Mayor Towey called the meeting to order at 6 p.m. and welcomed everyone to the meeting.
1. Legislative Update — Briahna Taylor
Governmental Affairs Consultant Briahna Taylor, of Gordon Thomas Honeywell Governmental Affairs,
gave an update of the previous legislative session. She gave a quick overview of the last short legislative
session, which she said was the second of a two -year bi- annum; that cuts were made in 2009 and more in
2010, and said the cuts were necessary to resolve the budget deficit, along with decreased federal
appropriations and increased general taxes. She went over Council's 2010 Legislative priorities and said
those items received very little attention because the budget took up a great deal of time; and she gave a
synopsis of Council's 2010 Legislative priorities: (1) Street Utility Legislation: she explained that this has
been on for multiple years and had it passed, would have given cities authority to impose a street utility
fee; that it would not have been a mandate, but would have been yet another option for revenues and
would have operated similar to any other utility fees, and said this did not pass since there were other
upcoming taxes and the legislators did not want to add to the list. Ms. Taylor said the legislation has been
refined concerning the calculation of trips, etc., so it could come back in the future if council wished to
continue to push it forward. (2) Funding for E -911 (Enhanced 911): explained that this was for improving
the 911 system and has been on the city's legislative agenda for multiple years; that some improvements
were made but it also did not move forward. (3) Public Records Request Legislation: explained that this
was a fairly successful piece of legislation; and she explained that with this legislation, when there is a
public record request, if the requested document is on the entity's website, staff can fulfill the public
record request by providing a link to the document instead of printing out the document.
She explained that priorities for Park Road Pool Land and for the Transportation Intersection were not
successful this year since the state budget is not in good shape; but reminded everyone that this City
received $200,000 for the Greenacres Park in 2009, but said we are not likely to get funding for the
second round. She explained that the remaining priorities did not come up but would be issues to consider
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 1 of 14

