GOVERNING LEGISLATION: In order for the City to amend an adopted budget State law requires the Council to approve an ordinance but that this action be preceded by a public hearing. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: The Council last took formal action on the 2011 Budget when it was adopted on October 12, 2010, and an Administrative Report was presented to the Council on October 18, 2011. BACKGROUND: The City's 2011 Budget development process began in the early summer of 2010 and this budget was ultimately adopted via Ordinance #10-022 on October 12, 2010 (12 months ago). At the time the budget was prepared it was done so with the best information we had available at the time but at this point we have the benefit of hindsight. The proposed 2011 Budget amendment reflects those changes that have occurred through the normal course of operations and affects a number of funds. Revenues are amended upward a total of $2,812,681 across 7 funds and expenditures are amended upward $2,901,929 across 9 funds.

RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required at this time. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: In the case of increases in appropriations, there are adequate funds available to pay for these amendments.

CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: October 25, 2011 Department Director Approval: ❑ Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ® new business ® public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Public Hearing and Motion Consideration: 2012 Community Development Block Grant Projects GOVERNING LEGISLATION: Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development (HUD) PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Study session on potential project list conducted on October 18, 2011. BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley is a member of the Spokane County Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) Consortium. Each year the Federal Department of Housing and Urban Development provides about $1.5 million in CDBG entitlement funding to Spokane County. In 2008, Spokane County agreed to amend the CDBG funding policies to establish a 20% set- aside of the County's annual federal appropriation for City of Spokane Valley infrastructure projects. Due to uncertainty in how much the next Federal CDBG allotment will be, the County anticipates that Spokane Valley's 2012 share will be between $225,000 and $310,000 for eligible, high-priority infrastructure projects. Although Spokane Valley has a guaranteed set aside, the City must still participate in the same application process as all other agencies requesting CDBG funding. Applications are due in November. City staff met to identify infrastructure projects that would qualify for CDBG funding and discussed the potential projects with City Council at the October 18, 2011 study session. The following projects have been identified by City staff based an evaluation of CDBG eligible projects. Council should consider ranking the projects in terms of importance. Proposed CDBG Projects: Estimated Costs 1. Sprague Avenue Resurfacing $430,000 (EB lanes, Havana to Fancher) 2. ADA Sidewalk Improvements TBD At the October 18, 2011 study session, Council questioned where the proposed Sprague Avenue project ranked relative to other City streets in terms of pavement condition. One-half of the proposed project area is scheduled for resurfacing in 2012, while the other half of the project is scheduled to be resurfaced in 2014. OPTIONS: Identify other potential projects for consideration. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: 1. Conduct Public Hearing. 2. Move to direct staff to proceed with applications for selected projects with Sprague Avenue resurfacing as the highest priority. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Undermined due to uncertainty in the amount of federal funding distributed to Spokane County.

All councilmembers were present except Councilmember Hafner. It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to excuse Councilmember Hafner from tonight's meeting. 1. Review of Legislative Agenda—Mike Jackson/Briahna Taylor Lobbyist Briahna Taylor of Gordon, Thomas, Honeywell, explained that the purpose of tonight's agenda item is to begin conversation and discussion on revising the Spokane Valley 2012 Legislative Agenda. Ms. Taylor went over the "Legislative Agenda Discussion" items including the process to amend the legislative agenda,what to expect in the 2012 legislative agenda process,discussion on legislative agenda items, and discussion on issues to add to the legislative agenda. She explained that the goal would be to finalize any changes sometime this month. Ms. Taylor said that the state will have $1.4 billion less in expected revenues so cuts will need to be made accordingly, and that the Governor will call a special session and distribute a "roadmap" for generating revenue and/or making additional cuts. There are revenue proposals to fund human services and education and Ms. Taylor said those issues are still being discussed and could come forward in the future; and future discussions would include a tax increase to fund additional bonds for construction projects, which would generate additional jobs, and to clarify, Ms. Taylor said these construction projects include actual brick and mortal projects, sewer projects, renovating schools to make them more efficient,and other construction projects which will generate jobs; and said that will be and is the focus for this budget. Ms.Taylor said transportation revenue proposals are being discussed concerning revenue options and said the possible revenue proposals could go forward on a ballot, all of which will be decided during the special session starting late November; she said the predominant conversations and focus in Olympia will be revenue and budget cuts, adding that it is all very unclear what will happen. Ms. Taylor recommended removing items from the Council's legislative agenda that have been accomplished, such as the food bank sprinkler system and the passage of the port of entry legislation; and said we don't want to forget these successes even though the items are being removed; and she Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 1 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT recommended updating the agenda so items can be added. Ms. Taylor asked for council discussion for any additional items they may want to include and no suggestions were forthcoming. Regarding the law enforcement district legislation, Ms. Taylor explained that the City of Burien was working to pursue forming a law enforcement district; that the idea started out as a "conversation starter" but the City of Burien ultimately decided not to pursue that legislation at this time. Ms. Taylor explained that this is a controversial issue with a tax element, and it would be difficult for this city to take the lead without the assistance of other jurisdictions; or we could leave it on with the expectation of not taking the lead,but if it comes up later, we would be supportive; or take the option of removing it with the understanding it could be added later, and she asked for Council's opinion. It was determined that this item will be removed from the legislative agenda. Mr. Jackson said the plan is to bring a revised legislative agenda to the October 18 meeting, and discuss the agenda further with the idea of having a subsequent council meeting to consider approval of the revised agenda. Regarding SEPA (State Environmental Protection Act) reform, Ms. Taylor explained that she and City Planner Mike Basinger participated in a workshop on what proposals might look like to streamline the SEPA process; that during that workshop, the work group broke into smaller groups and discussed specific issues in more detail; she said she is optimistic about the conversations and said we continue to participate. Several councilmembers noted their preference in keeping this item on the agenda. Concerning the issue of communications interoperability, she said that last year's transportation budget had an appropriation of$40 million to the Washington State Patrol to begin state-wide interoperability; that there is more to be done but the $40 million will get the programs started; that there are two options for this legislative agenda item, one would be to leave it on and amend the language to recognize the appropriation secured last year and indicate ongoing support; or remove it since funding has been appropriated. Ms. Taylor said there are two issues for this topic, one state-wide and one on the local level; and said for the local level, we have raised the revenue and we are interoperable; but additional funding is needed at the state level to make the entire state interoperable and that is what this legislative item addresses; and she explained that this is funded through the transportation budget on a state level. City Manager Jackson asked Ms. Taylor if she might know why this issue isn't included on AWC's (Association of Washington Cities) agenda or what their preference is regarding support; and perhaps if AWC doesn't support this,council should follow suit.Ms. Taylor said this is on AWC's agenda but is not a top priority. Mr. Jackson said staff will contact AWC to determine how they prioritized this item and of their stance on this topic. Ms. Taylor reminded everyone that by the State appropriating$40 million in the last transportation budget, the state has made a decision to support this item. Andy Hale of the Fire Department said that function of state interoperability is very important in order to have all the first- responders speak with each other and other state agencies. Mayor Towey said he feels gathering more information from AWC would be beneficial. Regarding adding items to the legislative agenda, Ms. Taylor explained the idea behind recouping costs for enforcing code compliance; she said the city could pursue legislation making it easier for the City to recover code enforcement costs by pursuing a lien authority that is not subject to the homestead right or by other means. City Attorney Driskell added that when we get a judgment from court,we still try to get the property owner to clean up and if they don't, we get authority from the court to go in and clean it up; but since the city incurred a cost,we get the court to rule those costs into the final judgment;we file that with the Spokane County Auditor's office but that lien generally waits until they transfer the property; and the goal is to have these types of liens be re-classified as a materialmens and mechanics lien, which has a specific process with a short timeline where jurisdictions can have courts enforce that lien through this additional process, and he said this will help us clean up these properties that are such a blight on the community. Attorney Driskell talked about the properties we put judgment liens on in the past and estimated there were in excess of fifty properties, but not all of them would be properties we actually cleaned up; and said there were probably only about five to seven properties where we imposed this full judgment but that is partly because there is less certainty in getting compensated for the cleanup. City Manager Jackson said we hesitate to clean up a property at a $5,000 cost as that's essentially lost money Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 2 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT to the city, but it could come back when and if the property transfers; and said if the court passes judgment and the property owner does not clean up the property, that responsibility rests with the city; therefore, we feel the owner should reimburse the city for that effort, otherwise, they get their property cleaned up for free. Mr. Driskell stressed that this would be used in cases where we actually go onto the property and clean it up pursuant to a court order. Mr. Jackson said we hesitate to spend the money, but at this point, we have spent an estimated $20,000 to $30,000 in property cleanup. Mr. Driskell said as property has transferred, we actually were reimbursed for three or four cleanups. Councilmember Gothmann asked if council wants this included on the legislative agenda and said he feels it would be reasonable to pursue this issue. Mayor Towey and other councilmembers agreed, and Ms. Taylor confirmed that this will be included in the revised agenda to come before council October 18`t'. Streamlined sales tax mitigation payments was discussed next and Ms. Taylor brought council attention to the report from the Joint Legislative Audit and Review Committee, and she discussed the old rule and new rule, as Washington decided to participate in the nation-wide procedure in determining which jurisdictions receive the local sales tax; that the old source was if someone ordered something, the sales tax went to the jurisdiction where the item was purchased; and under the new source,the sales tax goes to where the item is delivered; she explained the state implemented mitigation payments under the new system since several jurisdictions would end up on the losing side of the revenues; so the state determined it would make mitigation payments, and Spokane Valley was one of those cities receiving mitigation payments. According to the "Summary of Mitigation Payments" included by Ms. Taylor, she explained that Spokane Valley ranks #8, so we are one of the highest jurisdictions, and that we receive about $585,000 annually as a result of the agreement reached in 2008 when the state switched to this new type of sales tax source. She explained that this is one of the funds the state is looking at to reduce their $4.1 billion budget; and she said several other jurisdictions on the list are working on a letter to send to the Governor's explaining that the only reason they agreed to this change, was because they would continue to receive these mitigation payments; and that they would oppose any cuts to take away this funding. Ms. Taylor said a number of these jurisdictions reached out to her to ask if Spokane Valley would be agreeable in signing that letter as well. In response to Councilmember Gothmann's question about whether the mitigation payments would cease, Mr. Jackson said he is not aware of any sunset clause in that regard; and jurisdictions expected this to be on-going; and he said these funds are budgeted, and it would have a huge financial impact on our city if the payments were to cease, and he encouraged council to sign a letter,and said that a letter can be brought back for council's review and eventual signature.Ms. Taylor said that this streamlined sales tax revenue is one pot of money the city receives from the state, and that there are other pots of money where the city receives state revenues including liquor profits and liquor taxes; and said at the last legislation session all those revenues were cut 3.4%; and she recommended adding an item to the legislative agenda that expresses the City's desire to protect the state shared revenues the city receives; one of which includes the streamlined sales tax mitigation; and she suggested including all those funds, such as the liquor profits, liquor taxes, and others. Mayor Towey agreed, and Mr. Jackson said the total state shared revenues budgeted for 2011, adding that we typically budget low and receive more, was $1.7 million, which is a significant amount of money. There were no objections to participating in the letter and adding this as a legislative agenda item. Mr. Jackson said staff will research what state shared revenues the city does not receive,and come back with that information. Discussed next was the Association of Washington Cities preliminary top priorities, and Ms. Taylor indicated that Spokane Valley's legislative agenda includes supporting the Association of Washington Cities' legislative agenda items that serve the best interests of the City of Spokane Valley. Ms. Taylor said AWC is currently discussing their fmal legislative agenda,but they have identified their top priorities as noted in the handout; and said AWC will be grouping these priorities into different subject areas.As an example, Ms. Taylor explained that the top priority of "tax increment financing/local revitalization financing"would be moved into a larger priority of supporting economic development tools,with various tools listed;and said they are still working on the priorities. Regarding Capital projects Ms. Taylor said if they will be funded, it would be linked to a revenue proposal to general construction projects; and Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 3 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT regarding the land acquisition project we currently have on our agenda to acquire park land adjacent to Park Road Pool,that since the state is looking at projects that will generate jobs, land acquisition doesn't fit; and she recommended keeping it on the agenda,but not to expect any funding at this time since it does not meet the state's criteria. Several councilmembers voiced their preference in keeping the agenda item on for future consideration. Mayor Towey said in speaking with several legislators, it appears the tourism funds were cut in Washington while Oregon and Canada's tourism funding was increased; and he asked Ms. Taylor about pursuing that. Ms. Taylor said she did not have any specific information, but could research the issue, adding that if the funding has already been cut, the likelihood of the legislators increasing funding for this without a revenue package, especially while they are making additional cuts elsewhere, is unlikely; and said she feels it would not be worthwhile to ask for programs to be re-funded as cuts are being made elsewhere. Mayor Towey and several other councilmembers said they would appreciate more information on this issue. Councilmember Grassel added that by not funding this one department,jobs will be at risk, and said she thought that tourism was the fourth largest "employer" for the state. Ms. Taylor asked if Council had anything else to add or any research requests. Mr. Jackson asked and council confirmed,to keep the Park Road Pool item on the agenda. 2. Shoreline Matters—Cary Driskell,Ken Harper City Attorney Driskell said that council had asked to have an outside attorney with expertise on shoreline issues,come discuss the issues and intricacies of that legislation,and Mr. Driskell introduced Ken Harper, Attorney with Menke, Jackson, Beyer, Ehlis and Harper in Yakima. Mr. Driskell said that Mr. Harper represents the City in several litigation matters and has extensive background in advising and defending local jurisdictions on shoreline issues. Mr. Driskell also mentioned that the open house scheduled for November will be postponed as a result of internal discussion with the Community Development Department and their desire to wait until council has more opportunity to review and discuss these issues; to get the draft goals and policies before the Planning Commission, and then talk with council about scheduling preferences. In response to Councilmember Gothmann's question about where we are in the process currently, Mr. Driskell said this has not yet been before the Planning Commission; and Mr. Jackson added that we were going to have a joint session with the Planning Commission but that was also postponed until council is prepared to move forward. Attorney Harper gave a little background on himself and said that three points he wanted to make in reference to his background are that council has a sense of how he looks at issues, to talk about how Spokane Valley got where it is in this process, and then about where Spokane Valley is in the process. After giving his background on his land use work, he said he sees these matters as a pragmatist, and not an idealist or policymaker; that when he is looking at shorelines permitting or planning, his main consideration is to find the main channel and to avoid exposing his clients to unintended risk; that his job is to provide frank and candid legal analysis of the pros and cons so his clients don't find themselves in expensive legal disputes. Mr. Harper said that shoreline planning is a controversial topic, and in order to have effective communication about the process,he gave a brief history of what has occurred over the last ten to fifteen years concerning the SMA (Shoreline Management Act), which act, he explained is about forty years old. He spoke of controversy over changing guidelines as a result of a series of Growth Management Hearings and Pollution Control Board cases;and that settlement agreements were signed off by various groups; and of the Department of Ecology adopting a series of guidelines for shoreline management; and said he wanted to just touch on a few points of the SMA, and mentioned the state statutes as well as WAC (Washington Administrative Code) 173.26, which he said was a result of buy-in by a wide spectrum of stakeholders, among others. Mr. Harper explained some of the aspects of the guidelines, which serve to clarify the statutes, and said the litmus test is "no net loss for shoreline ecological function." Further, he stated that GMA (Growth Management Act) speaks in terms of protecting critical areas, but that there is a lot of litigation over the definition of "protect." He said stakeholder groups wanted to have a clearer standard for SMA purposes other than "protection of critical areas" as stated in the GMA context, so they came up with the "no net loss of shoreline ecological functions" and said much of what is left after that is up to local discretion. He said how the baseline Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 4 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT matters for lakes or rivers will vary, but the "no net loss" is the common touchstone. Mr. Harper said as per the guidelines, the first principle of implementing a SMA update is to do the inventory and characterization. Regarding including the gravel pits,Mr. Harper said the SMA applies to surface waters of greater than twenty acres. Mr. Harper said we are now in the process of understanding what this inventory means and of the cumulative effect of the goals and policies; and said it will be very important for Spokane Valley to maintain public input opportunities for those goals and policies; that once the inventory is complete, the next step is to define how to implement that key standard of"no net loss of functions" keeping in mind property rights; and again mentioned that the best way to form meaningful guidelines and policies is via the public outreach process to include meaningful stakeholder groups and to accept meaningful comments; and added he realizes the input is underway, and eventually the output of all this will be regulations that will have to be proposed to the Department of Ecology for approval. In response to Councilmember Grassel's question about which guidelines are flexible and which are mandated, Mr. Harper said mandated is no net loss; but they establish preference for certain activities which are stated in the state statutes and expanded in the guidelines; and said once council gets input from the stakeholders, council will be more able and ready to make decisions;that the policies are designed to achieve the no net loss; and regarding specific terminology,he said the word"guarantee" is an effort but"ensure"would be equally valid, and the point is not so much if the word ensure or guarantee is a right or wrong term, but how those phrases are implemented. Mayor Towey called for a brief recess at 7:57 p.m. and reconvened at approximately 8:10 p.m. 3. Sullivan Bridge Tiger Grant Application-Steve Worley Senior Engineer Worley explained that we have an opportunity to apply for some grant money for the Sullivan Bridge through the Federal Discretionary TIGER grant program; that this is a two-step process and as of yesterday, staff submitted the necessary pre-application in anticipation that we may want to move ahead; he said we do not know if we passed the pre-application process, or even when we might find out if we passed the process;but if we do pass,the final application is due October 31,which he said is a very short timeline. Mr. Worley said if council desires staff to move forward,we would need to hire a consultant to help prepare for the final application;he said there is approximately$527 million available nationwide after a previous allocation of$2.1 billion nationwide; and said the minimum project award for urban governments is $10 million with a minimum 20% non-federal match. Mr. Worley said that staff previously identified CH2M Hill as the design consultant for the new bridge, and that they agreed to assist us in moving forward with the final grant application if that is the direction council desires; and he brought Council's attention to funding scenarios on the reverse of the Request for Council Action form; and said staff would coordinate with the Finance Department to identify funds to provide the needed match. Finance Director Calhoun added that there is some funding in one of the street arterial funds which could be used to pay for this if we decided to move forward. Mr. Worley asked if council would like to consider stating a consensus on whether to pursue this grant opportunity. Discussion included concern about the timeline, especially in that prospective projects must be ready to obligate construction funds by June 30, 2013; and Mr. Worley said they interviewed three consultants and asked them about getting the environmental and design process by June 2013 in order to obligate construction funds, and he said they all agreed the timeline could be met; and said if we move forward, everyone will work to get through the environmental process quickly to meet the deadline; and that if we don't get the grant,we would be out $40,000; and without the grant,we would have to find the money to replace the $10 million. Mr.Worley said that WSDOT(Washington State Department of Transportation) does not consider economic impacts as emergencies; that WSDOT is planning three projects to submit under this program, there are fifteen projects from the State of Washington to apply for these funds with only $500 million; and said we do not know how we compare until we get through the pre-application Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 5 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT process. Weighing the cost of the consultant with the possible loss of$10 million; there was Council consensus for staff to move forward. 4. Proposed Municipal Code Amendments—John Hohman Community Development Director Hohman brought council's attention to the September 28, 2011 interoffice memorandum from Planning Manager Kuhta,which lists current amendments and dates for the Planning Commission's consideration, as well as proposed amendments that staff would like to bring forward; and explained that items 1, 2, and 3 are already on the Planning Commission or Council agenda for review or public hearing; while items 4 through 8 are proposed future amendments; and Mr. Hohman briefly described those eight items. Director Hohman said he wants to focus on number 4 "Building Code Chapter 24.40, and on number 5 Boundary Line Adjustments; he said#4 is a general cleanup of Chapter 24.40 which deals with building permits, and said they want to provide flexibility for staff and the development community to have our codes as workable as possible, and that some amendments in that chapter will help provide that flexibility to applicants. Regarding #5, Mr. Hohman said currently requiring a survey for every boundary line adjustment adds cost and delay, and staff is working on providing some flexibility and changing the language in certain circumstances, from "shall" to "may." Mr. Hohman said item 6, Code Compliance amendments will come to council October 18 as part of a broader report on code enforcement activities, #7 will provide some protections to drinking water wells, #8 includes several batch amendments to correct errors in the code and correct items that have changed, making sure references are appropriate, and an additional #9 will include examining the temporary use permits, especially concerning seasonal sales in commercial areas; and he explained that there are some fruit and vegetable retailers that are tied into a six month period,and that it doesn't make sense to hold to a six-month period but could move to a seven or eight-month period to allow more flexibility. Mr. Hohman added that the desire is also to clean up some language which refers to out-dated building codes. Building Official McGee went over some of the actual proposed language changes, noting other changes are consolidating administrative provisions under one section, or cleanup of citations; and she explained that the three yellow highlighted areas of the Chapter 24.40 which she distributed, are the significant language changes; and she discussed some of the proposed changes such as the time limit of applications and permits, and that if an application is submitted during one state building code cycle, the applicant would have the benefit of a full code cycle after that,or six years, and once the project is started, it would be good for two years; adding that most places only permit 180 days with discretionary extensions. Director Hohman noted that staff is working to permit a development by phases instead of by an entire project. Building Official McGee also noted the section on page 3 of 8,#4: "design professional require," and said the idea is to provide some guidance so everyone knows what they can do without using a design professional. Mr. Hohman said concerning title 24 specific to building permits, that that is not land use regulations so staff can come directly back to council and move it through the normal process;but that the other amendments will go before the Planning Commission, then on to Council. It was determined staff will bring this issue back for an administrative report prior to moving on for a first reading of an ordinance. At approximately 8:55 p.m., it was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded and unanimously agreed to extend the meeting forty-five minutes. 5. Lodging Tax Funding Award Process—Mark Calhoun Finance Director Calhoun explained the process and timeline for the 2012 lodging tax funding allocations. 6.Advance Agenda—Mayor Towey City Manager Jackson mentioned the added items to the October 18 agenda, and noted that Interim Deputy City Manager Crum will be back October 12 and shortly thereafter will report on the railroad quiet zone issue. Council Study Session Minutes October 4,2011 Page 6 of 7 Approved by Council: DRAFT 7. Spokane Valley Proposition 1,Ballot Language This was for information only and was not reported or discussed. 8. Council Check-in Councilmember Grassel said she is not clear on the process for the Shoreline Master Plan and feels they are at a standstill; she said it is difficult to go through the paperwork and completely understand all the impacts of those goals and policies and therefore, she proposed to retain a specialist in shoreline masterplans who has dealt with municipalities and the Department of Ecology; adding that she is not comfortable in the wording on some of the goals and policies. Councilmember Woodard agreed council needs someone who can advise on our city's unique situation; and Councilmember Grafos agreed and asked staff to bring forward some names of experts who could advise council in the process. Councilmember Gothmann agreed since the issue is now in the hands of the Planning Commission,that it would be premature to try to outguess what the Planning Commission would do; and Mayor Towey agreed and asked at what point in the process do we solicit that expertise. City Manager Jackson said staff will discuss how best to approach this or have some outside counsel advise Council; and he mentioned putting together a statement of qualifications of what criteria council seeks. Councilmember Grassel suggested perhaps Council and the Planning Commission meet jointly to go through the working draft line by line to make sure the wording is correct so everyone knows what is mandatory and what is suggestive. 9. City Manager Comments—Mike Jackson Mr.Jackson had no comments. 10. Executive Session: Pending/Potential Litigation [RCW 42.30.110(1)(i) It was moved by Deputy Mayor Schimmels, seconded, and unanimously agreed to adjourn into executive session for approximately thirty minutes to discuss pending or potential litigation, and that no action will be taken upon return to open session. Council adjourned into executive session at 9:14 p.m. At 9:54 p.m., Mayor Towey declared council out of executive session. It was then moved by Councilmember Gothmann, seconded and unanimously agreed to adjourn.

