minutes to evaluate the qualifications of candidates for appointment to elective office [RCW
42.30.110(1)(h)J, and that action is anticipated thereafter during the regular 6:00 p.m. council meeting.
Prior to council exiting to executive session, Mayor Towey announced that he was recusing himself from
these proceedings; he explained that for the past two years he was connected almost weekly to one of the
candidates through many communications; and said he supports a particular candidate for this fall and has
given financially in his strong support and therefore feels a perception of assumed fairness is at risk, and
said that is the basis for his decision.

Executive Session at 5:04 p.m. At approximately 5:19 Deputy Mayor Schimmels declared council out of
Executive Session and Mayor Towey returned to the dias. It was moved by Councilmember Gothmann,

INTRODUCTION OF SPECIAL GUESTS AND PRESENTATIONS: n/a
COMMITTEE, BOARD, LIAISON SUMMARY REPORTS:
Councilmember Woodard: no report.
Councilmember Gothmann reported that he attended the Spokane Regional Health Department

future medical school; attended a Financial Access meeting, which is a branch of SNAP, and he gave an
update of their financial status; went to Discovery Playground opening; participated in the Governance
Manual meeting; attended the Board of Health Executive meeting where it was mentioned they will not
reduce reserves this year as thought earlier; went to a 9 -1 -1 Board meeting concerning consolidation of
dispatch for the area, and mentioned that revenue is coming in ahead of budget but they will have to go to
the bond market in June due to cash flow issues.
Councilmember Grafos said he attended the Growth Management Act (GMA) Board meeting where they
continue to work on land inventory in the County; and attended the State of the City address at Seth
Woodard school.
Deputy Mayor Schimmels explained that he attended an Economic Development meeting in Seattle
where they discussed local economic competitiveness in a global area, which meeting was hosted by the
Trade Development Alliance of Greater Seattle, which hosted a delegation of ninety Chinese leaders from
six major cities in China, and said perhaps he could give an in -depth report on this meeting at an
upcoming Study Session; he reported that he also attended the State of the City address last week, and the
Open House at Discovery Park, as well as a Washington State Department of Transportation Open House,
Council Regular Meeting 04 -26 -2011 Page 1 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
and mentioned an upcoming community meeting Thursday at the Hope Lutheran Church on East
Broadway, where they will discuss such projects as the Barker Road interchange through Harvard.
Councilmember Grassel said she attended the State of the City addresses, and the GMA Steering
Committing meeting, as well as the Discovery Park opening.
MAYOR'S REPORT: Mayor Towey reported that he met with Liberty Lake Mayor VanOrman; heard a
Federal Transportation Report from Representative McMorris Rogers at the Lincoln Center and
mentioned the report was favorable concerning funding for the north Spokane corridor; and said that he
has given three State of the City addresses now with the final address scheduled for Thursday at 12:30
p.m. at CenterPlace. Mayor Towey then read proclamations for Public Service Recognition Week, and
Municipal Clerk's Week; and Deputy Mayor Schimmels read the Worker's Memorial Day proclamation.
PUBLIC COMMENTS: Mayor Towey invited general public comments.
Mike Thompson, 10319 E Sprague Avenue: gave an update on the Fire Department's process to achieve
their International Fire Service Accreditation; said their Department was thoroughly examined with over
200 performance measures in mind; that about 90 of those measures were core competencies; that the site
team came in last week and spent about three and one -half days with them and said the department will be
recommended for the International Accreditation at the end of August; he said the Department did an
exemplary job and he is very proud of the Spokane Valley Fire Department and what they have
accomplished.
Mr. Alan Creach, Manager of the Plant Farm at 14208 E 4 and resides at 15108 E 18 Court, Spokane
Valley: via the city clerk, he distributed handouts to Council, one of which was RCW 46.08.065 and the
other was a fact sheet concerning unmarked vehicles. Mr. Creach said the RCW deals with the rules and
codes of Washington that demand and specify that cars used for patrol purposes are to be marked, with
one exception concerning confidential or undercover investigative instances; he said there are unmarked
cars in patrol in the valley all the time; and said his father was killed by a Spokane Policeman who was
operating an unmarked car; that his father had responded to what he thought was a theft, and went out to
investigate while carrying a handgun; and said by that officer's own testimony, that his father did not
threaten the officer or point the weapon at him; and when identification was made, he backed away from
the car and pushed his gun in his back waistband. Mr. Creach said his father was 74 years old with
eyesight problems, it was late at night and the car was parked in a dark area. He said Mayor Towey
previously made reference to the fact that an investigation and a decision was made by the prosecuting
attorney; but Mr. Creach said that investigation quoted that the angle of wound was slightly downward;
and said that the prosecuting attorney made his decision and informed the family months before he made
such decision public, that he would not be making any charges against that officer. Mr. Creach said later
when the facts actually came out, the downward angle of that wound was 56° downward, which he said is
not slight. Mr. Creach said had that car been marked, he doubts his father would have concluded that
theft was occurring; and said for the safety and security of the community citizens, he asked the Mayor to
require the Sheriff to follow the laws of Washington and mark the patrol cars; and if the Sheriff is not
willing to do that, then he asked Council to pass an ordinance that within this city, the Sheriff would be
required to operate patrol cars with the appropriate markings required by law. Mr. Creach said he
addressed Council several months ago about this issue, and said he was expecting that Council would
have reacted and done something, and said he finds it disappointing that Council has done nothing; and he
quoted from the bible, the last verse of the Book of Judges, Chapter 19: "and it was so that all that saw it
said there was no such deed done nor seen from the day that the children of Israel came up out of the land
of Egypt until this day; consider of it, take advice and speak your minds." Mr. Creach challenged Council
to read that chapter.
Beryl patrick, 16801 E 44"' Ave, Greenacres said that she is not a Spokane Valley city resident but is
a resident of Spokane Valley; said that they brought up this same issue at one of the community meetings;
Council Regular Meeting 04 -26 -2011 Page 2 of 6
Approved by Council:
DRAFT
and said she wanted to see if Council was going to pursue this and make sure that officers follow the laws
of Washington, and if not, why not; and if so, she asked when can residents expect that to occur.
Mark Henderson, 831 S Shelley Lake Lane said he is a property owner on Sprague Avenue and he is here
to voice his support for the amendments going forward concerning SARP. Mayor Towey explained that
is an action item and there will be opportunity for comment during that agenda item.
Mr. Chris Williams, 14105 E 8 Avenue also spoke regarding unmarked cars and use of those unmarked
cars as a block for patrol officers on private property on businesses like St. Mary's Catholic Church; said,
he has seen those unmarked cars on traffic patrol and not as an undercover operation; and said it is
difficult to keep to the posted speed limit when you see those men waiting to ticket you; and tell you were
going one speed and then write a ticket for a different speed, and said that is a practice of setting protocol;
and said a message needs to be sent to the Sheriffs Office that if they are to hold citizens accountable to
the law, then the reverse is true.
Richard Behm, 9405 E Sprague said he owns commercial property in Dishman; and said for years he has
encouraged the Sheriffs Department and now the Spokane Valley Police Department, to use his property
and park there when they wish as it is a detriment to vandalism; and said if this is a question about the
legality of what the Sheriff is doing, he would request Council to ask the City Manager and City Attorney
to make a public city stand on this to state that they consider is legal concerning the actions of the
Sheriffs Department.
Councilmember Gothmann said there were some people tonight asking for a response; he said he is
stating his opinion and not that of the Council's; that he is not a lawyer, but has read the State Statutes
carefully concerning this issue and that he feels the statutes do permit unmarked cars, and said he noted
there has been a 40% increase in police fatalities from last year. Councilmember Woodard voiced his
empathy for the Creach family and those concerned and said he feels they are entitled to hear the position
of the city and that citizens should get a response at some point as to the city's position.

