AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing on the proposed 2020 Budget Amendment.
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 2020
Budget when it was adopted on November 12, 2019. On October 27, 2020 an Administrative
Report was delivered to Council regarding the need for a budget amendment.
BACKGROUND: Since the initial adoption of the 2020 Budget on November 12, 2019, a
number of events have transpired in the normal course of operations that necessitate a 2020
Budget amendment. The proposed budget amendments include:
#001 - General Fund
The total of both recurring and nonrecurring revenues reflect an increase of $1,146,900, which
is comprised of:
• $2,848,900 decrease in general sales tax collections due to the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on the economy.
• $128,600 decrease in public safety sales tax collections due to the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on the economy.
• $226,300 decrease in criminal justice sales tax collections due to the effects of the COVID-
19 pandemic on the economy.
• $90,000 decrease in gambling tax collections due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic
on the economy.
• $539,700 decrease in parks and recreation revenues due to the effects of the COVID-19
pandemic on program operations.
• $3,000 increase for a grant from the Department of Ecology to update the City's Shoreline
Master Plan.
• $25,000 increase for a CERB grant to complete an economic development study on the
Appleway Trail.
• $100,000 increase for a grant from the Department of Commerce to complete a Housing
Action Plan.
• $4,352,400 increase for the City's CARES Act allocation of Coronavirus Relief Funds
passed through the Department of Commerce.
• $500,000 increase for potential settlement funds related to the repairs on the City Hall
Chambers east wall.
Provide additional appropriations (expenditures) of $7,082,921 comprised of:
• $33,300 increase in salaries and related payroll taxes and benefits in the City Manager
Department and a corresponding decrease of $16,650 in salaries and related payroll taxes
and benefits in the Engineering Department due to repurposing a vacant Engineer position
to a new Housing and Homeless Services Coordinator position. The remaining difference
was budgeted as personnel costs related to capital projects. The repurposing of this position
has been a discussion topic during the 2021 Budget development process, and the amount
1
proposed to be amended in the 2020 Budget represents approximately 3 months of
expenditures for the new position.
• $274,489 increase in the Public Safety Department due to updated County contract costs.
This includes a decrease of $523,241 in the district court, public defender, prosecutor, and
detention services contracts, an increase of $1,047,730 in the law enforcement contract,
and a decrease of $250,000 in the contingency.
• $15,000 decrease in professional services for the Parks and Recreation Admin Division.
There is a corresponding increase of $15,000 in the nonrecurring transfers out to the Parks
Capital Projects Fund #309 for soil, turf and irrigation to finish a small strip of property
adjacent to the CenterPlace West Lawn improvement project that was not originally included
in the scope of the project.
• $600,000 decrease to the Parks and Recreation Department representing in decreases in
costs due to not being able to run various parks, recreations and aquatics programs
throughout the year as well as having CenterPlace closed to the public due to limitations
from the COVID-19 pandemic.
• $5,000 increase for furniture for the new Housing and Homeless Services Coordinator
position.
• $103,303 increase to move the remainder of the budget for the generators at City Hall
($44,993) and the Precinct ($58,310) into 2020 to allow for residual installation costs that
were not completed during 2019. This is not an increase in the overall cost.
• $60,000 increase to replace the HVAC units at the Precinct.
• $500,000 increase for estimated costs related to repairs for the City Hall Chamber east wall.
• $3,000 increase for an update to the City's Shoreline Master Plan paid for through a grant
from the Department of Ecology.
• $25,000 increase for an economic development study on the Appleway Trail paid for by a
CERB grant.
• $100,000 increase to complete a Housing Action Plan paid for by a grant from the
Department of Commerce.
• $4,352,400 increase for COVID-19 related expenditures paid for through the City's
allocation of CARES Act dollars passed through the State.
• $350,200 increase in transfers out to the Street O&M Fund #101 to cover an increase in the
estimated operating deficit caused by the decrease in fuel taxes from the effects of the
COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.
• $500,000 to replenish the Winter Weather Reserve Fund #122 back to a fund balance of
$500,000. The Street O&M Fund was over budget on snow removal expenditures in 2019 by
about $578,000, of which $500,000 was reimbursed to Fund #101 from Fund #122.
• $121,298 increase in transfers to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 for the Browns Park
2019 improvements. This increase is due to a change in the timing of the project.
• $401,581 increase in transfers to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 for the CenterPlace
west lawn improvements. Except for $15,000 that was discussed above as a decrease to
the Parks and Recreation Admin Division, this does not constitute an increase in the cost of
the project but rather a change in the timing of the costs to reflect the actual timing of the
work.
• $810,000 increase in transfers to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 for the CenterPlace
roof replacement.
• $75,000 increase in transfers to the Parks Capital Projects Fund #309 to cover increased
costs for the Browns Park 2020 improvements due to receiving higher than anticipated bids.
This is being covered by the large decrease in the Parks and Recreation operating budget
for 2020 as discussed above.
2
#101 — Street O&M Fund
Revenues have a net change of $0; however, recurring revenues are estimated to decrease by
$350,200 due to the effects of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy. The decrease is
comprised of $331,700 in motor vehicle fuel taxes and $18,500 in multimodal transportation
revenues. The estimated deficit of $350,200 in operating activity caused by this decrease is
then proposed to be covered by a transfer in from the General Fund in the same amount.

of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.

Decrease revenues by $304,000 reflecting updated estimates of lodging taxes due to the effects
of the COVID-19 pandemic on the economy.

recommendations made by the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) for the 2020 award
year.

#101 from Fund #122.

Monthly Salary Schedule in order to add a Housing and Homeless Services Coordinator
position. It will also close the City Hall Construction Fund #313.
2020 Lodging Tax Grant Awards and LTAC Comments
At the May 5, 2020 meeting, Council reached consensus that it wished to first fund the grant
awards and then transfer any remaining revenues up to $450,000 to Fund #104 if possible. Staff
has determined that the Council recommendation to fund the grant awards but not the
previously approved transfer constitutes a change in the use of revenue as described under
RCW 67.28.1817, which states that the change must be submitted to the LTAC for review and
comment 45 days prior to final action by City Council. Specifically, the LTAC should provide
comments that "include an analysis of the extent to which the proposal will accommodate
activities for tourists or increase tourism, and the extent to which the proposal will affect the
long-term stability of the [lodging tax fund]."
This communication of the change to the LTAC occurred October 15, 2020 at the annual LTAC
meeting regarding the 2021 awards. At that meeting, the LTAC passed a motion recommending
to Council that no transfer to Fund #104 be done in 2020. Instead, the Committee
recommended that after all the grant awards are paid out for 2020 and 2021 any remaining
balance available be transferred to Fund #104 in 2021 so that the ending fund balance is
approximately $165,000 at the end of 2021 in Fund #105. This recommendation is currently
reflected in the 2020 Budget amendment and 2021 preliminary budget as of October 27, 2020.
There is also an attachment to the RCA showing the expected amounts in Fund #105. Staff will
provide the minutes of the October 15th LTAC meeting at a later date.
Council will take formal action on this issue by adopting the 2020 Budget Amendment, which
was scheduled to occur on November 24, 2020. However, due to the 45 day requirement in
RCW 67.28.1817, Council is now scheduled to adopt the 2020 Budget Amendment on
December 8, 2020.
6
OPTIONS: Future options are to accept the proposed amendments in whole or in -part.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: The purpose of this evening's public hearing is to
consider input from the public on the proposed budget amendment and no action is required of
Council at this time. Anticipated future action by the Council includes:
• November 24, 2020 — First reading of Ordinance #20-022 amending the 2020 Budget.
• December 8, 2020 — Second reading of Ordinance #20-022 amending the 2020 Budget.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Once adopted, this action will amend the estimated revenues
and appropriations for the 2020 Budget that was adopted on November 12, 2019. There are
adequate funds available to pay for these amendments.

Chair Mayor Wick called the meeting to order at 8:00 a.m. and welcomed everyone, after which there were
self -introductions. Deputy City Attorney Lamb went through his Open Public Govermnent PowerPoint
training for Committee members and he explained various portions of the Public Records Act, and the Open
Public Meetings Act. Mayor Wick made some opening comments about tax trends and what the COVID
pandemic is doing to the tourism/lodging industry. He also mentioned the TPA's (aka Hotel/Motel
Association) request to the state legislature to change the room tax rates from its current $2.00 a night to
$5.00 a night and that there was a request from the Sports Commission to have the change at $4.00 a night
rather than the $5.00; he said nothing has been finalized. He also mentioned the Council's goals for the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) and said the goals have not changed from the previous year.
Finance Director Taylor went through the information contained in the Memorandum included with the
packet materials, about projected revenues and transfer of funds to Fund 104; followed by Deputy City
Attorney Lamb explaining the use of funds and any proposed changes as per RCW 78.28.1817; he noted
that for this LTAC meeting, committee members should think about how to award for 2021, keeping in
mind impact on 2020 and where the ending cash fund might be as well as uncertainty for cash collections
for 2020 and 2021. Mr. Lamb stated that comments Committee members might want to pass to Council
regarding funding include award recommendations for 2021, as well as any other rnotions or comments,
and that Council will take final action on 2020 through a 2020 budget amendment in December, Mr. Lamb
also noted that regarding the applications, some were for marketing and some for actual operations, and
due to Covid restrictions, some were not able to proceed as planned; he also reminded committee members
the LTAC funds are awarded on a reimbursement basis; so if some applicants used the funds for marketing,
those can be reimbursed, but we will not pay for events that did not occur. Finance Director Taylor said she
has been in contact with all awardees to let them know that the exact amount the City will be paying is
uncertain. Director Taylor also went over the contents of the meeting binder, and mentioned which events
took place and which didn't, and that even though some events didn't take place, some could still have
partial spending, such as Crave NW which didn't occur but did have marketing expenses; she also
mentioned that the NW Winterfest event for this year is still uncertain; she noted the $30,000 set aside for
CenterPlace, which is allowed by state statute as it constitutes historic use of the tax, Director Taylor
mentioned the $710,000 anticipated amounts for 2021, minus the $30,000 to CenterPlace which leaves
$680,000 for award allocations.

