AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: 2024 Congressionally Directed Spending
Requests (Earmarks)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• February 23, 2021 — City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the City's
priority project list to federal delegation for 2022 budgeting.
• March 29, 2022 — City Council authorized the City Manager to submit the City's priority
project list to federal delegation for 2023 budgeting.
• December 20, 2022 — City Council approved its 2023 federal legislative agenda.
BACKGROUND: Starting in 2021, Congress implemented its Congressionally Directed
Spending (CDS) request process to federally fund community projects as part of the upcoming
year's budget. Commonly, CDS funded projects are called "earmarks." The City has been
successful each year. In 2021, the South Barker Road Corridor received $3 million with Senator
Murray's sponsorship. In 2022, the Sullivan and Trent Interchange Project received $2.65
million (sponsored by Senator Cantwell and Representative McMorris Rodgers) and the Pines
Road/BNSF Grade Separation project received $5 million (sponsored by Senator Murray).
Senator Murray's application request was opened on February 7 and is due February 28. Staff
anticipate remaining applications will be made available by Congress in the coming weeks.
Historically, CDS funds have required a 13.5% non-federal match. Staff anticipates this year
will be like the last two years and propose submitting CDS funding requests for each of the
City's 2023 federal agenda projects identified in Table 1.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Potential Grant Opportunity — Local Bridge
Program (Sullivan & Trent Interchange Project)
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35.77.010: Six -Year Transportation Improvement Program
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
• Since 2019, the City has identified the Sullivan & Trent Interchange project as a City priority
project and included it on its federal agenda.
• In 2021, the City partnered with Spokane County to submit a joint application to the United
States Department of Transportation. The application was not awarded funding.
• 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 bring forward the Alternative #2-
Diamond Interchange w/ Peanut Roundabouts to final design.
• December 20, 2022, City Council passed a motion to advance Alternative 2 — Diamond
Interchange w/ Peanut Roundabouts to final design.
• January 31, 2023, City Council passed a motion to apply for the federal grant program,
RAISE, for the Sullivan & Trent Interchange Project.
BACKGROUND: The Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) issued a call
for projects on Monday, February 6, 2023, for the Federal Local Bridge Program (FLBP). The
purpose of the FLBP is to improve the condition of bridges through replacement, rehabilitation,
and preventative maintenance. In recent years, the City's most eligible projects were related to
bridge -deck maintenance (Sullivan Rd. over UPRR and Mission Rd. over Evergreen Ave.).

April 28, at 2PM PDT
Draft recommendations in September 2023
No later than September 30, 2027
For 2023, staff suggests applying for the Sullivan & Trent Interchange Project under the
"replacement" category. To date, the City has secured roughly $6.6M of federal grant funds for
the project. The secured funding fully funds the engineering and right-of-way phases, leaving
the construction phase of the project unfunded. Table 1 shows the projected application funding
breakdown and captures the current cost estimate updates provided by the consultant team.
The funding request assumes a parallel application request to USDOT's RAISE program.

other action.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager or designee, to
apply for the Federal Local Bridge Program grant, requesting $10 million for the Sullivan & Trent
Interchange Project.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The FLBP does not have a specific non-federal match
requirement. However, given that the FLBP would be one funding partner out of multiple
funding partners, it can be expected that the overall project will still require a non-federal match
(as outlined in Table 1). The City's parallel application to the RAISE program requires a 20%
minimum non-federal match, equal to about $8.5 million.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Centennial Trail Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Centennial Trail Cooperative Agreement approved in
June 2014. Amendment to the Cooperative Agreement approved in 2018.
BACKGROUND: The Spokane River Centennial Trail comprises 40 miles of natural beauty
following the historic Spokane River from the Idaho state line to Nine Mile Falls, WA. Designed
for use by people of all ages and physical capabilities, the Trail is fully paved so it is ADA
(American with Disabilities Act) accessible. It is used by more than two million people per year
for leisure and exercise, commuting to work, organized sporting events, and general recreation
and wildlife observation. The Trail is also marked by sites of historic and archaeological interest.
With its most urban section in downtown Spokane, the Centennial Trail branches out to more
rural west and east endpoints and continues beyond into Idaho for a total of more than 60 miles.
The Trail mostly follows the contours of the Spokane River connecting along the way with the
Cheney -Fish Lake Trail, Plante's Ferry Link Trail, and the Liberty Lake Trail, creating the
backbone of our area's regional trails network.
