City Council Regular Meeting

Tuesday, November 17, 2020

ROLL CALL: Deputy City Clerk Koudelka called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz, seconded and unanimously agreed to
approve the agenda.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Public Hearing: Garland Avenue Street Vacation — Mike Basinger
At 6:01 p.m., Mayor Wick opened the public hearing. Economic Development Manager Basinger said that on
October 20, 2020, Council passed Resolution 20-015 setting the public hearing date and tonight will be the first
reading of the ordinance for the street vacation located between Tschirley Road and vacated Greenacres Road.
He said the street vacation was initiated to support economic development in the northeast industrial area and it
will be used as a detour route for the Barker Road Grade Separation Project. We received a comment letter from
Spokane Transit Authority requesting that sidewalks be constructed concurrent with the rebuilding of Garland
Avenue and that the street design consider the location of future bus stops. There were no other public comments.
Mayor Wick closed the public hearing at 6:03 p.m.
2. First Reading Ordinance 20-025 Garland Avenue Street Vacation — Mike Basinger
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and
seconded to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance No. 20-025 on one reading, relating to vacation of a
portion of Garland Avenue between Tshirley Road and Barker Road. Mr. Basinger said he had no further
remarks. Mayor Wick stated that because we had a public hearing on this and the hearing has been closed,
there would be no further public comments taken on the ordinance even if we were to have had a second
reading. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
3. Motion Consideration: Approval of 2021 State Legislative Agenda — Cary Driskell, John Hohman, Mark
Calhoun
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded to approve the 2021 State Legislative Agenda as
drafted. City Manager Calhoun said this is the third and final touch of the Legislative Agenda for 2021 and
includes Council changes from previous discussions. He noted that a special meeting is tentatively
anticipated for Tuesday, December 15 at 5:00 p.m. prior to the regular scheduled Council meeting with the
4th District Legislative delegation to discuss the agenda. Deputy City Manager Hohman said he met with
the Spokane County Fair board and they developed the flyer for the Regional Expo Expansion project
(distributed to Council) and he said all members of the board are looking forward to the project. Mayor
Wick commented that in a meeting with the Fair board earlier in the day, Mr. Calhoun made clear that this
project has a maximum cap of $10 million and that there will be no project creep. There were no registered
public comments. Councilmember Higgins cautioned that financing will be heavily dependent on lodging
tax funding. Mr. Calhoun said this will go before the legislature and it could be 2021 or 2022 before the

issuing of bonds and hopefully that would put us past the pandemic. Vote by acclamation: in favor:
unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Western Dance Hall Amended Agreement — Mike Stone
It was moved by Councilmember Haley and seconded to approve the lease agreement. Parks & Recreation
Director Stone said this amendment reduces the financial hardship until such time as they are able to utilize
the dance hall. Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley, asked if the contract could include language that the
dance hall would be responsible for removing the homeless camps from the parking lot. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
5. Comprehensive Plan Amendments — Chaz Bates
Senior Planner Bates presented the PowerPoint slideshow, beginning with the process for annually
amending the Comprehensive Plan. He said the deadline to submit applications was October 30th and that
any applications received after that date are reserved for the next cycle. He said there are four amendments
this year consisting of three map amendments and one text amendment. Mr. Bates noted there is a correction
to the slide for CPA-2020-0003, as it is not yet a City -owned property but we are in the process of
purchasing it. He added that it is slightly impacted by a critical area with its location in the flood zone, and
he said that would be addressed as it moves forward through the process. Council consensus to advance to
a motion consideration at the November 24 meeting.
6. Horse Arena, Master Plan — Mike Stone
Parks & Recreation Director Stone started his presentation by pointing out that Resolution 20-011 declaring
horse arena property surplus that is listed on the RCA under Previous Council Action Taken is unrelated to
this discussion and will be removed from future RCAs. He said during the 2019 Park Master Plan process,
the public expressed interest in new amenities at Valley Mission Park with a bike pump track, a skate park
or both. In 2020, he worked with a consultant to design the Master Plan and we received feedback from the
community that showed 40 percent in favor of an asphalt pump track and 28 percent in favor of a skate park
and he said that bike pump tracks are good for people of all ages. During the process, he said he was
approached by Evergreen Mountain Alliance, which advocates for bike pump tracks throughout the state
and has over 586 members and a local chapter in Spokane, stating they would be willing to adopt the project
and maintain the track.
The design includes a bike pump track, skate park, play area, restroom, dog park, perimeter path, and a new
shelter in the south end of the park. He said it consists of three phases, the first phase being the largest phase
that will include infrastructure, earthwork, landscape and irrigation, a new restroom, playground, and the
bike pump track, and cost approximately $2.25 million. He said the second phase will include earthwork,
utilities, the skate park, a new structure, landscape and irrigation and cost approximately $1.1 million; and
the third phase will consist of earthwork, landscape, the perimeter path and upper shelter and cost
approximately $1.6 million. He said the total cost for all three phases is approximately $3.4 million and
added that the cost to improve Bowdish Road to the improved area is approximately $400,000. City
Manager Calhoun said that adoption of the Master Plan does not commit money to the park but provides
staff a long term goal for future planning and consideration. Council consensus to advance to a motion
consideration at a future meeting.
7. Municipal Tree Ordinance — Mike Stone, Cary Driskell
Parks and Recreation Director Stone began his slideshow presentation and he said that in March 2020,
Council discussed the Tree City USA program, the requirements for communities to manage public trees,
and the criteria needed to meet and obtain Tree City USA status. He said the ordinance encourages
beautification, enables cities to control destructive insects and diseases, avoid unnecessary cost and liability
from hazardous trees and tree related accidents and it protects residents from unscrupulous or careless
operators. He concluded by saying he recommends adopting the ordinance which outlines the process for
managing the urban forest, that we track our expenditures and continue to have an Arbor Day celebration

Approved by Council:

and proclamation, and that we submit the application to become a Tree City USA. Council consensus to
advance the draft ordinance to a first reading at a future meeting.
8. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
Councilmember Thompson mentioned that with regard to the PRD (planned residential development) at
8th Avenue and Long Road, it appears there may be loop hole in our code and she asked that our PRD
regulations be looked into and modified to protect the interest of what we just went through. City Manager
Calhoun said staff have been discussing this issue and will report back to Council in the very near future.
9. Council Comments — Mayor Wick
Mayor Wick said a member of the Planning Commission resigned effective the end of the year and that
typically the Mayor makes committee appointments in the beginning of January after a new Mayor is
selected. Because a new Mayor will not be selected in January, he asked if Councilmembers had any
objections to appointing members to the Planning Commission in December. No objections.
10. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
Mr. Calhoun had no additional comments.
It was moved by Councilmember Thompson, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 7:15 p.m.

