Chief VanLeuven introduced Matt Lyons with the Sheriff's Office, newly appointed Precinct Commander for the Spokane Valley Police Department, and said that he has worked for the Sheriff's Office for about seventeen years and has been promoted through the majority of the ranks; and said he appreciates having him as the Precinct Commander. Council welcomed and greeted Commander Lyons. 1. Spokane Valley Arts Council Update — Dr. James Harken Dr. Harken extended greetings from the Arts Council and gave a brief history of the formation of the Spokane Valley Arts Council, he said their council incorporated as a 501C3 within three or four months of this City's incorporation; they began as a group of seven people interested in the arts, they met in homes for a few months and discussed ways to bring the arts to this area. He explained that the group initially met at the Chamber of Commerce office, then eventually formed its by -laws and articles of incorporation, he said that Nonna Ventrus was of great assistance in that regard; and once the Council was formed, Valleyfest innovator Peggy Doering asked them about including arts in the Valleyfest. Dr. Harken said he has many art contacts in the area and throughout the nation, and within a short time put together an arts show and actually turned a profit the first year; he said they refined their system over the years and turned a profit each year; and that one of the results is the "Walking the Line" sculpture next to Discovery Place, and he acknowledged the assistance also of then Parks and Recreation Director Mike Jackson as well as current Parks and Recreation Director Mike Stone. Dr. Harken said they were asked to fill the showcases at CenterPlace, and did so with the involvement of the schools, local artists, community colleges, and with items from Dr. Harken's collection, which he said were not for sale. He said the entire exhibit changes every three months and that over the years, they have never had the same piece exhibited twice. Dr. Harken said they now have a new sculpture entitled "Harvest Time on the Big Missouri " which is also called "Berry Picker" and "The Berry Girl" by artist Nancy McLaughlin. Dr. Harken said the artist passed away in 1985, but with the family's permission, Dr. Harken purchased the copyright and received approval to have an eight -foot version of the statute completed, and to have several twelve -inch versions Council Meeting Minutes: 4 -06 -2010 Page 1 o/'7 Approved by Council: DRAFT made, each selling for $1575, complete with plates and numbers, to use those funds to help pay for the large sculpture. Dr. Harken said they are working with schools and talking about putting "teachers in residence" as school art departments have been deleted over the years; he said they are still in the talking stage and he will keep council posted; and he mentioned the Arts Council supports all the arts, including the local annual dance fest. Several councilmembers remarked on the great works of art in CenterPlace, and of the wonderful sculpture planned and already in place in CenterPlace; and Dr. Harken was thanked for his and his Council's work and dedication to the arts. 2. Collaborative Planning, Boundary Review Board — Susan Winchell, Brett Sheckler Boundary Review Board Director Susan Winchell and Berk & Associates Consultant Brett Sheckler discussed the December 2009 "Collaborative Planning Implementation in Spokane County's Metro Urban Growth Area" (UGA) report; Ms. Winchell said they also briefly met with the Mayor this morning; she said that the Boundary Review Board (BRB) handled city annexations; that they eventually were awarded a grant connected with cities interested in influencing land use within the UGA, and that cities wanted influence so when developments occurred in adjacent boundaries, cities would be contacted; she said the County didn't want to relinquish some areas to cities until they could get on a stronger financial footing. She said during the summer of 2008, they met with various Councils and Planning Commissions and different ideas were proposed for development regulations; she said the County directed their staff to make changes like eliminating private roads adjacent to cities thereby increasing the relationship between the subdivision and the roads between the Countv and the cities, and making the County more in line with what cities had, and giving cities earlier notice about upcoming developments. Mr. Sheckler then went through his PowerPoint presentation, and explained that they are looking for "win -win" solutions to local and regional challenges; he said most counties are under severe stress by two interwoven challenges: heavy reliance on property taxes with an eroding revenue stream, and city annexations which work against the county's financial interest; he said Spokane Valley and Liberty Lake incorporations put Spokane County in an unprecedented position, and he said given these challenges, it is not surprising to see interjurisdictional friction, thus the need for collaborative planning. He explained about the goals of collaborative planning to give cities mechanisms to influence development in adjacent UGAs, and to provide the County with a fiscally sustainable service delivery /revenue structure. He spoke of Spokane County's main source of regional revenues eroding, he asked what are the revenue options, and what direction does the County want to pursue, adding that cities have decisions about how and under what circumstances they will play a role in assisting the County to achieve a stronger fiscal footing. Mr. Sheckler said the next phase includes exploration of revenue /service options; and to hold a series of meetings with stakeholders to discuss the various options, to draft a white paper outlining the issues and options, and then final presentation of alternatives; and said his goal is to engage with policy makers and pull together a strategy which will be acceptable to all. Mayor Towey acknowledged and welcomed Commissioner Todd Mielke to the meeting. Ms. Winchell said the next steps are to build development strategies for fiscal sustainability for the County, and said cities will be involved and be part of the solution; that they will need a technical investigation of the options and will talk with cities about ideas and processes and goals in developing such a strategy; then the idea is to come up with something everyone can agree with, which process she said will necessitate many meetings. Mr. Sheckler said the first steps are to make sure cities weigh -in and come to some level of comfort on what cities believe is in the best interests of the County as a region; and said possibly to seek a new taxing effort for the County like a utility taxing authority for the unincorporated area, and said that idea has had some traction in Olympia but has not passed yet; and said it is possible to have a county and City joint effort to push that forward to give the county some tools to start to tackle the issue of local services. 3. Snow Operations /Maintenance Facility — Neil Kersten Public Works Director Kersten said that this past winter was one of the lowest snow years ever, and said that this topic was discussed at the February retreat concerning options on how to proceed. Mr. Kersten Council Meeting Minutes: 4 -06 -2010 Page 2 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT explained the three options briefly, said that Council had indicated a preference to pursue option 41, and that now he would like to discuss that option in greater detail; and to determine if there is consensus afterwards to move ahead; adding that although this would come under the authority of the city manager, because of the complexities of the issue, he said he would bring this back for final council approval. Mr. Kersten explained that option one is to continue with the current plan with minor changes; to hire one additional full -time mechanic /operator; monitor future years to see if additional full -time or part- -time staff are needed, to purchase the Waste Management facility currently leased to us, and to purchase one additional surplus WSDOT (Washington State Department of Transportation) truck/plow /sander and one new truck /plow /sander in 2010. Concerning the contractor, Mr. Kersten said he plans to get that contract in early fall and said he has the funds available for this effort, and said that developing a request for proposals for the operations contract is a three to four month process. Regarding the currently leased Waste Management property, Mr. Kersten said the size is 1.6 acres and zoned Corridor Mixed Use; it contains an employee office with a break room and storage area of over 2,400 square feet; he said it includes a break room and lockers, was built in 1955 and is in fair condition. Mr. Kersten said the shop building is over 2,400 square feet, was built in 1972 and is in poor condition and will need some repair in the near future, it has three large bays to handle the snow plow trucks, but has holes in the siding and about 50% of the installation has fallen off the walls; the mechanical system is marginal but said he does not see it as a large effort to bring it up to standards; and said Council may want to consider exempting that facility from the city zoning requirements in order to give the freedom to do what is needed for a maintenance operation, he said this is a very unique operation and he showed a map of the area. Mr. Kersten said the appraised value of the lot is $530,000, that it was appraised last summer and the appraiser feels the value will not change significantly; and Mr. Kersten said the site will be used for street maintenance and stormwater, so each fund could pay for half of the expense, and said there are adequate funds to handle that. Mr. Kersten discussed hiring one full -time mechanic /operator, said that the new position would be jointly funded by the Street and Stormwater Funds, and said the stormwater prograin needs additional help for sweeping and vactoring work during the summer; and that the private snow operations contract could be reduced to reflect the increase in cost for the position during the winter months. Mr. Kersten also discussed the purchase of one new truck/plow. /sander at an estimated cost of $200,000; and the purchase of one new loader /backhoe, which would be used for loading deicer in the winter and storm water work in the summer at an approximate purchase cost of $90,000; and said with the low snow year, there should be sufficient funds to purchase that equipment within the approved 2010 budget. Mr. Kersten explained about his current staff structure of two: one for stormwater and one for streets; and said there is a lot of work to keep another person busy to manage sweeping and repairs. He further explained that he would like to begin the process to purchase the new truck, as even with the light snow last winter, trucks break down and blades brake or other systems become a problem and if we have a harsh winter, it will be even more critical; and said there are funds available to make these purchases without use of the reserves; adding that it will take some time to purchase and if council concurs, he would like to move ahead. Discussion included the suggestion to have councilmembers tour the current facility, and Mr. Kersten said councilmembers can contact him to make those arrangements. The current lease was also discussed and Mr. Kersten explained that the lease is a monthly lease; that the owners would not give us the option to buy and said they were not excited to rent the facility as they prefer to sell it; and it is currently on the market for sale; and if the property sold, they would give us ninety day's notice to vacate. Mr. Kersten said if he were looking around the area for a site to purchase, this would not be the ideal site, but said the size is adequate, and the location is optimal as it is in the middle of the city, which makes it more efficient when it comes to trucks coming back to refuel and add ice slicer, as opposed to driving another twenty or thirty minutes to the industrial area or the north side of town; and said the site also has great access to Sprague and Pines, and said we won't find another site in the city center, and said the price is a good Council Meeting Minutes: 4 -06 -2010 Page 3 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT price as well. [ Editor's Note: After this meeting, Public Works Director Kersten checked the lease and discovered it contains a 12 -month notice of termination by either party with an end date of the lease no later than September 8, 2012. J Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he could agree with most everything, and said the purchase of the building is very important, and would concur on the zoning point and move forward. Mr. Kersten said he feels we could get a firm price with Waste Management, and that he can get more details on the zoning, adding that he felt it would not be critical for self - exemption now concerning the zoning, but would be something to consider in the future. Councilmember Grafos suggested Mr. Kersten look at the larger Waste Management office property closer to Pines as that could accommodate more staff, and Mr. Kersten explained that the proposed site could handle fifteen to twenty people and that would