BACKGROUND: The City of Spokane Valley applied for a competitive grant from the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grants (EECBG) program and was awarded funds to develop the BPMP. The BPMP is proposed to be an element of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan expanding on the Transportation Element to focus on non-motorized transportation. If the BPMP is adopted, it is required by the Growth Management Act (GMA) to be consistent with the Comprehensive Plan. The BPMP includes background data concerning bike and pedestrian facilities (Section 11.1), applicable federal, state and local codes relating to the topic (section 11.2), and a set of goals and objectives (section 11.3). Section 11.4, contains city-wide bike and pedestrian facility improvements, potential education, enforcement and evaluation tools. As a policy document, this chapter can guide decisions regarding multi-modal transportation facilities. As an implementation tool, it can detail priorities and standards for development. On August 30, 2011, staff provided a detailed overview of the BPMP and an opportunity for open discussion on any changes Council would like to see. Staff and Council worked through the program identifying specific changes. Council directed staff to work through the remainder of the document based on the established guidance and to bring back the document in strike through format for further consideration. On September 20, 2011, Council worked through the requested strike through document identifying further changes to bring back for first ordinance reading. On October 11, 2011, Council deliberated on the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program (BPMP) and advanced Ordinance 11-014 to a second reading. NOTICE: Notice for the proposed BPMP was placed in the Spokane Valley News Herald on June 17, 2011. SEPA REVIEW: Pursuant to the State Environmental Policy Act (SEPA — RCW 43.21C) an Environmental Checklist was required for the BPMP. Under SEPA, the BPMP is considered a "non-project action" defined as actions involving decisions on policies, plans, or programs that contain standards controlling use or modification of the environment. Additional environmental review may be required for the physical development of the bike and pedestrian facilities. 1of2 Staff reviewed the environmental checklist and a threshold determination was made for the BPMP. A Determination of Non-significance (DNS) was issued for the BPMP on June 17, 2011 consistent with the City of Spokane Valley Environmental Ordinance. OPTIONS: Adopt ordinance 11-014 or take other action deemed appropriate. RECOMMENDED MOTION: Move to approve ordinance 11-014 amending the Comprehensive Plan by adopting the Spokane Valley Bike and Pedestrian Master Program (BPMP).

