DISCUSSION: the following aspects of Spokane Valley's 2023 State Legislative Agenda were discussed:
Funding Requests
Pines Grade Separation: Mr. Hohman noted that although we have approved our 2023 State Legislative
Agenda, it will now need to be amended as thanks to Senator Padden's work, we have received the final
funding package of $5 million; he said that the Pines Grade Separation Project is now fully funded and we
will spend 2023 acquiring the last pieces of right-of-way; and again, he expressed thanks for everyone's
hard work on this project.
Greenacres Park Phase 2: Councilmember Woodard discussed the Park's Phase 2, which will expand the
park to add a tennis court, pickleball courts, and other amenities; and he noted on the handout's map, the
red circle showing the new or expanded amenities.

Park; that it will draw visitors from all around the region and that the City requests support for the legislature
to fully fund two state grants managed by the Department of Commerce.
Councilmember Peetz talked about support for minor league baseball stadiums including Avista Stadium,
which is a huge asset for the community; it was also mentioned that ours is the largest of all stadiums in
need of help and one of the older ones, with Councilmember Woodard thanking Senator Padden for working
to support this project.
Policy statements were also discussed as noted on the agenda:
Working off the City's legislative agenda, Deputy Mayor Higgins discussed Public Safety, followed by
Councilmember Padden discussing removing barriers to Housing Construction; then City Manager
Hohman talked about amending the state law regarding municipal taxing authority; Deputy Mayor Higgins
discussed tax relief, and Councilmember Hattenburg talked about local decision making authority. Mayor
Haley addressed the issue of protect and restore local state -shared revenues, and Councilmember Woodard
discussed Growth Management Act Policies.
Mayor Haley asked if there were any other issues the legislators wanted us to know about, and Senator
Padden briefly talked about Employee Stock Ownership Plans (ESOP) like those offered with Yokes, and
WINCO, and said about 150 employees of Schweitzer Engineers retired as millionaires. Representative
Schmick mentioned the dire mental health situation and the need for more people in the field; he also noted
that passing the 988 suicide line is great but there are some smaller areas with no cell service; so those are
issues that need further attention.
Mayor Haley thanked everyone for coming. It was then moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and
unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting adjourned at 5:06 p.m.

ROLL CALL: City Clerk Bainbridge called roll; all Councilmembers were present.
APPROVAL OF AGENDA: It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded, and unanimously agreed
to approve the agenda.
GENERAL PUBLIC COMMENT OPPORTUNITY: After explaining the process, Mayor Haley invited
public comment.
Ms. Pam Marlow, Spokane Valley (via zoom): she spoke about our property crime rate of 62 versus the US
average of 35; asked what is the plan to try to curtail all the criminal activity; she mentioned low income
housing, specifically on Cherry Street, and asked what can neighbors do to try to curtail the criminal
activity.
Ms. Susan Scott, Spokane Valley: City Clerk Bainbridge mentioned that Ms. Scott sent in written comments
concerning tonight's agenda item #6, the Sprague Avenue Stormwater Project, and that she is opposed to
the project as a lot of taxpayer money has already been spent on this project idea. City Clerk Bainbridge
said she will e-mail Councilmembers a copy of the written comments.
Mr. John Harding, Spokane Valley: said he attended the earlier Council meeting today and that there was
a common thread among the discussion of mental illness; said there is apparently a willing desire by the
state not to address this so cities and others have to fill the void; said mental illness is growing rapidly
causing damage to society and he suggested maybe have a holding facility to take these people to in order
to access them and try to get them help; said the last he heard people are dropped off at the hospital but the
hospital doesn't have resources.

ACTION ITEMS:
1. Resolution 22-022 Amending Petty Cash Process — Dan Domrese
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to approve Resolution 22-022. Accounting Manager
Domrese gave a brief explanation of the purpose of the suggested changes, and that this is in follow-up to
the previous ordinance passed which allows us to go up to $1300 for petty cash. Mayor Haley invited public
comments. No comments were offered. Vote by acclamation: in favor: unanimous; opposed: none. Motion
carried.
2. Mayoral Appointment: Citizen to Spokane Housing Authority — Mayor Haley
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins and seconded to confirm the Mayoral appointment of Kristina
Walker to the Spokane Housing Authority Board of Commissioners for a five-year term beginning upon
appointment confirmation. Mayor Haley invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by
acclamation: in favor: unanimous; opposed: none. Motion carried.
NON -ACTION ITEMS:
3. Federal Legislative Agenda — Mike Pieper, Virginia Clough
Legislative Policy Coordinator Clough gave a quick overview of the proposed Federal Legislative Agenda
followed by a PowerPoint presentation by Mr. Mike Pieper of Cardinal Infrastructure. Mr. Pieper added
that they will be monitoring the three policy initiatives in the coming year. Councilmember Padden asked
if Policy #2 has to be voted on every year, said our Representative Cathy McMorris Rodgers voted against
this. Mr. Pieper explained that portions of the bill are subject to annual appropriation; that some of the bill
was mandatory spending which Congress will not change every year, but there is a significant amount of
money that Congress can change every year. Councilmember Padden said she has concerns about keeping
this on there if Representative McMorris Rodgers won't support that part of our legislative agenda.
Councilmember Padden also said that because of the permitting process and how well we have done, are
the changes proposed in the federal something that is 'up to snuff' with our City. Mr. Hohman explained
that there are two different things; there is the local aspect where we look at the environmental aspects of a
project, but we also look at the health, safety, and welfare of the structure; that some of the issues on the
federal level are more complex but are mainly not focused on structural elements of the project but more
on environmental impacts of those; that we have had fairly good success but it takes a while to get through
the NEPA (National Environmental Protection Act) process; the good thing is our staff is well versed in
that process but it takes a lot of time, some of which includes time with some of the consultants; again, it is
all very timely, for example, we have been actively working on the Pines project for five years; one of the
concerns we have with the infrastructure bill coming forward, is there are a lot of projects, but are they
`shovel ready' or in a position where they can be funded and be timely implemented; so taking five years
for a project tells us there is a lot of room for improvement; but in this year, we thought we'd focus on
permitting, so we would like to keep that policy in the legislative agenda. There were no objections. Ms.
Clough said staff will work on bringing this back with updates and costs.
4. Interlocal Agreement with City of Millwood — Cary Driskell
City Attorney Driskell explained about the proposed interlocal agreement with Millwood regarding
building plan review services; that this interlocal provides an opportunity for our City and Millwood to
collaboratively provide for the citizens of both entities without any apparent negative consequences for
either; and that he would like to bring this back on the December 13 agenda for Council's approval
consideration. There was consensus to do so.
5. Draft Fee Resolution for 2023 Master Fee Schedule — Chelsie Taylor
Finance Director Taylor briefly went through the proposed changes for 2023; said the last time this was
updated was May 31, 2022; she noted the proposed changes in the various schedules are shown in the red-
line version; she explained the CPI (consumer price index) automatic rules; she also noted that the $58.00
annual stormwater fee is included based on Council action taken November 9. There was Council consensus
to bring this forward for a motion to consider approving the fee resolution for 2023.