COMMITTEE, BOARD, LIAISON SUMMARY REPORTS
Councilmember Woodard: said that at the HCDAC meeting he attended two weeks ago, Spokane County
reported the Board of County Commissioners accepted CB3 funds, which is the second round of help for
mortgages and rents, and will be available through November 30, 2021. He said they got $643,000 for
mortgage and rent assistance and $214,000 for food securities to Spokane Valley Partners. He said the CB1
contracts have been executed and SNAP received funding for mortgage, rent, utility and internet assistance,
and Spokane Valley Partners received funding for food security which needs to be expended by December
31, 2020. He said as of two weeks ago, 75 households have applied for and received 300 months of rent or
mortgage payment assistance. He said they had to change the median income in order to assist with
mortgage payments; they have issued about $250,000 so far; there are over 1,000 households that are
backlogged but they believe they will be able to get all the funds out before the December 31, 2020 deadline.
He encouraged anyone needing help to apply at SNAP. He reported that there was $1.5 million available
in the Homeless Housing and Assistance Act funds and that they received four applications, one was
dismissed because it did not meet the criteria. He said the other three applicants received a total of $632,000
in grants.
Councilmember Haley: reported that at the Spokane Transit Authority (STA) meeting they discussed the
Medical Lake interchange and through their partnership with WSDOT they saved $1.65 million in state
grant funding that would have been expended otherwise. She said they put in transit -only lanes from the
West Plains Transit to the roundabout and it should now be fully operational. She added that it serves
Amazon and that the Amazon bus is very well used. She said their lobbyist has discussed a $1 billion
BUILD grant with the newly elected presidential administration and they feel the new administration will
focus on infrastructure. She said she also participated in the interview process for the Deputy Fire Chief
and that any of the six applicants interviewed would make a great candidate. She attended the NLC
conference and reported it was heavily focused on COVID-19.

GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 111: n/a
NEW BUSINESS
1. First Reading Ordinance 20-022 Amending 2020 Budget — Chelsie Taylor
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and
seconded to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 20-022 amending the 2020 Budget. Finance Director
Taylor said this is the first reading of the ordinance to amend the 2020 budget following a public hearing
held on November 10, 2020 and an administrative report on October 27, 2020 and it proposes amendments
throughout City funds for a variety of reasons, many of which are due to the COVID-19 pandemic. She
said the proposed amendment results in total revenue decreases of $1.5 million in eleven funds and total
appropriation increases of $9.1 million in twelve funds. Councilmember Woodard said the reason for his
motion to adopt the ordinance without a second reading is because there is no further public comment
opportunity. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
2. PUBLIC HEARING: 2021 Budget — Chelsie Taylor
Mayor Wick opened the public hearing at 6:30 p. m. Finance Director Taylor said this is the sixth occasion
to discuss the 2021 Budget and the third and final public hearing. She said this is the final 2021 Budget and
the total appropriations are approximately $98 million including general fund expenditures of about $47
million and $50.7 million across all other funds. She said capital expenditures are about $32.6 million which
will be paid by about $21 million in grant revenues. She said the general fund and the stormwater fund are
budgeted to have recurring revenues equal to or exceeding our current expenditures and recurring activity
in the street fund is anticipated to have expenditures exceed revenues by approximately $1.9 million, which
Regular Formal Council Meeting: 11-24-2020 Page 2 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
is covered by a non -recurring transfer in from the general fund. She said the FTE count will remain the
same for 2021 and the general fund recurring revenues are estimated to be about $45 million, which is
$978,000 greater than the amended 2020 Budget amount; the 2021 recurring expenditures are proposed to
be about $45 million, which is $2.2 million greater than the proposed 2020 amended appropriation. She
said recurring revenues currently exceed recurring expenditures by $325,000. There are non -recurring
expenditures of about $2.2 million for various items and the total 2021 recurring and non -recurring
expenditures exceed total revenues by approximately $1.8 million in the general fund and the ending fund
balance at the end of 2021 is projected to be around $33 million, representing 73.25 percent of recurring
expenditures, which is greater than the 50 percent cap that we have. There were no registered public
comments. Mayor Wick closed the public hearing at 6:33 p.m.
3. First Reading Ordinance 20-023 Adopting 2021 Budget — Chelsie Taylor
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Hattenberg
and seconded to advance Ordinance 20-023 adopting the 2021 Budget to a second reading. Finance
Director Taylor said she had nothing to add to her presentation from the public hearing. Councilmember
Woodard asked why we continue to show the Street O&M Fund #101 as non -recurring when this is the
fifth year and he said it is going to continue as a recurring cost until we solve the problem. City Manager
Calhoun said in budget years 2017 and 2018 the street fund expenditures exceeded revenues but the street
fund had enough reserves that we were able to absorb that within Street Fund #101. He said in budget year
2019 the reserves in the street fund were not sufficient enough to allow that to occur so Council transferred
$907,000 out of the Capital Reserve Fund #312. In calendar year 2020 budget, he said that amount increased
to $1.365 million but because the gas taxes were impacted by COVID-19, that number increased by another
$350,000. He said this is the third year Fund #101 has received the subsidy so it could be considered a
recurring expenditure. Councilmember Higgins said he agrees that it is turning into a regular expense but
he said if it is left as non -recurring, it keeps the attention of Council to solve the problem. Vote by
acclamation: In favor: Councilmembers Haley, Hattenberg, and Thompson, Deputy Mayor Peetz and
Mayor Wick. Opposed: Councilmembers Higgins and Woodard. Motion carried.
3a. First Reading Ordinance 20-028 Adopting Planned Residential Development Moratorium - Erik Lamb,
John Hohman
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and
seconded to suspend the rules and approve Ordinance No. 20-028, declaring an Emergency and adopting
an immediate moratorium on submission, acceptance, processing, modification, or approval of any permits
or licenses for planned residential developments under chapter 19.50 SVMC. Deputy City Manager
Hohman said that the City did a large update of the Comprehensive Plan in 2016 and Council looked at
implementing an R-4 zone which would look at more dense developments and center them more within the
corridors to allow transportation and availability of services to within a half mile walking distance, which
was approved earlier this year. He said that we started receiving applications for PRDs, which allow more
flexibility in density, predominately in R-3 areas where they may not match the character of the
neighborhood. He said we have received several complaints about this and staff need to review the code to
determine if it needs modified or deleted altogether. He said the moratorium is warranted because it will
take several months to move through the Planning Commission and we could receive PRD applications
during that time and the moratorium would put a hold on future projects until regulations are reviewed and
brought back to Council for action, if any. Deputy City Attorney Lamb said the moratorium is meant to
retain the status quo and is only on new PRD applications, adding that any PRDs already in process will
move forward. He said the ordinance sets a public hearing for January 5, 2021. Mr. Lamb said that
moratoriums are effective for six months unless the City identifies a work plan, in which case it can be in
place for a year; because we have a work plan this moratorium would be in effect for a year and he said
with the declaration of an emergency, the moratorium becomes effective immediately. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
4. 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.
a. Approval of claim vouchers on Nov 24, 2020, Request for Council Action Form Total: $1,714,815.36