Opposed: None. Motion carried.
5. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 11 -009 Comp Plan CPA 03 -11, Sprague /Appleway Revitalization
Plan (SARP) — Mike Basinger
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded, to adopt Ordinance I1 -009. Attorney Connelly explained that this ordinance would delete
Book 1 of the SARP and amend the comprehensive plan map and return the comprehensive plan
designation to those which preceded the adoption of SARP in the fall of 2009; he said that the Findings
are included in the ordinance and were discussed in detail at the last council meeting, and there have been
no changes to those Findings; and said that this is the companion ordinance to ordinance 11 -010 which
will amend the zoning code. Mayor Towey invited public comment. Mark Henderson, 831 S. Shelley
Lake encouraged Council to pass the ordinance to eliminate the SARP plan. Chuck Hafner, 2417
Sunnybrook Lane said he is not for continuing the SARP, and spoke of the quality of life of citizens in
Spokane Valley, and that SARP does not reflect that quality of life, and he encouraged passage of the
amendment. Dwight Hume, 9101 N Mountain View Lane said that last week he said he represents three
land owners who collectively control 27 separate parcels in the SARP area, and said they were
encouraged by council forwarding this to a second reading and they were pleased to be able to now focus
on a normal market lifestyle; and thanked Council for listening to the landowners. Todd Hume, 505 W.
Riverside Avenue said he is a lawyer with the firm working with CarMax, helping them locate some
property in the area, and he commended Council on the repeal of this plan; and said jurisdictions of this
size have zoning and subarea plans as flexible as possible, which incentivizes the private sector to be
invigorated to push local dollars through this economy, which he said, is exactly what this repeal will do.
John McNamara, Real Estate Manager with CarMax, spoke in favor of the SARP repeal; he gave a recap
of what his company has done as mentioned previously; that he met with staff last week and from that
meeting they feel confident to proceed with his facility plan. William `Mac" Whiteford, 601 West Main
Avenue, Spokane also commended Council on the repeal of SARP. William Berry, 13017 E. Apache
Pass Lane, said he is not a resident but owns property in the area and he encouraged repeal of SARP,
adding that he had previously not been permitted to put in an automotive and glass residential repair shop
because of SARP regulations; and that he has been waiting since January 2011 for this repeal. Susan
Scott, 205 S. Evergreen Road also thanked Council for taking the time to listen to citizen concerns about
the damaging consequences for businesses and adverse affects on new development; and urged the repeal
of SARP.

Approved by Council:
DRAFT
Council discussion included comments from Councilmember Gothmann that while the Plan wasn't
perfect, the area needed change; that we still need to convert the $450,000 we pay annually for city hall;
that the library wants to replace its facility with a facility between Dartmouth and Evergreen; that perhaps
SARP was too far - reaching, but change is needed. Councilmember Grafos said he is not in favor of
SARP; that he doesn't believe we can attract economic development with all the restrictions and
regulations, and that we need to be competitive. Councilmember Woodard said he continues to hear that
the regulations are too strict, and sees this as an opportunity to release the regulations and free people to
move forward. Deputy Mayor Schimmels mentioned that this has gone on for a long time and has resulted
in a lot of agony, but believes we are back where we can service citizens with that they need.
Councilmember Grassel said she feels a form based code is not progress and not necessary for free
markets, and that the business owners know best and government should not meddle in their rights.
Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers
Woodard, Grafos and Grassel. Opposed Councilmember Gothmann. Motion carried.
6. Second Reading Proposed Ordinance 11 -010 Comp Plan CPA 03 -11, SARP Zoning Map — Mike
Basinger
After City Clerk Bainbridge read the ordinance title, it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and
seconded to adopt ordinance I1 -010. Attorney Connelly explained that this is the companion ordinance
to ordinance 11 -009 just passed, and it will repeal Books 2 and 3 of the SARP, and will revise the zoning
map. Mayor Towey invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In
Favor: Mayor Towey, Deputy Mayor Schimmels, and Councilmembers Woodard, Grafos, and Grassel.
Opposed Councilmember Gothmann. Motion carried.
Mayor Towey called for a recess at 7:15 p.m., and reconvened the meeting at 7:29 p.m.
7. Motion Consideration: Approval of Detention Services Agreement — Morgan Koudelka
It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels and seconded to authorize the City Manager or designee to
execute the Interlocal Agreement for the Provision of Detention Services between the City of Spokane
Valley and Spokane County. Senior Administrative Analyst Koudelka went over some of the highlights
of the agreement, including that it would be retroactive to January 1, 2010; and is a three -year agreement
which will automatically renew annually until either party provides termination notice; that the agreement
combines the Jail and Geiger Interlocal agreements services; creates an advisory group which will meet
quarterly, and includes a fund reserve which will be returned at the end of the agreement. Mayor Towey
invited public comment; no comments were offered. Vote by Acclamation: In Favor: Unanimous.
Opposed: None. Motion carried.
8. Motion Consideration: Motions for May 10 Applicant Interviews for Council Position #5 — Mayor
Towey
Mayor Towey stated that he will recuse himself from this proceeding; that he had a working relationship
with one of the candidates for the past two years, sometimes meeting weekly, and there was a financial
part in that he continued to assist in his campaign for this fall and therefore feels that the perception of
assumed fairness would be at risk, which he said is the basis for his decision, and he turned the meeting
over to Deputy Mayor Schimmels and left the room at approximately 7:35 p.m. Deputy Mayor
Schimmels said Council will use the same process for the selection of this position as was used for the
previous council position, and he noted that John Baldwin has withdrawn his application; and Deputy
Mayor Schimmels opened the floor for nominations. Deputy Mayor Schimmels mentioned that to be
interviewed, the candidate must receive at least three votes.
Councilmember Grassel nominated Steven Neill, and the nomination was seconded by Councilmember
Woodard. Councilmember Grafos nominated Chuck Hafner, and said for the record that Mr. Hafner
contributed $100 to Mr. Grafos' re- election campaign, but that has not affected his nomination tonight.
The nomination was seconded by Councilmember Gothmann. Councilmember Woodard nominated