be for the truck operators, etc., as the stormwater engineers' offices are located on the third floor of City Hall and they would not move, so there would not be a need for greater office space. Councilmember Grafos said he is not in favor of jumping into a purchase at this time, and said that proposed site is into residential and he has a problem with putting that site in the middle of that and he asked Mr. Kersten if we had ever had any violations of storing chemicals, and Mr. Kersten replied that we adhere to the regulations and have had no violations. Councilmember Grassel agreed with Mr. Grafos' concern to purchase, and said perhaps we could get a commercial realtor to look for a couple weeks or months to see if there are other possibilities so Council can confirm with taxpayers that we examined all the options; and she said that sometimes there are greater savings in purchasing something new versus purchasing an existing building. Mr. Jackson said staff can develop a plan to expand the search and meanwhile keep an eye on this building; and Mr. Kersten confirmed that they did some searching, but not extensively, and can initiate that work. Councilmember Dempsey expressed concern with sitting back and looking around, particularly when this property "fell into our lap at a time of desperate need" and said there is always the possibility of losing that property if we wait too long. Mr. Kersten said staff can discuss price with waste management and pursue that option simultaneously with getting a commercial realtor to research other possibilities, and Council concurred. Mayor Towey said he realizes timing is critical but if we can study other options, he has no objections. Councilmember Grafos reiterated that he is not in favor of jumping into this and said there is a lot of available property around and suggested looking at other properties for lease; and he suggested staff look at preparing an RFP (request for proposal) to see what we could get from local contractors. Mr. Kersten said it takes quite some time to prepare the RFP and if this moves us back too far into the calendar year, we may have to continue the emergency contract with Poe through next winter; he said decisions don't have to be made tonight, but a decision to move ahead lets him start to develop an RFP, adding that this is a life safety issue when it snows, and said he can start on the RFP and get Council approval prior to advertising. There was no Council objection. Regarding hiring the mechanic /operator, Mr. Kersten said he would like to hire late in the fall, and Mr. Jackson added that we currently do not have such position classification and that would require staff to come back to Council with a job description, and if Council concurs, Human Resources can start working on that job description. There was no objection from Council. Regarding purchasing one new truck, Mr. Kersten explained that he would need to contact WSDOT now in order to detennine the time for buying and deliver so that such could be ready by the end of October; and asked if he could proceed forward and bring that back for approval of the actual purchase. Council concurred. Mr. Kersten said our current trucks could last another four or five years and he would like to start to replace one truck about every other year; and he asked about the purchase of the backhoe /loader. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he hates to see more equipment and more employees, but if we need something, we can either rent or buy; and with the stormwater situation, we could get ten to fifteen years from a backhoe, and said he has no objection and recommends moving forward with that purchase. Mr. Kersten said that although that is within the purchasing authority of the City Manager, he will bring that back for council approval. Mayor Towey called for a brief recess at 7:38 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:48 p.m. Council Meeting Minutes: 4 -06 -2010 Page 4 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT 4. Commute Trip Reduction (CTR) Plan — Morgan Koudelka Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka and Transportation Manager Ms. Aurora Crooks of Spokane County's CTR Office, gave an update on the Commute Trip Reduction Plan; Mr. Koudelka explained that under the CTR Efficiency Act, entities are required to develop a new CTR plan and establish program goals and targets for their jurisdictions; and that the plan must be consistent with the entity's Comprehensive Plan, although it does not require a Comp Plan amendment; that the process for this Plan is to present the information to Council, then it will be taken to the SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Committee) and the State CTR Board, and after both approve the plan, then a model ordinance is developed and distributed to the various jurisdictions; and he said a summary of that plan was previously presented and that he and Ms. Crooks are working with legal assistance to provide some additional language. Ms. Crooks thanked Mr. Koudelka for his work; she explained that the 2006 Efficient Act moves slowly as it takes time and effort to move something like this state -wide; she mentioned that she has been appointed to the Governor's State CTR Board so she can bring infonnation to member jurisdictions and keep them informed of challenges; she explained that Spokane County passed an ordinance last April; that this is a big process and is a collaborative process, and she explained that Spokane County's ordinance looks much the same as the model ordinance; and the goal is to have jurisdictions mirror each other in order to make the plan consistent. Ms,. Crooks said that CTR is here to give people choices, and employers see that it benefits companies and employees; that the plan is mandatory and there are penalties for those who do not implement a plan; that there are seventeen employers in the area and a baseline measurement against goals was conducted in 2007 and will be done again two to three years later, and said that April 2011 will be a goal attainment year to work for that 13% reduction of drive -alone trips. Ms. Crooks said the success of the entities is measured by the information gained in the survey, which is conducted by the Department of Transportation; the survey contains eleven questions about employees' work hours and commutes, like driving one way, etc., and the measurement is taken again two years later. Ms. Crooks also stated that they work collaboratively with STA (Spokane Transit Authority), and that although Spokane Valley has less than the required 100 full time employees, Spokane Valley is a participant; and said Spokane Valley is compliant and has made some progress; that Chris Thompson is Spokane Valley's Employee Transportation Coordinator and is doing a wonderful job and they work closely to promote the programs; and one of the issues in Spokane Valley's favor is in examining the compressed work week schedule. In closing, Ms. Crooks mentioned that the Davenport Hotel has donated the use of one of their major rooms for this year's 'Way to Go" awards, which last year's function was attended by approximately 250 people, including Mayors, Councilmembers, and State Representatives and said this is a great opportunity to reward and recognize employers. 5. Transportation Benefit District (TBD) — Cary Driskell Deputy City Attorney Driskell went through his PowerPoint giving further information on the topic of Transportation Benefit Districts by explaining such a district would be a quasi - municipal corporation, would be an independent taxing district, and can be formed by a city, a county, or combination via an interlocal agreement; and said that new legislation (Senate Bill 6774) would allow a third type of board comprised of members of the local metropolitan planning (MPO), which for us is the SRTC, and under that scenario, we would have one member. Mr. Driskell said that the process includes holding a public hearing, followed by adoption of an ordinance which would include a description of the district's boundary, a statement that it is in the public interest, description of the improvements to be done, and a statement of proposed taxes, fees, or charges to impose. Further, Mr. Driskell explained that once formed, should a major change be proposed, it would require another public hearing if the anticipated cost would exceed the original cost by more than 20 %; he explained the selection criteria for projects, and that TBD funds can be used for capital projects or programs including maintenance or preservation of existing street system, but must be identified in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. Concerning funding options with voter approval, Mr. Driskell said once a fee or tax is set by voters, it cannot be increased without additional voter approval; and he mentioned the option of a vehicle tab fee has a maximum Council Meeting Minutes: 4 -06 -2010 Page 5 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT annual amount of $100, and that those funds are not available for use until six months after approval of the TBD; and said if the tab fee exceeds $20 for multi - jurisdictional district, 60% of the cities representing 75% of the incorporated population must approve it, and said that the City of Spokane Valley represents 27.1% of the incorporated population. For funding options without voter approval, Mr. Driskell said the two options include an annual car tab fee up to $20.00, or transportation impact fees on commercial and industrial buildings, excluding residential buildings. It was confirmed by Commissioner Mielke that these funds could only be used locally for local projects; and there was some discussion concerning a draft interlocal, but Mr. Driskell said tonight's discussion is not on the interlocal as he feels that needs to be discussed separately. Councilmember Grassel said she realizes that it is government's role to provide public safety and infrastructure, and asked why property taxes and gas taxes do not appear to cover the basics. Commissioner Mielke explained that except for the last year and a half, inflation has climbed 30 -40% for commodities like asphalt and concrete, and property taxes cannot increase more than 1% per year, which means anything beyond that 1% inflation has to be absorbed with existing revenues; he said cities and counties have different budgeting process; that the County has a general property tax and a dedicated funding source called a road fund which includes the gas tax from the state, and said it doesn't compete with anything else which lends to pressure to keep up with inflation and pave all those non -paved roads; and that cities have one line item for property tax and competition for that revenue is from all different angles: from patching a road and fixing a pothole, to funding a special detective; and said that government usually runs out of money accomplishing those two things of providing infrastructure and keeping people safe. 6. Comprehensive Plan Update — Greg McCormick Planning Manager McCormick explained that the Growth Management Act allows local jurisdictions to update comprehensive plans no more than once a year; that council previously heard a report on the proposed amendments, and those items are set for a first and second ordinance reading this month; he said the cut -off date for amendments in 2011 is this November is; and said staff typically advertises that on a board -based community -wide level to let people know about the deadline; and said staff also runs a couple campaigns in August and September; and he added that the review of the Sprague /Appleway Revitalization Plan is also scheduled on that docket; and said any additional ammendments that Council wishes to include in the 2011 update must be included in the docket prior to the November 1 deadline. There were no suggested additions from Council. 7. Advance Agenda — Mayor Towev Deputy Mayor Schimmels reminded councilmembers to keep Administrative Assistant Sue Passmore informed of all meetings and events that Councilmembers plan to attend, so that staff can publish notice when needed to keep in line with the Open Public Meeting Act; and Mayor Towey also mentioned the importance of councilmembers keeping staff notified in that regard. Councilmember Dempsey thanked Public Information Officer Branch for her work on the "Hot Topics" newsletter and said the information is appreciated. Mayor Towey said that Governmental Affairs Consultant Taylor has contacted Mr. Jackson and asked about giving a presentation on the current Olympia legislative session and perhaps on upcoming legislation as well, and he asked for Council comments concerning adding that to the advance agenda. There was no objection. Councilmember Grassel asked about the shoreline master plan report and mentioned that the consultant we are using works very closely with the Department of Energy, and she asked about getting a second opinion from another consultant or have another outsider review that. Mr. Jackson said he will explore that with staff and report back to council, and that it is not included in the current plan's cost. Council also concurred with Mr. Jackson's suggestion of having the TBD set for a future agenda, as well as collaborative planning as per the Boundary Review Board report. 8.