LTAC Minutes October 15, 2020 Page 2 of 3
explained she is hesitant to reduce that figure. There was also discussion about the budget and presumed
revenues, and the amount of the cash reserve. There was a great deal of discussion about the overall budget
for the lodging tax fund and fund 104 with discussion focused on whether to make any transfer of funds
into fund 104. Chair Mayor Wick recommended that there be no transfers in 2020 to fund 104. Deputy City
Attorney Lamb said a motion wasn't necessary, as the chair identified the recommendation, or a motion
could be made based on the desire of the committee. There was ultimately consensus from the committee
that LTAC would cancel any transfers from fund 105 to fund 104 in the year 2020.
Lodging Tax advisory Committee members discussion and award recommendations.
Director Taylor then asked each committee member to complete the allocation sheet and that she and Ms.

$224,400. It was moved by Lee Cameron, seconded, and unanimously agreed to accept the average amounts
in the total amount of $224,400. Ms. Taylor said she would email a final distribution sheet to each
committee member.
Discussion resumed about the transfer of fiends and the ending fund balance, which finally culminated in a
motion by Mr. Repetti as follows: It was moved by Mr. Repetti and seconded that all remaining hinds be
transferred to fired 104 after complete adjudication of all awards and allowing a reserve fund balance of
$165,000 at the end of year 2021. Discussion included mention by Director Taylor that getting to exactly
$165,000 would be difficult, and perhaps adding the word `approximately' would be better. It was moved
by Mr. Cameron and seconded to amend the motion by changing the reserve fund balance of $165,000, to
`approximately' $165,000. Vote by acclamation on the amended motion was unanimous in favor.
Committee members then voted by acclamation on the fully amended motion with all members voting

Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security 12
Introduction
Critical government services depend on information technology
systems with confidential information, which must be protected
to avoid service disruptions and financial losses
Governments depend on information technology (IT) systems to deliver an array
of critical functions. The security of IT systems and related data underpins the
stability of government operations, and the safety and well-being of residents.
The public expects governments to protect these systems from IT security
incidents that could disrupt government services. Delivering on that expectation
is paramount to maintaining public confidence.
These IT systems also process and store confidential data. Aside from the
loss of public confidence, a data breach involving this information can cause
governments to face considerable tangible costs, including those associated with
identifying and repairing damaged systems and notifying and helping victims.
Government IT systems and data are attractive targets
for cyberattacks
Government IT systems present a particularly tempting target to cyber
criminals. In addition to selling stolen information for financial gain, attackers
often target government systems with ransomware, essentially rendering IT
systems and data unavailable until the attackers are paid. Because government
IT systems support critical operations, attacked governments are often placed
in the difficult position of either failing to deliver core services or paying an
expensive ransom to the attackers.
Government organizations across the country and around the world have been
critically affected by cybercrime. Since 2017, the United Kingdom's National
Health Service, the cities of Atlanta and Baltimore, Garfield County in Utah,
the Texas judiciary, Texas Department of Transportation and 22 municipalities
in Texas, to name a few, have been attacked with ransomware that crippled or
disrupted their operations.
Washington governments have also been affected by cyberattacks. Since 2016
nine Washington governments have reported data breaches to the Washington
State Attorney General's Office as a result of a cyber-attack. Multiple state
and local governments have also reported cybersecurity incidents to the State
Auditor's Office, including frauds that occurred as the result of cybersecurity
activity and a city whose operations were crippled by ransomware.
To help Washington's local governments protect their IT systems, we offer
them the opportunity to participate in a performance audit designed to identify
opportunities to improve their IT systems.
The City of Spokane Valley chose to participate in this audit.
IT security incident
Any unplanned or suspected
event that could pose a
threat to the confidentiality,
integrity or availability of
information assets.
Data breach
An IT security incident that
results in the confirmed
disclosure of confidential
information to an
unauthorized party.
Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security :: Introduction 13
This audit looked for opportunities to improve the
city's IT security
To help the City of Spokane Valley protect its IT systems and secure the data
it needs to operate, we conducted a performance audit designed to identify
opportunities to improve IT security. This audit answered the following
questions:
• Does the city have vulnerabilities in its IT environment that could lead
to increased risk from external or internal threats?
• Do the city's IT security practices align with selected security controls?
Evaluating effective implementation of IT security practices
To determine if the city has implemented effective IT security practices, we
conducted technical tests to determine if selected controls were implemented
properly and functioning effectively.
Comparing the city's IT security program to leading practices
We assessed the city's IT security policies, procedures and practices relative to
selected leading practices to identify any improvements that could make them
stronger. We selected leading practices from the Center for Internet Security
(CIS) controls, which were developed by a broad community of private and
public sector stakeholders after examining the most common attack patterns.
The CIS Controls are a prioritized list of control areas designed to help
organizations with limited resources optimize their security defense efforts to
achieve the highest return on investment.
We gave city management the results of the tests as they were completed.
Next steps
Our performance audits of local government programs and services are
reviewed by the local government's legislative body and/or by other committees
of the local government whose members wish to consider findings and
recommendations on specific topics. The City of Spokane Valley's legislative
body will hold a public hearing to consider the findings of the audit. Please check
the City of Spokane Valley's website for the exact date, time and location. The
State Auditor's Office conducts periodic follow-up evaluations to assess the status
of recommendations, and may conduct follow-up audits at its discretion. See
Appendix A, which addresses the I-900 areas covered in the audit. Appendix B
contains more information about our methodology.

Audit Results
The results of our audit work and recommendations were communicated to the
City of Spokane Valley management for its review, response and action. We
found that, while the city's IT policies and practices partially align with industry
leading practices, there are areas where improvements can be made. The City
of Spokane Valley has already addressed some issues we identified, and is
continuing to make improvements.
Because the public distribution of tests performed and test results could increase
the risk to the city, distribution of this information is kept confidential under
RCW 42.56.420 (4), and under Generally Accepted Government Auditing
Standards, Sections 9.61-9.67. We shared detailed results with the city.
Recommendations
To help ensure the City of Spokane Valley protects its IT systems and
the information contained in those systems, we make the following
recommendations:
• Continue remediating identified gaps
• Update the city's IT security policies and procedures to align more closely
with leading practices
Auditor's Remarks
The Washington State Auditor's Office recognizes the City of Spokane Valley's
willingness to volunteer to participate in this audit, demonstrating its dedication
to making government work better. It is apparent the city's management
and staff want to be accountable to the citizens and good stewards of public
resources. Throughout the audit, they fostered a positive and professional
working relationship with the State Auditor's Office.

Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security :: Auditee Response 16
Appendix A: Initiative 900
Initiative 900, approved by Washington voters in 2005 and enacted into state law in 2006, authorized the State
Auditor's Office to conduct independent, comprehensive performance audits of state and local governments.
Specifically, the law directs the Auditor's Office to "review and analyze the economy, efficiency, and effectiveness
of the policies, management, fiscal affairs, and operations of state and local governments, agencies, programs,
and accounts." Performance audits are to be conducted according to U.S. Government Accountability Office
government auditing standards.
In addition, the law identifies nine elements that are to be considered within the scope of each performance audit.
The State Auditor's Office evaluates the relevance of all nine elements to each audit. The table below indicates
which elements are addressed in the audit. Specific issues are discussed in the Results and Recommendations
sections of this report.
1-900 element
Addressed in the audit
1. Identify cost savings
2. Identify services that can be reduced or
eliminated
3. Identify programs or services that can be
transferred to the private sector
4. Analyze gaps or overlaps in programs or
services and provide recommendations
to correct them
5. Assess feasibility of pooling information
technology systems within the
department
6. Analyze departmental roles
and functions, and provide
recommendations to change or
eliminate them
7. Provide recommendations for statutory
or regulatory changes that may be
necessary for the department to
properly carry out its functions
8. Analyze departmental performance
data, performance measures, and
self -assessment systems
9. Identify relevant best practices
No. The audit did not identify measurable cost savings. However,
strengthening IT security could help the city avoid or mitigate costs
associated with a data breach or security incident.
No. The audit objectives did not address services that could be reduced or
eliminated.
No. The audit did not identify programs or services that could be
transferred to the private sector.
No. The audit did not identify gaps or overlaps related to program
services.
No. The audit did not assess the feasibility of pooling information systems;
it focused on the city's IT security posture.
Yes. The audit recommended the city evaluate its dedicated IT support by
considering the IT systems and services it uses.
No. The audit did not identify a need for statutory or regulatory change.
No. The audit did not examine performance data or measures, or
self -assessment systems, at the city's IT or IT security departments.
Yes. The audit identified and used leading practices published by the
Center of Internet Security to assess the city's IT security controls.
Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security :: Appendix A 17
Compliance with generally accepted government auditing standards
We conducted this performance audit under the authority of state law (RCW 43.09.470), approved as
Initiative 900 by Washington voters in 2005, and in accordance with Generally Accepted Government
Auditing Standards (July 2018 revision) issued by the U.S. Government Accountability Office. Those
standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain sufficient, appropriate evidence to
provide a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our audit objectives. We believe
that the evidence obtained provides a reasonable basis for our findings and conclusions based on our
audit objectives.
Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security :: Appendix A 18
Appendix B: Scope, Objectives and Methodology
Scope
The audit assessed the extent to which the City of Spokane Valley's IT security programs, including
their implementation and documentation, aligned with selected CIS Controls and their supporting
sub -controls. This audit did not assess the city's alignment with federal or state special data -handling
laws or requirements.
Objectives
To help the City of Spokane Valley protect its IT systems and secure the data it needs to operate, we
conducted a performance audit designed to identify opportunities to improve IT security. This audit
answered the following questions:
• Does the city have vulnerabilities in its IT environment that could lead to increased risk from
external or internal threats?
• Do the city's IT security practices align with selected security controls?
Methodology
To answer the audit objectives, we conducted technical testing on the city's internal network, and we
compared the city's IT security programs to selected leading practices.
Vulnerability testing
To determine if the city has vulnerabilities in its IT environment, we conducted limited technical
analysis of select portions of the city's internal network. We performed this work in March 2020 using
automated tools configured by our IT security specialists. This included identifying vulnerabilities
and assessing them to determine whether they could be exploited.
Comparing the city's IT security programs to leading practices
To determine whether the city's IT security practices align with leading practices, we interviewed key
city IT staff, reviewed the city's IT security policies and procedures, observed city security practices
and settings, and conducted limited technical analysis of city systems. This work was completed at the
city between April and June 2020, with some additional follow-up afterwards.
We used selected controls from the CIS Controls, version 7.1, as our criteria to assess the city's IT
security programs and to identify areas that could be made stronger.
CIS - the Center for Internet Security - is a nonprofit organization focused on safeguarding public
and private organizations against cyber threats. Its CIS Controls are a prioritized set of leading
practices for cyber defense created to stop the most pervasive and dangerous attacks, are informed
by analysis of real -world attack data, and are developed and vetted across a broad community of
government and industry practitioners. Contributors to the CIS Controls have included the U.S.
Department of Defense, the National Security Agency, the U.S. Department of Energy national energy
labs, law enforcement organizations, Verizon, HP and Symantec.
Opportunities to Improve City of Spokane Valley's IT Security :: Appendix B 1 9
Each control consists of a series of sub -controls that are distinct and measurable tasks; when the
sub -controls are implemented together, they fully meet the requirements of the overall control. We
assessed the city against all applicable sub -controls to determine the alignment with each of the
overall controls examined. We did this by assessing the extent to which the city met each sub -control
in three areas:
1. Implementing the sub -control
2. Automating or technically enforcing the sub -control, which minimizes the possibility of the
sub -control failing due to human error or inconsistent processes
3. Maintaining documentation to support the sub -control, such as policies or procedures
We also assessed the extent to which the city's IT management was reporting on the control to
city leadership.
Work on internal controls
This audit assessed the IT security internal controls at the City of Spokane Valley. We used a selection
of controls from the 20 CIS Controls as the internal control framework for the assessment. The first six
are considered among the most important controls to put in place to protect an organization. Based
on an initial assessment, we selected four of the top six controls to include in the scope. To protect the
city's IT systems, and the confidential and sensitive information in those systems, this report does not
identify the specific controls assessed during the audit. We completed our assessment for the purpose
of identifying opportunities for the city to improve its internal IT security controls but not to provide
assurance on the city's current IT security posture.