ADMINISTRATIVE REPORTS:
9. Community Development Block Grant/HOME Consortium Cooperation Agreement — Scott Kuhta
Community Development Director McClung extended apologies for Mr. Kuhta's absence as he was
called away right before tonight's meeting. Ms. McClung went over some of the background for this item
as per the April 26, 2011 Request for Council Action form; and said that staff will return to Council May
10 asking for authorization to send the required written notice to Spokane County that we wish to remain
with the status quo, that of deferring entitlement statues and participation as part of the urban county with
Spokane County. There were no objections from Council to bring this back as a motion consideration on
the May 10 agenda.
10. Advance Agenda — Mayor Towey
Councilmember Grafos said at the April 14 finance committee meeting, they discussed the Sprague
beautification and stormwater project and he asked when that would come to full council for review. Mr.
Jackson said that public works is working on that and they will try to set a date at their upcoming staff
meeting. Councilmember Grafos also said that he met with the owner of the Painted Hills Golf Course
and said there has been some serious flooding, and said we could lose the road is we don't deal with this
situation. Mr. Jackson said he is aware of the historical flooding across that area and public works is
considering some options as a permanent fix. Deputy Mayor Schimmels said that he would like to give
perhaps a thirty- minute summary of that economic development summit he attended in Seattle, and Mr.
Jackson said he will discuss possible dates with Mr. Schimmels. Councilmember Woodard mentioned
the Broadway Stormwater Project and confirmed that it is listed as one of the components of the 2011
budget amendment discussion for May 17

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: CDBG /HOME Consortium Cooperation Agreement — 2012 to 2014
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Community Development Block Grant Program — Federal
Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD)
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: In 2008 the City Council entered into a three year
agreement (2009 -2011) to participate in the Spokane County CDBG /HOME Consortium.
BACKGROUND: Every three years, Spokane County is required to re- qualify as an Urban
County Consortium in order to participate in the U.S. Department of Urban and Housing
Development's (HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program. The
City of Spokane Valley is again in the position to decide whether to renew its participation in the
CDBG /HOME Consortium or become a direct entitlement recipient from HUD. In order for
Spokane County to meet its obligation under the HUD, the County must receive written notice of
the City's decision by May 27, 2011.
During this re- qualification period for Spokane County, the City must select one of the following
four options relative to its participation in the CDBG program:
1. Accept entitlement status and receive CDBG funds directly from HUD;
2. Accept entitlement status and enter into joint agreement with Spokane County;
3. Defer entitlement status and participate through the State CDBG program; or
4. Defer entitlement status and participate as part of urban county with Spokane County
(current option that Spokane Valley is participating).
In May, 2008 Spokane County Commissioners approved Resolution No. 8 -0483, which
established a twenty percent "set- aside" of the annual allocation of CDBG funding for eligible
infrastructure improvements within the City of Spokane Valley. The resolution states that the
set -aside was established as a condition of Spokane Valley's participation in the County
CDBG /HOME Consortium for fiscal years 2009, 2010 and 2011.
Tim Crowley, HCD Program Manager, informed City staff that he "broadly interprets" the
resolution to include subsequent requalification periods. Mr. Crowley further stated that the
County would be willing the update the resolution for more clarity.
On April 27, 2011, City Council reviewed the draft Cooperation Agreement, directing Staff to
prepare a motion for consideration at their May 10, 2011 Council meeting.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize City Manager's signature on the
Cooperation Agreement for Community Development Block Grant and Home Investments
Partnership Funds for the years 2012 to 2014.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: As noted above.

Spokane Valley, WA 99206
Dear Mr. Jackson:
Spokane County, has participated in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development's
(HUD) Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Entitlement Program since 1988 and in
the HOME Entitlement Program since 1991. Every three years, HUD requires Urban County
Consortiums, such as Spokane County, to re- qualify. Currently, Spokane County is scheduled
to re- qualify in 201.1 for fiscal years 2012, 2013, and 2014.
The City of Spokane Valley has been a member of the Spokane County Urban Consortium
since 2006.
Currently, the annual CDBG Entitlement for Spokane County is approximately $1.5 million.
According to a recently released breakdown of the current CDBG entitlement, the proportionate
share for Spokane Valley is $559,833. 1 have enclosed a list of the projects for which past
CDBG funds have been used in Spokane Valley. The annual average of CDBG funds
Spokane Valley has received is $700,293, for a grant total of $5,602,345 since fiscal year 2003.
During the re- qualification period, the City must select one of the following four options with
regard to its participation in the CDBG program:
1. Accept status as an entitlement grantee;
2. Accept status as an entitlement grantee and enter into a joint agreement with Spokane
County;
3. Defer status as an entitlement grantee and participate through the State CDBG program;
or
4. Defer status as an entitlement grantee and participate as part of the urban county,
(Note: This is the option that Spokane Valley has selected since 2003).
Please provide written notification of the option selected to Spokane County. if you choose to
remain In t.. consortium, please send a letter (sample enclosed) by May 27, 201'1 stating
.. e .�R, ,n, ..,
your choice.
If you decide not to participate in the consortium, you need to notify Spokane County
and HUD in writing by May 27, 2011 The contact person at HUD is:
1 1 16 WEST BROADWAY AVENUE • SPOKANE, WASHINGTON 99260 -0100
(509) 477 -2265
Steven K. Washington
U.S. Department of Housing and Urban. Development
Seattle Federal Office Building
909 First Avenue, Suite 300
Seattle, WA 98104 -1000
The choice not to participate in the consortium means:
The City of Spokane Valley will not be eligible to receive CDBG and HOME Program
funds from Spokane County;
2. The population of Spokane Valley will not be included in the urban county;
3. The City of Spokane Valley will be eligible to apply to the State of Washington
Department of Community Development for Community Development Block Grant and
HOME Program funds;
4. The City of Spokane Valley could accept status as an entitlement grantee;
5. The City of Spokane Valley could enter into a joint agreement with Spokane County.
If the City of Spokane Valley would like to continue as a consortium member, please review the
attached inter -local cooperation agreement. The agreement requires the City to commit to the
consortium for a three -year period, unless subsequent notice is given to HUD. Present the
agreement to your City Council for review, discussion, and acceptance. In addition to sending
.the initial letter, Please return the signed interlocal agreement not later than May 31, 2011.
Once the agreement is signed by the Commissioners, a copy of the fully executed document will
be mailed to you.
A change from previous urban qualification notification procedures is the inclusion of additional
language in the interlocal cooperation agreement, allowing it to serve as the agreement needed
in order to administer the Spokane County Affordable Housing Trust Fund (Substitute House Bill
2060) and the Spokane County Homeless Housing Assistance Act (HHAA) f=und (ESSHB 2163,
1359 and 2331), which authorized Spokane County's Housing and Community Development
Advisory Committee to serve as the regional body for reviewing proposals, initiatives and
making funding recommendations for these programs.
If you have any questions about Spokane County's CDBG, HOME, Affordable Housing Trust
Fund, or HHAA programs, please contact division manager Tim Crowley at 477 -4488 or by e-
mail at tcrowley(o).spokanecounty.org