5. Second Reading Ordinance 20-024 Amending Subdivision Regulations - Jenny Nickerson
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and
seconded to approve Ordinance No. 20-024 as proposed. Building Official Nickerson said she was
available to answer any questions from Council; there were no questions from Council and no registered
public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
6. Motion Consideration: Amendment and Restated Interlocal Agreement for TPA Establishment - Cary
Driskell
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve Amendment No. 3 and Restated Interlocal
Cooperation Act Agreement. for Establishment of Spokane County Tourism Promotion Area and authorize
the City Manager to finalize and execute the same. City Attorney Driskell said the City has been a member
of the interlocal agreement since 2004 with Spokane and Spokane County to collect a nightly assessment
on hotel and motel rentals and apply that toward authorized uses of tourism promotion, and since 2008 there
has not been a termination provision in the agreement. He said in 2009 the assessment went up to a cap of
$2.00 per night per room and in 2020 the legislature adopted an amendment to allow the maximum to
increase from $2.00 to $5.00 per night. He said hoteliers requested a hearing to raise the cap to $5.00 per
night in Spokane and Spokane County. As a signatory to the interlocal, Spokane Valley can give input on
the interlocal and in speaking with attorneys at Spokane and Spokane County and the TPA Chair, they came
up with agreed upon language that Council stated they wanted, to include the requirement of providing a
quarterly report on revenue for each jurisdiction and a two-year termination provision. There were no
questions from Council and no registered public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous.
Opposed: none. Motion carried.
7. Motion Consideration: Comp Plan Docket - Chaz Bates, Mike Basinger
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve the 2021 Comprehensive Plan Amendment
Docket. Planner Bates said this motion is a follow-up to the administrative report at the November 17, 2020
meeting and it is unchanged. There were no registered public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor:
unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 121: Mayor Wick read the process for making
public comments. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley, thanked the Council for their work and wished them and
staff a Happy Thanksgiving. John Harding, Spokane Valley, submitted written comments and they were
read into the record as a means of providing accommodation.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
8. Transportation Impact Fees Code Text Amendment — Bill Helbig
City Engineer Helbig explained the proposal for a code text amendment for impact fees in the South Barker
Corridor and he introduced Chris Breiland, Senior Transportation Engineer for Fehr & Peers consulting
firm. He said in February 2020, Council heard an administrative report and gave consensus to study
transportation impact fees in the area and Fehr & Peers developed the South Barker Corridor Transportation
Impact Fee Rate Study. He said it is similar to the study done for the Northeast Industrial area on Barker
from I-90 to Trent.
Mayor Wick called the meeting to recess at 7:17 p.m. The meeting reconvened at 7:29 p. m.
Mr. Helbig went through the slide presentation that detailed the process of the study, how mitigation funds
are currently collected, the current process limitations, what impact fees can be used for and the limitations
of impact fees. Deputy City Attorney Lamb said the proposal is to adopt an entire new chapter title, 22.100
SVMC, and he presented the highlights as detailed in the slide presentation. Mr. Helbig then discussed the
Regular Formal Council Meeting: 11-24-2020 Page 4 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
proposed rates for the impact fees in the South Barker Corridor as outlined in the slide show that would be
based on the number of dwelling units for residential uses, and per room, square footage, or per pump for
commercial uses. Deputy City Attorney Lamb added that the City went through an extensive public notice
process, including media releases and utilizing list serves and social media and the comments we received
back are included in the packet materials. He said the cost for the impact fees are similar to the cost of doing
a traffic study, but the benefit to the developer is the time savings from not having to do the study. Deputy
City Manager Hohman said that impact fees also benefit the City when it comes to grant matches for
projects by allowing us to move into the design and right-of-way phases of the project more quickly. It was
the consensus of Council to advance the proposal to a first reading.
9. Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Recommendations to Council — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor updated Council on the LTAC recommendations for the 2021 awards, and said we
anticipate the City's two percent lodging tax in Fund #105 will generate approximately $346,000 in 2021
and that the money can only be used on activities that promote conventions and tourist travel to Spokane
Valley. She said that if there are any funds remaining after the grant awards, those funds would be
transferred to Fund #104. The total amount of requested funds for the 2021 awards was $303,000 and the
LTAC recommendations totaled $224,400 in awards to the applicants, potentially leaving $454,000 to
transfer to Fund #104. It was the consensus of Council to move forward for a motion consideration on
December 8, 2020.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
Councilmember Higgins mentioned road maintenance concerns and City Manager Calhoun said staff can
provide an update to Council. Councilmember Woodard said he would like information about HB-1590.
Mr. Calhoun said the bill would generate roughly $2 million and he said staff will bring information back
to Council.
11. INFORMATION ONLY: The department monthly reports were not reported on or discussed.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
City Manager Calhoun said he is seeking Council consensus to allow Mayor Wick sign a few letters on
behalf of the Council, one congratulating Cathy McMorris-Rogers on her re-election. Councilmember
Thompson asked that language be added about her work for CARES money, economic development, and
substance abuse and she said she would draft that language and provide it to Mr. Calhoun. Another letter
for signature asks that Governor Inslee include $4 million in his capital budget request for the fairgrounds
project. It was the consensus Council to have staff prepare the letters for the Mayor's signature. Mr.
Calhoun said that City Hall and CenterPlace will be closed beginning at noon on Wednesday through the
Thanksgiving holiday and he said the Council meeting for December 1st is cancelled. He then showed a
video prepared for the virtual Christmas tree lighting ceremony featuring the Councilmembers reading
"`Twas the Night before Christmas."
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting

minimum of a 50 percent local share, which increased from a 20 percent local share.
Councilmember Woodard had nothing to report.
Councilmember Higgins said the Spokane region has been under scrutiny from the EPA for its past
performance of poor air quality and while we have been doing better over the past years, he said in early
September we had abnormally poor air quality due to fires. He said we have applied for an "exceptional
event" that will hopefully keep us in the good graces with the EPA if it is approved.
Councilmember Hattenberg said he met on the performance monitoring committee for STA and he said
they approved a contract with the police department for an on -sight police officer at the transit center for
crisis prevention. He said there are also two STA security officers and by contract they will receive forty
hours of crisis prevention training from the Spokane police department. He also reported that they are

