This evenings meeting represents the third public hearing on the 2024 Budget and the purpose

2024 Budget Overview:
The 2024 Budget currently includes appropriations of $106,404,958 including $19,420,397 in
capital expenditures, comprised of:
o $8,875,775 in Fund #303 Street Capital Projects.
o $220,000 in Fund #309 Park Capital Projects.
o $3,500,000 in Fund #311 Pavement Preservation including $1,011,800 financed by the
General Fund.
o $3,152,622 in Fund #314 Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $2,500,000 in Stormwater Management Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund
#403 projects.
To partially offset the $19,420,397 in capital costs we anticipate $9,507,426 in grant revenues
which results in 48.96% of capital expenditures being covered with State and Federal money.
Budgets will be adopted across 29 separate funds.
The full-time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase in 2024 by 4 to 116.25 from
112.25 in the proposed amended 2023 Budget. The amended 2023 Budget approved May
30, 2023 included 111.25 FTEs. On July 25, 2023, Council authorized the addition of a new
Accountant I position in the 2023 Budget (supplemental budget request). The increase for
2024 are the remaining 2 of 7 Stormwater positions that were approved by Council when

Funding Challenges:
The economy continues to experience volatility. This is particularly seen with continued levels
of inflation that have driven up costs across the board. We expect this volatility to continue to
affect City revenues and costs as we go forward into 2024. As such, we anticipate there may
be changes to revenue projections as we progress through this 2024 Budget development
process.
Current revenues levels in the Street O&M Fund #101 are impacting our ability to deliver
historic levels of service. Fund #101 is dependent upon motor vehicle fuel tax revenues and
telephone utility tax revenues.
o Motor vehicle fuel taxes have increased slightly due to recent State legislation; however,
they are generally flat or declining in recent years due to improvements in vehicle fuel
mileage. Also, recent inflation in fuel prices may begin to change driving habits, which
could reduce future revenues.
o Telephone utility taxes have been declining at an average of 7.64% per year from 2009
through 2022. We believe the decline is primarily due to the elimination of land lines by
individual households as well as reallocation of revenues by cell phone companies to data
packages. The revenues from this tax reached a high of $3.1 million in 2009 (the year the
tax was implemented) and is currently estimated to generate $900,000 in 2024.
Funding pavement preservation and other transportation and infrastructure needs.
o
the needs of local access streets and arterials and to provide adequate funding to maintain
the pavement condition of both.
o Railroad grade separation projects (overpasses and underpasses) and other large street
to finance through existing sources of revenue. The City has been very successful in
securing funding for the Barker Rd. Grade Separation and Pines Rd. Grade Separation
projects; however, funding is still needed for other grade separation projects as well as
other large-scale transportation improvements within the City.
Establishing a Homeless and Housing program for the City and identifying dedicated funding
for this program.
OPTIONS: State law requires a public hearing on the final 2024 budget; and this is the third public
hearing on the 2024 budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: As the purpose of the public hearing is to gather input
from the public in regard to the 2024 Budget, no action is requested at this time.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This public hearing is the final step leading to Council
consideration of a second reading of the ordinance that will adopt the 2024 Budget.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading of proposed Ordinance #23-020 which amends the
2023 Budget.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget, State law
requires the Council to approve an ordinance that appropriates additional funds.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2023
Budget when it was amended on May 30, 2023. On October 17, 2023, an Administrative Report
was delivered to Council regarding the need for a budget amendment. On October 24, 2023, a
public hearing was held on this topic and Ordinance #23-020 was advanced to a second
reading.
BACKGROUND: Since the amendment of the 2023 Budget on May 30, 2023, a number of
events have transpired in the normal course of operations that necessitate a second 2023
Budget amendment.
There has been an increase in the expenditures in the Capital Reserve Fund #312 since the first
th
reading on October 24. This is due to adding the expenditure side of transfers from Fund #312
to the General Fund #001. The revenue side of the transfers was already included in the
General Fund.
The proposed amendments include:
#001 - General Fund
The total of both recurring and nonrecurring revenues reflects an increase of $9,858,000, which
is comprised of:
$3,560,000 increase in judgments and settlements for the Monsanto settlement that was

$314,990 decrease in the City Manager Department as the result of transferring payroll and
related costs to the new City Services Department.
$287,950 increase in outside legal service costs in the City Attorney Department. This
increase is related to a significant increase in complex land use issues requiring outside
expertise as well as the use of contracted City Attorney services throughout much of the
year.
$975,887 increase in the City Services Department. This includes $773,987 in payroll costs.
Payroll costs decreased in the City Manager, Engineering, and Economic Development
1
Departments as personnel were shifted from those departments to City Services. The
remaining balance relates to costs for the communications and housing and homeless
programs, some of which have been transferred from the Economic Development
Department.
$76,041 increase in the Finance Department, which are primarily related to increased
payroll costs for the new Accountant I position approved by Council on July 25, 2023, and
the conversion of one the Accountant/Budget Analysts to an Accounting and Finance
Program Manager at a higher grade. There is also an increase of $1,100 included for
supplies related to higher paper usage with the electronic grant application submission
process that was implemented in 2023.
$3,350 increase in the IT Department for a portion of new helpdesk ticketing software. The
total cost is $14,500 spread across several departments.
$4,460 increase in the Facilities Department for a portion of new helpdesk ticketing
software. The total cost is $14,500 spread across several departments.

remaining $145,400 are a result of transferring homeless and housing-related costs to the
new City Services Department.
$1,200,000 increase related estimated total costs for the repairs to City Hall during 2023.
$200,000 increase to adjust for the timing of the purchase of police vehicles in the General

$15,000 increase in computer hardware costs in order to increase storage space for record
retention purposes.

management software. The 2022 Budget originally included $1,000,000 for this purpose.
However, the timing of the project is spread over 2023 and into 2024. This amendment

City of Spokane Valley 2024 Budget
Council Budget Goals and Fiscal Policies
Council Budget Goals:
1.Public Safety:
Public safety is the CityÓs highest priority which begins with providing superior
police services to protect lives, property, and to maintain a safe and welcoming
community. The CityÓs law enforcement agreement with Spokane County shall be
carefully managed and improved as needed to maintain the levels of service
desired by the City Council. The City shall also strive to ensure that the Spokane
Valley Police Precinct is maintained and improved to meet the needs of our Police
Department.
In addition to providing robust police services, the City will prioritize all stages of
the criminal justice process to provide for the safety of our residents. This includes
the ongoing administration and examination of areas for improvement of critical
components of the public safety system, including booking, prosecution services,
court services, jail operations, and post-detention services.
2.Pavement Preservation:
Maintain and sustain a safe and resilient transportation infrastructure using cost
effective means and methods that consider the long-term needs of the network.
The City shall strive to provide sufficient funding to ensure the preservation of our
infrastructure.
3.Transportation and Infrastructure:
Strengthen and improve transportation infrastructure to safely connect the
community by incorporating new and innovative technologies to improve the
quality of life for all users while supporting a diverse and robust economy.
4.Economic Development:
Actively support our existing businesses and industries by identifying retention and
expansion opportunities to facilitate employment growth and a stable tax base.
Collaborate with local, state, and national partners to identify resources to support
the CityÓs economic development initiatives.
Grow local tourism through asset development and targeted destination marketing
to support hotels and retail establishments.
5.Homeless and Housing:
Develop a housing and homeless program that integrates the activities of service
providers to retain residents in housing, provide a path forward for those
experiencing homelessness, and support the creation of additional affordable
workforce housing units within the City.
6.Communications:
Increase community interactions, share information, and obtain feedback and
provide awareness on all the aspects that make Spokane Valley a great place to
live, work, and play.
1
Fiscal Policies:
The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are important for the long-range fiscal strength of
Spokane Valley. These policies set a framework that the City will follow to responsibly manage
resources and if necessary, the circumstances under which we will utilize reserves to sustain
operations during economic downturns.
Financial Management
The City will strive to:
1. Maintain basic service levels with minimal resources to achieve success.
2. Minimize personnel costs and overhead by continuing to contract for services when it makes
financial and operational sense to do so.
3. Work to incorporate the business plan process into the budget process.
4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities.
5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy.
o The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on
assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley carries an exceptionally low debt
burden and currently utilizes only 0.80% of its total debt capacity, and more importantly,
only 4.01% of non-voted bond capacity.
6. Strive to prioritize spending in the annual budget process and minimize the mid-year addition
of projects and appropriations.
Financial Objectives
The CityÓs financial objectives are:
1. Adopt a General Fund Budget with recurring revenues equal to, or greater than recurring
expenditures.
2. Maintain a minimum General Fund Ending Fund Balance of at least 50% of the recurring
expenditure budget. This is adequate to meet cash flow needs and is the equivalent of six
months of general fund operations.
3. Increase the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 to approximately 14% of the
General Fund or $8 million. The increase will be funded over a number of years to as to limit
the impact on City operations. Interest income will continue to accrue to support the growth of
this Fund over time.
4. If necessary, utilize a portion of the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 ($8 million)
to maintain ending fund balance minimum.
5. Commit to the strategy that the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund #121 will not be
reduced below $4.8 million (60% of $8 million) without City Council approval. If Council should
deem this necessary, the City will then first replenish Fund #121 to at least $4.8 million before
any annual General Fund transfers are made to Capital Reserve Fund #312.
6. Maintain the 2024 property tax assessment at a level to support ongoing City operations. For
the 2024 levy, we anticipate this will result in a levy of $13,524,900 plus estimated new
construction of $350,000 for a total levy of $13,874,900. Any allowable potential increase not
taken will be banked for future use as provided by law.
7. Grow our economy so the existing tax base can support basic programs.

City ManagerÓs Budget Message
2024 Annual Budget
Dear Citizens, Mayor and City Council of Spokane Valley:
IÓm honored to be presenting the 2024 annual budget twentieth anniversary message. The 2024
Budget continues to follow the sound financial path that was collectively developed by current and
previous City Councils and the three past City Managers. This has been another challenging year
of record inflation, continued increased energy and food prices, ongoing world conflicts, and
uncertainty about where the economy is headed. However, the City has a long history of making
prudent financial decisions dating back to our 2003 incorporation. We have engaged in
consistently responsible budgeting including realistic revenue projections, controlled spending,
limited the growth of City programs, and have adhered to key conservative fiscal policies. We are
delivering a budget that will allow the City to continue to deliver status quo levels of service
throughout 2024 while at the same time financing our aggressive capital improvement program.
2024 Budget Highlights
City Priorities
The CityÓs chief budget priorities are:
Public Safety
Pavement Preservation
Transportation and Infrastructure (including railroad grade separations and park related
projects), and
Economic Development
Housing and Homeless response
Communications
Ensuring that weÓve committed adequate resources to these services accounts for much of the
effort that Council and Staff collectively dedicate to the annual development of our Operating and
Capital budgets.
Moderate Growth in Recurring General Fund Expenditures
Investing in the essential core services identified by the Council and Community is the foundation
of the programs and related expenditures we include in this budget. Similar to the trend
experienced in most jurisdictions, we find that the cost of providing these services often increases
at a faster rate than the moderate growth we see in the underlying tax revenues that support these
core services. With that said however, City staff and Council collectively strive to meet the
challenge of continuing to provide historic levels of service and we will again meet this challenge
in 2024. The revenue and expenditure figures included in the 2024 Budget are each considerably
higher than in previous years and this is a reflection of the impact of inflation being seen at a
national level.