6. Sprague Avenue Stormwater Project — Gloria Mantz, Jerremy Clark
City Engineer Mantz explained that the project in question would extend the there -lane section on Sprague
east of University, to Herald Road and would allow us to provide stormwater facilities within the existing
right-of-way; that the tree mounts packed with utilities are currently in the grassy area which makes it
extremely unfeasible to provide drainage facilities within those; this means that we could provide drainage
facilities within those two eliminated lanes; she also noted we would not have to buy any right-of-way; also
that a narrower crossing section will provide a safer crossing. Ms. Mantz stated that staff were able to speak
with 17 of the 22 businesses located along the road and the businesses were very supportive of the project
and the lane reductions.
Mr. Clark spoke about the pilot project, which ran beginning September 19; said they had several interviews
with local television channels and they all covered the project; unfortunately the media portrayed the project
as a speed -reduction project with the stormwater aspects all but lost in the media. Mr. Clark said that when
staff had direct contact with citizens expressing concern or support, staff made sure the project was clarified,
that the project is for stormwater and a crossing improvement, but speed reduction would likely be a resulted
impact. Mr. Clark noted traffic cameras were also installed. Concerning the survey results, Mr. Clark said
that 32% supported the project, with 63% opposed and about 5% unsure.
Councilmember Hattenburg said he thinks people will likely be more supportive of this as time progresses,
much like roundabouts; said three lanes is plenty; that police and fire also support the project; said he heard
some people say maybe we should just put more police out there for speeders; said he'd rather see more
police officers out on call rather than sit on the corner of University and Sprague and write tickets all day;
and that he supports this project. Mr. Clark and Ms. Mantz also discussed capacity figures including future
capacity and growth projections. Councilmember Wick said his initial reaction was similar to the public's,
but looking at the videos and figures, as well as struggling with two more lanes of maintenance that he is
now leaning towards supporting this project. Councilmember Woodard reiterated that once the project is
complete, we will end up with a swale that will catch the snow instead of putting snow on the sidewalks;
that if you doubled the traffic from what you were seeing, we'd still have almost 40% of usable capacity to
expand; and said this is a well -laid out project, which focus is wastewater. There was Council consensus to
advance this project and allocate the $884,00+ in CLFR Funds (Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery).
7. CenterPlace Catering Contract — Erik Lamb, John Bottelli
After Director Bottelli explained the proposed changes to the contract, there was Council consensus to
move this forward for a motion consideration at next week's Council meeting.
At 7:22 p.m. Mayor Haley called for a recess; she resumed the meeting at 7:30 p.m.
8. Chronic Nuisance — Erik Lamb, Caitlin Prunty, Jenny Nickerson, Kevin Richey
Deputy City Manager Lamb explained that tonight is in follow-up to prior discussions of code enforcement
and a request from Council to look at our chronic nuisance provisions. Mr. Lamb explained that chronic
nuisance deals with criminal activity and not general nuisances; and he and other staff went through the
PowerPoint presentation, giving the definition of chronic nuisance per our code 7.05.045. Ms. Prunty noted
the importance of coordination with staff and law enforcement; followed by Ms. Nickerson discussing
further coordination on a list of potential properties. Staff mentioned referring cases to the police, how the
historical staffing issues have been addressed; and that there is good support with the City Manager staff
and opportunities to enforce these sites more aggressively; they discussed due process and our policy and
process of working with property owners; said they are hopeful that the Bake decision will be addressed in
the next legislative session; mentioned identifying properties based on complaints received; and that the
Police Department's investigative unit is now fully staffed.
Councilmember Padden asked if some of the general nuisances could be re-classified as chronic in terms
of repeat offenders and if we could take more vigorous action. Mr. Lamb said he would want to look at
issue and research it further; that foreclosing on someone's home is a major step and we haven't historically

