AGENDA ITEM TITLE: First Reading of Proposed Ordinance 23-010 amending chapters 7.05 and
17.100 SVMC related to chronic nuisances.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 7.05 SVMC; chapter 17.100 SVMC; chapter 7.48 RCW; and
chapter 7.43 RCW.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of chapter 7.05 SVMC, relating to nuisances, in
2003; amended in 2005, 2006, 2008, 2012, 2017, 2018, and 2019. Chapter 17.100, which relates to
enforcement, was recodified in its entirety in 2016 and amended in 2018 and 2019. In December 2022,
staff presented key considerations and the framework of the City's existing chronic nuisance code as a form
of review. During this discussion,Council posed several questions on the possibility of updating the current
chronic nuisance provisions. Staff drafted a code text amendment implementing changes congruent with
Council's desire to enhance the chronic nuisance code. City Council heard an administrative report on the
proposed changes on April 25, 2023 and gave consensus for staff to come forward with an ordinance for
first reading.
BACKGROUND: In 2018, the City Council adopted chronic nuisance provisions under chapter 7.05
SVMC to address the rising number of nuisance properties associated with extensive criminal activity. The
City has altered and refined the nuisance provisions over the years to make them more effective or to address
new items as appropriate. Council heard an administrative report in December 2022 and requested staff to
look at possible amendments to further assist in addressing chronic nuisances within the City. Staff have
identified revisions to chapters 7.05 and 17.100 SVMC to address Council's desire to bolster the City's
ability to address chronic nuisances.
The proposed ordinance is a City-initiated code text amendment to broaden the scope of what constitutes a
chronic nuisance property and to abate chronic nuisance properties more efficiently. The proposed
ordinance more closely resembles those in neighboring jurisdictions and will provide staff with the
necessary tools to effectively abate more chronic nuisances.
The primary changes are as follows:
Tiered Approach. A tiered approach will consist of multiple options to qualify a property as a
chronic nuisance. These include:
• adding a second shorter time period option(three or more nuisance activities within a sixty-
day period);
• expanding the definition of "nuisance activities" to include general nuisances, not just
criminal activity;
• adding abandoned properties where nuisance activities exist to the definition of chronic
nuisance property; and
• adding a provision solely for drug properties, with a stricter violation to timeframe ratio
(two in twelve months).
Page 1 of 2
These changes will be made primarily through modifications to the definition of"chronic nuisance
property."and adding a definition for"nuisance activities." A notable change within the definition
of"ongoing criminal activity" is the removal of the blanket exemption for domestic violence.
Many other jurisdictions do not have exemptions and instead approach domestic violence related
activity, for the purpose of chronic nuisance determinations, on a case by case basis, taking into
account the totality of the circumstances.
Enforcement. The process for enforcement will remain largely the same. However, a provision
that a property owner or person in charge must contact the City within ten days from receipt of the
notice and order in order to enter into a VCA(voluntary compliance agreement)has been added to
allow the City to demonstrate the responsible person's desire (or lack of desire) to work on
addressing the nuisance activities and criminal activities.
Abatement. A receivership provision has been added, pursuant to chapter 7.60 RCW. This
provision allows the City,upon a determination by the Superior Court that a property is a chronic
nuisance,to close the property,board it up, and sell it through receivership so that the property can
be returned to beneficial use.This process eliminates the possibility of the property being inundated
with squatters and/or eventually returned to the persons responsible for the nuisance conditions in
the first place. A provision was added to SVMC 17.100.325 to allow receivership as a remedy for
chronic nuisances.
Detailed changes are shown in"redline"in the proposed ordinance, attached to this RCA.
OPTIONS: Move to advance Ordinance 23-010 to a second reading or take other action deemed
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to advance Ordinance 23-010 to a second reading at
a future Council meeting.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No direct impacts anticipated.
