interest loans for the side sewer connections for qualifying homeowners. In response to a question
about any remaining funds from the set-aside, Mr. Calhoun noted the last sentence of the resolution states
that if "after assistance for the Assessment and Connection charges with the Barker Road Homes project,
there are additional funds from the City's set -side, such funds may be allocated to other projects within the
County as recommended by the Community Services Advisory Board." Mayor Higgins invited public
comment; no comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion
carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
2. Park Regulations — Erik Lamb, Mike Stone
Deputy City Attorney Lamb explained that this topic was brought to Council in August of 2018, at which
time Council identified some items of concern, so staff conducted further research; one of the issues that
has impacted this issue is the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals decision concerning no camping and no sit/lie
Council Study Session: 10-15-2019 Page 1 of 3
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
regulations in the case of Martin v. Boise; that concerning our park regulations, staff found some ambiguity
in our regulations so those will need to be updated as well; he said staff is proposing to remove camping
from park regulations and have separate camping regulations. Mr. Lamb said the issue of drones in parks
was brought up previously and he noted there are some areas in parks where drones would not be
appropriate, such as in close proximity to where children would play on playground equipment; he said the
idea is to restrict drones in parks except to permit them in specifically designated areas; said there are some
things we can do under federal law; he said we can't limit where they fly but we can restrict the operators
as to where they launch from, and they can't launch within park properties except in specifically designated
areas. Mr. Lamb also noted that pinatas were discussed including some concern about damage to trees and
other structures, so the proposal is to prohibit hanging them from trees, but they would be permitted within
picnic shelter structures provided it is done in a way that is not likely to result in damage to a facility or any
person.
Mr. Lamb explained that a debatable issue is establishing the park hours of operation, and he mentioned
that currently the hours are dark until 10:00 p.m., however, he noted that proposed code language sets the
hours as open at 6:00 a.m. and closed at sundown or 9 p.m., whichever occurs later, but the RCA mentions
the proposal is to change the hours from 6:00 a.m. until sundown or 9:00 p.m., whichever occurs first. Mr.
Lamb said he will talk with Mr. Driskell upon his return and discuss the preferred recommendation.
Director Stone explained that the objective is to reach a balance as they'd like to have the maximum number
of hours open during reservation season, and if there are times to limit hours, to examine that closer; said it
has taken several years to educate the public about the system and a change in times will require re-
education, as well as a re -write of the policies and reservation forms; and he suggested the idea of having a
two-tier system: one for during reservation, and the other to address the remainder of the year.
Councilmember Thomson mentioned movies in the park and Mr. Stone explained those types of activities
would require a special permit which would dictate when the hours would be allowed for the event. A
question arose about how to enforce the hours in the park or if someone walking across a park after hours
would be in violation. Mr. Lamb explained that the intent is to limit park hours after dark because that is
usually when there is unwanted activity, and that there generally are not problems during the day. Mr.
Calhoun restated that the hours for the parks to be open would be determined by Council. Director Stone
stated that law enforcement would likely have data on the calls they respond to, but it would not be possible
to determine when such unwanted acts occurred as most of the time, it is reported after the fact when it is
discovered by the Senske crews. Mr. Lamb said he will check with law enforcement to see if there is data
available.
A question came up about closing restrooms and Mr. Stone stated that restrooms are usually open April 15
through October 15 primarily because of the water; he said staff is researching automatic timers on
restrooms; that they are not fail -proof but staff is trying to find ways to work with that. Councilmember
Wood said it is sad we have to close the parks so families can't use them because of some people who abuse
the facilities; said he would like to explore leaving the parks open until 9 or 10 pm, or whichever works
year around. There was apparent consensus to bring this forward for a first reading, and to perhaps include
more than one option to consider for park hours.
3. Camping in Public Spaces — Erik Lamb
Deputy City Attorney Lamb said that over the last few years we have seen significant impacts regarding
the homeless, and there have been discussions about the various issues including funding problems, and
what we can and can't do in light of the Martin v. Boise case; he said staff continues discussions with
Spokane City and Spokane County about the numerous issues surrounding a shelter. Mr. Lamb said that
those past discussions are not tonight's topic as this agenda item focus is one small aspect, that of regulatory
enforcement of no camping; he said staff proposes having a comprehensive ordinance that would apply to
all public property. Concerning the draft code language, Mr. Lamb said this ordinance would prohibit
camping on public property and rights -of -ways such as roadways, sidewalks and stormwater property; as
well as prohibit camping on City Hall property, parks and park facilities and any other public property
Council Study Session: 10-15-2019 Page 2 of 3
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
where camping would materially interfere with the intended public's use of the property; he said it would
also prohibit encampments, and he described the aspects of that prohibition as noted in his Request for
Council Action. Mr. Lamb noted that this ordinance would be similar to the regulations adopted by the
County so police would have some familiarity; said the goal would not be to adopt this and then give people
a citation, but rather to connect people with resources to hopefully get them out of being homeless; and said
he is seeking Council consensus to bring this forward for an ordinance first reading. Councilmember Wick
asked about the fairgrounds, and Mr. Lamb said camping would be allowed by law in designated areas, and
said he will make a note to include that in the draft. There was Council consensus to bring this forward for
an ordinance first reading.
4. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
5. Council Check-in — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Peetz extended kudos to staff for handling a matter at Balfour Park, and Mr. Calhoun added
that there was a lot of standing water next to the park, so the stormwater crews fixed it so the water will
drain off the roadway; he added that the stormwater staff continues working through several projects to try
to get them taken care of before winter.
6. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun mentioned the completed project in the Midilome neighborhood, and that it was the
first project using the funds from the street wear fee; and with the completion of the project there will be a
small ribbon cutting next Wednesday, October 23, at 4 pm; he said it will be small as there isn't a large
space for it; and that more details will be announced later.
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 6:49 p.m.

Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said he thinks someone needs to address this; said he attended the
Sheriff's presentation at CenterPlace about a month ago and was appalled that a county sheriff was attacking
a duly elected representative; said this been going on for years and is shameful; said that Mr. Shea is a
Christian and has done a credible job.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
7. 2020 State Legislative Agenda — Mark Calhoun, Cary Driskell
City Manager Calhoun said that each Council adopts a legislative agenda for our legislators to pursue on
our behalf, and that this is the second time to discuss this 2020 agenda; said this agenda reflects the next
evolution and includes changes suggested by Council during the September 10 council meeting. Mr.
Calhoun highlighted the changes shown in the Pines Road item; he went over the I-90 Barker -to -Harvard
Project Cost Overruns item which supports Senator Padden's proposed language to include that Liberty

Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Lake would be responsible for their cost overruns, and WSDOT would be responsible for theirs. Mr.
Calhoun mentioned the new Capital Project Request and said staff will refine the language, but staff is
seeking guidance from Council on which funding item to include: either the Sullivan Park water line or
paving the additional property associated with the City's Police Precinct Building. Mr. Calhoun said that
our lobbyist Gordon Thomas Honeywell suggested we have just one request, and staff is looking for
Council's decision to do one or the other of the mentioned requests, or even something different. After Mr.
Calhoun and Mr. Driskell finished going over the remaining agenda items, Councilmember Woodard
suggested staff come back with solid numbers on the two alternative capital project requests, particularly
the one about the water line as he feels the figure is substantially higher than what has been thought in the
past. Mr. Calhoun said staff will determine those figures and have that information when this is presented
again to Council for a motion consideration November 19.
8. Initiative 976 — Erik Lamb, Chelsie Taylor
Deputy City Attorney Lamb said that he and Finance Director Taylor are here to provide some information
about the Initiative; said this was brought up as part of an Advance Agenda request; said he wants to be
clear that we are not talking about support or opposition of the ballot measure as Washington state law
prohibits the City from using public facilities to support or oppose any ballot proposition; said there are
some exceptions and items such as tonight's informational report, are permitted; said the Council as a body
could also vote on a resolution to oppose or support a ballot measure, but only after providing appropriate
notice and providing the public an opportunity to comment, from people in support and in opposition to the
issue; he said the Council's Governance Manual also states that Council has chosen not to support or oppose
any ballot issues as they are left to the will of the people voting.
Mr. Lamb said his information is mostly compiled from the voter's pamphlet, and some from the AWC
(Association of Washington Cities) fiscal impacts. Mr. Lamb explained some of the components of the
Initiative, as noted in his Request for Council Action form, along with a chart showing the fiscal impacts,
what it pays for, and what Spokane Valley receives. There was some brief discussion about STA (Spokane
Transit Authority) and regional transit authorities; and Councilmember Wood said that at the STA meeting,
STA did not take a position on this initiative.
9. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Thompson said she would like some information about which events at CenterPlace pay
rent and which don't and how that is determined. There was general Council consensus to put that on the
Advance Agenda. Councilmember Thompson also mentioned the mobile home park west of pines and north
of the railroad tracks, and said they haven't had good water for a long time as their well is contaminated;
said she heard the people there are getting bottled water but that it gets left out in the sun; said she knows
our City doesn't regulate water but it is important to watch over the citizens and she would like to figure
out how to help them move forward, or to get an update to find out what we can do; that she'd like to
advocate that people should be able to stay in their homes, and said she would appreciate a report. There
was general Council consensus to include that on the Advance Agenda.
Deputy Mayor Haley said she supports our law enforcement contract and officers, and that she feels there
are misunderstandings or misinformation and she'd like to get a report on officer staffing and the vacancy
rate for our City and for the County, and whether we are fully staffed, and that she'd like to know the impact
of vacant positions. There was general Council consensus to include that on the Advance Agenda.
10. Department Reports
The Department Reports were for information only and were not reported or discussed.

CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Calhoun mentioned the draft letter to Speaker Designate Jinkins, and said he seeks Council
consensus to have the letter signed and mailed. Councilmember Thompson said she would prefer the
language in the second paragraph concerning collaborative struggles, to be re -stated more positively, and
Mr. Calhoun agreed. There was Council consensus to make the noted change and have the Mayor sign and
have it mailed. Mr. Calhoun said that the Midilome neighborhood is the first project using funds from our
street road wear fee, and that there will be a small ribbon cutting tomorrow at 4:00 p.m. at the corner of 37th
and Bates. Mr. Calhoun mentioned that WSDOT (Washington State Department of Transportation) will be
holding a meeting to give an update on the I-90 Barker Road Interchange Project; and that the meeting will
be held this Wednesday night, from 5:30 to 7:00 p.m. at the Riverbend Elementary School, and that the
following week Council will hear an administrative report on the subject.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

ACTION ITEM:
1. First Reading Ordinance 19-018 Amending Park Regulations —Cary Driskell, Mike Stone
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded
to advance Ordinance 19-018 amending park regulations to a second reading. City Attorney Driskell
explained the proposed changes to the park regulations, adding that one of the main changes is the open
hours of the park, which he said based on public safety; said he wants to make sure that we provide the
appropriate tools to law enforcement so they can better police these issues so we have parks that are open,
available and safe for the majority of our population; he noted the two-tier park hours of April 15 to October
15, open at 6 am and close at 9 pm; and October 16 to April 14, open at 6 pm and close at 7 pm, and Mr.
Stone further explained that these dates coincide with the winterizing and closing of the restrooms,
including turning off the water. Mayor Higgins invited public comment; no comments were offered.
Councilmember Wood expressed his preference to keep the parks open until 9 pm instead of 7 pm; said he
thinks citizens have the right to use the parks and he doesn't like criminals controlling the rest of us.
Councilmember Wick asked for clarification concerning hot air balloons. Attorney Driskell said that
Valleyfest has not used the balloons for a few years, partly because we were requiring enhanced insurance
if they were to be launched from City property; further, he explained, WCIA (Washington Cities Insurance
Authority) expressed concern about the activity and that if we were to allow it, to make sure the people
launching the balloon and us, were covered; he said the policy choice now is whether to allow it and if we
do allow that activity, he recommended it be done under the special event permit. Other discussion included
inflatable equipment, and fishing. Mr. Stone said we haven't allowed fishing for twelve years; said the pond
is man-made and there would be challenges; that historically Valleyfest was allowed use for one day only,
and that through special event permit; he cautioned allowing this activity and said challenges would include
possible damage to the pond, and cleanup; he also noted inflatable play equipment also causes significant
Council Study Session: 10-29-2019 Page 1 of 5
Approved by Council:

damage to turf; that it is a high risk activity and insurance is required; said if we allow it even through
special permit, that also presents a problem as people see it and assume it is permitted; said this would be
a policy decision by Council, but that he would not support that activity. Vote by acclamation on the motion
to advance the ordinance to a second reading: In Favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Haley, and
Councilmembers Peetz, Woodard, Wick and Thompson. Opposed: Councilmember Wood. Motion carried.
Discussion then continued on the activities that might require a special use permit, and it was determined
that further changes can be made for the ordinance second reading. There was full Council consensus to
include inflatables and hot air balloons as part of the special event permit. Concerning park hours,
Councilmembers stressed the need to have signs very clearly posting the park hours; and except for
Councilmember Wood, there was consensus to keep the two-tier hours as drafted in the ordinance.
2. First Reading Ordinance 19-019 Regulating Public Camping — Erik Lamb, Cary Driskell
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded
to advance Ordinance 19-019 adopting regulations regarding camping on public property to a second
reading. Deputy City Attorney Lamb said that this is just one component of the overall discussions
regarding the homelessness issues and that there will be future collaborative discussions on the topic with
Spokane County and Spokane City. Mr. Lamb said that this ordinance will adopt a new chapter in our
Municipal Code to regulate camping on public property; that this ordinance has three components, (1) no
camping on public property, and he noted the change in 7.50.020 regarding the fairgrounds and that this
ordinance is not intended to prohibit camping in designated spots; (2) it prohibits encampments, which is
defined as two or more in close proximity; and (3) consistent with the Martin vs Boise case, our Code would
not be enforced if shelter bed space is not available; he also noted there would be certain areas where public
camping is never allowed, including City Hall grounds, Balfour Park, and Mirabeau Meadow/CenterPlace
grounds. Mr. Lamb explained that Balfour Park is not permitted due to the high number of responses of law
enforcement there; and said this ordinance is similar to the County's already adopted regulations. Mr. Lamb
stated that the goal is not to arrest but to get people into the resources they need, and to provide notice that
this is adopted and at some point, will be enforced; but for now, it would be a tool to use for those who
don't want to take advantage of the resources. Mayor Higgins invited public comment.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: regarding the 48-hour notice to vacate, said that is a long time; said she
has been working with Chief Werner about an individual and his RV which he keeps moving from spot to
spot; she also questioned why there can be none of that type of parking at City Hall, but that people can
park on city streets.
Mr. Bill Gothmann, Spokane Valley: said he has a relative who drives an RV across country to see him;
that it is a fully contained RV and he would be staying out here about a week, but that this ordinance would
prevent him from parking there; said people should be able to park on their own property or on a right-of-
way that the City owns and isn't used, like in front of his own house; he suggested maybe permit this type
of parking for up to one week. There were no further public comments.
Councilmember Wick asked about precluding RV's in rights-of-way and Mr. Lamb explained that this
would preclude camping in rights-of-way; he said the rights-of-way are intended for the public's use; said
it would present a challenge to allow an exception and difficult to enforce to have such an exception for a
week; said private property would seem to be the better location than the public right-of-way.
Vote by acclamation: In favor: Mayor Higgins, Deputy Mayor Haley, and Councilmembers Thompson,
Woodard, Peetz, and Wood. Opposed: Councilmember Wick. Motion carried.
3. Motion Consideration: City Hall/CenterPlace Holiday Closure — Mayor Higgins
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley and seconded to authorize the closure of City Hall and CenterPlace
at noon Wednesday, November 27, 2019, to allow staff time to prepare for their Thanksgiving Holiday; to
close City Hall and CenterPlace for the entire day on Tuesday, December 24, 2019, and to close at noon
Council Study Session: 10-29-2019 Page 2 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Tuesday, December 31, 2019; that this closure will affect only normal administrative functions of the City,
however, all pre planned events at CenterPlace will take place as scheduled. Mayor Higgins invited public
comment; no comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion
carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
4. Mental Health Crisis Stabilization Facility — Morgan Koudelka, Chief Werner, Ariane Schmidt, Kristin
Gable
Leading the discussion was Ms. Arianne Schmidt, Regional Project Manager for the City of Spokane and
Spokane County, along with Ms. Kirstin Gable, under contract with Pioneer Human Services, the
organization selected as the operator of this program, as well as Spokane Valley Police Chief Werner, and
City of Spokane Valley Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka. Ms. Schmidt explained that they are here
tonight to brief Council on the update of this facility. As shown in Ms. Schmidt's PowerPoint presentation,
she noted there are three phases of this project: Phase I, initiation and planning, August 2019 through
October 2019; Phase II, construction/ramp-up, November 2019 through October 2019, and Phase III,
operational readiness, November 2020 through March 2021. Ms. Schmidt went over the performance
measures including goals and the associated metric; they showed the Spokane current state individual in
mental health crisis incident, compared with the Spokane future state with MHCSF individual in mental
health crisis incident; with the future state alleviating the need for court proceedings and other steps
associated with jail bookings; they also showed some statistics from the Snohomish Diversion Pilot
program; they mentioned the program definitions and scope with the core services of mental health crisis
stabilization and withdrawal management operated by Pioneer Human Services, and offering on-site at the
facility; they went over the proforma summary core services operating costs and estimates; they noted the
municipality fee construct criteria and estimates based on 2019 point in time counts; and showed the
municipality fee breakdown of those organizations and entities participating in the facility; they mentioned
that next steps include approval by the Spokane County Commissioners, and once approved, they can begin
Phase II to develop contract and agreements with municipalities, engage the architect, and collaborate on
building requirements.
City Manager Calhoun said he would like to hear from Chief Werner on law enforcement's perspective of
what this would mean to their operation. Chief Werner said currently there are two alternatives for people
in crisis: the hospital or being booked into jail; he said the goal of the proposed facility is to assist in
connecting people to the services and get them stabilized; otherwise, the people get booked into jail,
released and go through the system over and over, which of course is not a great solution. Chief Werner
also noted the potential costs are preliminary numbers and further research is needed to refine those figures,
with Ms. Schmidt adding that they want to make sure municipalities are in for the long haul. There was
Council consensus to be and stay involved.
5. Police Department Quarterly Report — Chief Werner
For his quarterly report, Chief Werner discussed the scope, patrol, investigative units, and staffing,
including volunteer SCOPE hours, average patrol staffing per shift, calls for service and responses, external
complaints and their resolutions, number of persons charged and number of felony and misdemeanor
charges, number and type of search warrants issued, seizures and recoveries, property crimes, and staffing.
Councilmember Peetz asked if there are any positions that need to be filled and Chief Werner explained
that all authorized funded positions are filled, and said the factors contributing to the attrition rate have not
yet had an opportunity to fully impact the 2019 new hires. Councilmember Woodard added that they are
filled, but due to various stages in training, not everyone is in the field yet. Mr. Calhoun said there will be
a more in-depth report on staffing at the November 12 Council meeting.
6. Barker I-90 WSDOT Interchange Project Update — Gloria Mantz, Erica Amsden
Engineering Manager Mantz introduced Ms. Erica Amsden, Spokane Valley Project Manager, and HDR
Engineer Mr. Scott Marshal. Mr. Marshall explained the WSDOT (Washington State Department of
Transportation) project location and purpose, showed a drawing of the design summary with the eastbound
Council Study Session: 10-29-2019 Page 3 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
and westbound roundabouts, and discussed the turn restrictions at Boone Avenue and at Broadway Avenue.
Ms. Amsden then discussed a summary of the public meeting which included about 70 members of the
public; she said most people are in favor of the project, but there were some traffic concerns, as noted on
the slide; she also mentioned concerning temporary traffic control, that there will be coordination of this
project with the Liberty Lake projects. Councilmember Wick asked if both projects were going to be
scheduled at the same time and Ms. Amsden replied that yes, WSDOT is planning to construct both at the
same time.
7. Pavement Preservation Ad Hoc Committee — Bill Helbig, Adam Jackson
Although this is a continuation of the October 1 presentation, Mr. Jackson said the information is not
necessarily new; said they had a third party consultant perform an evaluation and do some improvements
of the program, particularly concerning the public outreach; said that other entities who had such an ad hoc
committee or task force were more prone to succeed as they had a group of stakeholders help provide
recommendations; he said this committee would not be a sole source and would be open to questions, and
he brought Council's attention to the draft committee outline, which Mr. Jackson said will change as
needed. Mr. Helbig agreed the schedule is aggressive; said the City of Vancouver went through this process
and it took about two years to get through it; and that Bend, Oregon kept their committee in place to help
them annually. There was some discussion about meeting attendance and Mr. Jackson said while they want
to be flexible, the dates are critical. After further brief discussion, there was Council consensus to proceed
as staff suggested.
8. Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project, FMSIB Funding — Adam Jackson
Planning and Grants Engineer Jackson explained that this project is a city priority, discussed by Council
numerous times; he went over the history of the project as noted in his Request for Council Action, and
said that there is an opportunity to go before the FMSIB board to ask that this project say on the list and
remain active and said we don't want to lose that opportunity; said the FMSIB Board meeting will be held
November 15 and we'd like to make a request that FMSIB reinstate the project on their active list and
continue to fund the project; he said staff recommends that we ask for the original requested amount of $5.3
million; he noted that the $5.3 million is 18.28% of the currently anticipated $29 million total project cost
and that amount is consistent with the City's previous awards for the Barker Road/BNSF Grade Separation
Project as well as the Barker Road Corridor projects FMSIB award amount which was equal to 20% of the
total project cost.
Discussion followed with Mayor Higgins asking if those figures are adjusted for inflation. Mr. Jackson
replied that there aren't any real dollars as the funds are about to be taken away; he mentioned that the
legislature has given FMSIB a tool to formally cancel projects; he said this wasn't a priority when we
incorporated as Bridging the Valley was still being developed; that in 2017 we dedicated local funds and
the project was gaining traction and ranked a very high priority state-wide as well as FMSIB's #1 project
in the state. Councilmember Wick stated that as one of the City's representative on the FMSIB board, he
doesn't get to vote on this since it is our project, but a case for this project was made a year ago and this
was up for cancellation then but still slated as a WSDOT project; that the Board wants to see projects
completed but doesn't always have the funds so they elected to keep it around for another year to see if the
project gained any progress; he said that when the board does allocate funds, they either set a cap on the
total dollar amount and then look at the percentage of the project; that they adhere to an RCW statute that
states funding needs to be at least 20% of the project but that they have not always held to that, and if we
ask for 20% of our new project balance, that would probably be closer to $6 million. Mr. Jackson said it is
his impression that a 20% award is a very high value and often awards are less. After further discussion on
the process of the FMSIB Board, Mayor Higgins asked if there is Council consensus to move this forward,
and all Councilmembers agreed.
Mr. Calhoun noted that since the FMSIB Board meets November 15th, and we don't have another meeting
until November 12, we need to settle on a number tonight; he said the deadline to submit items is November
5. Mr. Jackson stressed that it is critical to make sure there is consensus to submit and then put our funds
Council Study Session: 10-29-2019 Page 4 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
as a match to support the application; that FMSIB doesn't rely on a 20/80 split as they will come in with
their percentage, and we would be responsible for the difference; or as an alternative, staff can go present
and Council can leave that to staff's discretion on the fine point of what we believe would be the most
profitable or reasonable request. All Councilmembers nodded their heads in agreement. There was further
discussion about which figure or range of figures to decide on and what would be more likely to get us
funding. Councilmember Wick also suggested we determine which bi-annum for appropriation. City
Manager Calhoun said we could ask 30% and might get 20%; and note the amount of our own funds for
this project, which at the time of application was estimated at $11.2 million. After Mr. Calhoun calculated
that $3.36 is 30% of $11.2, all Councilmembers agreed with the 30%.
9. State Lobbying Contract Request for Qualifications (RFQ) Update — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell explained that the City has contracted with its current lobbying services contractor,
Gordon Thomas Honeywell, since 2007; that the basic services started in 2007 and have increased over the
years, as noted in his Request for Council Action form; he said the City issued a Request for Qualifications
in September and we had one response: Gordon Thomas Honeywell. There was some discussion about the
scope of services, with Mr. Driskell adding that our base price is low compared with other jurisdictions.
There was complete Council consensus that staff come back at a future Council meeting with a proposed
negotiated agreement.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Higgins
Councilmember Wood mentioned that there are some kind of boxes in Coeur d'Alene on various street
corners, with different sketches, like public art, and he asked if we could do something like that.
Councilmembers concurred to have staff research that suggestion.
11. The following items were for information only and were not reported or discussed:
a. Election Night & Council Meetings History c. Admin Quarterly Report
b. Police Dept. Monthly Report d. Customer Service Survey Report
12. Council Comments — Mayor Higgins
There were no additional comments from Council.
13. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said that the Barker Road widening project ribbon cutting is scheduled for Monday,
November 4, at 3:30 at the north section of the new pavement just north of Garland Avenue; he said there
will be a small groundbreaking of the Appleway Trail at Evergreen and Sullivan on Wednesday, November
13, at 2 pm, by the Appleway Trail just off Evergreen, said this will also be announced via social media,
and that there will be a larger ceremony in the spring. Mr. Calhoun reminded everyone that next week's
Council meeting will be cancelled as we have councilmembers up for election, and he noted the
informational report in tonight's Council packet; said when we don't have councilmembers up for election,
we don't typically meet, and that election night is of course, not a holiday.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Haley, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 8:34 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading of proposed Ordinance #19-016 which amends the
2019 Budget.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law
requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2019
Budget when it was amended on June 4, 2019. On October 1, 2019, an Administrative Report
was delivered to Council regarding the need for a budget amendment. On October 22, 2019, a
public hearing was held on this topic and Ordinance #19-016 was advanced to a second
reading.
BACKGROUND: Since the amendment of the 2019 Budget on June 4, 2019, a number of
events have transpired in the normal course of operations that necessitate a third 2019 Budget
amendment. They include:
#001 - General Fund
Nonrecurring revenues are increased by $500,000 to account for reimbursements to the City for
amounts spend in repairing the east wall in council chambers at City Hall (see additional
information under expenditures below).
Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $1,061,102 comprised of:
• $10,102 for the City's share of a Census Coordinator for the 2020 census in partnership with
the Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) and other local jurisdictions.
• $30,000 for additional outside legal services due to an increased need for outside legal
expertise on issues during 2019.
• $500,000 in nonrecurring expenditures for repairs to the east wall in council chambers at
City Hall. Staff believes this to be a conservative estimate and expects actual costs to be
less than this amount. Costs incurred by the City will be reimbursed and are also included in
the budget amendment as a nonrecurring revenue (see above).
• $500,000 in nonrecurring transfers out to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to fund
phase two of improvements to the CenterPlace west lawn. This project will be partially
completed in 2019 and 2020, with total costs of $2,000,000 over the two years.
• $21,000 in nonrecurring transfers out to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to fund
preliminary engineering for replacement of the CenterPlace roof.
#101 — Street O&M Fund
Decrease revenues by $161,400 due to updated estimates for the Telephone Utility Tax, which
represents a decrease of $100,000, and Motor Vehicle Fuel Taxes, which represents a
decrease of $61,400.
1
#105 — Hotel/Motel Tax Fund
Decrease in expenditures for tourism promotion in the amount of $108,000. This decrease
matches the total budgeted expenditures to actual lodging tax awards approved by Council in
December 2018.
#106 — Solid Waste Fund
Increase transfers out to the Pavement Preservation Fund #311 by $108,028 due to 2018
receipts of the road wear administration fee related to the Waste Management collection
contract exceeding previous estimates.
#301 — REET 1 Capital Projects Fund
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue is increased by $400,000 based on revised revenue
projections.
Increase expenditures by $372,617 due to changes in expected transfers out to the Street
Capital Projects Fund #303 to reflect current estimates for various projects and the Railroad
Grade Separation Projects Fund #314 for the Barker Grade Separation project. Grant proceeds
are expected to be expended prior to City REET funds to the extent possible.
#302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) revenue is increased by $400,000 based on revised revenue
projections.
Increase expenditures by $188,153 due to changes in the expected transfers out to the Street
Capital Projects Fund #303 to reflect current estimates for various projects.
#303 — Street Capital Projects Fund
Both revenue and expenditures decrease by $2,742,317 to reflect current estimates on a
number of projects, including the Sullivan/Wellesley Intersection, widening of Barker Road, and
construction of the extension of Garland Avenue.
#309 — Park Capital Projects Fund
This fund is being amended to reflect current estimates on a number of projects. Revenues are
increase by $2,949,602 reflecting:
• $2,132,152 increase in grant proceeds for the Evergreen to Sullivan segment of the
Appleway Trail.
• $500,000 increase in transfers in from the General Fund for phase two of improvements to
the CenterPlace west lawn. See additional information above under the General Fund #001.
• $21,000 increase in transfers in from the General Fund for preliminary engineering related to
the replacement of the CenterPlace roof.
• $296,450 increase in transfers in from the Capital Reserve Fund #312 for segments of the
Appleway Trail.
Expenditures increase by $3,016,981, including:
• An increase of $11,791 for the Sullivan to Corbin segment of the Appleway Trail reflecting
project closeout costs.
• An increase of $2,293,021 for the Evergreen to Sullivan segment of the Appleway Trail due
to construction on this project being moved up from 2020 to 2019.
• An increase of $177,920 for amenities on the University to Pines segment of the Appleway
Trail due to bids coming in at over the expected cost.
• An increase of $1,249 for the Browns Park volleyball courts reflecting project closeout costs.
2
• An increase of $12,000 on additional swing sets for playgrounds, which were previously
included in the 2019 Budget for $25,000, due to the costs of project coming in excess of
expectations.
• An increase of $500,000 for phase two of improvements to the CenterPlace west lawn. See
additional information above under the General Fund #001.
• An increase of $21,000 for preliminary engineering related to the replacement of the
CenterPlace roof.
#310 — Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
Expenditures are increased by $18,452 in transfers out to the Capital Reserve Fund #312. This
amount reflects excess investment earnings that have accumulated in Fund #310.
#311 — Pavement Preservation Fund
This fund is being amended to reflect estimated progress on a number of projects as well as
updates to estimated project costs. There is an increase of $2,297,255 in revenues, which
primarily consist of increases to grant proceeds and developer fees. There is an increase of
$2,021,621 for expenditures consisting primarily of work on the preservation project on
University from Dishman Mica to 16tH
#312 — Capital Reserve Fund
Revenues increase by $107,042 in transfers in from the Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
#310 and the City Hall Construction Fund #313, representing accumulated investment earnings
in those funds. See explanations under those funds for additional information.
Increases expenditures/appropriations of $114,548 include:
• Decreases of $1,252,602 in transfers out to the Street Capital Projects Fund for
improvements at 8th and Carnahan, widening of Barker Road, and construction of Garland
Avenue.
• Increases of $296,450 in transfers out to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 for segments
of the Appleway Trail.
• $226,700 for the purchase of land adjacent to the Spokane Valley Police Precinct.
• $844,000 for the purchase of park land adjacent to Sullivan Park.
#313 — City Hall Construction Fund
Revenues increase by $954 representing estimated investment interest earnings. Expenditures
increase by $88,590 in transfers out to the Capital Reserve Fund #312. This amount reflects
excess investment earnings that have accumulated in Fund #313, and this transfer will eliminate
the remaining fund balance in this fund. Once the remaining fund balance is eliminated, this
Fund will be closed out as part of the 2020 Budget process.
#314 — Railroad Grade Separation Fund
Revenues and expenditures decrease by $394,024. These decreases are related to updated
timing of work that is currently being done on the Barker Grade Separation Project.