Bicycling in urban areas has grown dramatically in the last decade due to factors such as healthier lifestyles, rising fuel costs and a desire to lessen impacts on the environment. By creating safe places to ride, the development of new facility types such as bike lanes, bicycle friendly routes, and shared use paths have enabled more people to use bike transportation. In addition, as the importance of a healthy lifestyle has grown, the desire to incorporate exercise through walking has also grown. As a basic form of mobility, virtually all trips—regardless of mode—start and end with walking. The City of Spokane Valley has the essential elements to create a great place to bike and walk. Most streets connect, congestion is minimal, the terrain is flat, and weather is suitable many months of the year. For these reasons, biking and walking is a great way to get around the City. Where there are close links between home and destinations (such as school, work, and shops) walking and cycling can be the preferred and efficient way to move from place to place. Promoting walking and bicycling can help ease congestion, address weight and health issues and enhance the livability and economic vitality of our community. They help promote interaction between neighbors, strengthen connection to the community, provide `eyes-on-the-street' security, and support local retail activity. By comparison, streets and places where people are not present often feel uncomfortable and barren. Cities around the nation with the most positive economic growth and solid resources from tourism, general retail and other sources are places where people can come and feel comfortable. 11.0.2 Overview As an element of the City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan, this chapter is organized to present background data concerning bike and pedestrian facilities (Section 11.1), applicable federal, state and local codes relating to the topic (section 11.2), and a set of goals and objectives (section 11.3). Section 11.4, contains city-wide bike and pedestrian facility improvements, potential education, enforcement and evaluation tools. As a policy document, this chapter will guide decisions regarding multi-modal transportation facilities. As an implementation tool, it will detail priorities and standards for development. 11.0.3 Vision Statements To increase opportunities for non-motorized transportation that improve the connectivity, safety, convenience and attractiveness of the pedestrian and bicycle network in the City of Spokane Valley. To identify and prioritize facility recommendations based on thorough data collection and analysis, community visioning, regional collaboration, engineering assessment and preliminary cost estimates. 11.0.4 Process Several steps were involved in creating the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program. a. Data Collection A comprehensive field inventory of existing bicycle and pedestrian facilities was conducted, identifying constraints and opportunities for improvements. The City coordinated with adjacent jurisdictions as well as bike, pedestrian and health advocates, property owners and other stakeholders. This step incorporated a thorough review of the existing adopted Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, including a review of the bike facility map, goals and Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 – Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 1 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan policies related to bike and walking activity, as well as a review of recently approved similar plans in the region. Accident data and funding sources for potential future projects were also gathered. A sidewalk inventory completed by students at Washington State University (WSU)was added to the City's GIS system. b. Public Outreach This Bike and Pedestrian Master Program (BPMP) was created over a year and a half period with participation from a diverse group of citizens, residents and interested parties. A contact database was created to ensure interested parties were notified throughout the development of the plan. Over 900 contacts were included within five months of initiation. The first in a series of BPMP workshops was held on June 16, 2010. A diverse group voiced opinions and concerns on bicycling and walking in the City. Through an interactive exercise, the participants identified destinations, obstacles, and preferred routes for bike and pedestrian facilities. An on-line survey was made available through the City's web page. Over 350 responses were received from the online survey, indicating a significant level of interest. The short, non-statistical survey gathered additional insight into the biking and walking experience in Spokane Valley and into desired routes and destinations. c. Connectivity Assessment and Route Recommendations From the gathered data, a preliminary connection assessment and potential route recommendations were developed. Details of existing rights-of-way, pavement width, driveway approaches and traffic counts were gathered. d. Continued Public Outreach A second community workshop was held on September 19, 2010 to present preliminary bike and pedestrian routes and connections based on the information gathered at the first workshop and through the on-line survey. The Spokane Regional Health District presented information on health impacts associated with alternative modes of transportation. By prioritizing potential projects, participants helped create a vision of a comprehensive bike and pedestrian network. The workshops were publicized online, at schools, bike shops and community facilities throughout the City. In addition, staff prepared newsletters and maintained a BPMP page on the City of Spokane Valley website. Quarterly updates were presented to the City Council as part of the Energy Efficiency and Conservation Block Grant (EECBG) status reports. e. Safety Analysis and Prioritization of Improvements A portion of money from the City's EECBG funded an engineering consultant to review the proposed routes for safety, cost and prioritizations. This engineering assessment provides technical guidance to help ensure that proposed bike and pedestrian facilities, such as bike lanes on arterials or shared use paths in neighborhoods, are safe, functional, and appropriate for the set route. f. Plan Refinement, Review and Adoption Desired routes were refined based on technical input from the consultant. Classifications for both bicycle and pedestrian facilities were reviewed based on the American Association of State Highway Transportation Officials (AASHTO) guidelines and industry standards. Comprehensive Plan text, maps and exhibits were prepared. Priorities and preliminary implementation schedules were included. Additional workshops were held to gather input on the draft BPMP document. Finally, the BPMP was presented to both the Planning Commission and the City Council. 11.0.5 Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Technical Advisory Group Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 2 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Developing the BPMP resulted in partnerships and collaboration between the City, adjoining jurisdictions and many other interested agencies and individuals. Representatives from many of these groups served on the Bike and Pedestrian Technical Advisory Group (BPTAG). The BPTAG met several times to review and make recommendations on potential routes, facilities and implementation strategies. 11.0.6 Partnerships Preparation of the BPMP has involved a wide range of people and agencies. Partnerships and collaboration contributes to the quality and integrity of the program. Maintaining these partnerships will contribute toward successful implementation and realization of shared goals. a. Spokane Regional Health District The Spokane Regional Health District (SRHD) serves as the area's public health leader and partner in protecting and improving the health of the community. The Health District's Physical Activity program works with community coalitions, elected officials, citizen groups and other organizations to encourage policies that make it easier for people to be physically active. An analysis of existing social, economic and health statistics of the residents of the City of Spokane Valley was prepared by the SRHD epidemiologist. The role of SRHD was to bring awareness of the positive health impact bicycle and pedestrian infrastructure can have on a community. b. School Districts and Safe Routes to School Safe Routes to School is a national program aimed at enabling community leaders, schools and parents across the country to improve safety and encourage more children to be active by safely walking and bicycling to school. In the process, work associated with Safe Routes to School contributes to reducing traffic congestion, improving physical health, and making communities more livable overall. The SRHD along with the City, Bicycle Alliance of Washington, Central Valley School District, East Valley School District, and West Valley School District worked diligently through the 2010/2011 school year to prepare walking audits of all elementary and middle schools. Walking audits are detailed surveys of streets and sidewalks within a one-mile radius surrounding a school using the Safe Walk and Bike Routes: A Guide for Planning and Improving Walk and Bike to School Options for Students (site: WSDOT and WTSC 2010). Results of the audits are used to prepare preferred walking routes for students and to identify and prioritize street and sidewalk safety projects. Continued coordinated efforts between school districts, SRHD and the City will aid in the successful implementation of safe routes for pedestrians of all ages. c. Spokane Transit Authority The Spokane Transit Authority (STA) is a regional public transportation agency providing a variety of transportation options, including bus service to the City of Spokane Valley. The transit system effectively expands the area that pedestrians are able to access for daily services and activities. STA's database of pedestrian paths throughout its service area was used as base data for the City's sidewalk inventory, gap analysis and recommended pedestrian network. The data identified barriers to people using the sidewalk network to access the bus system. d. Bicycle Alliance of Washington The Bicycle Alliance of Washington is a non-profit organization advocating for bicyclists and bike-friendly communities throughout Washington. The Alliance works toward increasing the percentage of all types of bicycle riders and increasing funding available for inclusive, non-motorized transportation facilities. The Alliance works closely with Safe Routes to School programs and serves as a clearinghouse for bicycle education and advocacy. e. Washington State University Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 3 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan In 2007, Washington State University Interdisciplinary Design Institute (WSU) created a pedestrian model by mapping pedestrian networks throughout Spokane Transit Authority's service area, identifying barriers such as the absence of sidewalks and curb ramps, and non-ADA compliant variations in the surface condition, height, width, and slope of pedestrian facilities. The data has been used to identify existing routes and to determine sidewalk infill priorities. By partnering with the City, data developed through the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program will be used to update the WSU pedestrian network model. In turn, the model will be useful in prioritizing pedestrian improvements in an effort to increase safety throughout the City. f. Spokane Regional Transportation Council The Spokane Regional Transportation Council (SRTC) is the local metropolitan planning organization encouraging coordination and collaboration between planning and transportation departments throughout the region. SRTC maintains the Transportation Improvement Program, a three-year list of state and federally-funded transportation projects, and the Metropolitan Transportation Plan in Spokane County, a document addressing transportation needs for the next 20 years. SRTC recognizes that walking and bicycling are simple and efficient modes of travel that can increase public transit ridership. Coordination between the City and SRTC will create opportunities to implement effective non-motorized projects and programs. 11.1 Planning Context The Bike and Pedestrian Element of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan expands on the Transportation Element to focus on non-motorized transportation. Also referred to as the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program, this element is consistent with the overall Comprehensive Plan, specifically the Land Use, Transportation, Parks and Recreation and Neighborhood Elements. 11.1.1 GMA The Washington Growth Management Act (GMA), the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) and the Washington Administrative Code (WAC) provide for the inclusion of non-motorized transportation elements in comprehensive plans. Bike and pedestrian planning is sometimes included in the land use, transportation or recreation elements. Using a separate element to address opportunities and constraints specific to these non-motorized forms of transportation allows the City of Spokane Valley to focus on improvements that enhance the livability and economic vitality of our community. 11.1.2 County-Wide Planning Policies County Wide Planning Policies (CWPP) provide a policy framework for the County and its respective cities. Specifically items 10 and 16 under Policy Topic 5—Transportation, state: 10. Each jurisdiction should coordinate its housing and transportation strategies to support existing, or develop new, public multimodal transportation systems. 16. Each jurisdiction shall address energy consumption/conservation by: a. Designing transportation improvements for alternatives to the single-occupant vehicle; b. Locating and adopting design standards for new development to support pedestrian or non-motorized travel; c. Providing regulatory and financial incentives to promote efforts of the public and private sector to conserve energy; and d. Reducing the number of vehicle miles traveled and number of vehicle trips. As described in Section 11.0.6 above, the SRTC is the Metropolitan Planning Organization for the Spokane region. SRTC maintains the Metropolitan Transportation Plan (MTP), a 20-year strategy to meet the transportation needs of the region. MTP goals related to non-motorized transportation include: Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 4 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Establishing a bicycle and pedestrian program that will increase the mode-share of people walking and bicycling as a means of transportation over the next 20 years; • Eliminating barriers that discourage or prohibit pedestrian or bicycle access; • Identifying the needs and gaps in the regional bicycle and pedestrian system; and • Encouraging connections between residential areas and adjacent land uses to enhance awareness and cooperation between all roadway users. The MTP facilitated the creation of three complementary products: the Spokane Regional Bike Plan (adopted in 2008); the Spokane Regional Pedestrian Plan (adopted in 2009) and the SmartRoutes program. All of these were collaborative efforts with SRTC, the Spokane Regional Health District, the Active Transportation Technical Committee (including representatives from the City of Spokane Valley and other cities and towns) and a citizen-based steering committee. Each of these documents encourages jurisdictions to tailor the regional plans to their own needs and to use them for guidance to develop appropriate bicycle and pedestrian protects that traverse jurisdictional lines. 11.2 Existing Setting 11.2.1 Comprehensive Plan The City of Spokane Valley's Comprehensive Plan includes goals and policies to guide development within the City. All elements within the Comprehensive Plan must be internally consistent. Goals found within other elements encourage the development and implementation of a bike and pedestrian system within the City. The following are from the Land Use, Transportation, Natural Environment and the Parks and Recreation elements: Land Use - Goal LUG-7 Provide a balanced transportation network that accommodates public transportation, high occupancy vehicles, pedestrians, bicyclists, automobiles and integrated parking. Transportation -Goal TG-9 Enhance community livability and transportation by encouraging a connected system of pedestrian and bicycle ways that is integrated into a coordinated regional network. Natural Environment- Goal NEG-20 Support regional efforts to improve air quali Parks and Recreation -Goal PRG-4 Based upon budgetary resources, promote, develop, operate and maintain a comprehensive trail/bicycle system within Spokane Valley that provides non-motorized travel (walking, bicycling, skating, and horseback riding)to meet city residents recreation, fitness and commuting needs. 11.2.2 Current Activity a. Collision Dat. The Washington State Department of Transportation maintains records of pedestrian and bicycle collision data. Between 2003 (incorporation) and 2010, there were six fatalities and 295 serious or disabling injuries in Spokane Valley associated with pedestrian and bicycle collisions. On average, there are 41 pedestrian and bicycle collisions per year. The majority of the collisions occurred on major arterials including Argonne, Pines and Sullivan Roads. It is estimated that many bicycle and pedestrian collisions have happened but have not been reported. b. Citizen Input Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 5of18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan To ensure the bike and pedestrian system reflects the community's desires, an extensive outreach component was built into the process. As described in the previous section, this process included workshops and an on-line survey. The results showed that a majority of respondents walk or bicycle for exercise/health, enjoyment, or to commute to work/school. When asked what prevents a person from biking or walking, an overwhelming 70% of the respondents said it was due to the lack of facilities. The results showed the community's desire to see improved bike and pedestrian facilities in or around the following six routes: 1. Sprague Avenue 2. Pines Road 3. 32nd Ave/Dishman Mica 4. Argonne/Mullan corridor 5. Valleyway Avenue (as a bicycle friendly ro' 6. Sullivan Road Many mentioned the need for more north/south connectio,7s to the Centennial Trail. The preferred facilities were bike lanes and shared use paths. The graphs below illustrate the respondent's views. '11, o you bike or walk?