STAFF CONTACT: Erik Lamb, Deputy City Manager; Caitlin Prunty, Deputy City Attorney; Jenny
Nickerson,Building Official.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration — award of American Rescue Plan Act Funds for
Affordable Housing and Homeless Services proposals
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: 42 U.S.C. § 803; 31 C.F.R. Part 35.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Numerous City Council meetings from 2021 through 2023.
Of note,on May 31,2022, City Council gave consensus for the allocation of all City ARPA funds towards
various purposes. On April 11, 2023, Council heard presentations from those submitting proposals to the
affordable housing and homeless services RFP.
BACKGROUND:
On March 11, 2021, the President signed the American Rescue Plan Act ("ARPA") into law. ARPA
provided for a wide variety of funding for a variety of purposes, including direct assistance to small
businesses,for homeless and affordable housing purposes,and to state and local governments. Importantly
for the City,ARPA established the Coronavirus State and Local Fiscal Recovery Funds and allocated$350
billion to these accounts to assist state and local governments in meeting pandemic response needs and
rebuilding the economy. The City of Spokane Valley has received approximately $16 million from the
Coronavirus Local Fiscal Recovery Fund("CLFR").
Council has had several discussions regarding use of CLFR funds and has allocated all funding to various
recipients and categories of funding. Since May 31, 2021,there has been extensive work by City Council
and staff in getting CLFR funds obligated through contracts and expended. One of the categories of
allowable uses is to replace lost revenue as a result of the pandemic. The United States Treasury has
provided a formula and guidance on how to calculate lost revenue.Based on the formula,the City calculated
approximately $10.8 million of lost revenue. CLFR funds may be used for any governmental service to
replace lost revenue. On May 31, 2022, Council gave consensus to utilize approximately $10.8 million of
its CLFR funds for governmental services to replace lost revenue. The City has primarily used these funds
towards its ongoing law enforcement contract costs and has expended approximately $6.8 million to date
for"revenue replacement"purposes. As a result,the City has identified it will have a corresponding amount
of general fund revenue available for use by City Council towards other projects or community needs. The
City has utilized that available general fund revenue towards the Spokane Valley Partners property
acquisition project, the Spokane Performing Arts Center project, and the affordable housing/homeless
services and potential land acquisition categories.
Pursuant to City Council's approved allocation, the City released an RFP on January 10, 2023, seeking
proposals for affordable housing and/or homeless services. The City received 13 proposals from 12
proponents (one proponent provided two proposals). One of those applicants withdrew its application,
leaving a total of 12 proposals for City Council consideration from 11 proponents. City Council originally
allocated $5,998,535 towards affordable housing and homeless services and/or land acquisition for City
projects,but has determined to withhold$2,000,000 for potential land acquisition. This leaves$3,998,535
for allocation towards the 12 proposals.
On April 11, 2023, City Council heard presentations from the 11 proponents (note that while Community
Frameworks had two applications,they were for a different number of units as part of what is substantially
the same project and so will be presented together at the same time).
Page 1 of 3
The applicants,general description of project, and amount requested are as follows:
1. Community Frameworks: New low-income housing; two proposals —$2.9 million for 12 units or
$1.8 million for 8 units.
2. Word of Faith Christian Center: Down-payment assistance for low-income residents—$1 million.
3. The Salvation Army: Salvation Army Spokane Valley Bridge Shelter (approximately 45-
beds/units)—$1.2 million
4. Spokane Neighborhood Action Partners: Broadway Senior Housing (60-unit affordable senior
housing)—$2.3 million.
5. Career Path Services: Affordable housing for at-risk youth(age 18-30)—$3.4 million.
6. Reclaim Project Recovery: Four-part proposal (multi-purpose facility; 10-12 person shelter;
transitional sober living facility; thrift store/job creation)—$4 million.
7. Habitat for Humanity-Spokane: Land acquisition for permanently affordable housing — $1.6
million.
8. Filipino American NW Association:Homeless prevention program&creating new services within
Spokane Valley—$600,000.