2017compared to20164.38%0.87%
2016compared to20153.08%2.79%
Public Safety Costs
Over the years Council has consistently committed to the maintenance and at times enhancement
of public safety service levels and this is again reflected in the 2024 Budget. Public safety costs
including law enforcement, courts, prosecution, public defense and jail related services represent
the CityÓs primary operating expenditure and total $35,251,248 which is a 7.56% increase over
the 2023 Amended Budget. Noteworthy about the public safety budget are the following
observations:
It represents 60.8% of the 2024 General Fund recurring expenditure budget ($35,251,248 /
$57,976,579).
It is equivalent to 255% of anticipated 2024 property tax collections ($35,251,248 /
$13,824,900). In other words, if property taxes were to double, they alone would not be
sufficient to cover Spokane ValleyÓs public safety commitment.
In 2023, the City initiated a review of the Police Department staffing needs. Although the
contract with the SheriffÓs Department has been maintained and adjusted for increased
costs throughout the term of the agreement, the City has not substantially increased the
number of police staff since 2007. Population growth has increased from 87,894 to
107,400 residents in this timeframe. The City will need to make adjustments to staffing to
increase the levels of service to ensure that the City continues to be a safe and thriving
community.
Staffing Levels
The full-time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase by 4.00 from 112.25 in 2023 to 116.25
in 2024. This includes:
2.0 FTEs for two Stormwater positions related to increasing the CityÓs Stormwater program to
a proactive level of service.
2.0 FTEs in Parks and Recreation that are related to the anticipated split of the parks
maintenance contract into multiple contracts. This includes one Park Operations and
Maintenance Coordinator position and one Maintenance Worker position.

The FTE count allocated among City funds is as follows:

The personnel costs for the 83.87 FTEs charged to the General Fund represent just 21.79% of
recurring expenditures.
Taking into consideration that we contract for police services and are served by Fire and Water
Districts as well as a Library District, for a city of our size we operate substantially below the
normal employee count and consequently at a significantly reduced payroll cost relative to many
cities across the country. Spokane Valley staff levels average about one employee for every 924
citizens (= population of 107,400 per the Office of Financial Management population estimate /
116.25 FTEs) while comparably sized cities in the State of Washington have a much higher ratio
of employees to citizens.
Since incorporation, the City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff and continues
to have the lowest per capita employee count of any Washington city with a population of 50,000
or greater. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley continues to be a lean, productive City
government.
Pavement Preservation
Some may question paving roads that ÐdonÓt look so badÑ but the truth is the best time to repave
is before a road deteriorates to the point that full reconstruction is necessary. Full reconstruction
costs substantially more than pavement preservation treatments such as crack sealing or grinding
and repaving and this is why the City has committed critical financial resources to the preservation
of our transportation infrastructure. WeÓre proud of our fine road system and will endeavor to
continue to maintain it in the best manner possible with available financial resources.
Beginning in 2012, the City initiated a program of expending general fund, special revenue fund
and capital project fund revenues and reserves for the purpose of financing our street preservation
efforts. In 2024, our community will again see an aggressive program of caring for roadways
including the continuation of a pilot surface treatment program that would be new to Spokane
Valley.
For 2024, we project total revenues in Pavement Preservation Fund #311 of $3,362,600 that
combined with $187,400 of fund reserves will be applied against $3,550,000 in projected
expenditures. Sources of revenue in 2024 are anticipated to include $3,362,600 in transfers from
other City funds consisting of:
5
$1,021,900 from the General Fund
$1,170,350 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
$1,170,350 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
While Pavement Preservation is one of our critical service and budget priorities, we are not
sustaining adequate levels of funding for this program. This is discussed further in the
ÐChallengesÑ portion of this budget message.
Transportation and Infrastructure
The 2024 Budget includes $19,420,397 of capital expenditures that we anticipate will be in-part
offset with $9,507,426 in grant revenues which results in 48.96% of capital projects being financed
with State and Federal dollars. The capital expenditures weÓll incur in 2024 partially include:
$223,500 from the General Fund:
o $167,500 for Information Technology equipment acquisitions.
o $36,000 for a Utility Task Vehicle (UTV) for the Police Department.
o $20,000 for an electric manlift for Facilities.
$225,000 for capital equipment replacements in Street Fund #101.
$33,500 for broadcast equipment from PEG Fund #107.
$8.9 million in Street Capital Projects Fund #303.
$220,000 in Park Capital Projects Fund #309.
$3.5 million in Pavement Preservation Fund #311.
$3.2 million in Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund #314.
$2.5 million in Stormwater Fund #402 and Aquifer Protection Area Fund #403.
$690,000 from Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund #501 that includes
o $60,000 for the replacement of a vehicle in Parks and Recreation,
o $60,000 for the replacement of a vehicle in Facilities,
o $300,000 for the replacement of an existing snowplow, and
o $270,000 for the replacement of the backhoe.
Challenges
Beyond the annual challenge of balancing the General Fund budget, the City of Spokane Valley
has several on-going financial challenges.
1. Dramatic inflation increases in 2022 and 2023 have been experienced across all sectors of
the economy. Coupling this with the eleven interest rate adjustments by the Federal Reserve,
concerns abound regarding a national recession. The City is highly dependent on sales tax
revenues which are subject to dramatic fluctuations as experienced in the Great Recession.
This dependence will cause significant reductions in levels of service once a downturn affects
our sales tax collections.
2. Declining revenues in Street O&M Fund #101 that will impact our future ability to deliver
historic service levels
This Fund depends upon a combination of gas and telephone tax receipts.
Gas Tax - Because this tax is a fixed amount per gallon, and because each generation of
newer vehicles get better gas mileage, we have found that from year to year, this revenue
source has hovered somewhere between flat or slightly declining. The gas tax revenues
over the past 5-years is as follows:
o 2020 - $1,745,193
o 2021 - $1,909,947
6
o 2022 - $1,959,667
o 2023 - $2,071,300 (budgeted)
o 2024 - $1,958,900 (budgeted)
Telephone Utility Tax Î This 6% tax generated $3,050,000 in the first year of collections
which occurred in 2009. In the ensuing 10-years running from 2010 to 2019, as people
made the shift from utilizing both land lines and cell phones to just cell phones, this
revenue source declined by nearly 50% to just $1,564,152. This decay in revenues was
further exacerbated in 2020 and continued into 2021 with the advent and fallout of the
COVID-19 pandemic event where people were looking to cut costs and consequently cut
many of the remaining land lines at an increased rate. However, through 2022 and into
2023, these revenues appear to be stabilizing. At this point weÓre projecting 2024
telephone utility tax revenues of about $900,000 which is about 70% less than 2009
collections.
Because of the stagnant gas tax revenues and decline in telephone utility tax revenues,
2024 will be the eighth consecutive year of budgeted recurring expenditures exceeding
recurring revenues in Fund #101.
o We have been able to continue to deliver historic levels of service over this period by
doing the following:
2017 Î a $328,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
2018 Î a $415,000 operating deficit was resolved by drawing down fund reserves.
2019 Î a $907,000 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from Capital
Reserve Fund #312. This is a noteworthy departure from the historic intended use
of these monies which has been for one-time capital projects.
2020 Î a $1,365,000 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from Capital
Project Fund #312.
2021 Î a $2,552,600 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from the
General Fund #001.
2022 Î a $3,084,900 operating deficit was resolved through a transfer from the
General Fund #001.
2023 Î an anticipated operating deficit of $3,530,000 will be resolved through a
direct transfer from the General Fund #001.
2024 Î an anticipated operating deficit of $4,592,900 will be resolved through a
direct transfer from the General Fund #001.
3. Balancing the cost of pavement preservation against other transportation and infrastructure
needs
Pavement preservation has historically been financed from a combination of sources
including:
o General Fund dollars,
o Street O&M Fund dollars,
o Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 (Fund #123) reserves that were dedicated
towards this purpose until their depletion in 2016.
o Real estate excise tax (REET) revenues,
o Grant revenues, and
o Beginning in 2018, the addition of a street wear fee that was negotiated by the City as
part of an updated solid waste collection contract that recognized the damage that
heavily laden garbage trucks do to our road system.
7
o Following is a table that reflects pavement preservation related revenues over the 14-