Ms. Minnihan said she i s su re i f r esearched, the 216 ac cidents would not al l be rear ends as a 1 of w ere intersections; she said, "we don't want two lane traffic, we want four lane traffic." Ms. Minnihan said another co ncem of the em ployee w as sa fety, and Ms. Minnihan said if i t is f or sa fety sak e, then she suggests all four lane roads turn into one lane roads; she said it is not wise when the traffic on Broadway is so much, to go back to prehistoric times; she said the property was taken from the home owners on Broadway for the greater good of Spokane Valley to turn it into a four -lane road, for "you guys to have taken their property and now turn it back into a two lane road." She said regarding bicycle lanes, that she sat at Progress Elementary School the other day for approximately two hours, and counted three bicycles, two were on the sidewalk and one was in the bike lane; and said the bike lanes are not worth giving up for another lane of traffic.

Second Readiniz Probosed Ordinance 10 -006 Adult Entertainment — Cary Driskell After C ity C lerk B ainbridge read the ordinance title, it w as moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to approve Ordinance 10 -006, repealing and replacing Spokane Valley Municipal Code 5.10 as drafted. Deputy City Attorney D riskell e xplained that other than correcting a few minor typographical errors, there have been no changes since the first reading; that this ordinance would update our code to make it more consistent with state and federal law, and that the entire record is on file with the Clerk's office and i s c onsidered p art of this ordinance once pa ssed. Mr. D riskell added that he was asked if Council would consider changing the closing hours to 4:00 a.m. instead of 2:00 a.m., that Council has the regulatory right to keep it at 2:00 a.m., and said the Courts have upheld that as it has been seen in the past that when people leave taverns at their 2:00 a.m. closing hour, they would move to the adult facilities, and said that i s a po licy c hoice f or council. Mayor Towey i nvited public c omment; no c omments w ere offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion passed. 3. First Reading Probosed Ordinance 10 -007 Amendiniz Combrehensive Plan — Mike Basinizer_ Christina Janssen After C ity C lerk B ambridge r ead the o rdinance title, it w as moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded, to advance Ordinance 10 -007 to a second reading. Planner B asinger p rovided a b rief overview of the recommendations of the Planning Commission on the amendments; and said as discussed previously, there are three proposed site- specific map amendments: one privately initiated amendment and two city- initiated. Assistant Planner Janssen went over the proposed map amendments; that CPA 01- 10 is the only privately initiated comprehensive plan amendment; she said the property is located on the northeast corner of Broadway Avenue and Park Road and the Planning Commission recommends approval to change the area from low- density residential to neighborhood commercial; she explained city - initiated amendment CPA 02 -10 corrects a mapping error, that the property is located on Sullivan Road just north of the Spokane River, is owned by the Washington State Department of Transportation, and the Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 3 of 11 Approved by Council: 1 :: Planning Commission recommendation is to change the parcel's designation from Parks and Open Space to Heavy Industrial; and City - initiated amendment CPA 03 -10 is also to correct a mapping error, that the property is located on industrial park and i s owned by Crown West Realty, and said the proposal is to change the designation on the property form community commercial to heavy industrial. Ms. Basinger reviewed the proposed text amendments, and he referenced ordinance attachment B and said since there were previously expressed concerns with the proposed policy changes, Mr. Basinger went over each change. Mr. Basinger explained the following: CPA 04 -10 amendments to Chapter 2 Land Use The following policies were recommended by the Planning Commission: LUP 1.8, 1. 9 and 3.3 a 11 pertain t o d evelopment agreements in c onjunction w ith c omprehensive p Ian amendments. LUP 2.7 sets the framework to consider programs to preserve open space lands. LUP 15.4 emphasizes promoting the community's heritage LUP 16.4 emphasis connecting services and open space with multi -modal paths CPA -05 -10 Chapter 3 Transportation The following policies were recommended by the Planning Commission: TP -4.5 emphasis reducing vehicle idling by synchronizing traffic signals TP -5.3 promotes the consideration of grade- separated railroad crossings — and said this is an example of bridging the valley TP -5.4 ensures that a 11 us es of t he t ransportation system ar e cons idered w ith new s ignals, such a s pedestrians, bicyclists and the physically handicapped TP -6.2 promotes the consideration of using video - conferencing when feasible TP -7.4 promotes disbursing traffic in commercial districts to reduce congestion on arterials and improve connectivity TP -9.8 prioritizes civic destinations as non - motorized routes; and said an example would be Wall Street in Spokane TP -9.14 increasing the percent of total miles of bike lanes throughout the city TP -10.1 through 10.3: were moved from the high capacity transit TG -11 goal, to TG -10 transit goals as they made more sense to be under transit instead of high capacity goal. Map updates include map 3.1 t o include t he f ederal reclassification of C onklin S treet a nd Indiana Avenue; map 3.2 t o include new bike lanes developed through re- stripping and repaving; map 3.7 i s a new map that identifies future local access streets and adds predictability for developers CPA 05 -10 Chapter 4 Capital Facilities and Public Services The following policies were recommended by the Planning Commission: CFP 4.4, 4.7 and 4.8: support water conservation CFP 5.3, 5.4 and 5.5: refer to recycling to reduce waste CFP 6.6 suggests limiting the a se o f harmful chemicals, which i s part of the 1 arger regional effort for wellhead protection. CFP 8.4 encourages education programs that result in local employment CFP 8.5 encourages using school facilities as community centers Updates were made to growth assumptions under 4.4.2, and table 4.4 to reflect the population allocation numbers approved by the Board of County Commissioners Level of S ervice Table 4.36 reflects public works' six -year and twenty -year service analysis for arterial intersections Table 4.3 8, 4.39 and 4.40 reflect street improvements for the next six years; and he said all of these bring the Transportation Improvement Program into our Capital Facilities Plan. Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 4 of 11 Approved by Council: r ;, CPA 07 -10 Chapter 7 Economic Development The following policies were recommended by the Planning Commission: EDP 2.3 focus economic development resources in specific redevelopment areas EDP 3.7 promotes opportunities to employ Spokane Valley residents in the City of Spokane Valley EDP 5.5 encourages local, sustainable practices EDP 5.6 encourages participation in "buy local" campaigns EDP 6.3 encourages clean technologies Updates were made to Map 7.1 to reflect the latest development activity in the city CPA 08 -10 Chapter 8 Natural Environment The following policies were recommended by the Planning Commission: NEFP 9.1 encourages a long -range plan to protect the aquifer NEP 10.2 considers regulations to reduce impacts to groundwater NEP 112.9 e ncourages public acquisition and/or protection of sensitive habitats including shorelines, wetlands and priority habitat species. In council discussion, Mayor Towey said most of these are pretty broad statements, and he questioned whether we should spend time and money to put this in the comprehensive plan when it doesn't mean anything; as an example, he said when it states "encourage development and participation in a "buy local" campaign" t hat w e s hould be doi ng t hat a nyhow, a nd he a sked w by w ould w e put t hat i n t he comprehensive plan, and he said it doesn't make sense to work on these things and spend time and money on them; and another example "promote opportunities that employ Spokane Valley residents in Spokane Valley" and said we ought to be doing that anyhow; and he said if it is mandatory to put it in, we should work toward that goal, but if it is something that is just a suggestion or something that we should be doing anyhow, he questioned the time and effort it takes staff to go through and formulate these. Mayor Towey said some of these should be included, but he asked what does the statement "consider grade separated railroad crossing where appropriate" mean; and said it means to him that we should consider it where appropriate; but said it doesn't mean anything. Councilmember Gothmann suggested that if certain statements are included, when staff competes for state and federal funds, one of the things they ask in the application is, is this in your comp plan; and if you are asking for grade separation money, maybe it is a good idea to include that as one of our goals; and said that would naturally not apply to everything, but said Council needs to realize that all this is mandated by the state and federal. Mayor Towey agreed that if it should be included for future use, then it should be kept, but said some of it makes no sense. Councilmember Dempsey asked where these proposals came from, and what persuaded Mr. Basinger to include these goals. M r. Basinger said when staff looks at policies for the comprehensive plan, it is not a particular staff member that comes up with the policies, but that staff observes things regionally through regional meetings where they discuss such things as grade separated railroad crossings, and staff takes notes and comes back and adds it to a suggestion list for the docket; then staff does quarterly updates with Council to apprise council of what staff came up with; and generally council says that sounds like a good idea and we should go forward with that particular policy; and he said staff will continue to do that with next year's docket and with the quarterly updates that Mr. McCormick brings forward to Council; but said most are polices we have obtained from the region and other cities doing planning, and said is it not something staff tries to search for, as they come to staff throughout the year and staff adds them to a list, and said staff does not spend an enormous amount of time col lecting these po licies. Councilmember G rafos sal d that a lot of these items on here are not mandated by state or federal law; and gave as an example, "promote opportunities that employ Spokane Valley residents" and Mr. Basinger agreed that is not a federal law. Councilmember Grafos asked for confirmation that all these items came from staff, were routed through the Planning Commission and are now before Council; and Mr. Basinger concurred. City Manager Jackson suggested if council would like to remove some of these, that they state the ones to remove, and Mr. Basinger can let us know the basis of Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 5 of 11 Approved by Council: 1 :: that particular item, and then Council can decide if it wants that removed; or Council can accept these and as we move forward in the future through the next process, we can discuss in the beginning with Council so there is some understanding of the types of items to address in the comprehensive plan, and then have those items move to the Planning Commission; so when they subsequently return to Council, Council will recognize t he i tems and the ba sis f or t hose; and sal d many ar e conn ected with potential g rant opportunities, and are to provide direction from the Council and are general policy statements; so when the opportunity arises and staff refers to the Comprehensive plan, we would know it would be critical, for example, to seek opportunities to "enhance bicycle and pedestrian facilities" and said staff can entertain council's suggestions now if desired. Councilmember Grassel said that she sees whole sections that might be in conflict with the direction or vision of this council so far as the SARP (Sprague /Appleway Revitalization Plan) is concerned; that there is a 1 of o f w ording g eared toward in ixed -used development and cc rtain set backs, and walking neighborhoods, and said if council puts the SARP for review in November, and Council passes something like this now, to her it seems to be in conflict as there are whole sections that would be in conflict with what Council is trying to do nine months from now; and she said for her it would not be just one line item but perhaps a different ideology of what she i s comfortable with; and she asked how does that go with what Council has asked to review in November. City Attorney Connelly said we need to separate the Comprehensive Plan changes that are occurring this spring, which are the 2010 c omp pl an changes before C ouncil now, from those which will o ccur ne xt spring, the 2011 comp plan changes; and said all of the SARP review that requires a comp plan change will be a part of the planning Commission review, and said that for these, Council is coming in in the middle of the process; and said Council can either agree or not on e ach recommendation, but cautioned Council not to confuse these with next year's bigger discussion on SARP; and suggested Council needs to look at the changes before Council, that these were part of a process that this Council was mostly not a part o f, a nd to decide w hether t o accept these or n ot; a nd if there a re i tems w hich Council feels a re inappropriate or which Council does not agree with, he suggests staff should explain the basis as possible the basis could be if we don't put this in the comp plan, we don't get the money; or if we are going to have a cer tain development code or grant application, we need to have this in our comp plan, and said Council certainly does not want to take a step that mightieopardize pending funding; and as Mr. Jackson suggested, Council might want to identify those which are of concern, have staff report as to the basis of those, and then Council make a decision. Councilmember Grassel asked if Council were to pass these recommendations, a nd s omeone c ame i n f or a z oning r equest w hich w as i n c onflict w ith s omething suggested in this plan, would that be a problem; and Mr. Connelly said a permit application should not be inconsistent with anything Council is doing tonight regarding the comp plan; that the comp plan drives the d evelopment of the development code; s o if t here i s som ething i nconsistent i n our ex isting development code, then a change to that code will be proposed as a companion to this; and he said these are only in ap changes an d said that th ere s houldn't be a nything in a pe rmit application th at w ill b e impacted by these comp plan changes other than if they are in one of the map areas; and in that case, it would have to be consistent with the new comp plan and the new zoning code. Councilmember Gothmann s aid council could make a 1 ist that we would like staff to further report to council. M ayor Towey s aid s uch a 1 ist c ould be drafted a nd g iven t o s taff, and he again stated that a lot o f th ese suggestions are vague and repetitious of what i s in there already. C ouncil c oncurred with the idea of submitting a list of concerns to staff. Mayor Towey invited public comment. Gary Bernardo of Bernardo Architects said he represents Headwater Development regarding CPA 0 1 -10 the comprehensive map amendment at Broadway and Park; said that those of us who have had experience in s erving g overnment or on pl anning c ommissions or 1 and us e a ctions, o ften f ind t hemselves in a position where w e br ing t o C ouncils a nd c ommissions, pr ojects o r z oning a mendments t hat a re adversarial or con tentious or cr eate a si tuation where coun cilmembers have t o decide be tween the Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 6 of 11 Approved by Council: 1 :: developer and the neighborhood; and said it is worth noting tonight that this map amendment CPA 01 -10 doesn't do that, that this is a situation where staff has come together with the applicant and the planning commission and brings forth to Council an application that everyone can agree on; it is not controversial but is an application that is entirely consistent with the comprehensive plan and the goals and policies therein stated; he said he feels this is a text -book example of transitional zoning step -down, where you transition from an intense zone such as industrial zone, to a less- intense zone which is residential; and this application puts a neighborhood commercial zone between those two uses, serves as a buffer and provides needed goods and services to an area that is not presently served; and he said it is also one of those unique applications that no t on ly in akes s ense f rom a pl anning c ommission z oning c ode d evelopment a nd comprehensive pl an de velopment poi nt o f v iew, but also from a bus iness and c ommon s ense p oint o f view; he said they have a private developer who has spent a considerable amount of money to purchase the land w ith t he v ision t hat this in akes g ood s ense f or a ne ighborhood c ommercial retail c enter that provides goods and services to the neighborhood in the immediate area; and asked for Council support of the p revious pl anning c ommission's recommendation f or a pproval. There w ere no further publ is comments. Councilmember Gothmann said his suggestion was made for the text amendments, and said he assumed those others would stand on their own merits; and that there would be no questions on those; and Mayor Towey and other councilmembers indicated they only had concerns with the text amendments. Vote by acclamation on the motion to advance ordinance 10 -007 to a second reading: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried. Mr. Jackson said that the second reading for this ordinance is set for April 27, so if council sometime next week could provide council's concerns to staff, staff will be prepared to discuss those items at the April 27 second reading. 4. First Reading Proposed Ordinance 10 -008 Amending Zoning Map — Mike Basinger After C ity C lerk B ainbridge read the o rdinance t itle, it w as moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to advance Ordinance 10 -008 to a second reading. Mr. Basinger said these changes modify the zoning map to e nsure c onsistency w ith the c omp pl an in ap and de als w ith the three -site spe cific in ap amendments just discussed.

