GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 6.05 SVMC. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of chapter 6.05 SVMC in 2003; minor amendments in 2005 and 2009; adoption of park regulations regarding exclusion of individuals from park property in 2019. Administrative report on February 15, 2022. First reading on February 22, 2022. BACKGROUND: In 2019, Council adopted amendments to chapter 6.05 SVMC authorizing the City's Parks and Recreation Department to issue a notice of trespass to an individual who has violated park regulations or otherwise violated any criminal provisions of state law while on City park property. The amendments also created an appeal process for the notice of trespass. However, a similar process is needed for other City property, including City Hall. Proposed Ordinance No. 22-003 would adopt a standardized trespass and appeal process for all City -owned property and facilities. Many of the City's facilities are open to members of the public for various uses, including necessary services at City Hall, park use in City parks, and police services in the Spokane Valley Police Precinct. Occasionally, individuals will engage in conduct that is dangerous, illegal, or unduly disruptive to City employees and officials, other members of the public, or even the individual themselves. In those instances, the City needs to be able to remove the individual in order to protect the public health, safety and welfare. However, the City's interest in protecting the public health, safety, and welfare must be balanced against the constitutionally protected liberty interest of citizens to be present and remain on open public property. The proposed amendments provide criteria and a process to balance the City's interest in protecting the public health, safety and welfare, and citizens' liberty interests. Generally, the proposed amendments authorize the City Manager or designee to issue notices of trespass to individuals who, while on City property or facilities, behave dangerously, illegally, or unreasonably disruptive, as define by the proposed chapter. Such removal is subject to reasonable time, place, and manner constraints, so that exclusions are not overly broad or overly lengthy. The duration of exclusion depends on, among other things, the nature of the activity giving rise to the exclusion and whether the individual has previously been excluded from City property and facilities. The proposed code also provides a procedure for an individual to appeal a notice of trespass. Because of the expansion of the trespass procedures in chapter 6.10 SVMC, staff are proposing a change to the title of Title 6 SVMC to "City Facilities and Parks." Additionally, since the proposed process will be standardized for all City property, the existing exclusion provisions in chapter 6.05 SVMC for parks will be amended to refer to the new procedures. OPTIONS: (1) Move to approve Ordinance No. 22-003 adopting procedures and criteria for trespass from public property to a second reading; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance No. 22-003 adopting procedures and criteria for trespass from public property. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. STAFF CONTACT: Erik Lamb, Deputy City Manager. ATTACHMENTS: Proposed Ordinance No. 22-003.

Such conduct creates an immediate public health, safety, and welfare hazard for City employees and officials and users of such property and facilities. In order to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, the City may from time -to -time be required to exclude such individuals whose conduct is dangerous, unsafe, illegal, or unreasonably disruptive to other users of the City -owned property or facility; and WHEREAS, this public safety need must be balanced with the due process rights of individuals by providing to them a clear explanation of the reasons for their exclusion and by providing to them a speedy review of the original decision; and WHEREAS, the City Council enacted similar provisions specifically related to parks in chapter 6.05 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC), but has not adopted such a process for excluding people from other City property and facilities, such as City Hall, when their conduct is dangerous, unsafe, illegal, or unreasonably disruptive to other users; and WHEREAS, the City Council desires to enact comprehensive criteria and procedures to exclude individuals whose conduct is dangerous, unsafe, illegal, or unreasonably disruptive to other users of all City -owned property or facility; and WHEREAS, the City Council hereby finds that adoption of the criteria, procedures, and the amendment to the SVMC are necessary for the preservation of the public peace, health, safety, and welfare.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 2.60.010 — Legal holidays. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: 2003 adoption of SVMC 2.60.010 establishing City legal holidays; September 10, 2021 execution of the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME), Local 270-V collective bargaining agreement. BACKGROUND: As part of the 2022-2024 collective bargaining agreement with AFSCME, Council agreed to add one additional legal holiday to those previously recognized by the City, for a total of 11 legal holidays in which City facilities are closed with most staff having the day off. The collective bargaining agreement applies to represented employees (generally non -supervisory), but the City has uniformly applied leave such as designated holidays as being applicable to Regular City staff. SVMC 2.60.010, which originally adopted legal holidays for the City, does not currently reflect the additional legal holiday, Juneteenth (June 19 of each year), and should be amended for consistency. In reviewing this Code section, staff noted several areas that had inconsistent language in referring to individual holidays, so this is also proposed for amendment. Lastly, the language adopted in 2003 contemplated that the City would have its own municipal court, and notes that municipal court would be closed as well as City facilities. This removes that reference since the City determined to obtain court services through an interlocal agreement with Spokane County and the Spokane County District Court. For reference, if a listed holiday falls on a Saturday, it is observed on the Friday immediately before. If it falls on a Sunday, then it is observed on the Monday immediately after. OPTIONS: (1) Motion approval to advance to a second reading with or without modifications; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move we advance Ordinance 22-004 to a second reading on a future agenda. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None. STAFF CONTACT: Cary Driskell, City Attorney.

WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley previously adopted SVMC 2.60.010 relating to the establishment of legal holidays recognized by the City; and WHEREAS, the American Federation of State, County & Municipal Employees (AFSCME), represents a portion of the non -supervisory City employees, and is the sole union representing City employees; and WHEREAS, as part of the 2022-2024 collective bargaining agreement with AFSCME, the City agreed to add Juneteenth as a recognized City legal holiday which, pursuant to SVMC 2.60.010, means that "all offices of the City of Spokane Valley, including the municipal court, shall be closed for the transaction of business, unless otherwise ordered by the city manager and/or city council;" and WHEREAS, Ordinance 22-004 is proposed in order to harmonize the City Code with the City's 2022-2024 AFSCME collective bargaining agreement; and WHEREAS, it is further appropriate to amend SVMC 2.60.010 to remove the reference to municipal court since the City never formed a municipal court, choosing instead to contract with Spokane County for district court services; and WHEREAS, it is further appropriate to amend SVMC 2.60.010 to provide consistent language in describing the commonly known name of each holiday. NOW THEREFORE, the City Council of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County, Washington, ordains as follows: Section 1. Amendment. Chapter 2.60.010 of the SVMC is hereby amended as follows: 2.60.010 Legal holidays.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Council has adopted Federal Legislative Agendas for 2019, 2020, and 2021. Council heard an administrative report on the proposed 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda on February 1, 2022. BACKGROUND: In coordination with the City's federal lobbyist, Cardinal Infrastructure, Spokane Valley is updating its Federal Legislative Agenda for 2022. The purpose of the federal agenda is to identify and advocate for City priorities at the federal level (i.e. U.S. Congressional delegation). 2021 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA STATUS REPORT The 2021 federal agenda included the same five priority projects as proposed for 2022 along with one programmatic request regarding the funding of at -grade rail crossing safety awareness and improvements. An update for each project is specified in the list below. Notably, three 2021 agenda items received support at the federal level: South Barker Road Corridor, Bigelow Gulch -Sullivan Corridor, and the at -grade programmatic request. 1. Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project — Federal Funding award - No This project did not receive any direct funding in 2021. The project unsuccessfully applied to the 2021 Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) program. The project continues to progress through engineering design and right-of-way acquisition phases. $24.3 million is the total need for the project's construction phase. 2022 may introduce new funding opportunities for the project to secure federal funding, see #6 Programmatic Request below. 2. Spokane Valley River Loop Trail —Federal Funding award - No This project did not receive any direct funding in 2021. Staff will continue to follow potential funding opportunities as they become available. The project has initiated its topographic survey and will start engineering design in 2022 on the two proposed bridges over the Spokane River and will prioritize the segment of the trail between Sullivan Park and Flora Park. 3. Bigelow Gulch — Sullivan Corridor Project —Federal funding award — Activity has occurred, but no award. Representative McMorris Rodgers included this project in the House of Representative's version of its draft Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development (THUD) appropriations bill. This version of the house bill is not expected to move forward. This project would have been awarded $2.65 million for the engineering phase of the Sullivan/Trent Interchange Improvements. Currently, staff is working with Washington State Department of Transportation