ACTION ITEMS:
1. Motion Consideration: Bid Award,Balfour Park Frontage Improvements—Bill Helbig
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Peetz and seconded to award the Balfour Park Frontage Improvement CIP
#0314 construction contract to Selland Construction in the amount of$617,770 and authorize the City
Manager to finalize and execute the construction contract. City Engineer Helbig briefly explained the
project,the bid opening,and ultimate recommended award to the lowest,responsive and responsible bidder
of the five bidders, that of Selland Construction, Inc. He also went over the project cots/budget financial
impacts, all as noted on the Request for Council Action form (RCA).Mayor Wick asked if there were any
public comments and City Clerk Bainbridge noted we received a comment request from Ms.Barb Howard.
Ms. Barb Howard, Spokane Valley: said that according to law, we must take the lowest bid, and asked if
this is going to end up like CenterPlace where we spend funds on a roof again because of cheap items on
the bid, and she sked if anything can be done to stop this on the low bids; she also asked who will keep an
eye on the project to make sure it is done right; said she was not in favor of the library and voted against it.
There were no other public comments. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous. Opposed: none. Motion
carried.
NON-ACTION ITEMS:
2. Spokane Valley Partners—Jason Clark, Cal Coblentz
Mr. Coblentz explained that they were not prepared for 2020,but think they can learn from it, and one of
the things learned is there is a need to continue to prepare for this decade of ripple effects; said 2nd Harvest
is the biggest food supplier in our region; said he feels there is no competition from other food suppliers as
there is enough need to go around;projecting forward,said he has seen an 821%increase in new households
served from first quarter last year to first quarter this year; that he feels it is possible they may be moving
three to four million pounds of food in the future, hence they do not want to be caught off-guard; he also
mentioned the importance of the mobile units to take food to those who couldn't come to the food banks;
said their first priority are the residents in Spokane Valley, and the second priority includes the outlying
Council Meeting Minutes, Study Session: 04-20-2021 Page 1 of 3
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
areas in Spokane County such as Rockford and Otis Orchards and others. Mr. Coblentz also mentioned
their partnering with the schools.
Mr. Clark went through his PowerPoint addressing the topic of food insecurity one year post Covid,
including their mission during the crisis; same priorities of supporting their partners and the use of the
mobile markets, distribution with partners, and ad hoc community point of distribution including
coordination of volunteers and the National Guard support for rapid push distribution; he mentioned the
spike in unemployment in 2020 which led to increased need,noting that recovery takes time; he said that
the mobile markets were also increased from 141 during 2019, to 463 during 2020; that in 2020 they and
their partners distributed more than 52.9 million pounds of food which equates to a 58%increase over 2019
of 33.6 million pounds; said that the increased need continues; and he again noted the National Guard's
help during the pandemic, as their deployment at Second Harvest was between 40 and 150 during the
Guard's eleven-month food security mission. Mr. Clark said that in terms of planning for future growth,
they will need more refrigeration and/or a bigger and better facility. Council extended their appreciation for
all the Valley Partners and Food Bank have done.
3. Public Safety Contracts Update -Morgan Koudelka
Mr.Koudelka provided a summary update on detention services,district court,public defender,prosecutor,
pre-trial,emergency management,and animal control showing the five-year trends for City cost,percentage
change, and City usage, as well as history, challenges, and cost control measures; he also noted the
probation services agreement of 2005 allows the County to retain all probation fees in return for providing
the service. There was brief discussion about animal control and SCRAPS with Deputy Mayor Peetz stating
that she hears that some people feel frustrated because if they complain or make comments, it seems as
though nothing happens. Mr. Koudelka said he has experienced that as well, adding that during the Covid
restrictions, SCRAPS was experiencing staffing challenges; said he is uncertain if the issues are just due to
Covid restrictions or if other factors are involved.
Mr.Koudelka also discussed the draft public safety contracts quarterly template and mentioned trends such
as costs going up based on our usage; said for the courts,this is not necessarily a result of more cases but a
reduction of cases in other areas; said some of the reasons are related to the suspension of drug cases which
drives our percentage up;said the state is looking at options for making some felonies misdemeanors which
would drive our parentage up even higher. Deputy Mayor Peetz asked that with people being arrested and
crime going up,but the criminals being let go,why are costs so expensive.Mr.Koudelka said for 2020 and
Covid,budgets were not reduced and people were not laid off or services reduced; said he does not know
when things will change but that doesn't mean we won't pursue charges;said many times cases are deferred
or there is a backlog which affects potential charges in the future;that we hear about the `revolving door of
arrest and release' with some re-offending, and said that does not mean they are not being prosecuted,but
this is something we need to evaluate. Mayor Wick asked which trend should we focus on; that with the
diversion driving while license suspended being terminated,are other jurisdictions' cases going down; said
the estimated usage and projected costs figures appear to be contradictory.Mr.Koudelka said costs are low
for prosecution services,but they would probably like more staffing to provide more services. In response
to Deputy Mayor Peetz' comment about jail alternatives, Mr. Koudelka said that issue was looked into a
few years go,but that each category has its own alternatives and it can seem disjointed; and said he will try
to get more information on the topic of alternatives to jail.