In 1979, Spokane County Parks proposed a bicycle/pedestrian pathway along the Spokane
River. Five years later, the Spokane Valley Chamber of Commerce formed a Parks and
Recreation Committee to explore this recreational possibility. In 1986, this committee proposed
an initial 10.5-mile recreational trail in the valley, naming it a "Centennial Trail" to coincide with
Washington State's 100th birthday in 1989. In 1987, the internationally recognized architectural
firm Jones & Jones was selected to develop a master plan for the Centennial Trail. It truly took
an entire community to build the trail system with fundraisers, volunteers, and local businesses.
In 1991, the Friends of the Centennial Trail was created as a nonprofit Washington corporation
dedicated to the ongoing support of the public sector for the development, operation,
maintenance, and enhancement of the Centennial Trail. With the cooperation of the entire
community, roughly 30 miles of class 1 trail were completed by 1992. The remaining seven
miles consisted of class 2 and 3 trails to create a contiguous trail system. The Trail was initially
maintained via a cooperative agreement between the Washington State Parks & Recreation
Commission, the City of Spokane and Spokane County through their respective parks
departments with assistance by the Friends of the Centennial Trail.
When the City of Spokane Valley incorporated in 2003, the City inherited its parks system from
Spokane County and began managing and maintaining the seven miles of Trail that run through
its boundaries, as if it were a signatory to the original cooperative agreement. On June 10,
2014, a new revised Interagency Cooperative Agreement was approved by the City Council.
The 2014 agreement formally added the City of Spokane Valley to the interagency partnership,
established a Management Plan, and established a Trail Maintenance Fund to consider capital
needs not covered under the terms of the Management Plan (routine maintenance). Spokane
County agreed to be the steward of the Trail Maintenance Fund which is funded in equal
amounts annually by each jurisdiction. To -date the City of Spokane Valley has contributed
$160,000 to the Fund in annual $20,000 installments since 2015.
In 2018, the first amendment to the new agreement added the City of Liberty Lake as a party to
the interagency partnership including an annual contribution of $20,000 to the Trail Maintenance
Fund beginning in 2019.
The five parties to the Interagency Agreement — Washington State Parks, the City of Spokane,
Spokane County, the City of Spokane Valley, and the City of Liberty Lake — all share in the
maintenance and operation of the Trail, including the funding of the Trail Maintenance Fund.
The Centennial Trail Coordinating Council meets monthly throughout each year to administer
the cooperative agreement and manage and address issues on the Trail. The Coordinating
Council is comprised of a representative from each of the five jurisdictions plus the Friends of
the Centennial Trail which serves as a non -voting member. For 2023, the Spokane Valley
Parks & Recreation Director is serving as Chair of the Coordinating Council.
With the assistance of Friends of the Centennial Trail Executive Director Loreen McFaul, staff
will provide an update for Council and the public and highlight recent improvements and
ongoing projects along the trail within the City of Spokane Valley.
OPTIONS: Discussion
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City's Parks & Recreation budget includes $20,000 each
year that is paid into the Trail Maintenance Fund administered by Spokane County for capital
projects, and approximately $70,000 that is spent through the Parks Maintenance contract on
the operation and maintenance of the Centennial Trail within our municipal boundaries.

Discover the Centennial Trail
Walk, jog, bike, and sightsee! Like the Spokane River it traces, the 40-
mile paved Centennial Trail provides something for everyone. Start from
downtown and take the trail west through the Kendall Yards community,
along the high bluff above the river, and all the way out through the
massive Riverside State Park. Or, start by heading east through
Riverfront Park, towards Gonzaga University, and all the way out to the
Idaho border on your way to Coeur d'Alene. Whether you're lacing up
your shoes, renting a bike, or bringing your binoculars, there's a pocket
of the Centennial Trail waiting just for you.

Agreement as set forth below.
NOW THEREFORE, in order for LIBERTY LAKE to become a voting member of the
Coordinating Council and in consideration of the mutual benefits to be derived, the PARTIES
hereby agree the Spokane River Centennial Trail Agreement is amended as follows:
Section 1: Term
The term of the Agreement shall extend through August 5th, 2034. This Agreement may be
renewed in 10-year increments upon expiration of the original term by mutual agreement of the
PARTIES. The COMMISSION will be given the first right to renew the Agreement before any
Page 3 of 24
other party is given the opportunity to manage the Trail under agreement with the COUNTY,
LIBERTY LAKE, SPOKANE and SPOKANE VALLEY.