DRAFT
in moving forward. Ms. Taylor said she would like to receive Council's 2011 priority ideas by August;
and Council expressed appreciation to Ms. Taylor for her work, professionalism, research and knowledge.
2. Panhandling — Ian Roberts
Mr. Robertson explained that the theme for Spokane Valley Partners concerning panhandling, is "Change
for the Better," he discussed the importance of community education in helping the disadvantaged in our
community, and said they encourage citizens to donate to local agencies which can offer real help,
stressing that this is not a place for government or tax money; that they want to educate the public and if
they want to give, their generosity is needed with the agencies which can help; and said that Spokane
Valley Partners is urging citizens to participate in a one -stop giving; and he mentioned the idea of a dollar
tree that was previously used to help the food banks which resulted in over 80,000 pounds for the needy
in just six months, he said in speaking with the homeless, many want the city to set up a homeless camp
but Mr. Robertson said that won't happen, and said his organization wants to work with those who
generally want to make a change for the better; that free meals are offered by numerous churches and
organizations, and shelters such as Hearth Homes generally has room. Mr. Robertson said there are two
things Spokane Valley Partners is asking: one is a resolution that would address pointing to a launch of a
community education campaign to encourage Spokane Valley Partners to assist the disadvantaged; and
the second thing is to have a challenge to set a donation for the "Change for the Better" campaign; he said
they are looking for ten large companies to each donate $2,000; and mentioned that "Joe the Taxi Driver"
is also willing to assist by giving free rides to the homeless to Spokane Valley Partners. Councilmember
Grassel asked about putting the names of volunteer groups on a flyer or other material, and Mr. Robertson
explained that there are over 300 organizations which can assist; that they would prefer not to suggest that
the disadvantaged move from one stop to another for food or shelter, but rather have someplace where
they could go for everything. Councilmember Grassel asked Council to consider adopting Issaquah's
panhandling ordinance and said she feels the situation here is now out of control.
3. Comcast Contract Extension — Cary Driskell
Deputy City Attorney Driskell explained the history of the Comcast contract and of the misunderstanding
of the need for them to return the signed agreement; and that this proposal is to grant an extension to June
11, 2010, to return the signed ordinance to us. Council concurred to move forward with this issue for the
May 11 agenda.
4. Collaborative Planning — Mike Basinger
Planner Basinger went through his PowerPoint presentation explaining the CTED (Community Trade and
Economic Development) Regional Collaboration Grant process, which grant was used to evaluate
differences in land use and development standards, identify fiscal restraints related to annexation, and
explore service delivery options within the metropolitan Urban Growth Areas (UGAs). Mr. Basinger
discussed the coordinated development for UGAs including private roads, connectivity, urban design and
communication, and stressed the need for communication; he said the next steps include an interlocal
agreement; and said that Spokane has agreed to contribute $20,000; Millwood, Airway Heights, Cheney
and Liberty Lake would contribute $5,000; and that we are asked to contribute $10,000; and said that
these funds are necessary in order for the Collaborative Planning committee to continue their
collaborative planning process, which began in 2006. There was discussion about how much has been
given toward this project and where the requested $10,000 would come from; and Mr. Basinger explained
that this has been a regional effort, and that funds would like come from our reserves. Mr. Jackson asked
if council wants staff to bring back a draft agreement and scope of work for council's review and future
motion consideration, and there were no council objections.
5. Six -Year 2011 -2016 Transportation Improvement Plan (TIP) — Steve Worley and Neil Kersten
Engineer Worley explained that this is the first draft of the six -year TIP, and prior to addressing the
projects in the draft TIP, he gave background and an update on how streets are funded and how street
maintenance occurs in Spokane Valley, and he explained that most grants don't fund local access streets,
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 2 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
that grant projects are for arterials only; and he recommended council determine which projects should be
on the TIP and which should not; and that staff would come back with another presentation on pavement
management program so Council can get a better idea on the needs for construction and maintenance, and
afterwards, to discuss the TIP, and said that a public hearing is set for May 25, after which a resolution
would come to council for approval consideration to actually adopt the TIP. Mr. Kersten reminded
council that this is just a plan and they are not committed to the projects, and there are obviously more
projects in each year than there is available funding; but said it is critical to have a good list so when
funding becomes available, and we have projects that score and fit well, we would like to be able to pick
and choose in order to be as successful as possible. He encouraged council to examine the entire list to
make sure there are not projects on the list they are not in favor of; and said this will come back to council
again. Councilmember Grassel asked about coordinating the city's street speed limits as part of this, and
Mr. Kersten explained that would be a separate effort; that they are starting to examine that issue and said
he is not sure if some past complaints in specific areas were the cause of the change in limits; but that
staff can start to look at those areas where people complain; and said the limits should be fairly consistent
unless there is an unusual feature of a street requiring vehicles to slow down; but generally the limits are
35 mph on arterials, and 25 on residentials. Mr. Worley went through his PowerPoint presentation
explaining the street improvement categories of operation and maintenance, pavement management, and
capital grant projects, and said there currently is no funding for pavement management.
Councilmember Grafos asked what is the criteria for choosing projects in the past and how are projects
ranked and could some projects have waited. Mr. Worley said projects are based on need and most are
needed for safety improvements, such as narrow roads, gravel, no sidewalks, and to widen the roads and
bring them up to a safer urban standard, and reiterated the first criteria is need, and the second is how well
does it fit the grant criteria; and Mr. Kersten gave the last Sprague project as an example as the condition
of pavement is important, and the worse condition, the higher it scores. Mr. Worley said in terms of need,
staff also examines where growth is occurring in the valley or in neighboring jurisdictions, such as
Greenacres or Liberty Lake; and Mr. Kersten encouraged council to review the projects. Councilmember
Grassel asked what would need to be done to stop the Broadway Safety improvement project, and could
we move ahead with just the sidewalk part of the project. Mr. Kersten said he can discuss that with the
Transportation Improvement Board but feels that type of change will dramatically change the scope of the
project, and likely the funding would be pulled back as the scoring is based on the whole project, and we
normally can't take out a piece, that likely we would lose it all and would have to re- apply; and said he
feels we likely would not have to pay back what we have already spent, but would lose the remaining
funding. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said the last thing we want to do is gave a grant back, that there is
some conversation circulating that we would be able to table it for a year, but said that doesn't solve the
problem; and reiterated that it is not a good way to do business to give back a grant. Councilmember
Gothmann said concerning the TIB, if you don't have a plan in place, but could put you on a contingency
plan, so they would take the funds and use it elsewhere, adding that the TIB has very strict funding
requirements.
Mayor Towey called for a recess at 7:30 p.m. and reconvened the meeting at 7:44 p.m.
6. Shoreline Master Program — Lori Barlow and Scott Kuhta
Associate Planner Barlow gave an overview of the Shoreline Master Program Update Process. Via her
PowerPoint presentation, Planner Barlow explained the update process; that the top element of "Conduct
Inventory and Analysis" is the most important element of the entire process as all remaining elements are
built on the information compiled in the inventory and analysis; and said this is the basis for the report
before council; and she went over the remaining tasks to do, the completed tasks, the review and staff and
consultant process, purpose and goals of shoreline inventory; and explained that upon completion of all
the listed elements, they will be packed together and run through the local adoption process, which would
be a fonnal process to go before Planning Commission and the Council, and included holding public
hearings and gathering public comment; and afterwards, the report moves to the State level where they
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 3 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
review and adopt the report as well. Ms. Barlow also mentioned that at the time of the last study session,
the comments from the Department of Ecology, the Washington State Department of Fish & Wildlife, and
from the Washington State Parks Department had not been incorporated into the document; and she said
the comments were very good and had some substance to them, but the comments did not change the
analysis or the outcome of any of the conclusions within the report; but served to build a better
foundation. Ms. Barlow said the document has been available for review since about the first week of
April, and the Planning Commission conducted their first public hearing April 22, and said there was no
public testimony offered at that hearing; and the Planning Commission recommended acceptance of the
document via resolution, which will be coming to Council at the next meeting.
Ms. Barlow also mentioned that when the URS Consultants were here, they discussed the information
which was reviewed in compiling the report, and they reviewed over 50 documents and over 130 GIS
map layers; and said staff is hopeful to have conducted an exhaustive review of all available relevant
information concerning this report. Councilmember Grassel said she assumed that the Department of
Ecology will be reviewing anything Council puts forward, and said regarding the significant resources
reviewed, there are a number of agencies listed including the Department of Ecology, USGS, EPA, DNA,
etc., and said there are a number of things stated in the inventory that she would like to have more
evidence presented before she would consider this acceptable; and said for example, under the "Spokane
River Overview" under natural environment there are statements made concerning lack of diversity or
where it discusses native fishery rainbow trout in poor condition, heavy metals, PCB contamination; and
said those kind of statements, that the Department of Ecology will look at that pretty stringently, and said
she would like to know if council can get their documentation and asked if there is a biologist who can
confirm that there truly is heavy metals and PCB contamination and if so, is it at an alarming rate, and
said it doesn't state that in the overview. Mr. Kuhta replied that all the footnotes contain all the sources of
information where the data was gathered; and said it is well documented that there is PCBs and heavy
metals in the river, and said there are cleanup actions going on by the Department of Ecology cleaning up
certain beaches where there are heavy metals deposited; and said these are all issues which have been
raised in the source materials, the fifty documents, and the consultants have reviewed all data sources and
technical reports that they became aware of, to report the river's and river's environment and the
shoreline; and said if Councilmember Grassel wants those specific documents, it would be an exhaustive
list and a large amount of copying, but staff can provide that if council desires. Mr. Kuhta explained that
the reason we hire consultants to do this work, is that they have the technical expertise to go through those
documents and to assimilate the information available; and said except for the field work they have done
where they actually examine the shoreline and characterize it and document plants and animals, all the
data sources are secondary sources; which is common to use when developing such a report.
Councilmember Grassel explained that if we are paying a consultant to present evidence, it is their
responsibility to document for the Council; since they are asking us to approve that this inventory is
correct and accurate, and said she would like to see them put it in some sort of format that council can
read quickly without going through fifty documents; that they state that we have poor condition for
rainbow and trout, and she wants to know their basis for that comment; and for the heavy metals
contamination, they should be able to present evidence that states what their source is, and said she feels
that is not an unreasonable request.
Mr. Kuhta replied that that infonnation is in the footnotes in the document, and directed Council's
attention to Appendix A; he said the slides in the PowerPoint presentation are merely a summary of what
is contained in the report; and if council looks through the details of the report, the source is cited and
Appendix A has a list of all the documents prepared and depended upon; and said everything has been
well documented. Mayor Towey said Council did not receive appendix A, but upon further discussion it
was determined Councilmembers all received the shoreline master program notebook which contains all
the appendices, including Appendix A; and Mr. Kuhta said if council has any questions on any of the
sources, the consultant will be on hand at the next council meeting. Councilmember Grassel said some of
the documentation is written in terms that only a scientist might be able to read. Mr. Kuhta confirmed
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 4 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
that the consultant reviewed very technical documents, which is why they review the documents and then
make statements similar to "the habitat is degraded" or "the habitat is in good shape" and said the attempt
in the report is to take the technical language from the resources, and put it into language in the report
which is easily understood. Mr. Jackson said staff will attempt to identify specific questions that the
consultant can address next week.
Mr. Kuhta asked Council if staff should proceed to prepare the resolution to accompany the information
and be ready for next week; or have further discussion prior to considering a resolution. Councilmember
Grassel said if we are not in a hurry, she would prefer to have the consultant in to answer questions, so
council can understand the inventory prior to approving the document. Councilmember Grafos agreed to
bring in the consultant; and said perhaps the information that is needed is, if a certain area is degraded,
but by what percentage, and how bad is the area in question. Councilmember Gothmann said this
document was previously distributed to Councilmembers; and that a biologist and a hydrologist were
before Council to review the document; and said he doesn't have a problem in asking the questions again;
but suggested having the consultants here next week for further clarification, and have council consider a
resolution to accept the report; or at the next meeting determine that more information is needed prior to
considering a resolution. There were no objections to Councilmember Gothmann's suggestion.
Mr. Kuhta said that the Department of Ecology has gone through this inventory in detail and provided a
lot of comments; and made a comment at the Planning Commission hearing that it is the best inventory
chapter they have ever seen, with all the data information; and that a lot of the information and the words
are summarized in the maps, and said the inventory maps show where a lot of the areas are, with circles
around certain unique features, like Junipers, and it will highlight some of those areas, and show some of
those areas which will be good for restoration.
7. Website Update — Carolbelle Branch
Public Information Officer Branch went through her PowerPoint presentation explaining about our
upcoming new website, and that it is expected to launch June 14; that in 2008 we were informed by our
then software company, that they were abandoning the software, and since then, we have been operating
without maintenance or support, thereby placing our website at risk; she said we have approximately half -
a million hits annually and the website is an important tool for community contact. Ms. Branch explained
that some of the added features of the new website include calendars, access to documents via Laserfiche,
and the ability to complete employment applications and citizen action requests on -line.
S. Subarea Plan (SARP) Sprague /Appleway revitalization Plan Economic Analysis — Greg McCormick,
Kathy McClung
Community Development Director McClung said that tonight is the first of two pieces to present to
council, which will form a foundation for further discussions on the SARP, that council can use the
information or not; that staff are not economists and did not put the report together although they will
present the highlights of the report; she said the consultant had a short turn- around time to get the
information to staff, which had a very short turn- around time to get the information into Council's agenda
packet, and once staff started looking at the information, staff had questions and discussed those with the
consultant yesterday, and just this morning received updated information, which will be presented by Mr.
McCormick.
Planning Manager McConmick gave an overview of the economic study completed in 2006 by
ECONorthwest, which study provided some of the basis for the recommendations of the SARP. Mr.
McCormick explained that ECONorthwest is a consulting firm based in Oregon, specializing in
economics and analysis and consulting services, and the company has been in practice for over 35 years,
and they have provided economic information to hundreds of public and private clients. Mr. McCormick
said staff received clarifying information; and brought Council's attention to the packet materials in the
Request for Council Action (RCA) Form, third paragraph under the background section, staff mistakenly
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 5 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
indicated that the Sprague Appleway Corridor had a capacity in 2006 for an additional 7.3 million square
feet of commercial space; which is an issue staff asked ECONorthwest to clarify; and tonight information
will correct that figure. Mr. McCormick said ECONorthwest's charge in 2006 was to provide the city
with an evaluation of the market conditions in the Spokane region in general, and more specifically from
that in the City of Spokane Valley and the Sprague /Appleway corridor; that key questions for the study
included how much commercial development capacity including re- development existed in the corridor;
and secondly how much new commercial development could be supported or the demand for commercial
space given the city's population and income for the area; and what type of residential development was
most likely to occur in the corridor. Earlier this year, a question was asked how would the current
regional and national economic situation impact the findings of the 2006 study; which prompted staff to
contact ECONorthwest to request a "Letter of Opinion" to address that issue, which is included in
tonight's council packet materials.
Mr. McCormick said some of the major findings of the 2006 study were that in 2006 there was an
existing 5.5 million square feet of commercial space in the corridor; the capacity for new commercial in
the corridor was approximately 1.8 million additional square feet; so the 7.3 million in the RCA form
should be 1.8, and the 365,000 square feet per for 20 years should be 90,000 square feet over a 20 year
period; and said using the assumptions in the 2006 study, in looking at the detail, that 1.8 million was
considered by ECO to be a low estimate, and if you apply higher density rates, you could achieve greater
square footage. Further, Mr. McCormick explained that the demand for new development annually was
estimated at 21,000 square feet per year for new retail and 19,000 square feet of new office for a total of
40,000 square feet per year; and said due to this abundance of supply, that had a tendency to lower land
values due to oversupply and lack of demand. Mr. McCormick said there was also information in the
study which examined vacancy rates and rents per square foot; and said the finding for commercial space
was that Spokane Valley had 40% of the commercial space in the suburban region, but had 66% of the
vacant retail space; and further that commercial rents in the city of Spokane Valley were between 50¢ to
$3.00 per square foot less than other parts of the suburban Spokane area. In reviewing the commercial
supply versus the demand, Mr. McCormick said if only the vacant land is considered with no re-
development, such as the new RiteAid on the corner of Pines and Sprague; just looking at the vacant land,
you would see a close match with the 20 -year expected demand and the 20 -year supply; that concerning
the capacity of vacant commercial land, based on the 2006 study that indicates vacancy rates from 1999
through 2006, the average commercial vacancy rate in the City of Spokane Valley was 14.75 %; and said
using that figure as a guide, and multiply that by the total square footage of commercial space within the
corridor, the 5.5 million square feet, that results in a little over 811,000 square feet of vacant commercial
space or buildings within the corridor at any one time; and said if you compare that figure to the existing
vacant commercial building capacity with the demand, you theoretically would have enough vacant
building space to accommodate the 20 -year demand.
Mr. McCormick further explained that a concern was raised regarding the validity of the 2006 findings
given the current local and national economic situation; so staff contacted ECONorthwest and requested a
review of the 2006 study in light of current economies; and requested ECONorthwest to provide a letter
of opinion regarding relative to the findings of that 2006 study; he said that letter was finalized April 27,
2010 and forwarded to the Mayor and City Council; and explained that Terry Moore of ECONorthwest
and the primary author of the study, indicates as noted in the April 27 letter, reiterated that in 2006 there
was approximately 5.5 million square feet of commercial space in the corridor, the seven year vacancy
rate for commercial space in the City of Spokane Valley was 14.75 %, resulting in again average vacant
commercial at any one time of over 811,000 square feet. Mr. McCormick said that in 2006
ECONorthwest concluded that Spokane Valley had substantially more land zoned for retail uses then the
market was likely to need in the next twenty years (see page 3 of the opinion letter), and that the
population in the region will likely grow at the historical average of 1 -2% annually (page 4 of the opinion
letter), and that per capital income and disposable income had been negatively impacted due to the
economic slowdown, and said the reason those are critical numbers is that retail demand is based on the
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 6 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
number of people in the market area and how much disposable income they have; and said if you are
expecting a higher than nonnal growth rate, then you could expect higher than normal demand for retail
space; and said that is not the case presently, and said there are no indications that we should expect
anything other than our normal growth rate of 1 -2% annually.
Councilmember Grassel asked if those figures are taking into consideration just the City of Spokane
Valley or the region; and Mr. McCormick said they look at market area; and there are different market
areas identified in the report for certain uses; for example regional and commercial uses at Spokane
Valley Mall is typically bigger than a commercial area for a grocery store; and said autorow is a good
example of the regional use it draws from a much larger area than some other types of retail uses.
Councilmember Grafos said when the study spoke about the existing square feet of commercial space,
didn't they put in a caveat, and he referred to page 2 where it addresses the supply of commercial space
on the corridor, and where it states "If the entire corridor redeveloped to the density of a typical suburban
strip mall' and Councilmember Grafos said that is not likely here in Spokane Valley, and said "you're
talking about a shopping center all over, from one end of the valley to the other;" and said that's their
caveat. Mr. McCormick said one of the variables they used was the intensity or the level of development;
and how they looked at that in the study, they used a term called "floor /area ratio" which means this is the
ratio between the size or square footage of the building and the square footage of the lot; and said for
example if there is a 10,000 square foot lot and 5,000 square feet of building, that would be considered a
floor /area ratio of .50, and said the number they used for the estimate, the .21 floor area ratio is actually a
pretty conservative number so you would get less square feet if you used that as a multiplier against the
vacant land; and said more typical in this time frame, you would see floor /area ratios that are higher,
perhaps .25 to 35 more typical then the .21; and again by using the .21 floor /area ratio multiplier, it was
conservative in terms of how much capacity, which means there is probably a lot more capacity then what
is actually stated in the report. Further regarding the opinion letter, Mr. McCormick said the letter
concludes that the 2006 forecast for commercial land absorption is still probably justified (page 4), so Mr.
McConnick feels they are stating that the current economy would not really change that in any significant
way, and in reading further, ECONorthwest indicates that if they were conducting that same study today,
the forecast average annual demand would most likely be lower, maybe as low as 10% (see page 5 and 6).
Community Development Director McClung said staff provided a draft letter in council's packet, which
letter needs to be mailed tomorrow for the first gateway commercial zones. Councilmember Grafos said
he has the following suggestions for that letter, and he distributed copies of his proposed letter:
He suggested instead of meeting from 8 -10 a.m. that a more practical meeting time would be 11 a.m. to 1
p.m. or 5 or 5:30 p.m. for the property owners to attend the meeting; and he had the following specific
questions to include in the letter:
"1. Do you understand that this new zone affects the way you use your property?
2. Do you understand that the zone may affect the improvements to your property?
3. If you are a valid commercial use but no longer allowed by this zone, do you understand the
affects of non - conforming use classification
a. do you understand that in the event of a property loss that exceeds 80% of assessed value, you
cannot replace it except in compliance with a use in the present zone?
b. Did you know that the intentional abandonment or non -use of the property for 24 consecutive
months causes non - confonning rights to expire and you must fully comply with the present zone and a
different use?
c. Does your lender and insurance agent know this? If so, what was their comment?
d. Based upon the above non - conforming use restrictions, would you prefer that the plan revert to
the previous zone and remove the non-conforming status?
4. Any other comments about this zone or questions about this zone and its affect upon your use of
the property ?"
Councilmember Grafos said if people are unable to attend, we should have a cominent card sent to the
public that they can comment or go to the City website to make comments concerning their property; and
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 7 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
said he would like to see his letter go out. Councilmember Dempsey said she agrees about enclosing a
card to give people an opportunity to speak, but stated her concern about the combative wording, and
suggested re- wording it to it sounds less combative. Councilmember Grafos asked if it is combative or
just speaking directly to the issue of why we are having a meeting, which is to discuss the citizen's
property and its nonconforming status; and he said he doesn't think the property owners understand
what's happened to their properties through these zone changes. Councilmember Gothmann suggested not
having interrogatory type questions, but declarative sentences, such as "this zoning affects the way you
use your property" or "this zoning may affect the improvements to your property" and said items 3 and 4
assume that every property is nonconforming and he said that is not accurate, and he asked if it is possible
to include a return card. Ms. McClung said that would not pose a problem, and citizens could even use
the back of the letter. Mayor Towey said he feels the number of nonconforming properties has been not
addressed; and Ms. McClung said that will be addressed as we go through the individual zones; and she
said even if someone is nonconforming under the new plan, they still may be nonconforming under the
old plan, or they could be nonconforming under the pre - incorporation zoning; and Mayor Towey said the
point is to make sure citizens understand all that. Councilmember Dempsey agreed she prefers declarative
sentences. Councilmember Grafos said he feels there are a lot of nonconforming properties.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to extend the meeting to 9:30 p.m. Vote by
Acclamation: In, favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Grassel, Grafos,
Dempsey and Gothmann. Opposed: Councilmember McCaslin. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
Councilmember Grafos said he feels it is important that the property owners are informed when they
arrive for the meeting, and when those meetings are conducted, that we have large maps that show the
pre -2007 and interim zoning map when it was incorporated; another large map showing the city -wide
rezones; and a large map showing the SARP rezone October of 2009; and the map showing the
nonconforming property; and said staff should be prepared to talk about some of those issues. Director
McClung said staff will be prepared to discuss the nonconfonning properties as that is one of the main
points of the meetings; and to discuss those nonconforming properties as they relate to the zone in
question; but said that staff will not prepare information about city -wide zoning as there isn't time to
prepare for that; and said those other mentioned maps will be ready for the meetings. Councilmember
Grafos said regarding the SARP properties, if staff has those three maps there: the interim zoning, the
2000 zone change, and a zoning matrix then the property owner can look at the map and see what was and
what changed as it relates to property and property uses. Director McClung said that information will be
available; and she said in relation to Councilmember Grafos's suggested time, the goal is to capture the
most people possible from property owners and business owners, and we usually get more business
people in the morning, and more residential owners at evening, and she expressed concern with having a
meeting across the lunch period; and said we could keep the first meeting 8 a.m. to 10 a.m. and can
always change it later based on turnout. Council concurred. After further brief comments concerning the
letter's structure and contents, Director McClung said she feels she has the essence of the suggestions,
and said since the letter will go out under her signatures, she will do her best to accommodate council's
suggestions.
9. City Manager Recruitment — John Whitehead
Human Resources Manager Whitehead said as a result of the April 20 council meeting where he spoke
about the recruitment process, Council determine they would review and edit the existing City Manager
Position Description, and that staff would bring those comments back to this meeting; and at the April 20
meeting, Council also requested salary information, which he said is included in this council packet. Mr.
Whitehead went through the proposed changes to the Position Description:
1. SUPERVISION EXERCISED: Exercises supervision over all municipal employees and City Contracts
either directly or through subordinate supervisors. — Suggestion by Councilmember Gothmann.
There was Council consensus to accept the change as proposed.