9. Family Promise of Spokane:Fast-leasing and sustainable housing (FLASH)Program(establishing
fast leasing and sustainable housing program for families at risk of homelessness)—$1.1 million.
10. Volunteers of America of Eastern Wa&Northern Idaho: "Crosswalk 2.0"(Construction of 18 new
emergency shelter beds and 18 college dorm style living for young adults)—$500,000.
11. Freedom Consulting, LLC: Social services expansion and growth (including purchase of duplex
for transitional housing)—$875,000.
At the conclusion of the presentations, City Council was provided a worksheet to rank the proposals by
priority. Staff have compiled those rankings into a table with the top five ranked proposals. Staff have had
further discussions with some of the providers regarding their proposals and have provided an initial
recommendation on award amounts for City Council consideration and discussion.
The top five ranked proposals are (1) Family Promise; (2) VOA Crosswalk 2.0; (3) Reclaim; (4) SNAP
Broadway Senior Housing; and (5)Habitat for Humanity land acquisition. Family Promise has provided
updated information regarding their proposal. They have received confirmation of the recommendation
from the Spokane County Housing and Community Development Advisory Committee (HCDAC)to fund
the acquisition of a house in Spokane Valley and have identified a house that suits their needs. They are
currently in the due diligence phase of that acquisition. As part of that project,they will also be constructing
a paved area for staff and those receiving service. They estimate the cost for paving will be approximately
$75,000. Family Promise has also received a recommendation from the HCDAC for $750,000 for rental
assistance. Given that a portion of their original proposal included some rental assistance, they believe it
would be beneficial to modify any final award to allow for any City award to fund all or a portion of the
paving to allow them to fully utilize the site for their programs.
Reclaim has also identified that it could utilize any award for a multi-purpose approach to stand up a
significant program in Spokane Valley. They have identified that they could use $1.46 million on
acquisition of two houses for transitional housing, a significant amount on the down payment, and 18
months of mortgage payments for a "home base" facility located in Spokane Valley; and two years of
overhead and operational costs to help get everything up and running before being self-sustaining.
Staff have recommended fully funding Family Promise, VOA Crosswalk 2.0, and a portion of Reclaim to
allow the City to seed a significant portion of homeless services to address critical issues for families,youth,
and individuals experiencing homelessness. Staff also recommend funding a portion of the SNAP
Broadway Senior Housing and Habitat for Humanity proposals to seed and establish additional needed
affordable housing. These amounts will be meaningful while also spreading money to multiple providers.
Once awards are made,staff will negotiate the final scope of work and contracts for each proposal for City
Council approval.
Page 2 of 3
One other key note is that while not all proposals could be funded due to the overwhelming need and finite
amount of money,the City recognizes the value and necessity of all of the proposals. As the City continues
to develop its Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan,the City will continue to engage all of the respondents
to see how their services may fit within the needs of the City to provide assistance to those in need within
our community.
OPTIONS: Motion to approve awards to identified proposals in amounts identified by City Council; or
take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the proposals in substantially the form
submitted and as identified in the attached worksheet in the amounts as shown, and to authorize the City
Manager to negotiate and finalize contracts for such awards for City Council approval.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Approximately $16 million added to budget for eligible expenses.
City Council has allocated $3,998,535 for affordable housing and homeless services awards. Contracts
resulting from awards made through the RFP process will be on a reimbursement basis.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Admin Report: Draft Ordinance Relating to Controlled Substances
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Chapter 69.50 RCW; SVMC 8.20.050
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: N/A
BACKGROUND: In 2021, the Washington State Supreme Court ruled that the State's strict
liability drug possession statute was unconstitutional. The Washington State Legislature passed
a temporary fix making knowing possession of a controlled substance a crime punishable as a
simple misdemeanor. Enforcement was also subject to officers giving those knowingly possessing
drugs, notice of treatment options at least two times prior to arrest. Given the logistics of tracking,
this made effective enforcement extremely difficult. This temporary fix will no longer be in effect
on July 1, 2023. Due to the practical issues of the temporary fix and the effective end-date, the
Washington State Legislature was very active during the 2023 Legislative Session in debating
possible solutions and a new state-wide drug possession law. However, the Washington State
Legislature did not pass a bill this session, and a special session was called to address the issue.