4. Advance Agenda—Mayor Wick
It was suggested asking Mr. Phil Altmeyer, Executive Director of the Union Gospel Mission to give a
presentation regarding his view and programs regarding homelessness. There were no objections from
Council. It was also suggested to hear from the Boys and Girls Club, and again there were no objections.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
3. Spokane Regional Law&Justice Committee Update—Cary Driskell, Sheriff Knezovich
City Attorney Driskell explained that when this topic came before Council a few weeks ago,staff was asked
to get more background and history.Mr.Driskell went over the history of the SRLJC as noted in his Request
for Council Action form; said that the SRLJC as it is now was started in 2014 at the recommendation of the
Spokane County Criminal Justice Council (CJC),which was a three-person group of system professionals
tasked with assessing the regional criminal justice system in order to make recommendations for improving
Council Meeting Minutes,Formal: 04-27-2021 Page 2 of 5
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
the system,and that those initial recommendations are contained in the CJC's Blueprint for Reform,which
he said is part of tonight's agenda packet as additional background information. Mr. Driskell mentioned
that the original intent was to determine if there could be greater functionality in the SRLJC, and to also
perhaps reduce the number of participants as the large number of participants was likely hurting the
Committee's functionality as it appeared the committee was becoming a committee of more talk and less
action. Mr. Driskell noted a law and justice council is required by state law, has set responsibilities and
tasks, and its minimum mandatory membership is thirteen.
Sheriff Knezovich said that this issue goes back to about 2005 when the jail expansion committee was
formed as they started looking at the jail and criminal justice system together; said a plan had been crafted
to move forward but has been on the shelf since 2011; said it was around 2011 when a judge approached
him and said we need to get the SRLJC reformed,so he and others started those discussions.He also noted
that a critical part of the blueprint was that it came without funding, so hence it was an unfunded mandate;
said he was in favor of bringing in citizens but wanted part of that representation to be victims of crime,
which he said has not happened; he mentioned approximately five years were spent debating the bylaws;
that there is a very dangerous criminal justice dilemma within our community which cost two people in
Spokane Valley their lives as the system keeps releasing high offenders into the community; said this has
never been about a new jail but was a new way of thinking about criminal justice.He also stated that he is
all for reforming the council and of the need to form a new group; said he doesn't want to silence the voices
of the community members, but also doesn't want to allow members to stonewall; again said this is not
about a new or bigger jail but about saving lives, and that now we are doing nothing but creating more
victims and holding no one accountable for their crimes, and said that needs to end.
Deputy Mayor Peetz mentioned the gang problem and that it is getting out of control as are property crimes.
Sheriff Knezovich said the group to address some of those issues is not this group; said that is a function of
what is broken in the system; that the gangs are now juveniles which means there is a multi-generational
gang problem in our community. City Attorney Driskell explained that the value of a second committee is
a forum to discuss these issues,and there was brief discussion about the number of committee members so
as not to have an unwieldy committee. Mr. Driskell stated we also don't want too small of a committee as
that would be counter-productive; said he wants to keep an open mind and have an administration set the
agenda on what to focus on and bring forward as recommendations; said he thinks that would be a good
discussion for the various jurisdictions; said if Council agrees with the council as proposed by Mr.Haskell
to move forward, but if we don't have a second committee in place we will lose confidence, and said he
feels we should do both together; and reminded everyone that the SRLJC is a recommending body as it is
ultimately up to the Board of County Commissioners.
Councilmember Thompson mentioned the committee working on bylaws for so long; said if we are trying
to empower stakeholder groups,sometimes it gets to the point where people are trying not to offend anyone;
however, she added,no one gets everything they want, and if people are afraid to step on any toes, that is
when things stall; but it also has to be respectful and inclusive. Mr. Driskell said the original bylaws were
adopted mid-2014 with ongoing discussions until near the end of 2016, and said he believes those were
eventually adopted in 2018 and have been in use since.Mr.Driskell suggested the questions to consider are
what does it (the committee/s)need to do and how to get there. Mayor Wick suggested discussing how to
move forward and said he would welcome regional collaboration to discuss the issues. Mr. Driskell asked
if there is Council consensus to request consideration or discussion about a second committee, or does
Council prefer to send a letter to the Board of County Commissioners. Mayor Wick again voiced his
suggestion to have regional collaboration to discuss the efficiencies, and said he is not sure a second
committee is needed now. Deputy Mayor Peetz said she would request to be on both committees as we
need to get involved in the conversation. Councilmember Thompson said she wants to know the power of
the committees, and that she likes the idea of coming together to determine how to make this work.