2. Communicates official plans, policies and procedures to staff and the general public. Resolves
complaints from citizens and keeps Council informed of such complaints. — Suggestion by
Councilmember Gothmann.
Councilmember Gothmann asked Mr. Jackson if that statement is appropriate, and Mr. Jackson suggested
to perhaps change it to read "and keeps Council informed of complaints as appropriate."
Councilmember Gothmann said that was agreeable to him, and there were no objections from other
councilmembers.
3. "Performs or assists subordinates in performing duties °4 *s offers and "° "'° *�
Councilmember Gothmann said he deleted those words as they didn't make sense; and Mr. Jackson
agreed that sentence is not well crafted. There were no objections from councilmembers.
4. Sees that all laws and ordinances are faithfully performed. Enforces all contracts the City has with
other parties. — Suggestion by Councilmember Gothmann.
Councilmember McCaslin asked for a legal opinion about the word "enforces" and City Attorney
Connelly said this is fine and simply means that he ensures the contracts are carried out, or the contract
responsibilities of the city are carried out and said he has no problem with that suggestion.
Councilmember Gothmann said he feels there are many citizens who don't understand that is inherent in
these duties. Deputy Mayor Schimmels asked about editing that to read "Enforces and negotiates" and
there were no objections from councilmembers.
5. Attends all meetings of the Council at which attendance may be required by the Council.
Prepares business plan for all departments. Works with department heads to set internal goals and
measurements for each deaartment.
Works with Sheriff s Department, Spokane County, and other entities to solve mutual problems and
increase efficiency and effectiveness of the City.
Assists Council in preparing external goals and measurements for the City.
Supervises the labor nes4otiation process for the City throm4h subordinates as appropriate
Keeps Council informed of State and National issues that could affect the City. Advocates for cit3
concerns in accordance with Council directives. — Suggestions by Councilmember Gothmann.
Councilmember Gothmann said he made these suggestions as there are four functions of management:
planning, organizing, leading and controlling. There were no objections from Councilmembers.
6. Education and Experience (includes suggestions from Councilmember Grafos and Gothmann as noted):
A. Graduation from an accredited four -year college or university with a degree in public administration,
political science, business management or a background of equivalent real world experience in the
management of large multifaceted organizationselase- T relate' field, and fiT-° . - ear-s of e "er- eaee as a
munie -ipal adninist tef. "�efei ed but notTeEtuir -ed. Suggestions by Councilmember Grafos.
The following suggestions were from Councilmember Gothmann:
A. The City Manager will be chosen by the Council solely on tlne basis of his or her executive and
administrative qualifications with special reference to his or her actual experience in or his or her
knowledge of accepted practice in respect to the duties of his or her office.
B. Must have graduated from an accredited four -year college or university with a degree in public
administration, political science, business management or a closely related field.
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 9 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
C. Must have five (5) years of experience as a senior municipal administrator in a city of at least 50
employees.
D. MPA preferred but not required. Working toward an MPA a plus.
E. ICMA credential preferred but not required. Working toward credential a plus.
City Attorney Connelly said that the second paragraph (B) is verbatim from the statute. Councilmember
Gothmann said he feels council should examine the desired education and experience for a city manager;
and he prefers to have a professional city manager; he said the state statutes require having a special
reference to actual experience or knowledge , and said he is concerned that this person is someone who
knows the job; and suggested the job is more than merely managing; and discussed some of the courses a
typical college degree would include, and said that "since the city manager manages everybody who
reports to him has a degree plus certification, all of them, and said such a person should report to a
professional city manager, which is someone who has the professional degree." Councilmember
Dempsey said she prefers Councilmember Gothmann's A above because it allows for experience; and
Mayor Towey agreed it quotes the RCW and said he prefers that as well, and there was Council
consensus to accept Councilmember Gothmann's A above.
Concerning C above and the five years experience, Councilmember McCaslin asked if that negates A and
B, and said he feels C should be stricken, and Councilmember Grassel agreed. Councilmember McCaslin
said that five years requirement is too demanding; and feels it negates A as if you don't have five years
experience as a senior administrator, you'd be "out of the ballpark." Councilmember Gothmann
disagreed and said he felt the experience is warranted, and that it doesn't mean one must have been a city
manager for five years, but has been a member of the "senior staff." Councilmember Grafos agreed with
Councilmember McCaslin. Councilmember Dempsey said in this city of approximately 90,000, we need
someone who can handle a city that size. Councilmember McCaslin asked Mr. Whitehead if he would
supply the city council with the previous city manager's resume, experience, and Mr. Whitehead replied
he could. Councilmember McCaslin added that this Council asked the previous city manager to resign, so
he felt that negates the other city councilmembers' (Dempsey and Gothmann) comments. Mayor Towey
asked if there is a consensus to strike C; and Councilmember McCaslin said he feels C should be omitted,
and Councilmember Grafos and Grassel agreed; but Councilmember Dempsey disagreed. There were no
council comments concerning D and E above.
It was moved by Councilmember Gothmann and seconded to extend the meeting for fifteen minutes. In
Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor &himmels, and Councilmembers Grassel, Grafos, Dempsey and
Gothmann. Opposed: Councilmember McCaslin. Abstentions: None. Motion carried.
7. Necessary Knowledge, Skills and Abilities:
The following suggestions were from Councilmember Gothmann:
A. Considerable knowledge of modern policies and practices of municipal public administration; working
knowledge of municipal operating and capital budgets, finance, administrative law, human resources,
public works, public safety, and community development including land use and Growth Mana eig Went
requirements, knowledge off Open Public Meetings Act requirements There was Council consensus to
accept these changes.
B. Skill in preparing and administering municipal budgets and business plans skill in planning, directing
and administering municipal programs; skill in operating the listed tools and equipment; There was
Council consensus to accept these changes.
The following suggestions were from Councilmember Grafos:

B. Skill in preparing, -a+4 administering and directing the implementation of multidepartment ffR*+k4pa4
budgets; skill iii pl di f t in g and administering municipal programs; skill in operating the listed

After brief discussion, there were no council objections to accepting Councilmember Grafos suggestions
for B above.
8. Tools and Equipment Used:
The following suggestion was from Councilmember Gothmann:
Requires frequent use of personal computer, including e -mail, electronic scheduling, word processing and
spreadsheet programs; calculator, telephone, copy machine and fax machine.
There were no council objections to the proposed changes.
Mr. Whitehead said that he also included CEO salary information; and asked about identifying the salary
of the position so that information could be included in the advertising; and suggested either a flat rate or
a salary range. Mayor Towey stated his preference for a salary range, and suggested since there is an
interim pay, to use that with a range of 10% above and below that figure. There were no council
objections to that suggestion. Mr. Whitehead said he will draft a brochure for our website, and will begin
to recruit for the position locally as per Council's previous direction, and said he will advertise in the
Spokesman Review, the Valley News Herald, Employment Security Work Source, and our city's website.
In response to a question about cost, Mr. Whitehead estimated the recruitment costs would be
approximately $1,000. Mayor Towey said the original estimate was $10,000 for a local recruitment, and
City Attorney Connelly said the difference in cost is the anticipation to pay for travel and
accommodations of applicants to be interviewed; and said even though the advertisement is local, we
could still get applicants from other parts of the county since the information will be on our website, and
council needs to determine whether the cost of transportation of applicants will be included in this
process. Deputy Mayor Schimmels asked if there is a consensus on this information to Mr. Whitehead,
and it appeared there was consensus. Deputy Mayor Schimmels recommended before advertising, that
this Council look in -house before going outside, and to consider Mr. Jackson; he said he does not want a
"rubber stamp" situation; that perhaps this council could interview Mr. Jackson and there would be
consensus to hire Mr. Jackson permanently. Councilmember Dempsey and Gothmann agreed with that
suggestion. Councilmember McCaslin said of course Mr. Jackson can submit an application, but said the
position should not be narrowed down to Mr. Jackson, but Council should have an opportunity to review
all applicants, and said any member of staff could apply as well. Councilmember Gothmann said to hire a
city manager the entire council needs to be behind that person, and unless there is fairly universal
consensus for Deputy Mayor Schimmels' suggestions, Councilmember Gothmann suggested council
proceed through the process of recruitment. Councilmember Grafos agreed Council should proceed
through the process for transparency reasons if nothing else, and said with the uproar over the last action
Council took with Mr. Mercier, Council should at least have a process to look at all candidates, and that it
should be a fair process with a decision by the council. Councilmember Dempsey said she has no
objection to moving through the process; and there was Council consensus to do so.
Mayor Towey asked if AWC (Association of Washington Cities) and NLC (National League of Cities)
would assist in advertising; and Mr. Whitehead said they would be able to assist, and said he is uncertain
if there would be a cost involved, but will research that information. Mr. Whitehead said he would like to
create the recruitment materials, and include them in an upcoming council packet as an information item,
and said he will begin to advertise the position.
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to extend the meeting another fifteen minutes (to
10:00 p.m.) Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and
Councilmembers Grassel, Grafos, Dempsey and Gothmann. Opposed: Councilmember McCashn.
Abstentions: None. Motion carried. Councilmember McCaslin then left the meeting.

