Projects
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Information item on potential project list on October
13, 2009.
BACKGROUND: Spokane County has estimated for planning purposes only, that the County
will receive $1,550,000 in CDBG funding for the 2010 program year. There are statutory limits
on the administration and planning allocation of 20% of new funds or approximately $330,000.
Also limited by statute is the human service allocation at 15% of available funds or
approximately $247,000. In 2008, Spokane County agreed to amend the CDBG funding
policies to establish a 20°/a set-aside of the County's annual federal appropriation for City of
Spokane Valley capital projects. This results in an estimated set-aside for Spokane Valley
infrastructure projects of 310 000.
City staff met to identify city capital projects that would qualify for CDBG funding. The foilowing
list of projects is preliminary based on city stafFs evaluation of CDBG eligible projects.
Street Proiects: Estimated Costs
1. Corbin Sewer Project $778,507
(Full width paving in conjunction with County sewer project)
TOTAL ESTIMATED PROJECT COST $778,507
OPTIONS: Identify other potential projects for consideration.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Direct staff to proceed in preparing applications for
selected projects.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Undetermined at this time.

traversed by the trail must give written consent. The City of Spokane Valley is being asked to
provide such a letter for their application. The application deadline is November 1, 2009.
The criteria for NRT desiqnation is as follows:
. -The trail must be open to public use and be designed, constructed, and maintained according
to best management practices, in keeping with the use anticipated.
-The trail is in compliance with applicable land use plans and environmental laws.
-The trail will be open for public use for at least 10 consecutive years after designation.
-NRT designation must be supported by the landowner(s), public or private, whose property the
trail crosses.
OPTIONS: 1) provide additional direction to staff.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: The City of Spokane Valley supports the Centennial
Trail's application for National Trails status and agrees to send a letter of support.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: No additional requirements from what the City is currently
doing.

Mayor Munson opened the meeting at 6:00 p.m. and welcomed everyone to the meeting.
City Clerk Bainbridge called the roll; all Councilmembers were present except Councilmember
Robertson. It was moved by Depury Mayor Denenny, seconded and unanimously agreed ta excuse
Councilmember Robertson from tonight's meeting.
ACTION ITEMS:
1. First Reading Proposed Ordinance 09-025 Substantial Need — Ken Thompson
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Councilmember Gothmann and
seconded to suspend the rules and adopt Ordinance 09-025 finding substantial need. Finance Director
Thompson explained that during the budget process over the last few months, we have occasionally talked
about property tax, and he reminded Council that the City is allowed to levy a 1% increase over the
highest lawful lery or an increase equal to the implicit price deflator, which is equal to inflation,
whichever is less; that we now have the inflation number which is -.84 or almost a-1%; and explained
that when looking at the sales ta�c revenues which are down $2.8 million; the building and planning fees
which are down $400,000; and gambling which is down $100,000, all for an approximate total of $33
million; and that expenses aze going up, therefore he said it appeazs there is a substantial need. Mr.
Thompson said that new construction will pay their fair share which would equate to an approximate 1%
increase on property, and said passage of this ordinance requires a super majority. Mr. Thompson added
that the assessed value won't be finalized until late 2009. Mayor Munson said that for the average home
of $164,000, this increase equates to about 27¢ more per month and Mr. Thompson concurred.
Discussion included mention that the 2.9% includes new construction, that if this were to pass, the
average monthly cost for a homeowner would still be under $21.00; and a suggestion from
Councilmember Schimmels to use monies from one or more of the other funds instead of increasing ta�ces
in these economic times. It was moved by Mayor Munson and seconded to amend the motion to advance
it to a second reading. Mayor Munson invited public comment on the motion to amend, and no
comments were offered. Vote by acclamation to amend the motion: In Favor: Mayor Munson, Deputy
Mayor Denenny, and Councilmembers Wilhite, and Gothmann. Opposed: Councilmembers Schimmels
and Dempsey. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
There was additional discussion on the newly amended motion including comment from Councilmember
Gothmann that the govemment could be managed in a slow and steady manner or council could wait until
the precipice occurs then drop everybody off; and said he prefers the slow and steady manner; and said

that we would be increasing the levy on existing taspayers just on the city's poRion of I% which amounts
to 27¢ a month on the average house. Depury Mayor Denenny said we know there aze reserves, but we
are looking at projects coming up where we might not have the current general operating capital; and in
the meantime, the Sheriff's Office contract will see a 3.25% wage increase for the deputies every yeaz,
and said we are obligated to pay those increases; and said that on a budget component of roughly ]5
million, that is about a 7% increase, and said considering not to levy some modest increase to help
maintain those costs brings up the question of how to reduce services; he said we are fortunate not to have '
the budget struggles many cities aze experiencing; and said he feels most citizens would prefer to
maintain services with a modest level of increase. Mayor Munson added that the reserves are there for a
"rainy day" and that today is a drizzle compared to a rainy day which could come in the future; and said
he feels it is wise to keep those reserves as they are now as he believes 2011 will get worse before it gets
better. Mayor Munson invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by acclamotion on the
amended motion.• In Favor: Mayor Munson, Deputy Mayor Denenny, and Councilmembers Gothmann
and Wilhite. Opposed: Councilmembers Schimmels and Dempsey. Abstentions: Motion. Motion carried
to advance the ardinance to a second reading.
2. First Reading Proposed Ordinance 09-030 Cable Franchise — Carv Driskell
Afrer City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Denettny and
seconded to advance ordinance 09-030 to a second reading. Deputy City Attomey Driskell mentioned
that the local manager of Comcast, Mr. Ken Watts is here tonight should Council have further questions;
that Comcast reviewed the proposed franchise and it should be before Council soon; that this new code is
more comprehensive and establishes what our minimum expectations would be for any cable provider
requesting a franchise. Mayor Munson invited public comment no comments were offered. �ote by
acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
NON-ACTION TTEMS:
3 County Contract Presentation — Mor¢an Koudelka & John Pietro
Senior Administrative Analyst Koudetka explained that tonighYs presentation is to discuss the 2009
contracts and the costs associated with them; and that there are two reasons for this discussion now: (1)
that our review process of estimated costs have been cumbersome this yeaz and it has taken this long to
nail down the estimated wsts for the year; and (2) because of the large increases in contract costs we saw
for 2009, it affected the 2010 budget as the public safety contracts comprise most of the general fund
budget; and he added that the estimated budgets are based on the five year trend; and he said that the large
increase this year is significant, and that staff was not able to identify anything that would lead them to
believe that 2009 was an anomaly. Mr. Koudelka went through his PowerPoint presentation which
explained the contract components and process, the indirect costs, the positives, the challenges for 2009,
the methodology and calculation errors corcected during the City's review, comparison between first and
last versions of estimates received, and then showed the charts on the various contracts, such as animal
control, district court, pre-trial, emergency management, public defender, prosecutor, and law
enforcement which included the jail and Geiger Corrections Center. Mr. Koudelka also discussed the
impact on our budget of the decrease in Washington State Patrol initiated cases; then gave an overview of
comparison of all contracts from 2008 and 2009, ending with the impact on Spokane Valley and
suggested corrective actions. City Manager Mercier added that the more moderate increases are 6% or
more, that we included rates in our projection of about 6%, but that the difficulty is with the revenues
increasing one to two percent, and expenses increasing 4%, it creates a gap over time which requires a lot
of attention to manage and budget.
Mayor Munson called for a recess at 7:20 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7::35 p.m.
4. Aquatics Contract — Mike Stone
Parks and Recreation Director Stone explained that a Request for Proposal (RFP) was sent out for the
three pools, that currently these services aze being provided by the YMCA, which contract expires
December 31, 2009; that responses were due last Friday, and there was only one response, that from the
YMCA. Mr. Stone said that staff will bring this item back to council for a motion consideration for
contract approval, and he anticipates it would be for one year, with four, one-year renewals, which are the
Council Meeting Minutes: 09-29-09 Page 2 of 3

same terms as previously used. Mr. Stone also mentioned that financial control is a key point and they
aze considering having the Y collect and deposit the funds in their account, and we would work an
exchange between revenues and expenses and then write them a check. Mr. Stone said that due to the
added feamre of each pool, there is increased staffing needs; and that consideration is also being given to
expanding the pool season next year, that this yeaz the season was slightly extended and the late August
90° temperatures helped to keep attendance up at the pools; but said staffing is a challenge as many staff
members aze college students.
S. Parks Maintenance Contract — Mike Stone
As noted in Mr. Stone's Request for Council Action form, Mc Stone explained that this contract is a little
more challenging that staff developed a bid package for the park maintenance services; that all work
would be considered a"public works" which means state prevailing wages will need to be paid by the
contractor; that the bid package will be publicly advertised September 25; and said the bid opening is
scheduled for October 16.
6 Preliminary.LegislativeAgenda—DaveMercier
City Manager Mercier said tonighYs agenda item is to give Council opportunity to edit the preliminary
legislative agenda, and to determine if Council would like to have the adoption of the legislative agenda
within a meeting or two. After Mr. Mercier went over the preliminary agenda items, discussion included
mention of the TranspoRation Improvement Board (TIB) rules, TIB funding issues and that the gas tax
funds the TIB, and rules for cities with populations under 5,000 and that this might be something for the
lobbyist to work on; the concept of a street utility fee and monitoring of that process, and mention of state
budget deficits.
7. Council External Committee Reports - Councilmembers
The SWAC (Solid Waste Advisory Committee), SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council), and
STA (Spokane Transit Authoriry) recent meetings were briefly mentioned but nothing definitive was
mentioned requiring council consensus. Mayor Munson mentioned that if the STA recommends service
cuts, he will bring that information back for council consideration; and said that the GMA (Growth
Management Act) Steering Committee will meet to consider expansion of the UGA (urban growth area)
for the County, but there is no documentation yet, and Council concurred that Mayor Munson should
proceed to vote as he determines the facts to be.
8. Advance Agenda — Mayor Munson
Mr. Mercier mentioned that next week Council will receive an update on the project wsts of the SARP.
9. Information Onlv: The Traffic Interlocal Agreement, Response to Public Comments, and Community