The City used Civic Facility Replacement Fund #123 reserves over the 4-year period 2013
through 2016 in order to give the City time to determine how best to finance the pavement
preservation plan in 2017 and beyond.
In the years leading up to 2020 we existed in a fairly robust economy and beginning in
2017, following the depletion of Fund #123 reserves, we began applying a portion of our
strong Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) collections towards pavement preservation. During
this time frame we recognized that when the economy inevitably waned in the future, so
too would REET revenues, and a consequence of over reliance on that source of money
could in the future limit the CityÓs ability to provide the necessary match needed for State
and Federal grants that are applied to other street construction and reconstruction
projects.
For a number of years Spokane Valley struggled to develop a pavement management
plan that clearly delineated the pavement condition index (PCI) that should be maintained
throughout our road system and define the amount of money we should dedicate annually
to achieve that plan.
The results of one of our most recent studies was communicated to Council on April
2, 2019 and this answered several questions including how pavement management
resources should be allocated between the local access, collector and arterial portions
of our street network. Through 2022 and 2023, City Council and staff have begun
implementing improvements to our program:
1. Create a 2023 open-order pavement preservation contract specifically for
local access streets funded by a street wear fee from the CityÓs solid waste
collection contract, including the potential use of surface treatments. This
was implemented during the summer of 2023 and worked well to repave
neighborhood streets in the southern portion of the City.
2. The 2023 surface treatment pilot project was implemented and potential
expansion projects for 2024 are being evaluated.
8
3. New revenue methods to sustain the PMP, including Street O&M Fund 101,
Street Capital Projects Fund #303 and Pavement Preservation Fund #311
were looked at and the Transportation Benefit District (TBD) was the
preferred option to implement. The City is moving forward on the adoption
of a TBD and will determine funding options after creation of the district.
4. Railroad Grade Separation Projects (overpasses and underpasses)
Bridging the Valley is a proposal to separate vehicle traffic from train traffic in the 42-mile
corridor between Spokane and Athol, ID. The separation of railroad and roadway grades in
this corridor is intended to promote future economic growth, traffic movement, traffic safety,
aquifer protection in the event of an oil spill, and train whistle noise abatement. The underlying
study outlined the need for a grade separation at four locations in Spokane Valley.
Barker and Trent Road Overpass (fully funded at $24.7 million),
Pines and Trent Underpass (estimated cost of $43.0 million and fully funded),
Sullivan/Trent Interchange Project (estimated cost of $42.2 million)
Because grade separation projects are exceptionally expensive endeavors and largely
beyond our ability to finance solely through existing sources of internal revenue, the City has
pursued grant funding from both the Federal and State Governments over the past several
years and will continue to do so into the future.
Barker/Trent Grade Separation Project
Construction on the project began in the spring of 2021 and concluded in the spring of 2023.
The project was well received and is functioning well.
Pines / Trent Grade Separation Project
The project is nearing the completion of the design phase having attained environmental
approval mid-2022. We anticipate the project cost will be $43.0 million. The City successfully
applied for a federal Rebuilding American Infrastructure with Sustainability and Equity
(RAISE) grant and was awarded $21.7 million. The project has received sufficient federal
funds and the City secured the required matching state funds to initiate the construction
phase of the project. Construction is anticipated to begin in early 2024.
Sullivan/Trent Interchange Replacement
This project replaces the undersized existing grade separated interchange at the intersection
of Sullivan Road and Trent Avenue with a new innovative roundabout configuration. The
project is entering the design phase which is fully funded. The City is actively pursuing options
for funding the construction phase of the project.
Economic Development
To the best of our ability we focus on business retention and expansion of existing businesses
and recruitment of new businesses. Examples of economic development efforts include:
Comprehensive Plan Î In the latter part of 2016 the City updated its Comprehensive Plan and
included an economic development element. Contained within this element is a summary of the
local economy; an assessment of strengths and weaknesses; and policies, programs and projects
to foster economic growth. The plan also included implementation strategies to improve retail,
enhance tourism, and grow businesses in the City. Among other things, the plan also streamlined
land uses by consolidating many zones and reducing many development requirements.
9
Additionally the plan was also designed to provide flexibility in an effort to encourage market
driven growth.
Retail Recruitment Î In 2017 the City expanded into the area of Retail Recruitment by contracting
with a firm specializing in this type of service. The services we are seeking in this effort include
a review of the retail recruitment strategy; conducting a market and retail gap analysis;
development of a recruitment plan; identification of a strategic retail prospect list; and recruitment
of retail on behalf of the City. We have again included money in the 2024 Budget to continue this
effort.
Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) Î In the latter part of 2016 the City received a $114,200 grant
from the Department of Commerce that with an additional investment of $55,000 from the City,
resulted in a streamlined environmental permitting process in the northeast industrial area of our
community. This study completed the environmental permitting requirements for the northeast
industrial area which led to the development of a Planned Action Ordinance (PAO) adopted by
Council March 12, 2019. The PAO saves industrial developers a minimum of 6 weeks permitting
time while providing a predictable path to ensure that adequate infrastructure is in place to serve
the expected developments, and as a result of the PAO, properties can now be marketed as truly
Ðshovel readyÑ. Since adoption of the PAO, nearly all of the total available 459 acres have been
purchased and are in various stages of planning, construction, or are occupied with vibrant
additions to our local economy.
Northeast Industrial Area Î In addition to the adoption of the Planned Action Ordinance the City
has engaged in a number of capital projects in our Northeast Industrial Area that resulted in the
expansion and improvement of our infrastructure and have the dual benefit of improving our road
system and making the area more attractive for future economic development. These include:
In 2019 we rebuilt Barker Road from Euclid Avenue to the southern limits of the Barker Grade
Separation project including the extension of sewer service by Spokane County.
In partnership with Centennial Properties, in 2020 we completed a project that began in 2019
that resulted in the construction of a new one-mile section of Garland Avenue that stretches
from Flora to Barker. This new stretch of road made 150 additional acres of industrial property
accessible to development.
The City will be completing the remaining work to widen Barker Road at Euclid Avenue and
installing the final segment of the shared use path on the east side of the roadway.
Housing and Homeless Services Î The City investigated many options for increasing housing
supply among all affordability levels over the past several years. Staff has engaged several
affordable housing agencies and developers to locate suitable properties for these projects. This
has been challenging since large (10+ acres) of undeveloped land is not readily available. The
City is working on redevelopment ideas while also studying the possibility of annexing additional
areas to provide room for this necessary growth. Target areas for potential redevelopment have
also been identified and are being evaluated for investment with the remaining American Rescue
Plan funds awarded in 2021.
Homeless services remain a challenge as well. The City will be adopting its first Homeless Action
Plan and has worked diligently with regional partners in evaluating the creation of a singular entity
to manage and provide homeless services. In 2022, the City initiated outreach services for
unsheltered individuals. While this has been successful, the City realizes that additional resources
are needed to provide these individuals with connections to available services. In addition, new
regional services are needed to better accommodate the individuals and families in need in our
community.
10
The Budget for 2024
Strong but Guarded
Recognizing that fiscal health is at the core of providing good public services, one of the most
important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to maintain basic
services during an economic downturn. The creation and ongoing maintenance of financial
reserves since incorporation has served the intended purpose of providing Spokane Valley the
means to sustain critical public services during turbulent economic conditions including those
experienced during the Great Recession that began in 2008, the COVID-19 Pandemic, and the
turbulent economic times that we are currently experiencing. The 2024 Budget again reflects a
prudent and guarded continuation of service delivery capabilities.
We will in the future, as we have in the past, continue to remain vigilant in our observance of local,
state and national events and economic trends that may impact our own community and work
towards capitalizing on our strengths, minimizing our weaknesses, and being ever watchful
towards both threats and opportunities.
Balanced Budget
Means exactly what it says Î recurring General Fund operating expenses and the programs they
support have been balanced with known or reasonably predictable recurring revenues with a
minimal increase in property tax and no increase in sales tax rates for the City. The budget is
designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year-end which provide for the CityÓs
cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention is
given to limiting the growth in new programs and financial commitments. This approach allows
available resources to be put toward sustaining services consistent with the City CouncilÓs
priorities for 2024 and beyond.
Acknowledgments
I would like to acknowledge the Community, City Council and Staff for a long history of financially
responsible spending and sensible fiscal planning. By saving and conserving the taxpayersÓ
money and by adopting and adhering to prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City will continue to
provide levels of service in 2024 on par with those weÓve provided in past years.
The City Council continues to set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City.
The management staff and employees have worked together to develop the 2024 Budget
recommendations to achieve the CouncilÓs ongoing goal of sustainability.
I hope the Citizens of Spokane Valley are proud of the programs and strong financial condition of
their City.
Respectfully,
John Hohman
City Manager

FINANCE DEPARTMENT
Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
10210 E Sprague Avenue Spokane Valley WA 99206
Phone: (509) 720-5000 Fax: (509) 720-5075 www.spokanevalley.org
TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council
FROM: Chelsie Taylor, Finance Director
SUBJECT: About the 2024 Budget and Budget Development Process
The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds.
Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and
community. As a result, the City Council, staff, and public are involved in establishing the budget
for the City of Spokane Valley.
The budget serves four functions:
1. It is a Policy Document
The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect
the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future. As a policy document,
the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-
day activities of the City staff.
2. It is an Operational Guide
The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have
been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help
to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each
other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council.
3. It is a Link with the General Public
The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations.
The budget describes the activities of the City, the reason or cause for those activities, future
implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry.
4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool
The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light,
preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of
the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and
must be in place prior to the beginning of the CityÓs fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority
to expend public monies and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the
appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash
carry-forward, to indicate funds available. The budget considers unforeseen contingencies and
provides for the need for periodic adjustments.
2024 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS
Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of
government that the current yearÓs budget was indicative of the base required for the following
year. However, with the volatility that was seen in the economy with the Great Recession and
again with the COVID-19 pandemic and subsequent inflation, the City moved to a Budget
development process that consciously reviews service levels in each department and determines
the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to available resources.
13
At the end of March 2023, the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2024
revenue and expenditure estimates were due by mid-May. Throughout the summer, the City
ManagerÓs office and Finance Department worked to prepare budget worksheets that were
communicated to the City Council at a Budget workshop held June 13, 2023. Following the
workshop, the Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of
revenue and expenditure estimates and through September, the Finance Department and City
Manager reviewed updated budget projections.
By the time the 2024 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 21, 2023, the Council will
have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings
to gather input from citizens:
June 13 Council budget workshop
August 29 Admin report: Estimated 2024 revenues and expenditures
September 12 Public hearing #1 on 2024 revenues and expenditures
October 3 City ManagerÓs presentation of preliminary 2024 Budget
October 10 Public hearing #2 on 2024 Budget
October 24 First reading on ordinance adopting the 2024 Budget
November 21 Public hearing #3 on the 2024 Budget
November 21 Second reading on ordinance adopting the 2024 Budget
Once adopted, the final operating budget is published, distributed, and made available to the
public.
After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage.
Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department
directors to ensure that actual expenditures are in compliance with the approved budget. The
Finance Department provides the City Manager and City Council with monthly reports to keep
them abreast of the CityÓs financial condition and individual department compliance with approved
appropriation levels. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council
ordinance following a public hearing.
The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any
revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized
employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the
City Council.
When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease
the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding
one public hearing.
BUDGET PRINCIPLES
Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with
City Council and City Manager priority direction, and for implementing them once they are
approved.
The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and
administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State
of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices.
14
The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating
solutions and alternatives, and implementing any necessary corrective actions.
Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services.
Budget amendments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process
at the fund level prior to fiscal year end.
The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a
Council/constituent friendly format.
No long-term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt.
Long-term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only.
The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to
replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required
contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in
difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years.
The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 50% of recurring
expenditures. This figure is based upon an evaluation of both cash flow and operating needs.
BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING
Accounting
Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the
State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20,
and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental
Accounting Standards Board.
Basis of Presentation - Fund Accounting
The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds, each of which is
considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double-
entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or
expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual
funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of
Spokane Valley:
Governmental Fund Types
Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local
government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial
flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities
are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds
measure changes in financial position, rather than net income. They present increases (revenues
and other financing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other financing uses) in net current
assets.
15
There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley:
1. General Fund
This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial
resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund.
2. Special Revenue Funds
These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular
activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include:
#101 Î Street Fund
#103 Î Paths & Trails Fund
#104 Î Hotel / Motel Tax Î Tourism Facilities Fund
#105 Î Hotel / Motel Tax Fund
#106 Î Solid Waste Fund
#107 Î PEG Fund
#108 Î Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund
#109 Î Tourism Promotion Area Fund
#110 Î Homeless Housing Program Fund
#120 Î CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund
#121 Î Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund
#122 Î Winter Weather Reserve Fund
3. Debt Service Funds
These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt.
Debt Service Funds are comprised of the #204 Î LTGO Debt Service Fund.
4. Capital Project Funds
These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or
construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include:
#301 Î REET 1 Capital Projects Fund
#302 Î REET 2 Capital Projects Fund
#303 Î Streets Capital Projects Fund
#309 Î Parks Capital Projects Fund
#310 Î Civic Facilities Capital Projects Fund
#311 Î Pavement Preservation Fund
#312 Î Capital Reserve Fund
#314 Î Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund
#315 Î Transportation Impact Fees Fund
#316 Î Economic Development Capital Projects Fund
Proprietary Fund Types
A second type of fund classification is the proprietary funds that are used to account for
activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is
to finance the full cost of providing services based on the commercial model which uses a
flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the
proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both
current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their
reported fund equity (total net position) is segregated into restricted, unrestricted, and invested
in capital assets classifications.
16
As described below, there are two generic fund types in this category:
1. Enterprise Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public
and are supported primarily by user charges. This type of fund includes:
#402 Î Stormwater Management Fund
#403 Î Aquifer Protection Area Fund
2. Internal Service Funds
These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments
or funds of the City. This type of fund includes:
#501 Î Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund
#502 Î Risk Management Fund
Fiduciary Fund Types
A third type of fund classification is the fiduciary funds that are used to account for activities
conducted for the benefit of those outside the City. Fiduciary funds have the same
measurement focus and basis of accounting as proprietary funds. Under this approach, the
operating statements for the fiduciary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues
and expenses) and both current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related
balance sheets. Net position is always classified as restricted. The City uses one fund type in
this category:
1. Custodial Funds
These funds account for the fees and taxes collected by the City on behalf of other
governments, such as Washington State and Spokane County. Custodial Funds are
comprised of #632 Î Passthrough Fees and Taxes Fund.
Basis of Accounting
Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized, recorded in
the accounting system and ultimately reported in the financial statements.
Modified Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for all governmental funds. Modified accrual
recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance
expenditures of the current period.
Accrual Basis of Accounting is used for enterprise, internal service, and fiduciary funds.
Under this system revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather
than when cash is either received or disbursed.
Budgets and Budgetary Accounting
Annual appropriation budgets are adopted for all funds with Governmental Funds utilizing a
modified cash basis of accounting for budget purposes and Proprietary and Fiduciary Funds
utilizing a working capital approach.
Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures, and
annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the end of the fiscal period.

EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES
General Fund #001
Property Tax
Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits
the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of up to
$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting up to $0.50 for
the Library District, which leaves the City with the authority to levy up to $1.60 for its own
purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the
levy year.
Retail Sales and Use Tax
The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane
Valley is 8.9%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor
to the Washington Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various
agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the 8.9% tax rate to the agencies is as
follows:
State of Washington6.50%
City of Spokane Valley0.85%
Spokane County0.15%
Criminal Justice0.10%
Spokane Public Facilities District0.10%*
Public Safety0.10%*2.30% local tax
Juvenile Jail0.10%*
Mental Health0.10%*
Law Enforcement Communications0.10%*
Spokane Transit Authority0.80%*
8.90%
* Indicates voter approved sales taxes.
Criminal Justice Sales Tax
Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes,
such as the CityÓs law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail sales
transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the
receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County
and cities within the County.
Public Safety Sales Tax
Beginning in 2005, an additional 0.1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to
public safety purposes. This 0.1% was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the
total amount collected, the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the
remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.
18
Gambling Tax
Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to
gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may
be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the
City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a tax on
the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); Raffles
(5% gross, less prizes); Punchboards and Pull tabs (5% gross, less prizes); Amusement
Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (6% gross).
Leasehold Excise Tax
Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties (CityÓs
share).
Franchise Fees
Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5% of gross revenues. This
is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets, alleys, and other public
properties.
State-Shared Revenues
State-shared revenues are received from liquor sales, marijuana revenues, and motor vehicle
excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local
governments based on population. State-shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly
or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the
quarter. The 2023 population figure used in the 2024 Budget is 107,400 as reported by the
Office of Financial Management (OFM) for Washington State on April 1, 2023. This figure is
important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis.
Fines and Forfeitures / Public Safety
Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings, false alarm fees, and
other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State,
with the City, on average, retaining less than 50% of the amount collected.
Community Development
Community Development revenues are largely composed of fees for building permits, plan
reviews, and right-of-way permits.
Recreation Program Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These
fees offset direct costs related to providing the program.
CenterPlace Fees
The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include
regional meetings, weddings, receptions, and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms,
the great room and dining rooms.
19
Investment Interest
The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior
to the distribution of the taxes to the City, as well as on City initiated investments.
Street Fund #101
Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax (gas tax)
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of
this amount, the State remits a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2024
the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the distribution back to cities will be
$18.24 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 107,400 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2023) we anticipate the City will
collect $1,958,900 in 2024. RCW 47.30.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended
for paths and trails activities and based upon the 2024 revenue estimate, this compute to
$8,200. The balance of $1,950,700 will be credited to Fund #101 for street maintenance and
operations.
Telephone Utility Tax
The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with
collections beginning in 2009. Telephone companies providing this service pay the tax to the
City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at $900,000 for 2024.
Paths & Trails Fund #103
Cities are required to spend 0.42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails (please
see the explanation for Street Fund #101) which we anticipate will be $8,200 in 2024. Because
the amount collected in any given year is relatively small, it is typical to accumulate State
distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project.
Hotel / Motel Tax Î Tourism Facilities Fund #104
The City imposes a 1.3% tax under RCW 67.28.181 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The revenues generated by this tax may only be
used for capital expenditures for acquiring, constructing, making improvements to or other related
capital expenditures for large sporting venues, or venues for tourism-related facilities. This tax is
estimated to generate $600,000 in 2024.
Hotel / Motel Tax Fund #105
The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of
lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks)
for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5%
state sales tax, so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax
combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax
may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of
tourism-related facilities. This tax is estimated to generate $900,000 in 2024.
Solid Waste Fund #106
Under the City's contract for solid waste transfer, transport and disposal services with Sunshine
Recyclers, Inc., Sunshine pays an annual contract administrative fee of $125,000 to the City. Also,
under the CityÓs contract for solid waste collection services with Waste Management of
20
Washington, Inc., Waste Management pays an administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts. This
fee shall be used by the City for costs related to solid waste services, including costs for contract
administration, solid waste planning and management, and for a portion of the CityÓs Street
preservation and maintenance programs. Of the amounts collected under the fee, no more than
1% of gross receipts may be used for contract administration while the remainder is recorded in
the Street Fund #101 for use on pavement management on local streets.
PEG Fund #107
Under the City's cable franchise, the franchise grantee remits to the City in a capital contribution
in support of Public Education Government (PEG) capital requirements, an amount equal to $0.35
per subscriber per month to be paid to the City on a quarterly basis for the life of the franchise.
Capital contributions collected under this agreement are allocated to PEG capital uses
exclusively. PEG capital uses include, in part, the set-up of equipment in the City Council
Chambers that allows Spokane Valley to broadcast Council meetings both live and through
subsequent reviews via digital recordings available on the City's website.
Affordable and Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #108
In the year 2020, the Council authorized the City to collect the affordable and supportive sales
tax, which is a rebate of the State sales tax to cities and counties. The amount received by the
City is up to 0.0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City capped at the 2019 fiscal year
taxable retail sales. The department of Revenue has estimated this capped distribution to be
$200,000 for the City. The City will receive these revenues for 20 years, and the revenues may
only be used to support affordable housing within the City or for rental assistance as outlined in
RCW 82.14.540.
Tourism Promotion Area Fund #109
In the year 2022, a qualified lodging businesses (40 or more lodging units) within the City of
Spokane Valley submitted a petition to form a tourism promotion area (TPA). The Council
adopted resolution 22-017 to establish and operate pursuant to chapter 35.101 RCW, a Tourism
Promotion Area fund. The City estimates that the annual revenue from the lodging charges
collected from the operators of lodging businesses within the Spokane Valley TPA is expected to
be $1,200,000. This estimated amount is based on a daily lodging charge of $4.00 and will vary
from year-to-year depending upon fluctuating occupancy rates of lodging businesses in the
Spokane Valley TPA and based upon program review.
Homeless Housing Program Fund #110
In 2023 Council passed Resolution #23-009 to declare Council's intent to operate a local
homeless and housing program and assume collection of available document recording fees for
this purpose. As part of operating a homeless and housing program, the City first needed to form
a Homeless Housing Task Force and adopt a five-year homeless housing action plan that
identifies how the City will work to eliminate homelessness consistent with the State's adopted
strategic plan. Document recording fees are collected by Spokane County and passed through to
the City based on the City's proportionate share of real estate excise tax (REET) collected on a
monthly basis.
LTGO Debt Service Fund #204
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax
general obligation (LTGO) bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non-voted bonds. When
LTGO bonds are issued, the City irrevocably pledges the full faith, credit and resources necessary
to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and statutory limitations
pertaining to non-voted general obligations.
21
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation (LTGO) bonds the proceeds
of which were used to finance both the construction of CenterPlace and road and street
improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order to take
advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond
repayment (much like refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding
there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this total:
$5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace.
These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December
1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public
Facilities District. At January 1, 2024, the outstanding balance on this portion of the bond issue
will be $3,040,000.
$1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements.
These bonds matured in December 2023, and so the outstanding balance on this portion of
the bond issue at January 1, 2024, is $0.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance
the construction of a new City Hall along with $6.3 million of City cash that had been set aside for
this purpose. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending
December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by transfers in
from the General Fund. At January 1, 2024, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,045,000.
REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an excise tax on
each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing capital projects as specified in the capital facilities plan
under the Growth Management Act.
REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
Under Washington State Law, RCW 82.46.010, the City is allowed to impose an additional excise
tax on each sale of real property at the rate of one-quarter of one percent of the selling price. The
revenue generated is used for financing public works capital projects as specified in the capital
facilities plan under the Growth Management Act.
Stormwater Management Fund #402
A stormwater fee is imposed upon every developed parcel within the City, which is an annual
charge of $58 for each single-family unit and $58 per 3,160 square feet of impervious surface for
all other properties. These charges are uniform for the same class of customers and service
facilities. These fees are estimated to generate $5,600,000 in 2024.
Aquifer Protection Area (APA) Fund #403
These are voter approved fees, the proceeds of which are applied to aquifer protection related
capital construction projects. Fees are collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City twice
each year. These fees are estimated to generate $500,000 in 2024. Fees include:
An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the
APA.
An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal by properties within the APA.
For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water
meter size.
22
Interfund Transfers
Many funds receive a portion of their revenues from other funds in the form of an interfund
transfer. These transfers typically represent payments for either services rendered by one fund
for another or a concentration of revenues for a specific project or purpose. The following
interfund transfers are planned for 2024:

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS IN THE 2024 BUDGET
Budget Summary for All Funds
Based upon funding levels anticipated in the 2024 budget, City staff will strive to maintain
adequate levels of service.
Appropriations for all City Funds will total $106.4 million including $19.4 million in capital
expenditures, comprised in-part of:
o $224 thousand in Fund #001 Î General Fund.
o $225 thousand in Fund #101 Î Street Fund.
o $8.9 million in Fund #303 Î Street Capital Projects.
o $220 thousand in Fund #309 Î Park Capital Projects.
o $3.5 million in Fund #311 Î Pavement Preservation Projects.
o $3.2 million in Fund #314 Î Railroad Grade Separation Projects.
o $1.5 million in Fund #402 Î Stormwater Management Projects.
o $1.0 million in Fund #403 Î Aquifer Protection Area Projects.
o $690 thousand in Fund #501 Î Equipment Rental and Replacement.
To partially offset the $19.4 million in capital costs, we anticipate $9.5 million in grant revenues
which results in about 49% of capital expenditures being covered with State and Federal
money.
Budgets will be adopted across 29 separate funds.
The full-time equivalent employee (FTE) count will increase in 2024 by 4 to 116.25 from
112.25. The increase for 2024 are the remaining 2 of 7 Stormwater positions that were
approved by Council when authorizing an increase in the Stormwater program to a proactive
level of service and 2 Parks & Recreation position authorized at the August 8, 2023 meeting.
The 2024 Budget reflects the tenth consecutive year the City will set aside City monies in an
amount equivalent to 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures for pavement preservation
in Fund #311 Î Pavement Preservation. This 6% equals $3,362,600.
Positions and salary ranges are based on the CityÓs compensation and classification plan.
Payroll tax and benefit amounts are based on staff benefit plans.
Contract costs for public safety, park maintenance, aquatics and street maintenance are
based on estimates by City staff.
The City sets money aside in Fund #501 Î Equipment Rental and Replacement for the
eventual replacement of its vehicles as well as a reserve to replace equipment in the kitchen
at CenterPlace and major IT equipment.
2024 General Fund Revenues
Total recurring 2024 revenues are estimated at $62,316,100 as compared to $56,418,900 in
2023, which is an increase of $5,897,200 or 10.45%.
The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are
collectively estimated to account for 83.37% of 2024 General Fund recurring revenues.
24
The 2024 general sales tax estimate (excluding criminal justice and public safety sales taxes)
is currently estimated at $33,709,600 which reflects an increase of $3,154,600 million or
10.32% over the 2023 estimate.
The Property Tax levy does not include the potential annual increase allowed by State law.
o The 2024 levy is estimated at $13,824,900.
o The levy assumes we start with the 2023 levy of $13,524,900, forgo the potential annual
increase allowed by State law, and finally add taxes related to new construction which we
estimate to be $300,000.
Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2023.
State shared revenues are based upon a combination of historical collections including 2023
collections through July, and per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal
Research and Services Center.
Fines and forfeitures are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historical collections.
Building permit and land use fees are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historic
collections.
2024 General Fund Expenditures
Total 2024 recurring expenditures are budgeted at $57,976,579 as compared to $53,685,640
in 2023. This is an increase of $4,290,939 or 7.99%.
The City commitment of 6% of recurring General Fund expenditures to pavement preservation
equals $3,362,600 and is computed by multiplying total recurring expenditures prior to adding
the pavement preservation element ($3,362,600 / $56,954,679 = 6%). The $3,362,600 that is
transferred to Pavement Preservation Fund #311 is comprised of the following:
o $1,021,900 from General Fund #001
o $1,170,350 from REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301
o $1,170,350 from REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302
2024 Nonrecurring expenditures total $5,372,423 and include:
o $152,500 for Information Technology expenditures including:
$15,000 to replace outdated copiers
$50,000 for server upgrades
$60,000 for network core hardware replacement
$27,500 for software upgrades
o $36,000 Public Safety UTV
o $416,000 for Facilities expenditures including:
o $155,000 for Precinct repairs & improvements
o $241,000 for CenterPlace repairs & improvements
o $20,000 for Electric man-lift
o $150,000 for replacement of banquet chairs at CenterPlace
o $25,000 for Motorized shades for Great Room at CenterPlace
o $4,592,923 transfer out to the Street O&M Fund #101 to cover the deficit in recurring
expenditures exceeding recurring revenues in that fund
General Fund Revenues Over (Under) Expenditures and Fund Balance
2024 recurring revenues are anticipated to exceed recurring expenditures by $4,339,521.
Total 2024 expenditures are anticipated to exceed total revenues by $707,902.
The total unrestricted General Fund ending fund balance is anticipated to be $41,432,509 at
the end of 2024 which is 71.46% of total recurring expenditures of $57,976,579. Our goal is
to maintain an ending fund balance of at least 50.0%.
25
Highlights of Other Funds
Revenues
Motor vehicle fuel tax (MVFT) revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City
is estimated to be $1,958,900 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal
Research and Services Center. Of this amount, $1,950,700 will be credited to the Street O&M
Fund #101 and 0.42% or $8,200 to the Paths and Trails Fund #103.
Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and
maintenance are anticipated to be $900,000.
Real estate excise tax (REET) revenue is computed by the City and is primarily used to match
grant funded street projects as well as pay a portion of the annual payment on the 2014
general obligation bonds. In 2024 we estimate these revenues to be $1,500,000 per each
¼% for a total of $3,000,000.
Hotel/Motel tax revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of
visitors and tourism. In 2024 we estimate the tax will generate $1,500,000, which includes
$900,000 in Fund #105 Hotel / Motel Tax Fund from the 2% tax and $600,000 in Fund #104
Hotel / Motel Tax Î Tourism Facilities Fund from the 1.3% tax.
The City began receiving the affordable and supportive housing sales tax in 2020 and will
receive these revenues as rebate of the StateÓs sales taxes for 20 years. The amount received
by the City is capped at 0.0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City for fiscal year 2019,
and the revenues may only be used to support affordable housing or rental assistance within
the City as outlined in RCW 82.14.540. These revenues are estimated at $200,000 in 2024 in
the Affordable & Supportive Housing Sales Tax Fund #108.
The Stormwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit (ERU) that is
equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of $58 per single family
residence and $58 per ERU for commercial properties (an ERU for a commercial property is
computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). In 2024 we estimate
this fee will generate $5,600,000.
The Aquifer Protection Area Fund is expected to generate $500,000 in fees that are collected
on the CityÓs behalf by Spokane County and remitted in two installments during the year.
Grant revenues that will be applied to a variety of construction projects are estimated at
$9,507,426 in 2024. By fund we anticipate grant revenues as follows:
o Fund #001 Î General Fund - $445,000
o Fund #303 Î Street Capital Projects - $6,949,896
o Fund #314 Î Railroad Grade Separation Projects Fund - $2,112,530
Expenditures

City Overview

CityÓs Foundation
The foundation of Spokane Valley is based on the CityÓs primary objective to be a city which is
responsive, focused on customer service, open to the public, progressive, efficient, lean and fair
while providing a high quality of life. Citizen involvement along with guidance from the City Council
established the CityÓs vision, core beliefs and customer service standards. These foundations
influence the development of the City Council Goals for each year as well as the goals of the
individual departments.
Spokane ValleyÓs Vision Statement:
ÐA community where individuals and families can grow and play and businesses will flourish and
prosper.Ñ
Core Beliefs
Supporting this vision are the core beliefs of Spokane Valley which were established through the
December 2007 adoption of Resolution 07-019 which in part reads:
- We believe Spokane Valley should be a visionary city encouraging its citizens and their
government to look to the future beyond the present generation and to bring such ideas
to public discussion and to enhance a sense of community identity.
- We believe that elected body decision-making is the only lawful and effective way to
conduct the publicÓs legislative business and that careful observance of a clear set of
Governance Coordination Rules of Procedure can best enhance public participation and
decision-making.
- We believe in the City Council as policy leaders of the City. One or more City
Councilmembers are encouraged to take the lead, where practical, in sponsoring
Ordinances or Resolutions excepting quasi-judicial or other public hearings and the
statutory duties of the City Manager as set forth in RCW 35A.13.020.
- We believe in hearing the public view. We affirm that members of the public should be
encouraged to speak and be heard through reasonable rules of procedure when the public
business is being considered, thus giving elected officials the broadest perspectives from
which to make decisions.
- We believe that the City of Spokane ValleyÓs governance should be known as Ðuser
friendly,Ñ and that governance practices and general operations should consider how
citizens will be served in the most responsive, effective and courteous manner.
- We believe that the economic and commercial job base of the community should be
preserved and encouraged to grow as an alternative to increasing property taxes. We
believe itÓs imperative to have an expanded and diverse economic base.
- We believe that Councilmembers set the tone for civic discussion and should set an
example by:
a) Setting high standards of decorum and civility.
b) Encouraging open and productive conversation amongst themselves and with the
community about legislative matters.
c) Demonstrating respect for divergent points of view expressed by citizens, fellow
Councilmembers, and the staff.
d) Honoring each other and the public by debating issues within City Hall and the
community without casting aspersions on members of Council, the staff, or the
public.
30
e) Accepting the principle of majority rule and working to advance the success of
ÐcorporateÑ decisions.
- We solicit the City ManagerÓs support in conducting the affairs of the City with due regard
for:
a) Promoting mutual respect between the citizens, City staff and the City Council by
creating the organizational teamwork necessary for effective, responsive and open
government.
b) Providing the City Council and public reasonable advance notice when issues are
to be brought forward for discussion.
c) Establishing and maintaining a formal citywide customer service program with
emphasis on timely response, a user-friendly atmosphere and an attitude of
facilitation and accommodation within the bounds of responsibility, integrity and
financial capability of the City, including organizational and job description
documents while pursuing Ðbest practicesÑ in customer service.
d) Seeking creative ways to contain or impede the rising cost of governmental
services, including examination of private sector alternatives in lieu of
governmentally-provided services.
e) Providing a database of future projects and dreams for the new City of Spokane
Valley so that good ideas from its citizens and leaders are not lost and the status
of projects can be readily determined.Ñ
Customer Service Standards
The commitment to provide excellent customer service for our citizens, businesses and visitors
resulted in the development of customer service standards. The CityÓs goal is to deliver service
that is complete, consistent and equitable to all our customers, and is based on the principles of
integrity, respect and responsiveness. Regardless of the reason for, the method, or frequency of
contact, our customers will be treated with courtesy, respect and professionalism.
Customer Service Standards are divided into three categories:
- Be Respectful
o Demonstrating courtesy and professionalism
o Listening effectively
o Responding in a timely manner
o Exemplifying a no-surprise atmosphere
- Be Knowledgeable
o Fostering a team-oriented approach
o Providing alternatives
o Anticipating questions
o Having and/or knowing your resources
o Being organized
- Be Welcoming
o Acknowledging customers when they enter
o Steering customers in the right direction
o Promoting an enjoyable work environment
o Maintaining a clean and uncluttered work environment
o Treating people as individuals