Health Data As part of t !e initia community workshops, the SRHD prepared information correlating active lifestyles, including bicycle and pedestrian commutes, to improved health. Sedentary lifestyles can contribute to obesity. Obesity can be defined as a person with a body mass index of 30 or greater. Obesity can contribute to illnesses including heart disease and strokes, high blood pressure, osteoarthritis, diabetes and some forms of cancer. Lack of physical activity increases health risks, resulting in increased costs for medical care, worker compensation and lost productivity. Obesity and lack of activity contribute to hronic diseases including cancer, heart and respiratory disease. The top five causes of death in Spokane Valley are shown below: Literature reviews have shown that urban design and land use policies creating opportunities for physical activity within communities have been effective and are considered best practices for increasing a community's health and reducing obesity. More than half of Spokane County's carbon monoxide emissions are from vehicle sources. Reducing vehicle trips by accommodating and encouraging active transportation can positively impacts health by improving air quality. SRHD also considers socio-economic factors as they relate to health. A link exists between education, poverty, and mobility choices. In Spokane Valley, between 2004 and 2008, 37.4 percent of the population had less than a high school diploma or GED. The amount of education a person achieves influences their ability to earn a certain standard of living. Between 2004 and 2008, 43.9 percent of the City's population was at or below the 200 percent federal poverty level. That is more than twice the national average. A substantial percentage of the population either cannot afford automobile transportation, or affording it is a financial hardship. For these people, in addition to the young in age and the Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 9 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan older population, getting around by other alternatives such as walking, bicycling or transit is a necessity. 11.2.3 Existing Bicycle System Though developed as a compilation of rural townships over time, the City of Spokane Valley has a strong grid pattern of streets. The placement of principal and minor arterials, collectors and local access streets overlaid on the relatively flat topography provides an excellent base for non- motorized transportation. a. Types of Bicycle Users There are many types of bicyclists with varying skills and levels of comfort in terms of riding in traffic. While bicyclists can be loosely categorized as experienced adult, casual adult and child cyclists, there are many levels of cycling competency and just as many opinions as to what makes an ideal bike route. Some experienced cyclists ride on busy arterial streets regardless of bicycle facilities. Some cyclists will ride on busy roads only if bike lanes are provided. Some will use the lanes only if parallel residential roads are unavailable. b. Existing Bicycle Facilities A combination of striped bike lanes, posted bicycle friendly routes and separated bike facilities are found throughout the City. In addition, other streets act as informal routes, favored by bicycle commuters as safe and convenient alternatives to bike ways with heavy automobile traffic. The following different types of bicycle facilities, as defined by the American Association of State and Highway Trans o Cation Officials (AASHTO) are found throughout Spokane Valley: i. Shared Use Path: Facilities on separated right-of-way and with minimal cross flow by motor vehicles. Minimum width is six feet; optimal width is ten feet. Shared use paths may also be used by pedestrians, skaters, wheelchair users, joggers and other non- motorized users. • The Centennial Trail is an example of a shared use path in the City. With connections through adjacent jurisdictions, it is an important regional recreational and commuting facility. Other shared use paths exist along the south side of Appleway Avenue from Sprague Avenue to the eastern City boundary and on Sullivan Road, from Centennial Trail to just south of Trent Road. ii. Bike Lanes: A portion of a roadway designated by striping, signing and pavement markings for the preferential or exclusive use by bicyclists. The required width of a bike lane on a given street varies based on several factors, such as existence of a gutter and curb. Parking and traffic volume must be considered as well. AASHTO and SRTC (Spokane Regional Transportation Council) guidelines recommend that for a street without gutter or curb, the minimum width of the bike lane should be four feet. If the street includes curb and gutter, the minimum width should be five feet. In situations where parking is permitted without any striping or stalls, AASHTO guidelines recommend an 11-foot bike lane width. Bicycle lanes improve conditions for cyclists of all abilities within a given corridor and encourage increased bicycle use by providing a greater degree of comfort and perceived safety for less skilled cyclists. • Striped bicycle lanes are located along several arterials, including 32nd Avenue, portions of Broadway, Evergreen Road, Mission Road, Sprague Avenue and 16th Avenue. Mirabeau Parkway from Pines Road to Indiana Avenue and Indiana Avenue from Mirabeau to Evergreen Road are also improved with bike lanes. iii. Signed Shared Roadway: Signed lane allowing both vehicular and bicycle traffic. Minimum width is 14 feet. Signed shared roadways indicate to cyclists that there are particular advantages to using these routes compared to alternate routes. Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 10 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • In the City of Spokane Valley, signed shared roadways exist on 4th Avenue from University to Conklin, and on Trent from Flora to the eastern city boundary. iv. Shared Roadway: Lane allowing both vehicular and bicycle traffic. No signing is involved. • All public streets in the City of Spokane Valley can be defined as shared roadways. Existing bike facilities in the City of Spokane Valley are shown in Map 11.1. Other bicycle facilities found throughout the City include bicycle parking facilities at some commercial, public and office facilities and bicycle racks on transit vehicles. c. System Deficiencies Barriers surrounding both recreation and commuting bicycle activity throughout the City include crossing Interstate 90, railroad tracks, and the Spokane River. Currently, principal arterials cross these barriers. However, the limited space for bike facilities on these arterials plus the traffic volume hinders the safety and comfort for many riders. This impacts those trying to access commercial and employment centers in the north part of the City as well as those trying to access the Centennial Trail. Other factors impacting bicycle activity include impaired sight distances, limited street connectivity, cyclist and motorist behaviors, lack of way-finding signs, and maintenance issues. 11.2.4 Existing Pedestrian System a. Types of Pedestrians For trips of a certain length, walking is a simple affordable way to get around. Spokane Valley, with relatively flat terrain and a predominately grid street pattern, has great opportunities for pedestrians of all kinds. People choose to walk for many reasons including recreation and necessity. Pedestrians include adults, children, seniors, people without cars and people with disabilities. Those with higher levels of transportation choice, i.e. those specifically able to afford cars and of driving age, make use of autos for most trips. This situation is not so much a reflection of popular transportation preferences but of the many auto-dominated land use and transportation decisions that created present day Spokane Valley. Citizens, including those driving cars as well as seniors, youth and people with disabilities, need safety, connectivity and accessibility. b. Existing Pedestrian Facilities Sidewalk inventories were performed by City staff as part of the analyses conducted for the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program and the American with Disabilities Act transition plan. Also, in association with the Safe Routes to School program, volunteers from all elementary and middle schools in the City conducted walking audits to determine potential routes to their schools and to identify missing sidewalk segments, potential pedestrian conflicts and existing safe haven areas for students. The existing pedestrian system in Spokane Valley includes sidewalks, shared use paths, wide shoulders on rural roads and residential streets. Generally, sidewalks exist on most of the existing arterials and range in width from three to six feet. In addition, most streets surrounding elementary, middle and high school facilities are improved with sidewalks. Several shared-use paths, intended for all types of non-motorized transportation, are located throughout the City (see section on existing bicycle facilities above). Map 11.3 shows locations of existing sidewalk facilities. Other infrastructure associated with pedestrian activity includes curb ramps, intersection markings, cross walks with and without associated signals, benches and shelters for transit facilities, and street trees. c. System Deficiencies: Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 11 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan For the most part, sidewalks on arterials are constructed adjacent to the curb and lanes where cars are traveling in excess of 30 and 40 miles per hour, impacting pedestrian comfort and safety. In addition, while current development standards require separated sidewalks, there are portions where sidewalks were not built with initial street construction. Other factors making walking difficult include crosswalk issues on high-volume streets, obstructions such as power poles and utility boxes in the sidewalk, outdated or non-existent curb ramps, poor lighting, limited facilities at transit stops, and maintenance issues. 11.3 Goals and Policies Spokane Valley is intended to become a bicycle and pedestrian friendly City, where bicycling and walking are encouraged and promoted as safe and convenient forms of transportation and recreation. Goals help guide actions towards fulfilling this vision. Policies are more specific statements relating to implementing measures that will achieve the goals. As with many cities, Spokane Valley has limited funds with which to pursue its bike and pedestrian goals. Focused and prioritized resources will aid the City in having a positive impact on non- motorized transportation infrastructure. The City will strive to make strategic investments of the limited resources available and where possible, leverage resources in cooperation with other governmental and private agencies. The following goals and policies are consistent with the goals and policies of other chapters of the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan, with the Countywide Planning Policies and the Growth Management Act. Network and Facilities Goal & Policies Goal BP-1 Provide a comprehensive bikeway and pedestrian system connecting residential neighborhoods with parks, schools, commercial areas, trails, and employment areas within the City and to adjacent jurisdictions. Policies BP-1.1 Encourage bike lanes, shared use paths and sidewalks throughout the City where applicable and appropriate. -1.2 Encourage bicycle parking facilities at commercial and public facilities as well as at places of employment. BP-1.3 Work with Spokane Transit Authority to develop safe, comfortable and secure pedestrian amenities and bicycle parking facilities at transit stops as well as bike racks on transit vehicles. BP-1.4 Encourage sidewalks, bicycle facilities and shared use paths as part of development where applicable. BP-1.5 Encourage landscaping, bollards and other treatments with new streets, parking lots and other pedestrian activity zones to create an effective safety and visual buffer between the sidewalk and the street. BP-1.6 Coordinate on regional non-motorized efforts in partnership with adjoining jurisdictions and with the Spokane Regional Transportation Council. BP-1.7 Pursue joint funding applications for implementation that will expand the regional bikeway and pedestrian network. BP-1.8 Strive to maintain access for pedestrians, bicycles and emergency response vehicles when a street closure or a vacation request is processed. Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 12 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan BP-1.9 Encourage the use of technological advances to provide a safe, user friendly bicycle and pedestrian network. BP-1.10 When considering alternative modes of transportation, priority should be placed on providing sidewalks for children particularly in areas near parks and schools. Safety and Accessibility Goal and Policies Goal BP-2 Reduce the number of bicycle and pedestrian injuries through development of safe and accessible routes for bicyclists and pedestrians of all ages and abilities. Policies BP-2.1 Encourage bicycle and pedestrian facilities to meet nationally recognized design standards for safety and accessibility, such as AASHTO. BP-2.2 Encourage bicycle routes and shared use paths to be properly signed and marked to address personal safety. BP-2.3 Encourage safe bicycle and pedestrian crossings of major arterials, railroads, I- 90 and the Spokane River through use of innovative treatments where appropriate. BP-2.4 Encourage the enforcement of pedestrian and bicycle safety rules on City streets and bikeways. Promotion and Education Goal and Policie Goal BP-3 Implement comprehensive education and encouragement programs targeted at all populations in the City. Policies BP-3.1 Continue coordinating with existing agencies and programs, including the Spokane Regional Health District, the Safe Routes to Schools program, the Police Department, SCOPE, the Commute Trip Reduction program and other entities concerned with bicycle and pedestrian safety, to create education programs focused on safe bicycle riding, walking and motorist activity. BP-3.2 Provide current and easily accessible information about the bicycle and pedestrian networks, programs and facilities. Implementation, Funding and Maintenance Goal and Policies Goal BP- 4 Seek funding from all available sources to implement and maintain bicycle and pedestrian facilities as well as ongoing education and enforcement. Policies BP-4.1 Maintain a prioritized and phased implementation plan that takes into consideration the scope, cost and benefits of a facility, and available funding opportunities. BP-4.2 Where feasible, include facilities as described in this Bike and Pedestrian Element as part of the annual Transportation Improvement Program (TIP). BP-4.3 Review and monitor opportunities for multi-modal grant funding as they become available. Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 13 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan BP-4.4 City should strive to maintain quality street surfaces that provide a safe environment for vehicles and cyclists. BP-4.5 Ensure internal coordination between departments prior to developing street projects that include bike and/or pedestrian facilities. 11.4 Bike and Pedestrian Master Program 11.4.1 Engineering Improvements a. Overall Bicycle and Pedestrian Network The City of Spokane Valley Bike and Pedestrian Master Program is based on field data, citizen input and engineering analysis of constraints and opportunities for bicycle and pedestrian facilities. It should be noted that this is a master program, not a detailed feasibility analysis. As such, exact routing and designations could be modified during the course of more detailed studies of specific projects. The recommended bikeway network is shown in Map 11.2 and recommended pedestrian network is shown in Map 11.4. Map 11.5 shows the recommended travel ways for the schools that participated in the safe routes to school exercise. b. Possible Engineering Solutions The specific types of bike and pedestrian treatments that are applied to roads vary depending on the existing right-of-way, traffic counts, traffic speeds, roadway cross sections, number of approaches or driveways on the street and topography. A brief description of bicycle treatments is provided below. More specific design guidelines including the complete toolbox and typical cross section layouts are found in Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines. i. Bicycle Friendly Routes— Bicycle friendly routes are roadways with low speeds and low volumes. The treatments recommended for bicycle routes should strive to improve through movements for bicyclists and other non-motorized modes. Bicycle route treatments are ideal on two-lane roadways where traffic volume is less than 3,000 vehicles per day (although less than 1,500 vehicles per day is preferred) and posted speeds of 25 miles per hour or less. See Appendix 2 for specific bicycle friendly route treatments and cross sections. ii. Bicycle Lanes - Bicycle lanes designate an exclusive part of the roadway (typically on the right side of the roadway) to be used by bicyclists only. A bike lane is typically located between the right most traffic lane and the curb or on street parking area. A bicycle lane should be considered on roadways with traffic volumes greater than 3,000 vehicles per day or posted speeds greater than 25 miles per hour. Appendix 2 includes a variety of bicycle lane treatments from a standard bike lane to buffered bike lanes and climbing lanes. The appendix also includes cross sections showing how bike lanes could be applied to existing City roadways. iii. Cycle Tracks - A cycle track is an exclusive bike facility separated from vehicle traffic and the sidewalk, and is intended to provide improved comfort and safety for the bicyclist as compared to an on-street bike lane. The cycle track can be separated from vehicle traffic using a variety of treatments (curbs, planter strips, on-street parking, pavement markings, or other options). In addition, the cycle track should be clearly defined from sidewalks (grade separated, pavement markings, or an alternate clear indication) to prevent bicycle conflicts with pedestrians. A cycle track requires a wider cross section than a typical bike lane, but should be considered on roadways where bicyclists may not feel comfortable biking directly adjacent to vehicle traffic. Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 14 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan iv. Shared Use Paths — Shared use paths are physically separated from the roadway and are intended for use by pedestrians, bicyclists, runners and other non-motorized users. Shared use paths supplement bike lanes, bicycle friendly routes and sidewalks and connect to these other facilities at ends of the path as well as midway, depending on the length and location. The number of driveways and crossings should be minimized when designing a shared use path. Generally, if there are more than eight crossings per mile, an on-street facility should be considered instead. v. Bicycle Intersection Treatments - Intersection treatments improve the safety of bicyclists through an intersection (typically a signalized intersection). Depending on the characteristics of the cross streets (traffic and bicycle volumes, traffic and bicycle speeds, type of bicycle facility, number of vehicles and/or bikes turning, visibility, surrounding land use, and other factors) a range of treatments may be applicable. Appendix 2 provides specific intersection treatment guidelines and criteria. vi. Mid-Block Crossing Treatments - Mid-block crossings can be dangerous for bicyclists because drivers are not typically expecting a crossing at a non-intersection location. The need for a mid-block crossing may arise if two bicycle facilities are off-set or if a trail intersects a roadway at mid-block. In these situations, mid-block crossing treatments can be applied to improve the safety. vii. Wayfinding - Wayfinding is meant to be used by bicyclists while en route to communicate directions, distance and sometimes expected travel time to a particular destination. Wayfinding is typically accomplished through the use of signs supplemented at times with pavement markings. Wayfinding can be beneficial to all types of bicycle facilities. viii. Prioritization Criteria—Bicycle Network The overall bicycle and pedestrian networks will be implemented over time. The criteria contained in Appendix 1 has been used to determine where to focus available funding and staff time to implement bicycle facility projects. Priority is given to those projects anticipated to serve the most number of people and to contribute to overall safety. ix. Prioritization Criteria—Pedestrian Network The criteria contained in Appendix 1 was used to determine where to focus available funding and staff time to implement pedestrian facility projects. Priority is given to those projects anticipated to serve the most number of people and to contribute to overall safety. x. Network Improvements Facility improvements, summarized in Appendix 1, are categorized as short-term and long-term projects based on need and ease of implementation. 11.4.2 Ancillary Facilities Ancillary facilities add to the safety and comfort of using walking and bicycling as modes of transportation. Ancillary facilities can include bicycle parking, showers and lockers, transit features and bicycle and pedestrian maps. Crosswalk design can aid in increasing visibility through the use of specific striping patterns and lights. The following methods address ancillary features: a. Pedestrian Features: Encourage that pedestrian crossing facilities, including crosswalks and signage, alert both motorists and pedestrians to the presence of the facility. Work with developers and utilities to remove existing hazards such as light Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 15 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan poles and utility boxes from the sidewalk. Where appropriate, constrain roadway width with bulb-outs and tighter right turns at intersections to slow vehicles as they approach areas with high pedestrian volumes. Provide sidewalks or pedestrian paths between neighborhoods and commercial or public destinations where appropriate. Encourage clearly identified safe walking paths between public sidewalks and commercial buildings. b. Bicycle Parking: Continue to require bicycle racks for new development. Consider developing standards for the size of bicycle parking spaces, clearance, aisles, signs, anchoring, non-interference with pedestrian circulation, and weather protection. c. Shower and Locker Facilities: Continue to coordinate with Spokane County Commute Trip Reduction program to encourage shower and locker facilities as tenant benefits and to encourage employers to consider partnering with nearby gym facilities for use of existing shower facilities. d. Transit Features: Continue as an active partner with the Spokane Regional Transportation Council and the Spokane Transit Authority to encourage the accommodation of bike lockers and bikes on transit vehicles. 11.4.3 Education and Encouragement Unfortunately, too many bicyclists in the United States lack the basic skills or knowledge to safely ride a bicycle in traffic. Many people are afraid of bicycling on streets. Bicycle education programs are designed to increase bicycle safety by improving the ability to ride with traffic as well as improve motorist awareness. The difficulties faced in helping people develop this skill and knowledge stems from the wide range of age groups that require this training and the necessity to tailor the programs to each group. Bicycle education programs should be directed at children bicyclists, adult bicyclists and motorists. The following methods address education and encouragement: a. Child Education and Encouragement: In conjunction with the Health District, school districts and other interested organizations, encourage development of bicycle education programs for several age groups or use existing programs that have demonstrated effectiveness. Programs could be incorporated into existing summer parks programming and existing school programming. Programs could include bicycle helmet safety information, maintenance and repair, safe riding habits and bicycle rides. More specifically, students in grades K-3 could be taught basic pedestrian skills, stranger danger, crossing residential streets, using pedestrian push buttons and taking a school bus. Older students in Grades 4 to 5 could learn bike safety and handling skills, including bike operation on streets with supervised bike rides on neighborhood streets. Later, in Grades 7-9, students could learn basic mobility skills of how to get around town including using transit for utilitarian and recreational trips (e.g., how to read a bus schedule, execute a transfer, take rapid transit), and more on safe bicycling practices. In tenth grade, many students take driver's education. The driver's education curriculum could include focused instruction on how motorists should interact with pedestrians and bicyclists, how to predict their movements, pass safely and learn when different modes have the right-of-way. b. Adult Education and Encouragement: Continue to partner with the Health District, Police Department, SCOPE and other interested organizations to develop adult pedestrian and bicycle program(s) which could include a public awareness campaign focused on responsible road behavior. The campaign could be directed to pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike and make use of public service space from newspapers, television, radio, bus advertising, posters and flyers included in utility bills. In addition, promote community events such as Bike to Work Week, charity bike rides, costume rides, bike fairs and bicycle rodeos. Include bicycle safety checks and Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 16 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan safety information. Incorporate "share the road" signs where appropriate on City streets and include "sharing the road" or other safety campaign information on the City's webpage. 11.4.4 Enforcement While laws that address bicyclists' behavior and safety are in place, they are sometimes not fully enforced. Effective enforcement leads to a safer environment for pedestrians, bicyclists and motorists alike. The following methods address enforcement of this Bike and Pedestrian Master Program: a. Law Enforcement: Work with the Spokane Valley Police Department to develop a policy to include the City's intent to enforce existing laws affecting pedestrian, bicyclist and motorist responsibilities, including parking in bike lanes but especially those relating to drunken driving, careless driving, speeding and failing to yield. b. School Crossings: Continue assisting school districts to develop their Safe Routes to School programs to ensure safe crossing activity at school sites. Engage SCOPE as an additional presence where needed. c. Facility Upkeep: Continue existing program of regular maintenance of street and sidewalk facilities. Ensure that asphalt pavement overlays are flush with the concrete gutter and that utility covers are flush with the pavement. 11.4.5 Implementation and Funding X. Various portions of this Bicycle and Pedestrian Master Program can be implemented with existing procedures (such as paint applied when a road is resurfaced, continuing existing requirements and coordination with other agencies). Other portions will require further study, possible neighborhood input and detailed engineering design. Table 11.4.1 summarizes potential steps involved with implementation: Table 11.4.1 BPMP Implementation Summary Program or Possible Implementation Step(s) Lead Department Improvement Further studies to determine exact facility Community Development; Public Works improvements to be implemented Neighborhood input Community Development Bicycle and Pedestrian Network Improvements Engineering design work Public Works Funding source identification Community Development; Public Works Environmental review Community Development; Public Works Application of requirements with development Community Development; Project Developers Ancillary Facilities Coordination with other agencies Community Development Education and Program research and development Community Development; Parks Department Encouragement Programs Coordination with other agencies in developing Community Development programs Enforcement Programs — Funding Source identification Community Development; Public Works Adopted XX-XX-XX Chapter 11 — Bike and Pedestrian Master Program Page 17 of 18 City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan As referenced in Table 11.4.1, funding would be required to implement many portions of the Bike and Pedestrian Master Program. Detailed descriptions of funding sources, including match requirements and application timing, are contained in Appendix 3. Review of several funding programs reveals that while each grant announcement details specific criteria for funding, certain common threads are present. When applying for funding consider the following criteria: a. Partnership Funding is limited. Therefore, grant sources encourage and support cooperative regional projects and planning efforts that integrate housing, transportation, environmental impact and economic development. Projects that pull together public and private entities and multiple stakeholders are favored. b. Risk Reduction Crash data quantifies dangerous stretches of pedestrian and bicycle commute routes. Increasing safety for pedestrians and bicyclists encourages the larger community to consider these alternative modes of transportation. Projects designed to address a clear and demonstrated safety hazard are therefore encouraged. c. Location Bike and pedestrian facilities that link residential areas with schools, recreation facilities, and shopping areas result in a large benefit to a community. Encouraging alternative transportation to daily activities reduces car commutes and pollution. Well located projects also consider and provide for multi-generational users. d. Broad Project Scope Developing and encouraging use of an overall bike and pedestrian system is an on-going process. Implementing a successful bike and pedestrian master program includes identification of facility improvements, provisions for education, encouragement and enforcement, and program follow-up that provides for evaluation and adjustments over time. 11.4.6 Monitoring and Modifications Monitoring the effectiveness of the overall BPMP can be accomplished as part of the annual Comprehensive Plan review and update. Modifications to the Bicycle Map, the Pedestrian Map, the project implementation tables and other programs described in this Chapter can be accomplished as needed to achieve established goals. The City's web page can be updated with notices of projects that are in the planning, design, build or maintenance phase. Education and enforcement activities can be highlighted on the web page.

It is organized in two sections: 1. Toolbox. The toolbox describes treatment options and criteria to determine whether the treatment is best suited for a particular facility. 2. Cross Sections. The second section illustrates several existing cross sections of roadways in the City recommended as bicycle facilities, and shows how those cross sections could be adjusted to accommodate different bicycle facilities. Toolbox The toolbox provides design guidelines and criteria for seven general types of bicycle treatments: • Bicycle Friendly Routes (Table 1) • Bicycle Lanes (Table 2) • Cycle Tracks (Table 3) • Bicycle Intersection Treatments (Table 4) • Mid-Block Crossing Treatments (Table 5) • Wayfinding (Table 6) • Shared Use Bicycle Paths (Table 7) These treatments are not exclusive of one another, and are generally used in combination. For example, a bicycle friendly route or bicycle lane could also include wayfinding and intersection treatments.

