WHEREAS,
PK,OCLA MA7I09V
City of Spokane valley, Washington
Welcoming and Incfiisive Community
We recognize the disturbing trend showing an increase in acts of violence and aggression
targeting individuals and institutions on the basis of race or faith; and
Beginning in 2020 there has been a regional and nationwide trend of increased
discrimination, hate and violence against Asian -American communities — from young adults
to our most vulnerable elderly — exacerbated in part by false narratives and xenophobia
around the coronavirus; and
These ongoing and reprehensible displays of hate too often go unnoticed and unreported,
perpetuating a myth that minorities will be complacent and stay silent, even when being
targeted and harmed; and
WHEREAS, Hate, violence and bias are not accepted in our community especially when targeting or
scapegoating individuals based on their religion, race or identity; and
WHEREAS, Freedom of religion is a foundational pillar of our Constitution and a cornerstone of our
national identity; and
WHEREAS, The first amendment to the Constitution established the United States as a country committed
to the principles of tolerance and religious freedom, and the 14th amendment to the
Constitution established equal protection of the laws as the heart of justice in the United
States; and
WHEREAS, Each of us has a personal responsibility to prevent the spread of misinformation, condemn
violent acts in any form, support all fellow community members, and reject stigma, hate and
bias in all its forms; and
WHEREAS, We condemn those who exploit bigotry and weaponize hate and target traditionally persecuted
peoples, including but not limited to African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans, Asian
Americans, Pacific Islanders, other people of color, Jews, Muslims, Hindus, Sikhs, the LGBTQ
community, immigrants, and others, with verbal attacks, incitement, and violence.
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Ben Wick, Mayor of the City of Spokane Valley, on behalf of the Spokane Valley City
Council and the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley, do hereby proclaim our renewed and ongoing
commitment to be a
Welcoming and Inclusive Community
and I urge all citizens to join in our City's commitment to be free of racism, so all who live, work, and play in
Spokane Valley feel belonged.
Dated this 13th day of April, 2021.

ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge 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.
Mayor Wick announced that out of respect for the City's, Washington D.C. Lobbyist Mr. Bennett Resnik
with Cardinal Infrastructure who is on the East Coast, this item will be taken up first.
3. Federal Legislative Update — Mark Calhoun, John Hohman
City Manager Calhoun said our federal legislative agenda was last updated March 2020; mentioned the
upcoming GSI (Greater Spokane, Inc.) virtual fly -in and that we want to be prepared for those
Councilmembers who want to participate; that tonight Mr. Hohman will be talking about a variety of
familiar capital projects proposed to include in this federal agenda.
Deputy City Manager Hohman said we have included several capital projects and policy items on previous
federal agendas, and that the policy items were included to streamline the federal process in the
implementation of the projects; he noted we are looking for Cardinal to schedule some one-on-one
discussions; that we are also working with GSI and are looking to have our information to them to include
in their own information when they do the Washington, D.C. fly -in. Mr. Hohman explained that tonight he
feels it would be prudent to go back to the five projects for community solicitation as noted on the RCA
and selected by Council. He also mentioned that we feel there will be changes coming with the new
administration, but that doesn't mean Council shouldn't look at other items they might want to add and then
work to lobby for those projects; and that Council can talk through any additions then Mr. Resnik can
weigh-in to help share those items to move forward with our delegation.
Councilmember Thompson said she likes the idea of showing support for the railroad crossing program and
having a statement of policy and acknowledge that our congressional delegation is working on that.
Councilmember Woodard said he agrees about encouraging these projects, including the Sullivan/Trent
railroad crossing; said we have thee of the top nineteen grade crossings in the state so it's nice to have the
acknowledgement that we have a serious issue that needs to be taken care of; he also mentioned the need

to clarify the $22.3 million and of the need to finish sewering some areas of the city, especially if we can
help the homeowners. Mayor Wick said that having the dedicated funding source for the grade separation
project will benefit us and that it would be good to help advocate for that. Mr. Resnik said there have been
overall significant differences to the political landscape from that of last years and of the idea of updating
the federal agenda to reflect these new political realities; he mentioned our support for Senator Cantwell's
efforts to provide additional funding for grade separation projects, and that we support additional funding
to the FRA (Federal Railroad Administration) on their marketing campaigns to help community safety
policies as they cross at the grade. There was also some discussion about including the corridor realignment
where two major railroads will align into one corridor. Councilmember Higgins said that the congressional
delegation has represented us well and perhaps a letter from the Mayor to outline these in detail might serve
us better. Mr. Hohman said we have a one -page description but that can be modified. Mayor Wick suggested
the idea of explaining why these two top policies considerations are included. Councilmember Thompson
said she like having a more detailed explanation from the Mayor and stating that we stand ready to bring
more data to include the impact of what's happening in our city. Deputy Mayor Peetz said she also agrees
with these suggestions as did Councilmember Hattenburg and Councilmember Haley; Councilmember
Woodard added that he likes what Mr. Resnik added about the press -release announcement in support as
we need those public service announcements. Mr. Calhoun said staff will try to bring something to Council
by next week for a motion consideration.
Mr. Resnik also spoke about the American Rescue Plan and eligibility and that he awaits the Department
of Treasury to provide guidelines on how funding will be issued; he mentioned the three areas of water,
sewer and broadband, that they won't make a leap to apply it to other infrastructure investments although
the Department of Treasury has some flexibility. There was also some discussion on defining water, with
Mr. Resnik adding that he feels the River Loop Trail won't be included, but we need to wait and see how
that is defined; and one he has a comprehensive definition of water, he will send that to Mr. Calhoun and
Mr. Hohman in order to develop guidelines and avoid ambiguity. Mr. Hohman also noted staff will bring
back more information as soon as possible. Council and staff thanked Mr. Resnik for joining the meeting
tonight.
1. 2021 Construction Projects Update — Bill Helbig, Gloria Mantz
After City Engineer Helbig explained that this agenda item is an opportunity for Council to receive an
update on the 2021 construction projects, Engineering Manager Mantz went through the PowerPoint
explaining the Barker Road corridor projects, intersection improvement projects, pavement preservation
projects, pedestrian improvement projects, stormwater improvement projects, bridge maintenance projects,
safety projects, and park projects.
2. Parking Evaluations — Bill Helbig, Jerremy Clark
City Engineer Helbig explained that tonight's presentation is an extension of the presentation given to
Council February 16; he mentioned the methods used to bring attention to a parking request, as well as
some of the more typical concerns such as parked cars blocking a driveway or infringing upon private
property. Traffic Engineering Manager Clark then went through the remaining PowerPoint slides and
discussed current evaluations on three specific areas: (1) Conklin Road Valleyway to Broadway, (2) 4th
Avenue west of Thierman, and (3) Jackson Avenue west of Wilbur. Regarding Conklin Road, Mr. Clark
mentioned that the City received a letter that stated the multifamily development in that area has resulted
in on -street parking; he mentioned the authority of a traffic engineer per the State's WAC, and that given
the paved width, parking restrictions by the Traffic Engineer may only be placed on one side of the roadway,
and a review of crash history shows no crashes on this section of Conklin Road in the past five years. He
also noted that based on site visits and evaluation, there is no operational or safety need for parking
restrictions along Conklin Road in this area, adding that he is not planning on putting no parking signs on
Conklin. Concerning 4th Avenue west of Thierman, he said there was a citizen complaint of someone
parking adjacent to the sidewalk causing obstructions to traffic; and that after multiple field visits, vehicles