Councilmember Haley suggested setting up a finance committee to discuss funding mechanisms, which
Council Meeting Minutes,Formal: 04-27-2021 Page 3 of 5

DRAFT
promoted further discussion from Sheriff Knezovich about the remaining 2/3rds of the 2/10th of 1%that has
not been touched in this community which includes a potential $22 million. Mayor Wick asked Council if
they would like Mr. Driskell to draft a letter expressing a desire to be part of the regional solution, and the
majority of Councilmembers nodded in agreement. Mr. Driskell said he will draft a letter and make a
general statement about participating in discussions regarding the criminal justice system; said he believes
both he and Sheriff Knezovich as well as many others feel a change is needed and that staying with the
status quo is not a good option at this point. Council said they would like to see the draft letter prior to its
being sent, and Mr. Driskell said he can bring that back for Council to review by next week's meeting,
although not part of the agenda. Councilmembers concurred.
4. Title 24 Code Text Amendment(CTA 2020-0004)—Jenny Nickerson
Building Official Nickerson went through her PowerPoint explaining about this City-initiated code text
amendment to modify chapters 24.40 and 24.50 to update relevant code references and add clarifying
language for consistency throughout our municipal code and other adopted codes. She also noted that the
Planning Commission voted five to two to recommend approval,with the two dissenting voters explaining
that they would like to get additional information from the SHBA (Spokane Homebuilders Association)
members before making a recommendation. Ms. Nickerson added that in follow-up, there were no
additional comments from the SHBA.There was Council consensus that staff proceed to an ordinance first
reading at a future Council meeting.
5. Energy Code Update—Jenny Nickerson
After Building Official Nickerson went through her PowerPoint giving the purpose,background,impacts,
and challenges with the updates,there was Council consensus that staff proceed to an ordinance first reading
at a future Council meeting.
6. Law Enforcement Contract Amendment—Morgan Koudelka,Police Chief Ellis
Mr. Koudelka stated that in the four years since the City and County entered into the current interlocal
agreement, the law enforcement operation has evolved in several areas, such as a new Tactical Unit, and
other revisions needed to reflect services which have been consolidated into the Spokane Regional
Emergency Communications umbrella, such as updating name changes to service units, and reflecting
changes to shared personnel. Council concurred to bring this forward for a motion consideration at a future
Council meeting.
7. Sullivan Park Waterline Project—Bill Helbig
City Engineer Helbig went over the background of this project and of the need for a performing well as the
current well is very shallow,requires monthly water quality monitoring,and does not produce the required
flows to sustain current and future park facilities.He talked about discussions in 2016 between the City and
Trentwood Irrigation District and Kemira Water Solutions. Mr. Helbig also went over the City financial
obligation in this project,noting that a future budget amendment would transfer$152,858 to Fund 309 the
Parks Capital Projects Fund.He also noted the Washington State Legislature appropriated$130,000 toward
the project, which he explained is managed by the Department of Commerce. Mr. Helbig mentioned that
the anticipated funding shortfall will need to be provided by the City at the time of project construction,
anticipated in 2022, and the most promising funding source is the American Rescue Plan as the Plan
specifically names water system infrastructure as an acceptable cost. Council concurred to move forward
as noted.
8. Advance Agenda—Mayor Wick
There were no suggested changes to the Advance Agenda.
9. Department Reports—Information Only

VIII. COMMISSION BUSINESS:
a. Public Hearing: Shoreline Master Program— Legislative Update.
The public hearing was opened at 6:13 p.m. Senior Planner Chaz Bates introduced Alex
Capron with The Watershed Company, who was hired by the City to assist with the periodic
update of the Shoreline Master Program (SMP). Mr. Bates explained that Washington state
law requires that the SMP be reviewed and updated every eight years so that it remains
consistent with local and state laws. The original SMP was adopted comprehensively in
1
03-11-2021 Planning Commission Minutes Page 2 of 3
2015 through an in-depth process. Due to that process, the current update includes just the
items that are required by state law. The changes will have very little impact on development
within the shoreline jurisdiction.
Mr. Bates also mentioned that the section regarding gravel pits is not be being amended.
Gravel pits are not regulated by the SMP. However, once those areas go through the
reclamation process, they will become a part of the SMP. None of the City's gravel pits are
currently in the reclamation process.
Mr. Capron gave a presentation explaining the proposed changes to the SMP. He explained
that an SMP is a set of policies and regulations required by state law to protect the
environmental resources of state shorelines, promote public access and enjoyment
opportunities, and give priority to uses that require a shoreline location. The SMP applies to
"Shorelines of the State", which are waterbodies that meet certain criteria and size. In
Spokane Valley, this includes the Spokane River, Shelley Lake, and associated wetlands.
Mr. Capron explained that the state Department of Ecology requires all SMP's to be
reviewed every eight years. This periodic review is intended to keep SMP's current with
amendments to state law, changes in local plans and regulations, and new or improved data
and information. The updated SMP must be adopted by June 30, 2021.
Mr. Capron stated that during the review process they looked at the 27 legislative
amendments, critical areas regulations, and the Comprehensive Plan and Municipal Code.