Request for Council Action
Meeting Date: May 10, 2011 City Manager Sign -off
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ❑ public hearing
❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Motion Consideration: Public Access Programming Contract
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Franchise Agreement Ordinance 09 -034
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Approval of Comcast franchise December 1, 2009
BACKGROUND: The Council adopted Ordinance 09 -034, which approved the franchise
between Spokane Valley and Comcast so that Comcast may place its cable facilities in the
City's right -of -way so it can operate its business. One of the requirements of the franchise (a
contract granted by ordinance) is for Comcast to provide funding to the City for capital
purchases associated with the creation and broadcasting of public, educational, and
governmental (PEG) programming.
0 PEG funding is the equivalent of $.35 per subscriber per month
0 21,732 out of 35,000 Spokane Valley households subscribe to Comcast
0 Estimated $90,011 per year in PEG funding with $150,000 upfront.
$.25 /subscriber /month is withheld to pay off $150,000 upfront payment. Staff projects
receiving $25,717 in 2011, $26,994 in 2012, and $90,011 in the years 2013 -15.
0 Staff recommends reserving $80,000 of the $150,000 payment for City use and splitting
remainder equally between educational and public access programming. Both current
providers of public and educational programming in Spokane County are receiving
equal funding from the City of Spokane, both request funding equal to the other, and
both have similar capital needs. Spokane Valley staff negotiated the PEG fee with
Comcast based upon need for all three components.
One proposal was received in response to a request- for - proposal (RFP) from Community -
Minded Television (CMTV), a division of Community- Minded Enterprises, a local non - profit
organization. All RFP criteria were satisfied. CMTV is the current public access provider for the
City of Spokane and City of Spokane Valley subscribers currently receive CMTV programming.
Staff recommends making $35,000 in PEG funds available to CMTV for the year 2011. Future
funding would be awarded on an annual basis.
OPTIONS: Authorize the City Manager to execute the agreement selecting Community- Minded
Television as the sole broadcaster of public access content on Comcast Channel 14, or deny
authorization to enter into a contract with CMTV.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to authorize the City Manager to execute the
agreement with Community- Minded Television to act as the public access channel manager.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: $35,000 of PEG funds received by Comcast would be made
available in 2011. Funding for years 2012 -2015 would be made on an annual basis.

DRAFT
AGREEMENT FOR SERVICES
Community- Minded Television
THIS AGREEMENT is between the City of Spokane Valley, a code City of the State of
Washington, hereinafter "City," and Community- Minded Television, hereinafter "CMTV," jointly
referred to as "parties."
WHEREAS, the City of Spokane Valley has obtained certain channel resources and capital
financing as a result of a Franchise renewal with the local Cable Operator, Comcast of
Pennsylvania/Washington/West Virginia, LP, ( "Comcast" ); and
WHEREAS, the Franchise documents include the Franchise Ordinance itself as well as one side
letter. For convenience, Section 13 of the Franchise Ordinance affecting such aforementioned channel
resources is attached hereto as Exhibit A and incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, CMTV has agreed to provide community programming identified in Section 13 of
the City's franchise with Comcast as reflected in its Proposal, attached hereto as Exhibit B and
incorporated herein; and
WHEREAS, the City provided public notice it would accept applications from entities interested
in contracting with the City to provide public television for City residents. CMTV responded by applying
to the City for execution of an agreement for such services, and the CMTV proposal appears to be in the
public interest;
NOW, THEREFORE, in consideration of the terms and conditions contained herein, the parties
agree as follows:
1. DESIGNATION OF CMTV AS CHANNEL MANAGER. The City designates CMTV as
Channel Manager of the channel reserved in Exhibit A. This designation terminates if the Comcast
Franchise Agreement terminates or expires. The designation is in the nature of a quit -claim authorization,
to the extent of the City's power and authority to make such designation, without any promises or
warranties. This section and Section 2 immediately below, comprise the entire obligations of the City
under this Agreement, notwithstanding any other provision. The failure to provide at least 16 hours each
day on average over each calendar week of broadcasting shall be considered a material breach of this
Agreement.
2. GRANT FROM PEG FEE SOURCE
a. Subject to applicable Franchise requirements for PEG Fee source expenditures that may apply,
the City agrees to pay CMTV from the "PEG Fee" resource identified in Exhibit A, a grant of
$35,000 for capital equipment and other capital expenditures in accord with the equipment list
attached as Exhibit C hereto. The parties agree Exhibit C is a planning document and may be
revised, subject to the City's approval and Comcast's review to the extent appropriate, as
provided hereafter. For each subsequent year of the agreement, the City will notify CMTV by
October 31 of the preceding year the amount of PEG funds projected to be distributed, if any.
The actual amount of funding available will be determined by the actual PEG contributions
provided to the City by Comcast. Any additional funds would be subject to the same
requirements as the original PEG Fee grant contained herein.
Community Minded Television Page 1 of 6
b. With respect to the PEG Fee grant, CMTV is solely responsible for satisfying any
expenditures and/or documentation requirements of Comcast set forth in Exhibit A (to the extent
applicable), and agrees to indemnify and hold harmless the City from any loss or liability for
CMTV's failure to satisfy any applicable requirements set forth therein. Under no circumstances
shall the City be independently liable to CMTV for payment of any additional funds in the event
of a reduction of money payable by Comcast to the City. Nothing herein limits CMTV's option to
apply for additional PEG funding or creates any obligation on the part of the City to accept such
applications.
c. Within 90 days, upon request, CMTV shall provide Comcast with appropriate documentation
showing expenditures for PEG capital use of the previous year's PEG funding and showing the
budgeted use of the current year's PEG funding. In the event CMTV cannot demonstrate that
PEG funding was used or budgeted for PEG capital needs consistent with Franchise requirements,
it is responsible to reimburse the City any reduction in PEG funding obligations by Comcast
under Exhibit A under this or any future PEG Fee grant source.
3. PAYMENT CMTV acknowledges and is accustomed to the practice of being held accountable
for achieving deliverables associated with grant funds. Because these funds are restricted to capital
expenditures, CMTV understands the City's concern about protecting the grant resource in case of CMTV
non - performance. The funds shall only be available for reimbursement following expenditures by
CMTV. Reimbursements will only be made from PEG funds received from Comcast. The City receives
quarterly PEG payments from Comcast. The City will provide CMTV with the current available balance
upon request. Reimbursement requests shall include invoices and proof of payment. Reimbursement
shall be made within 30 days of request.