ACTION ITEMS:
1. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 09-025 Substantial Need — Mike Jackson
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Denenny and
seconded to adopt ordinarrce 09-025 finding substantial need. Deputy City Manager Jackson explained
that passage of this ordinance requires a majority plus one, even though only a majority was required to
move it to a second reading; he explained that the state budget law requires we make our revenue
projections known and that the City is permitted to levy a 1% increase over the highest lawful lery or an
increase equal to the implicit price deflator, or inflation, whichever is less; and that staff has been advised
that inflation is a negative .0084 which will decrease our property ta�c lery in 2010; and to avoid a
potential decrease, the City can find a substantial need to levy the increase. Mr. Jackson explained the
process Finance Director Thompson used to propose the figure, said that this would result in an increase
of $299,500 in proper[y tax and of that, about 1.8% is expected to come from new construction; and that
this only applies m that portion of the property tax which is for Spokane Valley, which is about 13% of
assessed taxes. Mr. Jackson said that if Council decided not to pass the ordinance, the most logical
manner to secure the needed funds would be to decrease the general fund ending balance by that amount;
he said there aze several dedicated funds like winter reserves; but the ending fund reserve for the general
fund is the only un-dedicated reserve and that it currently is healthy with a 15% excess, which is the
recommended amount to contain in reserves. The Service Level Stabilization Fund, he explained, is really
more of a"hutticane" fund instead of a"rainy day" fund; he explained that this City has operated under a,
six- year plan to make sure we can sustain basic services in future; and we know over time there will be
an impact on general fund reserves. Mr. Jackson also explained that the City did not increase property
taxes in the years when the economy was doing well, and said it is staff's recommendation to continue to
stay the course to keep as level a rate as possible, and to pass this substantial need which would amount to
about 27¢ per month to the average homeowner.
Discussion included mention by Councilmember Wilhite that our bonding rates and interest rates are
better if we maintain a healthy reserve; remarks from Mayor Munson that this is a six-year forecast and

not a spending plan; Deputy Mayor Denenny said that as we are offered grants, we need the matching
funds, and that reserve is a place to tap those funds if needed, that we are running a"thin line" now to
continue with matching funds; Councilmember Gothmann gave his opinion on how the 1.1% tas plays
into personal obligations; Councilmember Schimmels said he believes we have to live within our means
always and asked what we would do six months or a year from now, and said that he would not approve a
tax increase; Councilmember Dempsey said she is not for raising taxes, but feels that most people could
find 27¢ by walking around in a parking lot, and said she would rather save the "hurricane" fund for a
true hurricane and pay the 27¢ now; and Councilmember Robertson concurred and said he feels this is a
reasonable change. Mayor Munson also mentioned that this Council has always shown fiscal
responsibility, and said if we dip into the reserves now when the need is relatively small, it will be
compounding a situation later if a greater need arises. Mayor Munson invited public comment; no
comments were offered. Yote by acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Munson, Deputy Mayor Denenny, and
Councilmembers Robertson, Dempsey, Wilhite and Gothmann. Opposed: Councilmember Schimmels.
Abstentions: None. Motion passed.
2 Proposed Resolution 09-014 Emereencv Winter Street Maintenance Contract —Neil Kersten
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Denenny and seconded to approve emergency Resolution 09-014. Public
Works Director Kersten explained that last December, we spent over $1.2 million to remove snow; and
said he is hopeful this winter will not be as harsh; he said that the contract was finalized which put into
place our winter operation with Poe Asphalt that the contract will be in two phases: phase 1 will be in
effect until December 31, 2009 with a not-to-exceed price of $280,000; and phase 2 will be from January
1, 2010 and remain until May 30, 2010 and shall not exceed $640,000; and said these costs are based on
current budget amounts for a low snow year; he said we have a winter weather reserve of $.5 million and
can come back to council if needed. Mr. Kersten then explained parts of the contract and contract
e�ibits attached to the resolution, inc(uding equipment, staffing, plowing routes, and direct cost rates.
Mr. Kersten said we ended up with six plows, that the contractor will have three graders with wings so
each could plow two lanes at a time, and said we can bring in more personnel if needed; that the City's
staff inembers have their CDL (commercial driver's license) and will probably run the pre-treatment
units; he said Tim Klein will be the key staff person, and Ar[ Jenkins, the new stormwater engineer will
be assisting.
Mr. Kersten said the private roads have been better delineated; and said that roads azound the hospital will
be a priority one; he said direct costs rates are all staying the same as in 2009, but labor is up about 3.5%
through 2009 and 2010. Mr. Kersten also stated that the first year will include some spending for training
and getting them used to the roads; and said that WSDOT (Washington State Department of
TranspoRation) will spend a day training with us; that since we do not have a safety plan, such will be
provided by Poe. Formerly, the County's proposal was for six operators and three pieces of equipment;
and just to have their staff on stand-by. Mr. Kersten explained, was $500,000 for the entire season
regardless of whether it snowed or not; and said one of the benefits of this new contract is that we own six
hucks. Mr. Kersten said that Poe has been working with us for four years and most of their staff know
the CiTy; he said all the trucks passed the emissions test, and the mechanic said they are all in good shape.
Mr. Kersten also mentioned that the trucks will have the City logo on them, and that each unit will have a
type of telephone linked to a GPS system so that we can see where the truck is, where it has been, how
many miles they traveled, and exactly where they are at any time; and said that these individuals normally
don't work in the winter so they are excited to have the work, and that most of Poe's employees live here.
Mayor Munson invited public comment. No comments were offered, but Council offered their
appreciation and "kudos" to Mr. Kersten and his stafF for putting this together. Vote by acclamation: In
Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.

3 Motion Consideration• Spokane Countv Traffic Interlocal —Neil Kersten
It was moved by Councilmember Wilhite and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to sign
the Spokane Counry Tra�c Interlocal Agreement. Pubiic Works Director Kersten said that the current
interlocal expires October 15, 2009; that this contract is for signs, signals and stripping, and he mentioned
that the County crews do a great job; that their crew and our crew work well together; there have been no
problems, and staff recommends council approve this contract, which is a yeaz-to-year contract with
optio� to cancel, and he said the costs aze for 2009 as the 2010 costs have not been calwlated yet. Mayor
Munson asked about the automatic renewal process and Mr. Kersten said it is as it has been in past yeazs.
There was some council/staff discussion concerning the priority for having an altemative plan, and while
there was no disagreement on having an alternative plan, there was no council consensus to have such as
a top priority. Yote by acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed.• None. Abstentions: None. Motion
carried.
NON-ACTION ITEMS:
4 Residential Li¢hting — Greg McCormick
Planning Manager McCormick stated that the lighting standards were included in the batch amendments
in 2008; that it was removed from the batch and sent back to the Planning Commission for a public
hearing, which was held September 24; that at the conclusion of that hearing, the Planning Commission
recommended the changes as noted in the attached material. Mr. McCormick went over the proposed
changes which were to add a new section concerning design standards to apply to all outdoor lighting in
residential zones, and that all new development would be required to provide lighting within pazking lots,
along pedestrian walkways and accessible routes of travel; that lighting fixtures would be limited to not
greater than 24 feet in height for parking lots and not more than 16 feet for pedestrian walkways; that all
lighting would be shielded from producing off-site glaze, either through exterior shields or optical design
inside the fixtures, and would not emit light above 90°; and that street lighting installed by the City of
Spokane Valley or other public utilities would be exempt from the regulations. Mr. McCormick said staff
would also recommend modifying the last regulation to address investor owned utilities as being exempt
as well. Discussion ensued regarding private streets which are not under the City's jurisdiction; that these
new regulations would not be retroactive but only apply to new development moving forward from the
effective date of any change; and that blinding lights are addressed in the nuisance code.
Councilmembers said they would like to see further reseazch on residential light issues or on someone
putting lights in their backyard, and how to address existing residential lighting problems; and Mr.
McCormick said he would have that information at the ordinance's first reading.
5 Continuit of Operations Plan Addendum — Mike Jackson
Deputy City Manager Jackson explained that a few weeks ago Council adopted the Pandemic Response
Plan, and pointed out that the plan did not include Council; and he said this is the addendum to that plan
and if Council concurs, we can add this to the previously approved plan. Council concurred.
6 SARP/Road Proiect Fundin¢ Update—Neil Kersten/ Scott Kuhta
Senior Planner Kuhta went over the material in his September 30 Memorandum to Council, and explained
that the total $35.4 million is the total projected high level for all improvements and includes the two-way
conversion. Mr. Kuhta also mentioned that this information will be up on our website after tonight.
Councilmember Wilhite suggested including information indicating how far the Appleway Extension
travels; and Mr. Kuhta indicated that it is included in the stages, and he will include that in the summary
chaR as welL Mr. Kersten added that these aze estimated costs and have not yet been engineered. Mr.
Kuhta also reminded everyone that these figures do not include anything for City Hall, and that anything
associated with a City Hall would go to some kind of a bond vote if and when we get to that point.
Mayor Munson said council would like periodic updates on these costs as more information becomes
available.