Unless the Washington State Legislature passes a solution during the special session, drug
possession will effectively be legal in Washington. However, local agencies, including the City,
may adopt local codes to criminalize drug possession in such manner as they see fit. There are
some restrictions on local regulatory authority, including that the maximum penalty the City can
adopt is a gross misdemeanor. A gross misdemeanor carries a maximum of 364 days in jail and/or
a fine of up to $5,000. Cities cannot make drug possession a felony.
This ordinance addresses both possession and public use of controlled substances. The knowing
use of a controlled substance in a public place will be a gross misdemeanor punishable by 364
days in jail and/or a fine of$5,000. Further, the knowing possession of controlled substances will
be a gross misdemeanor punishable by 364 days in jail and/or a fine of$5,000. These will go into
effect beginning July 1, 2023, coinciding with the timeframe that the current state law sunsets.
There are some exceptions to the general rule prohibiting the possession of controlled substances
aligning with state law relating to cannabis, and lawful prescriptions. There is no requirement that
law enforcement refer violators to treatment prior to issuing citations or making arrests.
One question for City Council consideration is the desired penalty for illegal possession of
cannabis. Currently, it is a misdemeanor for those under 21 to possess cannabis. Also, it is a
misdemeanor to unlawfully and knowingly possess more cannabis and cannabis products than
the amounts allowed by state law. Other cities are treating cannabis possession in the same
manner. Given the legality of cannabis, the ordinance mirrors current state law for these crimes
as misdemeanors.
The City has been working with Spokane County through the development of this ordinance.
OPTIONS: Consensus to proceed to first ordinance reading; or take other action deemed
appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council consensus to place on a future agenda for an
ordinance first reading.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Admin Report— GSI D.C. Fly-In Recap
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: N/A
BACKGROUND:
This admin report provides a recap of the Greater Spokane Inc.'s (GSI) D.C. Fly-In advocacy trip
to Washington, D.C. The City of Spokane Valley's delegation included Councilmember Brandi
Peetz and Legislative Policy Coordinator Virginia Clough.
Greater Spokane, Inc. is a non-profit organization that advocates on behalf of the greater Spokane
region including the City of Spokane Valley to build the economy and help businesses thrive. The
D.C. Fly-In event took place April 25-28 and included 33 GSI members, their staff and lobbyists.
The primary goal of the trip was to advocate for items on GSI's federal agenda which includes
over 40 policy statements under the following topics:
• Healthcare and life sciences
• Trade and economic development
• Childcare and K-12 education
• Higher education
• Workforce
• Military and veteran affairs
• Broadband
• Transportation and infrastructure
• Energy
• Agribusiness.
Over two days and one evening, there were 16 meetings and an introductory reception scheduled.
The GSI delegation attended the following meetings:
1. Roundtable Discussion with Chiefs of Staff of Senators Cantwell and Murray and U.S.
Rep. McMorris Rodgers
2. Department of Education
3. Director of Federal Affairs for WA State Governor
4. U.S. Rep. Dan Newhouse (WA-4)
5. Senator Patty Murray
6. Senator Maria Cantwell
7. Colonel Alexander "Popeye" Fafinsk and other Air Force Officials
8. Discussion at the Finnish Embassy
9. Inland NW Reception and Discussion with U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-5)
10. Staff Director for U.S. Committee on Transportation and Infrastructure
11. U.S. Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers (WA-5)
12. U.S. Chamber Update
13. Connor Stubbs, Deputy Chief of Staff for U.S. Rep. Adam Smith (WA-9)
Page 1 of 2
14. U.S. Rep. Russ Fulcher (ID-1)
15. U.S. Department of Transportation including Staff from Federal Aviation Administration,
Federal Railroad Administration, Federal Highway Administration
Hot topics and common themes of discussion in the aforementioned meetings included:
• Legislation such as the Debt Ceiling Bill (raising statutory limit on national debt), Farm Bill
(agricultural, food and nutritional policy—expires 9/30/23), Federal Aviation Administration
(FAA) Reauthorization Bill (airline safety, flight delays, air traffic control modernization,
airport terminal renovations/expansions), and additional reform needed of Graduate
Medical Education (GME) Program (for increased slots/funding for primary care, family
medicine and mental health)
• Next steps in the appropriations process include subcommittee markups on proposed
legislation, and congressional hearings
• Implementation of federal programs such as the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act
including permitting reform, and the CHIPS and Science Act.
A meeting scheduled with U.S. Rep. Derek Kilmer (WA-6) was unfortunately cancelled. The City
of Spokane Valley's delegation met with the City's federal lobbying firm to discuss our federal
priorities in lieu of meetings with U.S. Rep. Adam Smith's staffmember (WA-9) and U.S. Rep.
Russ Fulcher (ID-1).
In conclusion,the D.C. Fly-In was a worthwhile opportunity to continue engagement with the City's
congressional delegation and federal agencies about issues that impact the Spokane Valley
community and the region.
The D.C. Fly-In was also beneficial in learning more about the status of current and emerging
federal legislation and establishing and strengthening connections with our congressional
delegation, federal agencies and regional partners at GSI.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Regional homeless collaboration update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Administrative Report January 31, 2023; administrative
report February 7, 2023; administrative report February 21, 2023; administrative report February
28, 2023; motion consideration for joint statement on March 21, 2023.
BACKGROUND: As part of the City's ongoing discussions regarding its homelessness response,
in the first quarter of 2023, the City Council voted to approve signing a joint statement considering
a regional approach to homelessness along with the City of Spokane and Spokane County. That
effort has been led by 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. As part of the joint statement, the
volunteer group and entities identified a 90-day "due diligence" period for elected officials and
staff of the local governmental entities to meet regularly and study how such a regional
collaborative approach might be organized and how it could work. This period was also intended
to allow the volunteer group to meet with the business community and stakeholders who provide
services and otherwise participate in the continuum of homeless services.
Mayor Haley, Councilmember Hattenburg, Deputy City Manager Lamb, and City Engineer Mantz
have been participating in bi-weekly regional homeless meetings. With the process now
approximately 2/3 complete, staff have asked Mr. Cooley, Mr. Romero, and Ms. Sanders to
provide an update of the process, including what has occurred and what is anticipated at the end
of the 90-day period.
Notably, the discussion of the creation of the regional entity coincides with the development of
the Spokane Valley Homeless Action Plan (SVHAP). Participation in the 90-day "due diligence"
process and any further discussions regarding creation of a regional entity has not precluded
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 consideration of the City's
role in a possible regional approach. 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.
OPTIONS: Discussion.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Discussion.

JOINT STATEMENT
March 3, 2023
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 efforts to address homelessness and its
impacts on our community.
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 housing and human
services,to successfully and efficiently address 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, 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 authority, 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 to optimize the address of homelessness and
its impacts on our community. 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. Review and discussion of initial funding,costs and other financial information in support of a
regional effort
3. Review and discussion of data collection and use in support of a regional effort
4. Reviewing potential governance models and best practices, including roles of jurisdictions,
elected leaders and community stakeholders in coordination and support of a regional effort
5. Review and discussion of initial staffing in support of a regional effort
6. Review and discussion of how the success of a regional effort can be regularly quantified and
evaluated
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 residents,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 authority model, and give consideration as to whether
and to what degree to participate in the regional authority or other envisioned regional homelessness
efforts.
Together we can build a bright future for the Spokane region.
Signed,