done that. Ms. Nickerson noted that in terms of health issues such as raw sewage, our list of general
nuisances in our code includes building and other adopted codes which look at illegal modifications to such
things as a plumbing system; she stated that these instances are no more severe than trash or junk vehicles.
Councilmember Padden also asked bout the possibility of adjusting the threshold number of criminal items
to consider the seriousness of crime and length of time working with the owner to clean up the site. Mr.
Lamb said staff can look at those items as there are related legal issues including due process requirements;
and said we would want to look at how practically to carry out those issues and how it would impact staffing
as well as law enforcement.
9. Right -of -Way Maintenance — Bill Helbig
Director Helbig explained that this item is an informational item and staff is not seeking any action; rather,
it is an update on the vegetation maintenance particularly over the last spring and summer; as all noted in
his Request for Council Action form; he also noted the historical costs for services from 2019 to 2022. Mr.
Helbig added that fortunately, in anticipation of increased costs, the adopted 2023 City Budget includes an
additional $250,000 for contracted vegetation management.
10. Pavement Management Program Funding Options — Adam Jackson, Bill Helbig
After Mr. Helbig said that this is the 6 Pt time this topic has been brought before Council, Mr. Jackson went
through his PowerPoint which contained much of the same information Council has seen previously. Mr.
Jackson explained what makes up the City's paved street network; the Pavement Management Program's
(PMP) $16 million annual need versus the $8 million annual actual allocation, and which funds handle what
kind of work; he mentioned the 2021 public outreach milestones; and the 2021 Street Sustainability
Committee findings as they worked on the goals of evaluate, identify, and investigate. Mr. Helbig said the
main issue is funding options; that last July new legislation passed regarding Transportation Benefit District
(TBD) and sales tax; said we could do some council -manic or some via public input, and he mentioned
Airway Heights recent voter -approved renewal of their TBD with their TBD funded through a 0.3% sales
tax or three cents on a $10 purchase. Mr. Helbig asked if Council wants to fully fund the PMP and what
funding options should be pursued, with a list to choose from of property tax banked capacity, levy lid lift,
vehicle license fee TBD, sales and use tax TBD, excess property tax TBD, or utility tax.
Councilmember Padden expressed concern with new fees or new taxes; said we all agree roads is one of
the top four priorities; said we can't seem to be able to fund our roads out of our $10 million in revenues;
said residents are already paying their taxes so that money should be partially used for roads; said she never
sees an option to reprioritize anything we already have and that bothers her; said if the voters want to vote
it in, that's one thing, but maybe we should look at re -prioritizing, and since road preservation is one of the
four priorities, maybe it should be re -prioritized. Mr. Helbig explained that in public comments given to
Mr. Jackson, the public does not want to reduce funding of other programs, but he added that this is
Council's decision. Councilmember Padden said staff makes a blanket statement about public comment but
that is not a scientific survey as it only includes about 1,000 people out of over 100,000; she said if it comes
out the way staff likes, staff wants to quote it, but if it comes out the way staff doesn't like, like on Sprague,
staff wants to just ignore it. In response, Mr. Hohman said he would not debate whether or not the survey
was scientific, but said that we do not have money to backfill and to fund the program at the levels that Mr.
Helbig and Jackson are talking about; the estimates we did are two to three years old; and we know there
has been significant inflation, but we chose not to go back and update those because it would just add
another layer of discussion. Mr. Hohman said we have gone through this multiple times, and we are at a
point where staff needs direction from Council and if Council wants us to re -prioritize spending, Council
should tell us what they want to cut; that we are already transferring $3.5 million annually from the general
fund just to handle maintenance and that we are not tackling any of the backlog on the local access streets
except for the $1.5 million a year; beyond that, he said staff needs direction; so how do we handle the
finances and that is where we are looking for direction from Council. Councilmember Padden explained
that she wasn't saying it all had to be funded with existing, but was saying that it is never an option to be a
partial funding. Mr. Hohman then asked what existing service do we cut or cut back on or re -prioritize; so
staff is just looking for some guidance. Councilmember Padden said she has witnessed the end -of -the -year