10. Pending Zoning Matters — Mike Connelly /Kathy McClung
City Attorney Connelly said that he and members of the planning department have inforination to respond
to some of the concerns expressed at last week's meeting regarding specific properties contained within
the SARP (Sprague /Appleway Revitalization Plan) area where the property owners were asking for
immediate relief of their particular situation; and said staff has some options for council consideration;
and said this could be done in conjunction with the larger more aggressive plan of reviewing all the SARP
areas, or could be folded into that; and said under Washington laws, we could, for those areas identified
for changes not inconsistent with the Comp plan, this body could by motion, direct the Planning
Commission to consider zone changes to allow vehicle sales in mixed use which would allow the boat
sales issue previously discussed; and could consider eliminating the requirement that restaurants or cafes
be located with access to Sprague, which would eliminate the difficulty of the one property owner voiced
last week, and could also provide the Community Development Director with some discretion to make
minor adjustments to design criteria in specific circumstances within the SARP; and that design criteria
would deal with for example, the circumstance where infill development would make it impractical, or
height requirement for small buildings didn't make sense, or where you could achieve the same or better
results through a different design not necessarily identified in SARP; or where there is a technical
problem because of existing infrastructure; and said this would simply enhance the discretion the director
has in allowing those types of uses as long as they are not in conflict with the comprehensive plan; and
said staff could fashion a motion for council in those areas, for Council to direct the Planning
Commission to immediately look at those proposed changes, as Council goes through the more detailed
comprehensive process; or council can simply continue as they are now and fold the changes into the
comprehensive process.
Mr. Connelly said the negative aspect of moving ahead with the individual changes is council would be
making those changes in a vacuum, that is, making a change for one specific part of the plan without
looking at the whole zone or the whole plan; and council could in fact after this is all done, decide that
wasn't the way council wanted to go; and if that happened, council would have simply created a new,
nonconforming use if Council changes back at a later date. Another option, Mr. Connelly explained,
would be for Council to act under the interim ordinance that Councilmembers McCaslin and Grassel were
discussing last week, and act without hearings and make those changes and send it through the Planning
Commission for their review and Council's final adoption; and said that option might be more
problematic and could be subject to challenge simply because you have to be able to express for the
record a legitimate basis for acting without public hearing; he said generally that interim ordinance is used
to preserve the status quo until you have a chance for further review, but in this case the status quo would
be changed; and said the reason the interim ordinance is a possibility in these minor instances is because it
is not in conflict with the comp plan, whereas the macro change that Council wants to examine, would be
in conflict with the comp plan. Mr. Connelly asked for Council's preference and direction.
Councilmember Grassel asked about the interim zoning, about the possibility of it causing a conflict
because it would be going back to the comp plan; and Mr. Connelly said it would not affect the comp
plan, but it would not be preserving the status quo, and usually that is the purpose of the interim
ordinance: to preserve the status quo; and said that although it could technically be used, he said he is
having a hard time identifying a basis that would not be particular to a property owner; he said it is
appropriate for council to zone things based on economic conditions or circumstances, but it is not
appropriate for a legislative body to for example, change the zoning because Bill's bank won't give him a
loan if he doesn't get it changed by next week; and he said we would have to closely examine how that
could be done appropriately, and said he feels it would be subject to challenge, and said he knows in at
least one of these circumstances, there are adverse parties; and said his first alternative to simply send this
to the Planning Commission would allow the public hearing and would eliminate those challenges.
Councilmember Grassel asked concerning allowing more perinitted uses, if we were to take the boat sales
which were denied by the Hearing Examiner, would it be changed to a blanket statement to allow
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 12 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
motorized sales in this zone; and Mr. Connelly concurred that it would allow vehicle sales in the mixed
use zone, and said it would include all mixed use zones and all vehicle sales and said by fixing a little
problem, you've "put a big band aid on it." Councilmember Grassel said then that would also
accommodate most of the car dealerships along Sprague as they are nonconforming; and Mr. Connelly
said it would depend on what zone they are in, but most are mixed use. Councilmember Grafos said that
basically, this would fix all those nonconforming uses by just changing that; and going to the old B3 zone
which allows all of those uses. Attorney Connelly said we would be maintaining the mixed use zone, but
simply allowing vehicle sales, and that can be done without a comp plan change as in looking at the
history, at one point vehicle sales were allowed in the mixed use. Councilmember Grafos said we could
still come back and further review the mixed use zone and make further changes as council goes through
the zones, and Mr. Connelly confirmed that as correct.
Community Development Director McClung said another option for Council is that this could be instead
of or in addition to, to move up the mixed use review as that is now scheduled for the end of August; and
said staff could do it next after gateway commercial if that is council's desire, therefore moving that to
some time in June. City Attorney Connelly said there would be a number of different tracks moving if
council took this alternative, and would probably almost be on the same schedule of trying to move this
through the Planning Commission and back to Council. Councilmember Grassel said even the hearing
would only be a hearing and that Council would not attempt to make changes specifically to those zones
right after each hearing; and Director McClung confirmed that process, and asked if Council is interested
in moving mixed use commercial up in the schedule. Councilmember Grassel said her preference is to
move the mixed use up to June, but also to put into a motion to allow new or used vehicle sales in the
mixed use; and said the mixed use along Sprague allows for espresso stands and coffee shops, but it is not
allowed on the side streets, which is the concern of the citizen who spoke last week; and said it would
make sense to put coffee shops now in that mixed use zone, since it is allowed on Sprague but not on side
streets. Mr. Connelly said the restriction could be removed, and he asked if Council wants to do this by
motion to go to the Planning Commission, or does Council want to do something that is possibly subject
to challenge and do an interim ordinance. Mayor Towey asked if there was council objection to making a
motion; and Councilmember Grassel asked what the time frame would be for this to go before the
Planning Commission then come back to Council and whether it would be a long ordeal; and Director
McClung said she can let council know next week as she has to review the Planning Commission
schedule, and whether staff has to go through the SEPA (State Environmental Protection Act) process.
Mr. Connelly said it would have to be at least sixty days before passage as the Department of Commerce
must be notified as well_ Councilmember Grafos said he would like to make a motion at the next
meeting, to change the use to allow the vehicle sales in the mixed use; and push that ahead on the agenda
since there are more nonconforming uses east of U -City then in the other zones, and said this is more
urgent as we are moving into the summer building season and there are a lot of people looking at those
properties to determine how they can be developed, and said we would lose that economic opportunity if
we wanted. Mr. Connelly asked if Council wants to keep the option of allowing the Community
Development Director discretion to make minor adjustments in SARP, and there appeared to be general
council agreement. To summarize, City Attorney Connelly said staff will bring forward a motion for
council to instruct the Planning Commission to consider (1) vehicle sales in mixed use; (2) remove the
restriction for bordering on Sprague, and (3) providing the community development director to make
minor adjustments to SARP design standards. There were no council objections.
11. Advance Agenda — Mayor Towev
Councilmember Grassel said she would like to put on the advance agenda for next Tuesday, a motion to
have staff look at putting a stop to the Broadway Safety Project, which would change the four lanes to
three lanes, and to look at the sidewalk improvements; and regarding panhandling, she said this city has
been discussing that since 2004 and said she would appreciate moving that up to possibly adopt the City
of Issaquah's panhandling ordinance which has been in effect for about two years; and said there was
mention of meeting with Liberty Lake and said she does not see that scheduled on the advance agenda;
Council Meeting Minutes: 05 -04 -2010 Page 13 of 14
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
and said she spoke with Eric Sawyer of the Sports Commission who asked if he could present to both
bodies, some possibilities for the HUB, and to perhaps even have a representative from the HUB to
accompany him to that meeting. Mr. Jackson said staff is still working with Liberty Lake to settle on a
date for a meeting that works for both councils; and he asked if it is Council's desire to have a HUB
presentation at that joint meeting, and there was no council objection and Mayor Towey said he also does
not object provided the Liberty Lake Mayor and Council likewise agree. Councilmember Gothmann said
he is aware Parks and Recreation Director Mike Stone has investigated how the HUB fits into our
program, and said it is important to hear that input. Mr. Jackson said we will re- circulate the previous
material on the Broadway Safety Project on next week's council agenda as there is no new information
but is more a discussion of how council wants to proceed.
Councilmember Grafos said he would also like to discuss the road closure at Sullivan and Sprague on the
intersection project; he said we are closing that for three weeks and it is perhaps the busiest intersection in
the city, and he would like to discuss why that is occurring as it did not occur on Evergreen Road or Pines
or Broadway, and said he feels that is very detrimental to business, that the businesses are coming out of a
recession and are going into their season, and we are planning to shut that down for three weeks and said
he does not believe we should be doing that if we are going to be a business friendly city and work with
our citizens. Mr. Jackson said we can bring that up for discussion; that we have put quite a bit of
information in a previous council packet, and said that public works has worked closely with the
businesses to get in and get the job done as quickly as possible in the best interest of everyone, and said
there were some adjustments made to the schedule, and we will bring that back so Public Works can
review that with Council, and suggested the May 18 study session; and there were no council objections.
12. Information only: Summer Construction; administration quarterly report

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Street Vacation STV -01 -10
PREVIOUS ACTION TAKEN: City Council adopted Resolution No. 10 -008 on April 13, 2010, setting the date for a
public hearing. The Planning Commission voted 6 -0 to approve the attached findings and recommend conditional
approval of the vacation.
BACKGROUND: The applicant Alan Gay, USKH, on behalf of abutting property owner with two- thirds ownership,
Tyler Ferguson, Coastal Community Bank, requests the vacation of a portion of 16 Avenue. The right of way is
unimproved and the abutting parcels are accessed via improved private road, 16"' Lane. The street is located
approximately 362 feet west of the intersection of 16 Lane and Kahuna Drive and further located between parcels
35262.9091 and 35262.0803 to the south and parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822 to the north.
Please reference map above.
16 Avenue was originally dedicated in 1907 through the Woodland Terrace Plat. The street was named Fourteenth
Avenue and changed to 16 Avenue at a later time. Located east of the proposed vacation, approximately 362 feet of 16"'
Avenue was vacated in 1996 by Spokane County at the intersection of Carnahan Road and Kahuna Drive.
OPTIONS: Consensus to place this on the June 8, 2010 agenda for a first reading, with or without amendments, or
schedule another public hearing.
RECOMMENDATION: Consensus to place this on the June 8, 2010 agenda for a first reading