The proposed state legislative amendments include updating definitions, exemptions, and
exceptions to be consistent with those in state law. The proposed amendments to the SMP
critical areas will incorporate required City-wide critical areas ordinance updates. These will
update wetland buffers within shoreline jurisdiction. It will also provide updates to the Fish
and Wildlife Habitat Conservation areas by adding standards for habitat management plan
requirements and will include riparian management zone buffers. Previously, the SMP did
not have regulations set up for streams that weren't shoreline. This amendment will establish
those stream regulations. The City received public comment from the Department of Fish
and Wildlife stating that they have published an updated Priority Habitats & Species
document regarding riparian ecosystem. They request that the City work with them during
any future updates to possibly include their recommendations.
Mr. Capron explained that there is an additional "suggested" SMP amendment that the City
has decided to add to their regulations that ensures the Accessory Dwelling Units (ADU) are
permitted like single-family residences. This means that any ADU requests will have to
apply for a shoreline exemption,just like a regular single-family home.
Mr. Bates outlined the adoption timeline. The Planning Commission will make a
recommendation on this matter at the March 25, 2021 meeting (after the public comment
period which closes on March 12, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.). After the recommendation, the
proposed amendment will be submitted to Ecology for initial determination. The initial
determination response from Ecology should be received in April 2021. The Planning
Commission will conduct the adoption of findings in May 2021. The City Council first and
second reading will occur in June 2021 and local adoption of the SMP will occur in by June
30, 2021.
Commissioner Haneke asked why ADU's are exempt from getting a permit. Mr. Bates
answered that ADU's still have to meet all of the requirements and regulations of the SMP.
The proposed amendment will just streamline the process.

Commissioner Haneke asked when the Planning Commission will receive the Ecology
Report for review. He asked if it would be possible for the Commission to receive the report
earlier than a week before the meeting to give additional time to review the documents.
Deputy Attorney Lamb answered that staff will try to get those out as soon as possible but
does want to make sure that staff has a chance to review and make their comments before
sending it out.
No requests to give public comment was received so the public hearing was closed at 6:54
p.m. However, written public comments can be received through March 12, 2021 at 5:00
p.m.
b. Study Session: CTA-2020-0004: Title 24 Update
Building Official Jenny Nickerson gave a presentation regarding the proposed update to Title
24 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC). The reason for the request is Title 24
adopts the Washington State Building Codes and the 2018 editions of all building codes
replaced the 2015 editions as of February 1, 2021 in the state of Washington. The
amendment will align the language of Title 24 SVMC with the state adoption of the codes.
She explained that the proposed changes are predominantly housekeeping. The public
hearing for this matter will be held on March 25, 2021.
IX. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was nothing for the good of the order.
X. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Granrath moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:13 p.m.

a. Deliberations: Shoreline Master Program —Legislative Update.
Senior Planner Chaz Bates requested that the Planning Commission make a motion to
recommend approval to the City Council of the Shoreline Master Program. He explained
that the Department of Ecology did not start their public comment period as planned so
the City is going to move forward with their standard approval process. It will be
submitted to the Department of Ecology after adoption and they will run their own
comment period. The City received two written public comments on this matter. One
was received from the Department of Fish and Wildlife and one from a private resident.
Mr. Bates stated that the purpose of the proposed amendment is to maintain consistency
with state and local policies.

Commissioner Rieckers asked if the comments received from the private resident have
been addressed. Mr. Bates answered that it is not typical to make a formal response to
received comments. They are just included in the documentation for consideration by the
Planning Commission when making their decision.
Commissioner Haneke asked if there would be a way to exclude Accessory Dwelling
Units (ADU) from the shoreline in the future. Deputy City Attorney Erik Lamb
answered that a code text amendment could be done to exclude ADU's but it would have
to go through the formal process. Commissioner Haneke stated that he is not in favor of
ADU's along the shoreline and is concerned about making the process easier.
Commissioner Robinson moved to recommend that the City Council approve the 2021
Shoreline Master Program update. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was
seven in favor, zero against and the motion passed.
b. Public Hearing: CTA-2020-0004: Title 24 Update
The public hearing was opened at 6:22 pm. Building Official Jenny Nickerson gave a
presentation regarding the proposed update to Title 24 of the Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC). The reason for the request is Title 24 adopts the Washington State
Building Codes and the 2018 editions of all building codes replaced the 2015 editions as
of February 1, 2021 in the state of Washington. The amendment will align the language
of Title 24 SVMC with the state adoption of the codes. She explained that the proposed
changes are predominantly housekeeping. The current SVMC has some outdated
Washington Administrative Code (WAC) references that need to be corrected and the
language regarding land disturbance needs to be aligned to provide permit processing
consistency. These changes include new language that outlines that a land disturbance
permit may be required when more than 50 cubic yards of fill is removed or four feet of
unsupported excavation occurs.
Joel White, Executive Officer with the Spokane Home Builders Association (SHBA)
stated that the adoption of the 2018 building codes has added a projected $20,000 to the
cost to build a typical single-family home and there is a big concern of the SHBA
regarding all of the new changes based on this adoption. He explained that he is working
with other members to find out how much these proposed changes will affect builders in
the area.