and Council with its' unique approach to Community•Access Television. By including the City
of Spokane Valley with this new agreement, it will draw from and blend several sources: 1) The

By connecting the creative and technical abilities of the young with the experience of our elderly
citizens, The City of Spokane Valley, through Coniniirnity Minded TV can create an identity
with tomorrow's leaders while teaching them about its past.
Comm unity Minded TV can also work with the City of-Spokane Valley schools to utilize their
existing technology and infrastructure to provide classes, teach new software and provide a
media outlet beyond the reach of the classroom to create awareness for youth driven projects and
concerns. This can also be facilitated with Community - Minded Enterprises' initiative the Youth
Sustainability Council which for the.last 30 months has been developing strong partnerships
throughout the City of Spokane with organizations that provide services or outreach to the youth
population. Including the City of Spokane Valley in this initiative and facilitating the expression
of the youth ideals would create a sense of identity and culture that can reach beyond the
classroom and into the hearts and minds of your citizens.
Amount Requested Cornfnunity Minded TV proposes the following breakdowns for the capital
dollars requested:
35,000 for purchase of See attached Addendum A
Connn tin ity Minded TVbrings in to play a strong partnership with KSPS to facilitate and
continue the broadcast of the station whose in -kind contribution to this effort would require a
minimum of $150,000 for similar infrastructure and $25,000 to facilitate the creation of a new
station playlist (as well as operational man hour dollars to facilitate programming ingestation).
These costs have already been incurred by CMTV and would save great expense to the City of
Spokane Valley's citizens.
Conclusion: Community - Minded Television formally requests to continue the operation of
Spokane Valley's community access channel and looks forward to engaging the citizens and
councils as a community improvement tool that will foster new ideas, understanding and better
communication. ,Wc would like to encourage the Council to think about the culture of Spokane
Valley and the different ways this can be expressed by the citizens, and to encourage and support
the citizenry in their efforts to relate to one another through this - medium.

COMMUNITY - MINDED TELEVISION
PRELIMINARY ANNUAL REPORT
April 20,2011
To be clear, this is a duplicate of the Annual report given to the City of Spokane in
September of 2010.
Community - Minded Enterprises (CME), Community Cable Channel Manager for Spokane Cable
Channel 14, submits this preliminary annual report to the Spokane Valley City Council and staff,
and Comcast Cable, as delineated in the April 201 (agreement between CME and the City. The
CABLE Advisory Board having dissolved this past year, so are not included in this year's report.
As anticipated in the 2007 year, Community- Minded Television's successes during 2008 have
pushed forward CME's vision for CMTV to become a community- enhancing resource.
Although there have been budget shortfalls since its inception, CMTV has built a stable
community resource not only utilized by the general public, but also by nonprofit organizations,
service agencies, and disadvantaged young adults. Never before in this community have we seen
such a diverse array of quality programming that can be utilized for information and outreach by
such an diverse range of organizations and individuals. We look forward to fresh ideas with the
desire to expand our efforts in the coming year..
ACCOMPLISHMENTS
City Contract Programming Requirement Met:
The City's contract stipulated that CMTV broadcast programming and offer classes to the public
and CMTV has met these requirements. We currently broadcast 24 hours per day, seven days per
week and will continue to do so through this calendar year. Classes for this year began slowly
and will be continued through traditional outreach efforts, but resource development and
marketing funds remain unclear and we have relied greatly on our parent organization
Community- Minded Enterprises to secure a great deal of our fee for service funding and this has
resulted in compelling pieces covering a wide range of social and professional services.
Operational Budget:
The City of Spokane, because of budget restrictions, did not contribute any monies toward
operational funds for the 2010 year, which affected •CMTV's operational stability. CMTV began
offering a fee - for - service capacity for nonprofit organizations, service agencies, and state
agencies during the 2008 year; these services expanded their reach in 2009 and in 2010 stabilized
and brought in $73,574.46 in production service contracts. Although this number held steadily
in 2010 (fiom $72,815.73), the lack of awarded operational dollars from the City of Spokane and
Spokane County has made it challenging to launch and implement full -scale continued outreach
and training efforts during 2010.
Continued operational resources are needed'to launch full -scale outreach efforts to youth
and into the self - identified neighborhoods and the desire for a studio location to accommodate
the variety of programs and causes has sparked a conversation about creating a Community Arts
Center near our current facility, that may provide many opportunities to make our satation more
vibrant and linked to the community. News of this will probably be forthcoming in the next year.

PRELIMINARY ANNUAL REPORT
April 20,2011
We currently operate with 1 FTE and 1 PTE employers but are stabilizing community production
efforts and outreach with support from volunteers, Coordinating committee members and work-
study students.
Outreach to /from the Public:
Throughout.the 2010 year, CMTV has reached out to the Spokane community in diverse ways
that have benefited, grown and strengthened Spokane and neighboring communities. Our most
notable outreach efforts have been:
• Youth Outreach -- Over the course of the year, CMTV continued its outreach campaign
to disadvantaged young adults through local nonprofit and service organizations, offering
technical trainings as a pathway for career development. In exchange for volunteer hours
worked at CMTV, we drew an equivalent of hours given toward a class of their choice at
a rate of 10 hours per class. This effort has continued moderate success and CMTV has
been able to grant scholarship opportunities to d students in exchange for hours
volunteered. This program targeted these young adults as a way to give them skills they
would otherwise not have, making them more valuable to local employers. This program.
needs to expand and grant monies will again be sought this year so that we may return to
2008 levels.
• Artists, Showcase —The second call to artists is finishing, and a fresh sampling of local
visual and musical art will be hitting the airwaves soon.
• TV Guide — In 2009, CMTV began posting its programming schedule on television so
program information and descriptions can be found as easily as regular stations. We also
branded our station and communication's materials with a new logo and colors that speak
more about the digital, global society we live in.