Criteria: Streets where traffic volumes are more than 3,000 per day • Streets where the posted traffic speed is 25 mph or greater Streets with truck traffic Typical Applications—Bicycle Lane T' a.

Climbing Lane Climbing lanes can be used on bicycle facilities with uphill grades.The climbing lane provides separation between bicyclists and vehicles for uphill roadway sections that are otherwise designated as shared roadways.On uphill sections in particular,the speed differential between bicyclists and motor vehicles increases,which increases the safety risk.There are no standard criteria for when to install a bicycle climbing lane.Some cities recommend climbing lanes on bicycle facilities with grades as low as 1.5%depending on the roadway characteristics and potential conflicts between vehicles and bicyclists,while others might not install a climbing lane unless a facility exceeds a 5%grade.The characteristics of the facility should be considered along with vehicle speeds,volumes, and bicycle volumes. By providing an uphill bicycle lane,separation is maintained between the two modes and safety is improved. In the downhill direction a bicyclist can likely travel at the speed of traffic,so a shared lane is adequate for the downhill bicyclist. In the picture below the right lane is traveling uphill with a bicycle climbing lane,any -ne is traveling downhill with a shared bicycle/vehicle lane. Jf • i 0 Estimated Cost Range:$4,000 to$6.000 per mile(the cost iay increase if existing pavement marking removal is required) c. Buffered Bicycle Lai.e A buffered bicycle lane provides additional separation between the bicycle lane and vehicle travel lane(or in some cases between the bicycle lane and on-street parking). Depending on the existing lane widths,creating a buffered bicycle lane either reduces the width of a vehicle travel lane or removes a vehicle travel lane.A buffered zone between the bicycle lane and vehicle travel lane is recommended w" `^speeds are above 35 mph. Another alts _is to N,_ ;e the buffered zone between the bicycle lane and on-street parking,which is better suited for locations with high ,g turnover rates. „pp • Li ifID‘l t Estimated Cost Range: $5,000 to$10,000 per mile Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 5 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Bicycle Lanes d.

Paved Shoulder This treatment is typically used in rural areas on roadways with higher speeds.On roadways with over 2,000 ADT and speeds that exceed 35 mph the paved shoulder should be between four and six feet from the face of guardrail. If the roadway speed exceeds 50 mph or there is a high percentage of heavy vehicles,the paved shoulder should be 8 feet wide.As long as the paved shoulder meets the width requirements based on roadway speed,the shoulder may be signed as a bicycle facility. U` Estimated Cost Range:Varies depending on the existing roadway conditions. Typical Applications—Bicycle Lanes at Intersections f. RigF Turn Restrictions or Warnings To impro the safety of bicyclists using bicycle lanes, right turns across the bicycle lane by vehicles could either be restricted or warning sig.7s used to raise awareness of the bicycle lane and potential conflict with bicyclists.

Transitioning a Through Bicycle Lane Transitioning a through bicycle lane to the left side of a vehicle right turn lane prior to an intersection reduces the potential for right hook collisions by correctly positioning both the bicyclist and vehicle at the intersection.A"Begin right turn lane,yield to bicycle"sign should be placed at the beginning of the transition zone. One option to increase visibility of the transition zone is to use colored pavement marking through the transition area(shown in image on right).

Colored Bicycle Lane Having a colored bicycle lane as it approaches an intersection draws attention to the correct and expected location of bicyclists.The treatment is ideal for intersections with high bicycle and vehicle volumes,or at locations where the position of the bicycle lane changed from the previous block.The FHWA has issued an Interim Approval)for the use of green coloring in bicycle lanes. Citing multiple experiments that demonstrated positive operational effects for both bicycle riders and other road users,with no notable negative effects,this approval allows states to apply for approval to use coloring in bicycle lanes and bicycle lane extensions,and States may request approval for all jurisdictions in that State.This Interim Approval does not make the use of green colored pavement mandatory.3 R z.

In addition the cycle track should be clearly defined from the sidewalk(grade separated,pavement markings,or an alternate clear indication)to prevent bicycle conflicts with pedestrians. Criteria: While the US does not have established standards that define what conditions warrant a cycle track, international documents do provide some guidance. However, in most cases,the criteria are more qualitative than quantitative and each facility should be evaluated independently based on roadway and user characteristics. For one-way cycle tracks • Streets with high motor vehicle volumes and/or speeds(factors that would make on-street biking feel uncomfortable). International documents suggest a cycle track may be appropriate where traffic speeds are 40 mph or greater4 and total two-way traffic volumes are 9,000 vehicles per day or greater.5 • Streets with few driveways(there is no specific number;engineering judgment should be used for each facility in question) • Streets where intersection conflicts can be effectively managed(since cycle tracks are often on the right side of on-street parking,visibility of cyclists approaching intersections can be compromised,parking set backs and other mitigation measures need to be considered at intersections and driveways) For two-way cycle tracks(in addition to the criteria listed above) • Streets with destinations mostly on one side • Streets with less driveways or intersection conflicts on one side • On one-way streets to reduce the out of direction travel for bicyclists • On streets where there is not enough room for a one-way cycle track on each side of the roadway Typical Applications—One Way Cycle Track 4 Cycling Design Guide.

Driveway and Side Street Treatments Vehicles turning into driveways or side streets across cycle tracks presents a unique challenge because drivers may not anticipate a bicyclist approaching since the cycle track is separated from the vehicle lanes.The following treatments can be used to improve the safety of a bicyclist through driveway on a cycle track: • Installing pavement markings through the driveway to draw attention to entering motorists.Yield signs and pavement markings can also be applied. • Restrict parking for 30 feet on each side of the driveway to improve visibility. • Ensure a sight triangle of 20 feet from a minor street to the cycle track,and 10 feet from a driveway to the cycle track. The picture below shows a recommended clear zone and sight triangle for a cycle trace at a driveway. From a driveway there should be a horizontal clear zone of 10 feet from the driveway,and for a minor street there r be a horizontal clear zone of 20 feet from the minor street. In addition,if on-street parking is allowed along the cycle track, if u be prohibited within 30 feet of the driveway or minor street.

Intersection Treatments At intersections.cycle tracks present a unique challenge since the bicyclist may be less visible to drivers due to the cycle track being slightly separated from the roadway. Similar treatments used at driveways can also be applied to intersections such as restricting parking to improve visibility,and warning signs for drivers. In addition the following treatments may be applied to improve the safety of the cycle track for bicyclists: • Cycle track signal phase • Prohibit right turns • Install warning signs for right turning motorists to yield to bicyclists. • Option to bring bicyclists into a wide outside traffic lane just prior to intersection to improve visibility. • Clearly indicate to turning vehicles the intended path,so drivers do not mistakenly enter the cycle track. 171 Example right turn warning sign for vehicles(also see image in section g) Estimated Cost Range:See section a(cost of intersection treatments included in overall length of a cycle track) Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 11 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Cycle Tracks d. Two Stage Left Turns For cyclists who need to turn left at an intersection,a two stage left turn should be provided.Since the cycle track is to the right of the vehicle lanes,a bicyclist wanting to turn left at an intersection needs a way to safety cross the traffic lanes.A two stage left turn bicycle box allows a cycle track user to do exactly that. Using the green phase the bicyclist proceeds through the intersection with the flow of vehicles,but then pulls into a left turn bicycle box at the far end of the intersection.The bicyclist then waits in the box until the perpendicular direction of traffic receives a green indication,and then proceeds with traffic.

Driveway and Side Street Treatments In addition to the driveway treatments discussed for one-way cycle tracks,a two-way cycle track needs to provide warning indications to motor vehicle drivers(both entering and exiting)to expect bicyclists in the contra flow direction.Yield signs,and markings through the driveways should be used to alert drivers. Prohibiting left turns into driveways across two-way cycle tracks should also be considered. The image below shows a proposed treatment fog ov cycle track across a driveway. In this image it is assumed that the left turn into the driveway is prohibited. If the left turn rr i . into the driveway is allowed,a sign to warn drivers of the two-way cycle track traffic could be considered.

Intersection Treatments In addition to intersection treatments discussed for one-way cycle tracks, intersections with two-way cycle tracks present unique challenges due to the contra flow bicycle lane.Treatment options include: • Prohibit right turns on red for right turning vehicles from the side street across the cycle track. • Install bicycle signals with a leading bicycle and pedestrian phase so bicyclists enter the intersection before vehicles to improve visibility. • Install yield signs for right turning drivers on the main street(with the cycle track) • Install candle sticks or safe hits at the cycle track entrance to discourage vehicles from turning into the cycle track area.

Depending on the characteristics of the cross streets (traffic and bicycle volumes,traffic and bicycle speeds,type of bicycle facility, number of vehicles and/or bikes turning,visibility, surrounding land use,and other factors)a range of treatments may be applicable. Criteria: • Locations where a bicycle facility crosses a roadway that may cause bicyclists to feel unsafe without intersection improvements. • Level of treatment depends on cross street traffic volumes,cross section,anr'traffic speeds. Typical Applications a. Bicycle Boxes Bicycle boxes provide a designated area at the intersection for bicyclists to .ahead hides during a red traffic signal phase. This improves the visibility of bicyclists and helps prevent right-hook r cts. Ideal for in, =ctions with high right turning vehicle conflicts,or high bicycle volumes to reduce bicycle signal delay an' as.At intersection where the bicycle box extends across all lanes in the travel direction, left turning bicyclists can positior ,elves ideally during the red signal phase.This treatment also improves driver compliance at crosswalks,so high pedestrian .y(with high bicycle volumes)is another typical application. • 7-=.--.LI , • dil Estimated Cost Range:$5,000 to$6,000(not including annual maintenance). Markings may need to be replaced every 1 to 10 years depending on wear patterns. Replacement costs would be$5,000 to$6,000(same as initial installation). b. Colored/Marked Bicycle Lane through the Intersection Bicycle lanes marked through intersections help guide bicyclists along the intended travel path and alert drivers to the presence of a bicycle lane(and bicyclists).Applications may include areas where vehicles may encroach on the bicycle lane such as ramp style exits,across signalized intersections that are wide or complex,across driveways,and stop or yield controlled approaches. .i • Estimated Cost Range:$5 to$15 per square foot depending on material Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 15 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Bicycle Intersection Treatments c.

In these situations, mid-block crossing treatments can be applied to improve the safety of a bicyclist. Criteria: Depending on the characteristics of the facility being crossed,different treatments may apply. Criteria to consider includes:vehicle speed,width of the roadway,vehicle volumes,sight distance,and typical driver compliance in the region. Typical Applications a. Bicycle Crossing Markings Bicycle crossing markings can be similar to pedestrian style crossings. However cle crossing typically has two parallel sets of markings,one for each direction of bicycle travel to help reduce head on bic ts. Pedestrians can also use the bicycle crossing area.

Median Refuge Island A median refuge island allows a bicyclist to cross a street in two phases,while waiting in a comfortable space.The treatment is ideal for multilane facilities with two-way traffic where waiting for an acceptable gap in traffic for a single phase crossing would cause undue delay.The desired width for median is 10 feet,although 6 feet is the absolute minimum,and a median should be a minimum of 30 feet long. _ • N�^f Estimated Cost Range:$15,000 to$30,000 per 100 feet Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 18 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Mid-Block Crossing Treatments c. Rapid Flashing Beacon A rapid flashing beacon is used in conjunction with a marked crossing. It is typically activated using a push button and indicates that vehicles need to stop and yield to bicyclists or pedestrians using the designated crossing.A flashing beacon is typically placed on a post on the side of the roadway, but can also be installed over a lane.These examples show pedestrian crossings, however,the warning sign can be modified to show a bicycle,or both a bicycle and pedestrian. Based on the NCHRP Report 562 and the studies by Charles Zeeger(see resources listed on the last page)the following criteria applies to installing flashing beacons at unsignalized crossing locations: • When ADT is less than 9,000—activated flashing beacons are recommended if vehicle speeds exceed 40 mph,or if the facility is 4 lanes with speeds of 35 mph. • When ADT is between 9,000 to 12,000—activated flashing beacons are re' fended for 3 or more lanes if speeds exceed 35 mph. • When ADT is greater than 12,000—activated flashing beacons are re .:nded for 3 or more lanes if speeds exceed 30 mph.

Off-Set Intersections At some locations, bicycle friendly routes may continue at an offset across a busy street.One treatment option to safely connect the offset bicycle friendly route is shown below. In this treatment,a two way cycle track is incorporated on one side of the roadway.The cycle track guides bicyclists to cross at a particular location,which may include activated beacons or a signal depending on the roadway characteristics. Below are two different types of offset intersection crossings.The top image uses a path to the side of the main roadway and the picture on the bottom shows an intersection with center bicycle lanes connecting the off-set intersections.

Criteria: Wayfinding can be used to help bicyclists(and vehicle drivers)identify which facilities are designated as bicycle facilities.The wayfinding may convey several factors including: • Which roadways are designated as bicycle facilities • Directions to key areas or connections • Expected travel time by bicycle to key areas or connections In particular,wayfinding is beneficial at junctions and intersections with other` cilities. Typical Applications a. Standard signs to indicate bicycle facilities Part 9 of the MUTCD(2009 Edition)includes"Traffic Control for Bicycle Facillities". In this section there are several standard wayfinding signs that can be used along bicycle facilities.Some signs simply indicate the presence of a bicycle facility,while other signs provide additional information such as destinations and distances.The pictures below show a sampling of signs from the MUTCD and their respective sign numbers. p c 3 CC40 : BIKE LANE Kingston • BIK ROUTE , R3-17 D1-3c DI 1.1 ( Ps C(15) 1 T 3 O Downtown BEGIN END 011-1c M1-8 M4-14 M4-6 M6-3 Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 21 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Wayfinding b.

Maps Portable maps indicating bicycle and pedestrian around the City could be provided to assist bicyclists and pedestrians in wayfinding. Maps could be provided at public facilities such as City Hall and libraries as well as bicycle shops or other interested vendors. In addition,the maps could be available electronically through the City's website. Estimated Cost Range:$0 to$5 for a paper map(in some cities a private vendor sponsors the map which could make it free or low cost to the City of Spokane Valley). e. Mobile Applications As technology continues to advance, private industries will likely develop apps that can be used on mobile devices to assist bicyclists navigating around the City of Spokane Valley. Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 23 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Table 7: Shared Use Bicycle Paths Shared Use Bicycle Paths Description: Shared use paths are physically separated from the roadway,and are intended to be used by pedestrians,bicyclists, runners,and other non-motorized users.A shared use path can supplement a thorough system of on street facilities in a city,and connect to the on-street system at end points of the trail as well as midpoints depending on the length and location. Criteria: The following characteristics can be used when considering which facilities could serve as appropriate shared use path: • A shared use path can be provided when on-street facilities are not an option and when separate right of way is available (such as a former railroad line). • The number of driveways and crossings should be minimized. Accordir z Idaho Department of Transportation,if there are more than 8 crossings per mile,an on-street facility should sidered instead. • Where crossings cannot be avoided,special design treatments shr used to treat potential conflicts. Typical Applications a. Bicycle and Pedestrian Shared Use Path The following design criteria should be considered: • Minimum paved width of a shared use path is 10 feet,although 12 to 14 feet(or more)is preferred especially if the use is expected to be moderate to heavy(AASHTO). • Two feet of additional clearance should be provided on either side of the path. • An 8 foot path may be appropriate under dome circumstances(bicycle and pedestrian use is expected to be consistently low,the alignment allows for safe and d:passing opportunities,and maintenance vehicles are not expected to drive on the path which would could subject ti ant edges to damage). • Markings to separate bicyclists from pede ana n a shared use path are not necessary, but a centerline marking to separate two-way traffic is appropriate on p vays with heavy peak or seasonal volumes. • The surface should be asphalt to accommod, all types of non-motorized users. Below are pictures of a two-way shared use path.On the It ,the path runs along an active railroad line on the left and an industrial facility on the right,both separated by a fence. In the photo cn the right the path runs along a neighborhood (left side)and a freeway and light rail line(right side). 4, Estimated Cost Range:$250,000 to$500,000 per mile(includes asphalt surface,signing,striping,wayfinding,drainage,and limited crossings,does not include design costs).