The 2019 Budget amendment reflects the changes noted above and will affect 13 funds
resulting in total revenue increases of $3,357,112 and appropriation/expenditure increases of
$3,745,751.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading of Proposed Ordinance #19-017 Adopting the 2020
Budget.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State budget law.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: To date the Council has heard presentations on the
2020 Budget on seven previous occasions including three public hearings, the third of which
occurred earlier this evening. At the meeting on October 22, 2019, Council advanced
Ordinance #19-017 adopting the 2020 Budget to a second reading.
BACKGROUND: This marks the eighth occasion where the Council will discuss the 2020
Budget including three public hearings. The 2020 Budget development calendar of Council
meetings on this topic follows:
• June 11 Council Budget Workshop
• August 20 Admin report: Estimated 2020 revenues and expenditures
• September 10 Public hearing #1 on 2020 revenues and expenditures
• September 24 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2020 Budget
• October 8 Public hearing #2 on 2020 Budget
• October 22 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
• November 12 Public hearing #3 on 2020 Budget
• November 12 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
2020 Budget Overview:
• The 2020 Budget currently includes appropriations of $89,998,731 including $28,594,710 in
capital expenditures, comprised in -part of:
o $8,315,195 in Fund #303 Street Capital Projects.
o $1,510,000 in Fund #309 Park Capital Projects.
o $4,217,523 in Fund #311 Pavement Preservation including $982,023 financed by the
General Fund.
o $13,037,792 in Fund #314 Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $1,000,000 in Stormwater Management Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund
#403 projects.
• To partially offset the $28,594,710 in capital costs we anticipate $19,897,385 in grant
revenues which results in 69.58% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to
95.25 in 2020. This includes the addition of a second Code Enforcement Officer in the
Community and Public Works Building Division, which necessitates increasing the part-time
0.5 FTE Attorney position to fulltime due to increased workload.
1
Pertaining Specifically to the General Fund:
• The 2020 recurring revenue estimate of $48,281,800 is $2,784,400 or 6.12% greater than
the 2019 budget of $45,497,400.
• The 2020 recurring expenditure proposal of $43,221,986 is $1,260,515 or 3.00% greater
than the 2019 amended appropriation of $41,961,741.
• Budgeted recurring revenues currently exceed recurring expenditures by $5,059,814 or
10.48% of recurring revenues.
• Nonrecurring revenues total $70,000 for a potential nonrecurring grant to partially fund the
crisis co -response team included in Public Safety expenditures.
• Nonrecurring expenditures total $1,758,200 and include:
o $190,000 for Information Technology expenditures including:
■ $20,000 to replace outdated copiers
■ $70,000 to upgrade storage devices at City Hall
■ $100,000 for replace and upgrade the video security system at CenterPlace
o $15,000 for carpet replacement at the police precinct
o $13,700 for furniture and equipment for the additional code enforcement officer
o $9,500 for carpet replacement at CenterPlace
o $1,500,000 transfer out to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to complete
improvements to the CenterPlace west lawn
o $30,000 transfer out to the Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 to acquire a
new vehicle for the additional code enforcement officer
• The total of 2020 recurring and nonrecurring revenues exceeds total expenditures by
$3,371,614.
• The projected ending fund balance for the General Fund at the end of 2020 is currently
$34,270,468 or 79.29% of recurring expenditures.
Crisis Co -Response Team Funding:
• The cost of implementing the crisis co -response team would be approximately $100,000 to
pay for the payroll costs of a behavioral health specialist. This is currently included in the
2020 Budget worksheets within recurring Public Safety expenditures in the General Fund
#001.
• The recurring expenditures could potentially be partially offset by nonrecurring Trueblood
grant money for a limited time, which is included in the General Fund #001 as a
nonrecurring revenue.
• If we are successful in obtaining grant money for a team we might consider using a portion
of the $100,000 for mental health and/or homelessness efforts including contracts for
transportation and outreach teams to engage with the homeless in Spokane Valley.

City Manager's Budget Message
2020 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
It is with pleasure that I present the 2020 Budget for the City of Spokane Valley and to report that
the City continues to remain financially strong as a result of a long history of prudent financial
decisions dating back to our 2003 incorporation. Consistently responsible budgeting and
restrained spending have again helped us achieve the key Fiscal Policies noted in the following
pages.
The City of Spokane Valley continues to be an excellent example of how a City provides key
services to the community while holding down taxes, fees and other charges. Additionally, our
per capita employee count and personnel expenses are among the lowest (if not the lowest) of
comparable size cities in the state and around the U.S.
We recognize that to ensure continued financial stability, it is imperative that we achieve two key
goals within our General Fund:
1. Recurring annual revenues must be greater than or equal to recurring annual expenditures,
and
2. The ending General Fund fund balance must be sufficient enough to meet cash flow needs
which is no less than 50% of recurring expenditures and represents roughly six months of
General Fund operations.
I am pleased to report that each of these goals have again been achieved in the 2020 General
Fund Budget.
Beyond recurring operating activity, and due to our exceptionally strong financial position, we
have been afforded the opportunity to use the portion of the General Fund fund balance that
exceeds 50% for capital construction expenditures that are important to the City Council and
Community. Since 2013, City Councils have made the decision to transfer $27.8 million of excess
General Fund reserves to partially finance a variety of projects including each phase of the
Appleway Trail, Sullivan Road West Bridge Replacement, Appleway Avenue Landscaping,
construction of a new City Hall, the future Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project, and beginning
to set money aside for the Pines/BNSF Grade Separation Project, Barker Corridor Project and
development of Balfour Park.

Fiscal Policies
Fiscal Health is at the Core of Providing a Good Public Service
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength of
Spokane Valley. These policies set a framework that the City will follow to responsibly manage
resources and if necessary, under what circumstances we will utilize reserves to sustain
operations during economic downturns.
Financial Management
The City will strive to:
1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success.
2. Minimize personnel costs and overhead by continuing to contract for services when it makes
financial sense to do so.
3. Continue the six-year Business Plan process.
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy.
o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on
assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley carries an exceptionally low debt
burden and currently utilizes only 1.75% of its total debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 8.75% of non -voted bond capacity.
6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize the mid -year addition
of projects and appropriations.
Financial Objectives
The City's financial objectives are:
1. Adopt a General Fund Budget with recurring revenues equal to, or greater than recurring
expenditures.
2. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Fund Balance of at least 50% of the recurring
expenditure budget. This is adequate to meet cash flow needs and is the equivalent of six
months of general fund operations.
3. If necessary, utilize a portion of the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 ($5.5
million) to maintain ending fund balance minimum.
4. Commitment to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 will not
be reduced below $3.3 million (60% of $5.5 million).
5. Maintain the 2020 property tax assessment the same as 2019 with the exception of new
construction. As in the previous ten years, the City will forego the one -percent annual increase
to property tax allowable by RCW 84.52.050. We anticipate this will result in a levy of
$12,182,400 plus estimated new construction of $250,000 for a total levy of $12,432,400. The
allowable potential increase will be banked for future use as provided by law. This represents
the eleventh consecutive year that we have not increased our City property tax
assessment.
6. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs.
Commitment — By committing to these policies and the checks and balances they afford, the City
will ensure financial sustainability well into the future.

2020 Budget Highlights
City Priorities
The City's chief budget priorities are:
• Public Safety
• Pavement Preservation
• Transportation and Infrastructure (including railroad grade separations and park related
projects), and
• Economic Development
Ensuring that we've committed adequate resources to these activities accounts for much of the
effort that Council and Staff collectively dedicate to the annual development of our Business Plan
and Operating and Capital budgets.
Moderate Growth in Recurring General Fund Expenditures
Investing in essential core services identified by the Council and Community establishes the
baseline expenditures we have included in this budget. Similar to the trend experienced in most
jurisdictions, we find that the cost of providing these services often increases at a faster rate than
the moderate growth we see in the underlying tax revenues that support these core services.
With that said however, City staff and Council collectively strive to meet the challenge of
continuing to provide historic levels of service and we will again meet this challenge in 2020 where
we anticipate recurring revenues will increase over those of 2019 by 6.12%, while expenditures
increase by just 3.00%. The 3.00% increase in expenditures reflects service level expansions
including the addition of 1.50 full-time equivalent employee positions that will bolster our code
compliance efforts as well as a $100,000 investment in a crisis co -response team in our police
department.

Public Safety Costs
Over the years Council has consistently committed to the maintenance and at times enhancement
of public safety service levels and this is again reflected in the 2020 Budget where public safety
costs including law enforcement, courts, prosecution, public defense and jail related services total
$26,599,214 which is an amount equal to 214% of anticipated property tax collections (=
$26,599,214 / $12,432,400). The 2020 Budget includes the addition of a $100,000 investment in
a crisis co -response team that will pair a police officer with a behavioral health specialist whose
focus will include responding to individuals experiencing a behavioral health crisis. The intent of
the team is to reduce or eliminate involvement and recidivism in the criminal justice system by
3
working with afflicted individuals through relationship building, providing a better continuity of care
and improved case planning.
Staffing Levels
The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to 95.25
in 2020. This includes adding a second 1.0 FTE Code Enforcement Officer whose efforts will be
focused on code compliance, which will necessitate increasing an existing .5 FTE Attorney
position to 1.0 FTE to accommodate the increased workload. With these additions the City will
have a total of 3.0 FTEs dedicated to addressing code compliance issues.
The FTE count allocated among City funds is as follows:

Street O&M Fund #101
Street Capital Projects Fund #303

The personnel costs for the 75.78 FTEs charged to the General Fund represent just 21.2% of
recurring expenditures.
Taking into consideration that we contract for police services and are served by Fire and Water
districts as well as a Library District, for a major city we operate substantially below the normal
employee count and consequently at a significantly reduced payroll cost relative to many cities
across the country. Spokane Valley staff levels average about one employee for every 1,047
citizens (= population of 99,703 per the Census Bureau / 95.25 FTEs) while comparably sized
cities in the State of Washington have a much higher ratio of employees to citizens.
Since incorporation, the City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff and continues
to have the lowest per capita employee count of any Washington city with a population of 50,000
or greater. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is a lean, productive City government.
Pavement Preservation
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated spending of general fund, special revenue fund and capital
project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of financing our street preservation efforts.
In 2020, our community will again see an aggressive program of repaving our roadways. Some
may question paving roads that "don't look so bad" but the truth is the best time to repave is before
a road deteriorates to the point that full reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction costs
substantially more than pavement preservation treatments such as crack sealing or grinding and
repaving and this is why the City has committed critical financial resources to the preservation of
our transportation infrastructure. We're proud of our fine road system and will endeavor to
continue to maintain it in the best manner possible with available financial resources.
4
For 2020, we project total revenues in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 of $4,037,888 that
combined with $229,635 of fund reserves will be applied against $4,267,523 in projected
expenditures. Sources of revenue in 2020 include $10,588 in grant proceeds, $1,500,000 from
the Street Wear fee that was adopted by Council in 2018, and $2,527,300 in transfers from other
City funds consisting of:
• $982,023 from the General Fund
• $772,639 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
• $772,638 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
While Pavement Preservation is one of our critical service and budget priorities we find that
sustaining adequate levels is a constant challenge and I address this in the portion of this budget
message titled "Challenges".
Transportation and Infrastructure
The 2020 Budget includes $28,594,710 of capital expenditures that we anticipate will be in -part
offset with $19,897,385 in grant revenues which results in 69.58% of capital projects being
financed with State and Federal dollars. The projects we'll work on in 2020 include:
• $8.3 million in Street Capital Projects Fund #303
• $1.5 million in Park Capital Projects Fund #309
• $4.3 million in Pavement Preservation Fund #311
• $13.0 million in Grade Separation Projects Fund #314
• $1.2 million in Stormwater Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund #403
• $265,000 in Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 for the acquisition of a snow plow
and a vehicle for the additional 1.0 FTE code enforcement officer noted above in the section
titled "Staffing Levels".
Challenges
Beyond the annual challenge of balancing the General Fund budget, the City of Spokane Valley
has a number of on-going financial challenges.
1. Declining revenues in Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our future ability to deliver
historic service levels
This Fund depends upon a combination of gas and telephone tax receipts.
• Because the gas tax is a flat amount per gallon, and because each generation of newer
vehicles get better gas mileage, we find our gas tax revenues have recently hovered
somewhere between flat or declining. Due to the 2015 State Legislature's increase in the
gas tax we've seen a bit of an increase in this revenue source with a 2020 revenue
projection of $2,046,700 which represents an increase of $111,700 (or 5.8%) over 2015
revenues of $1,935,000.
• The 6% telephone utility tax generated $3,050,000 million in the first year of collections in
2009. Since that time however we have experienced a decline averaging 5.37% per year
and at this point are projecting 2020 revenues of just $1,521,000 which is half of the 2009
collections. We believe the decline is primarily due to the elimination of land lines by
individual households.
• Because of the ongoing decline in telephone utility tax revenues, 2020 will be the fourth
consecutive year of budgeted recurring expenditures exceeding recurring revenues.
• We have been able to continue to deliver historic levels of service in the previous 3 -years
by doing the following:
5
o 2017 - a $328,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
o 2018 - a $415,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
o 2019 - a $907,000 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from Capital
Reserve Fund #312. This is a noteworthy departure from the historic intended use of
these monies which has been for one-time capital projects.
• At the June 11, 2019 Budget Workshop, Council discussed the fact that Street O&M Fund
recurring revenues were again substantially exceeded by recurring expenditures but
expressed their interest in continuing to deliver historic service levels. At the July 16, 2019
Council meeting, Council reached consensus to again resolve the funding imbalance with
a one-time transfer during 2020 of Capital Reserve Fund #312 money. The necessary
transfer is $1,364,706 and this is reflected in both Fund numbers 101 and 312.
• Determining "how" to fully finance Street O&M Fund #101 beyond 2020 will continue to be
a Council conversation.
2. Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs
• Pavement preservation has historically been financed from a combination of sources
including:
o General Fund dollars,
o Street O&M Fund dollars,
o Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 (Fund #123) reserves that were dedicated
towards this purpose until their depletion in 2016.
o Real estate excise tax (REET) revenues,
o Grant revenues, and
o Beginning in 2018, the addition of a street wear fee that was negotiated by the City as
part of an updated solid waste collection contract that recognized the damage that
heavily laden garbage trucks do to our road system.
o Following is a table that reflects pavement preservation related revenues over the 10 -
year period 2011 through 2020:

• The City used the Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 reserves over the 4 -year period
2013 through 2016 in order to give the City time to determine how best to finance the
pavement preservation plan in 2017 and beyond.
6
• Heavy reliance on REET revenues began in 2017 following the depletion of Fund #123
reserves.
• Although we continue to exist in a robust economy with strong REET collections, we
realize that as the economy wanes in the future, so too will REET revenues. As a
consequence, overly relying on REET revenues may in the future limit the City's ability to
provide the necessary match needed for State and Federal grants that are applied to other
street construction and reconstruction projects.
• Over the past 10-12 years Spokane Valley has struggled to develop a pavement
management plan that clearly delineates the pavement condition index (PCI) that should
be maintained throughout our road system and define the amount of money we should
dedicate annually to achieve that plan.
• Our most recent study delivered to Council on April 2, 2019 divided costs between the
local access, collector and arterial portions of our street network and suggests the annual
cost is $10 million and that this would be sufficient to cover the needs of both Street O&M
Fund #101 and Pavement Preservation Fund #311.
• Even though the City's investment in our street network has consistently fallen short of
that figure however we find that the PCI is not in a free fall and is in fact holding fairly
steady ata rating of 71.
• We continues to evaluate our pavement management plan with the intent of further
refining the PCI across local access, collectors and arterials, and formulating a more
realistic cost to maintain these.
• Following that, Council and Staff will work collectively to determine how to finance the
plan.
3. Railroad Grade Separation Projects (overpasses and underpasses)
Bridging the Valley is a proposal to separate vehicle traffic from train traffic in the 42 mile
corridor between Spokane and Athol, ID. The separation of railroad and roadway grades in
this corridor is intended to promote future economic growth, traffic movement, traffic safety,
aquifer protection in the event of an oil spill, and train whistle noise abatement. The underlying
study outlined the need for a grade separation at four locations in Spokane Valley.
• Barker and Trent Road Overpass (fully funded at $24.7 million),
• Pines and Trent Underpass (estimated cost of $29.0 million),
• Sullivan Road Overpass improvements, and
• Park Road Overpass
Because grade separation projects are exceptionally expensive endeavors and largely
beyond our ability to finance solely through existing sources of internal revenue, the City has
pursued grant funding from both the Federal and State Government over the past several
years.
Barker/Trent Grade Separation Project
We reached the point of being fully funded for this project in early 2018, the final design is
nearing completion and we have entered into the right-of-way acquisition phase. The
construction phase will begin no later than 2020. Revenue sources are comprised of the
following:
Barker Grade Separation Project Financing Sources
City of Spokane Valley
General Fund reserves

• On July 11, 2017 Council approved a Phase 1 contract with an engineering firm valued at
$124,000 with a scope of services that called for evaluating two potential sites, each of
which included a roundabout and signalized intersection alternative.
8
• Staff presented subsequent reports to Council that provided design progress updates on
October 17, 2017, December 13, 2018 and June 4, 2019.
• A total of five public outreach meetings were held between October 2017 and May 2019
to seek input on the design alternatives.
• Input was sought from a variety of stakeholders including BNSF, the Spokane Valley
Police Department, Spokane Valley Fire Department, East Valley School District, the
Fourth District Legislative Delegation and freight industry representatives.
• On June 18, 2019 Council approved a design alternative that moves the intersection to
the east of the current location with a roundabout as intersection control.
• In early June 2019 the City was awarded a Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety
Improvements (CRISI) grant in the amount of $1,246,500, the proceeds of which can be
applied towards the design phase.
• Staff are currently in the process of finalizing the CRISI grant documents and once these
are complete we will begin negotiations with an engineering firm to begin the final design
phase.
• Future property acquisitions will be necessary during the right-of-way phase of the project
but this cannot be determined until the final phase of the design is well underway.
• The City has applied for a variety of both state and federal grants including the TIGER,
FASTLANE , INFRA and CRISI programs and we currently have a BUILD application in
the amount of $17.4 million outstanding.
• We will continue to apply for grant programs as they become available. We are hopeful
that having a 100% design will make us more competitive as we will then have a "shovel
ready" project.
Economic Development
To the best of our ability we focus on business retention and expansion of existing businesses
and recruitment of new businesses. Examples of ongoing and future economic development
efforts are as follows:
Comprehensive Plan — In the latter part of 2016 the City updated its Comprehensive Plan and
included an economic development element. Contained within this element is a summary of the
local economy; an assessment of strengths and weaknesses; and policies, programs and projects
to foster economic growth. The plan also included implementation strategies to improve retail,
enhance tourism, and grow businesses in the City. Among other things, the plan also streamlined
land uses by consolidating many zones and reducing many development requirements.
Additionally the plan was also designed to provide flexibility in an effort to encourage market
driven growth.
Retail Recruitment — In 2017 the City expanded into the area of Retail Recruitment by contracting
with a firm specializing in this type of service. The services we are seeking in this effort include
a review of the retail recruitment strategy; conducting a market and retail gap analysis;
development of a recruitment plan; identification of a strategic retail prospect list; and recruitment
of retail on behalf of the City. We have again included money in the 2020 Budget to continue this
effort.
WA State Department of Commerce Environmental Permitting Grant — In the latter part of
2016 the City received a $114,200 grant from the Department of Commerce that with an additional
investment of $55,000 from the City, that has resulted in a streamlined environmental permitting
9
process in the northeast industrial area of our community. This study completed the
environmental permitting requirements for the northeast industrial area which lead to the
development of a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) adopted by Council March 12, 2019. The
PAO will save industrial developers a minimum of 6 weeks permitting time while providing a
predictable path to ensure that adequate infrastructure is in place to serve the expected
developments and as a result of the PAO properties can now be marketed as truly "shovel ready".
Northeast Industrial Area — In addition to the adoption of the Planned Action Ordinance the City
engaged in 2 capital projects in our Northeast Industrial Area in 2019 that will expand and improve
our infrastructure and have the dual benefit of improving our road system and making the area
more attractive for future economic development. These include:
• Improving the City Barker Corridor from Euclid Avenue to the southern limits of the Barker
Grade Separation project including the extension of sewer service by Spokane County.
• In partnership with Centennial Properties, the completion of a new one -mile section of
Garland Avenue that will stretch from Flora to Barker.
The Budget for 2020
Strong but Guarded
Recognizing that fiscal health is at the core of providing good public services, one of the most
important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to maintain basic
services during an economic downturn. The creation and ongoing maintenance of financial
reserves since incorporation has served the intended purpose of providing Spokane Valley the
means to sustain critical public services during turbulent economic conditions and this served the
City well during the Great Recession that began in 2008. The 2020 budget again reflects a
prudent and guarded increase in continuation of service delivery capabilities. These increases
are carefully considered and well within the means of the City. Service delivery cannot grow faster
than the economic development of the City.
We are cognizant of the fact that we currently exist in the longest economic expansion in United
States history and at this point, with each passing day we are closer to the next economic
downturn. Given this, we will remain vigilant in our observance of local, state and national events
and economic trends that may impact our own community and work towards capitalizing on our
strengths, minimizing our weaknesses, and being ever watchful towards both threats and
opportunities.
Balanced Budget
Means exactly what it says — operating expenses have been balanced with known or reasonably
predictable revenues with no increase in property tax or in sales tax rates for the City. The budget
is designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year-end providing for the City's cash
flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention is given
to limiting the growth in new programs and financial commitments. This approach allows available
resources to be put toward sustaining services consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2020
and beyond.
Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the Community, City Council and Staff for a long history of financially
responsible spending and sensible fiscal planning. By saving and conserving the taxpayers'
10
money, and by adopting and adhering to prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City can provide
essential services and balance its budget for many years to come.
The City Council continues to set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City.
The management staff and employees have worked together to develop the Business Plan and
2020 Budget recommendations to achieve the Council's ongoing goal of sustainability.
I hope the Citizens of Spokane Valley are proud of the programs and strong financial condition of
their City. We invite your examination and questions regarding the 2020 Budget.
Respectfully,
Mark Calhoun
City Manager

Phone: (509) 720-5000 ♦ Fax: (509) 720-5075 ♦ www.spokanevalley.org
TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2020 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and
community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget
for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect
the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document,
the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-
day activities of the City staff.
2. It is an Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have
been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will
help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to
each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations.
The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future
implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light,
preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of
the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget
and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal
authority to expend public monies and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the
appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash
carry -forward, to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account unforeseen
contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
2020 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of
government that the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following
year. However, with the volatility that was seen in the economy with the Great Recession, the
City moved to a Budget development process that consciously reviews service levels in each
department and determines the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to
available resources.
13
The 2020 Budget development process began at the February 19, 2019 Council workshop where
among other topics, Council and staff discussed the budget in general terms. In mid-April 2019
the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2020 revenue and expenditure
estimates were due by mid-May. Through the balance of May and early June, the City Manager's
office and Finance Department worked to prepare budget worksheets that were communicated
to the City Council at a Budget workshop held June 11, 2019. Following the workshop, the
Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue and
expenditure estimates and through July and August, the Finance Department and City Manager
reviewed updated budget projections.
By the time the 2020 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 12, 2019, the Council will
have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings
to gather input from citizens:
June 11
August 20

Public hearing #3 on the 2020 Budget
Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2020 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the
public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage.
Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department
directors to ensure that actual expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The
Finance Department provides the City Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep
them abreast of the City's financial condition and individual department compliance with approved
appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council
ordinance following a public hearing.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the
City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease
the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding
one public hearing.
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
• Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with
City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are
approved.
14
• The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and
administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State
of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices.
• The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating
solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
• Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
• Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process
at the fund level prior to fiscal year end.
• The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent friendly format.
• No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt.
Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
• The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to
replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required
contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in
difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years.
• The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the
State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20,
and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of
double -entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures
or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of
Spokane Valley:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local
government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial
flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities
are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds
measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues
and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current
assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
15
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial
resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular
activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
• #101 — Street Fund
• #103 — Paths & Trails Fund
• #104 — Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund
• #105 — Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
• #106 — Solid Waste Fund
• #107 — PEG Fund
• #120 — CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
• #121 — Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
• #122 — Winter Weather Reserve Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt.
Debt Service Funds are comprised of the #204 — LTGO Debt Service Fund.
4. Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
• #301 — REET 1 Capital Projects Fund
• #302 — REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
• #303 — Streets Capital Projects Fund
• #309 — Parks Capital Projects Fund
• #310 — Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
• #311 — Pavement Preservation Fund
• #312 — Capital Reserve Fund
• #313 — City Hall Construction Fund
• #314 — Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
Proprietary Fund Types
A second type of fund classification is the Proprietary Funds that are used to account for
activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is
to finance the full cost of providing services based on the commercial model which uses a
flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the
proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both
current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their
reported fund equity (total net assets) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted and invested
in capital assets classifications. As described below, there are two generic fund types in this
category:
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public
and are supported primarily by user charges. This type of fund includes:
• #402 — Stormwater Management Fund
• #403 — Aquifer Protection Area Fund
16
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments
or funds of the City. This type of fund includes:
• #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
• #502 — Risk Management Fund
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in
the accounting system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
• Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
• Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise and internal service funds. Under this
system revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when
cash is either received or disbursed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a
modified cash basis of accounting for budget purposes and Proprietary Funds utilizing a
working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures, and
annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.
EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund #001
• Property Tax
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits
the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of up to
$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting up to $0.50 for
the Library District, which leaves the City with the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own
purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the
levy year.
• Retail Sales and Use Tax
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the
vendor to the Washington Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the
various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the 8.9% tax rate to the
agencies is as follows:
17
State of Washington
City of Spokane Valley
Spokane County
Criminal Justice
Spokane Public Facilities District
Public Safety
Juvenile Jail
Mental Health