The public hearing was closed at 6:50 p.m.
Commissioner Haneke stated that he would like to know from Mr. White if the SHBA is
still reviewing the repercussions of this adoption.
The public hearing was reopened at 6:52 p.m. to receive additional comment from Mr.
White.
Mr. White responded that there are a few members of the SHBA looking into this matter.
He doesn't feel that these changes are a huge issue but the SHBA is definitely concerned
about the additional single-family home costs and these additional land disturbance
permits could add even more cost.
Commissioner Beaulac and Commissioner Haneke stated they would like to continue the
public hearing to the next meeting to get additional information from the SHBA members
2

before making a recommendation. The remaining members expressed that they are ready
to move forward with a recommendation
The public hearing was closed again at 7:07 p.m.
Commissioner Miller moved to recommend approval of CTA-2020-0004 to the City
Council. Commissioner Granrath stated that there are some major housing issues that
need to be addressed but this matter is mostly housekeeping and can be sent to City
Council with a recommendation to approve. Commissioner McKinley stated that he is
aware of unintended costs attributed to these types of changes but he agrees that it is a
housekeeping item that does need to be passed along. The vote on the motion was five in
favor, two against, with Commissioner Haneke and Commissioner Beaulac dissenting
and the motion passed.
A brief recess was called at 7:20 p.m. The meeting was called back to order at 7:32.
c. Study Session: Housing Action Plan
Chaz Bates gave a presentation on the Housing Action Plan(HAP). He explained that
Washington legislation passed a bill (E2SHB 1923) in 2019 encouraging increased
residential capacity through adoption of regulatory mechanisms or adoption of a HAP.
The City decided to develop a HAP and was given a $100,000 grant from the Department
of Commerce to hire the consulting firms to develop it. The HAP identifies strategies
and implementing actions to promote housing for all income levels by providing housing
diversity, housing affordability, and increased access to opportunity for housing. The
plan is developed by the gathering of data and public input. However, the strategies and
action are adopted at a later time. The HAP has four basic elements which includes a
housing needs assessment, a housing policy review, proposed strategies and actions, and
a proposed implementation plan.
Mr. Bates explained that the housing needs assessment provides information on existing
housing inventory, the projected housing needs, population trends, and employment
trends. The assessment shows that the City is lacking diversity in housing stock and will
need at least 6,660 new housing units by the year 2037 to handle new growth. However,
45% of these homes will be occupied by residents who make less than the Area Medium
Income (AMI). This means that there is a growing need for affordable housing and the
HAP is geared towards making sure that there are options for all residents.
Mr. Bates stated that the housing policy review looks to see if the proposed strategies
align with identified needs, align with community vision and engagement, identifies
regulatory barriers, and evaluates available programs. The policy review identified that
there is a need for housing for incomes below the AMI and housing that offer more
affordable ownership options.
Mr. Bates said that the housing strategies and actions outlined in the plan are based on
five criteria. This includes zoning and other regulatory strategies, process improvements,
affordable housing incentives, funding for affordable housing, and mitigating
displacement. The three strategic goals outlined are to preserve affordable housing and
mitigate displacement, increase both market-rate and affordable housing supply by
creating focus zones that allow multifamily and missing-middle housing, and increase
housing options and housing choice. Missing-middle housing includes duplexes, cottages
3
03-25-2021 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4
and townhomes because they provide a spectrum of affordability options. The
implementation plan identifies steps to achieve strategies and a monitoring program.
Commissioner Beaulac asked how the HAP will remain relevant and up-to-date as things
change over time. Economic Development Manager Mike Basinger answered that staff
has policies and goals outlined in the Comprehensive Plan and one of the goals could be
that the HAP is reviewed annually to make sure that it remains consistent with trends.
Also, the long-term strategies included in the HAP will be used to create code text
amendments in the future to implement areas of the plan.
This item will return to the Planning Commission for public hearing on April 8, 2021.

CTA-2020-0004 as presented. There was no discussion. The vote on the motion was

b. Public Hearing: Housing Action Plan
The public hearing was opened at 6:21 pm.
Senior Planner Chaz Bates gave a presentation on the Housing Action Plan (HAP). He
explained that Washington legislation passed a bill (E2SHB 1923) in 2019 encouraging
increased residential capacity through adoption of regulatory mechanisms or adoption of
a HAP. The City decided to develop a HAP and was awarded a $100,000 grant from the
Department of Commerce to hire the consulting firm to assist in developing it. The HAP
identifies strategies and implementing actions to promote housing for all income levels
by providing housing diversity, housing affordability, and increased access to opportunity
for housing. The plan was developed by the gathering of data and public input.
However, the strategies and action are adopted at a later time. The HAP has four basic
elements which includes a housing needs assessment, a housing policy review,proposed
strategies and actions, and a proposed implementation plan.