After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Woodard and
seconded to advance Ordinance 20-026 adopting, assessing and collecting transportation impact fees to a
second reading as proposed. City Engineer Helbig went through the slide presentation stating that this
process began over a year ago with the South Barker Corridor Study to implement transportation impact
fees related to new development to pay for infrastructure and services. He said the fees can only be used
for capital improvements and the SRTC recommended seven improvement areas along the South Barker
corridor that total just under $19 million. Deputy City Attorney Lamb discussed the proposed code changes
outlined in the presentation and he said they are all identified in the ordinance, the bulk of which are in
Title 22 SVMC adopting the impact fees. He said that the specific rates will be delineated by rate studies,
the fees will be collected at the time of issuing building permits rather than during the planning stages and
the proposed base rate for South Barker is $1,272 per p.m. peak trip, compared to $2,831 per p.m. peak trip
for the Northeast Industrial area. It was noted that the Planning Commission held a public hearing on this
item and per the Governance Manual, there would be no further public comment after the public hearing
process has been conducted. The agenda mistakenly listed a public comment opportunity for this item and

up to $1,800 and an amount of the remainder of actual lodging tax collections to be moved into the 1.3%
Lodging Tax Fund account dedicated for a large sports venue or venues for tourism facilities that generate
overnight guests so that the ending fund balance in the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund #105 is approximately
$165,000 at the end of 2021. Finance Director Taylor said that Council has seen several presentations on
this and they have the option to approve the recommendations as they stand, they can veto out a line item,
or Council can remand the recommendations back to the LTAC for new recommendations, but she said
remanding them back to the LTAC for new recommendations will push the process out and may impact the
budget processes for the requesting agencies.
Barb Howard, Spokane Valley, spoke in opposition to the $49,000 recommended for Northwest Winterfest.
Councilmember Woodard said that Northwest Winterfest is held at a private location rather than in a park

Finance Director Taylor along with Building Official Nickerson and Development Services Coordinator
Baldwin discussed the proposed changes to the Master Fee Schedule for 2021 as outlined in the packet
materials. She said that changes to Schedule C for the Parks and Recreation department primarily clarify
the fees and eliminate fees for things that aren't being used, and she said Section G adds the rate schedule
for impact fees that were discussed earlier in the evening. Ms. Nickerson said that the proposed changes to
Schedule A for Planning are significant because they have not been updated recently and Mr. Baldwin said

in reviewing the fees, he looked at fees of other jurisdictions around the area for comparisons as well as
jurisdictions on the west coast but he said the fees for the west coast agencies were not included in the final
comparison because of skewed numbers. City Manager Calhoun said the increases bring our fee schedule
in line with neighboring jurisdictions. Councilmember Woodard asked if an annual cost of living adjustment
was built in for future increases and Ms. Nickerson said they will have that included for the next meeting.
It was consensus of Council to advance the resolution to a future meeting for motion consideration.

Mayor Wick called the meeting to order at 5:03 p.m. The meeting was held remotely via Zoom meeting.
ROLL CALL: Deputy City Clerk Koudelka called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
WELCOME: Mayor Wick welcomed everyone to the meeting and said that Senator Padden and
Representative Elect Chase would be arriving shortly. In the interim, he invited Representative McCaslin
to speak on topics of concern or importance.
Rep. McCaslin said that the legislative priorities for himself, Sen. Padden and Rep. Chase deal with
reopening the state's economy and receiving accurate information from the health districts. He said they
would like to have policies that allow businesses to operate in a safe manner and he said local transportation
projects, including those in Spokane Valley, are important. He added that they will call for cuts in state
agencies and he said he will run his road preservation and maintenance bill to make for safer travel. He said
they have seen a lot of legislation around bicycle and pedestrian safety and there is not enough education
around being a safe pedestrian and bicyclist; and, with regard to education, he said the State legislature
needs to make sure distance learning is working and that parents understand what their involvement is in
distance learning. He added that the Department of Early Leaning needs to ease their restrictions because
several child care agencies have gone out of business due to their overreaching restrictions.
Mayor Wick welcomed Sen. Padden to the meeting and invited Deputy Mayor Peetz to discuss the
highlights of the Pines Road Grade Separation Project. Deputy Mayor Peetz said the project involves the
intersection of two state highways and a train crossing that has sixty trains per day going through, blocking
traffic for nearly four hours a day. She said the City has secured $9.7 million of the $29 million estimated
project cost and she thanked the legislators for all they've done in support of this project.
Sen. Padden said he will be looking for support from Council for a new version of legislation for condominiums.
He said the new legislation stipulates ten condominium units or less rather than six units, and he said he thinks
another appealing aspect is that when a prospective buyer puts down earnest money, instead of going to an
escrow account the developer would have access to the earnest money, giving the developer more capital for the
project. He said he thinks the bill will have the support of several agencies and he said he thinks it would be
good for Spokane Valley to provide the opportunity for home ownership to what would otherwise be apartment
residents and it will benefit young people that are moving into the area. He then complimented Spokane Valley
for the commercials featuring local businesses. City Manager Calhoun asked lobbyist Murray to forward the
legislation to him when it comes through so he can provide it to Council.
Mayor Wick said that our second listed legislative priority is the Fair and Expo Center Project at the
Spokane County Fairgrounds and he said the City is asking for $4 million in funding for the project to