NON -ACTION ITEMS:
3. Code Text Amendment 2019-0005, Subdivision Regulations — Connor Lange
After Planner Lange went through his PowerPoint explaining about the amendments for subdivision
regulations, there was Council consensus to proceed to an ordinance first reading.
4. 2021 State Legislative Agenda — Cary Driskell, John Hohman, Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said tonight's agenda represents our second of three planned opportunities to discuss
our proposed 2021 State Legislative Agenda, with the third opportunity November 17 when this comes
before Council for a motion consideration; he said that once adopted, we will share the agenda with the 4th
District Legislators, and will look to meet with them before mid -December and well in advance of the 2021
legislative session. City Attorney Driskell went over the items on the agenda, with emphasis on the
transportation issues; he added that staff has been working with representatives from the Washington State
Department of Transportation (WSDOT) on the Flora Park Property and said our City ranked 23 out of 80
to receive a $2 million grant for that property to reimburse the City for a portion of the purchase costs;
adding that he thinks we are pretty well situated with the project. Deputy City Manager Hohman went
through the PowerPoint slides and said he has been discussing the project with the Board of County
Commissioners and the fairground staff about what it would take to improve some of that property; said
the County CEO is very supportive and ready to have their lobbyist work with our Lobbyist Briahna Murray
to move this forward; said parking would not be included at this time, however, that issue could be re-
examined later if this moves forward. There was Council consensus to move forward with the proposal as
part of the 2021 Legislative Agenda, and Mr. Hohman said staff will continue to work with Spokane County
to further develop the project and partnership details.
Deputy Mayor Peetz expressed concern with asking for $10 million when we only have $3 million; and
said she thinks we should not bond the project; said the County is not contributing financially and the
legislators want to see regional coordination; said she is glad we are not adding the parking lot, and would
rather have a backup or something else. Mr. Calhoun asked Deputy Mayor Peetz if she has an idea for a
project; and she again expressed her desire for a backup plan since the County is not contributing
financially. Deputy City Manager Hohman explained that the County is contributing financially as they
own the property and the property has value, which can be seen as a contribution; that there is a commitment
to own and operate the project so they will have operation and maintenance costs as well as utility and
staffing costs for this building. There was concern expressed by Councilmember Woodard about a backup
idea; that we don't want to 'bait and switch' and therefore, suspects we should go for it and if it doesn't go,
we could start again next year; he said we have made no commitment to proceed, and said he thinks it
should be on the legislative agenda. Councilmember Haley said she is torn on this item; that legislators
want to put people to work right away to supply an economic benefit for the community, and things have
been hugely impacted by Covid; she also said this seems almost a perfect fit; said the County will be using
their lobbyist, and she feels this should be on the legislative agenda. Councilmember Thompson asked if
we have reached out to Senator Billig for his support and Mr. Calhoun said staff thought reaching out to
legislators would be premature not knowing if Council agrees with this; but once adopted, he envisions we
will have lots of zoom meetings with lots of legislators. The question came up again about the County

putting this on their legislative agenda; and Mr. Hohman noted if Council includes it on our agenda, they
will do likewise.
Mayor Wick mentioned the idea of having an expo -type area or open space and Mr. Hohman said that the
majority of open space would accommodate additional programs with different events; and said the building
would also have an actual new entrance aside from the existing gate; and the area for a restaurant would
include outdoor seating; said there is also potential for some office space for fair individuals who operate
the facility; again, adding that this is just a concept. Again, Mr. Calhoun said the idea is to first have both
us and the County include this on the respective agendas, and then find out how much they might be willing
to allocate toward this project. Mayor Wick noted when he was on the fair board several years ago, they
lost some shows because of the lack of a break-out meeting space/conference center; and suggested maybe
talking to Visit Spokane to see about the demand for such a space.
There was discussion about the financing; that we and the County should use the services of our respective
lobbyists since we pay them for their expertise in these areas; whether to seek $3 million or $5 million; and
that we don't want to seem overly aggressive; discussion about this project compared to others; and whether
we need to propose a figure. Mr. Calhoun said in talking with Lobbyist Murray, she felt $3 million is more
realistic, but $5 million won't get us kicked out of the running. It was ultimately decided to use $4 million.
Mr. Calhoun said staff will put together a one -page flyer similar to that done for the Pines Grade Separation
Project flyer. The idea of public/private partnerships was also bantered about and Mr. Calhoun said he will
note that as something to pursue as the project evolves.
Councilmember Woodard was zooming in from elsewhere and noted he was having difficulty with his
zoom connection. Councilmember Woodard then excused himself at 7:15 p.m. from the remainder of the
meeting. Mr. Driskell asked about the other policy items and there were no objections from Council to
move forward. Councilmember Thompson suggested having contact information on the one page flyer for
a person to call, with perhaps contact information for the lobbyist or the City Manager.
5. Donation Recognition & Facility Naming Protocol — Cary Driskell, Mike Stone
Mr. Driskell and Mr. Stone went over the information contained in the Request for Council Action about
new proposed criteria for Council to consider when it comes to naming such things as parks; and also went
over the proposed changes in 3.34 SVMC concerning the donation process. Mr. Driskell emphasized that
when someone makes a donation, it becomes the property of the City and the City gets to say what happens
to it. Councilmember Thompson said she wants to make sure we are respectful of all cultures and perhaps
add something to that effect that we are a respectful community and are inclusive of all cultures. Mr.
Driskell said he will look at that, adding that the more criteria there is the more you have to be careful not
to have unintended consequences; and said he will make sure the language is appropriate and neutral. There
was Council consensus to bring this item forward for an ordinance first reading.
6. Parliamentary Processes — Chris Bainbridge
City Clerk Bainbridge went over some of the Parliamentary processes Council experiences during meetings.
7. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
8. Council Comments — Mayor Wick
Councilmember Hattenburg mentioned that CenterPlace will be a temporary voting center, run by the
County Elections Department; and that this temporary voting center will remain open until 8 p.m. on
November 3, 2020. Councilmember Thompson mentioned some of the problems with the remote meeting
concerning Mission Park Horse Arena. Mayor Wick brought up the roof project for CenterPlace and City
Manager Calhoun noted we live in a low -bid world; that our engineers and Mr. Hohman have been in

contact with the contractor and we understand the intent is to finish by October 30; he noted we also have
staff inspectors at the project.
9. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Attorney Driskell mentioned the previous TPA (Tourism Promotion Area) report about requesting a
change to the room assessment from $2 to $4 a night, as well as some other changes. He again noted any
change requires a change in the Interlocal, which also must be approved by our City as one of the
signatories; said there were three items to discuss: having our own Spokane Valley zone; the desire for
more accurate and more reporting, perhaps quarterly; and the current lack of a termination provision. Mr.
Driskell said the City of Spokane also would like better reporting; the TPA said they are not supportive of
a Spokane Valley only zone but suggested a zone for each assessment amount; and also that the TPA is not
supportive of adding a termination provision. Mr. Driskell said he explained that Council desires having
more of an active role in this interlocal; he also suggested a two-year termination window and said the TPA
said they will consider the request. Mr. Driskell said he has not heard back from the City or the County on
that issue. Mr. Driskell said another reason for our own zoning district is that it would give us a better idea
of the revenue coming into our City. Councilmembers nodded in agreement to continue to pursue that and
Mr. Driskell said he would keep Council apprised.
City Manager Calhoun brought up the previous discussion of the renewal of the federal lobbyist contract
with Cardinal; said they are agreeable to renew for 2021 and when asked to consider reducing the amount
we paid due to no travel because of the pandemic, Cardinal indicated they will be willing to cut our 2021
fee by 25%, which results in a $19,500 decrease. Mr. Calhoun stated that the special meeting with
Representative Cathy McMorris-Rodgers will be Thursday at 1:30 via zoom; and that an agenda was e-
mailed out today; he said that due to her schedule, the meeting will last thirty minutes, and Mayor Wick
will manage that meeting to keep us within Representative McMorris-Rodgers' time constraints.
Councilmember Thompson mentioned the annual Christmas tree lighting, and Mr. Calhoun said per the
Governor's orders, we are still prohibited from outdoor gatherings of more than about five so there is no
way to hold that event this year; but we still plan to decorate the building.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 7:55 p.m.