2.30% local tax
• Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes,
such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail
sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the
receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County
and cities within the County.
• Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to
public safety purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the
total amount collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the
remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.
• Gambling Tax
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to
gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes
may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly
to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a
tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes);
Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Punchboards and Pull tabs (5% gross, less prizes);
Amusement Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (6% gross).
• Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (City's
share).
• Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This
is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public
properties.
18
• State -Shared Revenues
State -shared revenues are received from liquor sales, marijuana revenues, and motor vehicle
excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local
governments based on population. State -shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly
or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the
quarter. The 2019 population figure used in the 2020 Budget is 96,720 as reported by the
Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1, 2019. This figure is
important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
• Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings, false alarm fees, and
other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State,
with the City, on average, retaining less than 50% of the amount collected.
• Community Development
Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan
reviews, and right-of-way permits.
• Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These
fees offset direct costs related to providing the program.
• CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include
regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms,
the great room and dining rooms.
• Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior
to the distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund #101
• Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of
this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2020
the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be
$21.25 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 96,720 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2019) we anticipate the City will
collect $2,055,300 in 2020. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2020 revenue estimate this computes to
$8,600. The balance of $2,046,700 will be credited to Fund #101 for street maintenance and
operations.
19
• Telephone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with
collections beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the
City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at $1.5 million for 2019.
Paths & Trails Fund #103
Cities are required to spend 0.42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please
see the explanation for Street Fund #101) which we anticipate will be $8,600 in 2020. Because
the amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State
distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel / Motel Tax — Tourism Facilities Fund #104
The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be
used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to or other related
capital expenditures for large sporting venues, or venues for tourism -related facilities. This tax is
estimated to generate $420,000 in 2020.
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #105
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5%
state sales tax, so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax
combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax
may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of
tourism -related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $650,000 in 2020.
Solid Waste Fund #106
Under the City's contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine
Recyclers, Inc., Sunshine pays an annual contract administrative fee of $125,000 to the City. Also,
under the City's contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of
Washington, Inc., Waste Management pays an administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. This
fee shall be used by the City for costs related to solid waste services, including costs for contract
administration, solid waste planning and management, and for a portion of the City's street
preservation and maintenance programs. Of the amounts collected under the fee, no more than
1% of gross receipts may be used for contract administration.
PEG Fund #107
Under the City's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City in a capital contribution
in support of Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements an amount equal to $0.35
per subscriber per month to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise.
Capital contributions collected under this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses
exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set-up of equipment in the City Council
Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live and through
subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website.
20
LTGO Debt Service Fund #204
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax
general obligation (LTGO) bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non -voted bonds. When
LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary
to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations
pertaining to non -voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds
of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street
improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take
advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond
repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding
there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December
1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public
Facilities District. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond
issue will be $4,390,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December
1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions
from the 1St and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax. At January 1, 2020 the outstanding
balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $590,000.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance
the construction of a new City Hall along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for
this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30 -year period ending
December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in
from the General Fund. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,735,000.
REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on
each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan
under the Growth Management Act.
REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise
tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing public works capital projects as specified in the capital
facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
Stormwater Management Fund #402
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual
charge of $21 for each single family unit and $21 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for
all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service
facilities. These fees are estimated to generate $1,900,000 in 2020.
21
Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Fund #403
These are voter approved fees, the proceeds of which are applied to aquifer protection related
capital construction projects. Fees are collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City
twice each year. These fees are estimated to generate $460,000 in 2020. Fees include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the
APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal by properties within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water
meter size.
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund
transfer. These transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund
for another or a concentration of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following
interfund transfers are planned for 2020:

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS IN THE 2020 BUDGET
Budget Summary for All Funds
• Based upon funding levels anticipated in the 2020 budget, City staff will strive to maintain
adequate levels of service.
• Appropriations for all City Funds will total $90 million including $28.6 million in capital
expenditures, comprised in -part of:
o $8.3 million in Fund #303 — Street Capital Projects.
o $1.5 million in Fund #309 — Park Capital Projects.

o $500 thousand in Fund #402 — Stormwater Management projects.
o $500 thousand in Fund #403 — Aquifer Protection Area projects.
• To partially offset the $28.6 million in capital costs, we anticipate $19.9 million in grant
revenues which results in 69.58% of capital expenditures being covered with State and
Federal money.
• Budgets will be adopted across 24 separate funds.
• The full time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 1.50 from 93.75 in 2019 to
95.25 in 2020. This includes the addition of a second Code Enforcement Officer in the
Community and Public Works Building Division, which necessitates increasing the part-time
0.5 FTE Attorney position to fulltime due to increased workload.
23
• The 2020 Budget reflects the sixth consecutive year the City will set aside City monies in an
amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation
in Fund #311 — Pavement Preservation. This 6% equals $2,527,300.
• Positions and salary ranges are based on the City's compensation and classification plan.
• Payroll tax and benefit amounts are based on staff benefit plans.
• Contract costs for public safety, park maintenance, aquatics and street maintenance are
based on estimates by City staff.
• The City is setting money aside in Fund #501 — Equipment Rental and Replacement for the
eventual replacement of its vehicles as well as a reserve to replace equipment in the kitchen
at CenterPlace.
2020 General Fund Revenues
• Total recurring 2020 revenues are estimated at $48,281,800 as compared to $45,497,400 in
2019. This is an increase of $2,784,400 or 6.12%.
• The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are
collectively estimated to account for 83.43% of 2020 General Fund recurring revenues.
• The 2020 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales taxes)
is reflective of 2019 receipts to date and are currently estimated at $24.6 million which reflects
an increase of $1,715,900 or 7.49% over the 2019 estimate.
• The Property Tax levy does not include the potential annual increase allowed by Initiative
#747 which was approved by the voters in November 2001 and the subsequent action by the
State Legislature in November 2007.
o The 2020 levy is estimated at $12,432,400.
o The levy assumes we start with the 2019 levy of $12,182,436, forgo the potential annual
increase allowed by State law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which we
estimate to be $250,000.
• Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2019.
• State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2019
collections through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal

in 2019. This is an increase of $1,260,515 or 3.00%.
• The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement preservation
equals $2,527,300 and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures prior to adding
the pavement preservation element ($2,527,300 / $42,239,963 = 6%). The $2,527,300 that
is transferred to Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the following:
o $982,023 from General Fund #001
o $772,639 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
o $772,638 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
• 2020 Nonrecurring expenditures total $1,758,200 and include:

• The total unrestricted General Fund ending fund balance is anticipated to be $34,270,468 at
the end of 2020 which is 79.29% of total recurring expenditures of $43,221,986. Our goal is
to maintain an ending fund balance of at least 50.0%.
Highlights of Other Funds
Revenues
• Motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City
is estimated to be $2,055,300 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal
Research and Services Center. Of this amount, $2,046,700 will be credited to the Street O&M
Fund #101 and 0.42% or $8,600 to the Paths and Trails Fund #103.
• Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and
maintenance are anticipated at $1,521,000.
• Real estate excise tax (REET) revenue is computed by the City and is primarily used to match
grant funded street projects as well as pay a portion of the annual payment on the 2014
general obligation bonds. In 2020 we estimate these revenues to be $1,000,000 per each
1/4% for a total of $2,000,000.

• The Stormwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit (ERU) that is
equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of $21 per single family
residence and $21 per ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is
computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2019 we estimate
this will fee will generate $1,900,000.

levels of service in all programs except code compliance where we have bolstered the program with the addition of
1.50 FTEs and public safety where we are making a $100,000 investment in a crisis co -response team.
Goals for 2020

increasingly appealing as a career path for those seeking to pursue a law enforcement career in Spokane Valley.
9) Pursue opportunities to increase community interactions, share information, and obtain feedback on current and
future projects and priorities.
10) Prioritize involvement in public safety, in particular discussions regarding the jail and the criminal justice system,
in order to maintain an understanding of options to keep our costs under control.

Paths & Trails Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of this amount, the State remits
a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2020 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be $21.25 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 96,720 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2019) we anticipate the City will collect $2,055,300 in 2020.
RCW 47.030.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon
the 2020 revenue estimate this computes to $8,600. The balance or $2,046,700 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street
maintenance and operations.
The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction
and/or improvement of paths and trails within the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater
than the funds generated in a single year, we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance
is available. The City transferred $50,000 in 2014 and $9,300 in 2016 and $50,000 in 2018 to Parks Capital Projects
Fund #309 to be applied towards the Appleway Trail projects.

Solid Waste Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
In 2003, the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of Spokane and Spokane County
to join the existing Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System for a period of eight years. In 2011, that
agreement was extended through November 16, 2014.
Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable, sustainable,
and environmentally responsible, in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer,
transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. Services provided under the contract were effective
November 17, 2014, and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the
contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of $125,000 that will be used by the City to offset
contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city, including solid waste public educational
efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of $1 per ton for
each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year
following the calendar year being measured.
In June 2017, the City entered a contract with Waste Management for the collection of garbage, recyclables, and
compostables for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2028 with the option of two additional two-year extensions.
Terms of the contract require Waste Management to pay the City a one-time fee of $47,500 upon contract execution to
reimburse the City for the costs of procuring the contract. Waste Management is also required to pay the City an
monthly administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts, which is estimated to be approximately $1,500,000 in 2020.
During the years of 2013 and 2014, the General Fund #001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste
program and transferred $60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund #106 for the purpose of providing information materials
and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in solid waste transfer, transport and
disposal. The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was $202,121. Beginning in 2015 the
Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5 -year period, which equated to an annual
payment of $40,425 in the years 2015 through 2018, and a final payment of $40,422 in 2019.

CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund was established as a result of a covenant related to the issuance of limited
tax general obligation bonds initially issued in 2003 and refunded in 2014. The bonds were issued for the purpose of
constructing the CenterPlace facility. As a part of the bond issuance the City agreed to establish a $300,000 operating
reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating expenses of
CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a plan for
reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run through
December 1, 2033.

Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The City has committed to maintaining an ending fund balance in the General Fund of at least 50% of recurring expenditures
which is equivalent to 6 -months of operations. The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source
of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of revenues
that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50% reserve balance or historical levels of service.
If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund reserves dropping below 50% of recurring
expenditures, then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance
minimum. In no event would the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund be reduced to less than 60% of the current
$5.5 million balance or $3.3 million. During 2018, this reserve balance was capped at $5.5 million and any additional interest
earned was accumulated in the General Fund. This represents a Fiscal Policy of the City that is also stated in the City
Manager's 2020 Budget Message located near the front of this budget document.

Winter Weather Reserve Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Winter Weather Reserve Fund was established through Ordinance No. 05-018 to provide an emergency reserve for use
during unusually harsh winters and storms where the Street Fund #101 budget and fund balance are inadequate to
accommodate the amount of related street maintenance, including but not limited to snow plowing, sanding, and deicing, that
may be necessary. In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter, we will strive to replenish the balance back
to approximately $500,000 through subsequent years' transfers. Due to the uncertainty of when this fund might be drawn
upon we actually budget the same $500,000 in both 2019 and 2020 even though we recognize there exists only $500,000
to address this issue if it should arise.

Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bond - Debt Service Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax general obligation (LTGO)
bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non -voted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges
the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and
statutory limitations pertaining to non -voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of
CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order
to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments (much like
refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this
total:
• $5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 20 -year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be $4,390,000.
• $1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 10 -year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax (Funds #301
and #302). At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue will be $590,000.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the construction of a new
City Hall building along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for this purpose. These bonds will be paid off
in annual installments over the 30 -year period ending December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are
provided by transfers in from the General Fund. At January 1, 2020, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,735,000.

Park Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Park Capital Projects Fund was created to account for park related capital improvements. The source of financing
typically consists of an annual transfer from the General Fund #001; however, in some years the City will utilize money
set aside for capital projects in other funds. This has occurred with transfers in from the Paths and Trails Fund #103 and
the Capital Reserve Fund #312, which have been applied towards various sections of the Appleway Trail project.

Civic Facility Capital Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Civic Building Capital Projects Fund was initially set-up to accumulate resources to ultimately acquire or construct a
City Hall building. The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during
2005 through 2007, and as recently as December 31, 2009, this fund had a fund balance of $5,828,600. During 2010 and
2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to
expend nearly $2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank
elimination program (STEP) initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City
streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them.
In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the $2.5 million acquisition
of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land
acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who had planned to
construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct
a new building on this site they first had to have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the
event the Library District is unable to pass a bond, they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for
the original purchase price of $839,285.
An amendment was made to the interlocal agreement in October 2017 which extended the agreement through October 2022
with the option to extend through October 2024. Through this amendments, the City also agreed to contribute $1.3 million, of
which the $839,285 would be part, in frontage and/or joint site improvements on the Library site.
In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that were each related to the eventual
construction of a new City Hall facility. These transfers ended after 2016:
• The first transfer in the amount of $72,500, when added to the City's $434,600 annual lease payment for space in its
current space totals $507,100 which was the amount we anticipated our annual bond repayment would be if we were
to issue approximately $8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2% issue cost over 30 -years at 4.50%.
• The second transfer was our estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities, janitorial,
grounds maintenance and snow removal, and operating and maintenance supplies.
The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 was to "create" this appropriation capacity within the General
Fund. These amounts were transferred out to the General Fund in 2016 and 2017 in order to cover lease payments for the
prior City Hall location in years in which the City had both a lease payment and a bond payment for the new City Hall building.

Pavement Preservation Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
This fund was created during the 2011 Budget development process for the purpose of setting money aside for
yet to be determined street capital improvement projects. Since inception, the pavement preservation program has
been funded through a series of transfers from other City funds as well as grant proceeds. Below is a table summarizing
the funding sources for Fund #311, including actuals for 2011 through 2018 and budgeted amounts for 2019 and 2020:

NOTE: Not included in this chart for 2019 is a budgeted amount of $1,140,000 that is being charged to fund 311. This
amount is for waterline work being done for Model Irrigation District No. 18, under an MOU dated 4/10/19.
Beginning in 2013, the City committed to finance pavement preservation at a level equivalent to 6% of General Fund
recurring expenditures, which has continued from that year through the 2020 budget development. Because this is a
Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects, any money not expended
in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for re -appropriation in subsequent years.
The fund balance of Fund #123 was exhausted with the 2016 transfer of $559,808 as a consequence of following this funding
strategy. In order to maintain the City's practice of setting aside funds for pavement preservation in an amount equivalent to
6% of General Fund recurring expenditures, the City began to rely more heavily on REET funds. We have determined that
the 2020 funding level representing approximatly 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures is $2,527,300 and that this level
of funding is sustainable through 2023 assuming a General Fund contribution of $982,023 and a collective contribution of
$1,545,277 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301 and the REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302. The City will take
advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become available.

Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
This fund was created to account for the design and construction costs of various railroad grade separation projects that
are included in the Bridging the Valley concept. Due to the anticipated size, scope, and duration of these projects, managing
them in a separate fund allows for the necessary monitoring without being obscured by the variety and quantity of the
other projects in the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 as well as keeping these projects from skewing the average volume
of activity in Fund #303. Revenues for this fund consist of grant proceeds and transfers in from other City funds, such as
the General Fund #001, the REET 1 Capital Project Fund #301 and the Capital Reserve Fund #312. Expenditures in the
years of 2018 and 2019 are related to design costs for the Pines Road Underpass project and the Barker Road Overpass
project.

Aquifer Protection Area Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
In 1985 voters of Spokane County approved a ballot proposition to create the Spokane Aquifer Protection Area (APA)
as well as corresponding aquifer protection area fees with both sunsetting December 31, 2005. Boundaries of the
APA included portions of unincorporated areas (including what is now Spokane Valley) and the cities of Liberty Lake,
Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal
boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval.
All fees are collected by Spokane County and include:
• An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA.
• An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal within the APA.
• For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size.
In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley (City) entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County (County) that
authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including:
• up to $100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base
management related to monitoring of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane
Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
• a septic tank elimination program (STEP) designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems.
In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees
remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed
annually between the County, City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in
unincorporated areas, the City and City of Spokane.
The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are
designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a
variety of capital projects.

Fund: 501 Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund (ER&R) is an Internal Service Fund that is designed to provide the funds
necessary to purchase new vehicles and equipment at predetermined life cycles. This fund operates by charging each City
department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle
and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement
costs as a reoccurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be
difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the
fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle, then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and
transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then
begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle.
Beginning in 2017 a CenterPlace Kitchen Reserve was established through a transfer in from the General Fund in the
amount of $36,600 per year for 5 years to build a total reserve of $183,000, which is the estimated replacement cost of the
significant kitchen appliances and equipment at CenterPlace.
Snow Plow Replacement Program
The snow plow fleet currently consists of
nine plow trucks. Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the
trucks are equipped with 1,000-gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer. Over the past five years the City has
continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly. These improvements in
snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside
roadways. Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately
12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve
as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022. The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven
plows with two serving as backup plows. The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways
can be cleared of snow per the snow plan. Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed
in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.
The 2020 Budget includes the purchase of a single axle plow truck for approximately $235,000. Future replacements are
estimated at that cost according to the below replacement schedule.

Risk Management Fund
Spokane Valley
2020 Budget
The City of Spokane Valley is exposed to risks of loss related to a number of sources including tort; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and unemployment claims filed by
former employees through the State of Washington. The Risk Management Fund was established to account for all such
related revenues and expenses. Revenues for this fund are comprised almost entirely from an annual transfer of money
from the General Fund and the single largest expense is typically the insurance premium the City pays to our insurance
provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: November 12, 2019 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading — proposed Ordinance 19-018 amending chapter 6.05 SVMC,
park regulations.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 6.05 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of chapter 6.05 SVMC in 2003; minor
amendments in 2005, and minor amendments in 2009; administrative report August 21, 2018;
administrative report October 15, 2019; first reading October 29, 2019.
BACKGROUND: The City's Parks and Recreation Department is charged with the care and
maintenance of the City's park system, which includes enforcement of relevant portions of the SVMC. It
has been many years since the City revisited the rules governing use of the parks. Staff has noted
instances where the adopted park rules are difficult to enforce due to ambiguity or because they don't
address conduct that makes use of the parks by others more difficult or less enjoyable.
Staff has had a number of discussions over the past year in an effort to arrive at appropriate regulatory
changes, including policy direction from Council. At the October 29, 2019 meeting, there was a
consensus from Council to made several additional changes, and to provide clarification that the proposed
changes to hours of operation identified at first ordinance reading were appropriate. The language in
SVMC 6.05.030 referencing use of the Centennial Trail after closing for non -motorized transportation
was removed since that is a state facility with other hours of operation.
Language was added in SVMC 6.05.060(U) to reflect that Council wanted to permit use of hot air
balloons so long as it was done using the City's special event permit process pursuant to chapter 5.15
SVMC and SVMC 6.05.040.
Similarly, Council identified that it wanted to allow use of certain items that are defined as high-risk or
damaging, most notably including inflatable toys such as jumping castles, so long such use was through
the City's special event permit process pursuant to chapter 5.15 SVMC and SVMC 6.05.040. Language
was also added that disk golf is permitted where posted on-site by the City. Lastly, language was added
to make clear that hard tip lawn darts are prohibited in all park facilities.
OPTIONS: (1) Approve Ordinance 19-018; or (2) take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve Ordinance 19-018 amending park
regulations.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 19-019, regulating camping on public
property.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020; Martin v. Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th. Cir. 2019).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: March 26, 2019 discussion on funding for homeless issues;
June 4, 2019 discussion on 2019 Point -In -Time Homeless count for Spokane County; July 9, 2019
discussion on no -camping enforcement, HB 1406, and proposed Spokane homeless shelter; October 15,
2019 Administrative report on proposed code to regulate camping on public property; October 29, 2019
first reading of the proposed ordinance.
BACKGROUND: Like many of the larger communities on the west coast, Spokane Valley has been
experiencing significantly more impacts from the increasing issue of homelessness over the past several
years. The causes of homelessness are complex and varied. City staff continues to engage in discussions
with staff from Spokane and Spokane County regarding potential regional approaches and staff will report
back to Council at an appropriate time regarding those issues. At this time, however, there are no
homeless shelter beds available in the City of Spokane Valley. As previously discussed with Council on
March 26 and July 9, the City contributes at least $1.2 million annually to address homelessness issues in
the region, with those funds being routed through Spokane County, which then allocates them to various
public and private providers.
The City is experiencing a number of consequences of the increase in homeless individuals within the
City. As many residents have noted, there are two City parks that have recently experienced people
camping or squatting on park property, specifically Balfour Park and Sullivan Park. Councilmembers and
staff have received comments that residents don't feel safe using those parks because individuals are there
with large amounts of personal belongings. Police have noted individuals using park restrooms as
temporary housing, which precludes their use by the public as restrooms. The police recently noted that
the sink in one restroom was being used as a fire bin, causing significant risk of property damage and
personal injury. Park staff have stopped issuing park reservations for Sullivan Park because removing
homeless people from the rental facilities have proven too difficult.
The City has also noted a number of instances where people are camping in RVs and camp trailers along
roadways. This is unsafe for a number of reasons, including risk of significant injury or death if another
vehicle hits the RV/trailer. Further, the lack of sanitary waste disposal facilities creates a significant risk
of disease and contamination.
Parks and rights-of-way are intended for shared use by the public for park or transportation purposes, and
are not intended for use for habitation. Like many communities, Spokane Valley seeks to further exercise
its police powers to regulate these public areas within the constraints of the law. As identified in the
recent case of Martin v. Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th. Cir. 2019), cities have authority to preclude such public
camping, with some constraints. The primary holding in the Martin case was that if there was no
homeless shelter bed space available at the time enforcement was sought, then the person could not be
cited. However, the Court went on to say that cities could identify certain areas where no public camping
could occur, provided there was not a total ban.
Staff presented proposed regulatory language for City Council review on October 15, 2019. On October
29, 2019, City Council advanced proposed Ordinance 19-019 to a second reading.
The proposed ordinance will adopt the draft regulations as a new chapter 7.50 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code. Some important components of the proposed regulations include the following:
1. Generally prohibits camping on public property, including rights-of-way (roadways, sidewalks),
stormwater property, City Hall, parks and park facilities, and any other public property where
camping would materially interfere with the intended public use of the property. Based on a
comment from City Council during the administrative report, staff have modified the proposed
regulations to allow camping where specifically allowed by the owner of the property. This will
address instances such as the Spokane County Fairgrounds when the entity that owns the property
specifically allows camping.
2. Prohibits encampments, which are characterized by accumulations and belongings typically
associated with camping. If an encampment is found on non -park public property, a 48-hour notice to
vacate would be issued, after which the belongings would be collected and stored for at least 60 days.
For park property, there would be no 48-hour notice, and instead the person must remove the
belongings immediately. If no person is present, then the City would collect and store the belongings
for at least 60 days, with notice posted near where the belongings were collected and providing
information on where they could be collected.
3. Consistent with Martin v. Boise, the Code provision would not be enforced if shelter bed space is
not available. There would be certain areas where public camping is never allowed, including City
Hall grounds, Balfour Park, and Mirabeau Meadow/CenterPlace grounds.
As mentioned above, the City continues to explore potential regional cooperation for access to shelter
beds. Even if the City acquires a right to use a certain number of shelter beds, our Code will include a
provision stating that enforcement of the public camping prohibition will be suspended if the City/law
enforcement determine that a bed is not available at the time a citation is being considered. This will
require good communication or a system that will allow immediate checks. If this verification is unable
to be made, then a citation cannot be issued and the person would be allowed to camp in most public
space provided they did not significantly limit the intended use of the space for public purposes.
Additionally, staff is working to identify how transportation of people and belongings could occur in an
efficient manner. It is our intent not to use the police in this manner so they can continue to address other
public safety issues.

AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING A NEW CHAPTER 7.50 TO THE SPOKANE VALLEY
MUNICIPAL CODE REGARDING REGULATION OF CAMPING ON PUBLIC
PROPERTY, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley is a non -charter optional code city as provided in Title 35A
RCW and incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XI, Section 11 of the Washington Constitution and RCW
35A.11.020, the City of Spokane Valley (City) is authorized to regulate public property, including City Hall,
CenterPlace, parks, public rights-of-way, and all other public property within the City; and
WHEREAS, camping on public property, including City Hall, CenterPlace, parks, public rights-of-
way, and other public property, is a public health and safety concern due to interference with other intended
uses, such as daily operations of the City, events at CenterPlace, park recreational activities, pedestrian, bicycle
and vehicular traffic, and other public uses; and
WHEREAS, camping without adequate sanitation services, such as sewer, water, and garbage,
presents a public health and safety concern due to increased risk of spread of disease and potential for citizens
contracting illnesses; and
WHEREAS, public property is intended for, and should be, available to the public for its intended
purposes, including daily City operations, park recreational use, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular
transportation, and other public areas; and
WHEREAS, camping in such public areas does not allow the public to use those areas for the intended
purposes; and
WHEREAS, camping should only occur in designated campgrounds with proper facilities; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Martin v. City of Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2019) the Ninth Circuit Court
of Appeals (1) determined that the United States Constitution prohibits imposition of criminal penalties for
sitting, sleeping, or lying outside on public property, on homeless individuals who could not obtain shelter; and
(2) identified that ordinances prohibiting sitting, lying, or sleeping outside at particular times or in particular
locations may be constitutionally permissible since other public space would still be available, regardless of
available shelter space; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the regulatory requirements established by the
proposed amendments are necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley ordains as follows:

BACKGROUND: Over the past two years, the City has been working with David Evans & Associates
(Consultant) to develop and prepare the Barker Road/BNSF Railroad Grade Separation Project (Project).
In the first phase of the Project, which began in 2017, the Consultant analyzed and compared six
alternatives in terms of cost, right-of-way (ROW) needs, impacts to existing properties, constructability,
safety, and other pertinent Project elements so the City could select the preferred alternative. On March
27, 2018, the City Council passed a motion approving Alternative 5 as the preferred alternative for
advancing the project into design and construction. On April 10, 2018, City Council authorized the City
Manager to execute a supplemental agreement with DEA for the final design of Alternative 5.
The following major milestones that are currently ongoing, or have been completed, include:
• NEPA approval - November 2018;
• SEPA approval - January 2019;
• Tiger IX Agreement (Phase I) — Executed April 2019;
• ROW Phase Authorization — May 2019;
• ROW Negotiations Began — June 2019; and
• 60 percent plans developed - July 2019.
In June 2019, the City's ROW consultant, HDR, began negotiations with property owners to acquire the
necessary ROW for the project. In total, there are 16 parcels that are affected by ROW or easement
acquisition needs. The attached graphic shows the general overall properties being affected.
As previously noted on September 10, 2019, negotiations and acquisitions are occurring or have occurred
with the majority of the property owners. The City subsequently filed condemnation actions against three
of the four remaining property owner as a result of Ordinance 19-012. Proposed Ordinance 19-020
relates to the fourth and final property owner the City has been negotiating for acquisition with, for
property located immediately northwest of the existing intersection.
In the event that the City cannot complete ROW negotiations with this final owner, Title 8 RCW
authorizes the City to initiate condemnation proceedings and acquire the property through its eminent
domain authority. Eminent domain requires that the City pay property owners just compensation for the
property that is condemned. The City and its consultants have identified three parcels where
condemnation may be necessary. RCW 8.12.040 requires that the City take its final action indicating its
desire to condemn land through an ordinance. Proposed Ordinance No. 19-020 is the City's necessary
"final action" ordinance. It states the City Council's desire to initiate condemnation proceedings for the
parcels specifically identified.
Upon passage, the City will continue to attempt to reach a mutually agreeable result with all property
owners through negotiations. However, if negotiations are not successful, City staff will then, pursuant to
the directive in Ordinance No. 19-020, initiate condemnation litigation in Superior Court to acquire the
necessary property for the project. Condemnation proceedings, should they become necessary, will
follow all applicable laws for condemning, appropriating, and taking for public use the required ROW,
including making the necessary just compensation to the owners. Further, during the condemnation
proceedings, the owners will have ample opportunity to provide their rationale on what they believe is a
fair compensation for the real property.
Given the history of this project and the prior number of discussions, as well as the status of negotiations,
City Council may wish to suspend the rules and to adopt without conducting a second reading.
OPTIONS:
1. Move to advance Ordinance 19-020 to a second reading with or without amendments, for
consideration at a later date; or
2. Move to suspend the rules and approve Ordinance 19-020 .
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we suspend the rules and approve Ordinance 19-
020 related to land acquisition for the Barker/BNSF Grade Separation Project.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: To date, the City has secured funding in excess of $24,000,000 for
the project from seven sources. Right-of-way acquisition will be funded from the project.

the City Manager and/or his designees are hereby authorized to commence condemnation proceedings for
the property, pursuant to law, to determine and make or pay just compensation, and to take such other steps
as may be necessary to complete acquisition of the property. In so doing, the City Manager and/or his
designees are authorized to adjust the extent of the property and property interests taken or acquired to
facilitate implementation of this ordinance, provided that such adjustment shall not be inconsistent with the
project. Nothing in this ordinance limits the City in its identification and acquisition of property and
property rights necessary for these purposes. The City reserves the right to acquire other or different
property in support of the project, as the same exists or may in the future be revised. The City Manager
and/or his designees are further authorized to approve and enter into any and all such agreements,
stipulations, and orders necessary to carry out the provisions of this Ordinance.
Section 4. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance should be
held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent jurisdiction, such invalidity or
unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of any other section, sentence, clause, or
phrase of this Ordinance.
Section 5. Corrections. Upon the approval of the City Attorney, the City Clerk is authorized to
make necessary corrections to this Ordinance including, but not limited to, the correction of
scrivener's/clerical errors, references, ordinance numbering, section/subsection numbers, and any

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Resolution 19-015, Adopting the Parks & Recreation Master
Plan 2019 Update.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The City Council adopted the original Parks &
Recreation Master Plan by Resolution 06-008 on April 25, 2006, and the Parks & Recreation
Master Plan 2013 Update by Resolution 13-013 on December 17, 2013.
BACKGROUND: The Parks and Recreation Master Plan provides the foundation for short-term
parks and recreation programming decisions and for long range planning, acquisition and
development of the parks and recreation facilities. The draft of the Parks and Recreation
Master Plan 2019 Update is complete. This update incorporates recent studies and plans,
including tourism studies and the 2017 Comprehensive Plan. While the 2019 Update functions
as a "stand-alone" document, it cross-references and draws from the 2013 Update, and the
original 2006 Master Plan.
This 2019 Update includes a significant public engagement effort, basing its recommendations
on numerous stakeholder interviews, two public meetings, and input during various public
events such as the Farmers Market, Game On, and Movies in the Park. This 2019 Update will
also maintain the City's grant eligibility with the Washington State Resource Conservation Office
(RCO).
This 2019 Update is necessary not only to maintain RCO grant eligibility, but also to update the
project list. Since adoption of the 2013 Update, the City has completed the Appleway Trail,
purchased and received new park property, installed splash pads at Edgecliff and Browns
Parks, completed the sand volleyball courts at Browns Park, and made significant updates to
the West Lawn and North Meadow at CenterPlace.
This 2019 Update includes a number of changes based on the community's desires and
changing conditions. These changes include:
• Developing new parks in underserved areas
• Ensuring park facilities accommodate needs of all user groups
• Strengthening partnerships with Spokane County, school districts, and other regional
partners
• Increasing access to the north side of the Spokane River
• Replacing the horse arena at Valley Mission Park with a bicycle pump track and/or skate
park
• Supporting events at CenterPlace
• Completing Balfour Park expansion
Staff previously discussed the 2019 Update with the City Council on October 1, 2019.
OPTIONS: 1) Adopt the 2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update, or 2) take other
action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move to approve Resolution 19-015, adopting the
2019 Parks and Recreation Master Plan Update.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: N/A.
STAFF CONTACT: Michael D. Stone, CPRP. Director of Parks and Recreation; Chaz Bates,

Chapter 1.0: Introduction
This Parks and Recreation Master Plan 2019 (2019 Plan) updates the 2013 Parks and
Recreation Master Plan (2013 Plan), reflecting changes in the community since that plan's
adoption. The update is structured in a manner similar to the 2013 Plan, facilitating
reference between the old and new. Chapter topics and section numbering all match, with
only those sections requiring amendment included in this update.
Since adopting the 2013 Plan, the City has continued to focus on its core beliefs and values.
This focus has resulted in the implementation of several projects identified in the 2013
Plan as well as other community improvements. The planning context for this 2019 Plan is
a bit different than when the 2013 Plan was prepared, reflecting recent updates to the city's
comprehensive plan.
Public Involvement
Public involvement is a crucial step in comprehensive parks and recreation planning,
ensuring that the community has an effective voice in shaping the plan and that the needs
expressed in the plan and included in the implementation program accurately reflect
community desires. The 2013 Plan included an extensive public engagement effort, and this
Plan Update does as well, basing its recommendations on exhaustive stakeholder
interviews, two public meetings, and a number of tabling events at local parks throughout
the summer of 2019.
1.2 Report Organization
The plan's structure mirrors the 2013 Plan, with chapters and sections as in that document.
It is configured this way to aid in cross-referencing and to ensure continued compliance
with the Recreation and Conservation Office's (RCO) planning guidelines.