tenth our size, getting out and acquiring funding to get the projects completed, and said that the Grand
View project is not competed yet. Councilmember Gothmann said the TIB meeting also did a review of
projects, and he referenced his "Transportation Funds Available to Spokane Valley" (Partial List),
including the TIB projects completed since June, 2009; he said that the TIB Director presented a review
of these listed projects which were completed within the past three months, and said there are over 200
TIB projects in progress now; and this list was for those projects completed within the last three months;

Newcastle project, the Cold Creek Parkway, a major thoroughfare, [ook over eight years to complete and
was done in four phases; and said these cities are tapping the appropriate entities to get funding and are
getting their projects done; and said the City of Spokane Valley can do likewise. Councilmember
Gothmann mentioned again the partial list of funding available, including assistance from the
Transportation Improvement Boazd, which includes Mr. Gothmann, as well as the Community

that Walgreen's distribution centers have a policy of hiring at least 30% of their workforce in their
distribution center, with people with disabilities; and she reported Walgreens said they have not dropped
any of their s[andards; and she said perhaps as a city we could work on something like that to offer
opportunities to people with disabilities.
Councilmembers Schimmels: said he also attended the AWC mee[ing; the Solid Waste Liaison Board
meeting; and a few weeks ago also attended the SCOPE awards banquet.
Councilmember Robertson: reported that he attended the AWC meeting, which was his first such
meeting; that he met with Mayor Verner at her request conceming "green jobs" which is the number one
goal of our Governor in 2010, and that he and Mayor Verner had a discussion on how to achieve that and
to work on the environment without hurting business; and regarding solid waste management, Mayor
Verner shared some information with him on some of the major problems associated with that in our
county; and he explained that Mayor Vemer also spoke of her city's right to incorporate adjacent land in
urban growth areas, that she was not speaking of Spokane Valley but rather in conjunction with the west
side of their city near Airway Heights.
Deputv Mayor Denenn� said that he attended the AWC meeting, which was his last one; and said he had

the STA Operations Committee meeting, and said concerning a possible continued drop in sales ta�c
revenues and that STA felt it prudent to anticipate a zero growth rate for sales tax revenues for 2010 but
he suggested they examine the possibi(ity of a 3.5% drop in sales tax revenues; which means if that
occurs, there will be a wt in service, but that nothing was finalized on specific figures; that he did a radio

Mayor Munson explained the procedure for taking comments on the upcoming ballot issue, lnitiative
1033; that up to ten minutes would be allowed for a speaker to speak in favor of the measure; then up to
ten minutes allowed for a speaker to speak in opposition; then the floor would be opened for general
comments from those for the measure, followed by those against the measure, and then for general
comments; and said afrer hearing all comments, Council would determine whether to support the ballot
measure. Mayor Munson asked Finance Director Thompson to give a summary of Initiative ]03i and the
anticipated affects to the budget. Mr. Thompson went over his handout of "Estimating Impacts of
Initiative 1033" with assumptions outlined by the Association of Washington Cities, which was updated

urban counties, the general fund revenues and revenue growth, the general fund revenue with the limit,
the lesser of the general fund revenue limit, the percentage increase in the general fund limit or actual
revenues, the amount over or under the revenue limit, the transfer to lower city property taxes, and
property tax after the lower ciry property tax account transfers; and to summarize, Mr. Thompson said this
initiative would take away our ability to pay for any new service; that the formula allows for a little
population increase and a small increase in property taxes; and Mayor Munson noted that if we have an
increase in our sheriff's office contract of nine percent annually, there would be no funding to cover that;
and Mc Thompson confirmed there would be very little funding to cover it. Mayor Munson invited public
comment.
Speakina for Initiative 1033: Joanne McCann, 2211 East 35 Spokane, 99203
Ms. McCann explained that this is not new but completes the renewal of an initiative passed sixteen years
ago, which formula the State has lived under for several years, which was called Initiative 601; that
Olympian politicians at that time were dedicated to excessive spending and the growth of big govemment,
and 601 was gradually gutted; so this is simply a renewal of what the voters wanted. She said some of the
important things are that the City will probably be able to afford new programs because there aze only
certain things controlled by the formula, and voters can still vote for more money for the city or more
funding for the roads, and that would not affect tbe formula. She said that sixteen years ago politicians
told us that initiative 601 would destroy our schools, but it didn't; and after it was passed schools per
capita were spending more for students, and they do not have larger classes but actually have smaller
classes, and she said she would never want to vote against anything that would hurt the people. She said
there are differences between our initiative and that of the TABOR Colorado initiative; that they are both
tax relief initiatives; TABOR was a Constitutional amendment and not amendable by the legislator; but
1033 is an initiative which allows for legislative change and afrer two yeazs, it can be repealed; that
TABOR included all funding revenues including federal monies and restricted funds, but 1033 does not
include the tax initiatives put to the voters, but only included city, county and state basic budget, and
schools, libraries, and fire districts are not included, and federal funding is not included. Ms McCann then
read the following excerpt from the September 26, 2009 Bellingham Herald article, written by Barry
Poulson, Senior Fellow in Fiscal Policy at the Independence Institute in Golden, Colorado:
"Critics ofren argue that TABOR forced the state to cut spending. The empirical record for state
spending in Colorado refutes this claim. In contract to Califomia, state spending in Colorado has
grown at roughly the rate in the private economy. From 1993 to 2007 real per capita state spending
grew 28% while per capital GDP grew 30%. With an effective .tax and spending limit in place
Colorado has been able to lower tax burdens, creating one of the best business tax climates in the
country. Colorado has attracted more business investment and jobs than most other states. Over the
period since TABOR was passed Colorado has experienced one of the highest rates of economic
growth in the nation. Despite this success, politicians and special interest groups routinely attack
TABOR because it doesdt give them carte blanche authority to tax and spend. Washington
residences would be lucky to have our TABOR amendment. It strengthens fiscal rules and policies
conductive to economic grow[h and prosperity and prevents the kind of fiscal debacle occurring in
California."
Speaking in general regarding Initiative 1033: Art Britton, E 18812 Euclid, Spokane Valley 99207:
He said he is not in favor of any levy at the present time; he said his personal battle since 2007 is to stay
above water, that he can't handle any more; that he asked Mayor Munson about a telephone tax and was
told it didn't have to go before the voters, and said he did not appreciate that; that Iast year his property
taxes were raised way up in 2007, and said he sees this mess coming we got into now; and said he had to
go back to work to keep from sinking, so he is definitely a no.

Mayor Munson invited further comments against the initiative, and then for the initiative, and [here were
no further comments offered. Mayor Munson then opened the floor for council discussion and questions.
Councilmember Gothmann asked Mr. Thompson that if we were to receive $808,000 in grants for doing a
project at an intersection, what happens to the funds relative to 1033; and Mr. Thompson said he feels
1033 would not come into play as that would be a state grant which would be excluded. Mayor Munson
asked about the use of Real Estate Excise Tax (REET) funds for matching funds, and asked how 1033
would affect the use of those funds, and Mr. Thompson said he feels 1033 would not affect us there as the
only thing affected would be the general fund, and REET funds come into construction funds and projects
as our match; but there are several exceptions to the initiative, grant money is one, and transfers from
other city funds are also not included. Mayor Munson said there is a possibility of a 10% inflation next
year, and if the Department of Revenue says we have a population growth of 1.2%, which has been the
average, how does that affect us? Mr. Thompson said it would not be an "either/or" but a combination of
growth, and an eight or ten percent inflation rate would really hurt us as we won't Iikely see the extra
revenue, and even if we did, it would be used to offset other general fund revenues, so there would be no
actual revenue increases but eight or ten percent more expenses because of inflation. Mr. Thompson said
that the general fund is what is used to operate most of our operating costs, such as police, planning,
public works, almost every department except stormwater and street are in the general fund; and any
increase in the general fund revenue, whe[her it comes from property tax or sales tax, would be used to
reduce the property tax. Councilmember Gothmann said if we were to experience twice the amount of
construction, we would theoretically need twice the number of planners to be paid for by these fees; and
Mr. Thompson said whatever the increase in general fund revenue, we would have to reduce our property
tax the following year by the same amount; so we could not use the extra fees for the houses to go on line,
to pay for the planners needed to service that function. Mc Thompson said the fees could be used to pay
the extra planners, but we would still have to reduce the property taxes.
Afrer further council discussion, it was moved by Councilmember Gothmann, seconded and unanimously
passed that the City Council go on record as recommending a no vote to the voters on initrative ]033.
Prior to [he vote, Mayor Munson again invited public comments; and no comments were offered.