DRAFT
were observed parked adjacent to the north curb and they did cause an obstruction to traffic. Mr. Clark
explained that a review of crash history shows that one of the three crashes was caused by a vehicle parked
on 4th Avenue. He also noted there have been reported concerns regarding parked cars when the City
performs winter maintenance on 4th Avenue. Per the information noted on slide 10, Mr. Clark said a
proposed solution is to install no parking signs on both directions of 4th Avenue. Regarding Jackson Avenue
west of Wilbur, Mr. Clark noted we have received complaints of junk vehicles and of extended parking
along both sides of the signed no -parking zone. Of note, he said that although there is no operational or
safety need for a no -parking zone in this area, it is codified in Spokane County's Code and no parking
signage has been maintained on both sides of Jackson Avenue.
Council and staff discussion included people placing their own no parking signs and questioning the reasons
for doing that; cars belonging to people in apartment complexes are parking along the street, but that the
City right-of-way on Conklin for example, accommodates on -street parking. Further discussion included
people parking on other people's lawn, and that other than parking based on required spaces within the
complex based on a particular complex, that we do not have parking requirements for apartment complexes
for such things as street parking. It was mentioned that some apartment complexes charge for an apartment
if a parking garage is included, which motivates some people not to accept those garages and instead, park
on the streets. Councilmember Woodard stated that around 2016, the idea was to create an incentive to have
apartments along bus routes and it would be interesting to see if that did create an incentive.
There was also Council discussion about safety issues and no -parking signs; whether an apartment complex
owner has responsibility to enforce code enforcement issues such as junk vehicles and whose responsibility
is it to do something about parking on private property. Mr. Driskell said staff could examine development
standards regarding parking; and he also cautioned Council as per training from WCIA (Washington Cities
Insurance Authority), to avoid political engineering, and instead listen to the traffic engineer and our other
professionals. Mr. Clark said he is not proposing any no -parking zones and currently there is nothing in our
code on no -parking zones. There was Council consensus to place the issue of parking on the advance
agenda.
4. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
There were no suggested changes to the advance agenda other than the previously mentioned parking
topic.
5. Council Comments — Mayor Wick
Councilmember Thompson extended thanks for the Department of Health's excellent job getting out
information regarding vaccines.
6. City Manager Comments — Mark Calhoun
Mr. Calhoun had no additional comments.
It was moved by Councilmember Woodard, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 7:38 p.m.

2. Motion Consideration: Federal Legislative Agenda — Mark Calhoun, John Hohman
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to approve the 2021 Federal Legislative Agenda as
proposed. City Manager Calhoun went over some of the information contained in the Request for Council
Action and that this was discussed last week and the agenda includes the five proposed projects as well as
one policy change which incorporates an increase to aid in the improvement of rail safety. Mr. Calhoun
mentioned that Mr. Bennett Resnik from Cardinal Infrastructure has zoomed in to tonight's meeting.
Deputy City Manager Hohman went over the five projects as well as our collaboration with the County and
City of Spokane on the River Loop Project; said the policy change for support of the rail crossing funding
is to make people aware these crossings are hazardous. Mr. Hohman noted the consolidation of the rail lines
within our jurisdiction, said that Mr. Resnik will be working on the cover letter and once this is finalized it
will be brought before Council. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous.
Opposed: none. Motion carried.
3. Motion Consideration: Mayoral Appointment of Citizen to County Conservation Futures Committee —
Mayor Wick
After a brief explanation of this committee and appointment process, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz
and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointment of Mr. Bob Peregoy to the County Conservation Futures
Land Evaluation Committee. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous.
Opposed: none. Motion carried.
4. Motion Consideration: Mayoral Appointment to Streets Sustainability Committee — Bill Helbig, Adam
Jackson
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointments to the Streets
Sustainability Committee as identified in the list above, with all appointments beginning immediately and
expiring on December 31, 2021. City Engineer Helbig explained that this is the continuation of the ongoing
process of the pavement maintenance program. Mr. Jackson added that there hasn't been much public input
concerning the methods of funding the pavement program; that this committee was discussed several times
and will be used to seek public input; he also went over the three initial goals of the committee which
include evaluating citizen interest and support for maintaining city streets and suggesting pavement
condition goals; identifying preference for maintaining city streets, types of treatments used, and long-term
levels of service; and investigating current revenues and potential future funding sources for maintaining
city streets at the recommended level of service. Mr. Jackson said the committee will formulate their

opinions based on public input including public meetings; and a report will come back to Council in the
fall.
Councilmember Haley asked how many of the selected participants live in Spokane Valley as opposed to
having a business here as it seems a lot of this work will only affect Spokane Valley. Mr. Jackson replied
that he did not have that information. Councilmember Haley said she is not in favor of this motion as she
thinks the timing is bad, that staff needs to work on the Covid response and help businesses, and again, she
doesn't know how many members live in our City limits. Mr. Hohman said that although he doesn't have
a tally of those who live here, the committee is comprised of many stakeholders who were involved five
years ago during the utility tax discussions; that having stakeholders is a part of this as well as citizens and
business owners, and that staff tried to get a big cross-section of the population; he also noted that eventually
non -prioritized options will be provided to Council, and that he anticipates staff will be able to handle this
work. Mr. Calhoun noted the meetings will be public and run through September; and said he anticipates it
will take a month or so afterwards to generate a report, and that staff will get back to Council as soon as
possible. There were no public comments. Vote by acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Wick, Deputy Mayor
Peetz, and Councilmembers Hattenburg and Thompson. Opposed: Councilmembers Haley, Higgins, and
Woodard. Motion carried.
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY 121:
After Mayor Wick explained the process for giving public comment, it was mentioned that one person had
signed up to speak: Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: said she likes to drive around the valley and she
see projects with no sidewalks or curbs; said she favors the police body worn cameras but the only drawback
is the cost and she suggested that be included in the Sheriff's Office contract; mentioned the 2019 audit and
thanked Councilmembers for that audit; said she wants Council to be fugal.
ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
5. Potential Grant Opportunity, Spokane Regional Transportation Council Preservation Call for Projects —
Adam Jackson
Mr. Jackson explained about the potential grant opportunity through SRTC's call for projects that makes
$6 million of federal funding available to SRTC members; and of that about $4.3 to $5.2 million will be
available for Spokane Valley to compete with other agencies. He explained about when the funds would be
available, that they are limited to preservation treatments only and what that includes; and he talked about
the minimum match requirements. He said that after evaluating the program requirements, staff selected
three projects that are expected to be the most competitive for this call for projects, as shown on the RCA,
and that all three projects involve some degree of asphalt grinding with a subsequent asphalt inlay and/or
overlay; he also stated that the projects will be in our six -year TIP. There was Council consensus to bring
this back to Council April 6 for a motion consideration.
6. Purchase of Police Body Worn Cameras — Chief Ellis, Sheriff Knezovich, Morgan Koudelka
After a brief introductory statement from Police Chief Ellis, Sr. Administrative Analyst Koudelka went
over the background information contained in the Request for Council Action including discontinued
support of the current Digital Evidence Management System (DEMS); the applicable current Interlocal
agreement language concerning termination of the agreement regarding County owned vehicles and/or
equipment used to provide services; and the capital purchases section of that Interlocal; and the County's
and our share of the cost including our budget information for law enforcement services. Mr. Koudelka also
stated that the bundle package the County proposes is less expensive than buying the DEMS, Tasers and
Body Worn Cameras separately and would allow the camera to be fully integrated with DEMS which would
facilitate easier, time -saving storage of recorded footage. Chief Ellis then went through the PowerPoint
showing the highlights of the body camera project including benefits, costs, and timelines and that full
agency -wide deployment is expected by December 2021.