Approved by Council:
DRAFT
match the $6 million from City funds, primarily coming from lodging tax dollars. He said he thinks it will
be great project for the community. Sen. Padden asked if the Center would be run by the Fair Board or a
joint body and he asked what control, if any, the City would have over the building. Mayor Wick said
Spokane County will maintain and operate the facility so the City will not have control over the use of
building but he added that the City will also have no financial commitment for the operation and
maintenance. Ms. Murray said that Spokane Valley is partnering with Spokane County in bringing the
funding request forward and because it is in the 4th district, she is hopeful that the legislators will all bring
it forward and she said she thinks the project will have regional support.
Mayor Wick said the third major project is seeking support for the WWRP Program: Flora Road Park/North
Bank River Trail Project and he invited Councilmember Hattenberg to provide an update. Mr. Hattenberg
said the project is located at Flora and the North bank of the Spokane River Trail. He said the City has
purchased the property and we ranked 23 out of 80 to receive the grant of $1 million in funds. Sen. Padden
asked how much Balfour Park would expand. City Manager Calhoun said the City acquired eight acres and
sold 2.8 acres to the Library District and on January 26th the Library District will provide Council with an
update on their plans for the land. He said as far as the City developing the park, it is a matter of coming up
with an estimated $6 million and currently we have just over $1 million set aside. Rep. McCaslin said that
citizens have voted down the library project at least twice and he asked if there is anything different now
to make their project more appealing. Mr. Calhoun said the Library District will report to Council on the
direction they look to go and Mayor Wick said that regardless of the Library's expansion plans, we still
plan to develop the park.
Mayor Wick said the City is heavily invested in economic development and we are continuously looking
for tools to grow the economy and he said this is the twelfth year that we have not taken the one percent
property tax increase as allowed by law. Sen. Padden said he thinks Spokane Valley is unique in the state
for that tactic.
Mayor Wick said that local control and keeping decision making local is another priority. Ms. Murray added
that the senate combined the Housing and Local Government committees into a single committee and she
said that combining them into a single committee does not bode well for local control of land use policies.
Rep. McCaslin said it is important to give businesses choices instead of leaving decisions to the Governor's
office. Sen. Padden said the hospitality industry is hurting, restaurants are shutting down and hotels and
motels are barely hanging on, but he said hope is on the horizon with the distribution of a vaccine. Deputy
Mayor Peetz said that regarding the hospitality industry and tourism, AWC is lobbying a proposal to use
lodging tax revenues for rental and housing assistance. Ms. Murray said that the bill has many provisions,
one of which pertains to lodging tax revenues and providing flexibility as to how the funds can be used.
Councilmember Thompson said that option is one of several and she said she doesn't think it will be a
requirement, but it will be an option for struggling cities to use.
Protect and Restore Local State -Shared Revenues: Councilmember Thompson said alcohol sales and
marijuana sales are up she would like to see the cities get their fair revenue from those increased sales. Sen.
Padden said he is looking to get a bill passed pertaining to DUI convictions.
Mayor Wick thanked everyone for meeting with Council. It was moved by Councilmember Woodard,
seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 5: 47 p.m.

ROLL CALL: Deputy City Clerk Koudelka called the roll; all Councilmembers were present.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz, seconded and unanimously agreed to
approve the agenda.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. Second Reading Ordinance 20-026 Transportation Impact Fees — Bill Helbig
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and
seconded to approve Ordinance No. 20-026 adopting, implementing and collecting transportation impact
fees for the South Barker Corridor. City Engineer Helbig said this is the second reading of the ordinance
which has been before Council three times this year and has gone through the Planning Commission
process. There were no registered public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed:
none. Motion carried.
2. Second Reading Ordinance 20-027 Municipal Tree Ordinance — Mike Stone, Cary Driskell
After Deputy City Clerk Koudelka read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and
seconded to approve Ordinance 20-027 regarding the City's municipal tree program. Parks and Recreation
Director Stone said this is the second reading of the ordinance and it has been discussed on two previous
occasions and there are no changes from the first reading.
Kevin Anderson, Spokane Valley, submitted written public comment in opposition of the ordinance.
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard and seconded to amend the Authority section of the ordinance
to read that the ordinance cannot be modified or revised to apply to private property within the City of
Spokane Valley. City Attorney Driskell advised that such an amendment is not legal and cannot be a part
of the code. He said it would infringe on the right of future Councilmembers to make any changes and it
would be against the City code. He said the ordinance does not give City authority on trees that are on
private property. Mayor Wick asked if Council can change any ordinance at any time regardless and Mr.
Driskell confirmed that is correct. He added that if we believe it is not a legal addition to the ordinance, it
should not be adopted. Vote by acclamation on the amendment: in favor: Councilmembers Higgins and
Woodard. Opposed: Councilmembers Haley, Hattenberg, Thompson, Deputy Mayor Peetz and Mayor
Wick. Motion failed. Vote by acclamation on the original motion: in favor: Councilmembers Haley,
Hattenberg, Thompson, Deputy Mayor Peetz and Mayor Wick. Opposed: Councilmembers Higgins and
Woodard. Motion carried.
3. Motion Consideration: Street & Stormwater Maintenance and Repair Contract — John Hohman
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve the 2021 contract renewal with Poe Asphalt
Paving Inc. in an amount not to exceed $1,515,439.95 for street and stormwater maintenance and repair