1.3 Goals, Policies and Objectives
The goals are statements about the City's desired future. These goals are supported by
policies that guide plan implementation and objectives that provide realistic, achievable,
and measurable steps toward reaching the goals. Together, the goals (bold text), policies
(italic text), and objectives (regular text) can be used to help measure the plan's success.

Chapter 2.0: Planning Context
This chapter provides a profile of Spokane Valley in the planning context of parks,
recreation facilities, and programs. This profile includes a description of the region,
planning area and subareas, natural resources, climate, demographics, land use, housing,
and population projections.
Key Findings
The following key findings emerged from an evaluation of the planning context:
• Several natural resource areas in Spokane
Valley are important for recreation. These
lands may be environmentally sensitive and/
or already used for recreation. Examples
include Dishman Hills, Antoine Peak, and the
Spokane River and its adjoining riparian
corridor and flood zone.
• Spokane Valley has a four -season climate that
supports diverse recreational opportunities
year-round. Indoor and outdoor facilities
should be considered to take advantage of
this climate.
• Spokane Valley is the tenth largest city in
Washington and the second largest in
Spokane County, with an estimated 2019
population of 96,720.
• Demographic characteristics often provide
insights regarding recreational demand,
interests, and participation. Since the City
was incorporated in 2003, there is limited historical data to illustrate demographic
variations.
City of Spokane Valley
Figure 2-A: Regional Context
• In 2016, the city adopted the 2013 park plan by reference into its Comprehensive
Plan, as this plan maintains the integrity and consistency with the adopted
Comprehensive Plan, which will be updated as needed.
2.1 Regional Context
Spokane Valley is located near the eastern border of the State of Washington in a valley that
stretches from the west plains in Eastern Washington, eastward through Spokane and
Spokane Valley to Post Falls and Coeur d'Alene, Idaho. The City is located in the heart of
Spokane County. In general, the City is bordered on the west by the City of Spokane and on
the east by unincorporated Spokane County and the City of Liberty Lake. Figure 2-A
illustrates this regional context.
Page 110
2.2 Planning Area
The planning area for the Spokane Valley Parks and Recreation Plan includes land within
the city limits plus land within the City's urban growth area (UGA) (Figure 2-B). The City
encompasses roughly 38.5 square miles (24,640 acres).

2.3 Demographic Characteristics
Demographic characteristics often provide insight for recreational needs. Spokane Valley
residents are the people who will use Spokane Valley parks and recreation facilities most
often; as such, the residents of the City serve as the foundation for parks and facility
demands. Factors such as age and income significantly affect the level of participation and
overall interest in recreational activities. Employment, education, and ethnicity also play a
role.
Age is an important factor in outdoor recreation. Generally as people age, their
participation in outdoor activities declines, with the highest participation rates occurring in
children. In general, the older the people, the less they participate in active and/or
competitive recreational activities. Children and young adults tend to favor active and/or
competitive recreational activities; these activities include basketball, baseball, soccer, and
swimming. Emerging trends have been toward non-competitive extreme sports, including
skateboarding, in-line skating, mountain biking and rock climbing. Older adults tend to
have a more passive interest in recreation programs and participate in parent/child
activities or spend time as a spectator at youth events.
Page 111
The American Community Survey estimates a 2017 population of 94,424. About one-
quarter of the City's population is under the age of 20 and 21 percent are 60 or older. While
the under 20 population is generally in line with similarly -sized cities, the over 60
population is higher than comparable cities, which may indicate recreational participation
rates are lower than comparable cities in Washington. Table 2-1 compares similarly sized
cities with the City across four broad age groups: less than 20 years of age, between ages
20-34, between ages 35-59, and over age 60.

Additionally, when compared to Spokane County as a whole, the number of households
with children is decreasing more rapidly in Spokane Valley. The percentage of the City's
households with children decreased by 5.6% -from 35.6% to 30% -between 2005 and
2014, while the proportion of households with children in the County dropped by 1.5%
during the same time period.
Income levels also reveal important recreational participation characteristics. In general,
the higher income groups tend to participate at higher rates in outdoor recreation than
lower income groups. Higher incomes also tend to participate in more expensive types of
recreation. Lower income groups may rely on subsidized programs or free facilities, such as
play areas, trails, and non-scheduled sports fields. Table 2-2 compares median (the middle)
and mean (the average) incomes for both households and families. Households include all
people occupying a housing unit; whereas, families consist of a householder and one or
more people who are related by birth, marriage, or adoption; thus there are more
households than families.

In 2015, there were 48,428 jobs within the city with nearly 28 percent (13,552) who both
lived and worked within the city. The city is a net importer of jobs, importing close to
35,000 jobs, with close to 28,000 people who reside within the city but work outside the
city.
Table 2-3 compares the top five industry sectors for workers (jobs in the City) to the top
five industry sectors for residents (jobs held by residents). An analysis of employment in
the City reveals the largest class of jobs in the city was "Retail Trade" followed by
"Manufacturing." However, the largest class of jobs for residents was "Health Care and
Social Services" followed by "Retail Trade."

Over 97 percent of people in the city identify with one race. Of those that identify with one
race in Spokane Valley, over 91 percent identified themselves as White; 1 percent as Black
or African American; 1.2 percent as American Indian and Alaska Native; and 1.6 percent as
Asian. Nearly 6 percent identified themselves as Hispanic; people of Hispanic origin may be
of any race. Source: U.S. Census Bureau, 2013-2017 American Community Survey 5 -Year
Estimates.
2.4 Land Use
Land use plays an important role in the location, distribution, and availability of park and
recreational facilities; for example, residential areas need nearby parks to serve the people
who live in each neighborhood. Generally, as individual outdoor space decreases, the need
for public open space increases. Industrial areas may need open space or natural area
buffers and parks for employee or corporate use during the day. Dense commercial areas
113
are more likely to require plazas and small areas for passive recreation and may rely on a
centralized larger community park.
Based on geographic information, the City is 20,053 acres. The majority of the City is zoned
for residential use (61 percent) followed by industrial use (20 percent), mixed-
use/commercial (17 percent), and parks and open space (2 percent). Because most of the
developed land in the City is classified residential, the proximity and location of parks and
support facilities within neighborhoods are important criteria to consider for park
planning.
Spokane Valley developed primarily as low density suburban sprawl. Incorporated in 2003,
the City developed as an urbanized area of Spokane County for decades. This development
pattern leaves many partially used sites with one single-family residence on an acre or
more of land. This land use pattern makes it difficult to acquire larger sized parcels for park
use and ensure access to formal parks.
2.5 Housing
In 2017, Spokane Valley had an estimated 50,700 housing units. Almost 30,000 of those
dwellings were built prior to 1980. Roughly 15%, or 7,845 units, of the total housing stock
was built after 2000. Spokane Valley's housing growth has been modest, but steady since it
incorporated in 2003, growing at a rate of about 1% per year. Approximately 6,000 new
residences were added to Spokane Valley's total housing stock between 2003 and 2015.
The steady increase represents an ongoing upward pressure on demand for park and
recreation space.
The type of occupied housing is also changing to reflect changing demographics, aging
population and fewer households with children. The trend from 2005 to 2014 has been
toward renter occupied housing. The trend is also borne out by market data showing a
stabilized vacancy rate for multiple family housing at four percent and increasing asking
rents. The trend indicates that demand for smaller housing options will likely increase in
Spokane Valley overall. The growing aging population and fewer households with children
may act as headwinds to the demand for park land resulting from the upward pressure
from population growth.
An important consideration for recreation participation is the percentage of household
income used to pay monthly costs: mortgage, real estate taxes, insurances, utilities, and
homeowner association fees. Knowing the percentage of monthly costs -to -income provides
an indicator of housing affordability. In general, the more affordable a home, the more
income can be used for recreation. A commonly accepted measurement of whether such
costs are considered excessive is if those costs exceed 30 percent of household income.
According to the ACS, nearly 36 percent of all households (renters and owners) were
considered cost -burdened in 2014. The percentage of cost -burdened households in
Spokane Valley increased by 1% between 2005 and 2014. The cost -burdened
disproportionately affects renters versus owners. The data shows that 51 percent of
renters versus 26 percent of owners are cost -burdened. The data would indicate that
114
demand for recreation would be weighed down by a combination of the affordability
housing and the increase of multiple family units which are typically renter households.
2.6 Population Growth
The Washington State Office of Financial Management (OFM) estimates population for all cities
and counties in the state. OFM's April 1, 2019 estimate for the City is 96,720. According to
the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, the projected 2037 population for the City is
109,913. The Board of County Commissioners allocated a population target of 14,650 to the
city. The analysis completed for the comprehensive plan estimates an additional 6,659
homes will be needed to accommodate that growth and that the growth can accommodate
that growth within its urban growth area. This increased growth will increase the demand
for park land.
115
Chapter 3.0: Existing Parks and Facilities
Understanding the parks and recreation facilities inventory at the planning period's outset
is critical. The City is one of the primary providers of parks and recreational facilities in the
City. Other public and private providers also contribute parks and open space in the area.
Four school districts (West Valley, Central Valley, East Valley, and Spokane Public Schools)
provide a variety of athletic facilities that contribute to the diversity of facilities available in
the City. Spokane County has a number of open space facilities adjacent to the city including
formal field spaces and natural open space recreational areas.
This chapter summarizes the proposed park classification system, along with key findings
regarding existing parks, open space, and recreational facilities. A complete inventory of
park land and recreational facilities in the Spokane Valley Planning Area was completed for
this process and is available from the Parks and Recreation Department.
Key Findings
• The City's parks system consists of active and passive recreational areas. There are
five neighborhood parks, three community parks, one large urban park, eight special
use areas, two trails/linear parks, three undeveloped portions of existing parks, and
two natural open space areas in the parks system (see Table 3-1). In total, there are
approximately 254.06 acres of park land.
• The City owns and operates three seasonal outdoor pools: Terrace View Pool, Park
Road Pool, and Valley Mission Pool. The City contracts with the Valley YMCA to
operate and maintain the pools. The pools were renovated in 2008-2009.
• The City does not manage or actively program youth or adult softball, soccer or
volleyball programs.
• There are a number of County and State parks sites that either border the City or are
nearby. These nearby recreational resources are noted, and are recognized as
contributing to the open space character of the community.
• In terms of overall design and site utilization, most of the parks provide a balance
between active use areas and general open space.
• Accessibility and the lack of ADA access needs to be addressed throughout the park
system. The City should continue its efforts to provide sidewalks to park amenities
from parking areas, and providing accessible routes, ramps, or transfer stations
to/in playgrounds.
• Some play equipment and park furniture is reaching an age requiring specific
maintenance, including replacement of wood components or the replacement of the
structure. Use of wood components on play structures, benches and safety surfacing
containment borders requires an annual commitment for review, maintenance and
replacement when necessary.

3.1 Park Land Definitions
In order to address specific planning needs for parks, open space, and recreational areas,
park classifications have been adopted. Each park classification provides a distinct type of
recreational opportunity. The ideal community park system is made up of several different
types or classifications of parks. The classification system adopted for the City is as follows:
• Neighborhood Parks: Neighborhood parks are designed primarily for non -
supervised, non -organized recreational activities. They are generally small in size
(about 3-7 acres) and serve people living within approximately one-half mile of the
park. Since these parks are located within walking and bicycling distance of most
users, the activities they offer serve the entire neighborhood, including children.
Typical facilities found in a neighborhood park include: playgrounds, picnic areas,
trails, open grass areas for passive use, outdoor basketball courts, restrooms, picnic
shelters, and multi -use open grass areas for practice field sports.
• Community Parks: A community park is planned primarily to provide active and
structured recreational opportunities for young people and adults. Community park
facilities are designed for organized activities and sports, although individual and
family activities are also encouraged. Community parks can also provide indoor
facilities to meet a wider range of recreational interests. Community parks serve a
much larger area and offer more facilities than neighborhood parks. As a result, they
require more support facilities, such as parking, restrooms, and covered play areas.
Community parks usually have sport fields or similar facilities as the central focus of
the park, and range in size from about 10 to 30 acres. Their service area has roughly
a 1-2 mile radius.
• Large Urban Parks: Large urban parks are parks designed to serve the entire
community. Generally, they provide a wide variety of specialized facilities, such as
sports fields, indoor recreation areas, and large picnic areas. Due to their size and
facilities offered, they require more support facilities, such as parking, restrooms,
and play areas. Large urban parks usually exceed 40 acres in size and should be
designed to accommodate large numbers of people.
• Regional Parks: Regional parks are large recreational areas designed to serve an
entire region beyond the city limits. Often they are acquired to provide a specific
and sometimes unique recreational opportunity.
• Special Use Areas: Special use areas are sites often occupied by a specialized
recreational facility and can be a component of a park. Some uses that fall into this
category include waterfront parks, boat ramps, botanical gardens, community
gardens, single purpose sites used for a particular field sport, or sites occupied by
recreational buildings.
• Linear Parks: Linear parks are developed landscaped areas and other lands that
follow linear corridors such as rivers, creeks, abandoned railroad rights-of-way,
117
canals, power lines, and other elongated features. This type of park usually contains
trails, landscaped areas, viewpoints, and seating areas.
• Natural Open Space: Natural open space is defined as undeveloped land primarily
left in its natural form with recreational uses as a secondary objective. It is usually
owned or managed by a governmental agency and may or may not have public
access. This type of land may include wetlands, steep hillsides, or other similar
spaces. In some cases, environmentally sensitive areas are considered open space
and can include wildlife habitats, stream and creek corridors, or unique and/or
endangered plant species.
• Undeveloped Land: This land is undeveloped and has not yet been designated for a
specific park use.
3.2 Park Land Inventory
The City is joined by the State of Washington and Spokane County in providing park land in
the planning area. This section summarizes the park, open space, and recreational areas
provided by these entities. The park plan recognizes that there are several park and open
space sites located just outside the city limits, such as the Dishman Hills Natural Area, the
Iller Creek, Antoine Peak, and Saltese Uplands Conservation Areas and Plante's Ferry Park,
which provide nearby recreational opportunities for area residents.
In the summer of 2019, an assessment of the City's park facilities was completed based on a
tour of the individual park and conversations with Park staff. Table 3-3: Park Facility
Inventory and Figure 3-A: Park Inventory Map provide a detailed listing of the City's park
inventory and the facilities available at each park. Table 3-1 below provides a summary of
the City's parks by park type.

b With the exception of Park Road Pool and West City Gateway, special use areas are within existing parks, so the
acreage is not calculated separately.
c Includes only Myrna Park and Myrtle Point.
3.2.1 Sports Fields
The City has limited field space to program sports activities, see Table 3-3, and thus does not
currently have an adult/youth sports recreational program. Residents of the City must rely on the
robust sports programming from Spokane County or the City of Spokane. The Spokane County
program uses the City's facilities as part of their programming.
118
The City has a tournament quality sand volleyball complex with 16 sand volleyball courts. The
programming, renting and court maintenance is conducted by Evergreen Regional Volleyball
Association (ERVA). ERVA currently pays the City a monthly fee to use the courts; the courts are
free to the public when they are available.
3.2.2 Aquatic Facilities
The City of Spokane Valley owns and operates three seasonal outdoor swimming pools and
contracts with the Spokane Valley YMCA to operate and maintain the pools. Two of the
pools are associated with existing parks: Terrace View and Valley Mission. The third pool,
Park Road Pool, is not associated with a park, but is adjacent to a middle school. The pools
were upgraded in 2008-2009 and are in good condition.

3.2.3 Trails and Shared Use Pathways
The City of Spokane Valley has two grade separated shared use pathways within its
jurisdiction: the Appleway Trail and the Centennial Trail.
Appleway Trail
The Appleway Trail is an urban trail and greenway, approximately 52.12 acres in size,
which runs east -west through the heart of Spokane Valley. It provides a shared use path for
walking, running, and cycling. The trail also provides connections for residents to the
commercial corridor. When fully completed, the trail will allow citizens to travel from
Dishman Hills east to Liberty Lake.
Centennial Trail
The Centennial Trail provides 40 miles of paved trail from Nine Mile Falls, WA to the Idaho
State Line, along the Spokane River. The trail is managed by Washington State Parks as
Centennial Trail State Park, but maintained cooperatively by each jurisdiction the trail
travels through. Spokane Valley's section is approximately from mile marker 5.5 to 12.5.
There is parking at various trailheads along the route. Spokane Valley's trailheads include:
Mirabeau Point Park (North and South), Sullivan Park, Mission Avenue and Barker Road.

Chapter 4.0: Existing Operations
This chapter reviews the existing operations and management of the Spokane Valley Parks
and Recreation Department. The review includes an analysis of the Department's
organizational structure, staffing levels, and operations, including the operating budget,
revenue and expenditures, and maintenance costs. This chapter also discusses current
program participation.
Key Findings
The following key findings emerged from the analysis of parks and recreation operations
and management:
• The Parks and Recreation Department is composed of six divisions: Parks
Administration, Parks Maintenance, Recreation, Aquatics, Senior Center, and
CenterPlace.
• As of 2019, the City budgeted for nine full-time positions.
• Parks Maintenance and Aquatics services are contracted with external businesses or
agencies.
• In 2018, the city spent just over $25 per person to run, manage and operate the
parks system.
The City's park operations have changed little since the 2013 Plan. The Department's
organizational structure remains the same, as does its approach to operating recreational
programs and system maintenance.
Organizational Structure
The organizational structure of the Parks and Recreation Department, along with its
position within the government of the City, affects the management and provision of parks
and recreation services.
4.1.1 City Structure
In Spokane Valley, there are five separate departments that provide municipal services to
City residents: City Attorney, Community and Public Works, Police, Finance, and Parks and
Recreation. Each of these departments report to the City Manager who in turn transmits
information to the Mayor and City Council and ultimately the citizens. Currently, several
City services are contracted out to private businesses or agencies. These include street
maintenance, parks maintenance, and aquatic operations. Figure 4-A shows the
organizational structure of the City.

4.1.2 Parks and Recreation Department
Within the Parks and Recreation Department there are six primary areas of responsibility:
Parks Administration, Parks Maintenance, Recreation, Aquatics, Senior Center, and
CenterPlace. Each of these areas is managed and/or supervised by the Parks and
Recreation Director. Figure 4-B shows the organization of the Parks and Recreation
Department.
• Parks Administration: The Parks Administration division is responsible for
implementing the City Council's goals and objectives for providing parks and
recreation services.
• Parks Maintenance: This division is primarily responsible for monitoring the
general upkeep of parks and public areas throughout the City, consistent with the
goals and objectives set forth by the City Council. Currently, parks maintenance
services are contracted with a private operator.
• Recreation: The Recreation Division is responsible for developing, coordinating and
facilitating the delivery of recreational services and programs within the City.
Currently, programs include a summer day camp, summer park program, youth
programming, preschool programming, adult dance classes, and limited special
events.
• Aquatics: This division is responsible for the operation and maintenance of the
City's three outdoor swimming pools. The City has contracted with a private
provider to operate and maintain the three pools since 2005.
Page 123
• Senior Center: The Senior Center Division is responsible for coordinating services at
the Spokane Valley Senior Center. The Senior Center programs and services were
moved from its original building to CenterPlace.
• CenterPlace: This division is responsible for the operation and management of
CenterPlace Regional Event Center.

4.2 Staffing Levels
In order to meet the demand for parks and recreation services, the City has budgeted for a
staff of nine full-time positions. The number of employees (full-time equivalents or FTE)
has remained at nine since 2007. A typical measure for staffing by the National Recreation
and Recreation Association (NRPA)1 is the number of FTEs per 10,000 residents. At current
staffing levels the city has approximately one FTE/ 10,000 residents. While this is on the
low end, the number does not account for city's contracts for park maintenance and
aquatics operations.
4.3 Revenues and Expenditures
Table 4-1 shows the City's General Fund budget and the recurring budget for parks and
recreation services. Generally, the parks and recreation budget has kept pace with the City
budget as a percentage of General Fund expenditures. It is expected that the parks and
recreation budget will continue to keep pace with General Fund expenditures.
1 The 2019 NRPA Agency Performance Review presents the data and key insights from 1,075 parks and
recreation agencies collected by survey. This report can be read here https://www.nrpa.org/publications-
research/research-papers/agency-performance-review/ and is attached as an Appendix to this plan.

a Beginning in 2017, the Parks and Recreation Department began to transfer $160,000 from its general fund
budget to Fund 309 Parks Capital Projects.
b These funds account for the equipment rental and replacement in the CenterPlace kitchen.
4.3.2 Department Revenues
Aside from local taxes (property tax, retail sales and use tax, excise tax), the Parks and
Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreational programs, which offset direct
costs related to providing the program. In addition, fees are charged for the use of various
rooms within CenterPlace and the rental of park spaces. These fees supplement the Parks
and Recreation Department budget and are not considered enterprise funds.
In 2018, the City generated $725,945 through parks, recreation and aquatic program fees,
which includes through facility rentals - such as CenterPlace, and program fees - such as
aquatics and recreation. When compared to the total Parks and Recreation budget,
Page 125
revenues from Parks and Recreation services account for approximately 23 percent of the
total operating budget.
One means of analyzing revenue production is to compare operating costs on a per capita
basis. The gross cost per capita is the total cost of the services divided by the number of
persons in the service area. However, this is not necessarily the true cost to the taxpayer
because it does not reflect the net cost after revenue is deducted. Table 4-3 shows the cost
per capita for the Parks and Recreation system.

4.4 Maintenance Operations
Spokane Valley contracts out the maintenance of its park facilities. In 2018, the City spent
approximately $886,536 for the parks maintenance, which equates to approximately
$3,690 per acre park land.
4.5 Recreation Programs
The City offers a number of recreation programs including: summer day camp; summer
park program; winter camp; sports programs for preschool age and older, adult dance
programs; and special events, such as Breakfast with Santa and Movies in the Park. In 2018,
there were approximately 57,277 participants in the programs offered. The majority of
participants, 40,464, were recreation swim participants, that is, people who paid for
recreational swim time at one of the three pools.

Chapter 5.0: Needs Assessment
This chapter discusses the need for parks, facilities and other recreational services within
the City. It contains a summary of the stakeholder interviews, public workshops and other
public engagement processes. This update presents a current needs assessment based on
the findings of the public process.
5.1 Stakeholder Interviews
The update process started with several one-on-one interviews with a variety of
stakeholders and interest groups in Spokane Valley. Specific stakeholder groups included
school districts, trails groups, Spokane River Forum, private recreation program providers,
hoteliers, Spokane Valley Arts Council, Spokane County and City staff.
The following key findings emerged from the stakeholder interviews:
• Partnership - The City Parks and Recreation Department maintains an excellent
relationship with schools, the county and private sports program providers. The
Department should continue these mutually beneficial relationships.
• Schools - School property, both gymnasiums and athletic fields, provide
opportunities for both formal (sports programs such as baseball) and informal
(enjoyment by neighbors). However, these sites are not always available for the
general public. The City should work toward developing joint use agreements with
the schools.
• Recreation Programs - The City's recreation program fills a niche, but
opportunities exist for expanded offerings.
• Spokane River - The Spokane River is an asset to the community and while there
are a number of access locations, additional access should be considered to realize
the full potential. Consideration for increased connectivity between parks via the
river and water trail is important.
• Neighborhood Parks - Providing park access to neighborhood kids should be the
Parks Department's "highest calling." Ensuring that all areas of the community have
park land accessible should be an important priority.
• Economic Development - Access to parks or trails provides development and
investment incentives, and most people like to live and/or work near parks. The City
should continue its efforts to support tourism, such as improvements at
CenterPlace, Balfour Park expansion and the recent Browns Park improvements.
The City should consider taking advantage of sports related tourism with
tournament quality facilities such as artificial turf and lighting.
• Facility Types - Generally, the type of facilities available are adequate. However,
some facilities such as the horse arena at Valley Mission Park are under -used and
1 27
some modern facility types such as skate parks and bicycle pump tracks are desired.
The City should consider new modern facility types and perhaps repurposing older
facility types.
• Acquisition - As the City becomes more urban, there will be an increased need for
park land especially to underserved areas. The amount of park land available is
inadequate to meet present and future needs, especially as it relates to open space
and athletic fields.
5.2 Public Workshops
As part of the update process, the City conducted a two public workshops at CenterPlace.
The first workshop focused on goal and policy development and the second workshop
asked participants to focus on specific demands and needs for the parks and recreation
system.
Key Findings on Public Engagement
The key findings, listed in no particular order, from the various public outreach activities
and public workshops, include:
• Residents desire more park land that is equitably and conveniently located
throughout the city.
• New park land should take advantage of vacant land or partner with school districts.
• The Parks and Recreation Department budget is not adequate to meet the needs and
desires of residents.
• Parks and recreational opportunities need to be available for users of all abilities,
including ADA.
• Replace the horse arena at Valley Mission Park with a bicycle pump track, skate park
or both.
• Community events are important and should be continued and expanded when
possible.
• Splash pads have a high user value and efforts should be made to include them in
parks.
• Restrooms need to be well maintained and upgraded or improved in older facilities.
• Take advantage of existing unimproved trails along the northern bank of the
Spokane River by providing signage.
5.2.1 Goals and Policy Workshop
On Wednesday, May 15, 2019, approximately 27 individuals, including staff attended the
first public workshop to update the 2013 Plan. This first public meeting followed a series of
stakeholder interviews and was the first public workshop for the 2019 Plan. The meeting
was held at CenterPlace and was advertised as a Special Meeting by the City Council.
Following a presentation by Parks and Recreation staff providing context as to why the City
is updating its Parks and Recreation Master Plan, table groups were asked to participate in
two exercises to help give input for the plan goals and policies. This paper summarizes the
results of those exercises.
1 28
Exercise 1: Choosing Favorites
In the first exercise, participant groups were asked to identify things they liked about the
City of Spokane Valley Parks and things they liked about parks generally or they have
experienced elsewhere. This was an open-ended discussion that asked participants to
converse amongst each other and begin to think about what parks mean to them. The
images below, known as a word cloud, summarize the results of the first exercise. A word
cloud identifies the frequency of a words by displaying high frequency words in larger -
sized text and less frequent words in smaller -sized text.

Exercise 2: Gap Analysis
In the second exercise, participants were asked to consider 11 policy statements related to
parks and recreation. Participants were asked to evaluate how well each policy statement
is being done today and how well they would like the statement to be in the future. Groups
were then asked to compare the existing to future status. The interval from existing to
future was identified as the "Gap" value. A high "Gap" value indicates that a significant
amount of change is needed to move from the current status to desired future conditions.
After identifying the "Gap" for each policy statement, groups were asked to apply a relative
priority to each of the policy statements by assigning a "Weight" value to each statement.
Groups were given a total budget of 22 units which they were permitted to allocate
however the table saw fit, provided the total for all 11 statements did not exceed 22.
The table below combines the gap values and the weighted values to show a weighted gap.
A high -weighted gap indicates a policy that needs the most change and was considered
important to the groups.