Adopted XX-XX-XX- DRAFT Chapter 11— Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 33 of 33 Appendix 2: Facility Design Guidelines City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Appendix 3: Funding Source Ideas Public Sector Funding Sources FEDERAL: Federal transportation policy is to increase non-motorized transportation to at least 15 percent of all trips and to simultaneously reduce the number of non-motorized users killed or injured in traffic crashes by at least 10 percent. This policy, which was adopted in 1994 as part of the National Bicycling and Walking Study, remains a high priority for the U.S. Department of Transportation (DOT). Improving conditions and safety for bicycling and walking embodies the spirit and intent of Federal surface transportation law and policy to create an integrated, intermodal transportation system which provides travelers with a real choice of transportation modes. State and local agencies are challenged to work together cooperatively with transportation providers, user groups, and the public to develop plans, programs, and projects which reflect this vision. At the Federal level, the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) is working with the National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA), the Federal Transit Administration (FTA), the Federal Railroad Administration (FRA), and other agencies, to implement the bicycle and pedestrian provisions of Federal surface transportation law. Federal surface transportation law provides tremendous flexibility to States and MPOs to fund bicycle and pedestrian improvements from a wide variety of programs. Virtually all the major transportation funding programs can be used for bicycle and pedestrian-related projects. When considering ways to improve conditions for bicycling and walking, States and MPOs are specifically encouraged to include bicycle and pedestrian improvements as an incidental part of larger projects, as described above, and to review and use the most appropriate funding source for a particular project. Many bicycle and pedestrian projects are more suitable for funding under the Congestion Mitigation and Air Quality(CMAQ) Improvement Program, Surface Transportation Program, or other federal programs. There is a wide range of other federal funds that can be used for bicycling and walking facilities. The most common include: • Funds through federal land agencies such as the National Forest Service, National Park Service or Bureau of Land Management. These funds are primarily for trails on federal lands. • Community Development Block Grants through HUD —the Department of Housing and Urban Development provides funds for community-based projects. Examples of the types of projects they fund are: o Commercial district streetscape improvements o Sidewalk improvements o Safe routes to school o Neighborhood-based bicycling and walking facilities that improve local transportation options or help revitalize neighborhoods • Recreational Trails Program (RTP) funds come from the Federal Highway Trust Fund, and represent a portion of the motor fuel excise tax collected from non-highway recreational fuel use: fuel used for off-highway recreation by snowmobiles, all-terrain vehicles, off-highway motorcycles, and off-highway light trucks. The RTP funds are distributed to the States by legislative formula: half of the funds are distributed equally among all States, and half are distributed in proportion to the estimated amount of non-highway recreational fuel use in each State. See the Funding Levels by State. The distribution model is based on a report for FHWA by the Oak Ridge National Laboratory in July 1999 (Fuel Used for Off-Road Recreation: A Reassessment of the Fuel Use Model). • Transportation Enhancements (TE) investments benefit communities through rehabilitation of historic facilities related to transportation, renovated streetscapes, rail-trails and other transportation trails, transportation museums, and scenic and historic highway program visitor Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 1 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan centers. This website is a resource to States providing official legislation and guidance documents. The National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse (NTEC) also has a website which includes an introduction to TE, how to find out about the TE program in each State, see project examples, access a database of TE projects, see how States use TE funds, and order TE related documents. The National Transportation Enhancements Clearinghouse has prepared a useful Technical Brief: Financing and Funding for Trails that cites over thirty federal and national funding sources that could be used to help fund bicycling and walking facilities and/or programs, especially trails. STATE: Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT)—Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Grants Program Purpose The Pedestrian and Bicycle Safety Grants were established to address the nearly 400 statewide fatal and injury collisions involving pedestrians and bicycles each year. These safety focused projects may also support increased mobility and encourage more people to bicycle and walk. Eligible Applicants Only agencies that have been contacted with an invitation to apply for funding are eligible apply. Projects submitted by agencies who have not been contacted will not be considered. Invitations to submit applications will be sent to public agencies where WSDOT has identified known pedestrian and bicycle risk locations. Please see the invitational methodology to learn more on how the process took place. Examples of Eligible Projects Engineering improvements — based on recent state and national research, arterial streets in urban areas with higher speeds and volumes are the locations with the most collisions and risk. The research also indicates that several treatments may effectively reduce pedestrian and bicycle collisions at these locations. Projects may include items such as: • Intersection improvements such as: curb extensions, lighting, raised median, crosswalk enhancements, signs, signals and mid-block crossing treatments; • Completing bicycle lanes and sidewalks; • Constructing bicycle and pedestrian paths; • Providing safe routes to transit; • Pedestrian and bicycle safety improvements for at risk groups (children, elderly and people with disabilities). Education efforts — inform the public about projects and how they improves safety, educate the public about biking and walking safety in general, and include the broad range of transportation choices and events and activities that promote walking and biking safely. Projects may include items such as: • Implementation of educational curricula. • Distribution of educational materials. • Walk or bike promotional programs. • Pedestrian sting operations. Other WSDOT Funding Sources for Bicycle and Pedestrian Facilities WSDOT works closely with local, county and regional organizations to balance transportation needs with community values and environmental goals. There are several state and federal funding sources that may be available to support these efforts: Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 2 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Washington Wildlife and Recreation Program: Acquisition and development of local and state parks, water access sites, trails, critical wildlife habitat, natural areas, and urban wildlife habitat. • Small City Sidewalk Program: Improve safety, provide access, and address system continuity and connectivity. The program is on an annual cycle. • Non-Highway and Off-Road Vehicle Program: Develop and manage recreation opportunities for those who use off-road vehicles and facilities for those who pursue non-motorized trail activities. • Traffic Safety Grants: Reduce the number of deaths and serious injuries that result from traffic crashes. • Transportation Enhancement Grants: Strengthen the cultural, aesthetic and environmental aspects of the intermodal transportation system. • National Recreational Trails Program: Rehabilitate and maintain recreational trails and facilities that provide a backcountry experience. • Intersection and Corridor Safety Program: Eliminate or reduce fatal or injury accidents by identifying and correcting hazardous locations, sections and/or elements that constitute a danger to motorists, pedestrians, and/or bicyclists. • Washington Scenic Byways Program: WSDOT provides federal funding to projects on highways designated as National Scenic Byways, All-American Roads, or as State scenic byways. • Public Lands Highways Program: Improve access to and within federal lands "served by the public lands highway." • Surface Transportation Program - Regional Funds: Metropolitan Planning Organizations provide federal funding for projects on any Federal-aid highway, bridge projects on any public road, transit capital projects, and intra-city and inter-city bus terminals and facilities. • Trip Reduction Performance Program: Get people out of their cars and onto buses, trains, vanpools, and other commute options. • Congestion Mitigation Air Quality Improvement Program: Metropolitan Planning Organizations provide federal funds to projects and programs that reduce transportation related emissions in four air quality non-attainment and maintenance areas in the state. State of Washington—Transportation Improvement Board (TIB) TIB Funding Programs for Urban Customers - Urban Sidewalk Program TIB typically issues a Call for Projects each summer with applications due at the end of August. The Sidewalk Program was established by the Legislature to provide funding for pedestrian projects. The program is available to both small city and urban agencies. Urban and small city projects compete separately. To be eligible for the program: • The intent of the project must be transportation and not recreation. • The project must be on a federally classified route (principal, minor, or collector). Projects improve pedestrian safety, access, connectivity, and address system continuity. Completed projects must be consistent with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). Projects are usually large in scale with multiple funding sources ranging from local contribution to private developer fees. These projects are selected annually on a competitive basis. Each program has distinct characteristics for the best suited project. Qualification and criteria are different within each program. Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 3 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Once selected, TIB staff provides grant oversight, participates in Value Engineering (VE) studies, and acts as facilitators to bring projects to completion. WAC 479-12-421 identifies projects that are eligible for sidewalk program funding Minimum project requirements for each subprogram are as follows: 1. Urban sidewalk program project eligibility: a. Must be on or related to a functionally classified route; and b. Primary purpose of the project is transportation and not recreation. 2. Small city sidewalk program project eligibility: a. The project must be located on or related to a street within the TIB designated arterial system; and b. Primary purpose of the project is transportation and not recreation. For both of the subprograms, TIB does not participate in the cost for right of way acquisitions. For the urban sidewalk program, TIB does not provide funding increases. WAC 479-12-431 stipulates the award criteria used for the sidewalk program The board establishes the following criteria for use in evaluating sidewalk program grant applications for both urban and small city sidewalk projects: 1. Safety improvement- projects that address hazard mitigation and accident reduction. 2. Pedestrian access - projects that improve or provide access to facilities including: a. Schools; b. Public buildings; c. Central business districts; d. Medical facilities; e. Activity centers; f. High density housing (including senior housing); g. Transit facilities; h. Completes or extends existing sidewalks. 3. Local support-addresses local needs and is supported by the local community. WAC 479-12-121 identifies projects that are eligible for urban arterial program funding Eligible projects are improvements located on a route with an urban federal functional classification. Any urban street that is not functionally classified at the time of award must obtain functional classification prior to approval to expend board funds. For the urban arterial program, sidewalks are required on both sides of the roadway unless a sidewalk deviation is granted by the executive director or board through WAC 479-12-500. WAC 479-12-131 stipulates the award criteria for the urban arterial program The board establishes the following criteria for use in evaluating urban arterial program grant applications: 1. Safety improvements -addresses accident reduction, eliminates roadway hazards, and corrects roadway deficiencies. 2. Mobility improvements - improves level of service, improves access to generators, and connects urban street networks. Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 4 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan 3. Pavement condition - replaces or rehabilitates street surfaces and structural deficiencies. 4. Mode accessibility - provides additional high occupancy vehicle lanes, bus volume, or non- motorized facilities. 5. Local support-demonstrates initiative to achieve full funding and project completion. Safe Routes to School Mini-grants About Safe Routes to School Mini-grants The goal of Safe Routes to School (SRTS) programs is to enable and encourage children to safely walk and bicycle to school. SRTS programs are implemented nationwide by parents, schools, community leaders, and local, state, and tribal governments. The aim of the mini-grants is to use student creativity and leadership skills to increase safe walking and bicycling to school. Successful applications will include one or a combination of the following: student-led activities, concern for the environment, and/or promotion of physical activity. Activities funded by the mini- grants must be part of a new or existing Safe Routes to School program. Applicant Eligibility Eligible applicants include: • Faculty, staff, or parent volunteers at elementary or middle schools; • Adult-supervised elementary or middle school groups or clubs; • Adult-supervised high school groups/clubs that wish to partner with a nearby elementary or middle school; • Local governments; • Tribal governments; and/or • Community-based or private non-profit organizations engaged in improving safety for and increasing the number of children who safely walk or ride a bicycle to school. Eligible Activities The schools at which mini-grant activities will occur must be elementary or middle schools. Also, these schools must be either starting new SRTS program activities or events, or currently conducting SRTS activities and want to expand them. The National Center is providing mini-grants for creative ideas that are youth-focused and that may explore related issues such as: How do students encourage their peers and the adults in their lives to walk and bicycle safely to school? How do students and others make the connection between safe routes to school and environmental or physical activity issues? Examples of eligible activities include, but are not limited to, the following: • Students encouraging peers/parents to find opportunities to walk or bicycle, starting with the trip to school. • Students connecting the choice to walk or bicycle with helping the environment. • Students connecting the choice to walk or bicycle with better health. • Students developing messages for parents/other drivers to drive safely, especially in school zones and neighborhoods. From carbon calculators to social marketing campaigns, from audits of school environments to communicating with local politicians and/or government officials, submit a proposal for a project that can make a difference at your school or community. Activities funded by the mini-grants must have the potential to have long-term impacts. Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 5 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan Although it is not required, applicants may want to collect student travel data as part of their application in order to have more information about current rates of walking and bicycling to school. This information may help applicants decide on appropriate activities. For more information about data collection, and for student travel tally forms, please see www.saferoutesinfo.orq/data. Selection Criteria All applications that meet the eligibility requirements above will be reviewed by a committee that will aim to make awards to: • A broad geographic distribution of recipients; • Applicants representing a variety of program types; • Applicants who provide a clear description of how funding will be used to begin new programs or advance current projects or programs with activities that fit with eligibility requirements outlined above; and • Projects or programs that align with SRTS goals of encouraging more children to walk and bicycle to school safely. Funding Restrictions Mini-grant funds may not be used for staff salaries, fundraising, food or refreshments, or cash prizes. The mini-grant funds are Federal funds, and there are Federal restrictions on how the funds are spent. If you have questions about funding eligibility for specific activities, please email info @saferoutesinfo.orq. Reporting Requirements Mini-grant recipients will be required to submit an informal written report on activities midway through the implementation period. Recipients will also be required to submit a formal report at the end of the implementation period (June/July 2010) that provides information about the project. The formal report will include the following: • Budget report of actual expenditures • Description of the project's activities, challenges, successes, and participation rates • At least three digital pictures that show one or more activities of the funded project Mini-grant recipients may be required to complete a brief questionnaire after the grant period. Private Sector funding Sources Local There are many examples of local communities creating revenue streams to improve conditions for bicycling and walking. Three common approaches include: special bond issues, dedications of a portion of local sales taxes or a voter-approved sales tax increase, and use of the annual capital improvement budgets of Public Works and/or Parks agencies. Some examples follow: • The City of Albuquerque, New Mexico, and Bernalillo County, have a 5 percent set-aside of street bond funds which go to trails and bikeways. For the City, this has amounted to approximately $1.2 million every two years. City voters last year passed a 1/4 cent gross receipts tax for transportation which includes approximately $1 million per year for the next ten years for trail development. Many on-street facilities are developed as a part of other road projects. • Pinellas County, Florida built much of the Pinellas Trail system with a portion of a one cent sales tax increase voted for by county residents. Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 6 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Seattle, Washington approved a nine year levy (property tax) in the fall of 2006 that provides five million dollars a year for pedestrian and bicycle projects. • Denver, Colorado invested $5 million in its emerging trail network with a bond issue, which also funded the city's bike planner for a number of years. • Eagle County, Colorado (which includes Vail) voters passed a transportation tax that earmarks 10 percent for trails, about$300,000 a year. • In Colorado Springs, Colorado, 20 percent of the new open space sales tax is designated for trail acquisition and development; about$5-6 million per year. Local Organizations Shared-use trails have spawned a widespread movement of local non-profit organizations. Many of them have raised hundreds of thousands of dollars to plan and construct trails. Land Trusts The environmental land trust movement has mushroomed in the past twenty years. Many of these organizations have raised funds to purchase land where trails are built, especially Rails-to-Trails. Businesses There is increasing corporate and business involvement in trail and conservation projects. Employers recognize that creating places to bike and walk is one way to build community and attract a quality work force. Bicycling and outdoor recreation businesses often support local projects and programs. • In Evansville, Indiana, a boardwalk is being built with corporate donations from Indiana Power and Light Co. and the Wal-Mart Foundation. • In Arizona, trail directional and interpretive signs are being provided by the Salt River Project a local utility. Other corporate sponsors of the Arizona Trail are the Hughes Missile Systems, BHP Cooper, and Pace American, Inc. • Recreational Equipment, Inc. has long been a financial supporter of local trail and conservation projects. • The Kodak Company now supports the American Greenways Awards program of The Conservation Fund, which was started in partnership with the DuPont Company. This annual awards program provides grants of up to $2500 to local greenway projects for any activities related to greenway advocacy, planning, design or development. For further details and tips for accessing the corporate and business community contact the Trails and Greenways Clearinghouse at the Rails-to-Trails Conservancy: 1-877-GRNWAYS (476-9297). Community Fundraising & Partnering Community fundraising and creative partnerships are plentiful. A common approach is to find creative ways to break a large project into small pieces that can be "purchased" by the public. Some examples: • In Ashtabula, Ohio the local trail organization raised one-third of the money they needed to buy the land for the trail, by forming a "300 Club." Three hundred acres were needed for the trail and they set a goal of finding 300 folks who would finance one acre each. The land price was $400 an acre and they found just over 100 people to buy an honorary acre, raising over $40,000. • In Jackson County, Oregon they had a "Yard Sale."The Bear Creek Greenway Foundation sold symbolic "yards" of the trail and placed donor's names on permanent markers that are located at each trailhead. At $40 a yard, they raised enough in private cash donations to help match their $690,000 Transportation Enhancements program award for the 18-mile Bear Creek Trail linking Medford, Talent, Phoenix and Ashland. Adopted XX-XX-XX Draft Chapter 11—Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan Page 7 of 8 Appendix 3: Funding Sources City of Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Selling bricks for local sidewalk projects, especially those in historic areas or on downtown Main Streets, is increasingly common. Donor names are engraved in each brick, and a tremendous amount of publicity and community support is purchased along with basic construction materials. Portland, Oregon's downtown Pioneer Square is a good example of such a project. • In Colorado Springs, the Rock Island Rail-Trail is being partly funded by the Rustic Hills Improvement Association, a group of local home-owners living adjacent to the trail. Also, ten miles of the trail were cleared of railroad ties by a local boy scout troop. • A pivotal 40-acre section of the Ice Age Trail between the cities of Madison and Verona, Wisconsin, was acquired with the help of the Madison Area Youth Soccer Association. The soccer association agreed to a fifty year lease of 30 acres of the parcel for a soccer complex, providing a substantial part of the $600,000 acquisition price. Foundations A wide range of foundations have provided funding for bicycling and walking. A few national and large regional foundations have supported the national organizations involved in pedestrian and bicycle policy advocacy. However it is usually regional and local foundations that get involved in funding particular bicycle, pedestrian or trail projects. These same foundations may also fund statewide and local advocacy efforts as well. The best way to find such foundations is through the research and information services provided by the national Foundation Center (http://foundationcenter.org). They maintain a huge store of information including the guidelines and application procedures for most foundations, and their past funding records. Grant Writing Tips The following are some helpful tips for successful grant writing (e.g., for government grants and private foundations): 1. Read the directions and applications thoroughly. 2. Find out what projects were previously funded. 3. Obtain a copy of a successful application. 4. Find out who reviews the applications and talk to him or her; it may be an individual or a larger group. 5. Always include a picture and graphic that quickly conveys what is being asked for in the proposal. 6. Identify key words and concepts in the grant application and then use them in your narrative. 7. Convey a sense of urgency—for example, if funding is not obtained, something of value such as a rail corridor that will be lost. 8. Provide a timeline—demonstrate that the project is ready to go once funding is secured. 9. Focus on a tangible product — e.g., construct something, purchase some property, etc.; minimize the amount that goes for overhead and design. 10. Demonstrate that you are leveraging funds and that this is not the only funding source; no one wants to be a sole source of funds for a project or program. 11. Demonstrate community support through letters from neighborhood associations, advocacy groups, and local businesses.