on an evaluation of design alternatives at the interchange. Staff will keep Council updated as the alternatives progress through the spring and summer 4. Spokane County Regional Expo Expansion — Federal funding award - No This project did not receive any federal funding in 2021. The City had applied to the Economic Development Administration's (EDA) American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) Tourism funding opportunity. The request was for $4.25 million, which was approximately 50% of the original estimated project cost. On February 22, 2022, City Council gave consensus to withdraw the EDA application, as the estimated project cost was updated to $14 million. The City will continue to review the project and seek funding opportunities. 5. South Barker Road Corridor — Recent Federal funding — Activity has occurred, but no award. Senator Murray included this project in the Senate's version of its draft THUD appropriations bill. This project has been tentatively awarded $3 million. This version of the senate bill has yet to be approved but it is still "alive" in Congress. Further clarity on the status of the bill is expected soon. The total corridor cost is $18.8 million. If the senate appropriations bill is approved, the total funding need would be reduced from $12.9 million to $9.9 million. 6. Programmatic Request — At -grade rail crossing improvements — Recent Federal Activity - Yes The City's programmatic request has been fulfilled with the January 3, 2022, passing of the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, which includes $3 billion over five years as part of the new "Railroad Crossing Elimination Program." The creation of this program was led by Senator Cantwell and is a competitive grant program for highway -rail grade crossing improvement projects. The first year of competitive grant funds ($600 million) are anticipated to be released in 2022. PROPOSED 2022 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA The proposed 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda includes the same five priority projects and considers three new policy updates. The five priority project flyers have been updated with current project costs. Notably, the Pines Road project costs increased from $29 million to $34 million, and the Expo Expansion project costs increased from $9.5 million to $14 million. The funding needs were also updated accordingly. Pursuant to the discussion at the administrative report on February 1, 2022, the policy requests and project order were renumbered. No other changes have occurred since the administrative report. Funding Need/Request Total Cost 1. Pines Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project 2. Bigelow Gulch — Sullivan Corridor Project 3. South Barker Road Corridor 4. Spokane Valley River Loop Trail 5. Spokane County Regional Expo Expansion *Note: If Congress passes the THUD appropriations bill and $3 million is awarded to the project, staff will update the "need" amount accordingly. $24.30 million $26.10 million $12.90 million* $14.75 million $ 8.25 million $34.0 million $76.4 million $18.8 million $16.5 million $14.0 million 6. Policy Consideration #1 — Revise ARPA funds to allow expenditures for transportation projects 7. Policy Consideration #2 — Increased funding for transportation safety programs 8. Policy Consideration #3 — Increased funding for economic development programs Cardinal Infrastructure prepared detailed discussions of the policy requests and these were discussed during the February 1, 2022 meeting. Most of the substantive issues for the proposed 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda are carryovers from the 2021 adopted Federal Legislative Agenda. OPTIONS: (1) Move to approve the proposed 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda as presented or modified; or (2) take other action as appropriate. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda as presented. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Adoption of the 2022 Federal Legislative Agenda, by itself, will not have any budgetary impact.