WELCOME: Mayor Wick welcomed everyone to the meeting, and thanked Representative McMorris-
Rodgers and Mr. Patrick Bell for attending.
Spokane Valley Federal Legislative Agenda: Mayor Wick briefly went over the transportation projects
noted on the Legislative Agenda, and Deputy City Manager Hohman explained more about the Bigelow
Sullivan joint project with Spokane County. Representative McMorris-Rodgers mentioned that she was
informed by Secretary of Transportation Elaine Chao that someone in her office would be willing to review
these projects and give insights. Mr. Hohman mentioned that we have taken advantage of those services,
have developed a good rapport with Ms. Chao, and have an upcoming conversation scheduled to discuss
the Pines Grade Separation. The Pines Road/BNSF Railroad Grade Separation Project was also briefly
discussed with Mr. Hohman explaining that we are making very good progress; that HDR Engineering is
in the design stage; that we were fortunate to have obtained some large parcels needed for the north piece
roundabout; that there have been ongoing discussions with Avista and BNSF on a piece of property; and
that there is a potential for a donation from Avista provided we put in parking and a new connection to the
Centennial Trail; adding that we are short of the actual construction funds at this time.
Distribution of CARES Act Funds: Mayor Wick thanked Representative McMorris-Rodgers for her
efforts; that we were initially allocated about $4.7 million, then were allocated an additional $1.4 million
later; and he briefly mentioned some of the information contained on the Request for Council Action form.
At 1:46 p.m., via phone-in, Councilmember Thompson mentioned that she had been attempting to get into
the meeting, and was able to hear the meeting; she noted the CARES funds helped with physical and mental
health issues as many people in our community need treatment and many are falling out of recovery.
Representative McMorris-Rodgers extended thanks to Council for their work and said she appreciates
hearing about the CARES funding; said Congress continues working on an additional relief package and
she is hopeful that will be forthcoming perhaps after the election; said she met with the Director of
Agriculture who told her that prior to COVID, about 700,000 people got food from food banks, and today

that number is about 2.2 million; said she appreciates our City allocating funds to help with internet, and
the COVID has shown us the importance of closing that digital divide and said that will be a big priority in
the next package; and added of course there are always more projects then funds can cover.
Mayor Wick again thanked Representative McMorris-Rodgers for her time today.
It was moved by Councilmember Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

said if people have extra yard clippings, they can put them out in paper bags, not plastic, and place them
outside the bin if necessary and they will be picked up for no additional charge; and that the missed pickup
was due to snow.
MAYOR'S REPORT
Mayor Wick said that the GMA (Growth Management Act) land swap was pretty much straight forward
and was also part of the settlement agreement that the County had; said they welcomed Commissioner
Kuney as the new chair for next year; said he, the Commissioner, and Mayor Woodward attended the
Regional Homelessness Leadership meeting and discussed the different homelessness activities; said the
County allocated CARES funds to purchase the Mission facility which was slated to use as a youth shelter,
which was then turned into a regular shelter then into a bridge shelter, but the County had put in the
provision that they were going to own the building and then use the CARES funds to do that, but the County
changed their mind so they don't want to own the building, neither does the city of Spokane, so they brought
on the Salvation Army and it might go to them to purchase with CARES funds. Mayor Wick said the
Lodging Tax Advisory Committee meeting had good discussions; said it is interesting to see new
improvements at Felts Field and maybe an upcoming air show on Labor Day weekend; he mentioned the
Freight Stakeholders Committee is trying to figure out the future for freight dollars from the federal to the
state; there was also discussion on whether there should be an expanded role for the freight mobility
strategic investment board or the creation of a separate freight stakeholders committee board.
Mayor Wick mentioned a letter he received from the County regarding the City of Spokane proposing a
utility tax on sewer facilities. City Manager Calhoun said he had planned to talk about that during his
comments later tonight, and handed the floor to City Attorney Driskell. Mr. Driskell said this is an emerging
issue; that the City of Spokane seeks to impose a 20% utility tax on the sewer facility located in their city
but owned by the County, and he explained that sewage discharge goes to that facility; he said they are still
looking at that issue to identify City options; said he has been talking to other potentially affected
jurisdictions to see their intentions and that more information will be coming shortly as the City of Spokane
needs to address this as part of their budget adoption, which usually occurs the first week or so in December.
Mayor Wick said the County's letter suggested the County be included in those discussions and said he
feels our City should also be included as this will affect many of our residences and businesses. City
Attorney Driskell said he is preparing a letter for Council for next week and Mr. Calhoun agreed we very
much want to be included in discussing this issue. On a different topic, Mayor Wick said there has been a
request from the Human Rights Task Force to give a report, which will be on an upcoming agenda.
PROCLAMATION: National American Indian Heritage Month
After Mayor Wick read the proclamation, Ms. Janet Ulbright from the Regent May Hutton Chapter of the
Daughters of the American Revolution, said she had requested this proclamation and expressed her
appreciation to the Mayor and Council and said this will help raise awareness.
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 11l: After Mayor Wick read the process for making
comments, City Clerk Bainbridge mentioned there was to have been comments from a Mr. Matt Chapman,
but he was having difficulty getting into the meeting, and IT Manager Knodel added that neither of the two
phone numbers we have for Mr. Chapman were showing up in the zoom meeting. City Clerk Bainbridge

acknowledged a written comment she e-mailed to Council which was received from Mr. Ethan LeGrand of
Apex Steel who expressed his concern with a private development using out-of-state contractors.
1. PUBLIC HEARING #2 — 2021 Proposed Budget — Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Wick opened the public hearing at 6:24 p.m. Finance Director Taylor went through the information
included on her Request for Council Action, followed by the PowerPoint. Director Taylor said there was a
change regarding a transfer from the hotel motel fund 105 to tourism fund 104 after receiving comments
and a recommendation from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) at their October 15 meeting,
and said she will have more specific details later. Mayor Wick opened the floor for public comments, and
City Clerk Bainbridge noted we received requests for comments from two people, Mr. Bob West, and Ms.
Barb Howard.
Mr. Bob West, Spokane Valley: said according to the Spokesman Review, Councilmembers Higgins and
Woodard said they would not vote for the 2021 budget as Council needs to find sustainable ways to maintain
our city streets; said those Councilmembers have been on the Council for a considerable time but now they
want to hold the budget hostage and vote against it; said they did not object to the recent land purchase, and
that Councilmember Woodard said the general fund should not pay for roads and that they both argued for
a utility tax with a cap to prevent large companies from bearing the large burden; and he suggested Council
hold a community workshop.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: said she went through the vouchers and noticed the voucher for the
work crew and said the work crew should be paid as part of our contract with the Sheriffs Office; mentioned
we will lose 34 deputies and already lost 13, so all total we will lose 47, which means overtime will have
to be figured into the budget; mentioned the SCOPE money and that also should be included in the contract.
There were no further comments and Mayor Wick closed the public hearing at 6:42 p.m.
2. CONSENT AGENDA: Consists of items considered routine which are approved as a group. Any
member of Council may ask that an item be removed from the Consent Agenda to be considered separately.

5. First Reading Ordinance 20-016 Declaring Substantial Need — Chelsie Taylor
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to
advance ordinance #20-016, making a declaration of substantial need for the purpose of setting the limit
factor for the property tax levy for the 2021 tax year, to a second reading. Finance Director Taylor explained
the reason for this ordinance; that the potential increase in the property tax levy is limited by state law to
the lesser of the increase in the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD), which is a measure of inflation, or 1%; the
increase in the IPD for the 2021 tax year was just issued and is .602%; as such, the increase in the property
tax levy or the increase in the City's banked capacity is limited to .602%; that if the City wanted to increase
the property tax levy or bank excess capacity greater than the IPD of .602% up to 1%, a second property
tax ordinance must be passed demonstrating substantial need for the increased limit. Ms. Taylor said the
support for substantial need is the City's uncertain economic conditions and revenue collections due to the
effect of the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as increasing costs in excess of inflation in areas such as public
safety, labor and benefits, and other general fund services and supplies. She said this would not affect our
2021 property tax but would allow us to bank up to that limit as noted in the chart contained in the Request
for Council Action. She also noted the ordinance would need to be passed by a majority plus one of the
Councilmembers, or five Councilmembers. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor:
unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
6. First Reading Ordinance 20-017 Property Tax Ordinance — Chelsie Taylor
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to
advance ordinance #20-017 levying regular property taxes for 2021, to a second reading. Finance Director
Taylor explained about this ordinance, and that we are once again not taking the 1% property tax increase
permitted by law. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed:
none. Motion carried.
7. Motion Consideration: Amending WSDOT Interlocal for Regional Decant Facility - Bill Helbig