service, and authorize the City Manager to fnalize and execute the contract. Deputy City Manager Hohman
said Poe Asphalt Paving has had this contract since Spokane County separated services from the City in
2008 or 2009. He said this is not a typical bid contract; it is unit based on material, labor and equipment
rates and the scope of work is determined throughout the year as needed. He said there is a small increase
in the contract due to prevailing wage increases, but he said the materials and equipment rates stayed
constant. There were no registered public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed:
none. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Street Sweeping Contract — John Hohman
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve the 2021 contract renewal to AAA Sweeping
in an amount not to exceed $567,840.00 for street sweeping, and authorize the City Manager to .finalize
and execute the contract. Deputy City Manager Hohman said the street sweeping contract is a unit priced,
time and materials contract and we have been with AAA Sweeping for quite some time. He said when we
went to bid in 2019, AAA Sweeping was the only responder; he said the contract is very labor intensive
and AAA Sweeping have done a fantastic job. The contract includes a 1.4 percent hourly rate increase for
prevailing wages and he recommends approving the contract. There were no registered public comments.
Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
5. Motion Consideration: Horse Arena Master Plan — Mike Stone
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve the Valley Mission Horse Arena Master
Plan as presented. Parks and Recreation Director Stone said this is a motion seeking approval of the Horse
Arena Master Plan that was presented to Council November 17th and there have been no changes since that
presentation. He said that highlights of the plan include an asphalt pump track, a skate park, a new restroom,
a shaded plaza, play area, a shelter and paved parking, landscaping and a perimeter path, and he reminded
Council that approving the master plan does not create a financial obligation for the City. There were no
registered public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
6. Motion Consideration: Browns Park Playground & Shelter Bid Award — Bill Helbig, Mike Stone
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to award the Browns Park Playground and Shelter
Project CIP #0315 to LaRiviere, Inc. for the base bid and all alternates, with the exception ofAlternate #4,
in the amount of $344,883plus applicable sales tax, and authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute
the construction contract. Parks and Recreation Director Stone said that this project represents the final
phase of the master plan for Browns Park that started in 2014 and he said it will be completed in 2021. He
said the playground improvements include a tot lot, two sets of swings, a wee -go -round, a picnic shelter
and restroom. He said after the volleyball courts were installed, they decided on a beach theme for the
playground and it will be fully accessible. He said the tot lot will be baseball themed in acknowledgement
of Lowell Brown who donated the land for the park. City Engineer Helbig said this project was initially
advertised in August and the low bid was over budget; therefore, he said all bids were rejected and the
project was repackaged whereby the City will purchase the equipment to be installed by the contractor,
saving the City $80,000. He said it was re -advertised in October and LaRiviere was the low bidder. City
Manager Calhoun said this will be paid out of Capital Reserve Fund #309 specifically for parks, and he said
the 2021 budget as adopted doesn't include the entire appropriation necessary for this so an amendment to
the 2021 budget will come before Council to authorize the spending of reserves in Fund #309. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
7. SRTC Tribal Membership — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell said when this issue first came up he thought he would be bringing it back to Council
next week for a motion consideration but he said it continues to change. He said in 2020 there was a change
to state law requiring that a regional transportation planning organization extend membership to qualifying
tribes; there are two tribes in Spokane County, the Kalispell Tribe of Indians and the Spokane Tribe of
Indians. He said the law requires that SRTC extend voting membership to the Tribes by August 1, 2021 or
at such a time as the composition of the SRTC Board is changed. He said that the Spokane International
Council Meeting Minutes: 12-15-2020 Page 2 of 3
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Airport Board withdrew its membership effective December 31, 2020, and there has been discussion among
the members as to what that means as far as extending membership offers to the Tribes. In having additional
discussions with the parties, rather than extending any offers before knowing what the interlocal agreement
will look like with the inclusion of the Tribes, all SRTC members should have a discussion about adopting
a new interlocal agreement that accounts for new members. He said the state law is not clearly written and
the current interlocal agreement has conflicting terms within it creating discussion points among the
lawyers. He said the lawyers will identify issues in the interlocal agreement that need to be changed and
meet with the SRTC membership for more suggestions and draft a new interlocal agreement that identifies
the Tribes and voting rights by June 1, 2021, which gives the members and organizations two months to
extend a timely offer to the Tribes. If the offer is not extended in a timely fashion, the SRTC could lose
operational funding from WSDOT.
8. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
In response to Deputy Mayor Peetz's comments regarding the AWC proposal that will allow agencies to
repurpose lodging tax funds for housing and rental assistance through 2022, Mr. Calhoun said he will ask
lobbyist Murray to keep an eye on the bill and he will keep Council informed.
Mayor Wick mentioned the scholarship program through AWC and he said he would like Council to
nominate a Spokane Valley student for one of the six $1,500 scholarship awards. Mr. Calhoun said he will
work with Mayor Wick on the application process.
9. Information Only: The Holidays & Heroes Event was not reported on or discussed.
10. Council Comments:
Deputy Mayor Peetz said that Emily Bozzi, who was a co-founder of the Spokane Coeur d'Alene Living
Magazine, passed away from COVID-19 and her husband is still battling the virus in the hospital. Mayor
Wick said his uncle, Ty Wick, who spent over forty years in the water industry, also passed away from
COVID-19 this past week.
11. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
City Manager Calhoun said that relating to our Fairgrounds project request for $4 million on the $10 million
project, lobbyist Murray said legislators from around the state will meet the first week of January to discuss
projects and funding. He said that during the Christmas holidays, Council will meet December 22"d and
then City hall will be closed December 24th and 25th and the December 29th Council meeting will be
cancelled unless something comes up, wherein we would call a special meeting. He said Council meetings
will resume on January 5, 2021.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 7:08 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Proposed Resolution #20-016 Amending Fees for 2021
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Master Fee Schedule setting 2020 fees was established via
Resolution #19-019 and was adopted by the City Council on December 17, 2019.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: On December 8, 2020, Council considered an
Administrative Report on the proposed resolution establishing 2021 fees. No formal action has
been taken to date. Revenues generated by the fee resolution in 2021 account for:
• $2,596,719 or 5.72% of total General Fund recurring revenues of $45,426,419.
• $1,900,000 or 97.94% of total Stormwater Management Fund recurring revenues of
$1,940,000.
BACKGROUND: Part of the annual operating budget development process involves City
Departments reviewing the Master Fee Schedule that is currently in place, and determining
whether changes in the fees charged and/or language used in the governing resolution should be
altered.
There have been a couple of changes since the last Council discussion on December 8, 2020
which are in blue font throughout the body of this RCA. The first is the addition of a statement at
the beginning of Schedules A and B allowing for an automatic increase to the fees in those
schedules at 80% of any change from September to September of the Consumer Price Index for
All Urban Consumers (CPI-U), West Region. There was also an error noted in Schedule B where
the grading permit fee for 200,001 cubic yards or more should have been $625, but was listed at
$800. Finally, two notes were added to the new Schedule G to clarify the South Barker Corridor
Transportation Impact fees.
Recommended changes to the fee schedule are as follows:
• Under Schedule A — Planning — The Community and Public Works Department is proposing
the following changes to the fee schedule in order to bring current fees in line with surrounding
jurisdictions, clarify and simplify various fees, and add new application and permit fees.
Automatic Annual Adjustment language added:
o Unless otherwise specifically amended, Schedule A of this Master Fee Schedule
shall be reviewed and automatically adjusted annually to reflect (80%) of any
change from September to September of the Consumer Price Index for All Urban
Consumers (CPI-U), West Region, 1982-84=100, published by the United States
Department of Labor, Bureau of Labor Statistics, or other comparable index if not
published. In no event shall the cumulative change in rates or charges be more
than four percent (4%) per year. Unit prices shall be rounded to the nearest dollar.
The automatic adjustment shall be effective January 1 of each year. No other
fees shall be affected by such automatic adjustment.

Memorandum

To: City Council Members; Mark Calhoun, City Manager
From: Greg Baldwin, Development Services Coordinator
CC: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
Re: 2021 Fee Resolution Proposals
The Community and Public Works Department would like to propose the following changes to the current master fee
schedule resolution for 2021. We have attached a detailed regional jurisdictional comparison of current fees with seven
local jurisdictions, cities of comparable population and Spokane County. The last comprehensive fee comparison
review for Community Development was performed in 2007 with some minor updates performed including a
Development Engineering update in 2016 with a similar comparison.
Staff performed some minor fee relocations within the master fee schedule to eliminate "other" references in various
sections and to relocate fees to appropriate grouped fee areas. Fee updates were made by comparing the average/base
value of similar permit fees with other jurisdictions and staying below the average/base value for COSV permit fees. In
all cases we attempted to compare fee changes to reflect the appropriate regional values to fees being charged by
adjacent jurisdictions. Fees were kept below the average/base value and discussed between staff and management to
review time spent on the fees listed in the Master Fee Schedule. When limited fee comparisons were reviewed
management requested that we maintain levels below the average/base values.
All new application or permit fee proposals have been listed below to identify the new fees. The current fees that exist
on the 2020 fee schedule are listed in order on the fee chart comparison and the existing fee schedule. The other fee
changes to values were carried from the comparison chart on the third box from the existing permit fee for 2020. Here
is the explanation list for all new fees proposed for the 2021 Master Fee Schedule.

eliminate the $35,000 cap.