Product of the City of Spokane Valley,Community Development Department CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: October 25, 2011 Department Director Approval: X Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business X new business ❑ public hearing ❑ information ❑ admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading of Ordinance No. 11-015 - levying 2012 regular property taxes and authorizing Spokane County to collect the tax on behalf of Spokane Valley. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State law. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2012 Budget development process there have been discussions regarding the 2012 property tax levy including a public hearing held on August 23rd where estimates of the City's 2012 revenues were discussed and an administrative report specifically addressing the 2012 property tax levy was presented. BACKGROUND: • State law requires the City to pass an ordinance in order to levy property taxes. • Based upon previous discussions with the City Council the 2012 levy will not reflect the 1% increase authorized by Initiative #747. • The levy will however include property taxes on new construction. • With the passage of this ordinance, the City will collect approximately $10,808,945.55 in 2012 which is computed as follows: 2011 Actual Levy 10,732,862.64 + % Increase 0.00 2012 Levy after increase 10,732,862.64 + Estimated new construction 76,082.91 Total estimated 2012 Levy 10,808,945.55 • The levy is based upon a preliminary estimate of assessed property values provided to the City by the Spokane County Assessor of$7,108,291,375. • Total property tax revenue of$10,808,945.55 on preliminary assessed values of$7,108,945.55 will produce a levy of approximately $1.5206 per$1,000 of assessed value in 2012. • It should be noted that these estimates are based upon the Assessor's latest preliminary projections of assessed value (as of 9/15/2011). A change in the assessed value and/or a change in the amount of our proposed levy will change the levy rate per $1,000. OPTIONS: Passage of this ordinance is required by law in order to levy 2012 property taxes. The Council could modify the ordinance to levy a greater or lesser property tax (but not greater than a 1% increase over the 2011 levy, plus new construction). RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve ordinance 11-015 levying regular property taxes for 2012. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance levies property taxes for the City's 2012 Budget where we anticipate property tax revenues to be approximately $10,808,900 or 31.0% of total General Fund recurring revenues of$34,908,800.

Initiative #747 authorizes the City to increase the levy by the lesser of the Implicit Price Deflator — 2.755% or 1 .0% Based upon direction from the Council the proposed 2012 levy will not reflect the 1 % increase authorized by Initiative #747. The levy will however include property taxes on new construction. 10/20/2011 2 Ordinance No . 11 -015 Setting 2012 Property Tax Levy 2012 Levy Computation: Begin with the 2011 actual levy Add new construction Total estimated 2012 levy $10,732,863 + 76,083 $10,808,946 Based upon a tax levy of $10,808,946 on assessed values of $7, 108,291 ,375, the 2012 levy rate would be $1 .5206 per $1 ,000. These figures are based upon updated information we received from the Spokane County Assessor's Office on September 15th, and differ from those presented on August 23rd. 10/20/2011 3 Ordinance No . 11 -015 Setting 2012 Property Tax Levy Change in 2012 Property Tax Revenue: 2011 Actual levy +% increase 2012 Levy after increase 10,736,863 + New construction 17,137 Total 2012 levy $10,750,000 $10,808,946 8/2 $10,732,863 • $10,732,863 0 0 10,732,863 76,083 Change in 2012 Property Tax Levy: ■ Preliminary assessed value $7,084,009,988 $7,108,291 ,375 10/20/2011 10/11/2011 Levy rate per $1 ,000 $1 .5175 $1 .5206 4 Ordinance No . 11 -015 Setting 2012 Property Tax Levy The Spokane County Assessor's Office will continue to update figures throughout the fall . Consequently, both the levy amount and rate per $1 ,000 will continue to be a moving target because: Assessed value figures have not been finalized. New construction figures have not been finalized. Regardless, the City of Spokane Valley levy will not increase other than through additional property taxes resulting from new construction. 10/20/2011 5 Ordinance No . 11 -016 Confirming 2012 Property Tax Levy State law requires the City to approve an initial ordinance levying 2012 property taxes and a second ordinance confirming the intent to take: A specific percentage increase or decrease, plus Property taxes on new construction Ordinance #11 -016 satisfies the requirement for the second confirming ordinance. We're aware that although the cost of delivering City services continues to increase, residents and businesses continue to be faced with a high unemployment rate and weak economy. Consequently, the City is proposing a 2012 property tax levy with a 0% change beyond the 2011 levy of $10,732,863, plus property taxes on new construction. 10/20/2011 6 CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY Request for Council Action Meeting Date: October 25, 2011 Department Director Approval: X Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business X_ new business 111 public hearing 111 information ❑admin. report ❑ pending legislation ❑ executive session AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Second reading of Ordinance No. 11-016 confirming the 2012 property tax levy with no percentage increase but adding new construction, improvements and assessment of State owned property. GOVERNING LEGISLATION: State law. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: Through the 2012 Budget development process there have been discussions regarding the 2012 property tax levy including a public hearing held on August 23rd where estimates of the City's 2012 revenues were discussed and an administrative report specifically addressing the 2012 property tax levy was presented. BACKGROUND: • State law requires the City to approve an initial ordinance levying 2012 property taxes and a second ordinance confirming the intent to take a specific percentage increase or decrease plus the addition of new construction, improvements and assessment of State owned property. • Although we are cognizant of the ever increasing cost of delivering City services we also realize a continuing high unemployment rate and weak economy make it difficult for City residents to make ends meet. Consequently, the City is proposing a 2012 property tax levy that does not include the 1% increase authorized through the passage of Initiative #747 by the voters of Washington State on November 6, 2001. OPTIONS: Passage of this ordinance is required by law in order to levy 2012 property taxes. The Council could modify the ordinance to levy a greater or lesser property tax (but not greater than a 1% increase over the 2011 levy, plus new construction). RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve ordinance 11-016 confirming the 2012 property tax levy. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: This ordinance confirms the 2012 property tax levy for the City's 2012 Budget where we anticipate property tax revenues to be approximately $10,808,900 or 31.0% of total General Fund recurring revenues of$34,908,800.