P roposed R esolution 10-007 A dopting A mended 2010 Transportation I mprovement Plan - Steve Worley It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to approve Resolution No. 10 -007 adopting the amended 2010 TIP as presented by staff. Public Works D irector Kersten, standing i n f or E ngineer Worley, explained that the 2010 TIP was adopted last year in June and at that time, staff inputted the best information they had on p roj ects, and some of that has changed, that staff has been before council a few times going through these; and said there is one change to what was presented to -date; that we received one more grant project for the Park Road /Burlington Northern Barrier Curb Separation; he explained that the Washington Utilities Transportation Commission (WUTC) monitors problems on railroads and they came to staff and recommended this change as there have been concerns of people going through the area when the arms were down; and WUTC recommended staff apply for this grant; that staff did apply and received funding so the project is added at the bottom of the list; and said the other projects have been previously discussed. Mayor Towey invited public comments; no comments were offered. On an unrelated matter C ouncilmember Grafos said that last week the snow plow operation was discussed including the leased facility, and s aid that Mr. Kersten s ent C ouncil an e -mail that there i s a twelve month notice of termination. Mr. Kersten said he thinks he previously told council there was a three in onth but that w as i ncorrect. C ouncilmember G rafos s aid he just w anted to in ake s ure t hat everyone understood that there is a twelve -month and there is no emergency and Council does not have to act immediately. Mr. Kersten said that Mr. Jackson caught that error for him, and said we have a twelve- Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 7 of 11 Approved by Council: 1 :: month notice but they can still sell it at any time and we could lose that facility, that we'd be locked in there until at least next winter, but then we'd have to get out; and he apologized for that misinformation. On returning to the current matter and pending motion, Vote by Acclamation to approve Resolution No. 10 -007 adopting the amended 2010 TIP as presented: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None.

Motion Consideration: Interlocal Agreement, Airway Heights — Mike Jackson It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the Acting City Manager to finalize and execute the Interlocal Agreement for Building Plan Review with the City of Airway Heights. City Manager Jackson said that t his w as discussed a few w eeks ag o; t hat the city of A irway H eights approached the City of Spokane Valley and asked for assistance in plan reviews; that we estimated this would bring in annual revenues of approximately $22,000 to $30,000 depending on the number of actual reviews; that A irway H eights e stimates S pokane Valley w ould have abo ut 40 residential reviews and approximately f ive com mercial r eviews annu ally; t hat in a ddressing pr evious c ouncil que stions, he showed comparison of permit and plan review fees for Spokane Valley, Spokane, Spokane County and Airway Heights; and he explained the various figures, adding that Spokane County does not currently have a plan review fee but understands they are currently reviewing their fee process; he said the figures show fluctuation in the fees; and in asking Mr. Tripp why he approached Spokane Valley, Mr. Jackson reported that Mr. Tripp said he first approached Spokane County but discovered they don't have a plan review f ee in aking i t di fficult t o w ork out an a greement; a nd that M r. Tripp did no t a sk t he city of Spokane but simply approached Spokane Valley. Mr. Jackson said in reviewing the top of the chart, we would charge a plan review fee of $831.72, and 40% of the Airway Heights valuation is what we agreed to, w ould be $735.29 which is slightly less than what we charge our own citizens but Airway Heights would have done a lot of the preliminary work associated with the fee, and would only be bringing us the plan for our review; and Mr. Jackson said staff is comfortable with that difference. City Manager Jackson said Mr. Tripp was planning to present this to his council on April 14 based on our council's decision. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 8 of 11 Approved by Council: 1 :: Councilmember G rassel said that should Airway Heights experience a "boom" she noticed the clause about giving sixty days' notice; and Mr. Jackson confirmed that if this impacts Spokane Valley's ability to serve its citizens, the t ermination c lause i s pr ovided f or i n t he contract. C ouncilmember G rassel expressed a concern that she has been hearing from builders in our community that our current timeframe permit process is longer than other municipalities; and said if we are already taking longer she asked if that issue has been addressed; and said perhaps there would be a frustration on the part of Airway Heights if they anticipated a certain timeframe that we could not meet. Mr. Jackson said we should not have any difficulty in meeting their timeframe, and he invited Building Official MaryKate McGee to address that issue. Building Official McGee stated that our current timeframe for residential reviews is three to five working days, which is very consistent with anyone who does reviews; she said we can't compare with Spokane C ounty a s t hey don' t a ctually do a pl an review, a nd s aid there are da tes provided i n t he Interlocal f or A irway H eights, and also said it i s n egotiable and if w e a re g etting be hind, it w ill be discussed with Airway Heights. Councilmember Dempsey said she is happy to see this and feels this is good that we can cooperate with our sister city. Mayor Towey said he is encouraged that Airway Heights came to us for assistance, and feels this is a good proposal. Councilmember Gothmann agreed that this is a great cooperative effort.

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS 10. Advance Agenda Deputy Mayor Schimmels said he left a message with Mr. Wedlake from Spokane County, and said KC Traver, and possibly Will Wedlake and Mr. Schimmels will be ready to discuss the issue of solid waste next Tuesday night. Councilmember Grafos said he would like to put an item on the advance agenda, that he would like to have the staff research and bring back to the council possible options and possibilities of providing s ome di rectional business s ignage at t he e ast S prague exit from S pokane t o the A ppleway Couplet; he said as you enter the city from the west there is only one identification sign at the Sprague Exit, it reads simply " Sprague Avenue;" he s aid this probably doe s not mean much to the out of town traveler or even to a Spokane resident not familiar with the various exists in the Spokane Valley; that he would 1 Ike t o propose that i n addition t o the s imply " Sprague Avenue" s ign that w e research adding "Business District" maybe below that "Auto Row" and maybe below that "University City" with arrows coming off that exit, and might want to look at the other end the city where we don't have any signage; and s aid he w ould 1 Ike t o s ee w hat w e can c ome up w ith in oney -wise a nd i f t hat c ould be done . Councilmember Gothmann asked if Mr. Grafos was suggesting on the interstate and on Sprague Avenue. Councilmember Grafos said yes, on the interstate; that when you are going east, the only thing you see is "Welcome to Spokane Valley Sprague Avenue." Councilmember Gothmann said in that case, it would be a W ashington State D epartment of T ransportation i ssue. Councilmember D empsey ask ed if this i s Council Regular Meeting 4 -13 -2010 Page 9 of 11 Approved by Council: r ;, something we need to task our staff with; and said she is not sure of the appropriate procedure for such a request. M r. Jackson said technically, council can direct those comments and suggestions to the City Manager, although Mr. Grafos was addressing Mr. Kersten; and Mr. Jackson said that is something staff will be happy to do. There was no council objection. Deputy Mayor Schimmels asked Mr. Jackson about the recent conv ersation we ha d with L iberty L ake r egarding t he ea stern entrance on A ppleway. Mr. Jackson said he has not heard anything further; there was a d iscussion a few weeks ago and they are discussing a potential interlocal agreement to do a study of the interchanges at Barker Road, Greenacres, and the Harvard Exit in Liberty Lake; and Liberty Lake has asked our city to partner in that regard; and said Liberty Lake suggested they would be back in touch with us; and they are also suggesting to place entry s igns be tween L iberty L ake a nd t he C ity of Spokane Valley, where one si de o f t he si gn reads "Entering Liberty Lake" while the other side would be "Entering Spokane Valley," and that idea has been discussed for several years now; and at some future date staff will have sign examples and cost estimates for council discussion; and in response to Councilmember Dempsey's comments, said he will follow up with Liberty Lake on this issue. Councilmember Grassel said that regarding the public comments tonight about the Broadway changes, she asked about the status of project. Mr. Jackson said that has been approved and we are receiving grant funds for those; and based on tonight's comments, Mr. Kersten will place an informational memorandum in a future council packet, and will also respond to the citizen's comments; that Council discussed that issue numerous times and the last time voted to continue with that project. Public Works Director Kersten added that we waited over a year as council wanted to see the impact of the one -way going to the three lane ov er to the ea st of P Ines, and staff cam e back w ith som e ac cident data ov er a co uple y ear period, which showed quite a bit of improvement; and said staff can p ut that previous research into an informational memo; and said we are moving ahead, the project has been authorized, and we are spending funds for that project. Mayor Towey asked where the money came from, and Mr. Kersten said it is State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) funding, the UAP (urban arterial program) Program; and said that project idea had been around even before our City's incorporation. Councilmember Grassel asked then if the plan is to start changing all of Broadway from four lanes to two; and Mr. Kersten said it would be four lanes to three lanes and is scheduled to be done this year with the major work including sidewalks, ramps, and striping. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said in 2002, the County was going to change that stretch of road, at least the Pines to Sullivan area, and it involved council even prior to incorporation, and the project was postponed about three years; and said Council "took a lot of heat for that decision, but the accident picture; it's just like the couplet, people either like it or they don't like it; so here we are" and he said he thinks it is a good move and would honor that and did honor that both times. Councilmember Gothmann also suggested Council could research on the Internet regarding three lanes versus four lanes, and to examine the accident data and said Council can do their own research as there is a tremendous amount of research on that topic relative to accident data, and on how many cars it can carry, and the kinds of accident. Councilmember Grassel suggested for the future, that she noticed a number of t Imes businesses that are on a corner of a three -lane street, frequently get right -hand or left -hand cars that want to turn and can't because they are stuck at a stoplight for example; and she said she doesn't know if there is a w ay t o modify t hat; that sh e ha s b een in communities that have in odified those, and s aid s he I s concerned about a potential road rage element. Councilmember Gothmann said that speed limits are set at about the 85 percentile, so no matter what the speed limit, there will be about 15% of the drivers angry because they can't exceed the speed limit. Councilmember Dempsey said she uses Broadway daily, has not liked the idea of a three -lane and was adamantly opposed to that idea with a council vote of five to two to move ahead with the change in Broadway; and said it was a 1 ong time to make the decision and that it wasn't made lightly; and said she accepts the decision made.

BACKGROUND: The Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan includes an annual amendment cycle that runs from November 2 to November 1 of the following year. The Planning Commission considers applications received prior to the November 1 deadline in late winter /early spring of the following year, with a recommendation to City Council in late spring /early summer. All parts of the Comprehensive Plan (maps and text) can be amended during the annual cycle. The Community Development Department received one site - specific Comprehensive Plan map amendment; city staff initiated two site - specific Comprehensive Plan map amendments. Sites that are approved for a Comprehensive Plan Map amendment automatically receive a zoning designation that is consistent with the new Comprehensive Plan Map designation. Additionally, staff initiated Comprehensive Plan amendments to Chapter 2 - Land Use; Chapter 3 - Transportation; Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities Plan & Public Service; Chapter 7 - Economic Development; and Chapter 8 - Natural Environment. COMPREHENSIVE PLAN AMENDMENT PROPOSALS: Comprehensive plan amendment proposals are organized into individual reports consisting of application materials, staff reports, and letters submitted to date to assist the City Council's review. The Spokane Valley Planning Commission conducted a public hearing on February 25, 2010, to consider proposed amendments to the Comprehensive Plan. After hearing public testimony, the Commission made recommendations on CPA -01 -10 through CPA- 08 -10. OPTIONS: Approve ordinance with or without modifications; or don't approve ordinance.

At the first reading on April 13, 2010, City Council requested more information in regards to the Planning Commission's recommended comprehensive plan policy changes. The Comprehensive Plan is the policy document that guides the City in decision making. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires cities to adopt Comprehensive Plans with the following required chapters: Land Use, Capital Facilities, Transportation, Housing, and Utilities. Some of the objectives of Comprehensive Plans are to manage projected population growth, plan for supporting infrastructure, and protect natural resources. It is common for cities to refer to their comprehensive plan policies to support funding for economic development, job enhancement, housing, capital projects, or other public enhancements. By providing these policies, potential funding applications are more competitive and can show that the community has a commitment in a particular area. The Planning Commission's recommended policies primarily relate to air and water quality, waste reduction, energy conservation, and protection of environmentally sensitive areas. Federal funding associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (economic stimulus package passed by Congress in 2009) provides $2.7 billion in potential grant funding through the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant Program (EECBG). The purpose for developing the recommended policies is to align the City's policy framework to leverage resources associated with the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. The Planning Commission's recommended policy updates are consistent with RCW 36.70A (the Growth Management Act). Please find the attached supplemental policy descriptions for Council consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions you may have when reviewing the attached supplemental descriptions.