Mr. Bates explained that the housing needs assessment provides information on existing

affordable housing incentives, funding for affordable housing, and mitigating
displacement. The three strategic goals outlined are to preserve affordable housing and
mitigate displacement, increase both market-rate and affordable housing supply by
creating focus zones that allow multifamily and missing-middle housing, and increase
housing options and housing choice. Missing-middle housing includes duplexes, cottages
and townhomes because they provide a spectrum of affordability options. The goal in the
HAP to preserve affordable housing and mitigate displacement includes monitoring
regulated properties, retaining affordable market rate units, using caution when proposing
land use changes in areas at risk for displacement,providing tenant support, and
providing homeowner assistance. The HAP proposes to increase market-rate and
2
04-08-2021 Planning Commission Minutes Page 3 of 4
affordable housing supplies in zones that allow multifamily and missing-middle housing
by modifying the Spokane Valley Municipal Code to encourage production of
townhomes and cottages, adopt a multifamily tax exemption program, create incentives
to produce additional affordable housing, and adopt a planned action ordinance that
allows large, mixed use phased developments to occur. In order to increase housing
options and housing choices, the HAP proposes updating regulations for Accessory
Dwelling Units (ADU), allowing for tiny homes,planning for homeless shelters and
transitional housing, and developing a housing fund program. The implementation plan
identifies steps to achieve strategies and a monitoring program.
Commissioner Miller asked how tiny homes will fit into the character of Spokane Valley
and how the approval process will work. Mr. Bates answered that tiny homes are not
currently allowed in the City limits so a code-text amendment would have to go through
the public process of approval. Commissioner Miller also asked who monitors the Cities
rent restricted properties. Mr. Bates answered that the City does not have anyone who
monitors these properties so this proposal is to create a program or adopt an existing
program.
Commissioner Beaulac asked if the HAP is consistent with the other Cities in the area.
He feels that they should be similar throughout the County. Mr. Bates answered that he
has been in constant contact with the City of Spokane and the consulting agency that
produced the HAP also created the one for the City of Spokane. Commission Beaulac
also asked about the tax exemption program. Mr. Bates answered that the exemption
could exempt the improvements done on the property but will retain the base value of the
property for taxes. The exemption would last for either eight or twelve years but if a
property is granted a twelve-year exemption, it would have to have an affordable housing
component.
Commissioner Haneke asked if there is enough land available in the City limits to meet
the housing requirements based on current zoning and density. Mr. Bates answered that
the projections are based on the land capacity analysis that was done in 2016. However,
changes will have to occur in order to allow for the additional housing types to be
incorporated onto the available land.
The matter was opened to the public for comment.
Darin Watkins, Government Affairs Director for the Spokane Association of
Realtors: Mr. Watkins stated that the Association is disappointed in the projections that
were made in the HAP. He feels that the data is too old to provide adequate numbers
and the information is already outdated. He stated that the Association developed an
assessment of the Spokane region outlining the market-based needs throughout the
area. It outlines a 94%reduction in housing availability since 2010, escalating home
prices (70% increase in home prices over the last five years), and a lack of inventory
that leads to more people renting. Currently, there are only 106 homes for sale in
Spokane County and only five of those are under $250,000.00. He expressed that the
solutions proposed are similar between the Association's assessment and the HAP but
he would like to make sure that all housing gaps are addressed and are based on current
numbers of the 2020 census.
Jennifer Wilcox, Spokane Valley: Ms. Wilcox stated that she is a proponent of the
HAP because she feels that the there are many encouraging solutions proposed to
3
04-08-2021 Planning Commission Minutes Page 4 of 4
address the lack of housing availability. She feels that the goals outlined are good
representations of the strategies needed for a growing city. One of the action items is to
provide housing assistance and she feels that will help residents to be more receptive to
affordable housing options. She stated that she is also a proponent of the proposed
housing fund because it would provide a source of flexible funding specifically for
housing needs.
The public hearing was closed at 7:12 p.m.
Commissioner Granrath commented that he would like to see the HAP updated regularly
with current numbers when they become available.
Commissioner Haneke moved to approve and forward to City Council a recommendation
of approval of the Housing Action Plan. There was no discussion. The vote on the
motion was seven in favor, zero against and the motion passed.
Mr. Bates explained that the Findings of Fact will be returned to the Commission at the
April 22'2021 meeting.
IX. GOOD OF THE ORDER: There was nothing for the good of the order.
X. ADJOURNMENT: Commissioner Beaulac moved to adjourn the meeting at 7:32 p.m.

SEPA—DNS Issued October 8,2020
Published Notice of Public Hearing: March 5 and March 12,2021
BACKGROUND: Title 24 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) adopts the Washington
State Building Codes and amendments to such code per Revised Code of Washington (RCW)
19.27..031 and 19.27.040. The 2018 editions of the International Building Code, International
Residential Code, International Mechanical Code, International Fire Code, Uniform Plumbing
Code, Washington State Energy Code, and portions of the International Wildland Urban Interface
Code, including amendments, were adopted by the Washington State Building Code Council and
the current state building code based on the 2018 editions of the aforementioned codes published
by the International Code Council became effective on February 1,2021.