Chief Ellis mentioned that the items would include a full warranty; and Sheriff Knezovich added that the
items last about five years and the contract with the vendor also renews every five years; and that there is a
very comprehensive draft policy and procedures which was written by a risk liability company. Chief Ellis
said that the cost includes two additional staff for public record requests, and a one -quarter legal counsel
position. Concerning costs, City Manager Calhoun said that for the April 6 meeting, he will recruit the
Finance Director to talk about budget implications, and that our fist budget amendment is coming in May.
There was Council consensus to come back April for a motion consideration.
7. Advance Agenda — Mayor Wick
Deputy Mayor Peetz explained that the Chamber's will be conducting a meeting in the morning and of them
wanting more information about the Covid funding. Mayor Wick said he spoke with staff from the Spokane
Valley Partners about giving Council a presentation, and of perhaps including Second Harvest and their
food distribution, and there was Council consensus to add that to the advance agenda. Councilmember
Thompson said she would like the way finding signs item moved up on the agenda; also mentioned that she
would like signs for some of the projects to let people know about the projects, and maybe entrance signs
into City Hall. Mr. Calhoun acknowledged that way finding signs is on the pending agenda item list, and
said he will see about moving that up. Councilmember Thompson also said she would like a statement
issued to recognize that has happened in Atlanta and Colorado as she wants to be supportive of Asian
Americans and let people know that we value every citizen. Mayor Wick suggested a proclamation and that
perhaps we could promote that.
8. Department Monthly Reports
These reports were for information only and were not discussed or reported.
CITY MANAGER COMMENTS:
Regarding tonight's Vietnam Veterans proclamation, City Manager Calhoun reminded Council there will
be a flag raising outside in front of City Hall, March 29, and that details will be available through social
media for those interested in attending. He also mentioned that effective yesterday, all Washington counties
have moved to Covid restriction, phase 3; said that regarding holding in -person City Council meetings, that
hasn't changed from phase 2; that we are limited to the number of those attending in -person, and that he
and staff will be meeting to discuss this topic and will bring an administrative report to Council at the April
6 meeting. Mr. Calhoun also mentioned receipt of Moody's annual comment report which reaffirms our
Aa2 rating.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second Reading Proposed Ordinance No. 21-004 — amendments to chapter
7.50 SVMC, regulations governing camping on public property.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020; Martin v. Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th. Cir. 2019);
Chapter 7.50 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Numerous discussions in 2019 on issues related to
homelessness; City Council adopted chapter 7.50 SVMC governing camping on public property on
November 12, 2019 (Ordinance No. 19-019); City Council heard an administrative report on March 2,
2021; City Council had a first reading on April 6, 2021.
BACKGROUND: Like many of the larger communities on the west coast, Spokane Valley has been
experiencing significantly more impacts from the increasing issue of homelessness over the past several
years. The causes of homelessness are complex and varied. The City has been working to address a
variety of homelessness related issues on numerous fronts, including ongoing discussions with Spokane
and Spokane County for a young adult shelter and a continuous stay transitional shelter, hiring a new
homeless coordinator, identifying a designated homelessness engagement deputy from the Spokane
Valley Police Department, coordination with the Regional Behavioral Health Unit, evaluating the SVMC
and Comprehensive Plan as they relate to different homeless -related service facilities, and work on a
comprehensive housing action plan. Additionally, in late 2019, the City adopted comprehensive
regulations governing camping on public property, and has worked over the last year with outside
agencies and Spokane Valley Police Officers to implement those regulations with the goal being to find
the most effective way to permanently house those who are currently experiencing homelessness, while
reducing conflicts with residents and business owners.
The regulations adopted in 2019 provide the following:
1. Generally prohibits camping on public property, including rights -of -way (roadways, sidewalks),
stormwater property, City Hall, parks and park facilities. The prohibition does not prevent parking of
unoccupied vehicles or in designated campgrounds.
2. Prohibits encampments, which are characterized by accumulations of belongings typically
associated with camping out. Generally, removal of an encampment requires at least a 48-hour notice
to vacate, after which any remaining belongings will be collected and stored for at least 60 days, with
notice posted near where the belongings were collected, and providing information on where they
could be collected.
3. Consistent with Martin v. Boise, the criminal provisions are not enforced if shelter bed space is not
available. However, the suspension does not apply to City Hall grounds, Balfour Park, and Mirabeau
Meadow/CenterPlace grounds, where camping is never allowed.
The regulations were based on specific public health and safety issues identified with those experiencing
homelessness that were camping on public property, as well as recognition of the legal rights of those
experiencing homelessness and the limits on the City's enforcement authority. As identified in the
governing case of Martin v. Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th. Cir. 2019), cities have authority to preclude public
camping, with some significant constraints. The primary holding in the Martin case was that individuals
Page 1 of 4
experiencing homelessness have a constitutional right to conduct life -sustaining activities, including
sleeping on certain public properties. To that end, the City is precluded from punishing someone
(whether by criminal citation or arrest) based upon their status as being homeless. Practically, the Court
found that if there was no homeless shelter bed space available at the time enforcement was sought, then
the person could not be cited or arrested. However, the Court went on to say that cities could identify
certain areas where no public camping could occur, so long as there was not a total ban on all public
property.
Implementation has been an evolving process, with a multi -faceted approach that recognizes: (1) those
experiencing homelessness have constitutional rights to conduct life -sustaining activities, including
sleeping on certain public property when there are no available shelter beds available; (2) enforcement of
the City's camping regulations does not necessarily result in a permanent solution for the City, public, or
those experiencing homelessness; (3) enforcement can still be a tool to assist in prompting those
experiencing homelessness into working with the City and outside agencies to find more permanent
solutions, including procuring necessary services and permanent housing; and (4) enforcement is also
necessary in certain instances and public locations to address significant public health and safety impacts
from illegal camping and to ensure that public property may continue to be used for its intended purposes.
Through this approach, the City has assisted 21 people in finding permanent housing who were
previously living on the streets of Spokane Valley.
Through the last year, City staff and the Spokane Valley Police have identified areas where the
regulations could be amended to ensure adequate protection of public health and safety as well as clearly
providing for allowance for the City and outside agencies to work with individuals to exit homelessness
rather than just issuing a criminal citation or arrest. The proposed amendments are generally as follows:
1. Add additional areas where camping is always prohibited. These areas include:
a. Appleway Trail, Spokane Valley Precinct, and Spokane Valley Street Maintenance
Shop. Like City Hall, camping at the Precinct or Maintenance Shop would create
significant interference with necessary daily public safety operations and maintenance
operations. There have been a number of issues identified with camping along the
Appleway Trail, and the impacts are more pronounced since there is limited vehicular
access to portions of the Trail and there are businesses and residences along both sides of
the Trail.
b. Structures, facilities, and fixtures at parks, including shelters, playground equipment,
pools, reservable ballfields or courts, and bathrooms and the area within 30 feet of such
facilities. These facilities were specifically constructed for recreational purposes and are
reserved regularly by the public for recreation purposes. Illegal camping in these
facilities has a greater and more significant impact on park users than in other open
spaces, as these facilities are the primary facilities used most often by families, including
families with younger children. The City has seen direct negative effects from illegal
camping in these types of facilities over the last year, including excessive littering
impacting the ability of the public to use these facilities, public urination and defecation
within view of these types of public users, and the public being locked out of being able
to have any use of these facilities, as in at least one instance an illegal camper locked
themselves in a public bathroom for an extended number of days. Permanently
restricting these facilities will allow public use and minimize the significant impacts that
can stem from illegal camping, including reducing the conflicts that occur between illegal
campers and other park -users, creating a safer environment for all people in the parks.
This restriction is limited to constructed facilities, which still leaves a significant amount
of public open space and natural areas where camping would be illegal, but with
suspended enforcement if there are no available shelter beds as required pursuant to
Martin.
Page 2 of 4
c. Public rights of way and City -owned real property within 30 feet of the right-of-way,
and City -owned stormwater drainage facilities. These facilities have a very specific use
for (1) vehicular and pedestrian travel, and (2) handling of stormwater drainage and
runoff. Thus, there are significant safety concerns for campers and the traveling public if
camping is allowed within the rights -of -way. Further, camping in public drainage
facilities creates a significant risk to water going back into the aquifer because of the
possibility for contamination through human waste, littering, or other hazardous materials
that might be left on site. Stormwater is treated through natural infiltration processes, so
such contamination would have a direct negative effect on water treatment. Further,
stormwater facilities do not function as designed if they become compacted by constant
foot traffic and camping activity. Finally, given that stormwater facilities act as basins to
collect excess water, this will also limit safety issues that illegal campers may encounter
from camping where such excess water is likely to occur. As discussed above, there are
still a number of public places where camping could occur which, though still illegal,
would have enforcement suspended pursuant to Martin.
2. Clarify that the camping regulations only apply to City -owned or maintained public property.
The City has encountered questions about how its regulations should be applied to public property owned
by other public agencies. Rather than attempt to address legal issues related to whether and how Martin
might apply to other public property, staff recommend limiting the camping regulations to City -owned or
maintained property. Other public property owners still have avenues for addressing camping on their
property such as through trespass.
3. Clarify and codify the City's current approach and philosophy to focus on working with
individuals to get them assistance and services to help them exit homelessness. The proposed
amendments make clear that the City and/or law enforcement may temporarily suspend enforcement
against an individual who is actively engaged in the process of exiting homelessness. The process to
engage in supportive services and acquire transitional or permanent housing can take from weeks to
months. Criminally charging or displacing a person camping solely because of that camping while he or
she is pursuing an exit from homelessness will delay or terminate that pursuit. A person engaged in the
process of exiting homelessness must still comply with all other applicable laws and rules, such as
littering, illegal drug use, or laws related to public decency or the public peace, and police may still
enforce such laws as necessary and appropriate. Additionally, the City will continue to work with
campers to limit conflicts with other park users.
Changes to proposed amendments since First Reading: As identified during the first reading, SVMC
7.50.030(A) was modified to clarify that the City may remove personal belongings, contraband, garbage,
and other items without 48 hours' notice when the items or camp presents a significant risk of harm.
Importantly, as identified above, the camping regulations are just one of the many tools that the City is
using as a means to address homelessness and to help people to actively work towards exiting
homelessness. The City continues to work on identifying and prioritizing the needs for reducing existing
homelessness and preventing additional homelessness. These proposed changes will work in concert with
components of a formalized plan to encourage those currently experiencing homelessness to address the
underlying conditions leading to homelessness and pursue income, employment, and
tenant/resident/owner life -skills that will allow these individuals to achieve permanent housing and
maintain that permanently -housed status.
OPTIONS: Move to approve, with or without further amendments; or take other action deemed
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance No. 21-004, adopting
amendments to chapter 7.50 SVMC.