Financial Projection
This budget document is the tool we use to guide the City forward to accomplish the CouncilÓs
goals, while remaining squarely within the current budget and forecasted projections. Over time,
this provides the City with a good indicator of the progress the City is making to provide high
quality services in a cost-effective way, while remaining within budget and the forecasted
projections. Based on the Financial Projection, department budgets have been thoroughly
reviewed to keep 2024 expenditures in line with projected revenues.
The City views the changes in economy as an opportunity to reevaluate goals and strategies to
meet the challenges set before us. As an open collaborative government, we continue to
encourage our citizens to provide the necessary feedback we need as we endeavor to plan our
CityÓs future together.
The Financial Forecast is limited to five years. The reason for this discrepancy is that it becomes
increasingly difficult to forecast economic indicators beyond a five-year horizon. It is important to
note the Financial Projection is an imperfect tool and this is precisely why it is updated on an
ongoing basis.
The following General Fund financial projection is being created following a period of relatively
robust tax collections that have continued due to economic stimulus provided during the COVID-
19 pandemic as well as high inflation. The high levels of inflation have kept sales tax collections
at high levels while also increasing City costs. It is possible that continued inflation may change
consumer spending habits in a way that will negatively affect sales tax collections in the future,
which may change the outlook shown in the projection in the future.

Table 1.1 Financial Forecast and Program Impact Summary
The General Fund forecast for the years 2025 through 2028 uses the adopted 2024 Budget as a
beginning point and currently assumes levels of service that are identical to those provided by the
City in 2024. Rather than a hard and fast prediction of the City's future finances, this is a planning
tool that allows us to determine how best to match existing and proposed programs and levels of
service with anticipated financial resources and make adjustments if necessary.
34
It is noteworthy that the Estimated Beginning Unrestricted Fund Balance figure listed in 2024 is
as of October 9, 2023, and is based upon preliminary and unaudited figures. As we progress
through the process of "closing the 2023 books" we anticipate this figure will change due to the
fact we will continue to record both 2023 revenues and expenses as we become aware of them.
Table 1.2 Primary General Fund Revenue Sources
*The figures for 2023 and 2024 reflect adopted budget estimates.
External Input
As representatives of the citizens of the City of Spokane Valley, the City Council strives to form
policy that fairly represents all segments of our community, including residents, businesses and
those visiting our City. To maintain balance in serving the different needs that exist in the City of
Spokane Valley, it is necessary to receive feedback from customers and constituents.
Previously, the City has utilized citizen surveys to obtain feedback on various contract services
including solid waste, the cable franchising process, and the pavement management program.
Community meetings are used to keep citizens informed on a variety of projects including
planning discussions, capital projects, and the annual budget development process to name a
few. The City Council also provides for two separate general public comment periods during
Formal Council meetings which are held on the second and fourth Tuesday of each month and
allows public comment on all action items.
City staff recognizes the importance of citizen concerns and the role citizens play in the health of
our City. THE SV Express System allows citizens to share their concerns and report issues
affecting the City. Staff are then able to respond in a timely manner and have a conversation with
the citizen to work to resolve the reported concern.
The public can also choose to take a more active role in participation through public forums such
as public hearings and open house functions as well as through service on advisory committees.
In the future, focus groups may be utilized to allow for more focused feedback on a particular
subject so Council and staff can get a better feel for how a particular subject is received in the

Internal Input
The City of Spokane Valley City staff is comprised of knowledgeable professionals who provide
Council with specialized knowledge to assist them in making informed decisions. From demand
analysis, which determines when the workload is heaviest and how to best accommodate it, to
staff reports that consider alternative methods of service delivery or other cost-saving measures,
employees are invaluable in providing reports that present complex information in a manner that
makes it understandable and approachable. In addition, performance measure results are
analyzed, summarizing multi-year performances linked to targets and making comparisons to
other entities. Employees are often the information conduit from the citizens to the Council,
relaying resident concerns and/or changing trends. Staff often bring forward innovative ways of
providing efficient service delivery.
Strategic planning through several long-range plans allows staff to look at current trends in order
to make future forecasts and continually update plans as necessary. While much public input
goes into these documents, the forecasting and planning is done by skilled staffers who strive to
create innovative ways of achieving our future vision while meeting current needs, complying with
the law, and operating within financial constraints. These plans include the Comprehensive Plan,
Six-Year Transportation Improvement Program (TIP), Five-Year Financial Forecast, CenterPlace
Marketing Plan, Parks Master Plan, Streets Master Plan (Pavement Management Program) and
the Business Plan.

possible options to provide services to citizens and businesses, whether that is the private sector or other

performance and value compared to other liked-size cities. Additionally, a primary focus is ensuring that local
tax revenues generated from the City are invested in the community and are not used to subsidize other
jurisdictions.
Contract Administration also evaluates current service deliverables based upon current and anticipated
demand, while employing the best business practices and sound fiscal policy to ensure that staffing levels

of the Facilities division, it is anticipated that Facilities will take lead on budget preparation and responsibility
for maintaining the Precinct and that Contract Administration will continue to advise and provide assistance
as necessary.

Fund: 103Paths & Trails FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
The State of Washington collects a $0.494 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump. Of this amount, the State remits
a portion of the tax back to cities on a per capita basis. For 2023 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the
distribution back to cities will be $18.24 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 107,400 (per the
Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2023) we anticipate the City will collect $1,958,900 in 2024.
RCW 47.030.050 specifies that 0.42% of this tax must be expended for the construction of paths and trails and based upon
the 2024 revenue estimate this computes to $8,200. The balance or $1,950,700 will be credited to Fund #101 for Street
maintenance and operations.
The portion of the motor vehicle tax allocated to the Paths and Trails Fund is by State Law restricted for the construction
and/or improvement of paths and trails within the City. Because the cost of such projects is typically much greater
than the funds generated in a single year, we typically leave the fund balance untouched until an adequate fund balance
is available. The City transferred $50,000 in 2014 and $9,300 in 2016 and $50,000 in 2018 to Parks Capital Projects
Fund #309 to be applied towards the Appleway Trail projects.

Fund: 106Solid Waste FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
In 2003, the City of Spokane Valley entered into an interlocal agreement with the City of Spokane and Spokane County
to join the existing Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System for a period of eight years. In 2011, that
agreement was extended through November 16, 2014.
Committed to ensuring Spokane Valley citizens are provided with solid waste services that are affordable, sustainable,
and environmentally responsible, in June 2014 the City of Spokane Valley opted to contract for solid waste transfer,
transport and disposal services with Sunshine Recyclers, Inc. Services provided under the contract were effective
November 17, 2014, and continue for a period of ten years with options for two three-year extensions. Terms of the
contract require Sunshine to pay the City an annual administrative fee of $125,000 that will be used by the City to offset
contract administrative costs and solid waste management within the city, including solid waste public educational
efforts. The contract also provides that a road maintenance fee will be paid by Sunshine at the rate of $1 per ton for
each ton in excess of 45,500 tons in a single contract year. Payments will be made to the City by March 31 of the year
following the calendar year being measured.
In June 2017, the City entered a contract with Waste Management for the collection of garbage, recyclables, and
compostables for the period of April 1, 2018 through March 31, 2028 with the option of two additional two-year extensions.
Terms of the contract require Waste Management to pay the City a one-time fee of $47,500 upon contract execution to
reimburse the City for the costs of procuring the contract. Waste Management is also required to pay the City an
monthly administrative fee of 12.5% of gross receipts, which is estimated to be approximately $1,600,000 in 2022.
During the years of 2013 and 2014, the General Fund #001 funded various studies and fees related to the solid waste
program and transferred $60,000 to the Solid Waste Fund #106 for the purpose of providing information materials
and marketing necessary to inform residents and businesses of the change in solid waste transfer, transport and
disposal. The total amount paid out of the General Fund for these expenditures was $202,121. Beginning in 2015 the
Solid Waste Fund will reimburse the General Fund for these costs over a 5-year period, which equated to an annual
payment of $40,425 in the years 2015 through 2018, and a final payment of $40,422 in 2019.

2024 Budget
In the year 2020, the Council authorized the City to collect the affordable and supportive sales tax, which is a rebate of the State
sales tax to cities and counties. The amount received by the City is up to 0.0146% of the taxable retail sales within the City
capped at the 2019 fiscal year taxable retail sales. The Department of Revenue has estimated this capped distribution to be
$200,000 for the City. The City will receive these revenues for 20 years, and the revenues may only be used to support
affordable housing within the City or for rental assistance as outlined in RCW 82.14.540.

reserve account that could be used to make debt service payments on the bonds and/or pay for operating expenses of
CenterPlace. If at any time the City were to draw on these reserves it would have to prepare and follow a plan for
reinstatement of those funds drawn. This reserve is required to be in place for the life of the bonds which run through
December 1, 2033.

2024 Budget
The City has committed to maintaining an ending fund balance in the General Fund of at least 50% of recurring expenditures
which is equivalent to 6-months of operations. The Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund serves as an emergency source
of temporary financing to the General Fund in the event a downturn in the local economy resulted in a reduction of revenues
that would otherwise compromise either the General Fund's minimum 50% reserve balance or historical levels of service.
If an event such as a downturn in the economy resulted in the General Fund reserves dropping below 50% of recurring
expenditures, then the Service Level Stabilization Reserve Fund could be drawn against to maintain the fund balance
minimum. The use of this reserve balance is outlined in the Fiscal Policies at the beginning of this budget document.