Section 2: Development and Management
(a) All development and management of the Trail shall be the responsibility of the
COMMISSION, unless otherwise provided herein, and the COMMISSION shall be the lead
agency in preparing future development plans. Operation, including maintenance and law
enforcement, shall be as set forth in Exhibit 1 - Management Plan ("Management Plan"), which
is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference. Each jurisdiction shall be
responsible for all costs related to providing ordinary Trail operation, maintenance and law
enforcement activities as outlined in the Management Plan. In the event of a capital repair or
project (a project that falls outside of the parameters of ordinary maintenance as outlined within
Exhibit 1 - Management Plan and/or exceeds $25,000 to complete), the underlying property
owner or lease holder shall assume full responsibility (financially and otherwise) for project
completion, barring any other agreements in place that may otherwise supersede.
(b) In the event of a capital repair or project impacting the Trail and/or associated buffer
lands, the responsible party may elect to petition the other PARTIES for evaluation of
opportunities for cooperative funding in accordance with Exhibit 2 — Trail Maintenance Fund
("Maintenance Fund") which is attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.
Construction, alteration or repair to the Trail that is paid for in part or in whole from the
Maintenance Fund will require the unanimous approval of all PARTIES. PARTIES will also
agree to which entity will be responsible for carrying out the work including planning,
permitting, contracting, spending, and the liability associated with such activities. No such work
Page 4 of 24
will begin without the written approval of the plans by all PARTIES. Written approval can be in
letter form or electronically by e-mail. In the event of an emergency requiring immediate action
to protect persons or property, the PARTIES may call a special meeting or communicate by
phone or e-mail to approve emergency spending. All construction or reconstruction must
comply with applicable state and local laws. In the absence of cooperative funding, the
responsibility for capital repairs shall fall to the underlying land owner or lease holder for the
section of Trail in need of repair. The PARTIES shall meet every three years for the life of this
Agreement to review the capital funding threshold (currently at $25,000 — which is presently the
state threshold for capital funding).
Section 3: Coordinating Council
A Coordinating Council comprised of one (1) representative of each of the PARTIES, as
well as a non -voting representative of the Friends of the Centennial Trail, shall be established to
carry out all its responsibilities as outlined in the Management Plan and Maintenance Fund. The
Coordinating Council representative from each party to this Agreement shall be as follows:
• Washington State Parks: Riverside State Park Manager or Designee
• Spokane County: Parks, Recreation & Golf Director or Designee
• Spokane: Parks and Recreation Director or Designee
• Spokane Valley: Parks and Recreation Director or Designee
• Liberty Lake: Parks and Recreation Director or Designee
• Friends of The Centennial Trail (non -voting): Executive Director or Designee
Each representative shall have responsibility for disseminating information to other individuals
and parties in his/her group and for coordinating matters for the administrative working group.
Page 5 of 24
The designated representative shall have the authority to vote on fund spending priorities on
behalf of the organization they represent.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Potential Grant Opportunity — SRTC Preservation Call for Projects
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:
BACKGROUND: On February 10, 2023, Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC)
issued a call for projects that makes available $9.2 million of federal funding to SRTC member
agencies. Rural and small cities will be awarded a minimum of $1.3 million, leaving $7.9 million
available for Spokane Valley to compete for with other urban agencies.
Awarded funds will be available for obligation in 2024 through 2026. Funds are limited to
preservation treatments only, which include grind/inlay/overlay projects or surface treatment
projects such as chip seals or slurry seals. Project awards are capped at $1.5 million and each
agency is capped at $3 million of awarded funds. A minimum non-federal match of 13.5% is
required, but applicants can score additional points if additional match is provided. Applications
are due April 14, 2023.
After evaluating the program requirements, staff selected three projects that are expected to be
the most competitive for this call for projects. All three projects involve varying degrees of asphalt
grinding with a subsequent asphalt inlay and locations of full depth repair. Surface treatments
are not proposed. The table includes only grant -eligible project costs. It is expected that non -
grant -eligible project costs, such as traffic or stormwater upgrades, will likely be added to the
project, increasing the overall cost. These non -eligible costs would be covered by the appropriate
City fund. Projects in the table are prioritized, as required per the application.

OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Staff requests Council consensus that staff proceed
with finalizing all three projects and return in March with a motion consideration to apply for
funding for the three projects. Staff continues to refine the application estimates and a final cost
estimate and recommended local match amount will be provided in March.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The City will be responsible for any project costs beyond $1.5
million, as required per the call for projects. It is unlikely that the City would receive more than
one project award. Upon review with the Finance Dept., it has been identified that the City has
sufficient funds in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 to satisfy local match requirements if
awarded a combination of two projects. Also, if needed for work beyond grind and overlay, it has
been identified that the City has sufficient REET funding in Funds #301 and #302 to deliver
additional project elements such as traffic signal upgrades, and easement or right-of-way related
impacts. It is also expected that Fund #402 will have sufficient funds to cover any necessary
stormwater improvements as well.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Regional Homeless Entity update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative Report January 31, 2023; administrative
report February 7, 2023.
BACKGROUND:
As part of the City's ongoing discussions regarding its homelessness response, the City has had
a variety of discussions with the City of Spokane and Spokane County about the possibility of a
regional approach to addressing homelessness.
Recently, a volunteer group consisting of Gavin Cooley, former City of Spokane Chief Financial
Officer; Rick Romero, former City of Spokane Director of Strategic Planning; and Theresa
Sanders, former City of Spokane City Administrator, have been coordinating discussions
regarding the creation of a regional entity to address all aspects of homelessness with elected
officials and staff of the City of Spokane Valley, Spokane County Board of County Commissioners,
and the City of Spokane. The volunteer group has also been meeting with providers and members
of the business community. As identified in an article on January 13, 2023, they are working
towards establishing a work group consisting of elected officials and staff from each of the three
major municipalities to conduct a 90-day "due diligence" period to study how such an agency
might be organized and how it could be created.
The "due diligence" period was intended to commence on February 11, 2023 and run for 90 days.
The review work would be done by a group consisting of members from the City of Spokane
Valley, City of Spokane, and Spokane County (assuming each entity desires to participate).
Staff's current understanding is that the group would likely consist of two elected officials, a senior
administration staff member, and a subject -matter expert from each entity. Our understanding is
that the regional entity would be looking at a unified comprehensive approach focusing on all
aspects of homelessness and that the overall scope would be developed as part of the due
diligence process.
The work group would work through several aspects of what it would take to form a regional entity,
including (1) what type of entity might be appropriate (such as a public develop authority or joint
group formed by interlocal agreement), (2) development of draft authorization documents (such
as ordinances) and related enabling requirements, (3) identification of regional performance goals
with associated strategies, timelines, and outcomes, (4) framework for participation, centralized
coordination, and communication between stakeholders, (5) identification of possible funding
mechanisms and a system -wide funding plan aligning public, private, and other resources to meet
the regional performance goals, (6) recommendations regarding a centralized homeless
management information system (HMIS), and (7) development of a comprehensive system of
analytics, data assessment, and reporting.
The findings would then be presented to the participating entities for further discussion and
consideration after the 90-day period.

The volunteer group has also developed a draft joint statement. City Council provided comments
on February 7, 2023. Staff understands that the Board of County Commissioners and Spokane
City Council are considering the joint statement the week of February 13, 2023. Staff will provide
an update of their actions at the February 21 meeting. A copy of the joint statement that was
provided to the Board of County Commissioners and Spokane City Council is included in this
packet. Note that this draft incorporates City Council's comments from February 7.
Notably, the discussion of the creation of the regional entity coincides with the development of
the Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP). A preliminary draft of the City's plan has
been provided to numerous stakeholders for review and comment. The draft plan was provided
to City Council on February 7, 2023 . Participation in the 90-day "due diligence" process and any
further discussions regarding creation of a regional entity will not preclude ongoing development
of the City's plan. The development of the City's plan along with the outcomes and goals for
addressing homelessness will aid the City in participation (if the Council desires) and
consideration of creation of a regional entity. Further, our understanding is that even if a regional
entity were formed, it would not preclude the City from providing certain services or addressing
specific needs identified in the SVHAP. Given the extensive needs in the community for a variety
of services, there may be value in participating in ongoing discussions regarding creation of a
regional entity to see how it may align with the City Council's goals for addressing homelessness
in Spokane Valley.