7. GSI Presentation of Marketing Plan for the SARP — Robin Toth
Ms. Toth said she appreciates the work the city does on behalf of the Spokane Va(ley citizens; and she
then went through her PowerPoint presentation on their drafr marketing plan for the Sprague Appleway
Revitalization Plan; and said they anticipate doing the plan in phases with a keystone or kick-off project
to use as a catalyst or magnet for additional investment along the corridor. Ms. Toth said tha[ there is
currently some mixed use in the area; but before there can be more retail, infrastructure is needed at the
city center to create that catalyst project; that they intend to include the street improvements in a phased
approach as well, including streetscape, banners, and lighting to create a sense of place; that next week
one of the site selectors will be in the area and she would like to engage some staff in that regard to have a
quick tumover of twelve or eighteen months to start the ball rolling; that they have representatives and
other legislators on board and she is working to get them to think about how they can help fund this
project; perhaps instead of referring to the plan as "SARP" it might be referred to as University Crossing,
or Gateway Plaza, something quick to say; she mentioned the need to create flyers and/or signs to get
people to see information at the site. In response to a question about AutoRow, Ms. Toth said they could
move in a parallel course with the ciTy center and she does not see that as a conflict Mayor Munson asked
Ms. Toth if she would be interested in participating in an ad hoc committee to include Auto Row, one
councilmember, and a citizen, to develop the area in concept, and Ms. Toth indicated her willingness to
do so. Mayor Munson also asked councilmembers to start thinking about ways to give an ad hoc
committee some direction; and said he would like to move forward on this in December. '

8. Update on CIP Levera�Q — Steve Wodey
Public Works Director Kersten, for Mr. Worley, gave a brief history of the capital projects and of some of
the grant funds we received; and said of the $67 million total project costs, our match was approximately
$12 million, which is a"great bang for the buck." Mr. Kersten said all the projects for next year are
funded and have city matches except we are not fully funding the STEP (sewer tank elimination program)
for 2010; that we will have more information next week and at this point, it appears we will need about
$2.6 million in matching funds; that the STEP put about $7.4 million into those residential streets for a
little over $2 million in city funds; that all the sewer projects were on poor roads and roads for[y years old
and the project needed to be done; and Mr. Kersten highlighted some of the larger projects this year.
9. Comp Plan OuaRerl}� Update — GreR McCormick
Planning Manager McCormick said that the Growth Management Act (GMA) allows jurisdictions to
update comprehensive plans no more than once a year, that the City codified this process in our Code
which is consistent with state law; that we published notices in August advising the public of the annual
amendment process and said we will accept comprehensive plan amendment applications for the 2010
cycle through November 2, 2009, since the November 1" deadline date falls on a Sunday this year. He
explained that the notice was posted in [he main reception area of CiTy Hall, the Permi[ Center, and at the

10. CTA OS-09 Amendment — Mike BasinQer
Senior Planner Basinger explained that this is a privately initiated text amendment to the City's Code to
provide density incentives for development that include an affordable housing component in the
Multifamily, Medium Density Residential District; and the Multifamily High Density Residential District,
Corridor Mixed Use, Mixed Use, Mixed Use venue, City Center, and Community Boulevard district
zones. Mr. Basinger explained through his PowerPoint, that affordable housing is integrally connected to
our community's economy, and said that a person earning minimum wage, has far less disposable income
for rent, and these affordable housing units would assist in that regard. Mr. Basinger said this is scheduled
as an ordinance first reading for October 27.

19.35.010 Purpose. The purpose of this chapter is to provide density incentives to residential
developments to help achieve consistency with the Growth Management Act, the City's Comprehensive
Plan, and countywide planning policies for Spokane County.
19.35.020 GeneraL The provisions of this section are available, at the sole discretion of the
property owner, as incentives to encourage construction of housing affordable to low and moderate-
income households for new multifamily developments. In exchange for residential density bonuses, the
development is required to provide a well-designed project with additional amenities contributing to the
quality of life for the residents.
19.35.030 Applicability. This chapter applies to MF-1, MF-2, CMU, MU, MUA, CC, and CB
district zones. Development incorporating affordable housing component may increase the dwelling unit
density in the underlying zone, rounded to the nearest whole number in accordance with 1935.040,
provided that required amenities and site design criteria are met. If the densiry bonus results in an odd
number of housing units, the odd unit must be applied as an afFordable unit. Projects must be a minimum
of riventy units to be eligible for a residential density bonus.
19.35.040 Density Calculations.
A. New multifamily or mixed-use projects may provide affordable units as part of the project. One
bonus market rate unit is permitted for each affordable unit based on the following criteria:
1. Affordable housing units provided to families whose income is at or below 40 percent of
median income may increase the underlying base density by 40 percent.
2. Affordable housing units provided to families whose income is at or below 50 percent of
median income may increase the underlying base density by 30 percent.
3. Affordable housing units provided to families whose income is at or below 60 percent of
median income may increase the underlying base density by 20 percent.
4. Affordable housing developments may increase the underlying base densiTy an additional
10 percent by providing one of the following:
a. LEED certification or equivalent
b. alternative energy
Ordinance 09-032 Page 2 of 4
DRAFT
c. covered bus shelter
d. underground parking
e. other amenities approved by the Director
5. Affordable housing developments may also increase their density by providing additional
amenities in the required useable open space:
a. benches and fountain — an additional increase of density up to 5 percent
b. playground apparatus — an additional increase in density up to 10 percent
c. sport court — an additional increase in density up to ] 0 percent
d. Indoor Recreational Facility — an additional increase in density up to 20
percent
e. other amenities as approved by the Director —additional increase shall not
exceed 10 percent
6. Notwithstanding paragraphs 5(a-e), overall density of a project cannot increase by more
than 60 percent of the underlying zone rounded to next whole number.
19.35.050 Development Standards.
A. The Director may allow the maximum building height to be exceeded by not more than 25
percent
B. The Director may allow exceptions to yard setback requirements where the deviation is for 10
percent or less of the required yard
C. In addition to the open space requirements of SVMC 19.40.020 developments receiving a density
bonus under this Chapter shall provide an additional 5 percent open space (total of 15 percent) to
accommodate the additional residents associated with the residential densiTy bonus.
D. Site Design Criteria. All developments under this provision shall be subject to the following site
design criteria.
1. Natural amenities such as views, significant or unique trees, or grouping of trees, creeks,
riparian corridors, and similar features unique to the site shall be incorporated into the
design.
2. Emphasize, rather than obscure, natural topography. Buildings shall be designed to "step
up" or "step down" hillsides to accommodate significant changes in elevation.
3. Projects shall have design continuity by using similar elements throughout the project
such as azchitecmral style and features, materials, colors, and textures.
4. Placement of physical features such as play equipment shall be in visible locations to
maximize the ability to be seen, and therefore creating a safe environment that
discourages crime.
5. Parking structures shall be arohitecturally consistent with exterior architectural elements
of the primary structure(s); including rooflines, fapade design, and finish materials.
6. Pedestrian pathways and pedestrian areas shall be delineated by separate paved routes
using a variation in paved texture and color, and protected from abutting vehicle
circulation areas with landscaping or other methods.
19.35.060 Siting. The affordable units constructed under the provisions of this chapter shall be
included within the parcel of land for which the density bonus is granted.
19.35.070 Approval. Prior to the issuance of any permit(s), the City shall review and approve the
location and unit mix of the affordable housing units consistent with the following standards:
A. If the affordable housing development has both affordable and market rate units, the affordable
units shall be floating units. A"Floating" designation provides the flexibility to maintain a certain
number of affordable units throughout the required period, allowing the specific units to vary with
availability. The floating units ensure that affordable units are indistinguishable from and interchangeable
with market-rate units;
B. The design and appearance of affordable housing units shall be compatible with the total housing
development and be consistent with design criteria outlined in SVMC 1935.050(D);

BACKGROUND: Following incorporation the City of Spokane Vailey adopted the Spokane
County Shoreline Master Program (SMP) as the interim SMP for the City. The County's SMP

the Department of Ecology (DOE) Shoreline Management Program Guidelines. This will involve
a participation process with the public, local and state agencies and affected tribes; an inventory
of shoreline conditions, analysis of shoreline conditions; assigning or revising proposed
environment designations; development of shoreline goals, policies and regulations for the
SMP, and final review and adoption. The City has budgeted $150,000 to complete the process.
URS Corporation has been selected from a pool of consultants to assist the city with the update,
and a work program has been developed. Staff has prepared a public participation plan that
identifies opportunities for public input throughout the 2009-2010 update process in coordination
with the work program. The plan was developed to meet the requirements of all governing
legislation by providing early and continuous public participation opportunities that include open
houses, public meetings, agency review, and committee review of the goals, policies, and
development regulations, and continuous access to information via an internet web page.
Staff has begun work on the update, but is requesting that the Public Participation Plan for the
2009-2010 Shoreline Master Program Update be accepted by City Council. The draft Public
Participation Plan was presented to the Planning Commission at the Oct. 8, 2009 meeting. The
Commission voted unanimously to recommend acceptance of the draft Plan to the City Council.
Staff requests that the Plan be accepted by Resolution.
OPTIONS: Accept the Plan as recommended by Planning Commission; direct staff to make

� At .he present time, SpoVcane Valley', caseload has the most in tommon with
Spokane County's infraction and vni,deeneaocor caseEoad.
■ Both jurisdictiens have a high pv'oportion of an6rac:ions (70:'e or greater o` total
ca�es) and a high proportion (greater :han �C°'a of misdemeanors) of L+riving-
VJhiltLicense-Svspended case filiags.
■ Reaardless of which service provider operates Spokane Valley court services;
pcfice and detention services are provided by the county - the other two major
cempocxnts of .he criminal jus:ice sy.tem.
■ 7he County is under siqnificant prossure due to citizen initiative-approved property
tax limitations `.0 6emme more cos: effective in providing criminal jus6ce seivices
which reoresent 71°`e of their cuirent expence fund hudqet. Property tax is the
prcdominate qene: al fund e�evenue cource for coanties s.a:ewide (56 percmt of

■ She Ci�y of SFOkane has the second larqect MunicipaV Coui: by caceload in the

Condusions:
■ Based oan case proFlc, the interes� oF Spokane Valley are currently most afigned
MIH7 LI1f D'I. trict Court, Both have higfier than the state averaqe misdemeanar
DNILS cas� filings and a very high proportion o� enfractions in their total
caseload. The City of Spokane has a more divere caseload with a higher
proportion of misdemeanors :han either :he Co�nty or Spokane Valley at the
pres�nt :irne. See Appendix F.
■ It is too early to know how the City of Spokane Municipal Court will comparc to
oEher op:ions in terms of performance and cost. since the re-orqanized court
�rted up in January 2U09.
■ As Spokane Valley's case[oad chanqes over time it may bernme more similar to
Spokane.
Recommendations:
■ The City ;hould con^,ider consolidaGnq its justice servicr conhae� into a sinqle
lonqer-term partnerhip agreement with the Co�nty in order to create an
environmen: tha: wou!�1 allow the parties to de ine and maximize Lheir criminal
j�stice ou:comes.
■ In order Eo direc:ly Ra�icipate in criminal juctice service provicion, the city
s3�ould con.idar brin9ing one component (piroser.utor) of es ju.tice services
contracts ia-house.
■ If Spokane'Jalley : case profile chanqes in the future to rcsemble Spokane or
Spokane prove. :o be more efficient than the county, contradinq between the
two cities may be in their muNal but infercct.