SPOKANE COUNTY, WASHINGTON
ORDINANCE NO. 21-004
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, SPOKANE COUNTY,
WASHINGTON, AMENDING CHAPTER 7.50 OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL
CODE REGARDING REGULATION OF CAMPING ON PUBLIC PROPERTY, AND
OTHER MATTERS RELATING THERETO.
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley (City) is a non -charter optional code city as provided in Title
35A RCW and incorporated under the laws of the state of Washington; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Article XI, Section 11 of the Washington Constitution and RCW 35A.11.020,
the City is authorized to regulate City -owned public property, including City Hall, CenterPlace, parks, public
rights -of -way, and all other public property within the City; and
WHEREAS, camping on public property, including City Hall, CenterPlace, the Appleway Trail, the
Spokane Valley Police Precinct, the Spokane Valley Maintenance Shop, parks, park fixtures, structures, and
facilities, public rights -of -way, stormwater drainage facilities, and other public property, is a significant public
health and safety concern due to interference with other intended uses, including, but not limited to daily
operations of the City, events at CenterPlace, pedestrian and bicycle use along the Appleway Trail, park
recreational fixtures, structures, facilities, and activities, provision of police services and public safety services,
pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular traffic, and other public uses; and
WHEREAS, camping without adequate sanitation services, such as sewer, water, and garbage, presents
a significant public health and safety concern due to increased risk of spread of disease and potential for citizens
contracting illnesses; and
WHEREAS, public property is intended for, and should be, available to the public for its intended
purposes, including daily City operations, park recreational use, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular transportation,
and other public uses; and
WHEREAS, camping in such public areas does not allow the public to use those areas for the intended
purposes; and
WHEREAS, camping should only occur in designated campgrounds with proper facilities; and
WHEREAS, pursuant to Martin v. City of Boise, 920 F.3d 584 (9th Cir. 2019) the Ninth Circuit Court of
Appeals (1) determined that the United States Constitution prohibits imposition of criminal penalties for sitting,
sleeping, or lying outside on public property, on homeless individuals who could not obtain shelter; and (2)
identified that ordinances prohibiting sitting, lying, or sleeping outside at particular times or in particular
locations may be constitutionally permissible since other public space would still be available, regardless of
available shelter space; and
WHEREAS, on November 12, 2019, the City adopted chapter 7.50 SVMC to regulate camping on public
property; and
WHEREAS, the City has seen success in its recent collaborative efforts with outside agencies to assist
persons experiencing homelessness with obtaining permanent housing and moving towards exiting
homelessness; and
WHEREAS, the City Council recognizes the importance of working with our Housing and Homeless
Coordinator, outside and contracted agencies to increase success rates of exiting homelessness; and
Ordinance 21-004 Camping Regulation Amendments Page 1 of 7
DRAFT
WHEREAS the City desires to balance the time, efforts, programs, and work of those providing
assistance to those experiencing homelessness to work towards exiting homelessness with the need to provide
for public health and safety by providing lawful limits on the impacts from illegal camping and to ensure that
the City and public may still use City property for intended purposes, including but not limited to daily City
operations, park recreational use, pedestrian, bicycle and vehicular transportation, stormwater control, and other
public purposes; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the regulatory requirements established by the proposed
amendments provide for lawful limits on illegal camping to provide for public health and safety and to allow
public use of City facilities for intended purposes, while also ensuring the rights and opportunities of those
experiencing homelessness are appropriately maintained and protected; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that pursuant to the Court's decision in Martin, there would still be
a significant amount of public space available, if there is not sufficient shelter space, even after adoption of the
proposed amendments prohibiting camping within certain locations of the City regardless of available shelter
space; and
WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that the regulatory requirements established by the proposed
amendments are necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare.
NOW, THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley ordains as follows:

OVERVIEW
HOSPITALITY BUSINESS
RECOVERY CAMPAIGN
From June 2020 - April 2021, Visit Spokane has spent more money advertising Spokane
County than any time in the organization's history. The $2.5 million in Cares Act funding
booked over $5 million in hotel room revenue for Spokane County hotels in the worst year
for hotel occupancy in recent history.
With a 2-to-1 return on our advertising, Spokane County fared much better than our
competitive cities. Spokane County had an occupancy rate double that of Seattle and had
a higher RevPar than both Seattle and Portland in 2020.