Substantive changes to Title 24 SVMC have not taken place since 2007 when the building code
adoption-related regulations were relocated from SVMC Title 10 to Title 24; Ordinance 07-010 passed
by City Council on June 5,2007.
Staff Report and Recommendation CTA-2020-0004
ANALYSIS: The amendment will align the language of Title 24 SVMC with the State adoption of the Codes to
implement local amendments including the adoption of portions of the 2018 International Property
Maintenance Code and International Fire Code Appendix Chapters B,C,and D,and to implement clarifying
language related to permit expiration and land disturbance permits.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion — proposed replacement Spokane Regional Transportation Council
interlocal agreement.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 39.34 RCW; chapter 47.80 RCW, and chapter 468-86 WAC.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:Approval of interlocal agreement in 2003 to join the Spokane
Regional Transportation Council (SRTC), and approval of amended agreement in 2013. Administrative
report May 4,2021 regarding the proposed replacement interlocal agreement.
BACKGROUND: SRTC is the Regional Transportation Planning Organization (RTPO) for the Spokane
region, and further serves as the region's Metropolitan Planning Organization (MPO),both of which have
state and federal funding implications for the region. The essential duties for SRTC are identified in the
new Section(C)(3) as follows:
SRTC shall: (1) prepare and periodically update a transportation strategy for the region; (2)prepare a
transportation plan in cooperation with WSDOT, STA, and local governments that is consistent with
countywide planning policies under Chapter 36.70A RCW; (3) certify that the transportation elements
of comprehensive plans adopted within the SRTC boundaries comply with RCW 47.80.023(3); (4)
develop a six-year regional transportation improvement program which proposes regionally significant
transportation projects and programs,as well as,transportation demand management measures; and(5)
review level of service methodologies for cities and counties planning under Chapter 36.70A RCW to
promote a consistent regional evaluation of transportation facilities and corridors(RCW 47.80.023(8)).
The City has been a member of SRTC since incorporation, and have had one Councilmember as a
representative on the SRTC Board over that period,currently held by Mayor Wick.
As a result of a 2019 change to RCW 47.80.050(2), any RTPO seeking to be eligible for state funding for
operation of the organization must "provide a reasonable opportunity for voting membership to federally
recognized tribes that hold reservation or trust lands within the planning area of the regional transportation
planning organization and does not have voting membership in the regional transportation planning
organization"which must be done by August 1,2021. Currently,neither of the two qualifying Tribes within
the boundaries of SRTC have been provided a reasonable opportunity for voting membership as required
by RCW 47.80.050.
Given this, the SRTC Board discussed how to comply with this mandate within the existing language of
the SRTC interlocal agreement. It was determined that the language in the existing interlocal would need
to be modified in order to comply with RCW 47.80.050 and, if that portion of the interlocal was to be
modified,then there were other changes that should be made. After further analysis and recommendation
by attorneys for SRTC,Spokane County,Spokane Valley,Spokane,and STA,the SRTC Board determined
that the best course was to redraft a new interlocal agreement to clean up a number of issues.
The SRTC Board established a committee,comprised largely of the Board,to work with the attorney group
to provide policy directives to draft the new proposed interlocal agreement. The committee and attorneys
began work in mid-January, with regular meetings for fine-tuning policy direction and decision-making.
The working committee agreed on a draft in early April,which has now been sent to member jurisdictions
for approval. Pursuant to its terms,the new interlocal will be effective once Spokane County plus 60% of
the members representing 75% of the population approve it.
In addition to offering voting membership to the Spokane Tribe and the Kalispel Tribe(which must be done
before August 1, 2021), other changes of note include changes to the makeup of the Board (including
Spokane Valley now having two seats instead of one), and to provide a revised weighted voting system if
requested. The letter from SRTC Interim Director Kevin Wallace (attached) provides a summary of the
main changes.
OPTIONS: (1)Approve the proposed SRTC interlocal agreement; or(2)take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we approve the proposed replacement Spokane
Regional Transportation Council interlocal agreement and authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the same.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS:The City's membership dues are not anticipated to change as a result
of the new interlocal agreement,with each year's dues set by SRTC as part of their annual budget process.
In 2021, Spokane Valley's dues are $25,347.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion consideration—Splashdown 2021 lease amendment.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.A.11.020; SVMC 3.49.020(D).
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: May 19, 2009: Council approved agreement with
Splashdown;May 15,2012:update on Splashdown financial situation and current economy;May 22,2012:
Council approved lease amendment consistent with signed agreement letter; May 29, 2018: admin report
on the contract and new owners;June 5,2018 Council approved a lease agreement with"New Splash-Down
Concessions, Inc." (Splashdown); July 21,2020 motion approved to amend the 2020 lease; July 28,2020;
contract amendment approved(amendment due to Covid-19 impact); administrative report May 4,2021.