complete improvements at the Decant Facility by providing a canopy as envisioned in the engineering study
and design. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none.
Motion carried.
8. Motion Consideration: City Hall Holiday Closure — Mark Calhoun
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to authorize the closure of City Hall and CenterPlace,
at noon Wednesday, November 25, 2020, to allow staff time to prepare for their Thanksgiving Holiday; to
close City Hall and CenterPlace for the entire day on Thursday, December 24, 2020, and to close at noon
Thursday, December 31, 2020; that this closure will affect only normal administrative .functions of the City,
however, all pre -planned events at CenterPlace will take place as scheduled. City Manager Calhoun
explained that this comes up each year about this time, and this motion is similar to what Council has
adopted the past few years. Mayor Wick invited public comment. It was noted one person signed up to
comment: Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: said the city employees work hard and suggested perhaps
giving them all day Wednesday before Thanksgiving. There were no other public comments. There was
brief Council discussion. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 121: Mayor Wick explained that the same process
applies to this comment opportunity as he explained for the first. One person signed up to speak: Ms. Barb
Howard, Spokane Valley: thanked Council for what they are trying to do for staff; said she worries about
the aquifer and the sewer hookups and questioned how the aquifer can be protected with so many
motorhomes parked along the street; she again mentioned the Sheriff's Office contract with the city and of
the anticipated large amount of overtime for deputies; and said she worries about not having enough water.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
9. 2020 Budget Amendment — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor went over the information included in the Request for Council Action listing the
proposed amendments, including the funds associated with Hotel/Motel tax and of discussions about the
2020 awards in light of the pandemic and associated reduced revenues; she said that Council had previously
decided to first fund all the grants then transfer any remaining funds up to the $450,000 into fund 104 if
possible; said that staff determined that according to state law, it constituted a change in use of revenues so
it had to go back to the LTAC; said the LTAC then has 45 days prior to Council taking any action; she
mentioned the October 15 LTAC meeting was told about that change and the committee recommended no
money be transferred in 2020 into fund 104, but instead after all the grants were to be awarded in 2020 and
2021, and that any remaining funds be transferred into 104 leaving about $165,000 in reserves; which she
said is currently reflected in the 2020 budget amendment, as well as the 2021 preliminary budget. Director
Taylor said to adhere to the 45-day requirement, Council will now be considering adopting the 2020
amendment in December instead ofNovember. Director Taylor continued explaining the proposed changes
and mentioned a new fund of 108; noted the change in the salary schedule to accommodate the new position,
and said that there will be another item to add to the 2020 budget.
Deputy City Manager Hohman stated that over about the last five years, we have rented a loader from Poe
Construction to load up the sanding trucks with de-icing at the shop; that we were just notified that Poe is
going to surplus that piece of equipment as they will purchase a new loader, which they do not want to rent
to us due to the nature of corrosive materials we would load; said we have been offered to purchase the
truck for $35,000, and a typical 1996 new truck would be about $170,000; said this is in good mechanical
condition, recently had a transmission re -build and it works well; said he feels it would be prudent to make
the purchase from Poe; said all the buckets and attachments would interchange with this and our existing
backhoe; that this is something we need and the price is reasonable, and said he is looking for Council's
input on the purchase. Director Taylor said looking at the equipment rental and replacement fund, there are
enough surplus funds to cover the cost of this equipment. Several Councilmembers voiced their opinion
that this is a great deal and feel we would get many serviceable years from this piece of equipment.
Councilmember Thompson asked about the procurement policy and if we need to advertise. Director Taylor
said she thinks for bids under about $40,000, we can get quotes, but said she would need to verify. City
Attorney Driskell said he feels Ms. Taylor is correct on the amount but that staff will double check. Mr.
Calhoun said he will ask Ms. Taylor and Mr. Driskell to verify the amount and then e-mail council the
information. There was no objection to include that in the expenditure increase.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda, however the subject of bidding requirements
was broached and Mr. Calhoun noted the e-mail from the steel company about a private project and private
development; he also noted that we must follow state regulations concerning bidding including the
regulation that we must take the lowest responsive bidder, which he explained means the taxpayer gets the

working on next summer.

Council) concerning the appointment of a representative to their task force for the purpose of defining the
terms and conditions of tribal membership in SRTC; and said this will come before Council as a motion
next week, which will be handled like all other committee assignments.
EXECUTIVE SESSION: [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i)] Pending Litigation

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading of Ordinance #20-016 Declaring Substantial Need
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 84.55 RCW Limitations Upon Regular Property Taxes
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2021 Budget development process there
have been discussions regarding the 2021 property tax levy including a public hearing on
September 22nd, and an administrative report on September 29t". There was a first reading of
this ordinance declaring substantial need as well as a first reading of the ordinance levying 2021
property taxes at the October 27th Council meeting.
BACKGROUND:
State law requires that the City pass an ordinance that establishes a property tax levy, and per
our 2021 Budget calendar we are scheduled to adopt this legislation on November 10, 2020.
The potential increase in the property tax levy is limited by State law to the lesser of the
increase in the Implicit Price Deflator (IPD), which is a measure of inflation, or 1%. The increase
in the IPD for the 2021 tax year was issued on September 25, 2020, and it is 0.602%. As such,
the increase in the property tax levy or the increase in the City's banked capacity is limited to
0.602%.
If the City wanted to increase the property tax levy or bank excess capacity greater than the IPD
of 0.602% up to 1%, a second property tax ordinance must be passed demonstrating
substantial need for the increased limit. As has been discussed by Council throughout the 2021
Budget development process, the proposed property tax levy for 2021 does not include any
increase from the 2020 levy (except the increase from new construction); therefore if a second
property tax ordinance were passed it would just bank the excess capacity up to 1%, not
increase the property tax levy. This second ordinance would need to be passed by the majority
plus one of the Councilmembers, which is 5 Councilmembers for the City of Spokane Valley.
The following table demonstrates the estimated banked capacity for the City at an increase of
0.602% and 1%;

(1) 2020 Highest Lawful Levy per the Spokane County Assessor's Office.
(2) Above calculation of the 2021 Highest Lawful Levy includes the Spokane
County Assessor's estimation of new construction as of 9/17/20, but does not
include an estimation of the increase in state assessed values, which will have
an effect on the Highest Lawful Limit calculation.
The difference in the estimated banked capacity for the City between the calculation at the 1%
limit and the IPD limit of 0.602% is just over $53,300. If Council approves the Ordinance
declaring substantial need, this amount would be available for future potential use by the City.
There is no official definition of substantial need provided in state law. This being the case, a
jurisdiction approving a declaration of substantial need must document its support of the
declaration in the ordinance. The draft ordinance included in the agenda packet this evening
lists the support for substantial need as being the City's uncertain economic conditions and
revenue collections due to the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic as well as increasing costs in
excess of inflation in areas such as public safety, labor and benefits, and other General Fund
services and supplies.
OPTIONS: Approve Ordinance #20-016 with or without modifications, or reject the proposed
ordinance to keep the limit factor for the 2021 property tax levy at 0.602%.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance #20-016 making a
declaration of substantial need for the purpose of setting the limit factor for the property tax levy
for the 2021 tax year.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2021 Budget includes estimated property taxes in the
amount of $12,724,200. The declaration of substantial need would not affect the 2021 budgeted
amount; however, it would maintain the City's banked capacity at a higher amount which would
be available for future use by the City.

• The first reading of Ordinance #20-017 on October 27tn
BACKGROUND:
2021 Levy and Estimated Rate per $1,000 of Assessed Value
• State law requires that the City pass an ordinance that establishes a property tax levy, and per
our 2021 Budget calendar we are scheduled to adopt this legislation on November 10, 2020.
• State law limits the increase in the property tax levy to the lesser of the increase in the Implicit
Price Deflator (IPD), which is the specific measure of inflation used by the State for property tax
increases, or 1%. The IPD rate for the 2021 tax year was issued on September 25, 2020, and it
is 0.602%, meaning that the City's allowed increase is limited to 0.602% for 2021 without the
passage of a second ordinance declaring substantial need to keep the limit factor at 1%. The
second ordinance would need to be approved by a majority plus one of Councilmembers.
• Our proposed 2021 property tax levy does not include the increase allowed by State law.
• The levy will include property taxes on new construction.
• With the passage of this ordinance we estimate the City will collect between $12,676,166
(based upon the most recent Spokane County estimate) and $12,724,226 (based upon the City
estimate). These estimates are computed as follows:

48,060
• The $48,060 difference between the two revenue figures is a result of the differences in the
estimated new construction.
• Because Spokane County figures are still preliminary and don't include administrative refunds
and other adjustments, I recommend we stay with the City of Spokane Valley estimate.
• This levy is based upon a September 17th update to the preliminary estimate of assessed
property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of $11,505,109,472.
1
• Total property tax revenue of $12,724,226 on preliminary assessed values of $11,505,109,472
will produce a levy of approximately $1.105963 per $1,000 of assessed value in 2021
($12,724,226 / ($11,505,109,472/1,000) = $1.105963).
• The 2021 estimated levy rate of $1.105963 per $1,000 is $0.109605 less than the 2020 levy
rate of $1.215568.
• It is important to note that this estimate is based upon the Assessor's latest preliminary
projections of assessed value as of September 17, 2020. A change in any of the elements
including assessed value, new construction estimate and/or a change in the amount of our
proposed levy will change the levy rate per $1,000.
Banked Capacity
Banked capacity is the difference between what the City could levy (the Highest Lawful Levy) and
what it actually does. In any case, the City of Spokane Valley's maximum levy rate is $1.60 per
$1,000 of assessed value. Any amount levied that is less than Highest Lawful Levy represents
"banked capacity." Included in the analysis below is history of Spokane Valley levies including
seven years of actual figures (2014 through 2020) and a preliminary estimate for 2021:

Figures reflected for the 2021 levy are preliminary and subject to change. The taxable value is the prelminary estimate provided
by the Spokane County Assessor. The highest lawful levy was calculated by the Spokane County Assessor as of Sep. 17, 2020.