The project will remove a BNSF transcontinental rail line at -grade crossing at Pines Road (SR 27), one of Spokane Valley's busiest arterial streets, In 2018, the Freight Mobility Strategic Investment Board (FMSIB) rated the Pines Road/BNSF crossing as the highest ranked unfunded Tier 1 rail crossing in the state out of 4,171 total crossings based on freight mobility and safety. Eliminating the crossing is critical to improving vehicle and pedestrian safety, increasing freight mobility and enhancing economic vitality across the region. The crossing is adjacent to the intersection of Pines Road and Trent Avenue (SR 290), which serves 35,000 vehicles per day, including freight trucks traveling from Canada and northern Idaho that connect to Interstate 90. A roundabout will be constructed at this intersection as part of the project. Key irnnovermen s o The grade separation project will replace the Pines Road/BNSF crossing with an underpass and redesign the adjacent signalized intersection of Pines and Trent. In conjunction with a grade separation project underway at the nearby Barker Road/BNSF crossing, this project will eliminate three of the city's at -grade crossings (Barker, Flora and Pines). • The crossing is located 200 yards north of Trent Elementary. The new underpass will reduce congestion and improve safety for students, staff and parents. • The existing intersection and BNSF crossing limits development of 170 acres of mixed -use or commercially - zoned property, and 56 acres of prime industrial -zoned property. The project will increase access to this property and generate additional economic development. Project details On average, 60 BNSF freight trains and two Amtrak passenger trains travel through the Pines Road/BNSF at -grade crossing each day. This results in nearly 28,000 vehicle hours of delay each year, and at least seven vehicle collisions from 2017 to 2021. BNSF plans to add a second main track to the existing rail line, possibly as early as 2023. A second track will likely increase train traffic and vehicle delays. The grade separation project also includes construction of a new roundabout at the adjacent intersection of Pines and Trent. There were 49 collisions in or near this intersection from 2017 to 2021. This project supports the "Bridging the Valley" initiative to improve safety, create more effective freight routes and spur economic development in Spokane Valley. ornic benefits Completion of the Pines Road/BNSF project will improve access to 170 acres of nearby mixed -use or commercially - zoned property, and 56 acres of prime industrial -zoned property that is currently undeveloped (see graphic below). ECONorthwest conducted an economic impact analysis that quantified the projected economic and tax impacts of the project: • $1.3 billion in total economic output in Spokane County ($686 million in direct spending) • 8,719 new jobs supported in Spokane County (4,312 direct job impacts) • $8.2 million in new general fund taxes to Spokane Valley (25 years at 4%) • $101.9 million in new general fund taxes to Washington State (25 years at 4%) Undeveloped IN Commercial Undeveloped ' Residential 0 Project Site Undeveloped Properties Pines Road/BNSF crossing Public safety and livability nh.a.nceneillts The project will significantly enhance vehicle and pedestrian safety, likely saving lives. In addition, it will greatly improve neighborhood livability. Overall the project: • Eliminates the Pines Road/BNSF crossing - saving four hours per day (average gate -down time) in vehicle wait time. • Improves commercial and residential traffic flow. • Enhances access to 1-90 and other main arterials in the Spokane Valley transportation network. • Increases access to key emergency services located on the south side of the city. In Enhances access to Trent Elementary for school buses, as well as students and families traveling to and from surrounding neighborhoods. • Eliminates 15 minutes of train horn noise per day at the crossing (based on 60 freight trains and two Amtrak passenger trains per day). r as Washington State City of Spokane Valley 10210 E.

The corridor has a deadly crash history due to congestion, absence of passing lanes, poor sight lines, steep grades, sharp curves, and a poorly operating interchange at State Route 290. The proposed project reconstructs the narrow two-lane corridor to a four -lane arterial, installs Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) fiber, cameras, and signs, and reconstructs the SR 290 interchange. The corridor will safely and efficiently provide an alternate route to Interstate 90, linking over 1,100 acres of the region's largest industrial centers: Spokane's Northeast Public Development Authority, the Spokane Valley Business & Industrial Park, and Spokane Valley's Northeast Industrial Area.