Commented [JN15]: The City of Spokane Valley has not issued
plumbing/mechanical permits as part of building permits due to the
fact that the work is performed by different contractors and there is
the need to document contractor credentials as part of any permit.
Therefore, this statement is misleading to the reader.

2019, 11-22; Admin Report; 2019 Marketing Report
BACKGROUND: In May 2018, the City awarded a marketing agreement to KREM Marketing
Solutions, a full -service marketing agency, to implement the five-year economic development
marketing strategy that was developed in 2016 by Atlas Advertising. The agreement allowed up
to three annual renewals. The marketing strategy is focused on three key areas: branding and
community engagement, tourism and event development, and economic/business development.
As part of the 2018 agreement, KREM Marketing Solutions developed and implemented
marketing campaigns that utilized both video and digital advertising for business recruitment,
expansion and retention, and events such as Crave!, Valleyfest and Cycle Celebration.
The City renewed its marketing services agreement with KREM in 2019 (first one-year renewal).
As part of the 2019 agreement, the consultant developed and implemented targeted marketing
campaigns that utilized video for Spokane and Seattle/Tacoma markets; developed and
implemented campaigns that utilized digital advertising for business recruitment and expansion,
and skilled workforce recruitment in manufacturing; and recommended website content
improvements, social media implementation, and other strategies. The City also updated its
website content and established more effective use of social media, specifically Facebook and
Linkedln.
In 2020, the City renewed its marketing services agreement with KREM (second one-year
renewal). When the pandemic developed in early March, the scope of work was modified (as
needed) to reflect on -going challenges for the city's retail sector, restaurants, and other
industries. Through the year, the consultant developed and implemented marketing campaigns
in support of the City's CARES Act grant programs; tourism initiatives; restaurant take
out/delivery initiatives, and other promotions. The consultant also continued to provide digital
and video campaigns focused on business recruitment, retention and expansion. Specifically,
campaigns targeted recruitment of skilled labor and remote workers to support area business
needs.
The City also utilized KREM to develop a marketing campaign for the Spokane Valley Farmers
Market and produce videos for five capital projects — the Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation
Project; Barker Road corridor projects; Balfour Park/Spokane Valley Library project; Sullivan
Road/Bigelow Gulch projects; and the Expo Center expansion.
In regard to public information, the City developed new web content, social media posts and
email campaigns to provide citizens and businesses with useful COVID-related information.
These same advertising channels were used to promote the small business and nonprofit grant
programs in the fall. The City's social media channels received expanded followers due to
frequent posting and conversation building across all sites, and email marketing efforts resulted
in significant increases in subscribers.
The City's "Hot Topic" newsletter, a quarterly publication, was replaced this year with the "View,"
a 20-page, bi-annual magazine -style newsletter that continues to be mailed to all households.
The City also completed a video to promote the Appleway Trail, highlighting its features and
numerous amenities.
In 2021, the City will execute its third one-year renewal of agreement with KREM. Planned
marketing campaigns will continue to focus on support for local businesses and restaurants in
regard to pandemic recovery, as well as new business recruitment and retention, with an
emphasis on skilled worforce recruitment and remote workers. This is the last year of the City's
five-year marketing plan (developed in 2016), so the division will also be developing a new long-
term plan in late 2021.
OPTIONS: Discussion only.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required. This report is intended to
summarize the marketing and communication activities completed in 2020.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City has opted to exercise a second -year renewal option
with KREM Marketing Solutions to continue marketing services.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — HB 1590 sales tax increase for affordable housing.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 82.14.530.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: November 24, 2020 request by Council for additional
information following a vote for councilmanic (non -voted) approval by City of Spokane
BACKGROUND: In 2020, the Legislature approved HB 1590 amending RCW 82.14.530 to provide a
councilmanic way to increase sales tax by .01% so long as the funds generated were used for qualifying
affordable housing expenditures. Previously, this provision could only be approved by majority vote of the
voters in a jurisdiction. Following adoption by the City of Spokane on November 23, Council asked staff
for information about this provision.
Attached to this RCA is a memorandum from Pacifica Law Group, which acts as the City's bond counsel
and who provides legal advice on various tax issues for the City. This memo outlines the statute, and
identifies allowable uses for the proceeds. It is worth noting that it is likely that an allowable use would
include payment of City -related operational expenses for the regional mental health crisis stabilization
facility currently under construction. If Council is interested in more information, we can bring that back
for additional discussion.
OPTIONS: (1) Request additional information from staff; (2) take other action as appropriate; or (3) take
no further action on this matter.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None at this time.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: If adopted, the City could expect approximately $2.6 million
annually to be used for qualifying affordable housing expenses.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney.

Summary of House Bill 1590 — Sales and Use Tax for Affordable Housing
I. Introduction
You asked us to provide a summary of House Bill 1590 ("HB 1590"), adopted by the
Washington State Legislature in the 2020 legislative session and codified at Chapter 222, Laws of
2020. Prior to adoption of HB 1590, cities and counties had authority to impose a sales and use
tax (referred to herein as a "sales tax") for affordable housing under RCW 82.14.530 after first
obtaining simple majority voter approval. The sales tax authorized under RCW 82.14.530 is one
of many sales taxes authorized under Washington State (the "State") law for specific, restricted
purposes, and one tool available to address homelessness. HB 1590, which became effective on
June 11, 2020, provides new flexibility by authorizing an alternative route to impose the sales tax
under RCW 82.14.530 by councilmanic action. This memorandum summarizes the sales tax
authorized in RCW 82.14.530 and the alternative method for imposing such tax under HB 1590.
II. Summary of HB 1590
HB 1590 amends RCW 82.14.530 by expanding the process for cities and counties to
impose a sales tax for affordable housing. Other portions of RCW 82.14.530, as they apply to the
City of Spokane Valley (the "City"), largely remain unchanged.' The following summary first
describes the sales tax authorized by RCW 82.14.530, and then explains the effect of HB 1590.
A. RCW 82.14.530 Authorizing Sales and Use Taxes for Affordable Housing
Prior to the effective date of HB 1590, cities and counties could impose a sales tax under
RCW 82.14.530 in the amount of not to exceed 0.1% to provide funding for affordable housing
1 HB 1590 also includes new requirements for counties with a population of greater than 1,500,000 (King County)
that are not covered in this memo.
December 9, 2020