The finance plan identifies specific revenue sources that the City reasonably anticipates will be available in the year the project is scheduled to be constructed. The CFP includes Level of Service (LOS) standards for each public facility or service and requires that new development be served by adequate facilities. The purpose of the CFP is to use sound fiscal policies to provide adequate public facilities consistent with the land use element and concurrent with, or prior to, the impacts of development.

The City has identified existing service providers to help determine the effects on existing levels of service in the event of annexation. C apital facilities planning activities within these UGAs Will ^ continue to be the County's responsibility. The following population data is used for capital facilities planning purposes: Table 4.4 Population projection Year 29982009 2422 t5 24M2031 Population 88,92 9 89,440 92 43 93,854 4G&, 67-6 106,720 4.4,3 Level of Service Cities are often defined by the quality of facilities and services that are provided to its residents. Good road, sewer and water infrastructure are typical criteria used by businesses considering relocation. Park and recreation facilities are increasingly used to judge the quality of a City. Businesses want to locate where they can attract the best employees, and quality of life issues are often the deciding factor for a person to move to a new area. Level of service standards are quantifiable measures, such as acres of parks per 1000 people, or the amount of time it takes to travel a road segment during peak morning and afternoon "rush hours," the higher the level of service the higher the cost. This element establishes levels of service which will be used to evaluate the adequacy and future cost of urban facilities and services. 4.4.3 Goncurrency The Growth Management Act introduces the concept of concurrency, which requires new development to be served with adequate urban services at the time of development, or within a specified time thereafter. The GMA allows six years for necessary transportation improvements to be constructed as long as a financial commitment is made at the time of development. The GMA strongly encourages concurrency for water and sewer, and it is good public policy to require the same. 4.4.4 Financing Facilities and Services The City is limited in its ability to finance all desired capital facility projects. Options must be available for addressing funding shortfalls or decisions must be made to lower levels of service for public facilities. In deciding how to address a particular shortfall, the City will need to balance current needs versus future growth requirements; existing deficiencies versus future expansions. Capital facilities plans must be balanced. When funding shortfalls occur, the following options should be considered: a. Increase revenues, b. decrease level of service standards, c. decrease the cost of the service or facility, d. decrease the demand for the service or facility, Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 05 -27 -2009) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities Page 12 of 72 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan e. or some combination of the above, Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 05 -27 -2009) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities Page 13 of 72 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan nalysis #r�tMest ea* 6et+it Ce 4rad 20-14 M+t aEe 26n tie• - ProjecE # 4 41h l swllivan 2ea5 dal 0 43 e 2 41h f /Mast" 2985 4- way-etGPI A La 3 44h I Ilnivem;ty 2845 Signal 6 6 S 4 8P41 H ewd+sh 2496 9 € € € € B3 5 8th 1 GaFnahan 299 4-w ster a 6 G € - € 4&46 b { tl1r � FAAA TGa 2.904 ; l a B - t - 81h 1 Evergreen 2603 & @4 a4 A A A 5 9 th 1 M;ZDARRI 2605 2 w ay step g € € _ 8 8th Pa* 2665 2 y8y 6tap 6 6 a 48 M 1 TPiReS (,° 2 ' ^' mop G € - 44 G - - a At h � T h i efFnan 2000 2 way stag G € € as 43 81h F tla +vafslty 2905 £igaal 8 S 44 46t 44,4da m 265# 4 way 6".

' Includes volumes from Bigelow Gulch Road proiect Intersection rnay be im acted by Applewa ExtensWt project, to uncertainly of ROW but analysis was not completed due _ — Improvement options are still under evaluatlon BTV: Bridging the Valley Regional Level of Service The Countywide Planning Policies require that LOS standards be adopted in accordance with the regional minimum level of service standards set by the Growth Management Steering Committee of Elected Officials. The Steering Committee approved the use of corridor travel time for use in establishing the regional transportation system. The Spokane Regional Transportation Council is determining annual average corridor travel time through a travel time study. This study is still in progress and corridor travel time Level of Service standards will be adopted upon its completion. Uses of Level of Service Standards As measures of transportation effectiveness, LOS standards can help jurisdictions identify where and when transportation improvements are needed, and when development or growth will affect system operation. Level of service provides a standard below which a transportation facility or system is not considered adequate. Level of service standards can be used to evaluate the impact of proposed developments on the surrounding road system. They can also be used to identify problems, suggest remedial actions and apportion costs between public and private sources. LOS standards are a cornerstone in the development of equitable traffic impact fee systems, which makes development pay some of the costs for improvements to the transportation infrastructure. The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) performed traffic modeling for the urban area, considering future population growth and distribution. This model examines the performance of the entire urban transportation system. Improvements to provide for the increased traffic volumes shown by the model at the adopted level of service standards, are included in this plan. More information on the transportation modeling based on future land use assumptions is contained in Chapter 3, Transportation. Relationship to Concurrency Management Concurrency involves matching public facilities and new development, The concept of concurrency predates the Growth Management Act for some public facilities, specifically through SEPA mitigation requirements. The GMA extends concurrency to transportation facilities by requiring that new development be served by adequate roads and public transportation service, and that development is not permitted to cause these transportation facilities to operate below level of service standards that are adopted by local governments in their comprehensive plans. "Adequate capacity refers to the maintenance of concurrency" (WAC 365 -195 -835). Adopted April 25, 2006 (Updated 05 -27 -2009) Chapter 4 - Capital Facilities Page 59 of 72 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan State Transportation Facilities The Growth Management Act requires local jurisdictions to include inventory and Level of Service information for state transportation facilities in their Comprehensive Plans. State facilities are divided into two categories: Highways of Statewide Significance (HSS), and Regionally Significant Highways (non -HSS). The Growth Management Act requires non -HSS facilities to be subject to concurrency. The following table lists State highways serving Spokane County. —State Transportation Level of Service The Washington State Department of Transportation ( WSDOT) requires state transportation facilities in urban areas (inside the UGA) to maintain a minimum Level of Service standard "D." In rural areas (outside the UGA), the minimum LOS standard is "C." Those areas lying outside the UGA that may have urban characteristics can be evaluated by the WSDOT in conjunction with the City on a case -by- case basis to determine which standard is the most appropriate fit.

SRTC has overall responsibility for intergovernmental coordination of transportation plans. Each jurisdiction in the region must submit transportation plans to SRTC for inclusion in the Metropolitan Transportation Plan. SRTC responsibilities include: 1) Certifying the transportation elements of comprehensive plans adopted by the County, cities and towns in the region for consistency with the Metropolitan Transportation Plan; 2) Maintaining consistency between infrastructure plans and land use development plans, and 3) Reviewing LOS thresholds for transportation facilities in the Spokane Region. SRTC is also responsible for monitoring and evaluating the performance of regional transportation facilities as affected by land use and transportation improvement decisions. Concurrency management is linked to the planning process. Any amendments to the comprehensive plans require a concurrency management system analysis and must meet thresholds before their adoption. SRTC will annually assess the regional transportation system with respect to regional concurrency, Capital Facilities Projects and Financing Capital Projects Table 4.38 contains a complete list of transportation related capital projects for the years 2008 through 2013, totaling over $95 million. The City updates the six year TIP throughout the year as project priorities and funding changes. This Plan adopts by reference any updates to the TIP occurring between Plan update cycles. The current TIP is available for viewing online at www.spokanevalley.org. These projects address capacity issues at intersections and safety improvements. Following is a discussion of potential funding sources. Funding Sources Funding for the operation and expansion of the City's transportation system falls into several categories, which include federal, state and city funds. Some sources consist of reliable annual funds while others are periodic, such as grants. The use, availability and applicability of these various sources are not always at the discretion of the City. Spokane Valley will develop a track record with funding agencies as time goes on, which will help make to make more reliable funding assumptions. Adopted April 2.5, 2006 (Updated 05 -27 -2009) Chapter 4 - Capital f=acilities Page 60 of 72 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Phan A summary of expected federal, Improvement Program is shown funding options. Federal Assistance state and local funding sources for the City's six year Capital in Table 4.39. The following is a summary of transportation These funds are authorized under the Safe, Accountable, Flexible, Efficient Transportation Equity Act for the 21 Century (SAFETEA -21) and are administered by the Federal Highway Administration through Washington State Department of Transportation and the Metropolitan Planning Organization (Spokane Regional Transportation Council). Federal funding programs include Bridge Replacement (BR), Congestion Management and Air Quality (CMAQ) and the Surface Transportation Program (STP). State Assistance The Washington State Transportation Improvement Board administers State transportation programs, including the Urban Corridor Program (UCP), the Urban Arterial Program (UAP), and the Sidewalk Program (SP).

The following analysis will assess current levels of service in the PAAs to provide a context of how annexation could affect the City's LOS and provide guidance for phasing of annexations. Additionally, the analysis will provide City staff and elected officials information to assist in the planning and budgeting of public service delivery as a result of annexation to the City of Spokane Valley. The following study includes LOS analysis for sanitary sewer and parks and open space. Analysis is not provided for services where the City has adopted the minimum regional LOS. Services excluded from this analysis are domestic water, fire protection, law enforcement, libraries, public schools, public transit, sanitary sewer, solid waste /recycle, storm water, street cleaning, and transportation.

A customer reported that he got his dream job with Apple in California due to our services after spending quite a lot of time in the library working on his job search. With some rearranging, space was freed for another table for WiFi use. Otis Orchards Library A customer rode her horse to the back door to pay her overdue charges, not wanting to tie it at the bike rack. The Friends' book sale was successful. Staff continues to work with East Valley High School to finalize plans for the community garden, with grass de- sodded in March and tilling to be done in April. Two staff members participated once again in the Senior Culmination Project judging at East Valley High School. Customer use measures SCLD's first quarter was quite successful, with increased customer usage of virtually all services. Most notable comparisons to 2009 are 10% higher circulation, 8% higher reference inquiries, and 32% higher website user sessions. The spike in circulation is noteworthy, with the District as a whole and two branches having their highest circulating months ever. Adult services Programming. Programs included 16 computer instruction classes, 13 book club meetings, three resume writing webinars, three Master Gardeners programs at Spokane Valley, four Here's to the Women! Humanities Washington programs, and several related to The Big Read. Community: We visited an average of 45 adult outreach facilities each month. Tax -Aide assistance was offered by volunteers at five branches, including Spokane Valley. The Census Bureau continued to use many library meeting rooms as testing and training sites. Youth services Programming. Play and Learn storytimes continued being very popular, so much so that Spokane Valley's was split into two sessions. After School Specials continued with the science theme. Community: Five schools participated in The Big Read, including Central Valley and University High, and To Kill a Mockingbird actress Mary Badham spoke to students at Central Valley. Staff visited 65 childcare centers during the quarter, doing 127 storytimes.