DRAFT
surplus, when Council is asked what special project does Council want to spend it on; said maybe we
shouldn't be spending it on some of these projects, but instead maybe it should be going to roads. Mr.
Helbig re -stated that staff is looking for direction from Council and how to handle the funding gap.
Councilmember Hattenburg said he thinks that whatever we do, it needs to be evenly distributed; he
motioned the deteriorating telephone tax; that it could be argued that it really isn't a tax increase but is
replacing a fee that is less than it used to be, to what we need to manage the roads to a point; he mentioned
that the City of Spokane has 20% utility tax, $25 per vehicle license tabs, which he said he feels is not
evenly distributed; so we need to come up with some kind of fee; said he would personally prefer some
kind of sales tax like what was mentioned in the TBD; and said it needs to be done. Councilmember Peetz
said Council has heard this presentation several times and no one denied roads are important and of the
need to fund them; that as a citizen she would be willing to pay a tax because she wants better roads, but
likely not everyone feels the same way; that with everything increasing she feels the issue needs to go to
the voters and have the public make the decision.
Councilmember Woodard said we put $1 million from the general fund into road preservation; and we also
put $1.5 million of our excise tax fees into it; said roads should be handled by something that isn't
inflationary like our general fund; said housing is dropping and there aren't a thousand units in the whole
County for sale right now which means that excise tax will start decreasing real soon, likely next year;
regarding excise tax, said we will lose all opportunities we have on our grants that we go for on these major
projects; whether or not it is a surplus, that is all the money we have been able to put into fund 312 because
not only did we encourage businesses to increase here, but staff is concurrently worked with us, that if they
don't need it they don't use it; it isn't a surplus; he said one thing that wasn't mentioned is that the fund
must be dedicated; or what do you want to do that is a dedicated fund; said he will not vote for a tax or fee
that is not dedicated to the purpose for which it is supposed to be used; and said the public doesn't know
that; that we have to come up with a solution and we won't get it all from one source; said he has no problem
with a sales tax along with a TBD on a license tab; said 1% won't get it done, 3% would get close but even
so we will still have to transfer the $1 million from the general fund every year. Deputy Mayor Higgins
said staff is asking for direction; and maybe we start by acknowledging that with the time allotted tonight,
we won't reach a decision tonight, but he suggests looking at the list, and go down the list and determine
what can be eliminated from the list to get down to something that might be useable; he also mentioned that
by not fixing the roads, you put another expense on people because they will end up with auto repair bills.
Mr. Helbig went back to the first question: does council want to fully fund or develop new revenue streams
dedicated to road funding?
Councilmember Wick said he wants to make progress, and the community values roads; that we are putting
quite a bit of our general fund resources into this program now; said he is not sure he agrees we need another
$8 million; that he thinks the general fund should continue to contribute some funds towards our road
maintenance; he wants to focus on a TBD solution and said we need to continue to come up with better
ways; that surface treatments weren't contemplated when we came up with this number so we might come
up with some more cost savings; said he feels the vote of the people is the way to go, with perhaps a
combination of sales tax and car tab fees; if we do a combination of TBD, he asked what would the plan
look like and when would we touch on all the roads.
At 8:55 p.m. it was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the
meeting for another 35 minutes.
Mayor Haley asked if Council, by consensus, wants to fully fund or adequately fund the PMP, and there
was unanimous agreement. Continuing down the list of options, Mayor Haley asked for a show of hands
on the following: property tax banked capacity: none; Levy Lid Lift: none; TBD vehicle license fee: 4 in
favor; TBD Sales and Use tax: all in favor but to be voter approved, and not the 1%; TBD Excess Property
Tax: none; and Utility tax: none.

Mr. Helbig said staff was planning to come back to Council with more information on the various programs
where Council reached consensus. Mayor Haley confirmed just the vehicle license fee and the TBD, and
the sales and use tax and the TBD. There was some further discussion on the utility tax option, and Mr.
Jackson briefly went over the document contained in the packet that addressed utility tax. Councilmember
Peetz stated that there will be a significant effort in the legislature to add on a fee to the vehicle tabs for
zero fatalities, to pay for driving classes for teenagers; that it would be interesting to know how significant
that would be and what it might look like financially if we were to implement that. Mr. Jackson said staff
will look into that. Mr. Jackson said that concerning the method of the fees, would it be council -manic or
voter approval; because if we were to rely 100% on voter approval and the ballot issue fails, than nothing
would be funded. Mr. Hohman said that it appears Council wants more information on those two TBD
options, and staff will do so and not look at the utility tax at this time; he said that anything Council does
helps, and it could also be an incremental increase over the years; said staff is still looking for guidance
concerning priority but this is a start.
11. Plantes Ferry Interlocal Agreement — Mike Basinger, Susan Nielsen
Mr. Basinger explained that the purpose of the Interlocal is to memorialize in writing the agreement with
the County regarding funding opportunities at Plantes Ferry. Ms. Nielsen noted Council previously
authorized sending the County a letter of support to proceed with the approximate $4 million in American
Rescue Plan Act (ARPA) funds to develop a master plan, design, and the construction of some portion of
improvements at the Plantes Ferry Sports Complex; and as noted previously the cost of the master plan will
be split evenly between us and Spokane County. There were no objections from Council to proceed to a
motion consideration at the December 13 Council meeting.
12. Advance Agenda — Mayor Haley
Councilmember Peetz asked about including the topic of a blueprint for reform and community corrections.
Mr. Hohman said that is not on the advance agenda yet but he and Deputy City Manager Lamb have an
upcoming meeting with Spokane County Chief Executive Officer Scott Simmons and Jail Director Michael
Sparber so we will know more after that meeting.