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
May 13, 2010
The following findings have been prepared by Staff for the Planning Commission to request approval.
Background:
1. An application for vacation was filed on March 12, 2010.
2. A completed application for vacation was processed on March 23, 2010.
3. City Council adopted Resolution No. 10 -008 on April 13, 2010, setting the date for a public hearing.
4. The Planning Commission held a public hearing on May 13, 2010.
5. Following a hearing, the Planning Commission found that the notice and hearing requirements of the
applicable Spokane Valley Municipal Code section 22.140.020 have been met.
6. None of the property owners abutting the property to be vacated filed a written objection to the
proposed vacation with the City Clerk; and
Findings:
1. The vacation of the street will better serve the public because it will allow for the full development
of the properties (parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822) abutting to the
north.
2. The street is no longer required for public use or public access. The street cannot access Carnahan
Road or Kahuna Drive to the east and the natural environment (Glenrose creek) prohibits connection
to the west.
The substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the public. The creation
of 16 Lane (private drive) provides a new and more useful path of travel for lots to access onto
Kahuna Drive and Carnahan Road.
4. Given the present age and condition of adjacent development, it is unlikely that conditions will
change in the future to provide a greater use or need than presently exists. It is recommended that
16 Avenue right -of -way be aggregated with the northerly parcels.
No objections have been received to the proposed vacation from the notice of public hearing and /or
routing to staff and agencies.
6. Abutting Property No. 1: Tyler Ferguson, Coastal Community Bank, owns property that abuts the
right -of -way on the north and includes Parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and
35233.2822.
Abutting Property No. 2: Jenn -Hwan & Shaio Yu Lee Wang owns property (parcel 35262.0803) that
abuts the right -of -way on the south.
Abutting Property No. 3: J.G. Ward, owns property (parcel 35262.9091) that abuts the right -of -way
on the south.
7. Utilities:
a. Sewer: No sewer services are located in 16 Avenue.
b. Water: City of Spokane Water Department commented on February 12, 2010 stating no
infrastructure was located within area of proposed vacation and no objections to pro Fosal.
Staff notes the City of Spokane Valley approved civil plans for the private road (16 Lane)
indicates a water line was installed.
c. Telephone/Fiber Optics: Qwest submitted a letter dated February 3, 2010 with no
objections.
d. Gas and Electricity: Avista Utilities submitted a letter dated March 10, 2010 with no
objections.
e. Cable Television: Comcast submitted a letter dated February 3, 2010 with no objections.
All of the utilily providers have been contacted by the applicant and their correspondence is
attached. The specific location of easements is a requirement of the record of survey.
Stormwater drainage facilities: There are two (2) drainage facilities located in the portion of 16
Avenue being vacated. Along the south half of the vacation a stormwater channel captures runoff
from Kahuna Drive and conveys the stormwater runoff to Glenrose Creek to the west. The second
system is a storm pipe which collects all runoff from 16 Lane (private drive) and is treated further
north into another stormwater system. Currently there is no responsibility for the operations and
maintenance of the stormdrain system, 16 Lane and the stormwater channel along the south of 16
Lane.
9. Spokane Valley Fire District No. 1: The existing hammerhead and private road located within
right -of -way and fire hydrants must be maintained per letter dated January 28, 2010.
10. Spokane Valley Community Development - Building Division: No concerns with proposed vacation.
11. Zoning/Comprehensive Plan: Single- Family Residential District (R -3) zoning and Low Density
Residential Comprehensive Plan designation.
12. Land Use: Currently the right -of -way is not serving any properties. There is no public right -of -way
connecting to the area of 16 Avenue being vacated. 16 Lane (private road) is an easement
designated to serve only those lots it is built upon.
13. Spokane Valley Public Works Department: No concerns with proposed vacation.
14. Condition of street: South half of an improved private road (16 Lane) is within area of vacation.
The west approximately seventy (70) feet is unimproved and a portion is located through Glenrose
Creek.
15. Assignment of vacated portions of right -of -way: Pursuant to Section 22.140.040.0 of the Spokane
Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) one -half of a vacated street shall go to each abutting property
owner, unless otherwise dictated. The applicant is requesting the entire portion of vacation be
incorporated to the abutting properties to the north (parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719
and 35233.2822).
Conclusions:
The criteria set forth in Section 22.140.030 of the SVMC has been met based upon the findings set forth.
Recommendations:
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends approval to the City Council of the
vacation of 210 feet in length by 30 feet of width of dedicated right -of -way for 16"' Avenue.
This approval is subject to the following:
1. The completion of the street vacation (File# STV- 01 -10) including all conditions below shall be
submitted to the City for review within ninety (90) days following the effective date of approval by
the City Council.
2. The vacated property shall be transferred to parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and
3 523 3.2822 abutting the vacation on the north.
3. The existing easement for the private road and utilities will need to be updated to include the
portions of the private road and utilities that are currently in the right -of -way which is proposed to be
vacated. A draft easement will need to be submitted to the City of Spokane Valley Development
Engineering Division and Avista Utilities to be reviewed and accepted.
4. Prior to finalization of the street vacation, a voluntary compliance agreement must be signed
providing that within one year of the approval of the vacation:
a. The revised private road and utility easement will be recorded.
b. A Homeowner's Association (HOA) will be formed to assume the responsibility for the
operation and maintenance of the facilities that are within the 16 Lane project, as depicted
in the approved SF -03 -05 Civil plans, including the onsite stormdrain system, 16 Lane
itself, the stormwater channel along the south edge of 16 Lane and other related onsite
facilities.
c. An Operations and Maintenance Manual with a financial plan for the facilities, and, CC &R's
for the HOA will be prepared and accepted,
d. The stormwater generated by the 16 Lane project will be covered by one of the following:
i. The stormwater would be kept onsite rather than flowing into the existing stormdrain that
is north of this project. This would involve a redesign of the current accepted Civil plans
and construction of the new stormwater facilities. A financial surety will be required to
cover the revised improvements not constructed and accepted within the one year.
ii. The stormwater would flow into the existing stormdrain system that is north of this
project and the HOA will assume a proportional share of the responsibility for the
operation and maintenance of the regional stormdrain system (which extends from 16
Lane to the retention pond) and the retention pond that the stormwater from 16 Lane
drains into.
Following the City Council's passage of the ordinance approving the proposal to vacate the street, a
record of survey of the area to be vacated, prepared by a registered surveyor in the State of
Washington and including an exact metes and bounds legal description, and specifying if applicable
any and all easements for construction, repair and maintenance of existing and future utilities and
services, shall be submitted by the proponent to the Director of Community Development, or
designee for review.
6. Following the City Council's passage of the ordinance approving the proposal to vacate the street, a
Boundary Line Elimination must be done to aggregate (consolidate) the northerly parcels with
vacated street. These items can be included on the above mentioned record of survey.
7. The surveyor shall locate at least two monuments on the centerline of the vacated right -of -way with
one located at the intersection of the centerline of the vacated right -of -way with each street or right-
of -way in accordance with the standards established by the Spokane County Standards for Road and
Sewer Construction.
8. All direct and indirect costs of title transfer of the vacated street from public to private ownership
including but not limited to title company charges, copying fees, and recording fees are to be borne
by the proponent. The City will not assume any financial responsibility for any direct or indirect
costs for the transfer of title.
9. The zoning district designation of the properties adjoining each side of the street or alley to be
vacated shall be automatically extended to the center of such vacation, and all area included in the
vacation shall then and henceforth be subject to all regulations of the extended districts. The
adopting ordinance shall specify this zoning district extension inclusive of the applicable zoning
district designations.
10. The record of survey and certified copy of the ordinance vacating a street or alley or part thereof
shall be recorded by the city clerk in the office of the Spokane County Auditor.
11. All conditions of City Council authorization shall be fully satisfied prior to any transfer of title by
the City.

STAFF REPORT
PROPOSED STREET VACATION
Proposal: Request to vacate approximately 210 feet in length by 30 feet of width of dedicated unimproved right -of -way
of 16 Avenue.
Prepared by: Karen Kendall, Assistant Planner
Date: May 13, 2010
BACKGROUND: The applicant Alan Gay, USKH, on behalf of abutting property owner with two - thirds ownership,
Tyler Ferguson, Coastal Community Bank, requests the vacation of a portion of 16"' Avenue. The right of way is
unimproved and the abutting parcels are accessed via improved private road, 16"' Lane. The street is located
approximately 362 feet west of the intersection of 16 Lane and Kahuna Drive and further located between parcels
35262.9091 and 35262.0803 to the south and parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822 to the north.
16 Avenue was originally dedicated in 1907 through the Woodland Terrace Plat. The street was named Fourteenth
Avenue and changed to 16 Avenue at a later time. Located east of the proposed vacation, approximately 362 feet of 16
Avenue was vacated in 1996 by Spokane County at the intersection of Carnahan Road and Kahuna Drive.
Findings:
1. The vacation of the street will better serve the public because it will allow for the full development of the
properties (parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822) abutting to the north.
2. The street is no longer required for public use or public access. The street cannot access Carnahan Road or
Kahuna Drive to the east and the natural enviromnent (Glenrose creek) prohibits connection to the west.
3. The substitution of a new and different public way would be more useful to the public. The creation of 16
Lane (private drive) provides a new and more useful path of travel for lots to access onto Kahuna Drive and
Carnahan Road.
4. Given the present age and condition of adjacent development, it is unlikely that conditions will change in the
future to provide a greater use or need than presently exists. It is recommended that 16 Avenue right -of -way
be aggregated with the northerly parcels.
5. No objections have been received to the proposed vacation from the notice of public hearing and /or routing to
staff and agencies.
6. Abutting Property No. 1: Tyler Ferguson, Coastal Community Bank, owns property that abuts the right -of-
way on the north and includes Parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822.
Abutting Property No. 2: Jenn -Hwan & Shaio Yu Lee Wang owns property (parcel 35262.0803) that abuts the
right -of -way on the south.
Abutting Property No. 3: J.G. Ward, owns property (parcel 35262.9091) that abuts the right -of -way on the
south.
7. Utilities:
a. Sewer: No sewer services are located in 16 Avenue.
b. Water: City of Spokane Water Department commented on February 12, 2010 stating no
infrastructure was located within area of proposed vacation and no objections to proposal. Staff
notes the City of Spokane Valley approved civil plans for the private road (16 Lane) indicates a
water line was installed.
c. Telephone /Fiber Optics: Qwest submitted a letter dated February 3, 2010 with no objections.
d. Gas and Electricity: Avista Utilities submitted a letter dated March 10, 2010 with no objections.
e. Cable Television: Comcast submitted a letter dated February 3, 2010 with no objections.
All of the utility providers have been contacted by the applicant and their correspondence is attached. The
specific location of easements is a requirement of the record of survey.
Stormwater drainage facilities: There are two (2) drainage facilities located in the portion of 16 Avenue
being vacated. Along the south half of the vacation a stormwater channel captures runoff from Kahuna Drive
and conveys the stonnwater runoff to Glenrose Creek to the west. The second system is a storm pipe which
collects all runoff from 16 Lane (private drive) and is treated further north into another stonnwater system.
Currently there is no responsibility for the operations and maintenance of the stonndrain system, 16 Lane
and the stonnwater channel along the south of 16 Lane.
9. Spokane Valley Fire District No. 1: The existing hammerhead and private road located within right -of -way
and fire hydrants must be maintained per letter dated January 28, 2010.
10. Spokane Valley Community Development - Building Division: No concerns with proposed vacation.
11. Zoning /Comprehensive Plan: Single - Family Residential District (R -3) zoning and Low Density Residential
Comprehensive Plan designation.
12. Land Use: Currently the right -of -way is not serving any properties. There is no public right -of -way
connecting to the area of 16 Avenue being vacated. 16 Lane (private road) is an easement designated to
serve only those lots it is built upon.
13. Spokane Valley Public Works Department: No concerns with proposed vacation.
14. Condition of street: South half of an improved private road (16 Lane) is within area of vacation. The west
approximately seventy (70) feet is unimproved and a portion is located through Glenrose Creek.
15. Assignment of vacated portions of right -of -way: Pursuant to Section 22.140.040.0 of the Spokane Valley
Municipal Code (SVMC) one -half of a vacated street shall go to each abutting property owner, unless
otherwise dictated. The applicant is requesting the entire portion of vacation be incorporated to the abutting
properties to the north (parcels 35233.2711, 35233.2712, 35233.2719 and 35233.2822).
Conclusions:
The criteria set forth in Section 22.140.030 of the SVMC has been met based upon the findings set forth.