Page 2 of 4 2010 property taxes The final assessed valuation and property tax levy numbers received from the Spokane County Assessor's Office held no surprises. There was a marginal decrease in the levy rate calculation — around one - hundredth of a cent per thousand dollars to $0.44571 plus a $0.00103 for the refund levy. Census SCLD provided the Census Bureau with large blocks of library meeting room time at six branches between late February and late March for the 2010 Census to serve as questionnaire assistance centers for people who need help filling out their census forms. The Big Read Over 400 people attended the February 16 Big Read kick -off event at The Lincoln Center with To Kill a Mockingbird actress Mary Badham. There were several other community -wide programs over the next several weeks including an "Atticus and Ethics' presentation at Gonzaga, a Gonzaga Law School Mock Trial, and a free film showing at the Garland Theater. Library facilities master plan Draft Two of the Library Facilities Master Plan was completed at the end of March and turned over to communications staff to produce the version that will be available as a website posting, for community open houses in late April and early May, and distribution to cities and towns for their comments. After the close of the public comment period, Draft Three will be prepared for Board of Trustees review in July. 2010 legislative session Other than probable Washington State Library budget reductions, there were no particularly negative or positive bills this session relating to libraries or library districts. Broadband stimulus grant application The statewide Round 2 Broadband Stimulus application submitted at the end of March included potential broadband build -out to Deer Park and Fairfield Libraries and a higher -speed Internet connection from our network, theoretically at an affordable cost. Retirement March 31 was branch services manager Ellen Miller's last day of work, bringing her 27 -year career with SCLD to an end. For the past seven years she was Region II branch services manager, responsible for library service provision in the greater Spokane Valley, the Southeast County, and the Moran and Glenrose Prairie areas.

We have by far the most professional, dedi- cated, and customer oriented group of people I have ever had the privilege of working with. That's why it was such an honor for the Fire Commissioners and me to honor so many of them at our Annual Employee Recognition Dinner. In 2006, members from Local 876 and management developed an Employee Recognition Program. Any member of the Department can nominate someone for an award. All nominations are submitted to a Nominating Committee, consisting of representatives from both Locals and management, for their review and approval. All of the approved nominations are then forwarded to the Fire Chief for final approval. The awards are as follows: Medal of Honor Medal of Valor The 2009 recipients were: Distinguished Service Firefighter /Paramedic Dan Ward Engineer Don Kresse Firefighter Nate Brown Firefighter Scott Whitaker Captain Steve Spuler Purple Heart Firefighter Casey Parr Academic Excellence Deputy Chief Andy Hail Distinguished Service Lifesaving Purple Heart Academic Excellence Meritorious Service Community Service Special Unit Citation Meritorious Service Special Unit Citation Assistant Fire Marshal Paul Chase Captain Pat Schaffer Battalion Chief Randy Olson Firefighter Casey Parr Captain Scott Crawford Engineer Pat Hinds Captain Terry Odom IS Specialist Todd Mallery Engineer Jeff Miner Battalion Chief Andy Rorie Firefighter /Paramedic Nick Muzik Firefighter Darrin Coldiron Public Education Captain John Leavell Captain Jon Sprague Captain Scott Crawford Engineer Jeff Miner Engineer Paul Kimball Community Service Captain Jeff Bordwell Captain Mark Hill Firefighter Darrin Coldiron Citizen Lori Bucher Citizen Erika Clute Engineer Craig Warzon Firefighter /Paramedic Travis Richardson These are great people that are doing great things for the communities they serve. It's a pleasure to be the Fire Chief of an organization that has this caliber of employees and due to their hard work and effort is being recognized as a "premier" fire department in the state. 4rticfe provideddy CftiefYike'Thompson Page 2 EMS DIVISION 0 N PARAMEDIC CLASS 2008/2009 ca Spokane Valley Fire Department currently has three Department sponsored II employees who have completed their paramedic course at Spokane Commu- nity College. By the time this article goes to press, David Baird, David Sanchez, and Jeff Fraser should all be Washington State Department of Health certified paramedics. Congratulations are in order to all three of these men. "Firefighters Save Hearts and Homes" ADVANCED CARDIAC LIFE SUPPORT TRAINING MANIKINS The Spokane Valley Fire Department recently pur- chased six Advanced Life Support pediatric training manikins. As seen from in the photo, these manikins .� will allow our paramedics to practice airway control, in- ., & travenous access, intraosseous access, and other skills on infants. The Department has very few pediatric 9 -1 -1 t c responses; therefore, having the ability to practice j these skills is invaluable when the real emergency oc- "i curs. By providing a manikin in each paramedic station, our medics can practice these skills without having to leave their station. This allows the fire apparatus to stay in their first run response area, which in turn allows for a quicker response to 9 -1 -1 calls. WELLNESS The Spokane Valley Fire Department recently embarked on a mission to investigate and implement a new workout program. The program chosen was CrossFit, a core strength and conditioning program that is cur- rently used by police and fire agencies nationwide. The new program was used as the physical fitness regimen during the 2009 Regional Fire Academy, which lasted approximately 13 weeks. The results from the imple- mentation of CrossFit were better than expected. Following the 13 weeks, all probationary firefight- ers demonstrated improved performance in areas of aerobic capacity, muscular strength /endurance, and flexibility. The Department was so pleased with the results that CrossFit has now become the official workout program to be used during Regional Fire Academy training. We have also purchased enough CrossFit equip- ment to completely outfit six of our 10 stations. A fitness challenge was recently conducted involving the five 2009 probationary firefighters. The goal was to identify which firefighters were maintaining their physical conditioning throughout their first year of employ- ment. The fitness challenge workout was titled "Fight- Gone - Bad," an extremely intense CrossFit -style workout. Results were compared against those obtained during the Regional Fire Academy training. All five probation- ary firefighters performed exceptionally well! Two firefighters, FF Smith and FF Bellefeuille, outshined the rest. In the end, the competition was decided by less than 1 %. The winner, Todd Bellefeuille, was presented with a new Ben 11 helmet (pictured on the next page). Congratulations Todd! Pa (re TRAINING DIVISION Ice Recue recertification training was conducted in the 1St week of January. The training took place at Liberty Lake. A new Hazardous Materials and Weapons of Mass Destruction training pro- gram was launched that same month. Fire Behavior training began in January, with several more lessons planned throughout the year. Five new recruits were hired on the 1St of February and were assigned to at- tend an academy com- bined with recruits from the Spokane Fire De- partment. The combined 2010 Regional Academy will run for 12 weeks with graduation on April 30th. The recruits will learn = the basics of firefighting and - `=R =; emergency medical skills while attending this academy. Fire crews attended drills in February to practice nozzle work and hose handling tech- niques inside buildings. March training included a wellness class, emergency driver training, water rescue awareness, tech rescue, and pump operations.

KEEP SAFE KEEP GOING PROGRAM For 22 years, the Change Your Clock Change Your Battery® cam- paign has urged Americans to change smoke alarm and carbon mon- oxide detector batteries when changing clocks back to standard time each fall. The International Association of Fire Chiefs have extended their efforts to also include a spring and summer preparedness re- minder to help people stay safe during power outages that may occur from severe weather. The Energizer Keep Safe Keep Going campaign encourages citizens to make sure they have a well- stocked emergency power kit pre- pared when power outages strike. It also reminds them to never use candles for light during blackouts. It is important to remain prepared and ready for any severe weather that may arise, especially during the spring and summer, when storms are most prevalent. On the first day of spring, March 20, we were reminded to pre- pare an emergency power kit for our family and to make sure it includes fresh batteries, flashlights, battery powered radios, and portable battery powered cell phone chargers. The Change Your Clock Change Your Battery program continues to focus efforts on the fall time change. ftevention Division Articles provided 6y Assistant Eire - Vlarshafl (Public Information Officer c8iff Offord CERITArticfe provided 6y CEW7'(Program (Director Captain (13ruce Yfainner Investigations Article and 0totos provided 6y (Deputy Fire _TarshafCCfton - Tehaffey Page 5 INVESTIGATIONS 27 -1St Quarter Investigations with an estimated $608,500 in property damage. 10— Intentional /Criminal fires causing an estimated $79,000 in property dam- age.

The International Fire Code requires the person conducting the "Hot Work" to have a fire extinguisher ready and also to remain at the scene for at least 30 minutes to watch for indications of fire.

Page 6 BEYOND THE YELLOW RIBBON Firefighters from throughout the area participated in a No Limit Texas Hold'em Poker Tournament o sponsored by 1- 800- BOARDUP March 13th at the Owl Club Casino in the Spokane Valley. The event was a charity fundraiser event for the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program in conjunction with the Ca a Spokane Valley Firefighters Benevolent Association. Thirty -two players that included career, volunteer, and retired firefighters from both Spokane and cc Kootenai County came together to play in the first ever poker tournament of its kind in the area. Six local combat veterans also played in the event and were sponsored by a number of firefighters from the Spokane Valley Fire Department and Spokane County Fire District 8. The event was a tre- mendous success raising just over $1500 for the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon program in a single afternoon of friendly poker and food. The Owl Club Casino welcomed the firefighters and made the event both fun and educational for the first time poker players that participated. The dealers were friendly and very helpful. The food provided to the players by 1- 800- BOARDUP was plentiful and delicious. "It was a great opportunity to play poker, meet other firefighters from the area, and to talk with some of our local wounded warriors," said Bob Capaul, a retired volunteer firefighter from Kootenai County Fire and Rescue. Ty Brunner from the City of Spokane Fire Department said "It was a great event for a good cause" and he was looking forward to the next one. The big winners of the event were Bob Watts, retired Lt. from Spokane Valley FD; Pat Larive, retired Engineer from the Spokane Valley FD; and Bruce Hamner, Captain with the Spokane Valley FD. These three final table players split $1280 between them, not a bad payout for a couples hours of food, fun, and camaraderie at the Owl Club Casino. 1- 800- BOARDUP and the members of the Beyond the Yellow Ribbon Committee would like to thank all that participated in the event. It was a great success, and the generosity of the players is appre- ciated. The money raised will be used to finance the 2010 Beyond the Yellow Ribbon combat veter- ans retreat and fund an emergency needs account for veterans with immediate financial needs. HONOR GUARD This quarter, the Honor Guard was as busy as ever, participating in events ranging from large -scale cele- brations to memorials, both public and private. January found members contributing to the services for the tragic law enforcement deaths in Pierce and Grant Counties. In the same month, the guard opened the ceremony at our own employee awards dinner. In February, the majority of the Honor Guard came out to pay tribute to the life and service of a retired SVFD member. March was busy again, with the St. Pat- rick's Day parade and celebrations being the most visible event. Contingents also kicked off ceremonies for Fire District 4's employee awards dinner and the retirement luncheon for a Spokane Airport Fire- fighter. In between these events, planning and practice meetings were conducted, helping to maintain the high level of decorum in the Honor Guard. CASK & KEG Page 7 On March 26 1 h, the Benevolent Association held its annual Cask & Keg Fundraiser at the Mirabeau Park Hotel. The evening was attended by approximately 200 people who enjoyed the tastes of six local winer- ies and five regional breweries. Over 100 auction items were available between silent and live auctions. Some of the featured items included a two night stay on the Oregon Coast, a custom painted fire hydrant, a barbeque, and dorm fridge painted by Engineer Eric Swanson, and a custom made framed stained glass made by Captain Bruce Hamner. Through the generosity of our donors and attendees, we raised over $6,000 to continue our support of the community. A very heartfelt thank you goes out to all who par- ticipated and supported us. For those who are just learning about our organization, here is a little infor- mation about who we are and what we do. The Spokane Valley Firefighters' Benevolent Association was established in April 1999 to assist firefight- ers and their families with financial assistance in times of hardship and to help meet the charitable needs of the community at large. A Board of Directors, made up of active /retired Spokane Valley Fire Depart- ment (SVFD) personnel and citizens, reviews each request for funding at monthly meetings. In order for a request to be granted, there must be funds available and a demonstrated benevolent need. Funding for the benevolent association comes from SVFD personnel themselves (through the United Way) and from revenue generated from semi - annual raffles and a wine tasting/auction. As the association has grown, it has been able to spread out to assist and support other firefighters and citizens throughout the country. Fire Departments represented and involved with the benevolent association are the Spokane Valley Fire Department, Spokane County Fire District #8, and IAFF Locals #876, 3701, and 3711.