Ordinance 09-_ Street Standards Page ] of 28
Staff is proposing changes to SVMC Titles 17, 1 S, 22, and 24. Changes are necessary because
portions of these sections have engineering technical requirements. These engineering
requirements have been moved to the Street Standards. Additionally, changes are necessary
to address minor inconsistencies, adopt the proposed Street Standards, and add language to
clarify changes in authority due to the re-organization of Community Development and Public
Works.
• Chapter 17.80.030. Changing the reference to the Right-of-way permit in the Table
• Chapter 18.30 and 18.50 Clarifying the authority of the Community Development
Department and Public Works Department. Changes are necessary because of the re-
organization of Public Works and Community Development.
• Chapter 22.20. Deleting portion of Chapter 22.20.080, this information is incorporated in
the Street Standards. Minor changes to language throughout.
• Chapter 22.50. Removing the entire Chapter 22.50.030 and portions of 22.50.040. This
requirement has been moved to the Street Standards.
• Chapter 22.130. Adding language to clarify purpose of chapter, regulated activities,
adopting Street Standards, review process, and authority to impose development
requirements. Clarifying language for reminder of chapter. Removing section for
Regional Pavement Cut Policy, the Street Standards adopt by reference the most
current version of Regional Pavement Cut Policy, a copy of which is attached for
reference.
• Chapter 24.50. The proposal is a complete re-write of the current grading ordinance to
remove confusing information and clarify applicability and requirements for different land
disturbing activities.
Based on comments received on September 24, 2009, Staff is recommending the following
changes to the Planning Commission Recommended draft of the Street Standards:
• Chapter 7— Street Design: Added language allowing exceptions for shared access
requirements when Binding Site Pian Applicant demonstrates site limitations.
• Section 8.6.4: Clarified that a mix design approved within the last 15 months is not
required to be re-verified.
• Section 8.6.5. Changed the asphalt compaction requirements to allow averaging of the
compaction tests and establishing a required minimum of 91 percent compaction.
• Section 8.6.7. Added a reference to a new standard plan.
• Chapter 11 — Added Standard Pla� R-127 Pavement Joint Detail.
OPTIONS: Approve or disapprove
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Council Consensus to bring forth first reading of

GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Ordinance 03-033 adopting the Spokane County
Standards for Road and Sewer Construction (County Standards).
A study session was held on November 4, 2008 with City Council. Staff discussed the
objectives of the Street Standards and the adoption scheduled and focused on the differences
between the proposed City Street Standards and the County Standards.
Staff held a study session on March 26, 2009 and April 9, 2009 with Planning Commission. A
hearing was held on September 24, 2009 with Planning Commission. Planning Commission
recommended approval of the Street Standards generally as submitted on September 24, 2009.
BACKGROUND:
Ordinance 03-033 adopted the Spokane County Standards for Road and Sewer Construction by
reference. Since that time, all development and capital projects have complied with the County's
standards. This provided consistency during the initial years of incorporation. However, the
County standards are focused more on rural developments and have been difficult to work with
on our predominately infill development.
The following are proposed changes to the current street standards:
• Establishing thresholds that trigger requirements for commercial permits
• Requiring that all land divisions improve fronting streets to the applicable standards
• Aliowing modifications to local access streets when existing conditions make full
construction unfeasible for projects that meet infill criteria
• Allowing private streets for projects with less than 10 lots and when a public streets is
nat needed or possible
• Changing the requirements for private driveways and streets to address Fire Code
requirements;
• Requiring connectivity
• Modifying street intersection and approach spacing to improve access management
• Adding traffic calming requirements
• Increasing the minimum pavement thickness for local access streets, private streets and
driveways
• Moving all technical requirements currently in the SVMC to the Street Standards

3.1 INTRODUCTION
This chapter describes the contents of the trip generation and distribution letter and traffic
impact analysis (TIA) submittals. The TIA is a comprehensive report containing a11 of
the technical information and analysis necessary to evaluate a proposed new development
or redevelopment project for compliance with level of service (LOS) standazds. The City
will not sign off on a project until transportation concurrency has been determined.
All projects except those exempt as set forth in the City of Spokane Valley Municipal
Code (SVMC), Title 22.20.020 aze subject to concurrency review.
3.2 TRIP GENERATION & DISTRIBUTION LE'TTER
GLTIDEI,INES
All projects which generate 10 or more new peak hour vehicular trips shall submit a trip
generation and distribution letter. The letter shall be based on the latest edition of the
Institute of Transportation Engineers (ITE) Trip Gene`ration Manual and developed by an
Engineer.
If a project is subject to State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA) review, the trip
generation and distribution letter shall be submitted for review at the time of the SEPA
application.
The letter is required to be approved by the City prior to submittal of a traffic impact
analysis report.
3.2.1 APPLICABILITY
A trip generation and distribution letter is required for most projects. However, the
following projects aze typically under the peak hour threshold and may not be
required to prepare a trip generation and distribution letter:
o Residential sliort plats;
o Multi-family projects with 9 units or less;
• Drive-through coffee stands with no indooi seating;
o Changes of use from residential to commercial with no new buildings or
building additions;

5.1 INTRODUCTION
The purpose of these requirements is to provide the design criteria necessary to preserve
the quality of the City's water courses; minimize surface and ground water quality
degradation; protect adjacent and downstream properry owners from erosion and
flooding; and ensure the safety and stability of the City's streets and right-of-ways. This
chapter provides requirements for all land disturbing activities. The design of temporary
erosion and sediment control (ESC), clearing and grading plans shall conform to the
requirements herein.
Although the conshuction phase of a project is usually corisidered a temporary condition,
construction work may take place over several seasons. All Best Management Practices
(BMPs) used in the course of construction should be of sufficient size, strength, and
durability to readily outlast the expected construction schedule and operate properly.
during the design storm rainfall conditions. Maintenance of these BMPs is mandatory.
Clearing & grubbing permits and grading permits do not allow the disturbance of critical
areas per SVMC Title 21.40 without a scientific report backed by professional study and
acceptance by the City.

DRAFT MODIFIED REGIONAL PAVEMENT CUT POLICY
� Mazch 11, 2008
PURPOSE:
The purpose of this policy is to establish a uniform approach to pavement cuts and repair applicable to
utilities and other contractors working in the public rights-of-way.
POLICIES:
The local agency shall establish a tiered system based on the date of construction or reconstruction of
pavement and may apply also criteria for roadway condition. The policies applicable are as follows:
1. A pavement cut moratorium will be in effect for a period of three years for all new and
reconstructed Tier 1 roadways.
2. The policies for Tiers 2-4 roadways is as follows:
a. Full Policv� Patches/pavine shall extend the full width of an established travel lane.
Pavement cuts shall be full depth and extend 2 feet (2'-0") beyond the nominal trench edge
longitudinally and transversely. There shall be no gaps <_ four feet (4'-0") from curb or gutter.
b. Modified Policv: Patches paving shall extend beyond the wheel path to the middle of the
travel lane. Pavement cuts shall be full depth and extend one foot (1'-0") beyond the nominal
� trench edge longitudinally and transversely.. There shalTbe no gaps <_ four feet (4'-0") from
curb or gutter.
a Trench Onlv: Pavement cuts shall be full depth and extend one foot (1'-0") beyond the
nominal trench edge longitudinally and transversely at all locations within the roadway. No
longitudinal joints shall be located in the wheel path.
3. Tiers Based on Age of Pavement
Revised: 3/11/2008 by S Trabun, Avista 1
Travel Lane: travel lanes shall be established based on striping, or where there is no sh�iping,
shall be rivelve feet (12'-0") in width.
Length of Patch: For this document the length of all patches is the patch dimension parallel to
the roadway.
Width of Patch: For this document the width of all patches is the patch dimension perpendicular
to the roadway.
Assignee: The contractor who is taking out the permit.
Patch: Cut in the pavement as part of the current permitted job.
Potholing: Potholing is the practice of digging a test hole to expose underground utilities to
ascertain the horizontal and vertical location of the facility. The'horizontal and vertical position of
the exposed facility must be tied to a survey benchmazk or permanent above grade feature. The
position may be identified by GPS or traditional survey coordinates or by measuring the distance,
with a tape measure, to permanent featwes in tt�ree horizontal directions. In addition, the vertical
distance below grade should be obtained.
Bell Hole: A hole dug to allow room for workmen to make a repair or connection in bwied pipe,
such as caulking bell-and-spigot pipe or welding steel pipe. A bell hole can also be used for the
starting location of an underground bore, when usin� the d'uectional boring equipment. In the
broad sense, any hole other than a continuous trench opened for working on a buried facility
Compaction: Restoration and backfill of the Trench, Pothole, and Bell hole. Each shall be
compacted in lifts using the indushy standard equipment to tamp the backfill material to 95%
density.
Tier: Age oFasphalt
Full depth: Asphalt depth top to base of asphalt or thickness of asphalt
Gap: Distance between two asphalt patches
Keyhole: New technology for core drilling; used to drill a plug in the asphalt when checking the
depth of existing utilities.
MUTCD: Manual on Uniform Traffic Control Devices: Traffic Control should be set up to
wam and protect the workers and general public by avoiding the working azea during
conshvction. Traffic Conh�ol must meet or exceed the Washington State modifications to the
MUTCD code for all work done with the City Right of Way (see �://mutcd.fhwa.dot.eov
section Chapter 6G and 6I�.
Revised: 3/11/2008 by S Trabun, Avista 3