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: May 25, 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: Code Text Amendments CTA 02-10, amending (SVMC) within Title 17 and
Title 21.
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: SVMC 19.30.040 development regulation text amendments.
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None.
BACKGROUND: The City initiated text amendment is proposing amendments to Chapters 17.20,
21.30, and 21.40 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code, to address developer's responsibilities,
recognize the 2010 Flood Insurance Study as the basis for establishing areas of special flood hazard,
and provide a reasonable use exception for properties impacted by critical areas.
Amendments to SVMC Chapters 17.20 and 21.40 are proposed as a result of the WA Cities Insurance
Authority 2009 Annual Review and Audit comments. During the review the Auditor recommended that
the critical areas ordinance be amended to include a reasonable use provision to limit the cities land
use liability exposure. The review also recommended that the code contain language granting
immunity to employees performing discretionary functions. Language has been drafted to address
both situations as additions to the code.
The purpose of the amendment to Section 21.30.020 is to recognize the July 6, 2010 Flood Insurance
Study for Spokane County, Washington and Incorporated Areas, as the basis for identifying the flood
hazard areas. Revised Flood Insurance Rate Maps are a part of the report. The revised Maps will
become effective July 6, 2010. The 2010 maps correct the identification of certain flood hazard areas
within the city.
Staff presented the proposed amendments to the Planning Commission at a study session on April 22.
The Commission conducted a public hearing on the proposal on May 13, 2010. The original proposal
also included an amendment to the "kennel definition ". The Commission has continued the public
hearing on the "kennel definition" and passed a motion to move the remaining three proposed
amendments on to the City Council for review. The kennel issue will come before you at a later date.
OPTIONS: Proceed as proposed, or as modified, or direct staff further.
RECOMMENDED ACTION: Council consensus to bring this forward for an ordinance first reading at
the June 8 t ", 2010 Council meeting.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None

FINDINGS AND RECOMMENDATIONS OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY PLANNING COMMISSION
May 13, 2010
The following findings have been prepared by Staff for the Planning Commission in the event there is concurrence
with the recommended approval.
Background:
A. The Spokane Valley Municipal Code was adopted in September 2007 and became effective on October 28,
2007.
B. The city has completed numerous code text amendments to correct errors, clarifications, omissions, and address
evolving issues.
C. The Washington Cities Insurance Authority conducts an annual Risk Assessment Audit. The 2009 Audit
focused on Land Use Exposures. The Auditor suggested that the critical areas ordinance provide a reasonable
use exemption in order to avoid a takings situation, and also suggested that the code contain "qualified
immunity language to reference the grant of immunity under federal law for employees performing
discretionary functions." A review of the comments resulted in staff proposing a reasonable exemption process
and liability language.
D. After a multi -year long process the Federal Insurance Rate Maps have been officially adopted by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The 2010 Flood Insurance Study for Spokane County and Incorporated
Areas will be effective on July 6, 2010. The City's flood plain regulations currently reference the 1988 study
as the basis for identifying flood hazard areas. In order to utilize the 2010 report, the code must be changed.
Findings:
SVMC 17.80.150(F) states that the City may approve amendments to the UDC if it finds that:
(A) the proposed amendment is consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan; and
(B) the proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to the public health, safety, welfare, and protection of
the environment.
The Planning Commission finds the proposed text amendment to be consistent with the applicable
provisions of the Growth Management Act, and the City's Comprehensive Plan;
GMA Policies
a. The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) provides the following guidance applicable to
the Enviromnent and Property Rights:
i. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water
quality and the availability of water.
ii. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made.
The property rights of landowners shall be protected from arbitrary and discriminatory actions
pursuant to state and federal law.
City of Spokane Valley Goals and Policies
b. The City of Spokane Valley has adopted goals and policies consistent with the GMA and adopted CWPP.
i. Goal NEG -4 Regulations developed by Spokane Valley will not result in or constitute a taking
of private property and shall be evaluated as provided for in the Growth Management Act.
Regulations to protect the natural environment shall contain variance provisions including criteria
for granting variances, and recognize legal nonconfonning rights for existing land uses and
activities.
ii. Goal NEG -6 Best available science (BAS) will be used in the designation and protection of
critical areas.
The Planning Commission finds the proposed text amendment to bear a substantial relation to public
health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment;
Supporting Statements
a. The proposed text amendment to the floodplain regulations will provide better protection for the
environment and public safety by incorporating the most recent scientific infonnation contained within
the 2010 Flood Insurance Study for Spokane County and Incorporated areas into the Municipal Code.
b. The proposed text amendment to the critical areas ordinance provides for public welfare and protection
of the environment by establishing a process for a reasonable use determination to be considered when
the implementation of the regulations would render the property undevelopable while insuring that all
reasonable mitigation measures are utilized, and that the use is the least impacting use available.
c. The proposed text amendment to the general purpose section is proposed to eliminate confusion by
clarifying the developer's responsibility in regards to all development.
Conclusions:
The proposed amendments meet the applicable provisions of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code and are consistent
with appropriate goals and policies of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan
Recommendations:
The Spokane Valley Planning Commission therefore recommends approval to the City Council of proposed
amendments to the Spokane Valley Municipal Code.

B. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO SEPA
Findings:
Pursuant to Title 21 (Environmental Controls) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC), the lead agency has
determined that this proposal does not have a probable significant adverse impact on the environment. An
Planning Commission Staff Report
CTA -02 -10
Page 1 of 4
Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is not required under RCW 43.21C.030(2)(c). The Planning Division issued a
Determination of Non - Significance (DNS) on May 5, 2010 for the proposal. This decision was made after review of
a completed environmental checklist and other information on file with the lead agency.
Conclusion(s):
The procedural requirements of the State Environmental Policy Act and Title 21 of the SVMC have been fulfilled by
the submittal of the required SEPA Checklist, and the issuance of the City's threshold determination consisting of a
Determination of Non - Significance (DNS). No appeals have been received at the time of this report. The appeal
period will close May 19, 2010.
C. FINDINGS AND CONCLUSIONS SPECIFIC TO THE CODE TEXT AMENDMENTS
1. COMPLIANCE WITH TITLE 17 (GENERAL PROVISIONS) OF THE SPOKANE VALLEY MUNICIPAL CODE
Findings:
Section 17.80.150(F) of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC) provides approval criteria that must be
considered when the City amends the SVMC. The criteria are listed below along with staff comments.
1. The proposed text amendments are consistent with the applicable provisions of the Comprehensive Plan;
Staff Response: The Washington State Growth Management Act (GMA) requires the City of Spokane
Valley to, "Protect the environments and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water
quality, and the availability of water." The Natural Environment Chapter of the Comprehensive Plan
provides the framework to regulate development in and near environmentally sensitive areas in order to
classify, designate and protect natural resource lands and critical areas. Critical areas include wetlands,
aquifers, fish and wildlife habitat conservation areas, frequently flooded areas and geologically hazardous
areas. Goals NEG -4 and NEG -6 stipulate that regulations shall protect the natural environment, contain
variance provisions including criteria for granting variances, and note that best available science shall be
used in the designation and protection of critical areas. Goal LUG -17 stipulates that that the City should
coordinate with Spokane County to ensure appropriate service provision. The City of Spokane Valley has
adopted goals and policies consistent with the GMA and adopted CWPP. The proposed text amendments
are consistent with the GMA and the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan.
2. The proposed amendment bears a substantial relation to public health, safety, welfare, and protection of the
environment;
Staff Response: Adopting the 2010 Flood Insurance Rate Study will provide greater protection to
environment and public health since it is reflective of the current physical conditions. The reasonable use
determination process within the critical areas ordinance would require a review of relevant
issues /conditions to determine a solution that has the least possible impact on the critical area and insures
that mitigation measures are required, therefore providing for the protection of the environment while
balancing private property rights. Modifying the definition of kennel directly relates to public health and
safety issues, since it enables the service provider to take enforcement action in the public interest.
Conclusion(s):
The proposed text amendment to the SVMC is consistent with the approval criteria contained in the SVMC.
IV. STAFF RECOMMENDATION
The Planning Division after review and consideration of the proposed text amendment and applicable approval
criteria recommends that the Planning Commission recommend approval of CTA- 02 -10.