2024 Budget
The Winter Weather Reserve Fund was established through Ordinance No. 05-018 to provide an emergency reserve for use
during unusually harsh winters and storms where the Street Fund #101 budget and fund balance are inadequate to
accommodate the amount of related street maintenance, including but not limited to snow plowing, sanding, and deicing, that
may be necessary. In the event the City draws against this fund in any given winter, we will strive to replenish the balance back
to approximately $500,000 through subsequent years' transfers. Due to the uncertainty of when this fund might be drawn
upon we actually budget the same $500,000 in both 2023 and 2024 even though we recognize there exists only $500,000
to address this issue if it should arise.

Fund: 204Limited Tax General Obligation (LTGO) Bond - Debt Service FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
This fund is used to account for the accumulation of resources for, and the payment of limited tax general obligation (LTGO)
bonds also referred to as councilmanic or non-voted bonds. When LTGO bonds are issued the City irrevocably pledges
the full faith, credit and resources necessary to make timely payments of principal and interest, within constitutional and
statutory limitations pertaining to non-voted general obligations.
In 2003 the City issued $9,430,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which were used to finance both the construction of
CenterPlace and road and street improvements surrounding the facility. In 2014 the City refunded the LTGO bonds in order
to take advantage of lower interest rates which resulted in a reduction in subsequent annual bond payments (much like
refinancing a home mortgage). At the completion of the bond refunding there remained $7,035,000 of LTGO bonds. Of this
total:
$5,650,000 remained on the original debt used towards the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. At January 1, 2024, the outstanding balance on this
portion of the bond issue will be $3,040,000.
$1,385,000 remained on the original debt used towards the road and street improvements. These bonds will be paid
off in annual installments over the 10-year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these
bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax (Funds #301
and #302). This debt was completely liquidated during 2023.
In 2016 the City issued $7,275,000 in LTGO bonds, the proceeds of which will be used to finance the construction of a new
City Hall building along with $6.3 million of City cash that has been set aside for this purpose. These bonds will be paid off
in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1, 2045. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are
provided by transfers in from the General Fund. At January 1, 2024, the outstanding balance on the bond issue will be
$6,045,000.

Park Capital Projects Fund
2024 Budget
The Park Capital Projects Fund was created to account for park related capital improvements. The source of financing
typically consists of an annual transfer from the General Fund #001; however, in some years the City will utilize money
set aside for capital projects in other funds. This has occurred with transfers in from the Paths and Trails Fund #103 and
the Capital Reserve Fund #312, which have been applied towards various sections of the Appleway Trail project and
frontage improvements at Balfour Park.

Fund: 310Civic Facility Capital Projects FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
The Civic Building Capital Projects Fund was initially set-up to accumulate resources to ultimately acquire or construct a
City Hall building. The initial sources of revenue to set-up the fund reserves were transfers from the General Fund during
2005 through 2007, and as recently as December 31, 2009, this fund had a fund balance of $5,828,600. During 2010 and
2011 the City determined that street repairs and reconstruction represented a more immediate City need and opted to
expend nearly $2,000,000 of the fund balance for these projects. The projects themselves were part of a septic tank
elimination program (STEP) initiated by Spokane County that resulted in the installation of sewer lines down many City
streets. At that time the City decided to completely reconstruct the effected streets rather than patch them.
In 2012 the City used this fund to finance a variety street related capital projects as well as the $2.5 million acquisition
of an 8.4 acre parcel of land on Sprague Avenue that is adjacent to Balfour Park. Partially offsetting the cost of the land
acquisition was the subsequent sale of 2.82 acres of this parcel to the Spokane County Library District who had planned to
construct a library building consisting of no less than 30,000 square feet. In order for the Library District to actually construct
a new building on this site they first had to have a successful voted bond issue to provide the necessary financing. In the
event the Library District is unable to pass a bond, they may sell the 2.82 acres parcel back to the City for
the original purchase price of $839,285.
An amendment was made to the interlocal agreement in October 2017 which extended the agreement through October 2022
with the option to extend through October 2024. Through this amendments, the City also agreed to contribute $1.3 million, of
which the $839,285 would be part, in frontage and/or joint site improvements on the Library site. Construction on the frontage
improvements occurred in 2021 and 2022 and the construction of the new library began in 2022. The remaining improvements
were made during 2023 during Balfour Park construction activities.
In 2015 the General Fund began to make two annual transfers to this fund that were each related to the eventual
construction of a new City Hall facility. These transfers ended after 2016:
The first transfer in the amount of $72,500, when added to the City's $434,600 annual lease payment for space in its
current space totals $507,100 which was the amount we anticipated our annual bond repayment would be if we were
to issue approximately $8,000,000 of limited tax general obligation bonds with a 2% issue cost over 30-years at 4.50%.
The second transfer was our estimate of the annual operating costs of a City Hall facility including utilities, janitorial,
grounds maintenance and snow removal, and operating and maintenance supplies.
The purpose behind making these transfers beginning in 2015 was to "create" this appropriation capacity within the General
Fund. These amounts were transferred out to the General Fund in 2016 and 2017 in order to cover lease payments for the
prior City Hall location in years in which the City had both a lease payment and a bond payment for the new City Hall building.

Beginning in 2013, the City committed to finance pavement preservation at a level equivalent to 6% of General Fund
recurring expenditures, which has continued from that year through the 2024 budget development. Because this is a
Capital Project Fund whose sole purpose is to provide for Pavement Preservation projects, any money not expended
in a given year will remain in the fund and will be available for re-appropriation in subsequent years.
The fund balance of Fund #123 was exhausted with the 2016 transfer of $559,808 as a consequence of following this funding
strategy. In order to maintain the City's practice of setting aside funds for pavement preservation in an amount equivalent to
6% of General Fund recurring expenditures, the City began to rely more heavily on REET funds. We have determined that
the 2024 funding level representing approximately 6% of General Fund recurring expenditures is $3,362,600 and that this level
of funding is sustainable through 2026 assuming a General Fund contribution of $1,021,900 and a collective contribution of
$2,340,700 from the REET 1 Capital Projects Fund #301 and the REET 2 Capital Projects Fund #302. The City will take
advantage of grant programs directed at pavement preservation as they become available.

Fund: 314Railroad Grade Separation Projects FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
This fund was created to account for the design and construction costs of various railroad grade separation projects that
are included in the Bridging the Valley concept. Due to the anticipated size, scope, and duration of these projects, managing
them in a separate fund allows for the necessary monitoring without being obscured by the variety and quantity of the
other projects in the Street Capital Projects Fund #303 as well as keeping these projects from skewing the average volume
of activity in Fund #303. Revenues for this fund consist of grant proceeds and transfers in from other City funds, such as
the General Fund #001, the REET 1 Capital Project Fund #301 and the Capital Reserve Fund #312. Expenditures in the
years of 2023 and 2024 are related to design and right of way costs for the Pines Road Underpass project, the construction
costs for the Barker Road Overpass project, and design work for the Sullivan Road Interchange.

2024 Budget
Beginning in 2021, the City began collecting transportation impact fees allowed pursuant to RCW 82.02.050-82.02.110 and
SVMC 22.100. These are fees specifically allowed to address impacts from new development and they may be imposed on
all developments within a designated area. The City has performed several studies to determine the impact areas on which
the fees are being imposed. All fees collected must be applied to transportation system improvements identified in the
corresponding study.

Fund: 316Economic Development Capital Projects FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
In 2015, the City contracted with Community Attributes Inc. to develop a Retail Improvement Strategy and Action Plan. This
plan led to another study with Community Attributes in 2016 to further explore tourism as an economic driver. The resulting
2016 Tourism Plan identified nine projects, including an expanded mixed-use facility around the Fairground and Avista
Stadium, for future development. These projects would likely boost tourism and help anchor the City's leisure and retail
community.
Over the next several years, the City continued more in-depth analysis of some of the projects identified in the Tourism Plan
and moved forward on several smaller projects. In 2020, the City began discussions with Spokane County regarding the
concept of expanding the Expo Center to create additional space and versatility to attract and support multiple conferences
and special events. The new Expo Center at the County Fairgrounds was estimated to cost $10 million; however, after doing
some preliminary design work, the cost was estimated to be much greater than that amount. As such, the project has been
put on hold and funding has been reallocated.

Fund: 403Aquifer Protection Area FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
In 1985 voters of Spokane County approved a ballot proposition to create the Spokane Aquifer Protection Area (APA)
as well as corresponding aquifer protection area fees with both sunsetting December 31, 2005. Boundaries of the
APA included portions of unincorporated areas (including what is now Spokane Valley) and the cities of Liberty Lake,
Millwood and Spokane. In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley approved a resolution authorizing the inclusion of its municipal
boundaries within the APA. The APA program was subsequently reauthorized through 2025 with voter approval.
All fees are collected by Spokane County and include:
An annual fee of $15 per household for the withdrawal of water from properties within the APA.
An annual fee of $15 per household for on-site sewage disposal within the APA.
For commercial properties an annual fee ranging from $15 to $960 depending upon water meter size.
In 2004 the City of Spokane Valley (City) entered into an interlocal agreement with Spokane County (County) that
authorized the County to collect and retain APA fees through 2010 for a variety of projects including:
up to $100,000 annually through 2010 to the Spokane Regional Health District to provide for data base
management related to monitoring of septic tanks and their potential impact on water quality in the Spokane
Valley Rathdrum Prairie Aquifer.
a septic tank elimination program (STEP) designed to replace septic tanks with sanitary sewer systems.
In the 2004 interlocal agreement the City and County also agreed that for the years 2011 through 2025 the APA fees
remaining after the payment of reasonable administration and billing fees incurred by the County would be distributed
annually between the County, City and City of Spokane on a proportional basis relative to the amount generated in
unincorporated areas, the City and City of Spokane.
The fees collected on the City's behalf by Spokane County are expended entirely on stormwater related projects that are
designed to protect the aquifer. These fees plus grant monies received from a number of granting agencies finance a
variety of capital projects.