PC RECOMMENDED DRAFT - CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY STREET STANDARDS
7.1 I1VT�20DUCTIOlV
The design of streets within the City of Spokane Valley shall generally conform to
American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials (AASHTO) and the
State of Washington Department of Transportation (WSDOT) standazds unless modified
herein.
-Some street designs require technical criteria that aze above the scope of this manual and
therefore not covered. In these cases, design manuals from the above referenced agencies
and references listed in Section 1.11 should be used for a basis of design.
The standard plans referenced in this chapter can be found in Chapter 11.
7.2 'I'EIZRAIlV 'I'YPES
Terrain type can be classified as flat, rolling or mountainous.
Flat terrain is the condition where roadway sight distances, as governed by both
horizontal and vertical restrictions, are generally long or could be made to be so without
construction difficulty or major expense. The slope of the existing terrain is from 0
percent to and including 5 percent.
Rolling terrain is that condition where the natural slope rises above and falls below street
grade line consistently. Normal street alignment is restricted some by occasional steep
slopes. The slope of the existing terrain is from 5 percent to and including 15 percent.
Mountainous tenain is that condition where longitudinal and transverse changes in the
elevation of the ground with respect to a street are abrupt and where the roadbed is
obtained by frequent benching or side hill excavation. The slope of the existing tenain
exceeds 15 percent.
7.3 STREE'T TYPES
Streets within the City include public and private streets. Since community needs are
usually best served by streets owned and maintained by the City, most projects aze
required to be accessed via public streets. Private streets may be appropriate for some
local accesses in very limited usage.
For the purposes of these Street Standazds, the following sections provide additional
descriptions of streets.
7.3.1 PLJBLIC S�'A��'d'S
Public streets are owned and maintained by the City. All public streets in the City
have been classified using the Federal Functional Classification system, which
provides a hierarchy, from principal arterials to local access streets, to accommodate
existing and anticipated traffic. Street classifications can be found in the Ciry of
Spokane Yalley Comprehensive Plan.
October 2009 Chapter7—SheetElements

PC RECOMIvIENDED DRAFT - CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY STREET STANDARDS
• Curb, gutter and sidewalk are not required, unless conditioned otherwise; and,
o The pavement area may have an inverted crown at centerline to convey
stormwater into catch basins located at low points in the invert.
Alleys shall wnnect to a private or public. street at each end. In cases where this is
not feasible, adequate tumazounds shall be provided. Alleys can be located in the
public right-of-way or a private easement.
7.3.4 PRIVATE DRIVEWAYS
Private driveways provide veluculaz access to one lot. Private driveways shall
comply with the following:
e Private driveways longer.than 75 but less than 150 feet in length shall
meet the requirements for width, grade and signing as private streets (See
Table 73);
o Private driveways longer than 150 feet shall be engineered and meet the
requirements for width, grade, and signing as private streets (See Table
73); .
� Private driveways longer than 750 feet shall only be allowed when
approved by the Fire Department.
Structures accessed by a private driveway and which are not visible from the public
street shall post an address at the street. Addresses shall be permanent by nature and
the numbeis shall be a minimum of 4 inches tall, '/z inch stroke, and contrasting wlor
to the background.
Driveways shall not extend off the end of an azm of the hammerhead turn-azound.
'�.4 ' I$[�I.F+-S'd'12EE'�' g1YIPI�O�7E1Vb�+ 1�I�'S
A half-street is required as an interim facility. Half-street improvements are required for
a property fronting a public street that is not currently built to City standards. Half-street
construction may also be required for property that abuts future streets proposed in the
City's Arterial or Local Street Plan.
When half-street nnprovements aze required, the design of the half-street shall be
consistent with the existing street classification or as dictated by the City's 6-yeaz
Transportation Ixriprovement Plan (TIP) or City Street Plans. This requires conshuction
of more than half the street for safety and drainage reasons. Construction in these
circumstances requires a minunum of one travel lane on the opposite side of the roadway

requirements.
On shouldered streets, a minimum space of 5 feet shall be provided between the catch
point of the side slope and the right-of-way line for the installation of utility poles,
fences, sloped rounding, etc. Depending ori site conditions, this may require
additional right-of-way, retaining walls, or other requirements. The maximum slope
of this space shall be 3:1.
Slope easements shall be granted to the City when required by tenain or design
features.
7.6.4 CI,EAR ZONE
Cleaz zone is defined as a relatively flat area void of fixed objects or obstructions
beyond the edge of the traveled way that allows drivers to stop safely or regain
control of a vehicle that leaves the traveled way. This azea may consist of a shoulder,
a recoverable slope, a non-recoverable slope, and/or a clean run-out area. The desired
minimum widit'i is dependent upon traffic volumes, traffic speeds, side slopes, and the
street geometry.
A recoverable slope is a slope on which a motorist may retain or regain control of a
vehicle by slowing or stopping. Slopes flatter than 4:1 are generally considered
recoverable.
A non-recoverable slope is considered to be traversable but on which an enant
vehicle continues to bottom. Embaukment slopes between 3:1 and 4:1 may be
considered traversable but non-recoverable if they are smooth and free of fixed
objects.
A clear run-out azea is the azea at the top of a non-recoverable slope available for safe
use by an enant vehicle. Slopes steeper than 3:1 are not considered traversable and
are not considered part of the clear zone.
For streets with Type B or Type A curb, the following is requued:
• Sidewalk adjacent to the curb - Rigid objects shall be placed 2 feet behind
the sidewalk;
o Senazated sidewalk - Rigid objects shall be no closer than 2 feet from the
back of the curb;
o No sidewalk - Rigid objects shall be no closer than 2 feet from the back of

PC RECOMIvIENDED DRAFT - CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY STREET STANDARDS
8.1 INTRODUC'TION
Tlus chapter provides the minimum requirement for the design of pavement sections for
Vavelways within the City. The use of these design criteria will ensure that paved
transportation corridors aze improved in a uniform and consistent manner.
The requirements presented in this chapter have been established to minimize structural
failures in streets, due to traffic loadings and/or existing soils conditions.
�
8.2 STR�E'T CI,ASSIFICATION
All public streets in the City have been classified using the Federal Functional
Classification system, which provides a hierazchy from principal arterials to local access
streets, to accommodate existing and anticipated tra�a Street classifications can be
found in the City of Spokane Valley Coniprehensive Plan.
A streeYs classification is used to determine the volume and mix of vehicles for which it
is designed. In cases where a street has yetto be designated a specific classification,the
anticipated tr�c volume should be used.
If available, the City may provide the anticipated daily traffic for a street. However, the
Applicant may be required to obtain additional tr�c information.
8.3 STREET PAVEMEN'I' AND SUBGRADE
8.3.1 TRAVELWAYS IN RESIDENTIAL ZONES
The requirements of this section apply�to local access streets, private streets, alleys,
axid private driveways located in residential zones.
� For the purpose of pavement design, the engineering characteristics of the subgrade
soil shall be determined through laboratory testing. Laboratory testing consisting of
California Bearing Ratio (CBR) testing, Resilient Modulus (M�) testing or Resistance
Value (R-value) testing may be used to characterize the subgrade soil supporting
capability.
A minimum street section of 3 inches of hot mix asphalt (fIMA) over 6 inches of
properly placed and compacted crushed rock is required for local access streets,
private streets, and alleys regazdless of native soils. A minimum pavement section of
2 inches of HMA over 6 inches of crushed rock is required for private driveways.
A soils investigation is required for all projects. The minimum pavement section
cannot be used for sites with poor subgrade soils, which are soils that meet any of the
criteria below:
o Have CBR less than 3;
o Have R-values less than 20;
October 2009 Chapter 8 Pavement Design
8-1
PC RECOMMENDED DRAFT - CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY STREET STANDARDS
Any street section which cannot be compacted to the degree specified above shall be
removed to a depth of 2 feet or to a depth where the pumping ceases, or as d'uected by
the Onsite Inspector, and replaced with granular imported material that can be
compacted to at least 95 percent of the maximum density as deternuned by ASTM D-
1557, or as directed by the Onsite Inspector.
- Prior to placing any sub-base or base materials, geo-textile fabric on the subgrade
may be required if the existing subgrade is a fine-grained soil (ML, CL, MH, or CI�.
The geotextile fabric shail meet the criteria in Section 933 for "Separation" of the
most current version of the WSDOT Standard Specifications. If the material is
unsuitable, the soil shall be excavated below grade and compacted per WSDOT
Standard Speciftcation 2-033(3) and 2-033(14) Method C.
8.4 ENGINEERED PAVEMEN'T PARAIVIETERS
Engineered pavement designs shall be in accordance with the 1993 AASHTO Guide for
Design of Pavensent Structures for flexiblA pavements and the following criteria:
8.4.1 'TRAFFYC PARAMETERS
The existing tr�c levels shall be increased to match the projected tr�c at the end
of the street design life. The minimum design life shall be 20-yeazs. The growth rate
is 1.5 percent for residential streets and 3.5 percent for commerciaUindustrial streets
and arterial streets. The 1.5 percent growth rate may be waived in closed subdivisions
with City approval. This growth rate shall only be used for pavement design
purposes and shall not be used for traffic analyses.
The engineer shall submit Equivalent Single-Axle Loads (ESALs) calculations. The
truck factors found in Table 8.1 may be used in the absence of other information.