Community Producers/Volunteers:
CMTV relies heavily on its community producers and volunteers. Since January of this year,
community producers have created and submitted 54 unique programs and 3 ongoing series to
CMTV for airing. Out of the current 175 programs that are playing on channel 14, 77% of our
programming lineup is from community producers. We anticipate the numbers of cbmmunity-
provided programs to CMTV to increase next year, since more residents are being trained in
production and we have recently begun creating 3 more - series with producers that should turn
out more than 8 new programs per month.
During 2010, CMTV has been fortunate enough to have the help of 16 dedicated volunteers, four
interns and four work study students, for a total of 3,863 hours of volunteer community service.
These volunteers have contributed all types and styles of tasks, from playing a key part on video
productions; editing and filming their own projects, to assisting us with the cleanliness of the
office. CMTV's website and Facebook pages have provided outreach and feedback and have
taken over where the Newsletter left off. This provides us with more power to respond to
producer requests and more input from our viewers.
CMTV Staff:
Robert Foote enjoyed his second full year as General Manager of CMTV. Koal Hill was
moved to a contract position in May of 2010 and Daniel Reyes formerly of Q6, permanently
filled the gap left by Robert while utilizing skills as a producer, editor and camera operator.
Daniel has lead the charge in reconstructing the image of CMTV to appeal to youth and
encourage young artisans in the community to become more involved. Our most recent program
Tour Stop, interviews major label bands as they pass through Spokane and provides their fans
with in -depth information about them while highlighting groups, clubs and major happenings
that help make Spokane a unique city. These staff members' salaries are supplemented by the
larger Community - Minded Enterprises organization, grants, and fee - far - service projects.

responsible media's future in the internet age, poetry slams, documentary film and screenwriting
workshops, sustainability efforts, global consumption and misuse of resources, yoga programs,

addiction. Please see the attached 2010 CMTV Programs document for a more complete list.
Training:
Community video production training began in •2007. We started with three introductory classes,
since it became apparent early that there was a need for basic digital video training for
community members, including a separate certification process on using our more advanced
Sony HD cameras. CMTV expanded the training offerings this year to seven classes that focus
on video production and graphic design. Gary Edwards became the first community producer to

CHALLENGES
Spokane County and Spokane Valley Cable PEG ending Conunitment:
In 2007, conversations Community- Minded Television had with elected officials in the County
and the City of the Valley were quite promising regarding their franchise renewals and PEG fee
negotiations with 'Comeast. CMTV anticipated receiving a similar ratio of the County and
Spokane Valley PEG fees collected as the City of Spokane passed through to channel 14.
These monies, however, have been delayed by the ongoing franchise negotiations. This
continued delay slows down the growth of CMTV; without the additional County and/or Valley
dollars in our budget, CMTV cannot launch efforts as fully as we had hoped, The City of
Spokane Valley has completed their negotiations with Comeast regarding their franchise fees and
a new deal has been ratified and the station awaits their capital dollar injection to provide more

CMTV is now on Facebook as CMTV Spokane, This forum is working well for exchange of
information between producers and volunteers and has helped provide feedback to many
programs on the air. CMTV has had this fully running since February of 2010.

CMTV began airing the plenary speakers from the Bioneers conference and has over 30
programs to date that bring new scientific and global perspectives to the people of the Spokane
region.
CMTV is also working with local producers on -shows such as "Speakers Corner" and "Spokane
Roundtable" that will bring personal conversations with some of Spokane's prominent players
and advocates.
New and Continuing Partnerships:
Community - Minded Enterprises is an organization based on community collaboration and
partnership, and CMTV is no exception. Through the past year, we have partnered with The
City of Spokane Valley to begin broadcasting their City Council Meetings and are working with
numerous groups to create more vibrant local programming. We are also pursuing relationships
with other PEG stations to provide programming about democracy building, and sustainable
neighborhoods to our viewers and have even thrown in some entertainment on Friday nights with
old black and white horror movies from the 50's and 60's, as well as student filmmaker works
from local filmmakers and students of Eastern Washington University, Gonzaga, and Whitworth.
CMTV Services;
CMTV offers video production services for nonprofits, service organizations and state agencies,
and recently we expanded our services in graphic design. CMTV has seen community response
grow due to our ability to offer design services for brochures, flyers, posters, and web pages.
Our lower - than - typical industry rates assist many nonprofits with their marketing budgets. It is
our hope to augment part of our operational costs by offering these services.

FIVE YEAR PLAN
COMMUNITY- MINDED TELEVISION
PRELIMINARY ANNUAL REPORT
April 20,2011
Below are some of CMTV's anticipated goals and objectives for the next five years.
• Capital Needs: As CMTV grows, it will be performing more productions and services
in the Spokane community. Over time, this will require more equipment to supplement
or replace what we currently have. CMTV is anticipating purchasing in the next five
years: higher -end production cameras; additional lights and audio gear; upgrades to our
existing editing suites as well as the purchase of additional editing hardware and
software; a production vehicle; and hardware for signal broadcast (server node, CG
generator). These are just some of the major purchases we will be looking at and does
not include smaller items, or the need for a larger CMTV studio.
• Staffmg: Currently CMTV has one full -time employee and one part-time employee. By
looking at other successful community television stations and our goal for sustainable
growth, in five years CMTV would ideally have eight to ten employees. The amount of
anticipated production services, trainings and ongoing operations of the station will
require more staff support. The positions could include: General Manager,
Marketing/Sales Rep., Program Coordinator, four to five Production team
members/Trainers, Volunteer Coordinator, and an Operations Manager.
• Partnerships: CMTV plans to continue developing mutually advantageous partnerships
with local entities in the coming years. Our focus on sustainability could play primarily
into the arts and community involvement. While working with a great many
organizations around the region, we have created some partnerships that will serve us in
to the future. The primary focus of creating a more informed, tolerant and sustainable
community will rely heavily on the partnerships we create and support in these tough
economic times.
• Programming/Viewership: In five years CMTV is planning on programming quality
shows that captivate audiences and build viewership. Currently we have six weekly
shows with three under construction and many other single programs that pull in
audiences. It is our goal to work with community producers to create fiom 15 to 20
weekly shows that engage audiences and build the channel's audience to a larger
capacity. These shows could include everything from a healthy cooking show, business
talk show, to community roundtable discussions. All of these shows would have local
impact and relevance by promoting community -based solutions to Spokane community
issues, allowing all interested residents to express their ideas.
Training: In this last year CMTV classes have held steady. We are offering six classes in
everything from video production to graphic design. Within the next five years, CMTV would
like to offer a larger array of choices to fit communities' needs and demands.