Havana Street, in Spokane Valley. The building will create additional space and versatility at the center, increasing its ability to attract and support multiple conferences and special events. It is estimated the expanded facility would generate $3.9 million in new visitor spending annually. In addition to boosting the economy, the building will provide a new and exciting showpiece for the Fair and Expo Center, which has not experienced any significant investment in more than 15 years. The Fair and Expo Center sits on 97 acres along Spokane Valley's western boundary. Spokane County will provide the land for the new building; Fair and Expo staff will maintain, manage and market it. The building is envisioned to be attached to the northwest corner of the existing facility. It will include new conferencing space, a full -service restaurant, administrative and ticket sales offices, and a stylish entry that welcomes visitors. A northwest view of the new building. Visitors will use the front entry to access conference events, but an adjacent outside entrance will remain for entry into the fair. Fence and 1 Fairgrounds' Access Gate dl Loading The new building will be attached to the northwest corner of the existing expo building. Cost and funding The city estimates it will cost about $14 million to construct the build- ing on land owned by the county. To date, the city has set aside $4.5 million in local and lodging tax proceeds to utilize for construction. The city also received a $750,000 appropriation from the Washington State Legislature in 2021 to support the project. This request for $8.75 million in federal funding secures the balance of the necessary funds.

The facility boasts 140,000-square-feet of indoor exhibit space, a 5,200-seat grandstand arena, and livestock facilities for the fair, which will celebrate its 71st year in 2022. An expansion of the Fair and Expo Center aligns with the City of Spokane Valley's economic and tourism strategy. In 2015, a formal study completed by the city's consultant, Community Attributes Inc., identified a strong connection between retail and tourism development. An analysis of retail sectors showed the city lagged behind in retail sales per capita in tourism -related sectors, including accommodations (lodging establishments), food services and drinking places, and performing arts/spectator sports. In partnership with the county, the city began exploring the concept of expanding the center in 2017. New spaces A preliminary footprint of the floor plan for the 32,300-square-foot expansion includes: • An additional 16,000-square-foot exhibit hall for trade shows and large events, and 7,800 square feet in smaller conference rooms (2nd floor). I. A 4,000-square-foot, full -service restaurant with indoor and outdoor seating. • An office for administration, 2,500 square foot. • A 2,000-square-foot lobby that welcomes guests and conference attendees. The building entrance will face E. Broadway Avenue. Building `>Flenefits The existing Fair and Expo Center is primarily limited to hosting trade show events and lacks the versatility to provide smaller rooms for meetings and conferences. The expansion would create a multi -use facility designed to: • Host single events that require both trade show space and small conference rooms. • Host multiple groups/events at one time through improved flexibility in dividing and using space, • Provide on -site restaurant service to conference attendees or ball park visitors. Currently, the area is generally limited to fast food establishments. In Provide on -site catering for corporate events, fundraising events, small private parties and celebrations, • Host regional distribution/health testing/inoculation events to meet future public health needs. The expansion will positively impact the local economy. In addition to the increased visitor spending noted earlier, it is estimated the new building would operate at a profit.