V. PLANNING COMMISSION FINDINGS
The Planning Commission is required to adopt findings of fact (Sections 17.80.140 & 17.80.150) when recommending
changes to the SVMC. At the conclusion of the hearing for the text amendment to the SVMC, the Planning
Commission, by separate motion, should adopt findings of fact.
Background:
A. The Spokane Valley Municipal Code was adopted in September 2007 and became effective on October 28,
2007.
B. The city has completed numerous code text amendments to correct errors, clarifications, omissions, and
address evolving issues.
C. The Washington Cities Insurance Authority conducts an annual Risk Assessment Audit. The 2009 Audit
focused on Land Use Exposures. The Auditor suggested that the critical areas ordinance provide a
reasonable use exemption in order to avoid a takings situation, and also suggested that the code contain
"qualified immunity language to reference the grant of immunity under federal law for employees
performing discretionary functions." A review of the comments resulted in staff proposing a reasonable
exemption process and liability language.
D. In the course of the annual review of the interlocal agreement for animal control Nancy Hill, Director of the
Spokane County Regional Animal Protection Services (SCRAPS), identified a discrepancy between the
County regulations and the City's definition of "kennel ". It was requested at that time that the definitions be
consistent for enforcement purposes.
E. After a multi -_year long process the Federal Insurance Rate Maps have been officially adopted by the Federal
Emergency Management Agency. The 2010 Flood Insurance Study for Spokane County and Incorporated
Areas will be effective on July 6, 2010. The City's flood plain regulations currently reference the 1988
study as the basis for identifying flood hazard areas. In order to utilize the 2010 report, the code must be
changed.
F. The Planning Commission conducted a study session on April 22, 2010. Additional information was
requested to explain what type of situations would the liability language address, explain why the county was
not considering modifying the number of cats or dogs that would require a property owner to obtain a kennel
license, and address what would happen to households that would be required to obtain a kennel license if
the kennel definition reduced the number of animals allowed.
a. Nancy Hill, SCRAPS Director was contacted and provided additional information regarding the
request by email. As a summary of her comments she noted that the County's regulations have been
"set for many _years," and that she was unaware that Spokane Valley had adopted a code with a
different threshold. She noted it was important that the City and County codes match for uniform
enforcement of laws and public policy. (See attached email). She also requested that the kennel
definition be broken out to address a private kennel versus a commercial kennel. The Commission
may wish to consider her request, although further definition of the term would not change the
trigger point of when a kennel license would be required.
b. Based on staff discussions non - conforming use provisions may apply to households with animals
above the threshold. However, it may be extremely difficult in some cases to provide evidence of a
pre- existing ownership. The City attorney will be present to answer questions regarding this issue.
c. The City attorney will be present to answer questions regarding the application of the liability
language.
Findings: Staff has prepared the following findings for the Planning Commission in the event there is concurrence
with the recommended approval.
The Planning Commission finds the proposed text amendment to be consistent with the applicable
provisions of the Growth Management Act, Countywide Planning Policies (CUPP) and the City's
Comprehensive Plan;

i. Protect the environment and enhance the state's high quality of life, including air and water
quality and the availability of water.
ii. Private property shall not be taken for public use without just compensation having been made.

Services. — Policy 5 All jurisdictions shall coordinate plans that classify, designate and protect
natural resource lands and critical areas.
City of Spokane Valley Goals and Policies
c. The City of Spokane Valley has adopted goals and policies consistent with the GMA and adopted
CWPP.
i. Goal NEG -4 Regulations developed by Spokane Valley will not result in or constitute a
taking of private property and shall be evaluated as provided for in the Growth Management
Act. Regulations to protect the natural environment shall contain variance provisions
including criteria for granting variances, and recognize legal nonconfonning rights for existing
land uses and activities.
ii. Goal NEG -6 Best available science (BAS) will be used in the designation and protection of
critical areas.
2. The Planning Commission finds the proposed text amendment to bear a substantial relation to public
health, safety, welfare, and protection of the environment;
Supporting Statements
a. The proposed text amendment to the floodplain regulations will provide better protection for the
environment and public safety by incorporating the most recent scientific information contained
within the 2010 Flood Insurance Study for Spokane County and Incorporated areas into the Municipal
Code.
b. The proposed text amendment to the critical areas ordinance provides for public welfare and
protection of the environment by establishing a process for a reasonable use determination to be
considered when the implementation of the regulations would render the property undevelopable
while insuring that all reasonable mitigation measures are utilized, and that the use is the least
impacting use available.
c. The proposed text amendment to modify the term "kennel" within the definitions provides for the
public welfare and safety by enabling the animal control enforcement officers to uniformly enforce
standards within the City of Spokane Valley and Spokane County to insure that adequate provisions
are made by animal owners when 5 or more cats or dogs are kept at a residence.
d. The proposed text amendment to the general purpose section is proposed to eliminate confusion by
clarifying the developer's responsibility in regards to all development.
Recommended Motion: The Planning Commission adopts the findings in the staff report and recommends approval
of CTA- 02 -10, batch code text amendments that modify the floodplain regulations, critical areas regulations,
Appendix A — Definitions and the General Provisions section of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code.

Memorandum
To: Mike Jackson, City Manager
From. Ken Thompson, Finance Director
Date: May 14, 2010
Re April Report
April highlights in Finance included:
Financial reports
Reports showing a comparison of revenues and expenditures at April 30, 2010, to the 2010
Budget, are attached.
Gambling tax receipts are expected to have a large uncollectible portion, as casinos struggle to
make ends meet. Staff is pursuing collection of the delinquent gambling tax but full collection is
unlikely.
Investment earnings are likely to be less than projected in our 2010 budget. Beginning Fund
Balance in the General Fund will be greater than our estimates. State shared revenues (liquor
taxes) and Fines and Forfeitures are greater than expected as well. The investment report is also
attached for your review.
Staff preparing 2009 financial records
Staff has started the process to ready 2009 financial records for the audit in 2010. We expect the
State Auditor's Office to arrive on June 17, to begin the audit.
Other tasks
+ A review of televising council meetings is underway.
+ A property tax reduction is being examined
+ Possible amendments to the 2010 are being reviewed.
+ Plans are being prepared for the preparation of the 2011 Budget which will include
potential 3, 6 and 9% reductions.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: ADA Self Evaluation and Transition
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Americans with Disabilities Act;
Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), section 35.105 (a)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None
BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley will conduct self evaluations of programs, policies
and facilities for compliance with the American with Disabilities Act (ADA) and develop a plan to
make necessary changes for conformance.
The ADA self evaluation survey is federally mandated. As stated in the Code of Federal
Regulations (CFR), section 35.105 (a):
A public entity shall, within one year of the effective date of this part, evaluate its current
services, policies and practices, and the effects thereof, that do not or may not meet the
requirements of this part, and, to the extent modification of any such services, policies and
practices is required, the public entity shall proceed to make the necessary modifications.
Prior to incorporation, the County of Spokane completed a self - evaluation of their programs,
policies and facilities. This will be the first self - evaluation prepared for the City of Spokane
Valley itself.
OPTIONS: Not applicable.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None required or requested.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The survey and transition report are being prepared by staff
from all City departments. Non - compliance with the ADA requirements for self evaluation and
transition plans could result in assessed fees.
STAFF CONTACT: Mary E. May, AICP
ATTACHMENTS: ADA Survey and Transition Plan Project Summary
ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan
Project Description and Scope of Work
Project:
The City of Spokane Valley will conduct self evaluations of programs, policies and facilities for compliance
with the American Disabilities Act (ADA) and develop a plan to make necessary changes for
conformance.
Mandate:
The ADA self evaluation survey is federally mandated. As stated in the Code of Federal Regulations
(CFR), section 35.105 (a):
A public entity shall, within one year of the effective date of this part, evaluate its current services, policies
and practices, and the effects thereof, that do not or may not meet the requirements of this part, and, to
the extent modification of any such services, policies and practices is required, the public entity shall
proceed to make the necessary modifications.
Prior to incorporation, the County of Spokane completed a self - evaluation of their programs, policies and
facilities. This will be the first self - evaluation prepared for the City of Spokane Valley itself.
Program:
Survey and Report: The ADA self evaluation is intended to uncover any barriers to access to City
programs for people with disabilities. It is the first step in a plan to eliminate such barriers to City
programs and facilities. The survey is comprehensive, covering programs, communication, architectural,
and employment barriers throughout all City departments. A comprehensive questionnaire has been
developed for all City departments to thoroughly consider and assess the accessibility of their individual
programs, policies, facilities and procedures. Sidewalk ramp facilities are also being inventoried for
compliance. Departments will complete individual surveys and a comprehensive City report will be
compiled.
Transition Plan: Following completion of the surveys and report determining actual barriers, a transition
plan will be drafted. The transition plan will identify actions the City will take to mitigate access barriers.
Any items that will not be corrected in the next calendar year will be listed with an estimated time frame
for correction.
Public Participation: The public outreach component is an important piece of the program. As stated in
section 35.105.(b) and (c) of the CFR:
(b) A public entity shall provide an opportunity to interested persons, including individuals with disabilities
or organizations representing individuals with disabilities, to participate in the self evaluation process by
submitting comments.
(c) A public entity that employs 50 or more persons shall, for at least three years following completion of
the self evaluation, maintain on file and make available for public inspection:
1. A list of the interested persons consulted;
2. A description of areas examined and any problems identified; and
3. A description of any modifications made.
The public participation piece consists of stakeholder meetings and public hearings. The City will conduct
meetings with interest groups, or stakeholders, throughout the process. The purpose of the stakeholder
meetings will be to gain input on the survey questions and analysis. Early public involvement will identify
items that may have been overlooked in the survey template and will help stakeholders understand the
limits of the project and transition plan, if necessary.
ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan
Project Description and Scope of Work
May 2010
Hearings before the City Council will provide additional opportunity for public input. A minimum of two
public hearings are anticipated: one to present the completed self evaluation surveys and another to
present the report and transition plan.
Schedule:
The ADA Self Evaluation and Transition Plan project schedule follows. (Please note that the sidewalk
and curb ramp analysis may lag slightly behind the analysis covering overall programs, communications
and employment barriers. This portion of the sefl evaluation and transition plan may trail into 2011.)