AASHTO — American Association of State Highway and Transportation Officials
BSP — Binding Site Plan
Clearview Triangle — Corner area at a intersection or driveway approach which must be free from sight obstructions, such as
landscaping, parked vehicles, buildings, fences, etc.
Corner clearance — the distance measured along the curb line from the projection of the intersecting driveway and the
intersection curb return edge
CSTC — Crush surtacing top coarse
CSV — City of Spokane Valley
CTED — The Washington State Community, Trade, and Economic Development Department
Frontage Improvements — requirement to bring existing street to applicable standard. Developer is required to improve the
side of the street fronting the project. Fronting improvements typically include pavement widening, curb & gutter,
swale, sidewalk, and dedication of ROW and border easements
HMA — Hot mix asphalt
LID — Local Improvement District
Regional Pavement Cut Policy — Policy developed by regional committee to protect new or newly paved streets that
imposes a pavement cut moratorium for three years.
ROW — Right-of-way
Stacking/Queue Length — Stacking length is the area in the drive aisle that must be kept clear so vehicles can maneuver

What are the Street Stanclards?
The Street Standards is a technical manual that:
� Addresses goals and policies of the adopted CSV Comprehensive
Plan (Comp Plan) related to Transportation
� Establishes Development Engineering street-related improvement
requirements for land actions and building permits
� Establishes technical requirements for
� Street Design
� Materials
� Construction techniques
� Inspection and certification of public and private improvements
� Maintenance of public and private improvements
� Improves emergency access
� Provides conformity to existing and future streets
� Establishes criteria for the use of private streets vs public streets
� To be used with Spokane Regional Stormwater Manual to regulate
the engineering elements of development projects
V1/h Adopt Street �tandards?
y
� To meet the goals and policies contained in the CSV Comp Plan.
� To make changes to the Spokane County Standards for Road and
Sewer Construction (County Standards) which the City adopted
upon incorporation. County Standards:
— Lack specific information regarding requirements for building
permits
— Work better for rural areas and not for in-fill development
— Do not provide guidance for whether residential streets should be
publicly owned or privately owned
— Are not specific in many areas of street layout and design
— Are not organized well
� To incorporate technical requirements in SVMC Titles 17, 18, 20,
22, and 24. All street related engineering technical requirements
will be in the Street Standards.
Com p Plan Goals and Pol icies
� Transportation goals and policies in the Comp Plan require the
establishment of design standards for transportation facilities (TG-1)

Spo� PARKS AND RECREATION
j�l�y' THIRD QUARTER REPORT 2009
- �
.�
;
ADMINISTRATION AND PARKS:
. A ground-breaking ceremony was held in ]uly for the new Discovery Playground.
Appropriately themed "Exploring Eastern Washington," the playground's features
engage sight, sound, touch and smell and is accessible for people of all abilities.
The playground is on schedule to be completed November 2009, except for some
landscaping. Opening will be in Spring 2010.
. After years of discussion and much coordination, The Spokane Valley Arts Council
purchased and presented to the City of Spokane Valley the city's first piece of public
art. "Working the Line" is a tall, bronze sculpture of a 19th century trapper by
Colville artist, Jerry McKeller. The sculpture is located on the south end of the
Mirabeau Point Park campus.
. A Request for Proposals for operation, maintenance, and programming of our three
aquatics facilities was issued in September. The Valley YMCA was the sole
respondent.
. Detailed Contract Provisions for a new Park Maintenance Contract were developed
and the bid package was issued for bidding. The proposed contract term is for a
period of one year with up to six one-year renewal options and will commence
January 1, 2010. There were five contractors who responded and were placed on
the Pian Holders List as of the end of September.
. Staff continued to work on the funding of Greenacres Park.
. The Parks survived the summer season well. Reservations and park usage
increased over 16% this summer; however, please note no reservations were taken
in 2008 for Valley Mission Park due to renovation. With the presence of our Park
Ambassador, park events and reservations ran smoother and we received positive
feedback. We increased our communication with citizens, and they became more
aware of our rules and regulations. With the help of our Police Dept., issues with
transients at Sullivan Park and Balfour Park were more controlled. The playground
and shelter improvements at Valley Mission Park, along with the pool features,
proved to be very popular and appreciated.
. Senske, our maintenance contractor, did an outstanding job with the maintenance
of our parks and facilities. Communication was strong, and they were very
responsive to our needs and issues that occurred from day-to-day.
i
CENTERPLACE:
. Electronic reader boards were installed in the lobby of CenterPlace. They were so well
received by the public and the seniors that a third reader board was installed in the
Senior Center reception area.
. We worked with Valleyfest to move more activities to CenterPlace. The classic car show,
1� Annual Taste of the Valley wine tasting event, and Palouse Science Center
Planetarium were all a huge success and brought many people to our building.
. Planters were placed on the front walkway for beautification and safety reasons. People
were using the sidewalk as a driveway to pick up people at the front door or to load/
unload their vehicles of items, which posed a safety hazard.
. Carol Carter started a Facility Coordinators Networking group that meets every other
month to talk about common problems and potential solutions, as well as, to tour each
other's facility. This is aiso a great resource opportunity. The Mirabeau Park Hotel,
Spokane Convention Center, Lincoln Center, Beacon Hill Events, Glover Mansion, Lincoln
Center, Spokane County Fairgrounds, and The Service Station have all shown interest in
attending the meetings.
. CenterPlace staff took 73 reservations this quarter which is a 10% increase for the same
time period last year. The breakdown of 2006-2009 events are as follows:

During the Walk, the group stopped at the S.C.O.P.E. Station where Chief VanLeuven
spoke briefly and presented the station to the group. He talked about the success of the
Weed & Seed Project and the benefits of that progam to the communiry.
o It was announced in mid-September that all members of the Command Staff of the
Spokane County Sheriff's Office will forego their 2010 cost of living raises in an effort to
reduce the number of positions that may be cut because of declining county revenues.
Because part of the raises for the undersheriffs and captains, including Chief VanLeuven,
is paid by the City of Spokane Valley, they will see a savings in their law enforcement
budget as well.
e Chief VanLeuven attended the Drug Endangered Children (DEC) National Conference
hosted in Spokane on September 22-24, 2009. There were attendees from 30 states, 13
tribal nations and Canada. Pre-conference workshops included Medical, Tribal and Core
DEC Training. The opening ceremony featured the honor guard and a number of
welcomes including one from Chief VanLeuven. There were 3 plenary sessions and 24
breakout sessions discussing DEC issues of: medical and environmental response; tribal
and community; law, justice and collaboration; and prevention, intervention and

SCOPE is conducting patrols of elementary schools where children aze walking to school with
no bus service. Several of our stations provide extra vehicle patrols as students go to and from
school on a daily schedule. These are primarily elementary and some middle schools. The
primary emphasis is student safety but our volunteers are also seen as a visible deterrent as they
drive through the neighborhoods in the retired sheriff cazs. We are currently looking at
providing even more patrols for schools that have no bus service, because of the greater safety
concerns from traffic and possible predators. In addition to the vehicle patrols, some of our
stations also provide assistance for school crossing guazds at busy intersections. The lazgest
amount of complaints received is for speeding vehicles on the neighborhood streets. We try to
get to these with radar equipment and patrolling.