Washington, DC 20004 (202) 434-8266 cardinalinfrastructure.com 2000 Duke Street, Alexandria, VA 22315 City of Spokane Valley Federal Agenda Policy Priorities Prepared for review and consideration by Spokane Valley City Council in its FY 2022 Federal Agenda Policy Consideration #1— Increased funding for economic development programs Context: The Economic Development Administration (EDA) was established under the Public Works and Economic Development Act of 1965.The EDA was last authorized by Congress in 2004 and lapsed in 2008. Over the past 17 years, economic conditions, community development challenges, and industrial sectors have changed and evolved. The Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works and House Transportation and Infrastructure Committee, with jurisdiction over the EDA, is working to reauthorize the EDA and its programs. On November 3, 2021, Alejandra Castilla, Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development testified to the Senate Committee on Environment and Public Works, stating, "Reauthorization will allow EDA to help our nation build back better by giving us the ability to implement programs in a way that further improves conditions in highly distressed communities and supports the following priorities: Equity, U.S. Competitiveness, Modern Infrastructure, and Resiliency." On April 28, 2021, Dennis Alvord, then Acting Assistant Secretary of Commerce for Economic Development (now Deputy Assistant Secretary), testified before the House Transportation and Infrastructure Subcommittee on Economic Development, Public Buildings and Emergency Management, noting the growth in EDA's budget — "In 2017, EDA had an annual appropriation of $276 million. In 2018 and 2019, through two disaster recovery supplementals, EDA's budget authority grew to $901.5 million and $904 million respectively. In 2020, Congress provided the agency a historic influx of $1.5 billion under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act, in addition to $333 million in annual appropriations. Less than one year later, EDA has received an additional $3 billion in funding under the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021." The National Association of Development Organizations is calling for, among other priorities, an increase in EDA's annual authorized funding level to $3 billion. Draft language for Federal Agenda: The City of Spokane Valley supports the reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA), with robust funding to carry out its mission of "promoting innovation and competitiveness, preparing American regions for growth and success in the worldwide economy." The city encourages Congress to continue to direct EDA investments at regional and local projects, rather than funding distributed directly to state governments. This flow of funding remains aligned with the EDA's original 1965 authorization and mission. With opportunities for EDA to modernize programs by way of this reauthorization, the city urges Congress to remain traditional in the aspect of direct regional and local investments. The city recommends Congress authorize robust annual increases in funding for economic development grants for cities and towns through the EDA; increase EDA funding for national technical assistance that helps support the ultimate success of economic development projects; creation of a dedicated funding source for a new EDA Capacity -Building Grant Program for investments in early -stage project development, or 'pre -development' work. Policy Consideration #2 — Revise ARPA funds to allow expenditures for transportation projects Context: The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act and American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) provided direct funding to state, local, tribal, and territorial governments to assist in covering necessary COVID-19 pandemic and related expenses. Funding to state and local governments under ARPA are known as Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds, issued by the U.S. Department of the Treasury. On January 6, 2022, Treasury released its final rule for the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Fund program. The ruling, effective April 1, 2022, provides additional clarity and flexibility on uses, including capital expenditures, expanding public sector hiring and capacity, premium pay for essential works, and broadening eligible broadband, water and sewer infrastructure. On October 19, 2021, the Senate passed S. 3011— State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act. This would allow state and local governments to use a portion of COVID-19 relief funds (the greater of $10 million or 30 percent of the total ARPA allocation) for designated infrastructure projects, such as nationally significant freight and highway projects, as well as projects eligible under the Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity (RAISE) grant program, Bridge Investment Program, Community Development Block Grant, among others. The Act also allows recipients to expend COVID-19 relief funds on these types of infrastructure projects until September 30, 2026 (currently must expended by December 31, 2024). While the Senate passed S. 3011 by unanimous consent, the companion legislation is awaiting a vote in the House. The measure is supported by the U.S. Conference of Mayors, National Governors Association, National Conference of State Legislatures, The Council of State Governments, International City/County Management Association, National Association of Counties, National League of Cities, Association of Metropolitan Planning Organizations, and National Association of Regional Councils. Draft language for Federal Agenda: The City of Spokane Valley supports the swift passage of H.R.5735 - State, Local, Tribal, and Territorial Fiscal Recovery, Infrastructure, and Disaster Relief Flexibility Act. This Senate -passed legislation, pending in the House, will allow the city to use certain COVID-19 