GOALS
THE PRIMARY GOALS FOR THE 2020-2021
LEISURE CAMPAIGN WERE AS FOLLOWS:
1. Encourage overnight stays in the Spokane region.
2. Promote activities that visitors could do safely during the pandemic.
3. Position Spokane as a safe and attractive alternative to Portland and Seattle.
4. Develop a creative campaign that brings the brand to life and can last after the pandemic.
MESSAGING
ARE WE THERE YET?
Our goal was to safely bring visitors to the
Spokane region to experience the many
"outdoor" activities and uncrowded places
to explore. Since most people weren't
comfortable flying during the pandemic,
we wanted to target the drive market,
and reach people that were looking to get
outside and away from their "work from
home" lives.
All-..m.P.-.-d
In addition, our goal was to build future
engagement with Spokane and the region.
We wanted visitors to book hotel
rooms and explore Spokane, but it was
imperative that the campaign be built on
the foundation of safety first.
We needed them to know that we were
very aware and keeping current with the
ever changing landscape of the pandemic,
and doing everything possible to keep
visitors and our community safe.
READY

ROOM TiO
ROA
CREATIVE STRATEGY & DIRECTION
The illustrated characters checked
a diverse set of boxes for messaging
during the Covid-19 pandemic. The
first of which was not having to put
people in masks in the creative.
People in masks were not only
unappealing, but they also assured
that none of the assets could be used
after the pandemic.
The illustrated animals leaned
into the brand tagline Creative by
Nature while not opening Spokane
to unnecessary social or political
criticism. Room to Roam summed up
everything everyone wanted at the
time, especially in crowded cities such
as Seattle and Portland.
The animals lend themselves to
character development and eventually
brand development. Most importantly,
they're whimsical: they're fun; and
they're unexpected.
Standing out comes with inherent
risk, but it is necessary if we ever
hope to separate Spokane from our
competitive markets.
Mixing live action video footage
and regional photos of inviting
outdoor destinations with illustrated
characters was very intentional. We
knew we wanted to include illustration
in order to set Visit Spokane apart
from the myriad of traditional DMO
campaigns, but we also understood
that people enjoy seeing the places
they are going to visit.
By using anthropomorphized animals
as subjects, it allowed us to peak
interest in the campaign, while also
reaching a wide range of people that
would be able to identify and relate
to these critters. We chose to use a
diverse mix of species, native as well
as animals from other countries to
symbolize welcoming people from
all backgrounds. For the animated
TV spots / broadcast we showed our
illustrated characters enjoying a range
of local / regional activities, but also
made sure to include "point of view
shots" so the viewers could imagine
themselves in their shoes and those
locations.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Fairchild Air Force Base Training Center Partnership
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Interlocal Agreement for Law Enforcement Services 17-104.00
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: N/A
BACKGROUND: The Spokane County Sheriff's Office has been utilizing the former Mountain
View Middle School (East Valley School District) as its training center since 2015. This
arrangement has been considered temporary as the asset still belongs to East Valley School
District and could be reclaimed for school district use at any time. While the lease amount for that
facility is nominal, the Sheriff's Office is responsible for all necessary repairs and maintenance.
In addition, needs for firearms training and emergency vehicle driving training have also been
satisfied in a temporary nature with limited access and additional cost.
The Sheriff's Office has partnered with Fairchild Air Force Base to construct a permanent small
arms range and training center that will provide local training opportunities that will provide greater
availability, reducing travel and overtime costs.
The capital costs of $36 million will be covered through Air Force contributions and Spokane
County real estate excise dollars.
Operational costs will be split among users of the facility, and Spokane Valley's estimated share
is expected to be $185,000, or less than 1% of the current law enforcement budget.
Because no capital costs are being passed onto Spokane Valley, there are no contractual
obligations to satisfy. Spokane County and the Sheriff's Office have kept City staff appraised of
this project.
OPTIONS: Discussion
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $185,000 additional costs to the law enforcement contract
(partially offset with the reduction of repair and maintenance costs of the existing leased training
facility, and other rental costs for firearms and driving training). These costs will begin in 2022
and will be incorporated into the 2022 budget submitted to Council.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Law Enforcement Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Interlocal Agreement for Law Enforcement Services 17-104.00
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council authorized execution of agreement on July 25,
2017.
BACKGROUND: On June 5, 2016, Council established goals for law enforcement services
and authorized the City Manager to begin negotiations with Spokane County and the Sheriff's
Office to include those goals in the interlocal agreement for law enforcement services. On July
25, 2017, Council adopted the new interlocal agreement that included those negotiated goals.
One of the conditions Council placed as a high priority was the requirement that Council have
an opportunity to review the contract prior to an automatic renewal of the contract. This
presentation is the first step in that review, which is a review of the first three years. Staff will
come back to Council toward the end of 2022 to ask for Council authorization for the renewal.
Term: Five years through December 31, 2022. Automatically renews for an additional five-year
term but only with Council authorization. Twenty-four month termination notice after first three
years have been completed, until the end of the term.
OPTIONS: Provide feedback on contract performance.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Provide feedback on contract performance.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2021 budget for law enforcement services is
$23,072,000.
STAFF CONTACT: Senior Administrative Analyst Morgan Koudelka; Police Chief Dave Ellis;
Assistant Police Chief Kevin Richey.

The Spokane Valley Police Department (SVPD) is included as an Addendum to the Business Plan because
their services are provided by contract with the Spokane County Sheriff's Office (SCSO). Spokane Valley
Police Chief Mark Werner reports to the City Manager and to the Spokane County Sheriff.
The SVPD information in the Business Plan is important to:
- Provide information as to the Police Department's structure and how that translates into services
to the City's citizens.
- Gain an understanding of the costs involved in providing these services.
In reviewing the Police Department Business Plan, it is important to note that the Interlocal Agreement
for Law Enforcement Services specifies the type and timing of budgetary changes that the City can make
to law enforcement.

Patrol Division
Our Patrol Division operates under a broad philosophy that embraces a whole -hearted determination to
protect and support individual rights, while at all times providing for the security of persons and property
within the community. This division is the backbone of an organization whose very existence is justified
solely on the basis of community service.
In general, Patrol's function is to respond to calls for assistance, act as a deterrent to crime, enforce state
and local laws, and respond to emergencies 24 hours per day, seven days per week. Specifically, this
division provides the following services within the limits of available resources:
Monitor, report and investigate suspicious persons and situations, safety hazards, and unusual or
illegal activity in the patrol area, to include vigilant observations of suspicious activity that may be
tied to domestic or international terrorism;
Use Intelligence -Led Policing (ILP) methods, working in concert with Investigations and the RIG 9
Intelligence Group, to implement an operational strategy to reduce crime through the combined
use of analysis and criminal intelligence, focusing on active and recidivist offenders. The goal with
ILP is to identify crime patterns, groups and linked crimes to anticipate the crime in an effort to
reduce criminal opportunities through directed patrolling;
- Maintain order, respond to emergencies, and conduct criminal investigations to identify, pursue
and arrest suspects and perpetrators of criminal acts; this also includes the collection of evidence,
written reports, issuance of citations or warnings and testifying in court, when applicable;
- Build relationships between Patrol, SCOPE members and neighborhood citizens to provide a safe
living environment for the community and increase citizen awareness and involvement in
community -oriented services; and
- Inspect public establishments to ensure compliance with state law and jurisdictional ordinances.
Impact of Staffing
Patrol deputies are the primary responders with respect to calls for service, and are the backbone of the
agency. It is imperative that response times be as short as possible, as increased response times only
causes more risk to both the public as well as officer safety. Staffing levels can have a severe impact on
response times and the ability to answer lower priority calls. Population growth has been slowly but
steadily increasing. Citizen -initiated calls for service have been increasing at a more rapid pace having
increased 20.8% since 2015.
76'Page
Best practice for law enforcement identifies Patrol deputies spending one-third of their time on proactive
policing, initiating service incidents, interacting with the public, and providing deterrent patrolling.
Spokane Valley Police have always had a high standard as nearly half of their calls were officer -initiated in
the first couple of years of the City's existence. As Spokane Valley deputies have faced a higher call load,
their ability to be proactive has steadily decreased. Additionally, because of the increased call load, the
number of lower priority calls without an officer response has increased.
The City of Spokane Valley is split into six Patrol districts. There are 4 Patrol platoons comprised of 10
deputies each, 2 day platoons and 2 night platoons, each working 12-hour shifts. Each night shift platoon
works when the other platoon is off and the same is true of day platoons. The deputies in each platoon
have staggered start times so that approximately half start an hour and a half later than the others. This
insures that there is no transition gap when the day shift is over and the night shift begins. In addition,
Power Shift covers the period of peak call load and the transition from day to night shift. Power Shift was
partially implemented in March 2015. Full implementation of Power Shift was finally attained March 1,
2018. It is staffed with 8 deputies working 12-hour shifts; minimum staffing provides at least 3 deputies
each day of the week.
Further, specialty units such as SWAT and EDU (Bomb Squad) are made up of deputies assigned to Patrol
as well as detectives assigned to the Investigative Unit. Many hours are invested in the training of these
individuals in specialty fields.
Current Staffing
Current vacancies within SVPD include one Traffic Unit sergeant, three SVIU detectives, two Traffic Unit
deputies, and one SVIU deputy.
SCSO has recognized that the pool of qualified law enforcement applicants has become very shallow and
that competition with other agencies for quality applicants is fierce. To meet hiring needs, SCSO has
implemented new strategies to attract and identify quality applicants. First, SCSO has entered into
contract with Public Safety Testing (PST) for the initial application process and the proctoring of the civil
service examination. The primary advantage of the relationship with PST is that applicants from other
areas of the country are able to take SCSO's exam without having to travel to Spokane.
Background investigations of potential candidates are time consuming and were previously a primary
bottleneck in the processing of applicants. To address this issue part time background investigators were
hired and the contract with PST was expanded to included background investigation services.
Additionally, SCSO has created a recruitment team consisting of an SVPD lieutenant, sergeant and
deputies. This team has established relationships with all of the regional colleges and universities that
have a criminal justice program including: SCC, EWU, WSU, MSU and NIC. This effort continues to expand.
The recruitment team has also partnered with the Washington National Guard to assist each other in
finding applicants and has connected with the Joint Base Lewis-McChord Career Placement Program for
soldiers and airmen leaving active duty.
These efforts produced a record number of 34 commissioned personnel hired in 2019 resulting in the first
significant gain in commissioned personnel in several years, despite the loss of 24 commissioned deputies
for the year.