CMTV would like to offer 20 -plus classes in video production, graphic design, motion graphics,
post - production, producing, writing, and others. Our hope is to become a main force for training
in these creative technology fields within the Inland Northwest.
Outreach /Community Involvement: Our goal has always been to be as inclusive of the
Spokane community as possible. We live in a diverse community and CMTV believes this
diversity needs to be represented on channel 14. Our main objectives are not only to
continuously outreach to the general public, but to strategically target our efforts to include
minority and underserved populations in Spokane. Working with CMTV's Board as well as
volunteers, we want to involve the community through premiers of new shows, fun events,
fundraisers, current productions, and many other types of involvement that may transpire. In
five years we aim for the Spokane community to see CMTV as a place of excitement and
community involvement.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Shoreline Master Program Update — Grant Funding Opportunity
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 90.58 and WAC 173 -26
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None.
BACKGROUND: As a part of the 2009 budget process Council included funding to update the
City's shoreline master program (SMP). URS, Corporation was hired by City to assist with the
update. Work has been underway since Fall 2009. At this time approximately 62% of the
contract amount has been spent.
The Department of Ecology (DOE) has informed staff of a grant funding opportunity. The
legislature has funds sufficient to award grants to jurisdictions that are required to adopt new
Shoreline Master Programs by 2013. Ecology staff has indicated up to $125,000.00 may be
available to the City to assist in completing the update. The funding may not be used to offset
costs previously incurred as part of the update project. The funding may only be used to pay for
tasks, deliverables, or staff time that will be encumbered after July 1, 2011. Although the city
currently has a contract with URS to complete the update process, grant monies could be used
to supplement the budget to pay for tasks or deliverables anticipated to begin after July 1, 2011,
as well as paying for staff time associated with the update. Additionally, projects have been
identified during the update process that would benefit the SMP update. These projects which
were not contemplated within the scope of work with URS could be completed with grant
monies. The attached memo provides summary information regarding tasks provided for in the
current contract, and identifies additional funding options.
If the City is interested in pursuing the grant monies, a draft scope of work must be provided to
DOE by mid May.
REQUESTED ACTION: Staff is requesting direction as to whether or not to proceed with the
grant application for any, or all, of the tasks described in the attached memo.

Re: DOE Grant Funding for SMP Update Project
Jamie Short, from the Department of Ecology has informed me of an Ecology funding
opportunity for our continued Shoreline Management Program Update. The legislature has
funds sufficient to award grants to jurisdictions that are required to adopt in 2013. Jamie has
indicated that up to $125,000.00 is available to the City of Spokane Valley if we need
additional funding to complete the update process. However, a draft scope of work must be
provided to DOE by mid May in order to obtain funding. DOE staff is committed to providing
as much technical and financial assistance as possible to insure that the City successfully
completes the update by the 2013 timeline.
The funding is not available as a retroactive funding tool, so it may not be used to offset costs
of tasks completed or monies spent. The funding is only available to pay for tasks,
deliverables, or staff time that will be encumbered after July 1, 2011. While the City has
budgeted money to pay for the update, and is under contract with URS to complete the
technical components of the work, the grant does provide an opportunity for the city to
supplement the budgeted amount with grant monies, or utilize the grant to pay for projects or
tasks not anticipated in the original work program. Following is a summary of the tasks
completed by staff and URS, the tasks to be completed that are included in the contract with
URS, and some additional funding options.
Current Contract
The current contract funds the following Tasks to complete the Shoreline Master Program
Update. The tasks identified in the table below represent the original tasks identified in the
scope of work with URS. All tasks that have been completed, or are currently in progress are
not eligible for DOE Funding. The Council originally budgeted $150,000.00 and the contract
signed with URS was for approximately $140,000.00 with a $3,000 amendment proposed.
Staff time for all tasks was not included in the budget, nor the costs associated with the public
participation program.

Possible funding opportunities
Now that work is underway it has become evident that other tasks could be completed that
would benefit the SMP update. The development of a Comprehensive Public Access Plan and
a Critical Areas Regulations Analysis are strongly encouraged by DOE staff. Due to the
technical nature of the tasks, it is presumed that a consultant would complete the work.
However, it should be noted that if these tasks are not completed, they will not prevent the
adoption of the Plan. Other tasks that are associated with revisions or staff time could be
reimbursed by the grant monies to insure that appropriate staff time is allocated to the project.
Currently it is assumed that adequate staff time will be allocated to the project, but reimbursed
out of the general fund. Below are brief descriptions of the additional tasks or staff
components that could be reimbursed by the grant.
Public Access Plan — Develop a comprehensive public access plan to eliminate public access
review at the project level. Public access is a required component of the SMA regulations
and a significant issue for the community.
Critical Areas Anal - SMA requires critical area regulations to meet a higher standard than
GMA; Current critical area regulations could be reviewed for consistency with SMA
requirements for adoption in SMP regulations. This analysis could be useful in
determining if the current critical area regulations meet the GMA requirements.
Revisions to all sections of the Plan - Experiences of other jurisdictions have indicated an
"unplanned for amount of revisions" to each element of the plan. This has in some cases
led to over spending of the consultant contract leaving staff without the technical support
for DOE discussions. While the contract contemplates some modifications, it does not
contemplate complete review of each element for consistency with required changes. This
would likely be an increase to the current contract with URS.
Local Adoption Process and potential negotiations with DOE — The contract does not
contemplate staff time for the local adoption process, nor does it incorporate assistance
from URS in negotiating with DOE through their review process. Once again, experiences
Memo to City Manager
SMP Grant Memo
May 3, 2011
Page 3 of 3
of other jurisdictions have indicated that this can be a costly and time consuming effort.
This may require an increase in the current contract with URS.
SEPA Review — The contract does not contemplate this required review. Staff time and
notification costs could be considered.
DOE Funding Considerations (Pros and Cons)
Currently DOE's involvement is limited to review of documents and the final review and
adoption of the SMP. DOE staff has been supportive and committed to providing assistance to
City staff. If the City were to accept a grant from the DOE their involvement in our process
would be increased. As part of the grant contract deliverables, quarterly reports, reporting
requirements, timelines and funding requests would be required. Project management costs
associated with staff time would increase. However, the grant can cover project management
costs.
Request for direction
At this time I am asking for direction as to whether or not to proceed with the application for
any, or all, of the tasks discussed.