relief funds for new categories of spending, including for transportation and infrastructure projects. The city also supports and will benefit from extended deadlines for expenditure of certain COVID-19 relief funds. The city will continue to expend Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds in accordance with statutory and regulatory requirements while encouraging the expanded eligibility for use of funding. Policy Consideration #3 — Increased funding for transportation safety programs Context: The Federal Highway Administration's Highway Safety Improvement Program (HSIP) is a federal funding program with the mission of reducing in traffic fatalities and serious injuries on public roads. The Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act (ILIA) amends the Highway Safety Improvement Program, to include, among other amended and additional provisions, a Vulnerable Road User Safety Assessment conducted by each state to study the time and location of fatalities and serious injuries; makes Safe Route to School projects eligible for all federal safety funding; and adds eligibility for "specified safety project[s]," which may include a project that "promotes public awareness and informs the public regarding highway safety matters...[and] facilitates enforcement of traffic safety laws..." The IIJA created a new $5 billion federal discretionary grant program, the Safe Streets and Roads for All program, which supports local initiatives to prevent death and serious injury on roads and streets. An eligible project includes a proposal to develop a comprehensive safety action plan; conduct planning, design, and development activities for projects and strategies identified in a comprehensive safety action plan; or carry out projects and strategies identified in a comprehensive safety action plan. Eligible applicants include a metropolitan planning organization, political subdivision of a state, federally recognized Tribal government, and a multijurisdictional group of entities. Draft language for Federal Agenda: The City of Spokane Valley will seek federal funding opportunities to help mitigate traffic related fatalities and serious injuries. In partnership with the Washington Department of Transportation and the U.S. Department of Transportation's Federal Highway Administration (FHWA), the city will work to reduce transportation -related fatalities and serious injuries involving all road users, including pedestrians, bicyclists, motorists, and commercial operators. To advance the mission of enhancing safety for all road users, the city will seek funding from the newly created Safe Streets and Roads for All discretionary grant program. The city's project proposal will seek to employ strategies that can improve safety across the city, ensure equitable investment in safety needs among its residents and visitors, and adopt innovative technologies, delivery methods, and strategies to promote safety. The city will support annual appropriations for the FHWA's Highway Safety Improvement Program and Safe Streets and Roads for All discretionary grant program. Prepared by: Bennett E.

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Since the early days after incorporation, the Spokane Valley Arts Council has donated a number of sculptures to the City for public display. On March 12, 2019, Council approved the Agreement with the Spokane Valley Arts Council. On February 15, 2022, Council discussed locations for the placement of six additional sculptures. On February 22, 2022, Council passed a motion identifying locations for five of the six sculptures. BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Arts Council (SVAC) is a not -for -profit 501(c)(3) organization formed in 2004 for the stated purpose of working "with local businesses, civic leaders and artists to cooperatively conceive, develop and implement art -related programs and cultural activities." The SVAC has been instrumental in identifying projects to be constructed and located on property owned by the City, for the cultural benefit of our citizens. On March 12, 2019, Council approved an agreement with the SVAC that included various aspects of our long-term relationship. Section 4.a. of the agreement requires that the SVAC provide Council with a reasonable advance opportunity to provide input on which sculptures are chosen for donation to the City, recognizing that the ultimate decision to accept or reject any proposed gift of artwork rests solely with the City Council. Section 4.b. of the agreement further specifies that the SVAC provide the City with information at least one year prior to the time a sculpture intended for donation to the City is anticipated to be permanently placed, so the City has an opportunity to determine where the piece will be installed and also to budget for the costs related to installing the piece. On February 22, 2022, Council passed a motion to install Heart of the Valley and The Ascent in the future Balfour Park, Indomitable Spirit at the Appleway Trail Trailhead on University Rd and instruct staff to pursue installation of Huckleberry Daze at a site to be agreed upon by Council, Soulmates inside the future Spokane Valley Performing Arts Center (if constructed) and The Owl Woman Calls Your Name at or near the Pines Cemetery operated by the Fairmount Memorial Association. Tonight, staff is seeking a motion from Council regarding the future location of the sculpture Huckleberry Daze by Jerry McKellar. OPTIONS: 1) Move to designate the location of Huckleberry Daze by Jerry McKellar; or 2) take other appropriate action. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to instruct staff to pursue installation of Huckleberry Daze at BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There are financial impacts for the installation and ongoing maintenance costs associated with siting sculptures, depending upon the location: $64,000 is currently earmarked in Fund #312 for placement of additional sculptures.