CITY MANAGER COMMENTS
Mr. Hohman mentioned that there were several significant grant awards; said the Pines Grade Separation
project is now fully funded with $5 million coming from WSDOT; and that the Washington State
Transportation Improvement Board awarded the Broadway Avenue Concrete Intersection at Park Road
which is now funded with an almost $2 million grant; and the Transportation Improvement Board 8th
Avenue Pedestrian Bicycle Improvement Fancher to Park Road was funded at just under $425,000.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Higgins, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn. The meeting
adjourned at 9:15 p.m.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Sullivan /Trent Interchange Design Alternative
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• January 4, 2022: Administrative Report on amending the 2022-2027 Six Year
Transportation Improvement Plan, which included this project.
• January 11, 2022: Council passed Resolution 22-001, adopting the amended 2022-
2027 Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan, which included this project.
• March 22, 2022: Administrative report providing a project update
• October 4, 2022: Administrative report providing a project update
• December 13, 2022: Administrative report: Consensus to advance the Alternative #2-
Diamond Interchange w/ Roundabout to final design.
BACKGROUND:
Proiect Background
The Sullivan Road/Trent(SR 290) interchange connects rural freight traffic with one of the
region's busiest urban corridors. Sullivan Road between 1-90 and SR 290 is home to 9,000
jobs, 85% of which are directly related to freight. Large employers, including the Spokane
Industrial Park and Amazon, move their goods and employees via Sullivan Road and Bigelow
Gulch within Spokane County. Sullivan Road south of SR 290 is a WSDOT Freight and Goods
Transportation System (FGTS) T-2 freight corridor that turns into a T-1 freight corridor south of
Euclid Road and continues to its 1-90 connection, carrying over 10 million tons of freight
annually.
The connection of Bigelow Gulch Road into Sullivan Road will dramatically impact the
operations of the SR 290 interchange. Peak hour traffic volumes are expected to increase from
1,400 existing trips to 2,400 future trips now that the Bigelow Gulch Road improvements are
complete. Additional trip information will be gathered in 2023 to verify these increases. Without
reconstruction of the SR 290 interchange, it is expected that both westbound and eastbound
ramp intersections will drop from a current Level of Service (LOS) C to LOS F by year 2030.
This increase in traffic, and decrease in LOS, will degrade the safety of the existing interchange,
slow the movement of rural freight into the urban area, and ultimately restrict economic growth
in the region.
In 2021, the City selected KPFF Consulting Engineers (KPFF) to evaluate alternative designs
for the interchange. KPFF, along with City staff has evaluated four alternatives in terms of cost,
traffic flow, right-of-way needs, impacts to existing properties, constructability, safety, and other
pertinent project elements in order for the City to select the preferred alternative to advance to
final design.
The four alternatives that were evaluated are:
1. Signalized Diamond Interchange
2. Diamond Interchange with Peanut Roundabout
3. Diverging Diamond Interchange
4. Jug Handle w/ Roundabouts
Consultants and city staff held an open house meeting on October 27, 2022 to present the
alternatives for public feedback. Engineering team also reached out and met with several
stakeholders for their input on their preferred alternative.
Based on the engineering team's alternative analysis along with the community input, City staff
is recommending advancing Alternative #2-Diamond Interchange w/ Roundabout to final design.
Alternative #2 provides the best level of service, rates the best in reduction in fatal and serious
injury collision, rates the best in all total performance metrics for the alternative analysis, and
was the most favored by the community and stakeholders, including the Washington State
Department of Transportation. On December 13, 2022, Council reached consensus for staff to
bring forward a motion consideration on December 20, 2022, to advance Alternative #2-
Diamond Interchange w/ Roundabout to final design.
The City's project budget for the Preliminary Engineering design is shown below:

SUPPORT REQUESTS
Support for Grants Awarded to the Performing Arts Center:
The City requests support from the Legislature to fully fund: 1) a
$1,175,808 grant from the Youth Recreational Facilities (YRF)
program; and 2) a $1,848,577 grant from the Building for the Arts
program for a performing arts center in Spokane Valley.
These state grant awards will match private contributions to fund a
state -of -the art 59,000 square -foot performing arts center housing a
475-seat main stage, 200-seat flexible studio theater, acting
conservatory for area youth and event and business meeting space.
Support for Minor League Baseball Stadiums: The City of Spokane Valley joins communities
throughout the State to request $24 million to upgrade publicly owned stadiums, including
Avista Stadium. State funding will be paired with local funding to upgrade stadiums throughout
the state to allow minor league baseball to maintain its strong presence in Washington.
POLICY STATEMENTS
UBLIC SAFETY
Public safety is the City Council's highest priority. The Spokane Valley City Council and its residents support
a commonsense and meaningful approach to public safety policies that protect lives and property and do not
erode trust in government. Examples include:
• Make possession of controlled substances an arrestable offense, preferably a felony, and increase
funding for substance use treatment programs.
• Re-establish a reasonable suspicion standard for when officers engage in vehicular pursuits.
• Increase investments in alternative response teams, such as the City's behavioral health and
homeless outreach co -responder models.
• Increase resources to hire, train, and protect law enforcement officers.