OPERATIONS:
♦ Transient with a Potenrial Weapon
We continue to monitor the transients in the Spokane Valley. Mid-month, deputies were
called to WalMart reference a group of transients by the Gazden Center, one of which, it was
reported, who may have a gun. It was later determined that the realistio-looking shotgun was
actually a toy; however, due to the individual who possessed the toy gun being intoxicated
and WalMart personnel fearful of the individual displaying the "toy" to patrons of the store,
the toy shotgun was placed on police property for safekeeping and information given to the
individual on how he could retrieve the item at a later time. All persons in the group were
trespassed from the Wa1Mart. There also continues to be a number of minor incidents with
transients in general hanging around the Wa1Mart, with the majority of them trespassed from
the store grounds. SVPD continues to monitor this azea.
♦ Man Dies in Train Collision
A 38-yeaz-old Spokane man died the 1 5t of September while walking on BNSF Railway
tracks neaz Trent and Park Road. According to witnesses, the man was carrying a grocery
bag containing beer when he was struck by a westbound freight train about 40 minutes after
midnight. It's believed that he was not aware of the oncoming freight train and the death was
accidental.
o Robbery
A young female coming home just after midnight to her apartment on East Shannon was
robbed at gunpoint. She noticed the black male walking through the pazking lot as she
entered the complex. As she exited her car and began to approach the stairway, the black
male produced a gun and stole her purse and cell phone. A neighbor was neazby to whom
the female yelled that she had been robbed. He allowed the victim to use his cell phone to
ca119-1-1. The investigation is on-going.
♦ Raid Nets Stolen Shotgun/Electronics
Fifty-some officers, detectives and investigators from azea law enforcement and fue agencies
raided five Spokane Valley apartments mid-month in seazch of property stolen in more than
30 residential burglaries committed in the Pines Road/I-90 corridor during the month of
August. Detectives recovered a stolen shotgun, stolen computers, a stolen camera and a
small amount of marijuana when they executed the seazch warrants on four apartments on
North Cherry and a single apartment on East Montgomery. The investigation began back in
August when Sheriff's Office analysts noticed a spike in burglaries and vehicle break-ins in
the Pines/I-90 corridor. The burglaries were primarily being committed during the day when
no one was at home in the victim apartments. Detectives believe a group of 13 and 14-yeaz-
old teens were knocking on the front doors of ground-floor apartments and when no one
answered, went to the back and cut or removed screens from windows. The thieves would
enter only briefly, taking electronic games, cash, jewelry and computers or other electronic
items. Some of the stolen property was pawned, but detectives working with analysts and
patrol officers who work the area developed information that some of the property might still
be inside the apartments raided. In addition to assistance from Washington State Patrol,
Page 5
Sheriff's Office, and Spokane Valley Police detectives division, Spokane Valley Fire
investigators also participated due to several arson fues that had occurred in the corridor
during the same period. Only two weeks prior to this event, Chief VanLeuven had briefed
the Spokane Valley City Council on how his agency and the Sheriffls Office are using a
newly formed analysis unit to determine "hot spots" in criminal activity, and the Pines/I-90
corridor was one of the areas he used to explain the concept to council members.
♦ Neighborhood Response
We received a thank you email from a Valley Citizen in eazly September. In the eazly
moming hours, she heard kids tipping over gazbage cans on 5`�' between McDonald and east
of Blake. An officer responded and contacted the house to where the kids were seen
returning. The neighbor commented, "I know it seems petty, but maybe these kids will think
twice... they don't know who is watching and might call them in." She stated that they have
had a few acts of vandalism over the yeazs and if police presence can help deter any of it,
she'll request it. She was very appreciative of the job our officers do.
o Phillip Paul Escape
Eastem State Hospital escapee Phillip Amold Paul, 47, walked away from a day trip to the
Spokane County Fair sometime azound 11 a.m. Thursday September 17`�', but his escape was
not reported to the sheriff's office until 1:15 p.m., allowing him at least a two-hour head start
on the score of deputies, detectives and undercover investigators who scoured the fairgrounds
for hours after he was reported missing. Investigators believed he immediately fled the
fairgrounds and began walking westbound toward his pazents' home in Sunnyside, WA.
ESH staff advised he posed little danger unless he was at lazge more than 48 hours. After
that amount of time, his medication would weaz off and he could become violent if
confronted. Investigators issued a statewide a]ert to police agencies regazding Paul's escape
and likely destination. While security at the fairgrounds is typically increased during hours
of dazkness, extra patrols were brought in Thursday night to allay any feazs that Paul was still
in the vicinity.
Paul was captured outside of Goldendale, Washington about 4 p.m. on Sunday, September
20`�. Investigators from the Spokane, Yakima and Klickitat County Sheriff's Offices,
Spokane Police Department, Department of Corrections and U.S. Mazshal's Office had been
scouring any location known to Paul since he was court-ordered to Eastem State a8er being
judged criminally insane and incompetent to stand trial for a murder. Late Saturday,
information was received that Paul had been given a ride to the Goldendale, Washington
azea. Investigative teams judged the tip credible and began relocating to that community
starting about 3 a.m. Sunday moming. Because they lacked jurisdiction in Klickitat County,
Spokane County sheriff's personnel went there in support of the U.S. Mazshal's O�ce which
assumed the lead in the hunt. The sheriff's helicopter was dispatched to assist, and
investigators there Sunday evening said it was the constant pressure from the helicopter that
chased Paul out of the timber in which he was hiding and into a failed attempt to hitch
another ride out of the area. A motorist spotted Paul attempting to flag down a ride and
alerted police. It was Detective Roger Knight, his partner Det. Mazk Renz, and Detective
Sergeant Bill Beeman who found the suspect standing in the roadway about 4 p.m. Sunday.
They quickly arrested him without incident.
Page 6
It was Detective Knight who was injured by Paul in a failed escape attempt in 1990. Paul
fled from a field trip to Medical Lake and began heading southwest towazd the family home
in Sunnyside. Deputies responding to the report of a suspicious person in the Fishtrap Lake
azea found and arrested him. While booking him into the Spokane County Jail, Paul
suddenly attacked Knight, knocking him down and unconscious and injuring his shoulder so
severely it required surgery to coaect. When Knight leamed of Paul's second escape
Thursday moming, he volunteered to lead the Spokane County effort to fmd and re-arrest the
suspect. Pau] was taken from the site of his arrest to the Yakima County Jail and retumed to
Eastern State Hospital a short time later.
The Sheriff's Office and Spokane Valley Police spent $20,834.88 in overtime, $8,652.87 in
regulaz salary, and $7,873.41 in costs associated with the sheriff's helicopter. Investigators
and air crews spent $133.88 on meals, for a grand total of $37,495.03. While the sheriff
acknowledges that seazch and arrest activities aze already funded in lus budget, he maintains
that these costs were expenditures that only arose based on questionable Eastern State
Hospital policies and procedures.
o Fire Hydrant Mischief
A 19-yeaz-old Spokane Valley man was booked into the Spokane County Jail on September
19� after he used a pilfered fue department wrench to open 10 or more fire hydrants
throughout the Spokane Valley. An officer watched as the suspecYs vehicle pulled to the
side of the roadway, killed its lights, and then took off again moments later. The officer
noted on his radaz that the vehicle was doing 37 mph in a posted 25 mph zone and the driver
failed to signal a turn. The driver, when stopped, exhibited signs of intoxication and was
ultimately arrested for DUI. While being processed for the DUI chazge, he told the officer he
had been involved in the hydrant issue and that a fire department wrench was inside the caz.
As all four passengers were also e�chibiting signs of alcohol consumption, and all were
underage, officers seazched the car for more evidence of the drinking violation. They found
the wrench, which one passenger said had been left on a hydrant by firefighters. The driver
of the vehicle was booked on a felony count of First-Degree Malicious Mischief and
misdemeanor counts of Minor in Possession of Alcohol and Possession of Marijuana. Five
companions, some of them juveniles, remain under continuing investigation by the Spokane
Valley Fire Department.

Memorandum
To: Mike Jackson, Deputy City Manager
From: John Whitehead, Human Resources Manager ,{,.�
/�
Date: October 19, 2009
Re: WeIlCity Award
The purpose of this memo is to provide information concerning the City's possible application
for the We11City Award through the Association of Washington Cities (AWC).
Beginning in 2012, the AWC will be offering a 2% discount off their Regence B1ueStueld/Asuris
plan premiums to those member Cities achieving the "We11City Awazd". AWC has created a
list of standards that organizations will be compared to in order to receive the Award and those
standards will be used as a point system to rate each organization's wellness program. Currently
Spokane Valley meets 47 of the required 90 points needed for the awazd.
Costs and Benefits
AWC determines health care premium costs based upon what they are charged by the particulaz
plan provider. Regence/Asuris computes those rates using an experience rating that measures the
frequency in which employees access health caze services under the Regence/Asuris plans. The
lower the rating, the lower the costs AWC must cover and pass on to members. AWC research
shows a connection between wellness program activities and the decrease in the rate in which
members are using their health benefits. AWC has developed the We1lCity Award program to
increase wellness participation thereby lowering their plan costs. These savings then can be
passed on to member cites in the form of lower premiums and to further support wellness
programs. It is important to note that Group Health does not have an experience rating system
and so is not currently in this program.
One requirement for application for the WellCity Awazd is to allocate a budget of at least $10
per employee per year for the wellness program. The City's projected budget using this rate
would be approximately $920/yeaz; however it can be reduced by the funds received from AWC
in the form of wellness grants. In 2008 the City received $435 from AWC grants for our
employees' participation in vazious wellness activities. Additionally, if the City chose to pursue
the Award, we would also meet the requirements for the other fmancial awazds through AWC.
The "Wellness Incentive Program" is one such awazd designed as a one-time grant to assist cities
in developing their wellness programs. This grant would provide $20 per employee or
approximately $1,840 in total. Once the City meets the requirements of the incentive grant we
would then be eligible in 2011 for the "Matching Grant" of $840 where the costs to the City for
wellness programs would be matched by AWC up to the maximum limit above.
In 2010 the AWC will assess wellness programs and present the awazds to those cities reaching
the minimum tt�reshold to merit the award. These awards would be presented to the participating
cities in March of 2011. AWC would then provide those organizations a 2% reduction in their
2012 Regence/Aswis plan premiums. Using the CiTy's current expenditures for AWC
"HealthfirsP', which is provided by Regence B1ueShield, the 2% award would be $8,947/yr. As
stated above, since Group Health, the provider for the other plan provided by the City, does not
calculate an experience rating, there would not be a cost savings far the City's expenditures for
that health plan.
In addition to the savings from decreased benefits costs, there are a number of other benefits to
improving the health of City employees. AWC has conducted research that shows significant
employer gains in this azea. These include an average 28% reduction in absenteeism, an average
30% reduction in worker's compensation and disability claims and an overall $3.50 to $1 return
on investment in programs that are designed to lower employee health risks.
Award Reauirements
There are a ntunber of standards involved in the AWC We1lCity award. Some standards are
optional; however, the maj ority are required. In order to be eligible for the awazd an
organization must have both a minimum of 90 points and have met all of the required standazds.
The attachment to this memo identifies the standards the City would need to achieve in order to
receive the rewazd. Although this list appears to be lengthy, due to the evolution of the current
City wellness activities, it is anticipated the City can reach this goal by the end of March 2010 if
desired. Primarily the requirements of AWC would involve gaining endorsements from Council
and senior management, policy development, establishing a wellness budget and in forming and
training a wellness committee.
Recommendations:
It is recommended the City pursue the AWC WellCity Award, Wellness Incentive and Matching
Grants. The expected fmancial, employee health and productivity benefits in attainment of these
grants/awazd outweigh the anticipated City resources needed to establish and maintain our
program. With the City Manager's approval, the program would be managed out of the Human
Resources Office similar to current wellness related activities. Human Resources would begin
formulating the wellness plan and coordinating the various requirements of AWC.