This national program was started in January 2002 by President Bush to capture the spirit of service after September 11, 2001. "Citizen Corps was created to help coordinate volunteer activities that will make our communities safer, stronger, and better prepared to respond to any emergency situation. It provides opportunities for people to participate in a range of measures to make their families, their homes, and their communities safer from the threats of crime, terrorism, and disasters of all kinds." If you would like to give volunteer time back to your community, but our CERT (Community Emergency Response Team) training is not for you, there are other programs under the CCP umbrella.

The meeting was very well attended. Several items were discussed, such as location, access, needs, design, maintenance, funding, etc. Staff is continuing to research the possibilities. • We are moving forward with the Park Master Plan process. Recent developments include: o A selection process considering four landscape architect firms was conducted. Mike Terrell was chosen and contracted to develop the Park Master Plan to include site investigation, surveying and mapping, conduct meetings, draft, design, etc. o The first community meeting is scheduled for April 7, 2010 to discuss a conceptual plan. Surveys will be distributed to the community for their input on the vision, goals, and design of the park. o Funding for park development is inadequate at the present time. o In order to hold onto the $500,000 in state funding we currently have for this project, the City will need to demonstrate the ability to actually develop the project in a timely manner. • We are also preparing to submit a grant application to the Recreation Conservation Office (RCO) for Greenacres Park development funds. The application is due May 3, 2010. • To better serve our customers, staff continued re- working and improving our park policies regarding reservations, vendors, and special events. • We began taking reservations in January for the new calendar year for park facilities, and will continue to do so until October 15, 2010. CENTERPLACE: • A non - exclusive contract for Food Services was approved for Glover Mansion Events LLC, dba Red Rock Catering. For the convenience of our customers, Red Rock will provide food and alcohol to groups utilizing CenterPlace. The contract is for one year and has the ability to be renewed for five additional years. • The marketing contract is being renewed with Marketing Solutions of Spokane Valley. This contract is to provide marketing coordination for various items such as television commercials, airtime negotiations and placement, direct mail distribution and magazine/ newspaper ad scheduling. • Staff completed questionnaires and other forms were submitted to the Washington Parks and Recreation Association to nominate Peggy Doering as Citizen of Merit for her volunteer efforts and coordination of Valleyfest for over 20 years. The awards will be announced at the April 15, 2010 Washington Recreation and Parks Association awards banquet in Tacoma, Washington. • CenterPlace staff took 284 CenterPlace reservations this quarter, which includes events such as meetings /seminars, weddings /receptions, and community events. While this number is 22 fewer than last year this quarter, revenue was higher by $2,500 compared to the first quarter of 2009. This may be attributed to our new wedding and reception package pricing, which has proven to be very popular. RECREATION AND AQUATICS: Winter 2010 Recreation Program cost recovery is 114.26 %. • Spring /Summer Recreation Brochure was designed, published and distributed through our mailing list, The Spokesman- Review, and to schools. We used a glossy cover for the first time, which presents a more durable and professional look. Registration for spring /summer programs began in March. • We partnered with the City of Liberty Lake and co- offered our first program. The Spring Break Theatre Camp was hosted in the CenterPlace Auditorium, and it was a success. • We began a partnership and planning with Spokane County and the City of Spokane to offer a joint Dodgeball League for adults and a tournament for youth.

This individual had been investigated by Spokane Valley Police Det. Kirk Keyser since the counterfeit checks began showing up last December. Some checks were produced to look like payroll checks while other phony checks were used to purchase merchandise. Detectives executed a search warrant on the suspect's home following his arrest and seized a washer and dryer that are believed to have been purchased with a counterfeit check. Investigators also seized 15 computer hard - drives, a safe, 13+ laptop computers, a pair of flat - screen televisions and numerous other computer components. The investigation revealed that the suspects passed the phony checks in Washington, Idaho and Oregon. It appears checking account numbers were frequently stolen from outgoing mail at residential and roadside mailboxes. The detective said that he expects additional arrests and criminal charges as he continues his investigation into the individual's activities. Traffic statistics for 2009 - Even though traffic deaths in Washington State reached a 50 -year low in 2009 (see link http: / /Nvww.wtsc.wa.gov /pie /releases /2009Fatals.php last year was a deadly and busy year for fatality and serious injury collisions in Spokane County. • The Spokane County Sheriffs Office investigated a total of 17 fatal and 15 serious injury crashes in 2009. (These numbers do not reflect what the Spokane Police Department or the Washington State Patrol investigated within their respective jurisdictions.) The sheriffs office investigated only 13 fatality crashes in 2008. • The 32 total crashes represent those collisions that occurred on county roadways or within the city limits of Spokane Valley. There were two fatalities and two serious injury collisions that occurred in the City of Spokane Valley. Page 3 • The uses of drugs and/or alcohol, along with speeding, were the top two contributing factors in these collisions (18 out of the 32 or —56% for both factors). The non -use of seatbelts also contributed in 8 out of 32 crashes or approximately 25 %. • In addition, the past year really affected teen drivers. Nine out of the 32 or —28% of the crashes involved drivers age 16 -19. One of the fatal collisions involved a 16- year -old female who was talking on a cell phone at the time of the crash. • The primary reason for emphasis patrols, like Driver Hammered Get Nailed and Click It or Ticket, is to reduce the amount of traffic deaths and injuries on our roadways. The Spokane Valley Police Department has in the past and will continue into the future to participate in these emphasis patrols to make Spokane Valley roadways safer. Man Assaulted in Home Invasion Robbery — In mid - March, unknown persons entered a residence and assaulted the homeowner who was sleeping. Two male suspects forced their way into a residence on East Broadway in Spokane Valley and confronted the sleeping homeowner with a knife. The two suspects assaulted the resident and stole a handgun, prescription meds and gold coins. Responding Spokane Valley Police units were not able to determine which direction the suspects left nor is it known whether the suspects were on foot or had access to a vehicle. One suspect is described as a white male, 20 years old, 5' 11 ", thin build, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt and armed with a knife. The other suspect is described as a white male, 35 -40 years old, 5'11", medium build, wearing a grey hooded sweatshirt. Both suspects were wearing gloves. The homeowner was hit on the head and suffered a broken finger. Detectives responded to the scene to begin an investigation. Stolen Property Seized, Suspects Arrested - Thousands of dollars in stolen property were recovered from two homes, a rented garage and two storage units. The search warrants, five one day and one a couple of days later, came after a months -long investigation that brought all the investigative elements of the sheriffs office together in a new investigative protocol known as Information -Led Policing. Spokane Valley property crimes detectives determined a string of burglaries and vehicle break -ins had begun last November and the methods seemed to indicate a recurring suspect or group of suspects were committing the crimes. Using the ILP process, the sheriff s new analysis unit (SPOCAT), detectives, patrol representatives and supervisors began meeting to plan an attack. The analysts identified a 36- year -old male as a likely suspect. In mid - March, Spokane Valley Police patrol units found the suspect in a stolen car and arrested him after a short vehicle and foot pursuit. The suspect was charged with Third- Degree Driving while Suspended, Possession of Methamphetamine, Second - Degree Identity Theft and Second - Degree Possession of Stolen Property. While being interviewed, the suspect admitted to committing 20 burglaries and shared locations where stolen property was stored or had been traded for drugs. Detectives followed up on those locations making arrests of numerous individuals to include a multitude of charges to include traffic, drugs, identity theft, outstanding warrants, and/or possession of stolen property. Detectives recovered a stolen motorcycle from a storage unit, miscellaneous items from various residences, and other stolen property from a storage trailer. However, it was a rented garage in the 6000 block of East Clements Lanes where so much stolen property was found, detectives had to rent a large box van to haul it away. Spokane Valley Property Crimes Sgt John Nowels said that analysts had provided a list of about one hundred burglary and vehicle prowling victims that detectives will use to try to match property to specific crimes. He added that the investigation would continue as new leads and suspects are developed. Shooter, Woman In Custody After Crash - A man wanted in connection with a February shooting and his female companion were in police custody after they attempted to elude an officer and crashed on Sprague Avenue beneath Interstate 90. Both the male driver and female passenger were both injured when he struck a median, rolled the vehicle while attempting to flee from officers in the evening hours, at speeds in excess of 60 mph, perhaps because he has an outstanding warrant for First - Degree Assault. As the car began burning, officers pulled the passenger from the wreckage and determined she was wanted on a misdemeanor warrant charging her with Third - Degree Driving while Page 4 Suspended. The driver had been ejected from the vehicle. Detectives had been looking for the male suspect since a late - February shooting incident at the King's Square Apartments, where the suspect had confronted a man in the apartment complex with a noise complaint. When the male entered his apartment to end the confrontation, the suspect fired a shot through the apartment wall that narrowly missed a toddler sleeping inside. Both suspects injured in the vehicle crash were transported to a downtown hospital for evaluation and treatment. They have subsequently been booked into jail. • Gambling Commissioner Search Warrant - At the end of March, two Spokane Valley Police officers assisted the Gambling Commission on a search warrant in the Spokane Valley. The Gambling Commission asked for our assistance on this matter and received our complete cooperation. Our officers blocked the street and maintained uniform presence during the search warrant. We also transported the suspect to jail and processed drugs that were found during the search warrant service. With the assistance of Valley officers, the Gambling Commission was able to serve the warrant safely and successfully. The Washington State Gambling Commission and particularly their agents assigned to the Spokane area extended their thanks for our department's assistance, and look forward to working closely with the Spokane Valley Police Department on other matters of mutual interest. • Three Arrested In Burglary Spree - A Spokane Valley Police detective is seeking 30 felony charges against two men and a woman believed responsible for a string of burglaries and vehicle thefts that plagued local law enforcement from November 2009 to February of this year. The detective has forwarded to the Spokane County Prosecutor's Office an affidavit requesting these suspects be charged with numerous counts of burglary, theft, malicious mischief and thefts of motor vehicles. He also is seeking one count of money laundering and one count of trafficking in stolen property. The charges stein from burglaries committed at a Conoco on West Indian Trails Road in November, and December burglaries at Divines on North Division, Divines on West Second, a Quick Stop on West Northwest Blvd, and a Tesoro on East Seventeenth. In February, the suspects hit a Shell Station on North Argonne Road, a Shell on North Sullivan Road, and a Taco Bell on East Sprague, all in the Spokane Valley. Losses in stolen property and property damage totaled in the tens of thousands of dollars. A 19 -year -old male suspect and 20- year -old female suspect visited local car lots and made spare keys while test - driving vehicles. The two male suspects would then return at night and use the keys to steal vehicles, which they in turn used in business burglaries. At the conclusion of the investigation, the Spokane Valley detective levied 25 felony counts each against the three suspects along with 4 misdemeanors. • Officer Gives Lifesaving Assistance to Driver - While in route to a burglary call, a Spokane Valley police officer observed a vehicle exit a business parking lot, cross the street without slowing down, went over a small retaining wall, through a chain link fence, and crash into a parked car. The officer advised other officers he was responding to the vehicle crash scene, to send other officers to the burglary, and went to locate the driver. The vehicle was found to still be running and in drive. The driver was slumped back in the driver's seat, mouth open, and the officer noticed the victim was not breathing. Another officer also responded to this scene. Because the car was locked and all the windows were rolled up, the officers forced entry into the vehicle and found the driver unresponsive. The male driver was removed from the vehicle by officers who perforined chest compressions until Fire EMS arrived and took over medical care. It was later determined that the driver suffered a major heart attack and the actions taken by Spokane Valley officers likely saved his life. Fire personnel commended the officers for their lifesaving efforts. • Panhandling — Deputies observed three transients working the Sprague /Pines intersection at the same time, at different corners. They noted one of them was drunk and angry at all the others for working his intersection without his permission. That panhandler apparently chased one female panhandler off and claimed the other one assaulted him by pulling a knife on him. A Denny's employee saw the confrontation and said no assaults occurred. One of the panhandlers told the deputy he used to work Page 5 only in the City of Spokane until they passed the ordinances. Now they all come here. Spokane Valley Police continues monitoring this concern. • Kudos: Every once in awhile, we receive a simple comment from the public, that reaffirms the job we do each day to keep the public safe: "You guys rock! I saw you on the way to the Evergreen bust this evening. Thank you for your courage and for all you do to keep us protected and safe! God bless you!"