POLICY STATEMENTS CONTINUED
MOVE BARRIER
HE 1 TR . TI 1 OF HOUSI
In 2020, the City of Spokane Valley amended its zoning codes to allow high density residential structures
within one-half mile of frequent transit stops. Additionally, duplexes and accessory dwelling units are allowed
in many residential areas. The City calls on the state to remove other barriers to the construction of housing,
including but not limited to:
• Revise condominium liability regulations.
• Evaluate the impact of the state energy and building codes on the cost of construction.
• Provide tax incentives.
AMEND STATE LAW REGARDING MUNICIPAL UTILITY TAXING AUTHORITY
The City of Spokane Valley requests that the Legislature clarify the conditions under which it is legal for a
municipality to impose utility taxes on revenues from a county wastewater treatment system.
TAX RELIEF
The City of Spokane Valley calls on the Legislature to provide relief to Washington's taxpayers, as provided
in other states.
A foundational belief for the Spokane Valley City Council and the citizens they represent is that the most
effective level of government is the one closest to the people. As such, the Council urges the Legislature to
respect local decision -making. Some examples include management of right-of-way and land use decisions.
' OTECT AND RESTORE LOCAL STATE-SHA' ' VENUES
The City of Spokane Valley requests that the Legislature protect and enhance local state -shared revenues to
allow the City to deliver vital services to its residents. These funds include the Liquor Excise Tax Account,
Liquor Board Profits, Municipal Criminal Justice Assistance Account, City -County Assistance Account, and
Marijuana Revenues.
ROWTH MANAGEME T A T POLICIES
The City of Spokane Valley will monitor proposals to make changes to the Growth Management Act and
supports proposals that honor local democracy and enhance the City's role in the planning process. The City
encourages the state to allocate adequate funding to cities to effectively implement planning directives from
the state.
The City supports AWC legislative agenda items that serve the best interests of Spokane Valley.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Approval of Federal Legislative Agenda
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: An administrative report was presented at the
December 6, 2022 meeting.
BACKGROUND: At the December 6, 2022 Council meeting, Mike Pieper of Cardinal
Infrastructure provided a status update on the 2022 legislative agenda items and the 2023 policy
statements, and Legislative Policy Coordinator Virginia Clough reviewed funding requests for
three projects: 1) South Barker Road Corridor Projects; 2) Sullivan/Trent Interchange Project; and
3) Argonne Road Bridge Improvements at Interstate 90. Tonight's report will include a reformatted
2023 Federal Legislative Agenda, with one -page descriptions for each project.
PROPOSED 2023 FEDERAL LEGISLATIVE AGENDA
The proposed 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda includes funding requests for three projects:
1. South Barker Road Corridor Projects — The Barker Road corridor parallels the eastern
boundary of Spokane Valley. The road intersects with Interstate 90 providing access to
more than 800 acres of industrial property and 220 acres of homes. The area is
experiencing rapid industrial growth north of the interstate and expanding residential
neighborhoods south of the interstate in Spokane County and east in the City of Liberty
Lake. Barker Road is a key arterial for vehicles accessing Interstate 90 or the east -west
Sprague Avenue corridor. ($18 million request)
2. Sullivan/Trent Interchange Project — Goal: Rebuild interchange with new bridges at
Trent Avenue and the BNSF Track. The City will reconstruct the interchange at Trent
Avenue (SR 290) and Sullivan Road, one of the region's busiest urban corridors.
Due to tremendous growth and the 2022 connection of Bigelow Gulch Road, the
interchange is expected to fail by the year 2030. Sullivan Road, between 1-90 and
SR 290, is home to 9,000 jobs, 85% directly related to freight. Large employers,
including Spokane Business and Industrial Park, Kaiser Aluminum, Mercer Mass
Timber and Amazon, move their good and employees via Sullivan Road and Bigelow
Gulch Road. The Sullivan Bridge over Trent Avenue is 62 years old and has a "Poor"
condition rating. The bridge height is too short and girders have been struck six
times in the last 10 years. ($39 million request)
3. Argonne Road Bridge Improvements at 1-90 Project — The Argonne Road bridge over
Interstate 90 (1-90) is recognized as the critical bottleneck of a regional freight corridor
connecting north and south Spokane County through the cities of Millwood and Spokane
Valley.
The City of Spokane Valley will request federal funding assistance for the Argonne Road
bridge over Interstate 90. The bridge improvements will be a companion project to
Spokane Transit Authority's (STA) Park and Ride facility proposed at Interstate 90's south
side between Argonne and Mullan Roads.
STA's Argonne Station Park & Ride was recently awarded a Regional Mobility Grant from
the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) in the amount of $9 million
for funding in the 2025-2027 biennium.
With this in mind, the City has about $1.3 million from Spokane Regional Transportation
Council (SRTC) to perform a preliminary alternatives analysis on the Argonne bridge over
1-90. These funds will be available in 2024 or 2025.
The City of Spokane Valley is pleased to partner with STA and WSDOT to improve mobility
and access for all roadway users. Once the project details and timelines are solidified, the
City will submit a specific federal funding request. (Request is pending design --
preliminary cost estimate is $24 million.)
The legislative agenda also includes the following three policy statements:
• Reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
• Continued Funding at the Authorized Levels for IIJA/BIL Programs
• Implement Reforms to the Infrastructure Permitting Process.
The City will be coordinating with Cardinal Infrastructure to schedule meetings to discuss the 2023
legislative agenda with the congressional delegation in the first quarter of 2023.
OPTIONS: Approve the proposed 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda as presented; or take other
action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the 2023 Federal Legislative Agenda
as presented.

POLICY STATEMENTS
Reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA)
The City of Spokane Valley supports the reauthorization of the Economic Development Administration (EDA), with 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.
Continued Funding at the Authorized Levels for IIJA/BIL Programs
The City supports continued funding at the authorized levels for programs included in the Bipartisan Infrastructure Law (IIJA/BIL).
Given the unprecedented growth and maintenance needs of existing infrastructure within the region, the City encourages Congress to
continue to support the levels of funding provided under the IIJA. The City fully supports robust Congress oversight of the U.S.
Department of Transportation projects and programs funded under the IIJA, and offers assistance in providing information supporting
the level of funding that has been made available. The City encourages Members of Congress to visit the region and see first-hand the
extraordinary growth driving the infrastructure improvements and the City's wise stewardship of these funds.
Implement Reforms to the Infrastructure Permitting Process
The City encourages federal agencies to move swiftly to implement the reforms to the infrastructure permitting process as required
under FAST 41 and revised under the IIJA. As the City continues to experience unprecedented growth, streamlining permitting could
help address critical safety and infrastructure needs, stimulate economic activity, and provide more employment opportunities. The City
encourages Congress, in its oversight role, to encourage the Administration to move expeditiously on implementing these reforms and
to ensure that such reforms have practical applications on the implementation of the IIJA.
South Barker Road
Corridor Projects
The Barker Road corridor parallels the eastern
boundary of Spokane Valley. The road intersects with
Interstate 90 providing access to more than 800 acres
of industrial property and 220 acres of homes. The
area is experiencing rapid industrial growth north of
the interstate, and expanding residential
neighborhoods south of the interstate in Spokane
County and east in the City of Liberty Lake. Barker