AGENDA ITEM TITLE : Replacement of Permit Tracking Software,
GOVERNING LEGISLATION: None
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: No action taken, information only on 03 -29 -2011
BACKGROUND: The City is currently using a permit tracking system, PLUS, provided through
the County. It is a system created by the County Information Services Department and is going
to be retired in 2012. The City will need to find a system to replace the PLUS system.
City and County staff have investigated six systems and it appears that the County is ready to
procure its PLUS replacement. City staff has prepared the attached administrative report for
Council as a follow up to the information provided on 03 -29 -2011.
OPTIONS: 1. Authorize that funds for the purchase of hardware and permitting software be
included with the upcoming 2011 budget amendments.
2. Request staff investigate other permitting software systems.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Authorize inclusion of this funding request in the
upcoming 2011 budget amendment process so that staff can subsequently proceed with
procurement of Paladin permitting software system
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: One time cost to purchase hardware and software to replace
existing PLUS permitting system estimated at $146,000 (includes 10% contingency) and on-
going budget allocation for estimated yearly maintenance costs of $19,300 (which is 28% less
than the allocation for the current yearly permit tracking system maintenance fees).
STAFF CONTACT: Mary Kate McGee, Building Official
ATTACHMENTS: Permit Software Replacement Information
Permit Software Replacement
Backeround
City staff was informed by County Information Services (ISD) staff in July 2010 that the PLUS
system, currently used by both the City and the County for permit tracking, would be
decommissioned in the first quarter of 2012. PLUS is a proprietary system developed by County
ISD staff. The program used to design the system is 20 year old technology that has become
obsolete, prompting the County to retire the current system in favor of a newer, vendor supported
permit tracking system. The City has been using the County's PLUS system for most of the last
seven years with the City's PLUS data residing on a server at the County.
Over the last eight months, County and City staff have jointly reviewed six permitting systems
including: PLUS, Accela, CityWorks, Paladin Interlocking Software, Eden, eGov, and Paladin
SmartGov. System review included demonstrations by vendors, phone conversations with system
clients, and two field trips to look at the most promising systems, Eden and Paladin. City staff
applied a matrix system to compare systems to make sure we were comparing "apples to apples ".
PLUS, our current system, was reviewed with the County to determine the feasibility of
continuing its use. As noted in the introduction, PLUS is based upon technology which has long
been abandoned by Microsoft with no upgrade path provided. Accela is the system currently
used by the City of Spokane — actual cost and implementation is continuing overbudget and
behind schedule. CitiWorks and eGov are still developing (BETA) systems which would require
an extensive commitment of city staff time further develop and implement. Paladin Interlocking
Software has been replaced by Paladin's SmartGov. The County has already declined to pursue
the Eden system, mostly on the basis of cost and concerns about on -going system support. City
staff has similar concerns about Eden's permitting system support.
County and City staff agree that Paladin SmartGov is the most promising system we have
reviewed. The functionality, pricing (based on estimates at this time) and system support appear
to meet the needs of the County and the City. At this time, the benefits of County /City partnering
on permitting software appear to apply to long term operability of the permitting system software
with the County GIS system, and for development of a web portal.
County and City staff have had follow -up demonstrations by Paladin. As a result of the
demonstration the County has started the process for purchasing Paladin SmartGov permit
tracking system. Based on City staff evaluation of the demonstration, we agree that Paladin's
SmartGov meets all of the City's needs as well and would be an appropriate replacement for
PLUS.
System Purchase Information
The one -time purchase of the SmartGov system including the hardware necessary to run the
system is estimated at $146,500. This estimate includes 10% contingency. The attached table
provides system component costs. The annual system license and maintenance fee is estimated at
$19,300 per year. Currently we pay the County $26,900 for use of the PLUS permitting system
thru a CITRIX remote user connection. This amount does not include additional hourly costs for
system adjustments through the County's Information Services Department (ISD)
Based on discussions with Paladin, the software and first year's maintenance fee must be paid
based on milestones identified in the contract as follows:
At contract signing
On system go -live date
Upon completion of work (final acceptance)
An expenditure for a permit system will require a budget amendment to the 2011 budget.
Design, Implementation and Training Costs
The design and implementation phases of the project are expected to last about six to 12 months.
During this phase, it is expect that staff time to work with Paladin will be required as follows:
Database administrator: %2 FTE
Building Official: I /4 FTE
Senior Permit Specialist: I /4 FTE
Other Community Development staff from Development Engineering, Planning, and
Building /Code Compliance divisions will be required to participate in the design phase for
varying lengths of time during business rule development and then in training. If the project is
approved, system roll out would be anticipated for late winter 2011 /early spring 2012 to minimize
impact of staff training on the public, and to coordinate with County implementation schedule.
Benefits
The Paladin system is developed and maintained by a contracted vendor. The benefit of using a
contracted vendor is that their core mission is to help jurisdictions successfully automate permits
and landuse approvals. Developing and maintaining permit software is the only focus of the
vendor while such activity is not the core mission of government agency staff.
The PLUS system is not adaptable to a web application, thus preventing improvements to
customer access to permitting information and unnecessarily limiting transparency in the
permitting process. The Paladin system is web adaptable, easily connected to the web, improving
customer /public access to permitting and landuse information. The Paladin system would also
create the opportunity for partnering on a web portal with Spokane County.
The Paladin system would provide connection with the GIS system allowing staff and customers
to use map applications to access permit system information and vice versa.
In the PLUS system, information search capabilities are extremely limited. In addition, reporting
in the PLUS system has become outdated. Searching is very simple in the Paladin system.
Furthermore, standard and ad hoc reports can be easily developed in the Paladin system allowing
staff to respond promptly and accurately to requests for information from Council and the public.
Connectivity with the existing finance system would be configured in the Paladin system to
provide better accountability than is currently available with the PLUS system.

The Planning Commission recommended denial on March 10, 2011. The City Council agreed to continue
consideration of CPA -02 -11 for a period of thirty (30) days, a part of the 2011 annual Comprehensive Plan
amendment process and proceed with discussing a developer agreement with the proponent, Catholic
Charities.
For the past thirty days, Catholic Charities and the applicant, Ann Martin of Heylman Martin Architects have
been working on behalf of St. John Vianney Catholic Parish with representatives of the neighborhood in
preparing a draft developer agreement representative of the project concept and addressing concerns of the
neighborhood as directed by City Council on April 12, 2011. A neighborhood representative has notified
Catholic Charities, the applicant and City staff they no longer wish to participate in drafting the developer's
agreement. Catholic Charities has expressed its willingness to continue to work with the City and proceed
forward with review and finalization of a developer agreement.
Staff is requesting up to an additional sixty (60) days for review and finalization of a proposed developer
agreement to bring before City Council for a public hearing associated with the proposed Comprehensive Plan
amendment. The requested time frame will allow the applicant and Catholic Charities to continue drafting the
developer agreement. Staff will conduct review and coordinate with the applicant and Catholic Charities to
finalize the agreement. Additionally, the time allocated will allow for scheduling and providing notice for a
public hearing before the City Council on said agreement.
OPTIONS: Proceed with finalizing the developer agreement associated with the Comprehensive Plan
amendment; or consider the Comprehensive Plan amendment as proposed without a developer agreement.
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: None.
BUDGET /FINANCIAL IMPACTS: None.