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: April 27, 2010 City Manager Sign -off: Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing ® information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Broadway Avenue Safety Project #0063 GOVERNING LEGISLATION: PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of the 3 -lane conversion of Broadway Avenue — Pines Rd to Sullivan Rd as part of the Broadway Avenue Overlay Project; Discussion of preliminary collision data on Broadway Ave between Pines Road and Sullivan Road on April 29, 2008 and June 16, 2009; Approval of the 2010 -2015 Six Year Transportation Improvement Plan on June 16, 2009, which included the Broadway Avenue Safety Project - Park to Pines. BACKGROUND: In 2006, the City of Spokane Valley applied for a FY2008 grant from the Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) in the amount of $746,280 for improvements to Broadway Avenue between Park Road and Pines Road. The project will restripe Broadway to a three -lane section with bike lanes. Additionally, sidewalk will be moved or obstructions removed and ramps will be upgraded for ADA compliance. Staff met with representatives of Central Valley and West Valley School Districts in mid -March 2010 to discuss the project's impacts on students attending Broadway Elementary and North Pines Junior High (CVSD) and Centennial Middle School and Ness Elementary (WVSD). Design for the project is approximately 30% complete, and options for acquiring right of way (where necessary) are being developed. Construction is expected in summer 2010. OPTIONS: Information only. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Information only. BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Total project estimate is $932,850; 80% ($746,280) to be paid with a state TIB grant, 20% ($186,570) to be paid with local matching funds. Total design estimate is $113,000, with approximately $45,000 spent to date in consultant work and staff time. STAFF CONTACT: Ken Knutson, Project Engineer Steve Worley, Senior Capital Projects Engineer ATTACHMENTS 1) Project Summary Sheet, 2) Presentation made to Council on June 16, 2009, 3) Minutes from previous council meetings. Broadway Ave Safety Project Information Scope of protect Project will restripe Broadway to a three -lane roadway with a continuous two -way left turn lane (TWLTL) and two 5 -ft bicycle lanes. Sidewalk ramps will be upgraded to ADA compliance. Utilities, traffic signs and mailboxes will be relocated or additional sidewalks will be constructed to meet ADA minimum clear zone requirements. Timing: Design in spring 2010, construction in summer 2010. Length: 3 miles, Park Road to Pines Road Estimated cost: $932,850 Funding sources: • Washington State Transportation Improvement Board (TIB): $746,280 (2008 grant) • City of Spokane Valley: $186,570 (20% match) Traffic counts: • Average volume: 9,900 veh /day (range from 8,250 veh /day at Park to 11,500 veh /day at Bowdish) • AM Peak hour volume: 350 -400 veh (Eastbound, 11:00 AM — noon) • PM peak hour volume: 550 -600 veh (Eastbound, 5:00 — 6:00 PM) Collision Analysis: Collision data collected between 2003 and 2008 show 216 total collisions, including 1 fatality collision and 83 injury collisions (1 fatality and 115 injured people). Also: • In 83 collisions, one driver was making a left turn (29 involved injuries). • In 24 other collisions, one driver was stopped for traffic (12 involved injuries). • Thirteen collisions were related to turning into or out of a driveway. • Excessive speed was cited as a contributing factor in 21 collisions. • Bicycles were involved in five collisions; pedestrians in three. All of these collisions can be classified as "preventable" and are the result of poor judgment or inattention. Placing the left- turning driver in a center turn lane while waiting for a gap and should reduce the likelihood of both angle and rear -end collisions related to left- turns. Project is consistent with City's Comprehensive Plan: • Land Use Goal #7, "Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles and integrated parking." • Land Use Goal #16, "Provide a street system that connects neighborhoods." • Section 3.2.7.1, "Safety and accessibility are primary concerns in providing access to schools and in providing for the elderly and the disabled." • Forty -four percent of nearly 400 citizens surveyed by Clearwater Research in 2004 on behalf of the City consider making the streets friendlier to pedestrians and bicyclists to be a high priority. Another 34% consider it a medium priority (Section 3.9). • Transportation Goal #9, "Enhance community livability and transportation by encouraging a connected system of pedestrian and bicycle ways that is integrated into a coordinated regional network."

Citizen Comments - "Even though speed limit along Broadway is posted the same in most areas, the added lane of traffic seems to lend itself to speeders, I have noticed a dramatic difference in the average speeds vehicles travel when comparing the traffic from Pines to Sullivan Rd as compared to the traffic speeds between Pines and Park Rd." Fire and Police Comments • Fire — Neutral, overall road width is major factor in response time. • Police — Prefer 4 lane. Think volumes are too high west of Pines for conversion. Staff Recommendation • Move forward with Safety Project • Option - Conduct a survey - get comments from residents and regular drivers of Broadway - mail route along Broadway from Pines to Sullivan - Come back to Council post - survey with results and recommendation on pursuing the project.

Excerpt from Council meetinz minutes of 6 -16 -2009: 4. Proposed Resolution 09 -009 Adopting 2010 — 2015 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) — Steve Worley It was moved by Councilmember Wilhite and seconded to approve Resolution 09 -009 adopting the 2010 2015 Six Year TIP as presented. Engineer Worley explained that as we do annually, this is a look at the projects forthe next six years; and said there were no changes as a result of the public hearing. Mayor Munson asked about item six, the "Broadway Avenue Safety Project, Pines (SR -27) to Park" and asked what the cost would be if only the ADA improvements were done, and whether we would still be able to receive some of the federal grant money. Mr. Worley said most likely not; that TIP is state- funded rather than federally funded; and the main part of the project is the safety improvement of re- stripping; that the ADA and sidewalk are typically required for any project TIB does, the re- striping is the main part. Mayor Munson invited public comment; no comments were offered. Mayor Munson said he is not convinced we will achieve what we want by changing the stripping, and therefore moved, seconded by Councilmember Dempsey, to amend the motion to strike 4 6from the TIP. Councilmember Gothmann voiced his objection and said he feels such a motion is premature when we haven't heard the data yet, and suggested council have that d iscussion n ow. A s a result, M ayor M unson a nd t he s econder w ithdrew their in otion; and Councilmember W ilhite a nd t he s econder w ithdrew t heir in otion; and C ouncil p roceeded to di scuss agenda item #10, the "Broadway Avenue Safety Project." 10. Broadway Avenue Safety Proiect — Inea Note /Steve Worley Mr. Worley explained what the project entails, followed by Ms. Note's explanation of the analysis of the changes. Mr. Worley said that this project is to create a safer Broadway from Park to Pines; he said this is not a grind and overlay; and he showed some of the areas lacking the ADA improvements. Ms. Note shared some of the results of the previous projects, including slides showing the safety benefits of three lanes, and upda ted cha rts of t raffic v olumes and accident statistics be fore a nd after t he t hree -lane conversion. Mayor Munson said if the re- stripping won't achieve what we want it to, then it is not causing a big difference and why spend the money; adding that he hasn't seen any evidence that the $187,000 is well spent; but feels the ADA improvements are necessary and would like to find some way to do that. Deputy Mayor Denenny mentioned that previously people had commented changing to three lanes would make it more difficult moving in and out of driveways, but the data shows just the opposite. Mr. Worley mentioned that since we received information on this grant, there isn't time to evaluate that area further and we have to decide whether or not to move forward; that some of the statistics may have been affected by t he 1 ast t wo v cry ha rsh w inters, a nd t he I -90 c onstruction in ay ha ve i ncreased t he co llision rates. Council /staff discussion continued with mention by Mayor Munson that he feels there is an intersection problem on Broadway r ather than a lane p roblem; and Councilmember S chimmels st ating t hat i f w e condemn a three -lane road we would also have to condemn 32n 16 Mission and more; that this is a safety issue; and in moving from Park to Pines there are six schools with cross - traffic, that crossing a three lane road is far less dangerous than trying to cross four lanes. Mr. Worley said that staff recommends moving forward with this safety project to try to reduce some of the collisions. Attorney Connelly added that when making a decision about traffic safety, Council needs to give a substantial degree to the experts as to what is safe and what isn't because if he needs to defend the City against an action if someone gets hurt, it is best if that action was done relying on those qualified to make the decision deemed to be most safe. Councilmember Dempsey mentioned that four lanes is a safety issue and she avoids Broadway east of Pines as it is not an easy road to travel; that bike lanes don't make it easier to travel and since she's been living on Sergeant Road, it appears the bikes lanes are not used very much and feels we could get better safety results from intersections by having left -turns instead of through the re- stripping and taking away a lane in each direction; and she mentioned there is no access for the handicapped. Ms. Note said an option on the intersections is they could separate the directions of travel fairly easily and it would operate like Broadway and Evergreen before being converted to the three lanes, and would be the least expensive; or could widen the area at the intersection and make it five lanes and put in a turn. Deputy Mayor Denenny mentioned how much he and his wife feel the bike lanes are wonderful, and even aid with the children walking to school as sometimes they would walk in the curb, and having a bike lane would prevent them from walking right next to traffic. Mayor Munson said he sees no evidence of improvement, that there is not enough data, and we are running low on REET funds (real estate excise tax); that there are other places to spend the money; and regarding school safety, he feels what w e ar e do ing c urrently i s w orking a s t here ha ve be en no accidents w ith ki ds be ing hi t; a nd i n looking c loser at the effective us e of funding, s aid t he onl y be nefit he c an s ee i s that f rom t he A DA improvements. Council then moved back to agenda item 44. Back to Item #4: Proposed Resolution 09 -009 adopting the 2010 -2015 six -year TIP It was moved by Councilmember Wilhite and seconded to approve Resolution 09 -009 adopting the 2010- 2015 six year TIP as presented. It was then moved by Mayor Munson and seconded, to remove item w 6 from the TIP. Councilmembers discussed the issue including a mention from Councilmember Gothmann that the data shows accident reductions and since ADA is required; he prefers to keep it; Councilmember Dempsey said she feels we could find someplace to put that funding besides re- stripping; Councilmember Schimmels said it is a positive project; and we get our money's worth, and it makes for calmer driving; Councilmember Taylor mentioned that he drives that section often, voted against it originally but believes the change is positive and safer for pedestrians and kids. Vote by Acclamation on the amended motion to remove #6: In Favor: Mayor Munson and Councilmember Dempsey; Opposed: Deputy Mayor Denenny and Councilmembers Schimmels, Gothmann, Taylor and Wilhite. Abstentions. None. Motion to amend failed. Mayor M unson i nvited pu blic comment on the o riginal in otion to approve Resolution 09 -009 adopting the 2010 -2015 TIP as presented. Mary Lloyd, 11216 E 13 said she had a couple issues with ADA; s he 1 ikes A DA i mprovements; 1 ikes t he i dea of dr opping t he s peed 1 imit; a nd que stioned if widening the easement and widening the sidewalk would mean having to buy right -of -way; she said that Broadway scares her because of the curb type two inlets due to stormwater and suggested that needs to be improved; and she questioned what this would do to the level of service; she said she understands traffic well and feels the schools do a wonderful job of slowing down traffic in those areas; and asked Council to think about how ch anges cha nge t raffic, as i t g enerally in akes more pe ople i inpatient. Vote by Acclamation on the motion to approve Resolution 09 -009 adopting the 2010 -2015 TIP as presented: In Favor: Unanimous. Opposed: None. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