At that time, it was the largest incorporation in Washington state and the 2nd largest single incorporation in U.S. history. The City will mark its 20t" Anniversary of incorporation on March 31, 2023. The 20th Anniversary presents an opportunity to celebrate by reaching out and engaging residents in topics that celebrate the City's past, present, and future. This would be achieved through events that may begin in late 2022. This milestone anniversary also presents a time for the City to renew its public image/identity, in reflection of its historic growth and maturation into a thriving community. In partnership with area organizations, such as the Greater Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce, staff will begin planning for the anniversary. Early planning will provide the opportunity to generate awareness and interest in the anniversary, develop potential celebrations/events, and consider funding needs and options. In addition, staff will solicit a consultant to recommend and implement strategies to assist the City in updating its public image in preparation for the anniversary. The intent is to use division - budgeted funds to support the work of the consultant. The consultant's recommendations and strategies will be presented to City Council for consideration and potential implementation.

Prior to this expiration and in view of it, the City Council considered options and voted to assume responsibility of managing the solid waste generated within the City. On June 4, 2014, the City executed a Comprehensive Solid Waste Transfer, Transport and Disposal Services contract with Sunshine Disposal, Inc. This contract allows Sunshine to operate the University Transfer Station. The contract term commenced November 17, 2014 and expires December 31, 2024, with two options for renewal. Pursuant to RCW 70A.205.040 (previously RCW 70.95.010), a city, upon assuming control of the solid waste handling within its jurisdiction, is required to prepare a coordinated, comprehensive solid waste management plan to be integrated into the comprehensive county plan. The City's plan was developed with assistance from a consultant. This plan provides guidance for the solid waste system in the City. The solid waste system includes garbage collection and disposal, and programs for waste reduction, recycling, organics, special wastes and the administration of these programs. Also, pursuant to RCW 70A.300.350 (previously RCW 70.105.220), each local government is directed to prepare a local hazardous waste plan which shall be based on state guidelines. The City's hazardous waste plan was developed with assistance from a consultant. This plan provides guidance for the moderate -risk waste management system in the City. The moderate - risk waste system includes hazardous wastes generated in small quantities by residents ("household hazardous wastes") and small quantities generated by businesses ("small -quantity generators"). On November 4, 2014, the City Council authorized temporary contracts for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of Washington, Inc. and Sunshine Disposal, Inc. allowing the City to fully assume control of solid waste collection. The City went through a comprehensive RFP process to identify long term solid waste collection contracts. Then in 2017 the City entered into the following long term solid waste collection contracts: • Comprehensive Garbage, Recyclables, and Compostables Collection contract with Waste Management (WM). Contract service began April 1, 2018, and expires March 31, 2028, with two options for renewal. • Two drop -box contracts — one with Waste Management and one with Sunshine Recyclers. Both contract's services began April 1, 2018, and expire March 31, 2028, with two options for renewal. Most recently, modifications to RCW 70A.205.045 required a Contamination Reduction and Outreach Plan to be included in each solid waste management plan by July 1, 2021. The City's Solid Waste Management Plan was amended to include a Contamination Reduction and Outreach Plan (Resolution No. 21-003) on June 22, 2021. Today, as required in Chapter 70A.205 RCW and Chapter 70A.300 RCW, the City has a Solid Waste Management Plan and Moderate -Risk Waste Management Plan. By law, both plans need to be kept current, reviewed and revised periodically. The City is embarking on updating both plans and is in the process of selecting a consultant to prepare and manage the updates. For these updates, the State Solid and Hazardous Waste Plan (Publication 21-04-050, published December 2021) is to be used as guidance. "The State Plan guides the management of waste and materials in the state, and aids local governments as they develop local solid and hazardous waste plans." Also, this plan places "waste reduction as the highest priority, followed by recycling, and then safe disposal." The state's 30-year vision is to eliminate most wastes and toxics and use the remaining waste as resources. OPTIONS: Discussion RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion/Information only. No action is required of Council. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Cost of plan revisions unknown at this time.