5.2.2 Demands and Needs Workshop
As part of the Demands and Needs Workshop, the City held engagement activities at three
parks during the City's Free Summer Park Program from June 17-19, 2019. A formal public
workshop on June 20, 2019 was held at CenterPlace where in addition to specific facility
improvement questions, participants were asked to identify potential locations for new
park land.
Exercise 1: Facility Improvements
In the first exercise, participants were given a limited budget of dots to "spend" across
various facility improvements across a select set of parks. The cost of facility improvements
were in order of magnitude relative to each other; for example, a restroom replacement
cost three dots and a basketball court cost two dots. Participants were not given enough
dots to "pay for" all the improvements listed, and thus, were forced to make priority
investments. The charts below summarize the results of the improvement exercise for all
events.

Exercise 2: Park System Needs
In the second exercise, participants were asked to identify locations for new parks. Each
table was provided a large format map that identified all school district -owned property,
existing and proposed bike and sidewalk paths, low and moderate income census blocks,
existing city -owned land and vacant property of at least five acres.
Each table, as a group, were asked to spend two green dots. A green dot represented one
new neighborhood park of about five acres. Participants needed to use both green dots for
a five -acre park, if the park was not located on vacant property. Tables could also exchange
one green dot for two yellow dots, if the park was located jointly on school district
property. Participants were asked to consider the following park land needs in their
exercise:
• Is there a park within a 1/2 mile?
• Can you easily and safely walk or bike to the facility?
o Are there barriers: I-90, river, major arterials?
• Is there an elementary school within a 1/2 mile?
• Are other recreational opportunities such as Centennial Trail or Dishman Hills
nearby?
• The minimum size of a neighborhood park is five acres.
• Is the property vacant?
• Is the area identified as low to moderate income?

5.3 Summary of Park Land Needs
This section provides the Needs Assessment for the City. It provides the information
necessary to make informed decisions on how many acres of parks and numbers of
facilities are needed to meet current and future needs. These needs are based on the vision
set forth by the community and the demand for recreational opportunities, as measured in
various public involvement venues. However, not all needs can be or should be provided by
the City. Some community needs can be met by other agencies, schools, the County, private
organizations, and public service organizations such as the YMCA. The community needs
identified in this chapter were used to develop recommendations for the park system
presented in Chapter 6.
53.1 Methodology
Developing a statement of needs for parks and open space areas depends on localized
values, availability of land, financial resources, and desired service levels. To determine
specific park land needs for the Spokane Valley Planning Area, several analytical methods
were used. These include:
• Recreational demands (measured through public involvement activities)
• National trends and standards
Page 134
• Land availability
• Geographic deficiencies for parks and open space areas
• Adopted level of service
In synthesizing this information, the adopted level of service standard is the main driver for
determining how much park land the City will need in the future, and the other
components help determine what types of park facilities are desired, available, and needed.
Using the adopted level of service in the City's Comprehensive Plan, the analysis
determined the amount of park land needed in 2037. The year 2037 was chosen because it
represents the adopted population projection in the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan.
The analysis then established a demand need for park types; the demand need is expressed
as a percentage of the overall need for park land. The percentage of park land devoted to a
park type was determined based on local conditions, national trends, and land availability.
5.3.2 Adopted Level of Service Standards
The City's Comprehensive Plan adopts 1.92 acres per 1,000 residents as the minimum level
of service for parks. This plan proposes to increase the level of service to 3.25 acres per
1,000 residents.
The following service areas were used to help calculate park needs:
• Neighborhood Parks - Service area of half -mile radius
• Community Parks - Service area of two-mile radius
• Special Use Area - No service area recommended as people will generally travel as
far as needed to use the facilities
• Large Urban Park - Within 30 minutes by personal vehicle for cities of 25,000 to
250,000
• Natural Open Space - No service area recommended
Figure 5-G shows the service areas for the existing Neighborhood and Community Parks as
identified above. For those park lands that do not have a recommended service area:
Special Use, Large Urban Park, and Natural Open Space, only the names and location are
provided.

5.3.3 Summary of Park Land Needs
Table 5-2 shows that the City of Spokane Valley will need an additional 117 acres of park
land by 2037 to accommodate projected population at the level of service (LOS) standard
of 3.25 acres per 1,000 people. The following terms are used in the analysis:
• Adopted LOS is the level of service standard adopted by the City for park land. It is
expressed as a ratio of acres per 1,000 people.
• 2037 Project Population is the adopted population projection found in the City's
Comprehensive Plan.
• Total Need (year 2037) is the number of acres of park land that will be needed to
serve the City's residents in 2037. It is determined by multiplying the adopted LOS
by the quotient of the projected population divided by 1,000.
• Existing Park Land is the total designated park land with the City and includes
undeveloped park land but does not include park land or open spaces owned by
other agencies.
• Net Need (year 2037) is the amount of park acres that will be needed at build -out
after subtracting the existing park land.

The analysis of park land need shows that the city needs an additional 117 acres of park
land. Table 5-2 shows a need of 117 acres park land to meet future needs. Table 5-3 shows
how the needed acreage could be allocated to various park types based on existing ratios;
however, other factors such as area, location, and funding would play a deciding factor in
determining what park type would be developed. To state this simply, the city will use the
ratios as a guide but will take advantage of opportunities as they arise.

5.4 Summary of Recreational Facility Needs
The City has limited field space to program sports activities. Residents of the City rely on
the sports programming from Spokane County or the City of Spokane. Spokane County runs
the largest adult softball league in the County with 285 teams (2018), down from 400
teams participating in 2012. Spokane County has been experiencing the same declining
and/or flat trend in participation rates for team sports (softball/baseball) as national
trends2.
This plan recognizes that the City is not the prime provider of field space within the region,
and provides a supporting role with its limited facilities. The plan also recognizes the
importance and value of the regional partnerships with Spokane County and the three
school districts within the City.
According to Spokane County's parks plan, Spokane County may pursue satisfying much of
the current demand for softball fields through the renovation of Plante's Ferry Sports
Complex. The renovation of Plante's Ferry Sports Complex would include synthetic turf
infields, lights, and re -grading increasing the potential hours of use. Spokane County
doesn't foresee constructing any additional softball fields beyond the renovation of Plante's
Ferry Sports Complex over the next six years.
5.5 Other Facility and Program Needs
Currently, the City does not have some of the recreational resources found in many
communities such as recreation centers, indoor aquatic facilities, teen centers, arts centers,
and a comprehensive range of recreational programs. The development of these types of
facilities and services will generate more interest and participation in recreational
activities.

Chapter 6.0: Recommendations
This chapter provides recommendations for developing and managing a parks and
recreation program in the City of Spokane Valley. These recommendations were developed
from staff input, public input, and a comprehensive analysis of park land conditions and
current maintenance operations. Individual recommendations are subject to further study
and final budget and policy approval by the City Council.
6.1 Park Plan Concept
Spokane Valley inherited its park system from Spokane County. That system consists of
neighborhood parks, community parks, special use areas, and larger day -use parks. The
ideal park system for the City should be one made up of a hierarchy of various park types,
each offering certain types of recreational and/or open space opportunities. Separately,
each park type may serve a primary function, but collectively, they will meet the needs of
the entire community. By recognizing this concept, the City can develop an efficient, cost
effective, and comprehensive park system.
The basic concept of the park system for the City is to provide park and open space areas
within convenient walking distance of most neighborhoods. This plan also suggests
recreational resources like skate parks, bicycle pump tracks, splash pads, and disc golf be
added to parks.
Figure 6-A identifies the general areas where additional parks should be located.
Generalized areas for park sites were used because the majority of the community is
already developed making specific site location challenging. Acquiring and developing park
land will continue to be a challenge in the future. The focus should be in the areas identified
in Figure 6-A. To achieve its goal of acquiring park land, the City should consider the
following:
• Formalize partnerships with the school districts to provide playground and park
amenities that can be available to residents during non -school hours. Depending
upon the level of development proposed, the concept may mean that the City would
assist in funding improvements and maintenance of the outdoor play areas.
• Be aggressive in pursuing the acquisition of park land as the availability of
undeveloped property continues to shrink.
• Continue to seek grants, private land donations, property swaps, or partnerships
with other state and regional entities.
The Park Layout Plan is a graphic representation of the proposed park system for Spokane
Valley. Figure 6-A illustrates the conceptual location proposed park sites, river access sites,
and the location of existing facilities. The map does not pinpoint specific locations for
future parks. Some important notes about the layout plan include:
1 39
1. The final location of park sites would be determined later in the development of City
plans and would be influenced by land availability, acquisition costs, and property
ownership.
2. The proposed river access points are derived from the draft Shoreline Master
Program. For precise location and description of river access, please see the SMP.
3. The proposed and existing trails are identified in the Spokane Valley Comprehensive
Plan Bikeway Network map.

6.3 New Parks
The new park areas listed below are not in any particular order. The acquisition and
development of new parks is highly dependent of funding sources, timing, and opportunity.
The areas identified are based on the public process conducted for this plan.
New Park Area 1
1"""111•11111K Al11111
Property acquisition and development for a new park north of Trent between Evergreen
Road and Sullivan Road. Because very little undeveloped and available land exists in this
area, additional recreation facilities could be added to the existing school facilities. A
school/park could be developed at East Valley Middle School or East Valley High School.
New Park Area 2
Property acquisition and development for a new park south of Appleway Trail between
Pines Road and Sullivan Road.
New Park Area 3
111 9.9
Property acquisition and development for a park south of 32nd Avenue, north of 44th
Avenue between Bowdish Road and Schafer Road. Castle Park currently exists in a mostly
undeveloped state, but both the Union Pacific Railroad and Dishman Mica Road present a
significant bicycle and pedestrian barrier. This area needs careful consideration to ensure
the new park or improved park is accessible to neighborhood residents.
New Park Area 4
Property acquisition and development for a new park between 8th and 16th Avenues and
between Dishman Mica Road and University Road. This area contains an inaccessible city -
owned property that could form a piece of a neighborhood park.
New Park Area 5
Property acquisition and development for a new park around Park Road Pool. Because very
little undeveloped and available land exists in this area, additional recreational facilities
could be added to the existing school facilities. A school/park could be developed at
Centennial Middle School in conjunction with Park Road Pool.
New Park Area 6
Property acquisition and development for a park on the north bank of the Spokane River
from Sullivan Road to Barker Road. The area may be included as part of a trail system from
Plante's Ferry Park, providing a safe and scenic mode of transportation along the Spokane
River Corridor.

6.3.1 Trail Plan Recommendations
The City has integrated its trail planning into the City's adopted Comprehensive Plan and
Transportation Improvement Program. The proposed shared use paths and connections
can be found in the Transportation Element. New trail recommendations will be
considered in future Comprehensive Plan amendments.
6.4 Recreation Programs and Services Recommendations
• Offer sustained, year-round programs to both youths and adults.
• Seek 100 percent cost recovery based on direct costs, but explore new program
offerings without expecting them to be immediately self-supporting.
• Support the development and expansion of tourism -related activities and events on
park property.
• Continue participation in the agreement with the Spokane Valley Senior Citizens
Association to support their programming.
• Seek partnership opportunities to initiate a youth and teen program with the Boys
and Girls Club to manage a program.
• Continue providing arts, drama and dancing programs by using existing City -owned
and operated spaces.
6.5 Administration and Management Recommendations
• Encourage special events that attract large numbers of participants and promote
City services.
• Publish articles in the City newsletter and other forums promoting the benefits of
parks and recreation.
• Use social medial and other avenues to advertise special events and programs in the
media.
• Update and develop promotional and informational brochures and display
materials.
• Update and prepare a marketing plan for park events and programming.
• Continue to seek partnerships with other providers, especially school districts to
help meet the needs and distribute the responsibilities and costs.
• Update private user leases for Evergreen Region Volleyball Association, Radio -
Controlled Car Club of Spokane, Western Dance Association, and Splashdown.
• Seek grants to implement identified parks and recreation recommendations.
6.6 Maintenance Recommendations
• Dedicate time and resources to check on the work being performed.
• Continue to incorporate into the contract requirements for minimum standards by
which park maintenance personnel will interact with the public.
• Establish a maintenance funding goal calculated on a per acre basis and define
minimum maintenance service levels.
• Develop an integrated pest management plan to define use of herbicides and
pesticides in parks and open space areas.
• Develop a schedule to assess the replacement and upgrade needs for all parks and
facilities.
1 55
6.7 River Access Recommendations
• Increase access to the Spokane River.
o In considering development near the Spokane River or any body of water,
reference shall be made to the Shoreline Master Program.
• Work with the Economic Development Division to identify potential acquisition
sites adjacent to the Spokane River.

Chapter 7.0: Implementation
This chapter takes the recommendations and needs and identifies a funding strategy for
implementation. This chapter should be reviewed annually to identify potential park
improvement projects.
7.1 Recommended Capital Projects
The projects below identify a number of improvements throughout the City's park system.
The projects achieve the goals and objectives of this plan, and are anticipated to be funded
through two major sources: the General Fund and Recreation Conservation Office (RCO)
grants. Additional funding for tourism -related projects will use lodging tax dollars collected
by the City. Other funding opportunities may arise and the City plans to take advantage of
those opportunities as they present themselves.

7.2 Cost Estimates for New Parks
Development costs can vary widely depending on the location, facility type, construction
method, off-site costs, quality of development, and other constraints on the project. For
purposes of estimating cost, the following assumptions were made:
• Land Acquisition: Land prices were estimated at $65,000 per acre. In some areas of
the City, land acquisition could exceed this amount.
• Construction Costs: Potential costs were established for each element of park
development for each park site. These costs excluded street improvements and any
other off-site costs. For typical neighborhood and community parks, an assumption
of $650,000 per acre was used.
• School Park Improvements: An estimated cost of $250,000 per site was used.
• Design: The figures assume a project designed by a professional design firm and bid
through a competitive public bidding process. Design costs were estimated at 10
percent of construction cost.
• Contingency: A contingency of 15 percent was used.
7.3 Financing Strategy and Capital Improvement Plan
The projects below fall outside the six-year capital improvement program for parks (see
Table 7-1). The projects may not have a funding source identified, nor may they have a
targeted timeline. It is intended that the projects in Table 7-2 would be moved into the
Capital Improvement Project list as opportunity and funding arise.
Table 7-2 summarizes the recommended projects and funding sources for the 2014-2019
planning period.

7.4 Funding Sources
The following are possible funding sources for acquiring, developing, and maintaining
parks and other recreational areas in the City:
General Fund
This is the City's primary source for operating revenue. Most of this revenue
comes from taxes levied on property and the sale of merchandise within the
City's boundary. This fund provides the majority of revenue for park
improvements.
Recreation Program
Fees
CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation
programs. These fees offset direct costs related to providing the program.
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace.
Uses include regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental
rooms include classrooms, meeting rooms, Great Room, Dining Room,
Fireside Lounge, auditorium, and banquet facilities.
Real Estate Excise Tax
(REET)
Both sources of REET funding (REET 1 and REET 2) can be used for park
capital improvement projects, including park development.
Motor Vehicle Excise
Tax
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax
at the pump. Of this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to
cities on a per capita basis. A portion 0.42 percent is used for paths and
trails. It is anticipated that this fund will generate $8,800 in 2019.
Hotel/Motel Tax
Tourism Facilities
The City imposes a 1.3% tax on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging
at hotels, motels, and similar establishments. The revenues generated may
only be used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making
improvements to or other related capital expenditures for large sporting
venues, or venues for tourism -related facilities.
Hotel/Motel Tax
The City imposes a 2% tax on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging
at hotels, motels, and similar establishments. The tax is taken as a credit
against the 6.5% state sales tax. The revenues generated by this tax may be
used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or
operation of tourism -related facilities.
Bonds
The city has the authority to borrow money by selling bonds for land
acquisition, renovations, expansions, or construction of facilities. There are
three types of bonds: voter -approved general obligation bonds; limited tax
general obligation bonds; and revenue bonds.
General Obligation
Bonds
General obligation bonds (also called voted debt) must be approved by 60%
of the voters, with a voter turnout equal to at least 40% of those who voted
in the most recent general election. When the voters are being asked to
approve the issuance of these bonds, they are simultaneously asked to
approve an excess levy which raises their property taxes to cover the debt
service payments. These bonds can only be used for capital improvements.
Limited Tax General
Obligation (LTGO)
Bonds
Limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds (also called "councilmanic"
bonds or non -voted debt), may be issued by a vote of the legislative body.
LTGO debt does not provide any additional revenue to fund debt service
payments and must be paid from existing revenue sources.
1 64
Park Impact Fees
Park Impact Fees are fees imposed on new development because of the
impacts the projects have on the City's infrastructure. While common in
many Washington cities, Spokane Valley does not impose this fee.
Conservation Futures
Funding
Conservation Futures funding is a Spokane County program that can be used
for the acquisition of property and development rights to benefit wildlife,
conserve natural resources, and increase passive recreational and
educational opportunities. Typically, city parks do not meet the threshold
requirements of the funding program because they are not left natural.
However, maintaining and protecting the City's natural open spaces may
qualify for Conservation Futures funding.
Grant Programs
Washington State
Recreation and
Conservation Office
(RCO) Grants
The RCO Funding Board combines funds from several federal and state
sources to distribute in the form of grants to eligible application sponsors for
outdoor recreation and conservation projects. The amount of money
available varies from year-to-year depending on the Washington State
budget. Grants are awarded to state and local agencies through a highly
competitive process that often requires local matching funds.
RCO -
Land and Water
Conservation Fund
(LWCF)
The LWCF is a federal program that provides grants to acquire or develop
public lands for outdoor recreation. Each state may submit two proposals for
national competition. A grant applicant must contribute a match that equals
the amount of the grant request. This is called providing a 50 percent
matching share.
RCO-
Youth Athletic
Facilities (YAF)
The YAF is a grant program that provides money to buy land and develop or
renovate outdoor athletic facilities such as ball fields, courts, swimming
pools, BMX tracks, and skate parks that serve youth. It excludes:
playgrounds, tot lots, vacant lots, and open or undeveloped fields. A grant
applicant must contribute a match that equals the amount of the grant
request. This is called providing a 50 percent matching share.
RCO -
Aquatic Lands
Enhancement
Account (ALEA)
The ALEA grant program is for the acquisition, improvement, or protection of
aquatic lands for public purposes. They also may be used to provide or
improve public access to the waterfront. A grant applicant must contribute a
match that equals the amount of the grant request. This is called providing a
50 percent matching share.
RCO -
Washington Wildlife
and Recreation
Program (WWRP)
WWRP provides funding for a broad range of projects that conserve wildlife
habitat, forestland, and farmland; buys land for parks and trails; and
develops outdoor recreational facilities. WWRP funding is allocated into
three accounts: Farm and Forest, Habitat Conservation, and Outdoor
Recreation Account. The accounts are divided further into categories with
unique funding priorities. A grant applicant must contribute a match that
equals the amount of the grant request. This is called providing a 50 percent
matching share.
1 65
Community These grants from the Federal Department of Housing and Urban
Development Block Development are available for a wide variety of projects. They are
Grants distributed in the lower income areas of the community.
Other Potential
Sources
Partnerships
The City is in a unique position to develop additional partnerships with other
jurisdictions, school districts, or agencies to implement park projects. Some
potential partners include the YMCA, Boys and Girls Club, private sport and
conservation groups, neighborhood organizations, school districts, Spokane
County, and the City of Spokane.
Joint Public/Private This is when the City enters into a working agreement with a private
Partnership corporation to help fund, build, and/or operate a public facility.
Private Grants and
Foundations
Private grants and foundations provide money for a wide range of projects.
They are sometimes difficult to find and equally difficult to secure because of
the open competition. They usually fund unique projects or ones
demonstrating extreme need.
Lifetime Estates
This is an agreement between a City and a landowner, where the City gives
the former owner the right to live on the site after it is sold until such time as
the former owner either moves off the property or passes away.
Donations
Donations of labor, land, or cash by service agencies, private groups, or
individuals are ways to raise small amounts of money or receive land. Service
agencies such as Kiwanis, Lions, and Rotary Clubs often fund small projects
such as playground improvements.

Comprehensive Parks and Recreation Plan
City of Spokane Valley
Spokane Valley, Washington
Park Facility Inventory
July 31, 2019
This assessment is based on a tour of the individual
parks and conversations with Parks staff. It is intended
to provide an overview of the existing facilities and
conditions in Spokane Valley Parks. Conditions
considered include:
• Overall Condition
Excellent, Good, Average, or Poor based
on: plant material, vandalism, ADA
access, field and court conditions, and
playgrounds.
• Playgrounds
• Pools/Splash Pads
• Fields and Athletic Facilities
• Support Facilities
• Parking and Access
• Irrigation Systems
Major Issues:
Safety: There are several issues related to safety that were
identified during the on-site review of parks.
1. Lighting: Lighting in the parks is not consistent in
application and location. Many parking lots lack
lighting or have insufficient lighting to provide
visibility for law enforcement.
2. Play equipment: Many parks have play equipment
and park furniture that is reaching an age
requiring specific maintenance, replacement of
wood components or replacement of the structure.
Use of wood components on play structures,
benches and safety surfacing containment borders
requires an annual commitment for review,
maintenance and replacement when necessary.
3. Fencing: Many parks have sections of chain-link
fence that have been damaged by vehicles,
maintenance equipment and heavy use. Some of
this damage poses a potential safety hazard when
located adjacent to a play field.
4. Concrete and asphalt repair: Review, identification
and repair of broken, cracked and displaced
concrete and asphalt should be integrated in long
term maintenance programs.
Accessibility: Lack of ADA access is a primary concern for Spokane
Valley Parks. In many parks, sidewalks are not provided
to all or some of the park amenities from parking areas.

In addition, a number of playgrounds do not provide
accessible routes, ramps or transfer stations.
Maintenance: Ongoing preventative and corrective maintenance is
always a challenge for park departments. Primary
maintenance issues include damaged fencing, damaged
signage and damaged paving surfaces. Vandalism is also
a recognized challenge in many parks. Some parks
have inadequate irrigation systems. These should be
assessed to determine if changes in irrigation scheduling
or adjustment of equipment can solve issues.
Maintenance issues should be addressed based on
priority determined by the severity of damage and
visibility by users.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2020 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment (CPA) Docket
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A
PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND:
The GMA allows local jurisdictions to consider amendments to their Comprehensive Plan once each year.
The City codified this process in Section 17.80.140 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC).
Consistent with state law and the SVMC, staff published notice on August 23 and 30, 2019 advising the
public of the annual amendment process and that the City would accept applications for the 2020 cycle
through October 31, 2019. The notice was also sent to all agencies, organizations and adjacent jurisdictions
that may have an interest in amending the comprehensive plan.
CPAs are divided into two categories — map amendments and text amendments (including charts, tables
and graphics). CPAs may be privately initiated or proposed by City Council, Planning Commission or
staff. This year, there are seven CPA applications; five are privately initiated map amendments, and two
are city initiated amendments. The City initiated amendments include one map amendment and one text
amendment.
As part of the annual comprehensive plan amendment cycle, the City Council is presented the proposed
amendments that may be considered for this year's amendment cycle. This process known as docketing,
provides the City Council the opportunity to remove items from the docket.
Tonight, staff will present and discuss the 2020 Comprehensive Plan Docket. Staff will return on November
19, 2019 with a motion consideration for Council to consider approval of the Docket. If City Council
decides to remove items from the docket, privately initiated amendments will be refunded their application
fees. Items included in the Docket will be considered for amendments to the Comprehensive Plan, which
includes review, public hearing and recommendations from the Planning Commission prior to the City
Council taking final action concerning the proposed amendments.
OPTIONS: Council consensus to proceed with the proposed 2020 Comprehensive Plan Docket as
presented or remove items, for motion consideration at the November 19, 2019 Council meeting; or take
other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council discretion

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Lodging Tax Advisory Committee - 2020 Recommended Grant
Allocations for Tourism Promotion
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State Law RCW 82.08, and Spokane Valley Municipal Code 3.20
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Thus far in 2019 for the 2020 awards, the Council has
had discussions pertaining to lodging tax on two previous occasions:
• July 16, 2019 where we discussed:
o Lodging tax in general — what it is and how it may be expended.
o The LTAC — what it is and its role in the process.
o The Council's role in the process
o Council goals and priorities for the LTAC.
• July 30, 2019 where Council discussed and reached consensus on the goals and priorities
that should be included in the lodging tax grant application and also communicated to the
LTAC.
BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City implemented a 2% hotel/motel tax, the proceeds of which are
used to promote conventions and tourist travel to our City. The organizations to which the tax
proceeds are distributed are ultimately determined by the City Council which receives a
recommendation from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC). The LTAC is comprised of
five members who are appointed by the City Council. The LTAC membership must include:
• At least two representatives of businesses that are required to collect the tax,
• At least two people who are involved in activities that are authorized to be funded by the tax,
and
• One elected city official who serves as chairperson of the LTAC.
The LTAC makes its recommendations based upon a combination of written application materials
and a presentation that is made to them by each applicant.
On October 17, 2019, the LTAC met to consider application materials and presentations from
applicants seeking a portion of the $795,000 appropriated in the City's 2020 Budget. After to
applicant presentations, the LTAC passed a motion that $450,000 be deducted from the available
Lodging Tax funds for distribution in 2020 and have those funds moved into the 1.3% Lodging
Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism facilities that generate
overnight guests and recommended that this motion be provided for the Council's approval. This
left $345,000 of the $795,000 available in the 2020 Budget to be recommended for awards to the
applicants. Also, the LTAC chose to allocate only $319,000 of the $345,000 available and leave
the excess remaining in the Fund to be available for award in future years.
Presentations were made by the HUB Sports Center, JAKT for Crave NW, JAKT for the farmer's
market, JAKT for Spokane Oktoberfest, Northwest Winterfest, Spokane County Fair and Expo
Center, Spokane Sports Commission, Valleyfest, Valleyfest Cycle Celebration, and Visit
Spokane. Following applicant presentations the LTAC discussed both the merits of making
particular awards to various applicants and how they felt revenues should be allocated.

Ultimately, the LTAC recommended the following awards be advanced to the City Council for
consideration:
1) HUB Sports Center
55,100
55,020
2) JAKT - Crave NW
38,000 18,600

531,100 319,000
Proposed Transfer to Fund #104 450,000
Total Awarded in 2020 Budget 769,000
At times some organizations apply for funding through both the Outside Agency and the Lodging
Tax award processes. JAKT, Northwest Winterfest, and Valleyfest all applied for Lodging Tax
Funding for 2020, as well as for 2020 Outside Agency funding, and were awarded $14,862, $0,
and $28,146, respectively, in Outside Agency funding at the October 22, 2019 Council meeting.
OPTIONS: The options for City Council action have been viewed as primarily being limited to
either (1) approving some or all of the listed recipients and amounts recommended by the LTAC
or (2) not approving any recipients and having the LTAC revise its recommendation for further
City Council action. However, under RCW 67.28.1817, a municipality may propose "a change in
the use of revenue received under [RCW 67.28]," but must submit the proposal to the LTAC for
review and comment. Then, the LTAC must be given at least 45 days to review and provide
comments prior to final action by the municipality. This allows the City Council to conduct its own
review of the materials submitted, including the minutes and recommended amounts by the LTAC,
to come up with its own proposed distribution of the revenue for any of the applicants, which may
be the same or different from the LTAC recommendation. If it is different, the City must give the
LTAC 45 days to review and provide comments on the proposed revised distribution before taking
final action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required at this time. This topic will come
back before the City Council on December 10, 2019, when a motion consideration will be
requested.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2020 Proposed Budget includes total revenues of
$656,000 including $650,000 of lodging taxes. Total expenditures are budgeted at $825,000
including $30,000 to offset advertising at CenterPlace and up to $795,000 to be allocated through
this award process. The $795,000 includes the $345,000 available for recommended awards by
the LTAC as well as $450,000 the LTAC recommended for the Council to deduct from the
available funds for the award distributions for 2020 and transfer that amount into the 1.3% Lodging

Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism facilities. Total
expenditures are expected to exceed total revenues by $169,000 and this will be offset through
the use of a portion of the fund balance. The fund balance at the conclusion of 2020 is expected
to be $163,929 which should be adequate to cover cash flow needs.