Fund: 501Equipment Rental & Replacement FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
The Equipment Rental & Replacement Fund (ER&R) is an Internal Service Fund that is designed to provide the funds
necessary to purchase new vehicles and equipment at predetermined life cycles. This fund operates by charging each City
department a monthly rental rate for the vehicles they use. The fee is based upon the estimated useful life of the vehicle
and its replacement cost. The theory behind this program is that it allows City departments to budget vehicle replacement
costs as a reoccurring expense over an extended period of time rather than as an intermittent capital expense that may be
difficult to afford in any single year. In the event a City department requires an additional vehicle that actually adds to the
fleet rather than simply replaces an existing vehicle, then that department must budget for the initial purchase price and
transfer the necessary funds to the ER&R Fund to make the acquisition. In subsequent years the department will then
begin paying a replacement fee spread out over the estimated useful life of the new vehicle.
Beginning in 2017 a CenterPlace Kitchen Reserve was established through a transfer in from the General Fund in the
amount of $36,600 per year for 5 years to build a total reserve of $183,000, which is the estimated replacement cost of the
significant kitchen appliances and equipment at CenterPlace.
Snow Plow Replacement Program
The snow plow fleet currently consists of nine plow trucks. Six of the trucks are equipped with sanders and three of the
trucks are equipped with 1,000-gallon tanks for placement of liquid deicer. Over the past five years the City has
continued to improve the snow removal operations and has updated the snow plan accordingly. These improvements in
snow operations have dictated that operating nine plows is a very efficient way to remove snow from the arterial and hillside
roadways. Operating nine plows allows the performance of a full city arterial and designated hillsides plow in approximately
12 hours. In the future new plows will be purchased to replace the aging fleet as noted below and older plows will serve
as backups and eventually be retired from the fleet beginning in 2022. The recommended snow plow fleet consists of eleven
plows with two serving as backup plows. The two backup plows ensure that arterial roadways and hillside priority roadways
can be cleared of snow per the snow plan. Having backup plows provides the City with additional plows that can be deployed
in case of a mechanical breakdown or an accident during a winter storm event.

Fund: 502Risk Management FundSpokane Valley
2024 Budget
The City of Spokane Valley is exposed to risks of loss related to a number of sources including tort; theft of, damage to, and
destruction of assets; errors and omissions; injuries to employees; natural disasters; and unemployment claims filed by
former employees through the State of Washington. The Risk Management Fund was established to account for all such
related revenues and expenses. Revenues for this fund are comprised almost entirely from an annual transfer of money
from the General Fund and the single largest expense is typically the insurance premium the City pays to our insurance
provider, the Washington Cities Insurance Authority (WCIA).

This fund was created during the 2022 Budget development process to account for State assessed District Court fees
collected by Spokane County and remitted to the City as well as passthrough tax revenues such as leasehold excise and
sales taxes. The City then remits the funds to the State Treasurer and County Prosecutor. These are fuduciary activities

Transportation Benefit District
November 14, 2023 – Council held a public hearing on Ordinance No. 23-022 and
assuming the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District and had a first reading of
Ordinance No. 23-022
BACKGROUND:
The City’s street network consists of roughly 450 centerline miles of roadway, including 127
centerline miles of arterials/collectors and 323 centerline miles of local access streets. This
equates to 1,025 total lane miles in the network covering roughly 9.2 million square yards (SY)
of paved surfaces, equivalent to 1,900 acres. Roughly two-thirds of the City streets’ pavement
area is attributed to local access streets. The remaining one-third of pavement area is located
on arterial or collector streets.
The City’s PMP serves two primary functions:
Preservation: Multi-year planning and implementation of pavement ‘treatments’ to
extend the life of existing paved streets and sustain the pavement condition over time.
Maintenance: Annual costs for repairs and upkeep of snowplow operations, traffic
signals and signs, streetlights, sidewalks, potholes, crack filling, and roadside
maintenance.
In 2021, the City created the Street Sustainability Committee to help engage the public
regarding the PMP while providing detailed insights from a focused stakeholder group. The
committee recommended several measures to address a sustainable PMP. These
recommendations generally focused on local streets, working on different and more economical
project delivery methods, identifying alternative surface treatment methods, and identifying
additional funding sources.
Based on the Street Sustainability Committee’s recommendations, the City has taken steps to
focus on local streets, identify and implement more economical delivery methods, and to
engage in pilot projects for alternative surface treatment methods. Through a series of
discussions from 2022 and 2023, City Council identified a desire to fully or adequately fund the
PMP and focused on creation of a transportation benefit district as a means to provide
dedicated transportation funding. As a result of those discussions, on October 24, 2023, City
Council approved Ordinance No. 23-018, which adopted chapter 3.85 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code and formed the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District.
The Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District is a separate legal entity, which requires
separate meetings, separate accounting, and separate administration than other City work. The
law allows the City to assume the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the TBD. To do
so, the City Council must:
1. Adopt a resolution declaring its intention to consider assumption of the powers of the
TBD and to set a public hearing.
2. Conduct a public hearing on the assumption of powers of the TBD.
3. Adopt an ordinance assuming the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the
TBD.
On October 31, 2023, City Council approved Resolution No. 23-012, declaring the City Council’s
intention to consider assuming the powers of the Spokane Valley TBD and setting a public
hearing for November 14, 2023. On November 14, 2023, City Council held a public hearing on
proposed Ordinance No. 23-022 and assuming the Spokane Valley TBD. Proposed Ordinance
No. 23-022 would assume the rights, powers, functions, and obligations of the Spokane Valley
TBD. Assuming the powers will significantly simplify the administration of the TBD, including
administering the funds collected for transportation improvements for greater efficiency of
government. At this time, the Spokane Valley TBD has not collected any funds and has not
committed any funds to any projects.
OPTIONS: Move to approve Ordinance No. 23-022 assuming the Spokane Valley
Transportation Benefit District, to a second reading; or take other action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve Ordinance No. 23-022 assuming
the Spokane Valley Transportation Benefit District.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None related to transportation funding. Assuming the
powers will significantly simplify the administration of the Spokane Valley TBD, which is
estimated to result in increased efficiency and a reduction in administrative costs.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE:YMCA Pools ContractAmendmentand Restatement of Terms
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: N/A
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of prior 2015 contract and subsequent 3-year
renewal options in 2018 and 2021.
BACKGROUND: The YMCA has operated the City’s three outdoor pools since 2005. Requests
for Qualifications that were published in 2009 and again in 2015 saw the YMCA as the sole
responder. The City’s partnership with the YMCA has provided a beneficial service to our
community and continues to receive positive feedback.
The current contract with the YMCA expires on December 31, 2023. The City will be embarking
on an update of its 6-year Parks & Recreation Master Plan in 2024 and 2025 and would like to
extend the current contract with the YMCA for another 3-year term beginning next year, with two
additional 3-year renewal options.
Minor changes to the contract are proposed to reflect current practices between the parties, and
to adjust the annual administrative fee that is paid to the YMCA, which has not increased since
2014. In addition to the annual administrative fee, the City pays the YMCA for actual expenses
monthly during the aquatics season based on itemized invoices. To update the terms for
consistency with other City contracts, this amendment restates the terms in their entirety. If
approved the new terms in this amendment will control the agreement moving forward.
OPTIONS: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and execute the amendment and
restatement of terms to the YMCA Agreement for Operations and Maintenance of Pool Facilities
in substantially the form provided or take other action as recommended.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to finalize and
execute the amendment and restatement of terms to the YMCA Agreement for Operations and
Maintenance of Pool Facilities.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The proposed contract would increase the annual
compensation to the YMCA from $34,000 plus actual expenses to $40,000 plus actual expenses,
with an annual adjustment of the administrative fee not to exceed 3% or the CPI, whichever is
smaller. The anticipated actual cost to the City for the 2024 aquatics season under this agreement
would be an estimated $597,970.

relating to or arising out of the wrongful or negligent acts, errors, or omissions in the services provided by
Contractor, Contractor's agents, subcontractors, and employees to the fullest extent permitted by law,
subject only to the limitations provided below.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Administrative report – CTA-2023-0003 Updates to the Clearview
Triangle regulations
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) 22.070.030; RCW

PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN:

stnd
February 7 & 28, March 13, 2012 – Administrative report, 1, and 2 reading of Ordinance
12-011 Amending Chapter 22.70
BACKGROUND:
CTA-2023-0003 is a city-initiated code text amendment. The proposed amendments to SVMC
22.070.030 clarify that clearview triangle regulations apply to alleyways. The need for the
proposed amendment was identified because of code enforcement cases related to alleyways
and clearview triangles. While there is text in SVMC 22.70.030 includes a reference to an alley,
Table 22.70-1 and Figure 22.70-1 with specific sight distance regulations do not. The proposed
amendment clarifies that alleys are subject to clearview triangle regulations. The amendment also
adds an exemption to the clearview triangle regulations for parked vehicles provided they are
legally parked and operable. A revision to Figure 22.70-1 to clarify the measurement limits is also
included.
Pursuant to SVMC 19.30.040 modification to SVMC Titles 17 through 24 are classified as a Type
IV development application and require the Planning Commission to provide a recommendation
to City Council.
On October 26, 2023, the Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposed
amendment. On November 9, 2023, the Planning Commission issued their recommendation that
the City Council approve the proposed amendment.
The proposed code text amendment is included in the attached Planning Commission Findings
and Recommendations as Exhibit 1
OPTIONS: Staff recommend amending the code text with the proposed changes; or take other
action deemed appropriate.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Seeking Council consensus to bring forward an
ordinance to amend SVMC 22.070.030 with the proposed changes as stated.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: There is no anticipated financial impact.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Annexation Update
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: NA
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Adoption of Ordinance 19-004 (Comprehensive Plan
amendments annexations). Adoption of Ordinance 20-007 (chapter 19.180 Newly Annexed Areas
-Spokane Valley Municipal Code.
BACKGROUND: Throughout 2022, staff and Council representatives took part in the update of
the Countywide Planning Policies (CPPs). These policies are intended to guide interaction
between the cities, towns, and county government. The CPPs provide the framework for the
designation, review, and update of Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Through the update process
policy language was modified to state “Within UGAs it is most appropriate that urban government
services be provided by cities and towns”. This policy language suggests that urban services be
provided by the adjacent city. It should be noted that the City of Spokane Valley does not provide
water, sewer, power, or gas, so the primary services are street-related services (sweeping,
maintenance, plowing, stormwater, etc.) and public safety.
In June of 2023 the City entered into a contract with BERK Consulting to conduct an assessment
of the UGAs adjacent to our City boundary to determine buildable capacity and land use options.
An important component of the analysis was ensuring consistency with the CPPs and the related
Land Capacity Analysis (LCA). The LCA is the tool the County and the cities within the County
will use to estimate how much population capacity exists within cities and UGA. Staff and Council
representatives recently took part in an update of the LCA methodology.
Using the updated LCA methodology, the consultant completed an initial map showing parcels in
the UGA adjacent to the City that are unbuildable, developed, partly developable, re-developable,
and vacant. Staff has reviewed the analysis and provided comments to the consultant allowing
them to move forward and complete a draft of the annexation report.
The annexation report will provide a clear understanding about the potential for UGAs adjacent
to the City to meet future growth needs including information on development yields for individual
areas for both residential and non-residential (commercial/industrial) uses. The analysis will also
provide information that responds to the City’s adopted annexation criteria.
A draft report is expected by the end of November. Staff will provide comments back to the
consultant by mid-December with the final report and analysis expected before the end of 2023.