On January 31, 2023, and February 7, 2023, staff provided updates on the regional entity
discussions. City Council agreed to defer consideration of the City's participation in the due
diligence process and the joint statement until February 21 to allow staff to provide further updated
information. Staff will provide updated information gathered between February 7 and February
21 as part of the discussion.
Staff are requesting discussion, consideration, and consensus from the City Council on whether
it desires to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence" process.
Staff are also requesting discussion, consideration, and consensus on whether City Council
desires to participate in the joint statement.
OPTIONS: There are two items for consideration:
(1) Consensus on whether to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence"
process to consider the possibility of forming of a regional entity to address homelessness;
(2) Consensus on whether to participate in the joint statement; or
Take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: There are two items for consideration:
(1) Consensus to participate in the work group as part of the 90-day "due diligence" process to
consider the possibility of creation of a regional entity to address homelessness.
(2) Consensus on whether to participate in the joint statement.

JOINT STATEMENT
Collaborating for our Community
Spokane regional elected leadership announces a 90-day due diligence period to evaluate options for a
regional and collaborative model to improve our collective focus on human services in our community
and their impact on homelessness
Our region's greatest strength is our ability to build community vitality through regional partnerships
and collaboration, and now is the time to utilize that strength to more effectively and collaboratively
address homelessness in our community. The Spokane region has a history of achieving big things when
responsibility and successful outcomes are shared.
Homelessness affects communities across the country, and Eastern Washington is no exception. One of
the biggest challenges communities face in addressing homelessness, is that much of the homeless
response system relies on many people and organizations working effectively across jurisdictions and
with a regional focus. Together, we can better coordinate our resources invested in public housing and
human services, to successfully and efficiently manage this crisis.
As elected leaders, we know this isn't a political issue, it is a people issue, and it affects all of us in the
Spokane region. We believe that working beyond political and jurisdictional boundaries may give us the
best chance to build and deliver strategic and impactful solutions for our entire community for years to
come.
About our Collaborative Effort
Developing an integrated strategy with shared responsibility is best achieved when all local elected
officials work collaboratively.
One initiative we will be assessing, modeled after successful campaigns in Houston and Atlanta, is an
effort to establish an independent authority tasked with making strategic, coordinated decisions and
investments, to achieve the best outcomes. The Spokane region is ready to work to establish our own
model, one that best fits our community's needs and desires.
We recognize that our many providers and other professionals throughout the homeless response
system have worked diligently for many years, but often without the regional planning and support
they've needed to achieve greater success. Such a collaborative effort could more effectively address
these needs by properly aligning the region around strategies, funding, and many other resources,
including the areas of health and services, public housing, and public safety.
Three community leaders, Gavin Cooley, Rick Romero, and Theresa Sanders have volunteered to help
organize and guide this effort. Each has a variety of business and public sector experience, and together
have worked on numerous successful regional collaborations.
The Next 90 Days
The first step towards developing a regional collaborative, is a 90-day due diligence period. During this
time, community leaders and many stakeholder groups will work together as quickly as possible to
identify how a regional and collaborative system could be created — a system that could be built on
shared vision, finances, data, and other resources. The due diligence period will focus on:
1. Reviewing potential legal structures for a regional effort, including pro/con evaluations, e.g.
Public Development Authority (PDA), nonprofit, and others
2. Reviewing potential governance models and best practices, including roles of jurisdictions,
elected leaders and community stakeholders in coordination and support of a regional effort
3. Review and discussion of initial funding, costs and other financial information envisioned for a
regional effort
4. Reviewing initial staffing for a regional effort
Gathering comprehensive regional stakeholder input will be key to our success. Many different
stakeholder groups, providers throughout the homeless response system, people with lived experience,
our local Continuum of Care Board, local, state, and federal government agencies their staff and
advisory boards, as well as businesses, and community members, will be encouraged to actively
participate in this process.
Throughout the due diligence period, there will be many avenues for community members to share
their input and perspectives with elected and other leaders, including public forums and a website.
Following the due diligence period, legislative bodies will evaluate the information developed and the
likelihood of success for a regional collaborative model, and give consideration as to whether and to
what degree to participate in the regional collaborative or other envisioned regional homelessness
efforts.
Together we can build a bright future for the Spokane region.