Improvements at Interstate 90
Problem Statement
The Argonne Road bridge over Interstate 90
(I-90) is the critical bottleneck for people and
goods moving through Spokane Valley and
eastern Spokane County. The bridge is old,
undersized, weight -restricted, and dramatically
limits mobility for all users through the
commercial and industrial corridor.
The bridge requires a third travel lane and
new shared -use path over 1-90 to handle
projected traffic volumes while safely
accommodating all non -motorized users.
Current Funding
In 2022, the City was awarded $1.2 million for
design by Spokane Regional Transportation
Council (SRTC) to identify a solution: widen the
existing bridge or construct a new bridge. The
City anticipates beginning design in 2023.
Project Partnerships
By 2026, Spokane Transit Authority (STA), the
region's transit provider, expects to start building
its I-90 regional Park & Ride Facility along the
south limits of the interchange. This transit project
will be funded primarily by the Washington Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT). Together, the City, STA,
and WSDOT will be responsible for collaborating to deliver both projects.
Add 3rd Lane

2 Lane Bridge

Next Steps
The City will pursue design in 2023 while developing the project scope. The project has a preliminary
total cost estimate of $24 million. The City anticipates pursuing federal grant opportunities once the
scope is more clearly defined and a more refined cost estimate is created.
Key Project Considerations
• Existing two-lane bridge has critical
shortcomings:
✓ Insufficient bridge clearance over I-90
✓ Weight restricted and WSDOT rated "fair"
✓ No pedestrian or bicycle facilities provided
(new shared use path is proposed)
• Argonne Corridor is highly rated by WSDOT:
✓ National Highway System Type 1
✓ Freight & Goods Transp. System Tier 1
✓ Congestion Management Process Tier 1

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Neighborhood Restoration Program Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• February 2018 Winter Workshop - Neighborhood Restoration Program requested to be an
item on Advanced Agenda
• February 2019 Winter Workshop - Neighborhood Restoration Pilot Event presentation
• July 2019 — Information -Only Update on the Draft Agreement with SCOPE
BACKGROUND:
The City Council has identified a desire to revisit a City of Spokane Valley Neighborhood
Restoration Program to identify and provide neighborhood clean-up events around the City.
In 2019, Staff, City Council members and a representative from SCOPE met and outlined
parameters for a pilot neighborhood restoration event in the Edgecliff neighborhood for City
Council consideration. The event concept was presented at the February 2019 Winter
Workshop and Council gave consensus to finalize the pilot program and to have SCOPE
provide volunteer services to operate the pilot event on behalf of the City, with costs reimbursed
by the City. Unfortunately, the event in 2019 never came to fruition as the contract with SCOPE
to manage the event never reached finalization.
Some details of the event included:
• Target audience was single-family households in the Edgecliff neighborhood.
• Event location was a WSDOT-owned parcel on 4th Avenue.
• SCOPE volunteers were to manage the details of the event such as container placement,
traffic control, ticket collection, maintaining the peace, etc.
• Cost of disposal was to be funded through the City's Solid Waste fee that is collected at the
University Transfer Station.
• Event day and time was a Saturday from 9:00 am until 2:00 pm.
• Each household was allowed one trip and could bring up to one pickup truck amount of
material for free disposal. Allowed materials included garbage, recyclables, organics/
compostables, bulky waste, appliance with refrigerant, appliance without refrigerant, tires (5
max) and charitable donation/reusables.
• Participation was prescribed by sending pertinent households a ticket and a flyer with all the
details and instructions. Tickets needed to be presented for access. One ticket per
household, one trip per ticket.
To improve the success of a Neighborhood Restoration event it will be important to have:
• community involvement, education, and advertising;
• adequate dumpsters, tools, gloves, masks, hydration;
• volunteers available to help remove items that cannot be put out by property
owners/tenants;
• if vouchers are provided to enable citizens to take material to a disposal site, then need
volunteers to help transport and dispose of material.
In preparation for this event, Staff had discussions with other jurisdictions about their
neighborhood cleanup events and found that cleanups are common throughout Washington.
Events are held regularly and usually there is one event per neighborhood per year. Typically,
there is a group in charge of the event such as a neighborhood association, concerned citizens
in the neighborhood or a non-profit organization.
Since 2019, Staff has met several times with Code Enforcement and the Homeless Coordinator
to try to further understand the underlying problems creating the trash, eyesore and nuisance
problems in our neighborhoods and discuss the particulars of a restoration program. In these
discussions several enlightening points came up, primarily that the causes of neighborhood
blight are often deep, persistent personal issues and thus neighborhood restoration is a
marathon. This is why jurisdictions throughout the state have regular, annual clean-up events;
the need is continuous.
Helpful also are improvements that uplift neighborhoods such as street trees, sidewalks (which
also limit area for abandoned vehicles) and rezoning property to make it attractive for owners to
redevelop and upgrade.
Lastly, often there is trash on public (e.g. WSDOT) or commercial land that is not connected to a
home -owner. Due to funding or staff limitations, trash in these areas can go for a long time
without being addressed. For the right-of-way areas, Council may approve using solid waste
administrative funds to hire people to periodically clean up these areas. For the commercial
areas, continue to provide outreach to the owners to address the nuisance issues on their
property.