• Generally speaking, you'll note there is a direct relationship between the Taxable Value listed in
column A, and the Banked Capacity in columns H and I. In other words, as the Taxable Value
increases the Banked Capacity also increases. This did not hold true for 2016 due to the
Implicit Price Deflator (IPD) being less than 1%, which held the Highest Lawful Levy to a lower
dollar value.
• Alternatively though, there is an inverse relationship between the directions of the Taxable
Value in column A and the Levy Rate per $1,000 in column F. In other words, as the Taxable
Value increases (as is the case in 2020) the Levy Rate per $1,000 decreases. Essentially what
occurs in this case is that even though the Levy Rate per $1,000 may decrease, the actual
amount paid by a property owner may not change significantly because the value of the
property has increased. By the same token, as the economy declines and Taxable Values
decrease, the Levy Rate per $1,000 will likely increase.
• In the years the City does not levy the increase in property tax revenue that is allowed by State
law (the lesser of the increase in the IPD or 1%), that potential increase is "banked" for
potential future use.
• The estimated banked capacity shown above in the table is calculated based on a 1% property
tax increase limit. If a second ordinance declaring substantial need is not approved by Council,
the estimated banked capacity will be calculated at 0.602%, which would be about $778,076.
• The banked capacity can be accessed by the City through the annual property tax levy
ordinance adopted by the Council. However, the City may only take the banked capacity up to
a level where the levy rate per $1,000 of assessed value does not exceed $1.60.
• Accessing the banked capacity does not mean we can go back in time and collect the property
taxes we've left behind. It simply means we can reset the base upon which the calculation is
made.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading of Ordinance 20-018 - recognition of donors and authorizing
sponsorships.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020; RCW 35.21.100; chapter 3.34 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: April 19, 2017 administrative report; June 6, 2017 adopted
Ordinance 17-009 Acceptance of Donations; October 20, 2020 administrative report proposing amendments to
chapter 3.34 SVMC; first reading of Ordinance 20-018.
BACKGROUND: In 2017, Council adopted chapter 3.34 SVMC to provide a specific process for the City to
accept donations, in whatever form they may take. In many instances, donations may have conditions or
additional costs that must be incurred in order to be able to use the donation, which must be carefully considered
when weighing whether to accept a donation. Chapter 3.34 SVMC has allowed the City to better manage
donations made by generous individuals and businesses seeking to make Spokane Valley a more livable
community. As staff has used chapter 3.34 SVMC, it became clear that the prior work was just the first step of
what would have to be done. Staff looked at what other jurisdictions have adopted in terms of sponsorships and
recognizing donors.
On October 20, 2020, staff presented an administrative report to Council with proposed amendments to chapter
3.34 SVMC. Overall, Council was supportive of the proposed policy. The attached draft Ordinance 20-018
would amend chapter 3.34 SVMC and accomplish two goals: (1) establish a policy to recognize donors who
provide a monetary gift of at least $5,000; and, (2) authorize sponsorships.
Under draft Ordinance 20-018, donors providing a monetary gift of at least $5,000 may elect to have a dedicatory
plaque made in recognition of their donation. The plaque must conform to the standards outlined in the draft
Code language. All costs associated with creating, installing, and replacing plaques are placed with the donor.
The City would assume ownership and maintenance of the plaque.
Additionally, Ordinance 20-018 would authorize the City to engage in sponsorships for special events and
programs recognized as fundraising events. With the new proposed policy, the City Manager would be
responsible for creating the appropriate administrative policies and procedures for accepting sponsorships. Also,
the City Manager would periodically make sponsorship opportunities available.
OPTIONS: (1) Approve Ordinance 20-018 as drafted; or (2) take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance No. 20-018 amending chapter 3.34
SVMC relating to recognition of donors and authorizing sponsorships.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Not applicable.

WASHINGTON, ADOPTING AMENDMENTS TO CHAPTER 3.34 OF THE SPOKANE
VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE TO CREATE DONOR RECOGNITION AND
SPONSORSHIP POLICIES, AND OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley previously adopted chapter 3.34 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code relating to the acceptance of donations and gifts from private citizens; and
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley recognizes that additional Code provisions would provide
greater clarity and guidance for those seeking to provide donations and sponsorships to the City, and for
the City to properly acknowledge such donations and sponsorships; and
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley recognizes the importance of community involvement
and active participation throughout the community, including providing opportunities for donations and
sponsorships that benefit the entire community; and
WHEREAS, the proposed changes are in the best interest of the health, safety, and welfare of the
citizens of the City.
NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, ordains as follows:
Section 1. Amendment. Chapter 3.34 of the SVMC is hereby amended as follows:
3.34.010 Definitions.
"Donation" means any monetary or nonmonetary gift, grant, devise, or bequest to the City. A monetary
donation includes cash or a check, money order, or any other negotiable instrument. A nonmonetary
donation includes any real or personal property, including art.
"Donor" means the person providing a donation to the City.
"Plaque" means a flat plate containing information that is either engraved or in bold relief that may be
affixed to a park asset or displayed in a public place as a form of recognition.
"Practical use" means a use of a nonmonetary donation to the City that balances how the City may use a
donation, relative to any costs the City may incur to store, maintain, or use the nonmonetary donation. This
concept of practical use is intended to be a balancing test of the totality of all known factors relating to a
potential donation's usefulness to the City.
"Sponsorship" means a financial or in -kind support from a person for a specific service, program, facility,
park, or event in return for certain benefits.

3.34.020 Administration of donations.
The city manager shall have the responsibility for the administration of all donations to the City.
Ordinance 20-018 Amending SVMC 3.34 Page 1 of 4

3.34.030 Acceptance of donations.
A. The city manager may accept or decline any donation and, pursuant to SVMC 3.34.050, carry out the
terms or conditions of the donations subject to the following conditions:
1. The city manager may accept or decline, without city council action, monetary donations valued up
to $200,000. The city manager may, at his/her discretion, seek input from the city council as to whether
a donation should be accepted or not by the City.
2. The city manager may accept or decline any nonmonetary donations. In determining whether to
accept the nonmonetary donation, the city manager shall consider the potential practical use the City
could make of the property. The city manager may, at his/her discretion, seek input from the city
council as to whether a donation should be accepted or not by the City when accepting the donation
would require expenditure of City funds for storage, maintenance, upkeep, repair, or similar costs.
B. The determination by the city manager to accept or decline any donation pursuant to Chapter 3.34 SVMC
shall be final, and is not appealable. The city manager shall provide a written report to the city council
within 30 days of receipt of any donation to the City, or the determination to decline a donation.
3.34.040 Conflicts of interest.
The city manager shall not accept any donation which creates a conflict of interest, is given in return for
financial favors, business with the City, or other City -business related benefit to donor, or which reasonably
creates an appearance of impropriety. If the city manager has a question as to whether a donation creates a
conflict of interest or may create an appearance of impropriety, the city manager shall consult with the
office of the city attorney.
3.34.050 Use.
Once a donation is accepted by the city manager, or by motion of the city council for monetary donations
over $200,000, the donation shall become City property, and the City shall have sole discretion as to how
the donation is to be utilized regardless of any terms or conditions imposed on the receipt of the donation.
Notwithstanding the above, in the event a donor has indicated a desire that a donation be used for a particular
purpose by the City, the City shall make reasonable efforts to utilize the donation in a manner consistent
with the donor's intent. The City shall assume ownership and maintenance of the donated item. The City
reserves the right to remove and/or relocate the donated item at all times.

nonmonetary donation but not its fair market value, and a statement that no goods or services were provided
by the City in return for the donation.
B. Dedicatory Plaques.
1. Upon approval of the City, donors providing donations valued at $5,000 or greater may elect to
provide a dedicatory plaque in recognition of the donation given to the City. Any plaque for this
purpose is subject to the following conditions:
a. The dedicatory plaque may not exceed 5" x 7" and may include a name, date, and dedication
wording, such as "donated by", "donated for", "in recognition of or "in memory of'.
b. All plaque information will be entered on the Donation/Sponsorship Guide order form. The
donor shall be required to compensate the City for all plaque related expenses prior to being
ordered. The City shall have final authority on any content of the plaque.

damage due to vandalism or theft.
d. All plaques shall remain as a donated item during its useful life.
e. The City reserves the right to remove and/or relocate the plaque at all times.
2. Any recognition shall not suggest in any way the endorsement of the donor's goods or services, or
any proprietary interest of the donor.

make its placement decision pursuant to the following:
a. Any physical form of on -site recognition on city property shall not interfere with visitor use,
routine recreation, park operations, or other public purpose.

sponsor.
Section 2. Other sections unchanged. All other provisions of Title 3 SVMC not specifically
referenced hereto shall remain in full force and effect.
Section 3. Severability. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of this Ordinance shall 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

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020; RCW 25.21.100; Title 3 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: October 20, 2020 administrative report proposing
creation of chapter 3.33 SVMC; first reading of Ordinance 20-021.
BACKGROUND: In the past, the City has designated names to City owned property, such as the
Appleway Trail and Myrna Park. However, the City has not adopted a specific process and criteria for
naming City -owned property. On October 20, 2020, staff presented an administrative report to Council
with a proposed new chapter SVMC. The attached draft ordinance would adopt chapter 3.33 SVMC
to establish appropriate policies and criteria for naming City -owned property.
Under Ordinance 20-021, City Council would have sole authority for naming City -owned property,
with the opportunity for public input. To ensure the consistency of naming, the draft identifies five
criteria to consider when naming City -owned property. The criteria considers geographic or
neighborhood location, historical or cultural significance, natural or geographical features, individual
citizen contributions, and recognizing outstanding individuals. The draft would also authorize the
Council to name individual ancillary features of City -owned property, such as a playground or water
feature in a larger park facility.
OPTIONS: (1) Approve Ordinance 20-021 as drafted; or (2) take other action as appropriate.

NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County,
Washington, do ordain as follows:
Section 1. Adoption. Chapter 3.33 SVMC relating to the naming of city -owned property is
hereby adopted as set forth below:
3.33 NAMING OF CITY -OWNED PROPERTY

Text Amendment — CTA-2019-0005
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 17.80; SVMC 19.30.040;
Title 20 SVMC; Revised Code of Washington (RCW) 36.70A.106 and RCW 36.70A.200
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: October 20, 2020 Administrative Report
BACKGROUND: RCW 58.17 provides the framework and procedures for processing preliminary and
final subdivisions (long plats), subdivision alterations and vacations of plats. Title 20 SVMC regulates the
subdivision of land consistent with the requirements of RCW 58.17. RCW 58.17 also allows for local
jurisdictions to create procedures for processing both short subdivisions and binding site plans. Title 20
provides the framework and procedures for processing preliminary and final short subdivisions and
binding site plans, alterations of short plats and binding site plans, and vacations within Spokane Valley.
The proposed code text amendment is intended to ensure Title 20 SVMC is consistent with RCW 58.17
and align the code with current processes and the City's organizational structure. Due to the proposed
changes in Title 20 SVMC, the Permit Type and Land Use Application table in Chapter 17.80.030 must
also be revised.
Staff presented an administrative report at the October 20, 2020 Council meeting, where there was
Council consensus to carry these code changes forward to an ordinance first reading.
OPTIONS: Move to advance Ordinance No. 20-024 to a second reading with or without further
amendments, or take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance No. 20-024 to a second
reading as proposed.

b. Study Session: CTA-2019-0005, A Proposed Amendment to Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC) Title 20 and Title 17, Subdivisions
Planner Connor Lange gave a presentation outlining the proposed changes to SVMC Title 20
and Title 17. He explained that the SVMC Title 20 regulates the subdivision of land and
provides the framework and procedures for processing preliminary and final subdivisions
(both long and short plats), subdivision alterations, binding site plans and vacations of plats.
The proposed code text amendment is to ensure that the SVMC Title 20 is consistent with
RCW 58.17 so that all procedures and language is consistent with state law. The proposed
changes in Title 20 require changes to the Permit Type and Land Use Application table in
Chapter 17.80.030 in order to make the codes consistent.
Mr. Lange outlined the proposed changes to the municipal code:
• Chapter 20.20 General Provisions: Proposed changes will ensure consistency with
state law by adding clarification and correct references to "Title 20 SVMC".
• Chapter 20.30 Preliminary Short Subdivision, Subdivisions, and Binding Site Plans:
Proposed changes include reducing the number of required copies, removing other
unnecessary requirements and align the code with state law and other areas of the
SVMC.
• Chapter 20.40 Final Short Subdivision, Subdivision and Binding Site Plans:
Proposed changes include reducing the number of required copies, removing other
unnecessary requirements, and updating language in 20.40.020 regarding City
Manager final plat authorization and reviewing requirements and 20.40.050 regarding
subdivision phasing.
• Chapter 20.50 Preliminary Plat, Short Plat, and Binding Site Plan Alterations:
Proposed changes include renaming the chapter "Subdivision Alterations" and adding
language to 20.50.010 regarding application submittal requirements, adding updates
to 20.50.020 outlining procedures for preliminary plat alterations and adding updates
to 20.50.030 outlining procedures for final plat alterations.
• Chapter 20.60 Final Plat, Short Plat, and Binding Site Plan Alterations: Proposed
changes include renaming the chapter "Short Subdivision and Binding Site Plan
Alterations", adding language to 20.50.005 regarding purpose, adding language to
20.60.010 regarding application requirements, and adding updates to 20.60.020

09-10-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
• Chapter 20.70 Subdivision, Short Subdivision, and Binding Site Plan Vacation:
Proposed changes include language updates to 20.70.020 regarding the subdivision
vacation process and language updates to 20.70.030 regarding the short subdivision
and binding site plan vacation process.
• Chapter 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures: Permit Type and Land Use
Application table updated to reflect new definitions in Chapter 20 regarding Type II
and Type III land uses and updates to cross references.
Commissioner Kelley joined the meeting at 6:28 p.m.
Commissioner Haneke asked about changes to 20.40.020 regarding approval of final plats.
He asked why it is being changed from City Council approval to City Manager approval.
City Attorney Cary Driskell answered that the language is being corrected so that it reflects
the protocol that is currently in place for all final plats. They are all currently approved by
the City Manager (not City Council).
Mr. Lange also gave a follow-up discussion regarding the City's use of performance surety.
He explained that the use of performance surety is outlined in the Spokane Valley Street
Standards 9.14 and an applicant must meet the criteria outlined in the standards.
Commissioner Haneke asked about using a performance surety for paving of a project
because paving is generally affected by weather. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb
explained that under the City's street standards regarding proper function and operation of
the transportation system, paving would be required prior to allowing a performance surety to
be used. However, final determination would be granted by the engineering department if a
performance surety could be used for paving in the event of adverse weather. Commissioner
Johnson asked for further clarification on this matter from engineering at the next meeting.
Commissioner Beaulac asked for clarification about the process when a development is
abandoned and someone else decides to continue the development. He wanted to know if the
project has to start the whole process over or if it can be picked up where it was left off by
the previous developer. Mr. Lange answered that approval would have to be received from
the original developer allowing the new person to move forward with the project. Deputy
City Attorney Lamb stated that it would also depend on where the project is in the process.
With no other questions, Mr. Lange said that a public hearing will be held on September 24,
2020 and he would provide answers to those questions posed by the Commission.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner Beaulac commended Commissioner Johnson on
his handling of the chairman position. At the August 27, 2020 meeting Commissioner Kelley
raised several issues regarding the way he felt about Commissioner Johnson's involvement in
a previous council meeting. Commissioner Kelley wanted to bring to light additional
concerns when Commissioner Johnson stated the Commission meeting was not the
appropriate place to raise his concerns, and offered to meet him at a more appropriate forum.
As Commissioner Kelley continued, Commissioner Kaschmitter requested the conversation
to stop. Commissioner Kelley stated he had not heard a motion. Commissioner Kaschmitter
moved to end the conversation. The vote on the motion was five in favor, one opposed, and
the motion passed.
XI. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Beaulac moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:10 p.m.
There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was six in favor, zero against, and the
motion passed.

Administrative Assistant, would read two written comments regarding the item removed
from the agenda prior to the amendment.
VIII. PUBLIC COMMENT: Commission Secretary Horton read two written comments regarding
the South Barker Corridor, item that was on the agenda prior to amending, into the record.
The first comment letter was from Kathryn Cote of Spokane Valley. Ms. Cote stated she is
opposed to the roundabout at Sprague and Barker, feeling it would make it difficult to access
her property, take too much of her property and a three -lane road would be too impactful to
the neighborhood. Second comment letter submitted was from Doug Nelson, Spokane
1
09-24-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 4
Valley. Mr. Nelson's email stated he is opposed to three roundabouts along the South Barker
corridor. Mr. Nelson feels that four-way stops would serve better. He raised concerns about
the speed of traffic and safety concerns for pedestrians and cyclists. He promoted the idea of
purchasing land for a park instead of road improvements along the corridor. There was a
short discussion regarding notification to those who submitted comments of the public
hearing date. This would give the submitters the ability to submit any comments they may
have at the public hearing or to participate live if they wish.
IX. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: CTA-2019-0005, A proposed amendment to Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC) Title 20, Subdivisions
Chair Johnson opened the public hearing at 6:16.
Planner Connor Lange began by stating the goal with the proposed changes is to align the
municipal code with state law and to make the process easier. Mr. Lange summarized the
proposed changes into three categories, which were to align process with state law, to
improve procedural and submittal requirements, and to update the grammatical and
organizational structure.
Mr. Lange outlined the proposed changes to the municipal code:
• Chapter 20.30 Preliminary Short Subdivision, Subdivisions, and Binding Site Plans:
Proposed changes include reducing the number of required copies, removing other
unnecessary requirements and align the municipal code with state law and other areas of
the SVMC.
• Chapter 20.40 Final Short Subdivision, Subdivision and Binding Site Plans: Proposed
changes include reducing the number of required copies, aligning submittals with current
processes, and updating language in section 20.40.020 regarding City Manager final plat
authorization and reviewing requirements, and adding clarifying language in section
20.40.050 regarding subdivision phasing.
• Chapter 20.50 Preliminary Plat, Short Plat, and Binding Site Plan Alterations: Proposed
changes include renaming the chapter "Subdivision Alterations," adding language to
section 20.50.010 regarding application submittal requirements, adding updates to section
20.50.020 outlining procedures for preliminary plat alterations, and adding updates to
section 20.50.030 outlining procedures for final plat alterations.
• Chapter 20.60 Final Plat, Short Plat, and Binding Site Plan Alterations: Proposed
changes include renaming the chapter "Short Subdivision and Binding Site Plan
Alterations," adding language to section 20.50.005 regarding purpose, adding language to
section 20.60.010 regarding application requirements, and adding updates to section
20.60.020 regarding procedures for short plat and binding site plan alterations.
• Chapter 20.70 Subdivision, Short Subdivision, and Binding Site Plan Vacation: Proposed
changes include language updates to section 20.70.020 regarding the subdivision vacation
process and language updates to section 20.70.030 regarding the short subdivision and
binding site plan vacation process.
• Chapter 17.80 Permit Processing Procedures: Permit Type and Land Use Application
table updated to reflect new definitions in Chapter 20 regarding Type II and Type III land
uses and updates to cross references.
Commissioner Haneke asked who has the authority to determine if a submittal is Type II
versus Type III. Mr. Lange explained that staff would review the submittal to determine if
2
09-24-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
the changes are consistent with the conditions. If the changes are inconsistent with the
conditions or alter the conditions, the submittal would then be sent to the Hearing Examiner
for approval.
Commissioner Haneke asked a clarifying question about approval of subdivision phasing.
Mr. Lange confirmed that if the applicant showed phasing within their submittal, the
mitigation would be discussed at that time, whether it could be phased or not.
Mr. Lange then invited Senior Engineer Chad Riggs, to present on the City's use of
performance sureties. Mr. Riggs stated that the City does accept performance sureties when a
project cannot be completed due to bad weather, the contractor cannot obtain construction
materials, or any other unforeseen complications. The conditions are that the project must be
substantially completed, ensuring that sewer, water, curb and gutter, stormwater, and crushed
gravel are put in place due to safety reasons.
Commissioner Haneke asked about using a performance surety for paving of a project. Mr.
Riggs explained that the primary goal is to get the developer to pave before the plants close
but if it is due to bad weather, the City does try to work with the developers.
Chairman Johnson closed the Public Hearing at 6: 35 p.m.
Commissioner Kaschmitter moved to recommend approval of CTA-2019-0005 to City
Council. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was six in favor, zero against and
the motion passed.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Commissioner McKinley voiced his concern with the
roundabouts on Barker Road. Jenny Nickerson expressed that staff's goal when discussing
topics such as roundabouts and the South Barker Corridor study, is to build in time in the
upcoming meeting to talk about the current regulations and to answer those preliminary
questions.
Commissioner Haneke expressed his desire to inform the people that submitted public
comments regarding the agenda item that had been removed. Ms. Nickerson confirmed she
would inform those individuals of the removal of the item and ensure they are aware of the
progression of this topic.
Chairman Johnson expressed he is aware that he is not perfect and that everyone is not