only after first obtaining majority voter approval. Counties were initially provided a two year (or
three year, in the case of King County) priority right to impose the tax. After this time period, a
city could seek voter approval to impose the tax (or any remainder, if the county imposes less than
the full 0.1%). The ballot measure must state the purposes for the proposed sales tax. There are
no validation requirements for voter approval.
The sales tax authorized under RCW 82.14.530 is in addition to any other sales taxes
imposed in the city or county, and is collected from persons who are taxable by the State under
chapter 82.08 RCW (in the case of retail sales tax) and chapter 82.12 RCW (in the case of use tax)
upon the occurrence of any taxable event. Unlike certain other local sales taxes recently authorized
under State law for affordable housing, this sales tax is added to the total amount paid by the
consumer and is not credited against the State sales tax.
Revenue received from this tax is restricted to the uses authorized in State law. Under
RCW 82.14.530(2)(a), at least 60% of the revenue collected from the sales tax must be used for
the following purposes:
• Constructing affordable housing, which may include new units of affordable housing
within an existing structure, and facilities providing housing -related services; provided,
that such affordable housing and facilities must serve individuals whose income is at
or below 60% of county median income and are included in one or more of the
following categories: persons with behavior health disabilities; veterans; senior
citizens; homeless families with children, or such families who are at -risk of being
homeless; unaccompanied homeless youth or young adults; persons with disabilities;
or domestic violence survivors;
• Constructing mental and behavioral health -related facilities; or
• Funding the operations and maintenance costs of new units of affordable housing and
facilities where housing -related programs are provided, or newly constructed
evaluation and treatment centers.
A county or city may determine to narrow the allowable uses of the tax revenue in its authorizing
ordinance or policies, such as directing tax revenue to support very low income individuals at or
below 30% of median income, so long as such uses are consistent with the statute.
Any remaining sales tax revenue (up to 40%) must be used for qualifying services and
operations, including the operation, delivery or evaluation of mental and behavior health treatment
programs and services, or housing -related services. RCW 82.14.530(2)(b).
Revenues received from the sales tax may be used to offset reductions in State and federal
funds, but no more than 10% of the sales tax revenue may be used to supplant existing local funds.
RCW 82.14.530(6).
2 For instance, the local sales tax credit available under Substitute House Bill 1406 (codified at RCW 82.14.540).

To provide capital financing for the construction or provision of affordable housing and
qualifying facilities and centers, a city or county may issue general obligation or revenue bonds
for such purposes, and may use and pledge up to 50% of the revenue collected from the sales tax
to the repayment of such bonds. RCW 82.14.530(5). Due to this limitation, the city or county
will need to have other available funds to pay debt service on the bonds, such as general funds in
the event of general obligation bonds.
RCW 82.14.530 does not contain a sunset provision or limit how many years a city or
county may impose the sales tax.
B. New Options for Imposing the Sales and Use Tax under RCW 82.14.530
As an alternative to seeking voter approval, under HB 1590 a city or county may impose
the sales tax under RCW 82.14.530 by simple majority vote of the council. With regard to timing,
HB 1590 temporarily revived each county's exclusive right to first access the tax until
September 30, 2020. Now that the September 30, 2020 deadline has passed, cities or counties may
impose the tax up to the full 0.1% (by voter approval or councilmanic action). If a county imposes
the tax first, however, cities within the county will not be able to impose the tax (or will be limited
to any remainder, if the county imposes less than the full 0.1%).
Spokane County (the "County") did not impose this sales tax by the September 30, 2020
deadline, leaving the option open for cities located in the County. If the County determines to
impose the sales tax after a city located in the County imposes the tax, the County will be required
to provide a credit to the city against its sales tax for the full amount of the city's tax.
RCW 82.14.530(1)(c).
III. Conclusion
While HB 1590 does not authorize a new sales tax to address homelessness, the
amendments accelerate the process for implementing this local financing tool. Cities and counties
may now benefit from this tax, and use the revenue with other tools in the toolbox to address the
housing crisis, sooner than previously authorized.

Memorandum
To: City Council
From: Cary Driskell, City Attorney
CC: Mark Calhoun, City Manager
Date: December 22, 2020
Re: Potential conflicts of interest relating to campaign donations
Question Presented: All Councilmembers who have run for office and been elected have
accepted campaign donations from residents or businesses in our community. Does a campaign
donation preclude a Councilmember from voting on a motion relating to the donor as a conflict
of interest?
Brief Answer: Generally speaking no, unless the Councilmember believes they cannot be
objective and unbiased in their consideration and vote.
Analysis: This issue relates to whether campaign -related activities for a candidate, specifically
campaign donations of one kind or another, requires that a Councilmember recuse themselves
from consideration of a decision relating to the person making the donation. Generally speaking,
a person gets elected to a Council position because they are well known in the community to a
lot of people, which makes for good representation and communication in the community. It
would not be good public policy to punish someone for these ties.
We have had this issue raised in the past, typically during public comment, asserting that a
member of Council should not participate in a particular discussion and vote. The City does not
have adopted regulations on this, instead relying like most cities on the statewide rules adopted
and enforced by the Washington State Public Disclosure Commission (PDC).
In such instances, the PDC's stated position is that a campaign donation properly made and
properly reported does not on its face constitute an improper act. Instead, it becomes an
individualized analysis. The touch stone is your ability to fairly consider and vote on this matter.
Any time you have a proposed action before you where you have more than a casual tie to the
*CONFIDENTIAL*
ATTORNEY CLIENT PRIVILEGED INFORMATION
matter, you should do an internal mental analysis to determine whether you can make an
unbiased assessment and vote on it. You should consider the remoteness of the relationship to
any party or issue. You may want to also consider what the public perception would be of your
participation based on how close you are to the parties or issue at hand.
If you think there would be concern about potential partiality in your decision -making, then I
would further recommend that you disclose the potential conflict at the dais, discuss whether you
think you can be unbiased in your analysis and decision -making, and then recuse or not based on
your decision.
Conclusion: The bottom line is we as a City want the public to have confidence that the
decisions you make are the right ones, and that they are made for the right reasons and without
undue bias or conflict of interest.
The most important question is whether the Councilmember believes they can be fair and
unbiased in hearing and considering the issue. Based on how a Councilmember feels about that,
they can determine whether they need to recuse themselves.
As always, please feel free to call me with any questions regarding this issue.