Enforcement Program follow-up — Topic #2 Camping; March 8, 2022 Administrative Report on Code
Enforcement Program - parking on private property CTA language.
BACKGROUND: The Code Enforcement division of the City of Spokane Valley Community & Public
Works Department is responsible for the investigation and enforcement of the Spokane Valley Municipal
Code, specifically Chapter 7.05 and Titles 17 through 24. City Council has heard several presentations
from Code Enforcement and City Attorney Office staff on various topics including parking, camping, and
chronic nuisances. The Code Enforcement division has undergone a staffing change, both current Code
Enforcement Officers joined the Community & Public Works team during the summer of 2022. However,
their backgrounds and experience have allowed them to build on their knowledge and quickly adapt to the
Code Enforcement Officer role.
During this presentation, staff will provide an overview of the Code Enforcement process and share photos
and video of abatement projects performed during 2022. The services of the Geiger work crew have been
utilized in the past, but due to the recent unavailability of the Geiger crews, staff have begun contracting
for abatement services. Significant assistance was provided throughout the year by Engineering Division
staff to engage asbestos abatement and building demolition contractors. Code Enforcement Officers have
reached out to numerous contractors to obtain quotes and to schedule services such as dumpster delivery,

PLANNING AND GRANTS
Congressionally Directed Spending (CDS)
On July 29, Senator Murray issued a press release announcing FY23 CDS project awards included in the Senate's draft
Appropriations Bill, which includes $5 million for the Pines Road/BNSF GSP. The federal process won't likely finalize any
bills until 2023, which gives time for Congress to revise the project list and award amounts. More to follow.
Safe Streets and Roads for All (SS4A)
In September, SRTC submitted a regional application to the SS4A program to create a regional safety planning document
that evaluates safety trends (based on crash data) and creates a prioritized project list for future grant program requests.
The City will participate in the local match by paying $15,000 of the $100,000 total (realized only if awarded funding). This
application will benefit Spokane Valley by furthering the evaluation of safety hazards in the region, including the City, and
help prioritize those hazards within our City. Further, it is anticipated that state and federal grant programs will award
funds based on the outcomes of the safety plan that would result from a SS4A award. More to follow.
WSDOT's Railroad Crossing Grant Program (RCG)
Washington State Dept. of Transportation (WSDOT) announced its 2022 call for projects for the Railroad Crossing Grant
(RCG) Program. This program was primarily sponsored by Senator Padden during the state's most recent legislative session
and included as part of the Move Ahead Washington transportation package. The funding is to provide a non-federal
"match" to those agencies applying for federal funding through the USDOT's Railroad Crossing Elimination (RCE) Program
or its Consolidated Rail Infrastructure and Safety Improvements (CRISI) grant program. The City was successfully awarded
$5 million; however, the grant program did not include funding from USDOT's RAISE program as an eligible match. As a
result, in October, WSDOT re -issued the call for projects with a revision to account for other USDOT grant programs, such
as RAISE, that can be used as eligible match amounts. Staff submitted a new application on October 6 requesting $5
million. WSDOT is expected to announce awards in mid -November.
Transportation Improvement Board (TIB)
On June 1, 2022, the Washington State TIB issued a Call for Projects for the Urban Arterial Program (UAP) and the Active
Transportation Program (ATP). The UAP has historically funded Spokane Valley street -related projects. The new ATP
program is intended to deliver more holistic transportation projects, as related to non -motorized users, rather than
sidewalk -only improvements. On July 26, City Council authorized the City Manager to apply for the following UAP and
ATP projects: Broadway & Park Concrete Intersection (UAP), Barker Road Roundabouts at 4th and 8th (UAP), Pines
Road/BNSF GSP (UAP — only if awarded RAISE funds), and the 8th Ave. sidewalk and bicycle improvements (ATP).
Applications are due August 19 and awards are announced December 2.
WA Dept. of Ecology's Water Quality Combined Funding Program (WQC)
On August 9, 2022, the Washington State Department of Ecology issued a Call for Projects for the Water Quality
Combined Funding Program (WQC) for state fiscal year 2024. The application combines multiple funding programs into
one application process where Ecology staff will evaluate each application received and separate them into respective
funding pots. Potential City projects generally align mostly with the Stormwater Financial Assistance Program (SFAP)
grants. Local match must be at least 15% of the total project cost. On September 27, City Council authorized the city
manager to submit an application for the Sprague Ave. Stormwater Improvement Project, between Mullan and Herald
Roads. On October 6, staff submitted the application requesting $1,837,604 from the program. Award announcements
are anticipated in January 2024.
Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) Unified List of Regional Transportation Projects
Through October, staff worked with SRTC to submit its adopted 2022 legislative agenda of projects for inclusion in
SRTC's regional project list. The SRTC list is used to advocate for regional transportation projects amongst state funding
partners. SRTC will presented a draft project list in October that assigned projects into three unique categories:
implementation (i.e. more "construction -ready" projects), development (i.e. design and right-of-way phases) and
initiation (i.e. preliminary design or conceptualization). The City projects included three implementation projects: Pines
Road/BNSF Grade Separation Project, South Barker Road Corridor, and the Spokane Valley River Loop Trail. The City also
had one development project: Sullivan/Trent Interchange. In November, the SRTC Board will evaluate the proposed
project list and look to finalize its prioritization.