Crime Prevention
Function
The Spokane Valley Crime Prevention Program is a proactive effort to educate the public and provide
material and training that will reduce opportunities for crime in our City. One deputy is assigned to the
Spokane Valley Police Department and provides, at no cost to the community:
Security surveys on request for commercial, residential and multi -family housing sites;
Training to the public on a wide variety of topics including: personal safety, internet safety, drug
awareness, fraud and identity theft, terrorism awareness, workplace violence prevention and
Crime Prevention Through Environmental Design (CPTED);
Information to citizens of community services and recommends options to facilitate long-term
problem resolution;
Support Neighborhood Watch; and,
Resource to City department heads.
Other Education Programs:
Child -Stranger Danger and Safety;
- Residential and Commercial Security;
Robbery Prevention and Procedures;
- Crime Free Multi -housing;
- Nuisance/Safe Streets;
- Firearms Safety;
- Disaster Preparedness/ Emergency Response;
Rural Crime Prevention;
Bicycle Safety/Safety on the Centennial Trail;
DUI Aggressive Driving;
Active Shooter Survival Training; and
Personal Safety Training.
Impact of Staffing
This is one of the most important pro -active, crime -fighting assets provided to the community by the
Spokane Valley Police Department. The performance of these functions requires a level of expertise that
could not easily be replaced. Other positions within the Spokane Valley Police Department do not have
the time to adequately address these issues.
Traffic Unit
Function
- Promote safe and efficient movement of vehicles and pedestrians through Education,
Enforcement and Engineering;
Monitor traffic flow to ensure public safety and enforce motor vehicle and criminal law through
the issuance of citations and/or warnings to those persons not adhering to the law;
Investigate motor vehicle crash scenes as well as provide expertise to other investigators,
including but not limited to mapping major crime scenes with the Faro laser scanner;
- Direct traffic flow, reroute traffic and evaluate in case of emergencies;
Assist local agencies in emergency situations by providing traffic control; and
Reduce serious injuries and fatalities by using increased traffic enforcement; statistics show that
increased citations in high -travel areas throughout the City reduce serious collisions/fatalities.
78IPage
Traffic Staffing Level
Sergeant - 1
Corporal/Detective - 1
Deputies - 5
Impact of Staffing
A tremendous amount of specialized training is invested in the officers assigned to the Traffic Division.
With that training, they are able to effectively investigate a variety of collisions to include fatal, pedestrian,
and motorcycle, often taking days and weeks to analyze the collision and complete a thorough
investigation. The loss of a trained collision detective would not easily be replaced by any other deputy or
investigator who would have none of the specialized training held by a traffic detective.
Washington State Traffic Commission grants pay for extra traffic enforcement in the City of Spokane Valley
for DUI and pedestrian safety.
Although grant funds pay for these emphasis patrols, a portion of the revenue generated comes back to
the City of Spokane Valley.
Most importantly, without deputies on the streets writing tickets for collision violations and putting an
emphasis on safety, our fatalities may increase.
Traffic School for drivers cited in the City of Spokane Valley began in 2012. The primary goal was to reduce
collisions through education and is an example of how law enforcement can work with the public toward
a safer community. Education and interaction with the citizens is one of the best ways for this to happen.
What seems to be commonly noted from people who have gone through Traffic School is they don't mind
spending their time and money when they get more out of the experience than paying a fine. This type of
program not only educates, it builds trust, changes perceptions and provides an invaluable service to the
community.
School Resource Deputies
School Resource Deputies (SRDs) are an invaluable resource to Spokane Valley school districts by providing
a uniformed presence within the schools, responding to crimes as well as non -criminal related situations
within the district, and providing assistance to include, but not limited to, criminal arrests, notice of
infractions, informational reports, assisting with trespass order service, student education and awareness,
and answering all other crime or non -crime related questions asked by district employees. SRDs often
attend district meetings at various schools and buildings to provide expert advice on security and safety,
give presentations to staff and students covering various subjects related to law enforcement, and act as
a liaison and a source of information for the Patrol Division or any other law enforcement agency and the
schools.
One of a school administrator's goals in handling situations at each school is to return to a normal
atmosphere as soon as possible to minimize the distraction to the educational environment. Because the
SRD is at the school, there is no waiting on a response from a deputy, and the issue can be dealt with
immediately.

Impact of Staffing
Early intervention benefits younger students who engage in activity that does not amount to criminal
activity. The SRDs are often called to speak with students at the middle and elementary schools for this
purpose, which is key to preventing potential criminal activity.
This creates a "feeling of security" in the school that comes from having a marked patrol car at the various
locations within the district, and a police presence with the contract -based school and alternative school
in the district.
SRDs provide input to the safety and security policies and practices that are discussed and developed at
monthly security meetings within the school districts. This helps keep school policies on safety and
security in line with law enforcement and helps aid with emergency response to situations affecting the
schools.
The SRDs are working with the schools to develop a school discipline policy and a set of standards for the
students to assist them with handling issues ranging from drug and gang intervention, criminal activity at
school and welfare checks at home. These efforts by the SRDs provide the tools for this unique group of
students to become successful adults and not fall prey to criminal activities. The proactive efforts of our
SRDs to deter such incidents as the "Columbine shooting" is a critical function for the safety of our
children, citizens and officers.