Chair Wood called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. and welcomed everyone, after which there were self -
introductions. Deputy City Attorney Lamb then went through his Open Public Government PowerPoint
training for Committee members and he explained various portions of the Public Records Act, and the Open
Public Meetings Act. At the conclusion of the training at 8:22 a.m., Chair Wood called for a recess. Chair
Wood reconvened the meeting at 8:30 a.m. and as there were new people in the room, committee members
went through re -introductions. The floor was then turned over to Finance Director Taylor.
Ms. Taylor briefly explained the history and background of Lodging Tax, the materials in the agenda packet,
and the process for allocating funds; she noted that for this session, we have more money available to award
then what was requested by applicants, but stressed that no applicant shall receive more funds then they
requested, although they can get less; she also noted there is a set aside amount of $30,000 for CenterPlace
to partially offset advertising and this is historic and is permitted; said subtracting the $30,000 leaves
$795,000 available for funding; and she went over the fund including the end balances and the calendar
showing the process leading to the award allocation, currently scheduled for the December 10, 2019 Council
meeting.
Presentations were made as follows:
1. HUB Sports Center — Mr. Phil Champlin
Mr. Champlin seeks $55,100 for recruiting events to the facility.
2. JAKT, CRAVE — Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $38,000 to assist infrastructure costs of conducting the event and a social media team
effort that includes photography and video assets and PR outreach in Seattle, Washington and Bend,
Oregon. Chair Wood asked Mr. Stebbins if he believes this event will become self-sufficient or will always
need to be subsidized by LTAC funds. Mr. Stebbins replied that he would prefer not to be here seeking
funds; said ticket sales are a huge part of this event and that he is heading into year four, and feels year six
will be questionable; said he thinks it won't go away completely but could get phased down, but it is difficult
to predict, adding that his numbers are transparent; said they are still running at a $20,000 deficit and hope
to be able next year to pay staff a little; said it is good for Spokane Valley to have this committed group
and that otherwise the event would not exist; said he doesn't see this event being self-sufficient for at least
two to three more years.
3. JAKT, Farmers Market — Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $18,000 to execute and follow their vision and mission statement by continuing the
Farmers Market at CenterPlace. Mr. Cameron asked how attendance is tracked and Mr. Stebbins explained
LTAC Minutes October 17, 2019 Page 1 of 3
that he walks the market every hour and does a clicker count. Mr. Cameron also asked about the status of
the City's economic development funds, and Mr. Stebbins said that decision will be made next week, but
those funds cannot be used for salary. Mr. Repetti thanked Mr. Stebbins for the positive experience and
said he thinks the challenge is how to make the market better; how to get the local business community
involved and said it is critical that the Chamber assists as increased exposure would be useful; he also said
the HUB sponsored the event. Mr. Stebbins said he and the Chamber have been working together very
closely to expand the exposure.
4. JAKT, Oktoberfest — Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $20,000 to assist in the infrastructure costs of conducting the event and ensure the
financial success and continuation of the event in Spokane Valley.
5. Northwest Winterfest — Mr. Sam Song, Ms. Charity Doyl
Mr. Song seeks $50,000 to create an annual premier winter festival at Mirabeau Meadows Parks starting
with the winter of 2020. Mr. Cameron stated that is the chair of their steering committee. Mr. Repetti asked
about parking and Mr. Song replied they can work with the businesses if needed to get a couple thousand
parking stalls, and said he does not anticipate conflicts; that he will also work with the Spokane Valley Mall
and STA for possible shuttle service. Mr. Cameron said this will dovetail on the shopping and hopefully
they will be able to draw from a large area for this event, as there is not much competition of this magnitude.
6. Spokane County Fair and Expo Center — Ms. Erin Gurtel and Rachelle Buchanan
Ms. Gurtel seeks $75,000 to market and advertise the Spokane County interstate fair and interim events to
an audience in the Spokane area and beyond.
Chair Wood asked if the committee would like to take a break or continue, and the decision was to continue.
7. Spokane Sports Commission — Jodi Kayler, Vice President of Marketing & Communications
Ms. Kayler seeks $50,000 to support sports tourism efforts by the Spokane Sports Commission in 2020.
Mr. Repetti said he represents the HUB and he asked what plans are there to include the HUB. Ms. Kayler
replied that the HUB is very important to the community and that they will continue to fill the HUB with
appropriate events that fit; said what they are looking at is national and international events, and said the
HUB doesn't have enough seating for that type of large venue.
8. Valleyfest — Peggy Doering, Stephanie Hughes
Ms. Doering seeks $150,000 to assist with marketing and advertising their event to the Inland Northwest
Region which includes North Idaho, Western Montana, and Eastern Washington. There was some
discussion between Mr. Cameron and Ms. Doering concerning Valleyfest generating room nights with Mr.
Cameron stating that while he supports the event, he also feels they should be self-supporting. Ms. Doering
said they do not track the hotels but they do conduct an exit survey and ask if people have travelled more
than 50 miles; said she is aware that people stay with relatives, and/or stay in hotels downtown, as well as
in Post Falls and other areas.
9. Cycle Celebration - Peggy Doering, Stephanie Hughes
Ms. Doering seeks $25,000 to assist in attracting a regional audience to visit and stay in Spokane Valley
the weekend of July 26, 2020 for the Cycle Celebration; including exploring the idea of having a bike ride
map to increase cycling in the valley. Mr. Brokaw asked if this event were brought in with Valleyfest,
would it make Valleyfest bigger. Ms. Hughes replied that she is not sure; said they have a committed cycle
celebration volunteer core group and are here asking on their behalf; said the cycle celebration is a very
successful event, and like the old adage, don't fix it if it's not broken. Mr. Brokaw asked how many riders
are from outside the area, and Ms. Hughes said about 20% are from out of town, with Ms. Doering adding
LTAC Minutes October 17, 2019 Page 2 of 3
that the projected 20 room nights is a conservative estimate. Ms. Doering also noted that most riders
participate in the 50 -mile bike ride, and to add another large event, would require more volunteers; she said
the cost to enter is $29 and includes lunch; and noted that it is a ride and not a race. Ms. Hughes said some
of the ride is on the Centennial Trail, and that no races are allowed on that Trail.
10. Visit Spokane —Meg Winchester, Jamie Rand
Ms. Winchester seeks $50,000 to assist in their marketing program which will position the City as a
distinctive community worthy of the trip; and that their promotions will generate visitor spending through
the city at restaurants, stores, hotels, and events throughout the year. Mr. Cameron said he has attended
some marketing sessions about Ms. Winchester's and her staff's vision, and said on behalf of the hotels he
represents, they are very pleased with the focus and attention and detail in tracking the market. Mr. Repetti
said he sits on the Visit Spokane board and their new tracking software is incredible, and said he encourages
working closely with Visit Spokane.
In anticipation of the LTAC members going into a short recess, Ms. Taylor reminded everyone not to
discuss the allocations except at the dais during the open meeting. Chair Wood called for a recess at 10:25
a.m.; he reconvened the meeting at 10:35 a.m. and asked if there were any motions.
Mr. Cameron said that based on goals to further review the studies currently being conducted by the City
to identify a major capital project and operating expenditures to facilitate a major sports facility to be built
in the City of Spokane Valley, targeted to increase overnight visitors in Spokane Valley, he moved that
$495,000 be deducted from the available lodging tax funds in 2020 and moved into the 1.3% account fund
dedicated for a large sporting venue that generates overnight guests; which leaves remaining $300, 000;
and to allocate any remaining funds not distributed or recommended at this meeting, to be held in the fund
balance for LTAC to be distributed in the future, and recommend final approval by the City Council. The
motion was seconded by Mr. Repetti who stated that he supports moving significant dollars into the fund;
and that he would support what is being recommended today. Mr. Cameron called for the question, but
there was no second and discussion continued. After further discussion about the $495,000; it was moved
by Ms. Heinselman and seconded to amend the motion by changing the amount from $495,000 to $450,000.
Vote by a show of hands was unanimous in favor of the amended motion. The fully amended motion was
then voted upon by a show of hands with all members voting in favor. Members of the LTAC then took a
few moments to complete their spreadsheets for their recommendations.
Finance Director Taylor entered the recommended allocations into a master spreadsheet and the floor was
open for discussion. There was general discussion about the recommended amounts, and Mr. Brokaw
mentioned that he initially did not recommend any funds to the Sports Commission based on what occurred
in the previous year. After it was explained that the amount was not from the LTAC but rather was the
Council's recommendation, Mr. Brokaw changed his amount for the Sports Commission to $50,000. LTAC
members then announced they were each comfortable with the allocation averages as presented. It was
then moved by Mr. Cameron and seconded to accept the recommended allocations as presented; i.e. (1)
HUB $55, 020; (2) JAKT CRAVE $18, 600; (3) JAKT Farmers Market $8, 000; (4) JAKT Oktoberfest $8, 400;
(5) NW Winterfest $48, 000; (6) Spokane County Fair and Expo Center $66, 000; (7) Spokane Sports
Commission $45,000; (8) Valleyfest $18,600; (9) Valleyfest Cycle Celebration $1,380; and (10) Visit
Spokane $50,000; total recommended allocations $319,000.
It was moved by Mr. Cameron, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at
11:05 a.m.
Respectfully submitted,
Christine Bainbridge, Spokane Valley City Clerk

LODGING TAX ADVISORY COMMITTEE MEETING
October 17, 2019 8:00 a.m.
Spokane Valley City Hall Council Chambers
10210 East Sprague Avenue
Attendance:
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Members:
Chair: Councilmember Sam Woad
Lee Cameron, Mirabeau Park Hotel
Colleen Heinselman, Hampton Inn Suites
Wayne Brokaw, Spokane County Fair Board
Gregory Repetti, The HUB
Staff:
Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Sarah Farr, Accounting Technician
Erik Lamb, Deputy City Attorney
Mike Stone, Parks & Recreation Director
Tina Gregerson, Recreation Coordinator
Christine Bainbridge, City Clerk
Chair Wood called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. and welcomed everyone, after which there were self -
introductions. Deputy City Attorney Lamb then went through his Open Public Government PowerPoint
training for Committee members and he explained various portions of the Public Records Act, and the Open
Public Meetings Act. At the conclusion of the training at 8:22 a.m., Chair Wood called for a recess. Chair
Wood reconvened the meeting at 8:30 a.m. and as there were new people in the room, committee members
went through re -introductions. The floor was then turned over to Finance Director Taylor.
Ms. Taylor briefly explained the history and background of Lodging Tax, the materials in the agenda packet,
and the process for allocating funds; she noted that for this session, we have more money available to award
then what was requested by applicants, but stressed that no applicant shall receive more funds then they
requested, although they can get less; she also noted there is a set aside amount of $30,000 for CenterPlace
to partially offset advertising and this is historic and is permitted; said subtracting the $30,000 leaves
$795,000 available for funding; and she went over the fund including the end balances and the calendar
showing the process leading to the award allocation, currently scheduled for the December 10, 2019 Council
meeting.
Presentations were made as follows:
1. HUB Sports Center — Mr. Phil Champlin
Mr. Champlin seeks $55,100 for recruiting events to the facility.
2. JAKT, CRAVE — Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $3 8,000 to assist infrastructure costs of conducting the event and a social media team
effort that includes photography and video assets and PR outreach in Seattle, Washington and Bend,
Oregon. Chair Wood asked Mr. Stebbins if he believes this event will become self-sufficient or will always
need to be subsidized by LTAC funds. Mr. Stebbins replied that he would prefer not to be here seeking
funds; said ticket sales are a huge part of this event and that he is heading into year four, and feels year six
will be questionable; said he thinks it won't go away completely but could get phased down, but it is difficult
to predict, adding that his numbers are transparent; said they are still running at a $20,000 deficit and hope
to be able next year to pay staff a little; said it is good for Spokane Valley to have this committed group
and that otherwise the event would not exist; said he doesn't see this event being self-sufficient for at least
two to three more years.
3. JAKT, Farmers Market -- Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $18,000 to execute and follow their vision and mission statement by continuing the
Farmers Market at CenterPlace. Mr. Cameron asked how attendance is tracked and Mr. Stebbins explained
m A r, l !'.. _ _a - _ ll _L_l_ ___ 111 .lfl 1 Il
Pia 1 of
that he walks the market every hour and does a clicker count. Mr. Cameron also asked about the status of
the City's economic development funds, and Mr. Stebbins said that decision will be made next week, but
those funds cannot be used for salary. Mr. Repetti thanked Mr. Stebbins for the positive experience and
said he thinks the challenge is how to make the market better; how to get the local business community
involved and said it is critical that the Chamber assists as increased exposure would be useful; he also said
the HUB sponsored the event. Mr. Stebbins said he and the Chamber have been working together very
closely to expand the exposure.
4. JAKT, Oktoberfest — Mr. Tom Stebbins
Mr. Stebbins seeks $20,000 to assist in the infrastructure costs of conducting the event and ensure the
financial success and continuation of the event in Spokane Valley.
5. Northwest Winterfest — Mr. Sam Song, Ms. Charity Doyl
Mr. Song seeks $50,000 to create an annual premier winter festival at Mirabeau Meadows Parks starting
with the winter of 2020. Mr. Cameron stated that is the chair of their steering committee. Mr. Repetti asked
about parking and Mr. Song replied they can work with the businesses if needed to get a couple thousand
parking stalls, and said he does not anticipate conflicts; that he will also work with the Spokane Valley Mall
and STA for possible shuttle service. Mr. Cameron said this will dovetail on the shopping and hopefully
they will be able to draw from a large area for this event, as there is not much competition of this magnitude.
6. Spokane County Fair and Expo Center — Ms. Erin Gurtel and Rachelle Buchanan
Ms. Gurtel seeks $75,000 to market and advertise the Spokane County interstate fair and interim events to
an audience in the Spokane area and beyond.
Chair Wood asked if the committee would like to take a break or continue, and the decision was to continue.
7. Spokane Sports Commission — Jodi Kayler, Vice President of Marketing & Communications
Ms. Kayler seeks $50,000 to support sports tourism efforts by the Spokane Sports Commission in 2020.
Mr. Repetti said he represents the HUB and he asked what plans are there to include the HUB. Ms. Kayler
replied that the HUB is very important to the community and that they will continue to fill the HUB with
appropriate events that fit; said what they are looking at is national and international events, and said the
HUB doesn't have enough seating for that type of large venue.
8. Valleyfest — Peggy Doering, Stephanie Hughes
Ms. Doering seeks $150,000 to assist with marketing and advertising their event to the Inland Northwest
Region which includes North Idaho, Western Montana, and Eastern Washington. There was some
discussion between Mr. Cameron and Ms. Doering concerning Valleyfest generating room nights with Mr.
Cameron stating that while he supports the event, he also feels they should be self-supporting. Ms. Doering
said they do not track the hotels but they do conduct an exit survey and ask if people have travelled more
than 50 miles; said she is aware that people stay with relatives, and/or stay in hotels downtown, as well as
in Post Falls and other areas.
9. Cycle Celebration - Peggy Doering, Stephanie Hughes
Ms. Doering seeks $25,000 to assist in attracting a regional audience to visit and stay in Spokane Valley
the weekend of July 26, 2020 for the Cycle Celebration; including exploring the idea of having a bike ride
map to increase cycling in the valley. Mr. Brokaw asked if this event were brought in with Valleyfest,
would it make Valleyfest bigger. Ms. Hughes replied that she is not sure; said they have a committed cycle
celebration volunteer core group and are here asking on their behalf; said the cycle celebration is a very
successful event, and like the old adage, don't fix it if it's not broken. Mr. Brokaw asked how many riders
are from outside the area, and Ms. Hughes said about 20% are from out of town, with Ms. Doering adding
T T A P nrtnher 17 7.(119 Page 2 of 3
that the projected 20 room nights is a conservative estimate. Ms. Doering also noted that most riders
participate in the 50 -mile bike ride, and to add another large event, would require more volunteers; she said
the cost to enter is $29 and includes lunch; and noted that it is a ride and not a race. Ms. Hughes said some
of the ride is on the Centennial Trail, and that no races are allowed on that Trail.
10. Visit Spokane —Meg Winchester, Jamie Rand
Ms. Winchester seeks $50,000 to assist in their marketing program which will position the City as a
distinctive community worthy of the trip; and that their promotions will generate visitor spending through
the city at restaurants, stores, hotels, and events throughout the year. Mr. Cameron said he has attended
some marketing sessions about Ms. Winchester's and her staff s vision, and said on behalf of the hotels he
represents, they are very pleased with the focus and attention and detail in tracking the market Mr. Repetti
said he sits on the Visit Spokane board and their new tracking software is incredible, and said he encourages
working closely with Visit Spokane.
In anticipation of the LTAC members going into a short recess, Ms. Taylor reminded everyone not to
discuss the allocations except at the dais during the open meeting. Chair Wood called for a recess at 10:25
a.m.; he reconvened the meeting at 10:35 a.m. and asked if there were any motions.
Mr. Cameron said that based on goals to further review the studies currently being conducted by the City
to identify a major capital project and operating expenditures to facilitate a major sports facility to be built
in the City of Spokane Valley, targeted to increase overnight visitors in Spokane Valley, he moved that
$495,000 be deducted from the available lodging tax funds in 2020 and moved into the 1.3% account fund
dedicated for a large sporting venue that generates overnight guests; which leaves remaining $300, 000;
and to allocate any remaining funds not distributed or recommended at this meeting, to be held in the fund
balance for LTAC to be distributed in the future, and recommend final approval by the City Council. The
motion was seconded. by Mr. Repetti who stated that he supports moving significant dollars into the fund;
and that he would support what is being recommended today. Mr. Cameron called for the question, but
there was no second and discussion continued. After further discussion about the $495,000; it was moved
by M. Heinselman and seconded to amend the motion by changing the amountfrom $495, 000 to $450, 000.
Vote by a show of hands was unanimous in favor of the amended motion. The fully amended motion was
then voted upon by a show of hands with all members voting in favor. Members of the LTAC then took a
few moments to complete their spreadsheets for their recommendations.
Finance Director Taylor entered the recommended allocations into a master spreadsheet and the floor was
open for discussion. There was general discussion about the recommended amounts, and Mr. Brokaw
mentioned that he initially did not recommend any funds to the Sports Commission based on what occurred
in the previous year. After it was explained that the amount was not from the LTAC but rather was the
Council's recommendation, Mr. Brokaw changed his amount for the Sports Commission to $50,000. LTAC
members then announced they were each comfortable with the allocation averages as presented. It was
then moved by Mr. Cameron and seconded to accept the recommended allocations as presented; i.e. (1)
HUB $55, 020; (2) JAKT CRAVE $18, 600; (3) JAKT Farmers Market $8,000; (4) JAKT Oktoberfest $8, 400;
(5) NW Winterfest $48, 000; (6) Spokane County Fair and Expo Center $66, 000; (7) Spokane Sports
Commission $45, 000; (8) Valleyfest $18, 600; (9) Valleyfest Cycle Celebration $1,380; and (10) Visit
Spokane $50, 000; total recommended allocations $319,000.
It was moved by Mr. Cameron, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at
11:05 a.m.

Memorandum
To: Lodging Tax Advisory Committee
From: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Date: Friday October 11, 2019
Re: Information regarding Lodging Tax
To help you prepare for the October 17, 2019, meeting where you will consider requests that will be
financed with 2020 lodging tax receipts I'm including information that you may find helpful in
understanding how much lodging tax we anticipate the City will receive from the 2% lodging tax and
how it may be expended. Prior to the beginning of presentations by those agencies requesting
funds I will briefly discuss the enclosed documents and do my best to answer any questions you
may have.
Two noteworthy items to be aware of as we consider 2020 grant awards:
1. Washington State Legislature -- Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1253
In 2013 the Washington State Legislature approved Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1253 which
amended the lodging tax revenue, application process, selection process, and reporting
requirements. ESHB 1253 specifically retained the City's authority to use lodging tax revenues
to fund:
• Tourism marketing.
• The marketing and operations of special events and festivals.
• The operations and capital expenditures of tourism -related facilities owned or operated by a
municipality or public facility district.
• The operations (but not capital expenditures) of tourism -related facilities owned or operated
by non-profit organizations.
The ESHB also established new application and reporting procedures for cities with a population
of greater than 5,000. Applicants must now submit their applications to the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee (LTAC) including in that application estimates of how money awarded to them will
result in increases in the number of people traveling for business or pleasure on a trip in the
following categories:
• Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid
accommodations;
• To a place 50 miles or more one way from their place of residence or business for the day or
staying overnight; or
• From another country or state outside their place of residence or their business.
P:1Finance12020 Budget\Budget Worksheets\Lodging Tax12019 10 17 LTAC Meeting12019 10 11 memo to todg tax commnittee.docx
Page 1
Through 2012, the City Council could, at its option, supersede the recommendation of the LTAC
and award lodging tax funds to applicants in the amount the Council collectively determined was
appropriate based upon their own goals and priorities for promoting conventions, festivals, special
events, and tourist travel, regardless of the LTAC recommendation. However, ESHB 1253 altered
this authority and the options for City Council action have been viewed as primarily being limited
to either (1) approving some or all of the listed recipients and amounts recommended by the LTAC
or (2) not approving any recipients and having the LTAC revise its recommendation for further
City Council action.
However, under RCW 67.28.1817, a municipality may propose "a change in the use of revenue
received under [RCW 67.28]," but must submit the proposal to the LTAC for review and comment.
Then, the LTAC must be given at least 45 days to review and provide comments prior to final
action by the municipality. This allows the City Council to conduct its own review of the materials
submitted, including the minutes and recommended amounts by the LTAC, to come up with its
own proposed distribution of the revenue for any of the applicants, which may be the same or
different from the LTAC recommendation. If it is different, the City must give the LTAC 45 days
to review and provide comments on the proposed revised distribution before taking final action.
The Council used this process in 2017 for the 2018 awards to ensure transparency and the public
confidence due to questions from the public that arose during the LTAC review and
recommendation process.
Reporting Requirements
Recipients must provide a report to the City describing the actual number of people traveling for
business or pleasure on a trip:
• Away from their place of residence or business and staying overnight in paid
accommodations;
• To a place 50 miles or more one way from their place of residence or business for the day or
staying overnight; or
• From another country or state outside their place of residence or their business.
The report must be made available to the City Council and the public and must be furnished to
the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee (JLARC) and the Lodging Tax Advisory
Committee. The JLARC will provide biennial reports to the Washington State Legislature.
The City will contact 2020 grant award recipients in approximately January 2021 with specific
instructions as to how and when they must have reports turned in to us so we may in turn
furnish them to JLARC.
2. Spokane Valley City Council Goals and Priorities for Use of Lodging Tax Revenues
In August 2013 Council for the first time adopted goals and priorities that it encouraged the
LTAC to consider when making award recommendations. Based upon subsequent discussions
between Council and Staff in the years of 2014 through 2019, these have evolved as follows:
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities, events
or festivals that will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in increases
to Spokane Valley tourism. As part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for the purposes
allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated
by a municipality or public facility district
P:1Finance12020 Budget\Budget Worksheets\Lodging Tax12019 10 17 LTAC Meeting12019 10 11 memo to lodg tax committee.docx
Page 2
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations.
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing
additional visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a
municipality or public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating
a majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose.
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or
marketing program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a
demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays. Council may also take into consideration
to a lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our tourism -based
economy including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane
Valley received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the Spokane
County Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District.
5. An award to any particular applicant cannot be greater than the dollar amount requested in
that applicant's application.
Council has also opted to again set aside $30,000 of 2020 lodging tax proceeds to partially
offset advertising costs for CenterPlace. This is allowed by RCW 67,28 because it reflects a
continued historical use of lodging tax as opposed to a change in use. What this means to the
Committee and applicants is that of the $825,000 we anticipate will be available for distribution
in 2020, $30,000 will be applied to City directed activities and the remaining $795,000 will be
available for in this grant award process.
Enclosed are a number of documents including:
• A single page with a chart that reflects a history of hotel/motel tax receipts from January 2010
through August 2019.
• A one page financial analysis of the City's Hotel/Motel Tax Fund with information related to
actual activity for the four-year period 2015 through 2018 and budgets for 2019 and 2020. I'd
like to point out two items here:
1. The 2019 revenues are tracking to end the year at approximately $720,000, which is
higher than the $600,000 included in the budget.
2. We currently anticipate we will enter 2020 with a fund balance of approximately
$333,000 and exit 2020 with approximately $164,000. We shoot for an ending fund
balance of about 25% of estimated revenues, which is $162,500 in 2020 ($650,000 x
25% = $162,500). We leave this amount as fund balance for cash flow purposes in
recognition of the fact that it takes approximately 2 -months from the time the tax is
collected at the hotel until when the State remits is to the City.
■ i.e. tax is collected through the month of July, remitted by hoteliers to the
State Department of Revenue by the end of August and remitted to the City
by the end of September.
■ If we ran the fund balance to $0, we would be unable to make timely
payments of reimbursement requests to award recipients.
• A sheet titled "2020 Lodging Tax Funding Requests and LTAC Award Recommendations" that
provides a summary of 2020 applicant requests and intended uses as well as the award amount
granted in 2019 (if applicable). This sheet will be used by Committee members to keep track of
their individual grant award recommendations. Award recommendations from each Committee
member will be projected onto screens in the City Council Chambers during our meeting.

Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) Chair Wood called the meeting to order at 8:30 a.m. and
welcomed everyone to the meeting.
Finance Director Taylor then gave an overview of the materials included in the 2019 Lodging Tax Grant
Funding Requests binder, which include a page for each committee member to provide their award
recommendation, today's meeting agenda, an October 12, 2018 memorandum with information regarding
the lodging tax and which includes the City Council Goals and Priorities for use of lodging tax revenues;
several financial sheets; 2018 Process leading to tentative 2019 awards calendar; minutes from the October
19, 2017, December 19, 2017, and August 21, 2018 committee meetings, and the Lodging Tax 2019 process
leading to 2020 awards calendar; followed by eleven applications and supporting materials from agencies
requesting funding. Ms. Taylor remarked that the revenues for 2018 are tracking to about $600,000, which
amount is slightly higher than the previous year, and that it looks like the beginning of 2019 shows about
$201,000; she mentioned ,we. keep about 25% of that figure, or about $150,000 for 2018, to use for cash
flow purposes. Director Taylor then asked the committee members to introduce themselves; which they
did. It was noted all committee members were present.
Chair Wood asked if there are any motions by the board at this time. It was moved by Mr. Cameron,
seconded and unanimously agreed that $275, 000 be deducted from the available LTAC funds in 2019, and
moved into the 1.3% lodging tax fund account dedicated for a large sporting venue. Director Taylor noted
that based on that motion, the new balance will be $350,000; and said that when the committee is ready,
she will have the spreadsheet up on the screen with that updated figure.
Presentations were then made as follows:
1. HUB Sports Center - $55,100: recruiting events to the facility; includes marketing and operations.
Via his PowerPoint presentation, HUB Executive Director Mr. Phil Champlin explained a little about his
66,650 square foot facility, complete with five basketball courts and three studios; he mentioned some of
the events that generate overnight stays including martial arts, basketball and volleyball; and included a
graph showing the, percentage of travel guests who travel to his,,facility within fifty miles in state, within
fifty miles out of state, and greater than fifty miles in and out .of state. As a point of interest, Mr. Cameron
said he also serves on that board, but there is no conflict; said the hotel industry tracks uses of hotels and
the HUB always generates a good deal of business for the valley, and Ms. Heinselman agreed. Mr. Repetti
LTAC Minutes October 18, 2018 Page 1 of 6
asked about the matching funds mentioned in the materials, and Mr. Champlin explained that they are also
applying for funds from Liberty Lake, and will use some of the HUB's funds to support his proposal as
well.
2. JAKT - $60,000 to continue to build the Crave three-day event.
Mr. Tom Stebbins mentioned the huge positive impact the improvements to CenterPlace's west lawn have
helped with this event; mentioned the previous year's attendance and the projected 2019 attendance at
4,000; said many people were not aware how wonderful CenterPlace is and he quoted some positive
comments received from members of the public after attending this event. Mr. Cameron asked how much
the City development fund contributed to this event, and Mr. Stebbins said he wasn't sure which fund this
came from, but the City provided $50,000 originally, and then $20,000 in City funds and $30,000 in lodging
tax revenues; and said he is asking for $10,000 more this year. To clarify, Finance Director Taylor said the
funding came out of the Economic Development Department Professional Services Fund. There was
discussion about paid and unpaid accommodations and mention from Mr. Cameron that his hotel can track
Crave attendance in his hotel. Mr. Stebbins noted the figures are speculative based on past attendance, and
said it is difficult to get exact figures as not every hotel tracks their customer's reasons for staying in their
establishment; he also noted that there is a challenge in having an event on the calendar so it won't compete
with other major events in the area; that the first year the event was held in June which ended up being
hampered by rain; adding that decisions need to be made now for next July; he said also not having shuttles
added to making it a challenging event. Mr. Stebbins noted getting chefs here was expensive as is social
media; and said he worked with a third party to assist in the production of videos.
3. JAKT- $15,000 new event Farmers Market
Mr. Stebbins remarked that a city this size should have a farmer's market, and he'd like to have one similar
to the one held in Liberty Lake and Kendall Yards; said he admits people would likely not come specifically
here for room nights for a farmer's market, but there is no other market in the area held on Friday nights;
said he sees this as a community service, that getting the first one going is hard work, but he also doesn't
want to be "upside down" financially. There was some discussion about vendors setting up and tearing
down with Mr. Stebbins stating that the people who participate are apt at that as that is what they do; said
there is no reason why this can't be like Kendall Yards but Mr. Cameron questioned his large attendance
projection. The suggestion of having it perhaps in the field across from City Hall was mentioned but Mr.
Stebbins said people like CenterPlace, they like the beauty of it and the waterfall; that the facility meets the
objectives of the event; and that the empty field's use at this point is uncertain, so he'd like to focus on one
spot.
4. JAKT- $20,000 Oktoberfest
Mr. Stebbins said these funds will help in the infrastructure cost; that this event was held downtown two
years ago, but was held at CenterPlace last year; said people who attended wanted an outside venue. The
question came up about Mr. Stebbins' compensation for these events and he said he is not being
compensated; that this is an investment in Spokane Valley; that there needs to be events to fill out the
calendar in Spokane Valley, and that he is in it for the long haul.
5. Spokane County Fair & Expo Center - $60,000 for Interim Events
Fair Coordinator Ms. Jessie Lehman said working for the County Fair& Expo Center is like planning all
year for a ten-year party for 200,000 of your closest friends; said their establishment includes 97 acres
located in Spokane Valley and they have been at their current location since 1952; she mentioned they are
an enterprise fund which means they have. to work hard to keep the doors open as they are not tax supported;
she mentioned the success they have seen in the past with the Fair as well as stand-alone events such as the
RV Show, Good Guys, and the antique show.
LTAC Minutes October 18, 2018 Page 2 of 6
6. Spokane County Parks, Recreation and Golf - $75,000 Plantes Ferry Sports Complex Renovation.
Park Planner and Landscape Architect Mr. Kristbpher Krohn introduced himself and noted that Mr. Joel.
Blockman is also in the audience should there be questions for him; he mentioned the project would convert
two existing grass soccer fields into synthetic turf fields, add LED lighting, pursue parking improvements
and irrigation system enhancements, and add safety netting where,needed; said this project would be done
in phases, and he showed some figures concerning the estimated economic impacts. Mr. Cameron asked
about the total cost to complete the renovation and Mr. Krohn said the estimate is $10 million over five to
ten years to finish all phases, but the requested funding would cover the 30% completion and put them in a
position to be very competitive for grants; he said they have not set aside any money yet from the County.
At 10:00 a.m. Chair Wood called for a ten-minute recess. The meeting reconvened at 10:12 a.m.
7. Spokane Sports Commission - $200,000 Support their sports development/marketing program.
Spokane Sports Commission President Mr. Eric Sawyer explained that this is a request for continued
funding to maximize competitiveness in the regional sports scene; said a minimum of ten tournament
quality softball fields are needed which would put us into the national tournament category, especially if
the fields have artificial turf and lights; said he encourages the City to partner with the County to make that
a reality, and not do it in phases, but rather get it done now and all at once; said his organization is a 501c3;
and mentioned that 27% of all travel today is sports related, and it was only the travel segment that grew
even during the great recession. Mr. Sawyer said you build it and they will come is a myth as it won't
happen without being promoted, marketed or maintained. He mentioned several venues that he said are
specific to valley impacts, like the golf courses at Liberty Lake, the sports at Mt. Spokane, and Plantes Ferry
Park; said this year they had 30,000 hotel stays in the valley, which he said they can track which resulted
in about $26 million in direct spending; and that there are already 20,000 hotel stays set for 2019; said his
organization does 65-70 events a year with a staff of nine; they work closely with all sports groups; and
said our region is on its way to becoming an amateur sports venue; that people come here for the incentives
and are looking for sports commissions to generate the service they need in order for those events to be
successful. Mr. Repetti.asked about his budget on page 8 and why Spokane Valley is so much larger than
the City of Spokane, and Mr. Sawyer explained that Spokane doesn't allocate lodging tax the way Spokane
Valley Does as those funds in Spokane are transferred to the PFD (Public Facilities District).
8. Spokane Valley Heritage Museum - $28,500 Two New Exhibits and Museum Brochures
Museum Director Jayne Singleton mentioned the two new exhibits referred to are (1) A Heritage of Sports:
Baseball & Basketball; and (2) Man on the Moon, the 50th Anniversary of Apollo 11; said there has been
significant growth of the museum over the years; and that cultural heritage tourism is the fastest growing
segment of the tourism industry; said they are drawing tourists into Spokane Valley and that people want
to come and see what the museum has; mentioned their sign -in sheet which clearly documents why people
come to the museum; and said aside from these two exhibits, they are also working on a genealogy tourism
segment; and she introduced Mr. Don Gorman, Museum Board Member. Mr, Gorham said he has been
giving museum tours for fourteen years and has seen a lot of people from almost every state as well as other
countries like Canada, Germany, Japan, and Russia;, said people also want to see where their ancestor's
farm was and the museum directs them to that and has a map of the area; said at the end of the tour people
usually want to know where there is -a good place to eat that is close; and when they get people in who are
staying at a hotel for a convention or other business, they generally ask what else is there to see and do here;
and he mentioned that their Smithsonian display was particularly popular. Ms. Singleton stated that the
museum has recently been mentioned in a noted travel publication as a place to visit; and said she looks
forward to the committee members coming in to see the museum,
9. Valleyfest- $150,000 to Market and advertise throughout the Inland NW Region.
Valleyfest Executive Director Ms. Peggy Doering, and Board Member Ms. Stephanie Hughes, thanked the
committee for their support; said Valleyfest is funded through sponsorships, auctions, and grants like this;
LTAC Minutes October 18, 2018 Page 3 of 6
that they are seeking funds to do marketing and advertising to a 500-mile radius, to include the west side
of the state and elsewhere; said last year their $18,000 grant was used to market events through social
media; said they support the goals of Spokane Valley as stated in the application as well as Spokane Valley's
Comprehensive Plan that states the City supports the arts, community events and relevant facilities; said
they continue their growth and are part of the cultural identity of Spokane Valley; said over 10,000 people
attend the parade and over 35,000 were at the event at CenterPlace including the events at Plantes Ferry
Park; said the event included multiple booths and activities, and is free and open to the public and has a
positive impact on our region. Ms. Hughes mentioned a new event this year was partnering with LiteFeet
to bring a country swing dance competition; said they brought back the boat/bike/run triathlon; and she
added that she and Ms. Doering are volunteers and they do this because of the love of the valley; adding
that it can't be done without sponsors, and she mentioned several of the large, medium, and small sponsors.
Mr. Cameron asked about tracking room nights this year and Ms. Doering said those numbers in the
materials reflect 2017 numbers and the 2018 numbers are not completely. compiled. Mr. Cameron also
remarked that all the hotels are sensitive to and aware of the need to track room nights, and others have
asked him to address this as they really don't see hotel nights for this festival, and Ms. Heinselman added
that her hotel does not get any draw for Valleyfest. Ms. Doering said they conducted an exit survey in order
to get some data; said she also placed Valleyfest information with the hotels; said people don't always
include all purposes of their visit as some come under corporate accounts. Mr. Cameron said Valleyfest is
ideal for the community but not for tourism; and the dates could be a problem since many people are just
coming back from summer trips and schools are just starting.
Chair Wood said that tourism is very important but hotel nights are not the only thing he looks at; said we
want to develop local events as they feed the local economy, and said Council supports those things as well;
said this is a fantastic function, is well run, that his family attends several days each year, and the event
warrants some support. Ms. Heinselman asked if Ms. Doering has applied elsewhere for grants and Ms.
Doering said they have applied through the Washington State Arts Commission, and the Economic
Development Department of the City; said that grants for marketing are more difficult to achieve but they
usually get perhaps $40,000 a year, which includes this and the City, and which she said is included in the
budget line items in the material.
10. Valleyfest Cycle Celebration - $25,000 for Marketing Spokane Valley as a destination to cyclists
Ms. Doering went over the project summary and history of the event, and in responding to comments about
generated room nights, said in 2017 they had about 25-30 hotel nights from out of the area; said they
advertised in a state-wide publication, and the goal is to attract a regional audience to stay the weekend of
the event; and with the help of local bike shops, advertising will be distributed through the bike trade shows
and the bike swap, as well as local advertising. Chair Wood asked about the competition in the race and
Ms. Doering explained that this is a ride, and not a race; they try to make it like a big party, with beer and
pizza afterwards. Mr. Repetti said maybe she could link this event with Crave's event and that it would be
nice to see it partner with other events; that he imagines it would be challenging for people to travel just for
a bike ride. Ms. Doering said they also give their information to Silverwood as people travel on the I90,
and she places flyers with other events as well.
11. Visit Spokane - $200,000 Tourism Marketing Program for the City of Spokane Valley.
Visit Spokane Interim President and CEO Mr. T.J. Hake, Director of Sales Ms. Ruth Fitzgerald, and
Director of Marketing Mr. Jamie Rand went over their projects and promotions which included among
others, new City of Spokane Valley brochure and map, and new video; said they are a regional organization
and they market the entire county; said the funds they seek are specific to Spokane Valley and most if not
all align with the strategies developed by CAI (Community Attributes, Inc.) and which are incorporated in
Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan. Mr. Hake said they support Crave, Valleyfest, and many other
events and they send people to hotels, which has resulted in over 90,000 room nights for approximately 40
groups, which also generated over $43 million in shopping, retail, restaurants, golf, etc.; he said that
LTAC Minutes October 18, 2018 Page 4 of 6
although Spokane Valley doesn't have a golf course, golfers like to stay in Spokane Valley because it is a
central location to many courses here and in Idaho. Mr. Rand went over a list of "What's New in 2018"
and mentioned the Liberty Lake map included in the packet materials. After some brief discussion about
room generations, Mr. Repetti disclosed that he is a Visit Spokane Board Member, but that he does not see
that as a conflict; and he asked why are these other organizations seeking funding when Visit Spokane is
supposed to be the organization that does that. Mr. Hake explained that'each organization needs a marketing
plan, and that -Visit Spokane partners -with them and will continue to do so.
At 11:30 a.m., Ms. Taylor asked each committee member to complete their allocation form, to place their
name on the form, that the figures should add up to $350,000; and once complete, to hand those back to
her; and she asked that there please be no discussion until the meeting is reconvened. Chair Wood called
for a ten-minute break. The meeting reconvened at 11:41 a.m. at which time Mr. Cameron made a last
minute change in his recommended allocation. Ms. Taylor said she will enter the figures on the spreadsheet,
and committee members may make changes if they desire. Each committee member then gave a brief
explanation of their allocations.
Mr. Cameron explained that in light of the presentation regarding Spokane County parks allocation, that he
wanted to preface his comment that because they indicated the funds would barely cover the topography,
map and some of the other pieces, said if they aren't going to be in a position to actually have funding from
another source to make up the difference; said he feels we can meet at the pleasure of the Council as often
as they feel it warranted for distribution of funds, that it doesn't have to be just once a year; he said he has
served on three or four tax advisory committees and Mason County and others have met based on need;
said he's wondering if it wouldn't be appropriate, and said he thinks he'd like to move; at which point City
Clerk Bainbridge politely interrupted with a question for City Attorney Driskell. She explained that it is her
understanding that since this committee does not have a regular meeting schedule, when it meets it is
considered a special meeting, and it was noted as such; and because it's a special meeting and there's no
motion on the agenda, is it permissible to make such a motion.
City Attorney Driskell said that for a motion of that nature which is completely different from anything
advertised, that he would be concerned that such motion would be beyond the scope of what was advertised;
but if this committee wanted to consider that in the future, or Council wanted to consider that in the future,
that could be a topic of discussion; and that the motion earlier in the meeting related to the allocations, but
this would be a separate issue, about coming up with an alternative schedule, and that this should be a
discussion for another day, with proper notice.
Mr. Cameron said he would make his recommendation to the Council as it would probably be more
appropriate that it come from the Council; and said he would recommend to the Council, and hopefully the
other committee members would agree, that if its determined with further study that $35,000 will be given
to Spokane County Parks but they can't move the project forward without additional funding, said he would
hate to see the City of Spokane Valley's $35,000 just sitting there until other funds are available, so if this
isn't going to move forward in a relatively speedy fashion, then he'd recommend that the Council consider
a motion to withhold the $35,000 and put it back in the bank, if they can't give us some assurance that they
can get some additional funding. Ms.. Taylor said if Spokane County were to indicate they can't use just
$35,000 as they have no additional money to complete the project, assuming that is the.. final award the
Council would determine, that once awards are finalized, staff goes through with the applicants and get
signed contracts, and all the funds that are disbursed are done so on a reimbursement basis; if they didn't
spend it, we would never give it to them. Mr. Cameron said his concern is that they could spend the $3 5,000,
but it wouldn't get what they indicated they needed so it wouldn't complete the request or the mission. Ms.
Taylor said if they were to say that, and she mentioned we have had applicants in the past turn down
contracts after the awards have been made, for the reason that they couldn't complete the scope of the
LTAC Minutes October 18, 2018 Page 5 of 6
project as noted in their application, and they declined the contract and the money stayed in our fund which
then goes into those reserve fund balances that would be considered for allocation in the next award cycle.
It was then moved by Lee Cameron and seconded to accept the funding averages as shown in the amounts
recommended column.
Mr. Repetti said he shares Mr. Cameron's concern on Spokane County Parks, said this committee is
allocating funds that he would strongly suggest need to be rnatched to get to the required amount, by other
public entities; said he doesn't think it is inappropriate for this committee to have that conversation with
Council, and acknowledged that he doesn't know how that would work legally, but said no one on this
committee is comfortable with just throwing that $35,000 to getting something half way; said he is strongly
in favor of moving forward on the design, he just wants others to be part of the funding source; and said he
wants to make sure that Council is well aware of his, and perhaps Mr. Cameron's preference that the
$35,000 doesn't just get expended; that it's not an issue of the Parks Commission not accepting the contract,
but part of the contract needs to be that they have attained enough funding to get to the point where they
described in their submission; and said he is unsure how to vote on this without that caveat on the money
amount.
City Attorney Driskell said that is something that would be communicated from staff to Council; and
perhaps given this commitment by the LTAC, that Spokane County would look at that and recognize that
if Spokane Valley is making an investment, they can come up with the rest of the money, which he said is
of course, unknown at this point, and hopefully we will get more clarity on that and hopefully that will be
part of the consideration of Spokane County as to whether they accept. Ms. Taylor also noted that the
minutes from this meeting will be provided to Council when she gives her presentation to them on this
recap of allocations. Chair Wood asked for clarification, that if Spokane County can't come up with the rest
of the funds, then would that $35,000 come back to this committee; and Ms. Taylor said unless we have
another award cycle where we open the process again to applicants, those funds would go back to the fund
balance for next year's award process.
Vote by a show of hands on the motion to accept the funding averages as shown in the amounts
recommended column: In favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Motion carried.
[Those amounts recommended include: (1) The Hub $52,000; (2) JAKT-Crave $21,500; (3) JAKT Farmers
Market $7,000; (4) JAKT Oktoberfest $5,000; (5) Spokane County Fair & Expo Center $55,000; (6)

(11) Visit Spokane $48,000. Grand Total: $350,000]
It was moved by M. Repetti, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at
12:14 p.m.

City of Spokane Valley Request for 2020 Grant
II. HISTORY
Briefly describe your organization/business. What is its primary function and mission statement?
The HUB Sports Center is a 501(c)3 non-profit organization designed to provide the community with an
outstanding sports and multi-purpose facility. Our mission is to join the communities of faith, sports,
education, business and government to positively impact our youth and region through events and
programs that enhance life skills.
The HUB Sports Center has operated this facility since the latter part of 2007. The facility is 66K sq. ft
and includes 5 basketball courts, 3 dance studios, lobby/concessions area and office space. The court
space is used for basketball, volleyball, soccer, and pickleball, among other things. The studios are used
for aerobics, fitness training, dancing, martial arts and meeting rooms.
The HUB Sports Center affords many groups the opportunity to host major events and tournaments in
the Spokane Valley /Liberty Lake community. There is not another facility in the area that has the
flexible space and capacity. For 2019 the HUB Sports Center will generate over $6M in economic
impact from events with out-of-town travelers. There is additional revenue generated from local weekly
and weekend events hosted by the HUB Sports Center throughout the year. Without the HUB Sports
Center, these youth organizations would either reduce opportunities for kids to participate or attempt to
move to locations farther away from Spokane Valley. This would result in a reduction of activities for
our youth and/or a necessity to spend more time away from home traveling to games and practices.
III. PROJECT SUMMARY
Provide a concise summary of your request and what it will accomplish. If your request is part of a
larger project, you may briefly describe the over-all project. However, please focus the bulk of your
answer on the specific element for which you are requesting funding.
The HUB Sports Center is requesting $55,100. These funds would be used towards recruiting events to
the facility, marketing of these events and operations. The events range from national sports
tournaments drawing participants from across the country and Canada to local youth sporting events
drawing participants from the greater Spokane and Coeur d'Alene area and Inland Northwest Region.
These funds will assist us in keeping the HUB Sports Center available to host events that bring a
significant economic impact to the community. Some of these major events are organized and promoted
through other non-profit sports organizations. Other events are sponsored and promoted by the HUB
Sports Center. For 2019 the HUB Sports Center hosted 3 first-time events which generated overnight
stays at our local hotels. Our plan is to continue to develop, cultivate and grow these events to
recurring annual events. A portion of these funds will be used toward a media campaign aimed at
raising the awareness of the facility and attracting new users to bring their events and activities here.
By the end of 2019 we will have hosted 46 events over 75 days which generate overnight stays. For
2020, we project an increase over our 2019 numbers. Using the formula provided by the Spokane
Regional Sports Commission, the HUB Sports Center 2019 events will generate over $6 million in
economic impact from people travelingfrom outside the greater Spokane area.
City of Spokane Valley Request for 2020 Grant
IV. SCOPE OF WORK
Fully describe the project. Expand on your Project Summary to address such issues as:
a. What it is you wish to do?
b. How and why the community will benefit?
c. What are the beginning and ending dates of your project?
d. Is it a seasonal activity appropriate to its location?
e. If an outdoor activity, are there any weather related constraints?
f. What measures you will apply to evaluate its success?
If you are requesting funds for a specific portion of a larger project, please so state but focus your
response on the element for which you are requesting grant assistance. You may use additional pages as
necessary. Attachments to this section should be labeled "IV. Scope of Work."
We will actively pursue organizations and groups to bring their events to our facility. Our strategy is to
attract and retain organizations, primarily focused on youth, that will utilize this outstanding facility for
their events. Most of these groups have existing recurring events, which are already successful, but need
room to expand. In addition, we program HUB sponsored events that complement our existing outside
user group base and look to fill in gaps in our scheduling and meet activity demands. These funds would
be utilized to market and promote the HUB sponsored events as well as to maintain a clean and
professional facility. We make a positive impression with our organizations and their event participants
which encourages them to return year after year.
The community benefits from both the "overnight" as well as the "daytrip" traveler to these events. The
events provide the area on opportunity to showcase all this community has to offer to families from
other areas of the city, state and country. The overnight traveler provides the largest economic impact,
but the daytrip traveler will also spend money on retail, gas and food locally.
This project is a yearlong commitment to continue to bring more people to the area through the events
and activities we attract, retain and host.
This is not a seasonal activity as we are conducting activities throughout the year. All of the activities
will be indoors so we won't likely be affected by weather.
Its success will be measured against our overall attendance from 2019 and growing by 2%. We will also
measure the number of teams attending our HUB sponsored leagues and tournaments and growing that
segment by 10%. (98 teams in 2018 and 101 teams year-to-date in 2019.)
The HUB Sports Center has been operating since the fall of 2007. In the fall of 2009 we began pursuing
events and activities year-round. We have successfully transitioned to a year-round facility and continue
to attract new events and activities each month. We tracked approximately 100,000 people attending
our events and activities for 2010 and are projecting 169, 700 for 2019.

V. IMPACT ON TOURISM
"Tourism," as defined in RCW 67.28.080(5), means economic activity resulting from tourists, which
may include sales of overnight lodging, meals, tours, gifts, or souvenirs. A practical measure of tourism
is the number of visitors that are attracted to the area. Provide an estimated or "projected" number of
visitors who are expected to be attracted by the proposal in the following categories:

the methods that will be used to determine actual attendance and distinguish among the visitor
categories (methods include a head count, car count, survey, or other with explanation). Attachments to
this section should be Iabelcd "V. Impact on Tourism."
The HUB Sports Center works closely with our tournament/event directors as well as local hoteliers to
gather information on participants and spectators in attendance. Using this information, we have
estimated the counts for the above section. We will continue to utilize our partnerships to help track this
information. Please note the attached document which accounts for some tracking of where teams are
coming from by tournaments.

VI. SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORTITIES THAT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED IN APPLICATION
The Spokane Valley City Council will make the final award of lodging tax revenues to candidates based
upon the recommendations of the LTAC. The City Council has established goals and priorities for using
lodging tax revenues to benefit tourism within Spokane Valley. In addition to the evaluation criteria
outlined in the other sections of this application, the SVLTAC desires to understand how the applicant's
proposal and project would meet the City Council goals and priorities. Please explain how the proposal
meets City Council goals and priorities, listed below. Attachments to this section should be labeled
"VI. Consideration of City Council Goals and Priorities"
City of Spokane Valley Request for 2020 Grant
Council Goals and Priorities for Use of the Initial 2% Lodging Tax
In August 2013 Council for the first time adopted goals and priorities that it encouraged the LTAC to
consider when making award recommendations. Based upon subsequent discussions between Council
and Staff in the years of 2014 through 2019, these have evolved as follows:
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities, events or
festivals that will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in increases to
Spokane Valley tourism. As part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for the purposes
allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by a
municipality or public facility district
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or operated by
non-profit organizations.
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing additional
visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a municipality or
public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating a majority of
lodging taxes toward this purpose.
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or marketing
program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a demonstrable history of
increasing overnight stays; however, Council will also take into consideration the economic impact
of all major components of our tourism -based economy including shopping, dining and overnight
visits.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane Valley
received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the Spokane County
Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District.
5. An award to any particular applicant cannot be greater than the dollar amount requested in that
applicant's application.
We believe the HUB Sports Center meets the community and tourism objectives of the Spokane Valley
City Council. The HUB Sports Center would utilize the grants monies in three categories listed above;
Tourism Marketing, marketing and operation of special events and festivals, and the operation of
tourism related facilities owned or operated by non-profit organizations. We have 1 new event
scheduled for 2020 with 2 more in process. The economic impact from events with measureable
overnight stays calculated to over $6.5M for 2019 with an estimated over 5,000 room night stays. The
additional impact to the Spokane Valley community from additional events which draw families from the
greater Spokane and Coeur d'Alene communities is also significant. These "day trip" people spend
monies on gas, dining and shopping in Spokane Valley when they travel to the HUB Sports Center for a
day event. Through supporting the HUB Sports Center with these funds, we will continue to play an
important role in the economic development of Spokane Valley. We continue to push for expansion of
our HUB sponsored events for2020 such as: Inland NW Volleyball Showcase and Summer Slam
basketball tournaments. The HUB Sports Center is "ALL -IN" when it comes to supporting the families
of the Spokane Valley.

Briefly describe your organization/business. What is its primary function and mission statement?
The JAKT Foundation was founded in 2017 to support events such as Crave, Oktoberfest and

many parts, together, creates more.
Core Values: * Build Community * Collaborate * Highlight chefs * Partner of Spokane Valley *

benefits * Culinary leadership locally, regionally & nationally
III. PROJECT SUMMARY
Support of Crave! will assist infrastructure costs of conducting the event and a social media team
effort that includes photography and video assets and PR outreach in Seattle and Bend, OR.
The culinary and creative force behind CRAVE is Spokane chef and restauranteur Adam Hegsted. Chef -
owner of The Wandering Table, The Gilded Unicorn, Yards Bruncheon and Eat Good Cafe in Spokane.
"This has been a dream of mine for some time" states Hegsted. "We have some great things going on
right now in our region, and CRAVE will help us get to the next level. Join us in making this an event the
region can rally around and be proud of."
CRAVE Objectives:
• Provide the Spokane region with a high end multi -day culinary event.
• Highlight the culinary scene in Spokane and reinforce to Chefs throughout the country that
Spokane is a great destination to do business.
• Drive destination travel to the Spokane region using food as a draw and to then experience the
many attributes the region enjoys.
• Feature local and regional food from fresh seafood, ranch -raised meats to farm -to -table
produce and inventive desserts.
Crave is:
• A multi -day multi ticketed event under one name, Crave!
o Each event ticket is all inclusive, one price and everything is hosted.
• Main events are Thursday, Friday & Saturday and, new, Spokane Valley Picnic on Sunday.
o 15 chefs and 15 wineries, distillers or breweries at each event, none repeating.
■ Chef mix is focused on James Beard nominated chefs or similar quality.
■ Wineries and their winemakers.
o Limited in capacity to insure a quality guest experience.
• Grand Tasting event is Saturday
o Social and educational experiences.
■ Attendees have an opportunity to interact directly with chefs and exhibitors.
■ Seminars
■ Hands-on classes
■ Wine pairings
IV. SCOPE OF WORK
a. What it is you wish to do? We will continue the build of the region's largest and only four-day food
and drink event with a special focus of growing motel/hotel room nights specifically in Spokane Valley
who are nearest to the event.
b. How and why the community will benefit? This regional event is in Spokane Valley providing a source
of pride to the Spokane Valley community and a recruiting tool for Spokane Valley to talk about their
large events that are part of the social fabric and diversity of the city. Further, as the Inland Northwest's
only four-day food and drink event foodies throughout the Northwest, West Coast and nation will stay
and explore all that Spokane Valley has to offer.
c. What are the beginning and ending dates of your project? July 16 —1.9, 2020
d. Is it a seasonal activity appropriate to its location? Yes, the event capitalizes on the attributes of
CenterPlace' s inside and outside venue options.
e. If an outdoor activity, are there any weather-related constraints? None as the event happens rain or
shine and tents for shade and cover will be provided vendors.
f. What measures you will apply to evaluate its success? Do hotels see incremental occupancy Crave!
weekend as we look to create "compression" with Spokane Valley as the center of this effort? Do guests
have good things to say so word of mouth expands the reach of the event outside of the local region?

VI. CONSIDERATION OF CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
Council Goals and Priorities for Use of the Initial 2% Lodging Tax
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities, events
or festivals that will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in increases
to Spokane Valley tourism. As part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for the purposes
allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
i. Crave! will assist in tourism marketing of Spokane Valley. Further it is a
Spokane Valley event the staff of Visit Spokane is fully engaged in supporting.
1. 2018 & 2019 saw Visit Spokane coordinate a Seattle PR food outreach
supported by local Crave chefs.
2. Together we will also be attending the Travel Writers conference in
Bend, OR next May
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
i. Funds will be used in marketing and operations of Crave!
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
i. Funds will be used in marketing and operations of Crave!
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated
by a municipality or public facility district.
i. Crave! rents and paid over $14,000 to Spokane Valley CenterPlace for Crave!.
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations. N/A
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing
additional visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a
municipality or public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating a
majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose. N/A
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or
marketing program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a
demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays. Council may also take into consideration to a
lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our tourism -based economy
including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
a. Crave! met this objective in 2017, 2018 & 2019 and anticipates 2020 to increase room
night growth by working closely with all lodging properties and specifically being
proactive with Spokane Valley specific lodging properties to create event packages to
grow this regional destination event.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane
Valley received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the Spokane
County Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District. City of Spokane
Valley Request for 2018 Grant Page 7 of 8
a. Crave! received an $7,000 Spokane County TPA grant in 2019. If available in 2020 we
will apply to cover incremental PR and marketing costs beyond what we're requesting
within this application.
5. An award to any particular applicant cannot be greater than the dollar amount requested in that
applicant's application. Acknowledged
6. Council wishes to establish a future plan for the City to best utilize the 1.3% lodging tax that is
accounted for in the Hotel/Motel Tax—Tourism Facilities Fund #104. We support this objective
and volunteer to help create this plan if desired.

Another fun thing in Spokane Valley to do on a Friday night and reinforce returning to a Spokane Valley lodging

VI. CONSIDERATION OF CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES
Council Goals and Priorities for Use of the Initial 2% Lodging Tax
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative proiects activities, events or festivals that
will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in increases to Spokane Valley tourism. As
part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for the purposes allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
i. Spokane Valley Farmers Market will assist in tourism marketing of Spokane Valley. Further it
is a Spokane Valley event your lodging tax dollars will support.
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
i. Funds will be used in marketing and operations of Spokane Valley Farmers Market
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by a municipality
or public facility district.
L Spokane Valley Farmers Market will rent and pay $9,000 to Spokane Valley CenterPiace for
holding the farmers market at this location.
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or operated by non-
profit organizations. N/A
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism destination facilities
or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing additional visitors to the City (recognizing
that this option is limited to facilities owned by a municipality or public facility district). Council would like to
move in the direction of allocating a majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose. N/A
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or marketing program and
will place higher consideration on events or programs with a demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays.
Council may also take into consideration to a lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our
tourism -based economy including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
a. Spokane Valley Farmers Market will complement this objective in 2020. The farmers market will
continue to add an amenity for tourism and the community that is part of any vibrant community.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane Valley received by
applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the Spokane County Tourism Promotion Authority
and Spokane Public Facilities District. Spokane Valley Farmers Market will not submit an application from this
funding source.
5. An award to any particular applicant cannot be greater than the dollar amount requested in that applicant's
application. Acknowledged

• The #1 reason there is a Farmers Market in Spokane Valley is due to Spokane Valley Lodging tax grant of $7000
which can be used, and was, to underwrite the cost of a market manager to secure vendors and line up the
logistics of the market.
• The JAKT Foundation is requesting $18,000, the full amount of the market manager position, this year to insure
the market manager position can maintain organized and continues to find the best vendors to bring to the
community and boost attendance. It also allows the ability of the SVFM to provide space to farmers at no cost
which we did in 2019 and hope to continue in 2020.
• Your support will allow the Spokane Valley Farmers Market to start planning without a firm commitment of
corporate or vendor fees that are needed now as we work towards a June, 2020 season launch.