a. Findings Of Fact: CTA-2019-0005, A proposed amendment to Title 20,
Subdivisions
Planner Connor Lange requested approval of the findings of fact from the meeting on
September 24, 2020 regarding the proposed amendment to Title 20. This document will
formalize the Planning Commission's actions and the recommendation will be submitted
to the City Council for approval.
Commissioner Beaulac moved to approve the findings of fact and forward to City
Council. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was five in favor, zero against
and the motion passed.
b. Study Session: STV-2020-0002, A privately initiated street vacation for a portion of
East Montgomery Avenue and Bessie Road
Planner Connor Lange gave a staff presentation. He explained that the City received an
application on August 7, 2020 from Diamond Rock Financial, LLC/TCF Properties
requesting a street vacation of 470 feet of Montgomery Avenue and 195 feet of Bessie
Road. The area is located east of Vista Road, west of Sargent Road, south of Trent
Avenue and north of Mansfield Avenue. The four parcels along Montgomery Avenue
where the vacation is being requested are owned by the same person and the City will
require that the owner aggregate those properties to avoid any access issues. Bessie Road
is 25 feet of right-of-way and Montgomery is 30 feet in the smallest section and 60 feet in
the largest section of right-of-way.
Chairman Johnson asked for clarification about how the four lots will be accessed if the
street is vacated. Mr. Lange answered that the property will still be accessed from the
unvacated portion of Montgomery Avenue.
Commissioner Robinson asked the zoning of the properties. Mr. Lange answered that the
property off Bessie Road is zoned R-3 and the four properties on Montgomery are zoned
multi -family residential (MFR). Commissioner Robinson asked if the surrounding
properties have been notified about the requested change. Mr. Lange answered that a
notice of public hearing has been sent out to all owners of properties within 400 feet of
the proposal.
Mr. Lange explained that there are three main items that staff reviews when processing a
street vacation request: street connectivity, traffic volumes, & future
development/access. During the review process, staff determined that there is sufficient
street connectivity. Due to the location of the railroad to the north of the property, Bessie
Road cannot be connected to Trent Rd. However, there is good access from Mansfield
Avenue & Sargent Road providing circulation onto Montgomery Avenue. The
applicant's reason's for request is as follows:
1) The proposed vacation is currently undeveloped (dedicated in 1955) and provides
no public access at this time, having no potential for connection to the north with
the Burlington Northern Santa Fe rail line directly to the north.
2) Both Bessie Road and a portion of Montgomery Road are not full right-of-way
widths and therefore would be substandard for todays use.
3) The vacation will allow maximum use of abutting properties for infill
development.
2
10-08-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 5
Commissioner Beaulac asked if the railroad has been notified about this request. Mr.
Lange answered that notification has been sent but the City has not received any
comments from them. Commissioner Beaulac commented that he would really like to
know their thoughts on the proposal. Mr. Lange responded that he would try to reach out
to them for comments.
Chairman Johnson asked about the comment from Whipple Engineering regarding the
proposed subdivision of the lot on Bessie Road into three separate lots. Mr. Lange
responded that there is a formal request for short plat on that property that has been
deemed incomplete due to this proposed street vacation.
With no other questions, Mr. Lange said that a public hearing will be held on October 22,
2020 and he will provide answers to those questions posed by the Commission.
c. Administrative Report: Impact Fees for the South Barker Corridor
Deputy City Manager John Hohman introduced the agenda item. He explained that the
City of Spokane Valley does not currently have impact fees in place. The City would
like to implement impact fees for new developments occurring along the Barker Road
corridor. When a new project comes in for development, there will be a set dollar
amount per trip that a developer pays which will be used by the municipality to improve
the infrastructure that is impacted by the development.
Senior Traffic Engineer Jerremy Clark stated there are two process used to determine
project mitigation, traffic concurrency and the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA).
Traffic concurrency ensures that the transportation system has sufficient capacity to
accommodate any proposed development. In order to have a consistent process, the City
has street standards that must be met for each proposed development. All projects must
have a trip generation and distribution letter (TGDL) which provides an estimate of how
many trips will be coming onto the transportation network and where they will be
occurring. The number of trips generated determines if a Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA)
is required for a proposed development. These tools are used to determine what kind of
mitigation will be required from a developer. SEPA has its own set of requirements and
processes but they are separate from concurrency.
Mr. Clark explained that the City has done some in-depth studies of areas with substantial
growth potential and limited roadway capacity. These areas include the Northeast
Industrial area, Mirabeau subarea, North Pines subarea, and the South Barker corridor.
Mr. Hohman explained the cost of preserving current infrastructure in the existing
configuration. There are roads throughout the City that are deficient and can't support
the amount of activity and development happening. The City struggles with funding their
street maintenance programs. Historically, the estimated cost to maintain City streets is
approximately ten million dollars and the average actual expenditures is six million
dollars leaving a deficit of four million dollars each year. The ten million estimate is for
preservation only and does not include lane widening, intersection operations, or other
needed improvements. The City needs to find additional funding to accommodate
growth and maintain current service levels.
3
10-08-2020 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 5
Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb explained that the City is looking to identify the fair
share impacts of new developments on an even basis so that citizens are not paying for
the impacts. He stated that currently mitigation is only required if the level of service
drops below acceptable levels based on the addition of a new development. Impacts
occur from all developments but only the last developer who tips levels of service over
the acceptable levels contributes to mitigation. The mitigation received from that
developer will only be required based on that development's proportionate share. SEPA
allows the City to address "probable significant adverse environmental impacts" on
projects. Traffic is considered to be an environmental impact under SEPA but mitigation
cannot be duplicated if it imposed by other regulations.
Mr. Lamb stated that there are current process limitations because traffic concurrency is
limited to designated corridors and areas. There are substantial exemptions in place
through both SEPA and traffic concurrency such as short plats, multi -family dwellings up
to sixty units and commercial buildings up to 30,000 square feet. However, impacts still
occur from exempt areas, especially in regards to traffic impact. These limitations put the
City in a situation where new development is not paying for their impacts to City
infrastructure. Due to this shortfall in revenue, the City is looking into the possibility of
implementing traffic impact fees.
Mr. Lamb explained that impact fees are statutorily authorized mechanisms to have
development pay for their proportionate impact on services and infrastructure and may be
limited to an identified geographical area. It's a fair assessment of fees which gives
certainty to developers regarding the amounts that will have to be paid. The fees are easy
to collect because they are due at the time of building permit. The fees are established by
an adopted rate schedule for each development activity and must be based on a specific
formula or calculation.
Chairman Johnson asked if the collected fees can be used city-wide for transportation
related projects. City Engineer Bill Helbig answered that statutorily it is required that the
fees received must be used within the area that they were collected.
Mr. Helbig stated that the City has conducted a substantial study of the South Barker
corridor. The study shows that this area has potential for significant future development
and the level of service is degrading. The study recommends the need for mitigation and
identifies fair share costs. It identifies seven recommended improvement projects
throughout the corridor for a total of approximately 18.8 million dollars.
Mr. Helbig explained that a public hearing on this agenda item will be held at a special
meeting of the Planning Commission on November 5, 2020 and a Findings Of Fact will
be held on November 12, 2020. It will then be forwarded to the City Council on
November 24, 2020.
Commissioner Beaulac asked for a report showing what other municipalities are charging
for impact fees because he wants to make sure that the City is adopting fees that are
competitive. Mr. Helbig stated that he will submit that report at the next meeting.
X. GOOD OF THE ORDER: Mr. Hohman stated that Mayor Wick will select someone to fill
the vacancy on the Planning Commission at the October 20, 2020 City Council meeting. The

BACKGROUND:
RCW 58.17 provides the framework and procedures for processing preliminary and final subdivisions
(long plats), subdivision alterations and vacations of plats. Title 20 SVMC regulates the subdivision of
land consistent with the requirements of RCW 58.17. RCW 58.17 also allows for local jurisdictions to
create procedures for processing both Short Subdivisions and Binding Site Plans. Title 20 provides the
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2019-0005
framework and procedures for processing preliminary and final short subdivisions and binding site plans,
alterations of short plats and binding site plans and vacations within Spokane Valley.
The proposed code text amendment is intended to ensure Title 20 SVMC is consistent with RCW 58.17
and align the code with current processes and the City's organizational structure. Due to the proposed
changes in Title 20 SVMC the Permit Type and Land Use Application table in Chapter 17.80.030 must be
also be revised.
ANALYSIS:
These proposed changes are procedural in nature and do not have any substantive impact on the use or
function of private property within the city. These changes will provide a more efficient application
process and align the code with the current city organizational structure and state law.