*Total number of hotel rooms booked (i.e. students attend a three-day class, counts as three hotel rooms
booked). Numbers were figured conservatively, assuming that the student leaves Spokane area the day of
the last class. However, some students may elect to stay another night and travel back the next day.
The Regional Training Center has spent the last decade establishing itself as a law enforcement training
establishment, building itself up to the level where students travel from around the world to attend
classes here. There was a total of 121 courses offered, most of which were three to five days in length.
Students attending were not only from local law enforcement, but also included students from all over
the United States. In addition to 207 Sheriff's Office students and 1,415 students from local law
enforcement agencies (Spokane PD, Liberty Lake PD and Airway Heights PD), training was provided to
1,046 out -of -county students.
Often times, if there are enough attendees paying for attendance at a scheduled training class, members
of the Sheriff's Office are provided the opportunity to attend at no cost. Investment in the Training Unit
80'Page
results in a win -win situation for the citizens and law enforcement of Spokane County and surrounding
areas.
In addition, the Sheriff's Office has realized significant savings by providing training locally for its officers
instead of sending them out of town. It is extremely likely that our officers would not have been afforded
the opportunity to attend the same amount of training due to the cost of travel, lodging and food, if the
training was not provided locally.
Training unit responsibilities also include pre -hire coordination and processing of Sheriff's Office
applicants. Since 2014, Sheriff's Office attrition of commissioned personnel has grown from an average
of about 8 per year to an average of nearly 23 per year. For every viable candidate identified, many dozens
must be processed. The increased demands placed on the Training Unit has necessitated recent changes
to the unit's allotted staffing.
• Training Unit Lieutenant — The Training Unit Lieutenant is responsible for overall supervision of
all unit operations and acts as the liaison with command staff and is the conduit through which
priorities are communicated to the training unit. This is a new position created by consolidating
the RIG 9 lieutenant's duties with those of the Downtown Precinct property/drug unit (ITF)
lieutenant. This position became necessary due to the increased demands placed on the unit.
• Training Unit Sergeant — This sergeant oversees internal Sheriff's Office training, authors training
bulletins, coordinates regional law enforcement training. This sergeant also coordinates pre -hire
candidate processing.
• TAC Sergeant — This sergeant acts as the tactical sergeant for the OTC Basic Law Enforcement
Academy. He oversees the progress of all SCSO academy attendees and acts as their liaison with
the department while in training. He is responsible for coordinating any remedial training
required of SCSO attendees.
• Firearm Instructor/Armorer — This deputy position is held by a state certified master firearms
instructor/armorer. He is responsible for overseeing all internal firearms training, curriculum
development, and weapon maintenance. Additionally, he provides firearms instruction for the
OTC Basic Law Enforcement Academy.
• Background Investigator — This position is held by a deputy responsible for background
investigations of potential officer candidates. He is the primary liaison with Spokane County Civil
Service. He also schedules oral boards, integrity interviews, medical exams, psychological exams,
and physical ability tests.
• Background Investigator (temp) — This position is currently filled by a detective (from a shared
investigative unit) temporarily on loan to Training to assist in reducing the backlog of background
investigations. Efforts are currently underway to shift some of the leg work required for
background investigations to a private contractor.
• Pool Positions — For the first time, 14 pool positions were funded in the 2019 Sheriff's Office
budget. The pool positions are used to hire officer candidates in advance of upcoming retirements
to allow them to complete training prior to a vacancy occurring so that the candidate may be
plugged into an open slot as soon as it occurs. Spokane Valley will pay for approximately half of
the pool positions.
Investigative Division
The Investigative Division serving the City of Spokane Valley consists of the dedicated Spokane Valley
Investigative Unit that has traditionally been responsible for investigating Spokane Valley property crimes.
Organizational changes approved by the City of Spokane Valley City Council in 2014 added additional
investigative personnel and the responsibility for investigating Spokane Valley drug crimes.
81 I P a g e
The Investigative Division also includes other units that are shared with the Spokane County Sheriff's
Office. The primary function of the Investigative Division is to provide investigative services and support
that cannot be wholly accomplished by the Patrol Division. The Investigative Division is comprised of the
following Units:
Major Crimes Unit - Shared
Responsible for investigating crimes against persons to include homicides, robberies, felony
assaults and officer -involved fatal or near -fatal incidents.
This unit is comprised of:
Inspector-1 (Supervises all Investigative Division units)
Lieutenant —1 (Supervises Major Crimes, Sex Crimes, and Forensics)
Sergeant - 1
Detectives - 6
Domestic Violence Detective (Dedicated Spokane Valley) - 1
Sexual Assault/Sex Offender Registration Unit - Shared
Responsible for investigating assaults that are sexual in nature, crimes against young children and
the registration of sex offenders as well as insuring the sex offender's compliance with registration
requirements.
This unit is comprised of:
Sergeant - 1
Detectives - 6
Five detectives are primarily responsible for investigations, one detective is primarily responsible
for registering sex offenders, and the responsibility for address verification of those registered is
shared between members in the unit by working overtime. The cost and services of the sergeant
and six detectives are shared between the City of Spokane Valley and the Spokane County Sheriff's
Office.
Partnerships in this unit are the Child Sexual Predator Task Force and the Internet Crimes Against
Children Task Force.
Spokane Valley Investigative Unit (SVIU) - Dedicated
- Responsible for property and drug investigations. SVIU, in collaboration with the Patrol Division
and the RIG 9 Intelligence Group, has been operating effectively under the Intelligence Led
Policing (ILP) philosophy. As the name implies, the ILP concept involves focusing investigative and
enforcement efforts on targets that are identified through statistical analysis and intelligence
gathering so that subsequent enforcement efforts are more fruitful with regard to a reduction in
crime. This allows us to use our investigative resources more effectively and efficiently.
- From 2010 forward, SVIU successfully implemented the ILP principles recognizing a substantial
increase in solvability over the years. Detectives have forwarded numerous cases to the
Prosecutor's Office where they have been able to connect a suspect to as many as 100 crimes, in
some cases, more, and often charge them with leading organized crime, trafficking in stolen
property, etc. The pawn database has also been an invaluable tool to detectives as they track
down items of stolen property being pawned and connect the suspects to the crime. In addition,
SVPD's use of Facebook has been a benefit as a way of communicating with the community to
identify the owners of recovered stolen property. SVIU also enjoys the assistance of two SCOPE
volunteers who have assumed many tasks that save our detectives countless hours, enabling
them to work more cases and solve more crimes.
- Partnered with ATF, Department of Corrections, Secret Service, U.S. Postal Inspection Service,
Social Security Administration, and U.S. Marshall Service working joint cases.

'Prior to the adoption of the New World CAD system (Oct. '16) this metric was computed by dividing the total deputy
involved incidents by the number of patrol shifts worked. This did not account for the fact that many CFS required
multiple deputy response. Beginning in 2017 an accurate number of incidents per deputy per shift is available.
'The trend line for deputy -initiated incidents for the first nine months of 2016 indicated that the year would end with
a total in excess of 20,000; however, the learning curve required by the transition to the New World CAD and field
reporting systems along with new NIBRS reporting requirements (beginning October 3, 2016) put a large drain on the
time patrol personnel had for self -initiated activity.
'The addition of Power Shift made the old metric obsolete. Patrol staffing levels will now be represented as total
patrol hours worked by personnel assigned exclusively to patrol (excluding supervisors, traffic unit, SRDs, etc.).
4lncludes: burglary, forgery, theft, vehicle theft, vehicle prowling, malicious mischief.
5 Includes: homicide, assault, kidnap, robbery, rape, child abuse, stalking.
6 This figure includes the number of incidents resolved by custodial arrest; it does not include the total number of
charges.
7 For 2019, 30.4% of all traffic stops result in some form of enforcement action.

'One UOF incident is still pending review.
2The current CAD system does not facilitate extracting an accurate number for all priority 1 CFS. Spot check of about
50% of all priority 1 CFS indicates that response time is less than the time listed.
'The large reduction in the percentage of solved cases is primarily due to a change in SVIU's handling of incidents
(mostly retail theft) where there is video evidence. Previously, most of these cases were not assigned due to poor
video quality. Now, volunteers view all videos and forward those with potential identifying detail to a detective who
posts still images from the videos to regional law enforcement crime information systems and occasionally to the
media. This requires minimal effort on the part of SVIU detectives, but results in solving over 25% of these crimes.
Since these are incidents that were previously unworked, overall service to the community has been improved at
the expense of SVIU's solvability rate.