Core Values: * Build Community * Collaborate * Highlight chefs * Partner of Spokane Valley *

HI. PROJECT SUMMARY
Support of Spokane Oktoberfest will assist in infrastructure costs of conducting the event and
insure the financial success and continuation of the event in Spokane Valley.
Spokane Oktoberfest is the only large community Oktoberfest of its kind in the Spokane region and
Intermountain Notthwest. For one three day weekend Spokane Valley will come alive with Bavarian
music, cheer and fun for all ages. Large tents, great music, fun games and plenty of food and beer for all
will wow the Spokane Valley Community and visitors to our region. Oktoberfest brings a cultural
imtnersion through performance, culinary exploration and educational opportunities.
Spokane Oktoberfest includes: two musical stages throughout the event, Oktoberfest bands from LA,
Sacramento and Seattle plus local German bands, tents for warmth at night and rain protection, authentic
German food from Le Catering, free parking at CenterPlace, authentic tapping of the wooden keg by the
Spokane Valley mayor, free games (corn hole, beer pong and NageIspielen), Millwood Brewery Root
Bier garden, local craft breweries (Millwood, Steam Plant & Mountain Lakes) joined German beer
Paulaner, wiener dog races and long tables to create community interaction and smiles as Bavarian music
plays throughout.
This is a regional Oktoberfest with 2019 attendance of just over 3,000, down 1,000 as impacted by a
winter storm in September. Visit Spokane did an informal survey during the 2016 Oktoberfest event and
visited with folks from Canada, Tri -Cities, Walla Walla, Montana and Boise for the largest Oktoberfest in
the Intermountain Northwest. This year I received a call from Helena requesting a refund given the
weather bringing five with them as they didn't want to drive from Leavenworth.
Spokane Oktoberfest Objectives:
• Provide the Spokane region with a true Oktoberfest celebration.
• Be a significant part of the growing Spokane Valley event schedule.
• Be financially viable.
Oktoberfest is:
• Highlights from each day:
o Friday — 4pm to l 1pm
• Tapping of the keg by Spokane Valley Mayor
• Games, music, food
o Saturday — Noon to I Ipm
• Games, music, food
o Sunday— llam to 5pm
• 1/2 Price Family Day
• Weiner dog races
• Games, music, food
IV. SCOPE OF WORK
a. What it is you wish to do? We hope to expand the reach of Spokane Oktoberfest and grow
motel/hotel room nights specifically in Spokane Valley who are nearest to the event.
b. How and why the community will benefit? As the largest Oktoberfest east of Leavenworth and west
of Minneapolis we hope to bring visitors to Spokane Valley by providing a fun and safe environment for
this all age's event.
c. What are the beginning and ending dates of your project? October 2 — 4, 2020
d. Is it a seasonal activity appropriate to its location? Yes, the event capitalizes on the attributes of
CenterPlace' s inside and outside venue options.
e. If an outdoor activity, are there any weather-related constraints? None as at least one large 40' x
120' tent for one stage and a dry environment for guests to enjoy will be present.
f. What measures you will apply to evaluate its success? Do hotels see incremental occupancy
Oktoberfest weekend as we look to create "compression" with Spokane Valley as the center of this effort?
Is the event paying for itself?
g. Brief history of event or organization. Spokane Oktoberfest was recreated in 2015 in partnership
with the German American Society of Spokane after a thirty year break. Spokane Oktoberfest serves not
only the general population but the largest ethnic population* in the region.
* Per D. Patrick Jones, Ph.D., Executive Director, Institute for Public Policy & Economic Analysis
at Eastern Washington University. Over 38,000 Germans in Spokane County plus 27726 in
Lewiston/Clarkston, Tri -Cities, Wenatchee & Walla Walla. "The Census reports that it's the
largest ancestry group in the area. Adding Eastern WA counties, at least those that are dryland
ag, add another 27,726 for four other MSAs in Eastern Washington. This does not include Grant
County or Kootenai County. Note that these are single ancestry designations. Germany
consistently ranks first. If one were to track mixed ancestry, which the Census understandably
doesn't, I'm persuaded that the percentage of the area population with some German blood
would be at least twice as high."

i. Spokane Oktoberfest rents and paid over $10,000 to Spokane Valley
CenterPlace for Oktoberfest.
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations. N/A
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing
additional visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a
municipality or public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating a
majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose. N/A
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or
marketing program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a
demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays. Council may also take into consideration to a
lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our tourism -based economy
including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
a. Spokane Oktoberfest met this objective in 2017, 2018, 2019 and anticipates 2020 to
increase room night growth by providing all participating hotels free tickets to the
event to add value for their guests to develop and grow a regional destination event.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane
Valley received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the Spokane
County Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District. City of Spokane
Valley Request for 2018 Grant Page 7 of 8
a. Spokane Oktoberfest received a $5,000 Spokane County TPA grant for 2017 and no
TPA funds were available in 2018. We were unsuccessful in 2019 for any funding. If
available in 2020 we will apply to cover incremental PR and marketing costs beyond
what we're requesting within this application.
5. An award to any particular applicant cannot be greater than the dollar amount requested in that
applicant's application. Acknowledged
6. Council wishes to establish a future plan for the City to best utilize the 1.3% lodging tax that is
accounted for in the Hotel/Motel Tax—Tourism Facilities Fund #104. We support this objective
and volunteer to help create this plan if desired.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, WA
2020 Lodging Tax Grant Application
General:
The Spokane Valley Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) was established by the Spokane
Valley City Council in accordance with state law to advise and recommend to the Council how
excise taxes on lodging collected in Spokane Valley should be allocated in order to best increase
tourism in the City.
Purpose:
The purpose of this Request for Grant offered by the City of Spokane Valley is to solicit proposals
from those agencies and groups which encourage tourism in Spokane Valley. The source of
funds is a two percent tax (RCW 67.28.180) on all charges for furnishing lodging at hotels, motels,
and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period
of less than one month. This tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax, so
that the total tax that a patron pays in sales tax and hotel -motel tax combined is equal to what the
retail sales tax would otherwise be in the jurisdiction.
Project Description:
State law allows the use of lodging tax revenues for the following categories:
• Tourism marketing
• The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
• The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by
a municipality or public facility district
• The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations
The expected outcome of such activity is to increase economic activity in the City of Spokane
Valley during 2020 through a variety of activities, such as overnight lodging of tourists ("heads in
beds"), restaurant sales, and retail activity.
Specific questions are included in the attached application to assist in delineating those matters
which are of concern to the LTAC and which will be part of the selection criteria. The application
will develop and outline one project which meets these requirements and provides an economic
benefit to the City of Spokane Valley. The specific amount of the applicant's proposal is open, to
be defined by the applicant.
Applicants may submit proposals for more than one project but each proposal must be contained
in a separate application thereby allowing for clear understanding of each project.

Project Management:
The City of Spokane Valley Finance Department will issue contracts for approved projects,
reimburse expenses, and monitor contract compliance. Applicants will be reimbursed for
documented project costs, as outlined in the application, up to the amount awarded.
Selection Process:
Each application will be reviewed by the LTAC for eligible activities, the effectiveness of its
proposed project in meeting the expected outcomes, need, and funding requirements. Upon
completion of its review of the written application, all of the applicants are expected to make an
oral presentation to the LTAC in order for it to more fully understand the proposed project. The
LTAC will create a list of candidates and recommended amounts for City Council approval. The
LTAC recommendations will not be subject to review or challenge by the applicants. The City
Council may only approve candidates and the recommended amounts from the list provided by
the LTAC. Council may choose to make awards to all, some, or none of the recommended
candidates in the amounts recommended by the LTAC. Staff will then consult with applicants of
approved projects to develop contracts. After the applicants and the City have signed the
contracts, staff will notify applicants to proceed.
It is very important that applicants are aware that upon being awarded a grant:
1. The grantee must sign a contract with the City.
2. All contracts are reimbursement based; i.e., the grantee must expend funds on approved
items and then seek reimbursement under terms of the governing contract. Grantee will
not be reimbursed if information requested by the City (prior or current year) has not been
provided. Approved items are those that were outlined by the applicant in the application
and oral presentation. Proof of prior payment by the grantee is required in order to
reimburse project expenses.
3. The Finance Department will confirm that applicants submitted a report on 2019
activities, if City lodging tax was used.
Only after these steps are complete is a project grantee authorized to begin incurring costs.
City of Spokane Valley Request for 2020 Grant Page 2 of 8
Other Information:
Insurance: As part of its contract for performance, the City requires contractors to maintain liability
insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 and name the City as an additional insured on its liability
insurance policy. Proof of such insurance must be submitted with the contract, or before funds
are released.
Contract: The City will utilize a standard contract for City -funded lodging tax grant activities.
Payment: Normally, payment is provided once per month or quarter as a reimbursement of
expenses, upon receipt of the City provided reimbursement request cover sheet with an invoice
including appropriate attached backup for the expenses that were incurred, including proof of prior
payment.
Equal Opportunity: No individual shall be excluded from participation in, denied the benefit of,
subjected to discrimination under, or denied employment in the administration of or in connection
with this Agreement in violation of local, state or federal law.
Reporting Requirements: As required by RCW 67.28, as amended by Engrossed Substitute
House Bill 1253 in 2013, grantees are required to report the following post-event/activity

VI. SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED IN YOUR APPLICATION
The Spokane Valley City Council will make the final award of lodging tax revenues to candidates
based upon the recommendations of the LTAC. The City Council has established goals and
priorities for using lodging tax revenues to benefit tourism within Spokane Valley. In addition to
the evaluation criteria outlined in the other sections of this application, the LTAC desires to
understand how the applicant's proposal and project would meet the City Council goals and
priorities. Please explain how the proposal meets City Council goals and priorities, listed below.
Attachments to this section should be labeled "VII. Consideration of City Council Goals
and Priorities"
Council Goals and Priorities for Use of the Initial 2% Lodging Tax
In August 2013 Council for the first time adopted goals and priorities that it encouraged the LTAC
to consider when making award recommendations. Based upon subsequent discussions between
Council and Staff in the years of 2014 through 2019, these have evolved as follows:
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities,
events or festivals that will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in
increases to Spokane Valley tourism. As part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for
the purposes allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by
a municipality or public facility district
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations.
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing
additional visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a
municipality or public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating
a majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose.
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or
marketing program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a
demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays. Council may also take into consideration
to a lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our tourism -based
economy including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane
Valley received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the
Spokane County Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District.

Northwest Winterfest (NWW) will be the premier annual winter festival in our region, featuring local,
regional and international talents, art and crafts, food and entertainment, all happening during the
holiday season. It is inspired by the Award-winning Washington State Chinese Lantern Festival, which
generated a total economic impact of $4.67 million in 2015 for the region.
The impact of NWW on tourism to the City of Spokane Valley and our region will be long-term oriented
as it is an annual event and has a successful track record by its creators. The funding we request will be
used to help marketing the event locally and regionally.

issues as:
a. What it is you wish to do?
Create an annual premier winter festival at Mirabeau Meadows Parks starting from the winter
of 2020.
b. how and why the community will benefit?
1IPage

family friendly. NWW will first celebrate holidays, Thanksgiving, Christmas and New Year being
the anchor holidays, then it is inclusive and welcoming to other holidays such as Hanukkah and
Kwanzaa; NWW is also creative, showcasing holiday spirits in the form of traditional Chinese
Lantern arts; NWW is fun, with annual Christmas Caroling Contest, European Christmas Market,
international food and beverages, local and regional performances, and FIREWORKS; most
importantly, NWW will bring people together, with its holiday culture village with lantern trees
featuring diversified cultural groups in our region.
c. What are the beginning and ending dates of your project?
November 27, 2020 to January 1, 2021.
d. Is it a seasonal activity appropriate to its location?
Yes. And it is also previously approved by City of Spokane Valley Council and Spokane Valley
Parks Department, which manages the uses for the Mirabeau Meadows.
e. If an outdoor activity, are there any weather-related constraints?
The festival is designed and planned to withstand the typical winter weather in our region.
f. What measures will you apply to evaluate its success?
1. Attendance.
2. Reviews by participants on social media platforms.
3. Media coverage.
4. Hotel room nights.
V. IMPACT ON TOURISM Provide a description of the methods used in making the above estimations
as well as a description of the methods that will be used to determine actual attendance and
distinguish among the visitor categories (methods include a head count, car count, survey, or other
with explanation). Attachments to this section should be labeled "V. Impact on Tourism."
Estimations Method: We used the Lodging Tax Report: 2018 Lodging Tax Expenditures Update
compiled by Joint Legislative Audit & Review Committee (JLARC) as the main tool to estimate
"Attendees who traveled 50 miles or more to attend", "Attendees who stayed overnight" and
"Paid Hotel Nights". Rather than using data from the whole state, we used the interactive
dashboard data only from Spokane and Spokane Valley. Based on the total from 2014 to 2018,
we used the percentage of each category to the total attendees to generate the estimates.
Interactive dashboard can be found from the link below:
haps://public.tableau.com/profile/jlarc##1/vizhome/Lodgi ngTaxMunicipaiSurnmary/MurncipalSu
mmary 2
Actual attendance will be obtained by the ticket sales, ticket giveaways and complimentary
entrances for the underserved or special guests; we will work with local tourism agencies and
ticketing agency to identify attendees from over 50 miles radius; we work with hotels and local
tourism agencies to track paid hotel nights.
VII. SPOKANE VALLEY CITY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT SHOULD BE ADDRESSED IN YOUR
APPLICATION The Spokane Valley City Council will make the final award of lodging tax revenues to
candidates based upon the recommendations of the LTAC. The City Council has established goals and
21 Page
priorities for using lodging tax revenues to benefit tourism within Spokane Valley. In addition to the
evaluation criteria outlined in the other sections of this application, the LTAC desires to understand
how the applicant's proposal and project would meet the City Council goals and priorities. Please
explain how the proposal meets City Council goals and priorities, listed below. Attachments to this
section should be labeled "VII. Consideration of City Council Goals and Priorities"
The Northwest Winterfest is inspired by the diversities of cultures, the richness of arts,
hospitalities of our region and the success of Washington State Chinese Lantern Festival. We are
encouraged and motivated by the overwhelmingly positive feedback from people we have
shared the idea with, from the City of Spokane Valley Council, Parks Department, to local
businesses like Mirabeau Park Hotel, to community groups and individuals. We have a vision
that this will come into fruition with the generous support of all of them.
The funding we request will help us start the unique events combining arts, culture, lightings,
holiday celebrations, food and crafts in one location over the holiday period, therefore perfectly
fitting the goal and priorities of lodging tax, as stated in the application "Council desires to direct
awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities, events or festivals that will
distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in increases to Spokane Valley
tourism." Northwest Winterfest is well positioned to grow into an annual premier holiday event
that is based in Spokane Valley, attracting guests from near and far.
Both the Family Guide and WOW China are 501(c)3 organizations with goals for community
contribution.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, WA
2020 Lodging Tax Grant Application
General:
The Spokane Valley Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) was established by the Spokane
Valley City Council in accordance with state law to advise and recommend to the Council how
excise taxes on lodging collected in Spokane Valley should be allocated in order to best increase
tourism in the City.
Purpose:
The purpose of this Request for Grant offered by the City of Spokane Valley is to solicit proposals
from those agencies and groups which encourage tourism in Spokane Valley. The source of funds
is a two percent tax (RCW 67.28.180) on all charges for furnishing lodging at hotels, motels, and
similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of
less than one month. This tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax, so that
the total tax that a patron pays in sales tax and hotel -motel tax combined is equal to what the retail
sales tax would otherwise be in the jurisdiction.
Project Description:
State law allows the use of lodging tax revenues for the following categories:
• Tourism marketing
• The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
• The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by
a municipality or public facility district
• The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations
The expected outcome of such activity is to increase economic activity in the City of Spokane
Valley during 2020 through a variety of activities, such as overnight lodging of tourists ("heads in
beds"), restaurant sales, and retail activity.
Specific questions are included in the attached application to assist in delineating those matters
which are of concern to the LTAC and which will be part of the selection criteria. The application
will develop and outline one project which meets these requirements and provides an economic
benefit to the City of Spokane Valley. The specific amount of the applicant's proposal is open, to
be defined by the applicant.
Applicants may submit proposals for more than one project but each proposal must be contained
in a separate application thereby allowing for clear understanding of each project.

Project Management:
The City of Spokane Valley Finance Department will issue contracts for approved projects,
reimburse expenses, and monitor contract compliance. Applicants will be reimbursed for
documented project costs, as outlined in the application, up to the amount awarded.
Selection Process:
Each application will be reviewed by the LTAC for eligible activities, the effectiveness of its
proposed project in meeting the expected outcomes, need, and funding requirements. Upon
completion of its review of the written application, all of the applicants are expected to make an
oral presentation to the LTAC in order for it to more fully understand the proposed project. The
LTAC will create a list of candidates and recommended amounts for City Council approval. The
LTAC recommendations will not be subject to review or challenge by the applicants. The City
Council may only approve candidates and the recommended amounts from the list provided by
the LTAC. Council may choose to make awards to all, some, or none of the recommended
candidates in the amounts recommended by the LTAC. Staff will then consult with applicants of
approved projects to develop contracts. After the applicants and the City have signed the
contracts, staff will notify applicants to proceed.
It is very important that applicants are aware that upon being awarded a grant:
1. The grantee must sign a contract with the City.
2. All contracts are reimbursement based; i.e., the grantee must expend funds on approved
items and then seek reimbursement under terms of the governing contract. Grantee will
not be reimbursed if information requested by the City (prior or current year) has not been
provided. Approved items are those that were outlined by the applicant in the application
and oral presentation. Proof of prior payment by the grantee is required in order to
reimburse project expenses.
3. The Finance Department will confirm that applicants submitted a report on 2019
activities, if City lodging tax was used.
Only after these steps are complete is a project grantee authorized to begin incurring costs.
City of Spokane Valley Request for 2020 Grant Page 2 of 8
Other Information:
insurance: As part of its contract for performance, the City requires contractors to maintain liability
insurance in the amount of $1,000,000 and name the City as an additional insured on its liability
insurance policy. Proof of such insurance must be submitted with the contract, or before funds
are released.
Contract: The City will utilize a standard contract for City -funded lodging tax grant activities.
Payment: Normally, payment is provided once per month or quarter as a reimbursement of
expenses, upon receipt of the City provided reimbursement request cover sheet with an invoice
including appropriate attached backup for the expenses that were incurred, including proof of prior
payment.

To accomplish this, we will continue to increase our advertising efforts to reach areas in
Western Montana, Idaho, Canada, Eastern Oregon, and canvas the entire state of
Washington. Advertising mediums used will include; social media, radio, television, and print.
With the increase in the use of social media we have enhanced our marketing plan to target
our advertising to those on social media. This is in addition to TV, Radio, and print advertising.
New this year we advertised on Hulu, as well as during NFL and College football games.
Additionally, we will continue to market our Interim Events throughout the year in regional
tourism publications and other media outlets.
Some of our larger Interim Events include: The Big Horn Show in March, with over 30,000
attendees in 4 -days, The Speed and Custom Show in April with over 10,000 attendees in
3 -days, The Farm Chicks in June with over 10,000 attendees in 2 -days and the Goodguys
Rod & Custom Show in August with over 15,000 attendees in 3 -days.
We continue to work with and invite City of Spokane Valley lodging properties to partner with
the Interstate Fair. We include our hotel partners on both of our web sites, year-round
www.fairandexpo.orq and www. interstatefair.orq.
Through our increased marketing efforts and community partnerships we will see more visitors
to the City of Spokane Valley attending the Spokane County Interstate Fair. This, increasing
the number of tourists attending the Interstate Fair and the number of room nights reserved in
the community. Out of town visitors and attendees will also buy gas, eat at area restaurants,
and buy goods and services.

which may include sales of overnight lodging, meals, tours, gifts, or souvenirs. A practical
measure of tourism is the number of visitors that are attracted to the area. Provide an estimated
or "projected" number of visitors who are expected to be attracted by the proposal in the
following categories:

VI. SPOKANE VALLEY CiTY COUNCIL GOALS AND PRIORITIES THAT SHOULD BE
ADDRESSED IN YOUR APPLICATION
The Spokane Valley City Council will make the final award of lodging tax revenues to candidates
based upon the recommendations of the LTAC. The City Council has established goals and
priorities for using lodging tax revenues to benefit tourism within Spokane Valley. In addition to
the evaluation criteria outlined in the other sections of this application, the LTAC desires to
understand how the applicant's proposal and project would meet the City Council goals and
priorities. Please explain how the proposal meets City Council goals and priorities, listed below.
Attachments to this section should be labeled "VII. Consideration of City Council Goals
and Priorities"
Council Goals and Priorities for Use of the initial 2% Lodaina Tax
In August 2013 Council for the first time adopted goals and priorities that it encouraged the LTAC
to consider when making award recommendations. Based upon subsequent discussions between
Council and Staff in the years of 2014 through 2019, these have evolved asfollows:
1. Council desires to direct awards toward funding new and innovative projects, activities,
events or festivals that will distinguish Spokane Valley as a tourism destination and result in
increases to Spokane Valley tourism. As part of this goal, Council will use lodging taxes for
the purposes allowed in State law, which include:
a. Tourism marketing
b. The marketing and operations of special events and festivals
c. The operation and capital expenditures of tourism related facilities owned or operated by
a municipality or public facility district
d. The operation (but not capital expenditures) of tourism related facilities owned or
operated by non-profit organizations.
2. Council will emphasize the utilization of funds for capital expenditures to develop tourism
destination facilities or venues within the City of Spokane Valley as a means of drawing
additional visitors to the City (recognizing that this option is limited to facilities owned by a
municipality or public facility district). Council would like to move in the direction of allocating
a majority of lodging taxes toward this purpose.
3. Council recognizes that lodging nights are an important measure of a successful event or
marketing program and will place higher consideration on events or programs with a
demonstrable history of increasing overnight stays. Council may also take into consideration
to a lesser degree the economic impact of all major components of our tourism -based
economy including shopping, dining and overnight visits.
4. Council will take into consideration revenues derived from lodging sources within Spokane
Valley received by applicants from other municipal entities and agencies such as the
Spokane County Tourism Promotion Authority and Spokane Public Facilities District.

Stability: We would like to work with the committee to ensure stable funding and support of
sports tourism efforts. To secure events, we make significant financial commitments often 2-3
years into the future and need to ensure consistent support from the City of Spokane Valley.
Consistent funding allows us to uphold long-term commitments to our clients—and ultimately
securing predictable business for Spokane Valley hotels and businesses.
Improved Collaboration: Spokane Sports has developed deep-seated relationships with our
clients (regionally, nationally and internationally) but realize we could improve our benefit to
Spokane Valley by achieving greater local collaboration in 2020 and beyond. By teaming with
Visit Spokane, Chamber of Commerce, Area Businesses, and City of Spokane Valley, we can
maximize effectiveness to the Spokane Valley.

IL HISTORY OF SPOKANE SPORTS COMMISSION
pokan2
SPORTS
Incorporated in 1989, the Spokane Sports Commission (SSC) is 501(C)(3) nonprofit economic and
community development agency comprised of civic and business leaders who recognize the
benefits associated with sports and its related activities.
The Spokane Sports Commission was the first Sports Commission established in the
Northwestern states. In regard to sports tourism, Spokane has broken barriers and set records,
time and time again. We have been part of an impressive run of National, International, and
Olympic Trial events while setting attendance records and receiving accolades from governing
bodies of sport.
Today, we face new challenges. Cities and towns across the country have realized the benefit of
sports tourism and are investing more than ever in their regional sports marketing efforts—
including greater funding, newer facilities, sophisticated teams, and innovative ideas.
The competition is fierce when it comes to bidding for sports events. Cities are expected to
contribute significant funds towards hosting and servicing events. The Spokane Sports
Commission has already won many events for 2020, which include future financial commitments
on behalf of the community. These outstanding contracts make future community support
imperative from public funding to private donors.
It is well known that sports improve communities and drives economies. The Spokane Sports
Commission has an experienced team committed to our region's sports community. It's only
with the continued support of our community as a whole that we are able to advance sports in
the Spokane region

III.. PROJECT SU MA
The Spokane Sports Commission provides the leadership and experience to develop, market, and
promote the region as a premier destination for a diverse number of sporting events and their related
activities. Recognizing that competitive sports events bring valuable tourism dollars to the region and
promote a positive image of the community; The Spokane Sports Commission seeks funding in order to
maximize the City of Spokane Valley's competitiveness in the regional, national, and international sports
scene.
Sports Tourism: A Great Investment for Spokane Valley in 2020
The Spokane Sports Commission is a tourism agency charged with generating Lodging Tax revenue and
requires consistent support from the Spokane Valley to continue the cycle of meeting room night goals. It
is a misconception that venues have to be located in the Spokane Valley to make an impact on Spokane
Valley hotels. Regardless of where the event facility is located, attendees choose to stay in various parts
of the region. In 2020, we are estimating $17M in economic impact for the Spokane Valley. This figure
accounts for sports tourism spending throughout the Valley on hotel overnight stays, retail, recreation,
transportation, and meals.
On average, 25-30% of athletes and their travel party choose to stay and spend their money in
the Spokane Valley, regardless of where the event is held in the city. In 2020, we are anticipating
generating nearly 20,000 hotel room night stays for the Spokane Valley.
Spokane Sports Commission Differentiator: One of The Most Experienced Teams in the

promotions, event management, and the hospitality industry. We are one of the most

B. Community Benefit
Drive year-round traffic to Spokane Valley hotels, restaurants, and businesses. In addition, sports
tourism offsets taxes for Spokane Valley residents by generating sales tax revenue that is realized
through attendees patronizing Valley businesses.
• Timeline of Project: Year-round efforts to recruit and execute championships that impact the
Spokane region. Special focus on the 'need period' for Spokane Valley businesses; November-
ApriL
• Seasonal Impact: There are no seasonal limitations to when Sports Tourism can occur.
• Weather-related Constraints: There are no weather-related constraints that impact when Sports
Tourism can occur.
• Measuring Success: Several methods will be utilized to measure the success of Sports Tourism in
the Spokane Valley. Post event, we work with area hoteliers on hotel room night reports to
estimate the total number of hotel rooms a sporting event created in various parts of the city. We
also survey attendees to determine which segment of the economy they spent money on; retail,
accommodations, rental car, entertainment, or recreation. The information is utilized to calculate
the economic impact for each specific event.

V. IMPAC- ON TOURISM
Economic Impact At -A -Glance
The immediate economic boost sports events bring mean a big win for everyone in the Spokane
region, but it's just a small glimpse into the power of sports tourism. Research has shown, sports
tourism has a larger effect on a community. When young athletes, who comprise the workforce
of tomorrow, leave with a positive impression of a community, they use that experience as a
deciding factor on where to live, go to college, or start a career. By building a strong sports
culture, Spokane is developing a base for long-term economic prosperity and growth.

Methodology for Estimating Visitor and Overnight Stays
Attendance and hotel stays are based on hotel/motel data matched against actual registration
numbers of athletes' competing in events to estimate visitor counts. When estimating, the
Sports Commission only measures visitors who have traveled 50+ miles from their point of origin,
the industry standard for requiring an overnight stay.

SPORTS
Sports Tourism Objectives
Before pursuing or developing events, the Sports Commission evaluates the overall community
benefit of each event based on the following criteria— in order of priority:
• Total tourism impact, room nights being a priority
• Time of Year, focus on shoulder season of region from November -April
• Scope of the media and broadcast exposure generated by the event
• Quality of life and entertainment value
• Potential for event management and operational spending locally
• Benefit to local sport programs and/or charities
Positioning: Spokane Valley is Ideal for Athletes
With most events, athletes have the ability to independently choose their hotels, no matter
competition location. It is important to note that sporting events have regional benefits. Events
staged in other areas of the community still positively impact the City of Spokane Valley with
teams and their fans utilizing valley hotel/motel properties, restaurants, and retail centers. The
Valley's numerous high-quality, service -focused hotel properties are typically the first choice for
many sports teams.
Sports Tourism Hotel Selection Priorities:
• Free Parking
• Free Breakfast
• Room Night Cost
• Trusted hotel brands/reward points & perks
• Athletes rent cars and are willing to drive to venues
• East access to grocery stores, dining, entertainment
"Youth and amateur sports tournaments are fairly low -investment opportunities
that smaller communities can explore with large returns. Communities that want
to build their economy by attracting entrepreneurs, first need to find ways to
expose those individuals to their regions. One of those ways is through youth and
amateur sports tournaments." (Chen and Hsu - The Journal of Global Business
Management)

Sports Facilities Objectives
The Spokane Sports Commission's structure builds a broad coalition of civic leaders to help
spawn public/private investment that focuses support in the development and improvement of
regional sports facilities.
Currently, the SSC is engaged in efforts to develop sports venues to attract new events with the
greatest geographic benefit to the Spokane Valley. In addition, these efforts will help meet the
growing demand by Valley sports programs for additional and improved facilities.
"The sports event industry often is said to be recession -resistant, and there are a
number of reasons for this. For example, many events, whether for youth, adult,
amateur, college or professional, must take place every year, so the demand for
tournament venues remains high." (source: Dr. Andrew Zimbalist, Smith College
Economics Department).
Collaborating to Ensure Successful Venues
To attract events, sports venues must be well maintained, properly managed, and most of all,
marketed and ultimately sold—all part of a solid operational plan. We would like to extend our
expertise in sports tourism to the Spokane Valley council as they select and design a venue for
the Spokane Valley to own and operate–specifically designed to generate sports tourism for the
region.
MT Spokane Nordic Center
$5 million expansion of the Nordic ski area to include a new 15K sq.ft. lodge & learning center,
expanded parking, and development of stadium area for start/finish. Once completed, the center
would qualify for an array of major cross-country skiing events. The SSC is working with State Parks
and the Nordic Assn. to help develop a funding strategy while advocating for the project.
Plantes Ferry Sports Complex Renovation
Spokane County Parks has proposed to the Commissioners a $10 million renovation of complex. This
project will significantly upgrade the 5 -softball fields to "tournament quality" allowing the Sports
Commission to pursue major tournaments. When combined with the Merkel Complex fields, the
region will be capable of securing large highly sought-after ASA tournaments. In addition, the project
will convert 2 -soccer fields to artificial turf with lights. This will not only provide opportunities to host
visiting teams and tournaments, but also expand the soccer season for local sports programs. The
SSC is working with the Parks Department to advocate for the project and help secure funding.
HUB Sports Complex Capital Campaign
A key venue for the region, the SSC is currently supporting and has contributed to the HUB capital
campaign. In addition, the SSC supports their grant applications.