BACKGROUND: The City has had a series of lease agreements with Splashdown since the City approved
the first agreement with Splashdown May 19, 2009. The current lease agreement was executed in June
2018 when the Bleasner family came back into ownership of the facility, which operates on City park
property at Valley Mission Park.
The current lease requires Splashdown to pay the City $15,000 annually in three payments of$5,000 each
through the summer, along with a leasehold payment due to the County for leasing public property.
Additionally, Splashdown is required to maintain certain premises liability coverage for any claims that
may be made,in order to protect the City's interests.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic,the owners of Splashdown requested and Council approved an amendment
to the 2020 lease requirements. Splashdown was not able to open in 2020 as a consequence of emergency
health orders issued by Governor Inslee. As such, Council agreed to not require Splashdown to open and
further waived the lease payment for 2020.
Bill Bleasner had been the primary contact at Splashdown for the City. Mr.Bleasner passed away in August
of 2020, and the family is in the process of determining its future plans for the facility. One plan may be
to sell the waterslide facilities to a new owner,in which case the City would seek a new lease agreement.
New Splashdown owners recently approached City staff to talk about 2021 and expressed significant
concern whether they could operate Splashdown in 2021 due to Covid-19 health restrictions (particularly
physical distancing, capacity limitations, and disinfection requirements), let alone operating in a fashion
that would allow them to make lease payments. They noted that it is still unclear whether Spokane County
will be moving back to Phase 2,which would be even more restrictive.
The Splashdown representatives are now requesting an amendment to the lease for 2021 matching that from
2020 that would allow Splashdown to keep the facility closed for 2021, that would waive the 2021 lease
payment, and would extend the lease length two additional years to reflect the two years they could not be
open. They also identified that they need to know the outcome as soon as possible because if they are
required to open,they need to begin the process weeks before projected opening day after school lets out,
which is now set for Central Valley School District as June 18. They stated that starting up the park requires
considerable work and expense that they would prefer to avoid if Council agrees with their proposed
amendment.
In 2020, Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA), the City's liability provider, informed the City
that the Splashdown facility could be covered by the City's pool coverage so long as it remained closed,
and appropriately signed with "No Trespassing" signs,which has been done. City staff is requesting that
WCIA again provide this coverage if Council agrees to the amendments.
OPTIONS: (1)Approve 2021 lease amendments; or(2)take other action as appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the 2021 Amendment to the Lease Between the City of Spokane Valley and New Splash-Down
Concessions,Inc., as set forth in the attached draft document.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Loss of$15,000 in lease revenue.

DRAFT
2021 AMENDMENT TO THE LEASE BETWEEN THE CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY
AND NEW SPLASH-DOWN CONCESSIONS,INC.
Spokane Valley Contract#18-104.2
For good and valuable consideration,the legal sufficiency of which is hereby acknowledged,City and New
Splash-Down Concessions,Inc.mutually agree as follows:
1. Purpose: This Amendment is for the lease for New Splash-Down Concessions,Inc.by and between the
Parties, executed by the Parties on June 1, 2018, and which terminates on December 31, 2023. Said lease
shall be referred to as the"Original Lease"and its terms are hereby incorporated by reference. New Splash-
down concessions,Inc. is obligated to pay the City an annual lease payment of$15,000 plus 12.84%of this
payment as leasehold excise tax.
2. Original Lease Provisions: The Parties agree to continue to abide by those terms and conditions of the
Original Lease and any amendments thereto which are not specifically modified by this Amendment.
3. Amendment Provisions: This Amendment is subject to the following provisions: All such amended
provisions are hereby incorporated by reference herein and shall control over any conflicting provisions of
the Original Lease,including any previous amendments thereto.
COVID-19 continues to have a major impact on businesses in Spokane County. Due to the various
health restrictions placed by the state of Washington and the Spokane Health District, water facilities
such as Splash-Down Concessions,Inc.may not operate at full capacity. Given these restrictions,New
Splash-Down Concessions,Inc. will not open in 2021. Because New Splash-Down Concessions,Inc.
will not open for 2021,the City waives the lease payment for 2021.
The City will not require New Splashdown Concessions,Inc.to obtain premises liability insurance for
the 2021 season since they will not be open,and the operator shall post at least five no trespassing signs
on each of the four fenced sides of the property.
Section 2 of the lease is amended to change the expiration date of the initial term from December 31,
2023 to December 31,2025.
The parties have executed this Amendment to the Original Lease this day of May,2021.

EOCs.
c Using volunteers (as groups or individuals) for activities outside of the
scope of their intended purpose and/or training places them outside of the scope
of RCW 38.52.180, Chapter 118-04 WAC, and this Agreement. These volunteers
cannot be afforded protection under the Washington State Emergency Workers
Program; therefore Participating Jurisdictions desiring to expand the use of
volunteers beyond the scope established by SCEM are required to provide
coverage in accordance with L&I Industrial Insurance regulations.
7. Outreach and Education: SCEM will work in conjunction with participating
jurisdictions to provide disaster-related outreach and education in order to improve overall