Theoretical Budget Reduction Exercise — Submitted by Chief Mark Werner
In the event of actual reductions, City of Spokane Valley staff will work to identify cost -saving measures
with the least amount of impact to delivery of police services.
Spokane Valley Police Department/Spokane County Sheriff's Office
Impact of Potential Budget Decrease
"The ultimate priority for the Spokane Valley Police Department is Public Safety."
At the request of the City of Spokane Valley, SVPD has again been asked to evaluate the impact of 3%, 6%
and 9% budget cuts for Fiscal Year 2019.
It is important when considering budget reductions (i.e. personnel reductions) to keep in mind that the
demand for law enforcement services by the citizens of Spokane Valley has greatly outpaced Spokane
Valley's population growth which has averaged a little over 1% per annum since incorporation. In contrast,
citizen -initiated calls for police service (CFS) have increased at a much greater rate. Since 2008, CFS has
increased nearly 46.2%.
Law enforcement services are required 24 hours a day, 365 days a year and are manpower intensive. Few
opportunities exist to realize significant law enforcement cost savings that do not involve a reduction in
personnel. Therefore, budget reduction directly translates into a reduction in personnel. The reduction in
personnel then equates to a reduction in law enforcement services to the citizens of Spokane Valley.
Impact of 3% Budget Cut:
A 3% cut equates to the loss of four deputies. This reduction would leave SVPD assigned staffing at a level
lower than at any point in City history. These deputies could be removed from any one of a number of
functional units, each with its own negative outcome. Numerous competing factors were considered
when determining where to cut personnel.
- To meet a 3% budget reduction, three deputy positions would be removed from Power Shift and
one investigative position would be removed from the Spokane Valley Investigative Unit. The
primary impacts of these reductions are significant:
o Removing three positions from Power Shift eliminates Power Shift coverage Sunday
through Tuesday and reduces Power Shift coverage on Saturday. Power Shift has been
shown to reduce response times by over 65% during the period of peak call load (3:00
p.m. to 7:30 a.m.).
o Reducing Power Shift will result in an increase in day shift overtime.
o Reducing Power Shift will have a negative impact on morale primarily because dayshift
deputies will be forced to work a significant amount of unpredictable "late call" overtime
and because additional workload will be shifted to the remaining deputies.
- A fourth deputy position will be removed from the Spokane Valley Investigative Unit.
This position represents nearly 10% of the total property crime and drug crime investigative
capacity of SVPD's dedicated investigative unit.
Elimination of this position will negatively impact morale. The investigative deputy position is one
of very few positions available to deputies to move laterally within the department.
91 1 Page
Impact of 6% Budget Cut:
Absorbing a 6% budget reduction would require the elimination of eight commissioned positions. This
would be accomplished by eliminating the investigative deputy position and completely eliminating Power
Shift. This would result in the elimination of six patrol deputy positions and the Power Shift sergeant
position. The remaining Power Shift deputy position would be assigned to a platoon to equalize platoon
staffing at 10 deputies per platoon. In addition to the negative impacts listed above, this reduction would
deliver another blow to morale by forcing a demotion of a sergeant and eliminating a promotional
position.
Impact of 9% Budget Cut:
A 9% budget reduction eliminates 11 positions leaving SVPD with a commissioned strength of only 93
personnel resulting in an officer per thousand rate of one. To meet a 9% reduction would require the
elimination of the following positions:
• 6 Power Shift deputies
• 1 Power Shift sergeant
• 1 Investigative deputy
• 2 Traffic Unit deputies
• 1 SVIU detective
It is difficult to overstate the magnitude of the detrimental impact to law enforcement services in the City
of Spokane Valley that these reductions would cause; however, the following list summarizes what would
be expected.
Reactive Policing — Personnel reductions increase the individual workload placed on SVPD
personnel. SVPD patrol deputies currently have a high call per officer ratio. The high demand for
police services leaves little time for proactive police work and reducing commissioned personnel
exacerbates this problem. Policing within the City of Spokane Valley would be predominantly
reactive, documenting crime rather than taking a proactive approach to reduce it.
Officer/Citizen Safety — A consequence of an impractical call per officer ratio is a reduction in
officer and citizen safety. A number of factors contribute to this. First, excessive response times
to violent in -progress calls for service or to urgent back-up requirements increases the potential
for tragic results. Second, a high call per officer ratio pressures deputies to respond to calls for
service alone which again increases the potential for a tragic outcome. Finally, the excessive call
per officer ratio creates an environment where deputies are forced to rush from call to call.
A 40% reduction in traffic unit deputies will decrease overall traffic enforcement in the City of
Spokane Valley by an estimated 17% resulting in increased collision rates.
- Quality of Service — A further consequence of an impractical call per officer ratio is a reduction
in the quality of service. Deputies simply will not be given sufficient time to resolve problems or
to completely investigate and document criminal activity. In addition, investigative capacity will
be reduced by nearly 30% decreasing investigative follow-up on reported crimes and reducing the
ability to identify and address chronic offenders.
- Recruitment and Retention — Spokane County Sheriff's Office is currently struggling with
recruitment and retention of quality personnel. A quality working environment is a powerful
recruiting and retention tool. Personnel reductions would eliminate this tool and make it more

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: April 13, 2021 Department Director Approval:
Check all that apply: ❑ consent
❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ® admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report — update on parking restrictions
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.11.020; chapter 9.05 SVMC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: February 16, 2021: administrative report; March 16, 2021
administrative report.
BACKGROUND: There was discussion at the February 16, 2021 Council meeting, followed by additional
discussion at the March 16, 2021 Council meeting concerning parking -related issues.
A central point of the discussion was whether this is strictly a Traffic Engineering decision, or instead
whether Council has policy authority. Staff has researched the issue and it turns out that both have an
important role to play. Initially, the Traffic Engineer will collect data relative to the analysis, such as traffic
counts, access density, density of surrounding housing, types of land uses in the area (such as schools,
medical facilities, etc.), and then make an assessment to determine whether a no -parking zone should be
added or removed.
Once the Traffic Engineer has weighed in, Council can either accept that or not in determining whether to
impose or remove a no -parking zone. It is important to note that these types of decisions are somewhat
different than the decision to change a speed limit, in which the opinion and recommendation of the
professional traffic engineer is critical in determining whether the changed speed will create a traffic safety
hazard, and thus whether it is in the health, safety, and welfare interest of the public to make the change.
The Council adopted criteria in 2009 relative to changing speed limits. The City does not currently have
any similar Code provisions containing appropriate criteria for no -parking zones. In the next couple of
months, staff will draft a proposed Code provision for Council discussion and later consideration that
contains criteria for no -parking zones. And, similar to the speed limit provisions in SVMC 9,05.030, staff
will create a Master No -Parking resolution in which all areas in the City where parking restrictions apply
will be listed. This would then be adopted by Council, and updated whenever appropriate.
The City does not currently have a comprehensive list of all areas deemed as no -parking areas. As such,
we will need to collect that data. The City had determined that the data is available as a result of the most
recent street scan, but the consultant would need to have one or more people review all of that scanned data
to determine the exact location of each sign. There is a cost to perform that work, as it has to be done by
hand essentially. The cost for this will likely be included in a subsequent budget amendment later this year,
but we would look to get the work done soon so this can move forward.
In summary, staff believes we have a good roadmap of where and how we can get this accomplished so
Council and the public have a better understanding of how the regulations work with regard to parking
restrictions. Staff believes we can bring something back to Council for the next update in two or three
months if there is consensus to do so.
OPTIONS: Discussion
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Consensus for staff to continue working to implement the
plan identified above.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The cost for a full inventory of the signs is estimated at $52,000, and
the funds are currently provided for in the 2021 Street Fund 101 budget.
STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney; Bill Helbig, City Engineer.