In a continuing trend of local and national economic challenge, the City of Spokane Valley has benefitted from a history of prudent financial decisions. Careful budgeting and restrained spending has left us almost unique among cities in providing a proposed balanced budget with neither service reductions nor tax increases. City Council has been heavily involved in the direction leading to this proposed budget by adopting strong, fiscally conservative policies and by working with staff throughout the process to ensure that both policy makers and administrative staff were in concert. Especially important to this process was a budget workshop on June 14, 2011. The draft budget worksheets were reviewed line by line and the impacts of proposed reductions were discussed in detail. The staff and Council solidified the basic fiscal policies (some carried over from 2011 and some new) which will determine the 2012 Budget and guide future spending practices. The Fiscal Policies adopted by the City Council are an extremely important element in this long range budget view. These policies appropriately dictate that if the economic situation deteriorates even more than anticipated, additional future reductions may be triggered. Such reductions were made in adopting the 2011 budget, and are not being restored. The current budget forecasts give us hope that future reductions or service cuts will not be necessary. That noted, elected officials and the staff remain committed to ensuring that service levels are commensurate with the revenue sources currently in place and to making adjustments if necessary to keep the City's finances healthy. The City also has reserves which may be needed in future years. With few exceptions for non- recurring expenses, we have not tapped into those reserves to balance our general fund. During each budget cycle, the City will review the reserve balance and determine if additional budget cuts will be more judicious than subsidizing the general fund through reserves. 1 1 0/1 8/1 1 Fiscal Policies Financial Management— The City proposes to: 1. Maintain basic service levels with reduced resources 2. Minimize personnel costs/overhead by continuing to contract for many services 3. Continue the 6-year Business Plan process 4. Leverage City funds with grant opportunities 5. Minimize City debt with a pay as you go philosophy • The State of Washington sets the maximum level of allowable debt for cities based on assessed value of property. The City of Spokane Valley currently utilizes only 1.52% of its total allowable debt capacity, and more importantly, only 7.61% of non-voted bond capacity. This is extremely low debt. Financial Objectives -The City's financial objectives through 2015 are: 1. Maintain a minimum general fund ending balance of 15% of revenues through 2015 2. Maintain the Service Level Stabilization Fund at the current level of $5.4 million through 2014 3. On an ongoing basis, transfer to the Street Capital Fund, 40% of the ending fund balance which exceeds $26 million. This will be done in the first quarter of each year following reconciliation of the previous year's books. This preserves the City's $26 million ending fund balance while also funding a portion of street capital projects from the General Fund. 4. Hold 2012 property taxes at essentially the same amount as the 2011 levy with no proposed increase in the levy other than for new construction. We anticipate this will result in a $10,808,900 levy in 2012. Commitment — By committing to these objectives, the City will ensure financial sustainability through 2015 and into the future. The City can achieve this by: 1. Capping 2012 recurring expenses to a maximum 1% increase over 2011. (Notably, 2012 expenditures have been reduced below 2011 levels). Challenges — Beyond the General Fund, the City of Spokane Valley has three primary financial concerns: 1. Funding the Street Preservation Plan to maintain City streets 2. Funding Street Capital projects 3. Funding Parks Capital projects 2 1 0/1 8/1 1 The new budget format for 2012 divides expenses into recurring and non-recurring categories. This was done to delineate the recurring or "ongoing" expenses of the City and to clearly show that current year recurring expenses are matched to current year revenues. Any/all use of the ending fund balance is specifically documented. Also, in deviation from the past, the 2012 proposed budget does not appropriate the ending fund balance in the general fund. This provides an added margin of security and will require formal council action to spend funds from the ending fund balance. Accompanied with this,we have proposed a 1% general fund contingency. Budget Highlights The 2012 Budget recognizes the economic realities of our times and the necessity to continue to operate within our financial means. The budget process has been used to reinforce the City's commitment to delivering its core services in a cost effective manner. A summary of key budget highlights for review by the Council and the community follows: Budget Reductions: Our 2012 General Fund budget recurring expenditures have decreased from 2011 by $164,186. This deserves recognition. We are essentially maintaining the same service levels - including no reduction in law enforcement - during a period of about 3.6 % inflation in June and July, while at the same time, we are funding important additions to our services such as the new 8 acre Greenacres City Park and televised council meetings. Staffing Levels: Staffing levels were reduced by 9.5 full-time and 2 temporary unfilled positions in 2011. For 2012 we remain at this same reduced level, operating a city of 90,1101 residents with a staff of 87.25 employees. Even taking into consideration that we contract for police services, and are served by Fire Districts and a Library District, we are operating substantially below the normal employee count for a major city. Cost of Living Adjustments: Union represented employees and employees who are not represented by the union- Local 270-V AFSME -will receive a 2.5% Cost of Living Adjustment in 2012. This amount was agreed to by the City in the 2010 — 2012 contract with union employees. The City has historically provided identical wage and benefit terms to non-represented employees; however, in 2011 non-represented employees did not receive an increase. The 2.5% matches the inflation trend over the past 20 years and was considered to be a prudent and reliable method of calculating cost of living increases and was preferred over a "floating" rate that would be determined each year. This methodology may change in future years. Street Capital Improvement Fund: Established in 2011, the current budgeted amount in this fund is $1,086,881. 1 Washington State Department of Financial Management,April 1,2011. 3 1 0/1 8/1 1 No Increase in Property Tax Levy: The City of Spokane Valley will hold its property tax levy equal with 2011. This decrease in the City's property tax levy is in recognition that the City understands the difficult financial times faced by our citizens. Moderate Growth in Current Operational Expenses: Investing in the essential core services identified by the Council and community creates baseline costs. Similar to the trend in most jurisdictions, costs and demands for service are growing while tax revenues are decreasing. Even with a relatively small city staff, quality service delivery requires ongoing investment in basic capacity to provide efficient operations. Moderate as it may be, operational expenses cannot continue to increase during declining or flat revenue. The City can either subsidize operational expenses with reserves, or husband their reserves and make additional budget reductions. Other Notable 2012 Budget Items Include: • The opening of Greenacres Park at Long and Boone in the spring of 2012 (paid for through direct appropriations of State funds and City capital funds). The 2012 budget reflects an increase of $100,000 to maintain this facility on an annual basis • Initiated by private citizens in 2010, the 2012 budget includes the first full year of televised City Council meetings with City equipment and contracted production costs of $46,000. The equipment was purchased through Comcast Public, Educational and Government funding. Public Safety Costs: In 2012, the Police, Court and Jail related services proposed budget is $22 million—an amount equal to 204% of anticipated property tax collections ($10,808,900) for the entire year. Council has made a commitment not to reduce public safety service levels and associated costs in 2012. 4 1 0/1 8/1 1 Progress on 2011 Budget Goals Include: • Continued Shoreline Master Program work as required by state law • Passage of HB 1922 requiring cattle trucks to go through the Washington Port of Entry • Support for Spokane Valley Partners in their successful bid for $100,000 from the Washington Legislature for a new sprinkler system in their facility • After reevaluation, the Sprague and Appleway Corridors Subarea Plan was removed from the Spokane Valley Comprehensive Plan • Monitoring of the wastewater goal will be complete by the end of this year if Spokane County is issued their Wastewater permit • The multi-year winter roads maintenance plan has been implemented which included the purchase of equipment and a maintenance facility • A range of options was discussed for a city hall at or near CenterPlace Challenges: Grants and Declining Matching Funds: City staff actively pursues funding commitments from other sources to help pay the cost of needed capital improvements—roads, bridges and parks—that benefit the community. The 2011 capital construction program totaled $11,525,343 with $5,538,819 (48%) coming from outside sources. The 2012 budget projects a total capital construction budget of$11,263,685 with $7,755,118 (65%) coming from outside sources. When the City applies for state and federal grants, the City must provide its share (match) for these projects. In the past, Real Estate Excise Tax was used for most of the City match. However, during the last five years, this tax has declined from $2.5 million to $1 million, leaving a potential shortage of local match depending on availability of Federal, State and Local grants. Local Street Maintenance Combination of Funding: This fund derives its revenues from an allocation of the State Motor Fuel Tax distributed to cities and towns, and a 6% city tax on telephone usage, estimated in 2012 at$1,897,800 and $3,000,000 respectively. There is also an anticipated $2,004,874 Beginning Fund Balance that will carry over into 2012. Therefore, the combination of Fuel Tax and Telephone Utility Tax is able to meet the ongoing need for these funds to pay for street maintenance activities like snow plowing, pothole repair, resurfacing eroded lanes, sweeping, weed control, street lighting, traffic signals and a variety of other repairs/improvements. While Fuel Tax and Telephone Utility Tax cover annual street maintenance, they do not provide for implementation of the Street Master Plan and therein lies the challenge. 5 1 0/1 8/1 1 In an attempt to determine how best to keep the surfaces and bases (underground support) of roads in proper condition, a Street Master Plan was prepared that itemizes the positive and negative conditions of our city street system, and identifies the repair needs and costs associated with maintaining our 437 miles of roadway. The report details the need for an additional annual investment of $4.3 million in street preservation work to keep the street system from deteriorating and triggering much more expensive repair work in the future. The Current Fiscal Year in Review The City purchased camera and broadcasting equipment and began televising Council meetings live via the Internet in 2011. The new system also stores council meetings on the City website for use by the citizens or staff. Residents and business people continue to provide city officials with their views on the broad range of issues related to economic development and land use regulations. A series of public meetings, Planning Commission meetings and Council actions were set in motion to review the Sprague/Appleway Revitalization Plan (SARP) and ultimately, the SARP was removed from the City's Comprehensive Plan. In addition, City codes such as signage, landscaping and others were reviewed to help support the development and retention of local business. The City also began exploring a more active role in the economic development of our City. The City Council welcomes public comments and works to balance the various interests expressed when enacting ordinances intended for the protection and enhancement of the quality of life in Spokane Valley. City representatives embrace continuous public participation, attend to a heavy workload, and take pleasure in achieving results that affect the community in positive ways. A review of the events and accomplishments of 2011 also reveals the following: • Funds were utilized from the Civic Facilities Fund to pay for full width paving and paving of gravel roads in conjunction with the County sewer projects in Spokane Valley. 2011 marked the last major construction year of the Septic Tank Replacement Program in Spokane Valley. • Council approved the purchase of a street and strormwater maintenance facility to house City operations. • Construction of a picnic shelter was completed in Terrace View Park. • Spokane Valley agreed to assist Airway Heights on an ongoing basis with plan reviews. • Several new businesses located in Spokane Valley in 2011. 6 1 0/1 8/1 1 The Budget for Fiscal Year 2012 Balanced Budget Adopted: One of the most important tests of fiscal management is the ability of a municipal enterprise to maintain basic services during an economic downturn. The creation and maintenance of financial reserves since incorporation have served their intended purpose and provided the opportunity for Spokane Valley to sustain critical public services during the turbulent economic conditions of 2011. The 2012 budget reflects a continuation of service delivery capabilities during difficult and uncertain economic times. The 2012 budget is in balance. Expenses have been balanced with known or reasonably predictable revenues. The budget is designed to maintain the healthy, positive fund balance at year end that provides for the city's cash flow needs without costly borrowing. In pursuit of fiscal responsibility, special attention was given to limiting the growth in new programs and financial commitments, while City revenue and expenditure patterns further fluctuate with the economy. This approach allows available resources to be put toward sustaining services that are consistent with the City Council's priorities for 2012 and beyond. Since incorporation, this City has taken a conservative approach to adding new staff. Spokane Valley continues to have the lowest employee count of any Washington city with 50,000 or more in population. A 2011 Work Force Comparison chart is included in the budget document. By all comparisons, the City of Spokane Valley is a lean, productive City government. Major Goal Statements for 2012: The 2012 budget reflects the distribution of resources consistent with the Council's core services priorities. The following goals, some of which are continued from 2011, represent broad areas of concentration important to the well being of the community: • Continue monitoring wastewater issues, including governance of wastewater facilities, and pursuit of the most efficient and economical methods to ensure the continuation of wastewater discharge licenses. • Pursue the topic of Solid Waste, to include identifying the issues and obtaining alternatives of joining the consortium or handling it ourselves and the consequences of each alternative. • Review and evaluate development regulations and compare with surrounding cities. • Develop a Shoreline Master Program to provide appropriate regulatory protection for waters of statewide significance as required by state statute. • Pursue a legislative capital budget request—to be identified. • Create an economic development plan including options for a new city hall. 7 1 0/1 8/1 1 Future Concepts: The budget process is not static and Council, the citizens, and staff must remain vigilant to watch for economic trends that impact current forecasts. Even as we adopt a 2012 budget, we must keep in mind the future economic opportunities and threats that may impact our multi-year forecast. An example of potential impacts and adaptive future concepts are as follows: • A commitment by Management to review all vacant positions prior to filling them. (In some cases, positions must be filled quickly due to workload.) • By all indications, the economic recovery of the U.S. and its collective states, counties and cities will be a slow and deliberate process. The City of Spokane Valley does not predict measureable growth in property tax or sales tax revenues through 2015 and we are budgeting with that in mind. • Because it represents about 63% of the General Fund budget, achieving future budget reductions without impacting Law Enforcement and other Public Safety services will be challenging. Acknowledgments: I would like to acknowledge the City Council and the Staff for a long history of conservative spending and prudent fiscal planning. The City of Spokane Valley is in an enviable position in relation to other Federal, State and local entities. We are not facing 2012 budget shortfalls. Although we must continue to budget and spend wisely, we do not have to make drastic cuts in services to balance our 2012 budget. By saving and conserving the taxpayers' money, and by adopting prudent long-term fiscal policies, the City can balance its budget for many years to come. This is something which is easy to say, but hard to do. Even harder is to forgo property tax increases in the face of declining revenues. However, the City Council felt this reduction was important to reflect to the citizens that we are a City that understands and appreciates the difficult economic times we all face together. Finally, I would like to say how rewarding it has been to work with the City Council and the staff in developing the budget, achieving substantial reductions and exceeding expectations for budget reductions in 2012. The City Council and the Finance Committee have set a path to ensure the long-term financial sustainability of the City. The management staff and employees have worked together to develop Business Plans and 2012 budget recommendations that achieve Council's goal of sustainability. We continue to demonstrate in difficult financial times that we can work together as an organization in the best interest of the citizens. Respectfully, Mike Jackson City Manager 8 1 0/1 8/1 1 S pokane 410000 \TaIle 11707 E Sprague Ave Suite 106 • Spokane Valley WA 99206 509.921.1000 • Fax: 509.921.1008 • cityhall@spokanevalley.org TO: City Manager and Members of the City Council FROM: Mark Calhoun,Finance Director SUBJECT: About the 2012 Budget and Budget Development Process The budget includes the financial planning and legal authority to obligate public funds. Additionally, the budget provides significant policy direction by the City Council to the staff and community. As a result, the City Council, staff and public are involved in establishing the budget for the City of Spokane Valley. The budget serves four functions: 1. It is a Policy Document The budget functions as a policy document in that the decisions made within the budget will reflect the general principles or plans that guide the actions taken for the future.As a policy document,the budget makes specific attempts to link desired goals and policy direction to the actual day-to-day activities of the City staff. 2. It is an Operational Guide The budget of the City reflects its operation. Activities of each City function and organization have been planned, debated, formalized, and described in the following sections. This process will help to maintain an understanding of the various operations of the City and how they relate to each other and to the attainment of the policy issues and goals of the City Council. 3. It is a Link with the General Public The budget provides a unique opportunity to allow and encourage public review of City operations. The budget describes the activities of the City,the reason or cause for those activities,future implications, and the direct relationship to the citizenry. 4. It is a Legally Required Financial Planning Tool The budget is a financial planning tool, which has been its most traditional use. In this light, preparing and adopting a budget is a State law requirement of all cities as stated in Title 35A of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW). The budget must be adopted as a balanced budget and must be in place prior to the beginning of the City's fiscal year. The budget is the legal authority to expend public moneys and controls those expenditures by limiting the amount of the appropriation at the fund level. The revenues of the City are estimated, along with available cash carry-forward,to indicate funds available. The budget takes into account unforeseen contingencies and provides for the need for periodic adjustments. 9 10/18/11 2012 BUDGET DEVELOPMENT PROCESS Historically the City has utilized a budgeting approach that assumed for most functions of government that the current year's budget was indicative of the base required for the following year. However, with the downturn in the economy and resultant reduction in revenues (most notably the decline in sales taxes), both the 2011 and 2012 Budget development processes were amended to consciously review service levels in each department and determine the appropriate level of funding that meets Council goals relative to available resources. The 2012 Budget development process began at the February 8, 2011 Council Retreat where among other topics, Council and Staff discussed the budget in general terms. In early April 2011 the Finance Department notified City Departments that their 2012 revenue and expenditure estimates were due by May 6. Through the balance of May and early June, the Finance Department then worked to prepare budget worksheets that were communicated to the City Council at a Budget Retreat held on June 14, 2011. Following the retreat,the Finance Department continued work on the budget including refinements of revenue and expenditure estimates and through July and early August the Finance Department and City Manager reviewed updated budget projections. By the time the 2012 Budget is scheduled to be adopted on November 15, 2011,the Council will have had an opportunity to discuss it on eight separate occasions, including three public hearings to gather input from citizens: June 14 Council Budget Retreat August 9 Administrative Report: Estimated 2012 revenues and expenditures August 23 Public hearing on 2012 revenues September 6 City Manager's presentation of preliminary 2012 Budget September 27 Public hearing#1 on 2012 Budget October 11 Public hearing#2 on 2012 Budget October 25 First reading of proposed ordinance adopting the 2012 Budget November 15 Second reading of proposed ordinance adopting the 2012 Budget Once adopted,the final operating budget is published,distributed,and made available to the public during the first three months of the following year. After the budget is adopted, the City enters a budget implementation and monitoring stage. Throughout the year, expenditures are monitored by the Finance Department and department directors to ensure that funds are within the approved budget. Finance provides the City Council with monthly reports to keep them current with the City's financial condition. Any budget amendments made during the year are adopted by City Council ordinance. The City Manager is authorized to transfer budgeted amounts within a fund; however, any revisions that alter the total expenditures of a fund, or that affect the number of authorized employee positions, salary ranges or other conditions of employment must be approved by the City Council. When the City Council determines that it is in the best interest of the City to increase or decrease the appropriation for a particular fund, it may do so by ordinance adopted by Council after holding one public hearing. 10 10/18/11 BUDGET PRINCIPLES • Department directors have primary responsibility for formulating budget proposals in line with City Council and City Manager priority direction,and for implementing them once they are approved. • The Finance Department is responsible for coordinating the overall preparation and administration of the City's budget. This function is fulfilled in compliance with applicable State of Washington statutes governing local government budgeting practices. • The Finance Department assists department staff in identifying budget problems, formulating solutions and alternatives,and implementing any necessary corrective actions. • Interfund charges will be based on recovery of costs associated with providing those services. • Budget adjustments requiring City Council approval will occur through the ordinance process at the fund level prior to fiscal year end. • The City's budget presentation will be directed at displaying the City's services plan in a Council/constituent friendly format. • Short term debt shall not exceed 10% of revenues. No long term debt will be incurred without identification of a revenue source to repay the debt. Long term debt will be incurred for capital purposes only. • The City will strive to maintain equipment replacement funds in an amount necessary to replace the equipment at the end of its useful life. Life cycle assumptions and required contributions will be reviewed annually as part of the budget process. New operations in difficult economic times may make it difficult to fund this principle in some years. • The City will pursue an ending general fund balance at a level of no less than 15%of revenue. BASIS OF ACCOUNTING AND BUDGETING Accounting Accounting records for the City are maintained in accordance with methods prescribed by the State Auditor under the authority of the Revised Code of Washington (RCW), Chapter 43.09.20, and in compliance with generally accepted accounting principles as set forth by the Governmental Accounting Standards Board. Basis of Presentation-Fund Accounting The accounts of the City of Spokane Valley are organized on the basis of funds,each of which is considered a separate accounting entity. Each fund is accounted for with a separate set of double-entry accounts that comprise its assets, liabilities, fund equity, revenues and expenditures or expenses, as appropriate. The City's resources are allocated to and accounted for in individual funds depending on their intended purpose. The following are the fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley: Governmental Fund Types Governmental funds are used to account for activities typically associated with state and local government operations. All governmental fund types are accounted for on a spending or "financial flows" measurement focus, which means that typically only current assets and current liabilities are included on related balance sheets. The operating statements of governmental funds measure changes in financial position,rather than net income. They present increases(revenues and other fmancing sources) and decreases (expenditures and other 11 1 0/1 8/1 1 financing uses) in net current assets. There are four governmental fund types used by the City of Spokane Valley: 1. General Fund This fund is the primary fund of the City of Spokane Valley. It accounts for all financial resources except those required or elected to be accounted for in another fund. 2. Special Revenue Funds These funds account for revenues that are legally restricted or designated to finance particular activities of the City of Spokane Valley. Special Revenue funds include the Street Fund, Arterial Street Fund, Trails & Paths Fund, Hotel/Motel Fund, CenterPlace Operating Reserve Fund, Service Level Reserve Fund, Civic Facilities Reserve Fund,and Winter Weather Reserve Fund. 3. Debt Service Funds These funds account for financial resources which are designated for the retirement of debt. Debt Service Funds are comprised of the Debt Service LTGO 03. 4. Capital Project Funds These funds account for financial resources, which are designated for the acquisition or construction of general government capital projects. Capital Project Funds include the Capital Project Fund, Special Capital Projects Fund, Streets Capital Projects Fund, CDBG Fund, Capital Grants Fund, Barker Bridge Federal Grant Fund,and Parks Capital Projects Fund. Proprietary Fund Types Proprietary funds are used to account for activities similar to those found in the private sector where the intent of the governing body is to finance the full cost of providing services, including depreciation, which based on the commercial model uses a flow of economic resources approach. Under this approach, the operating statements for the proprietary funds focus on a measurement of net income (revenues and expenses) and both current and non-current assets and liabilities are reported on related balance sheets. Their reported fund equity (net total assets) is segregated into contributed capital and retained earnings components.As described below,there are two generic fund types in this category: 1. Enterprise Funds These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to the general public and are supported primarily by user charges. The Stormwater Management Fund is included in this group of funds. 2. Internal Service Funds These funds account for operations that provide goods or services to other departments or funds of the City. The Equipment Rental and Replacement Fund and Risk Management Fund are included in this group of funds. Basis of Accounting Basis of accounting refers to when revenues and expenditures are recognized in the accounts and reported in the financial statements. The City of Spokane Valley uses a modified accrual basis of accounting for all governmental funds. Modified accrual recognizes revenues when they become both measurable and available to finance expenditures of the current period. The basis of accounting for enterprise and internal service funds is full accrual where revenues and expenses are recognized in the period incurred rather than when cash is either received or disbursed. The appropriate basis is used throughout the budgeting, accounting,and reporting processes. 12 10/18/11 In this method, for example, an asset is depreciated as it is "used up," and the expense is recognized in periodic increments, rather than assuming the asset holds its value until it is actually disposed of. However, since the focus of budgeting is on the revenue and expense accounts, depreciation and amortization are not considered budgetary accounts,and are excluded from the budgeting system. Budgets and Budgetary Accounting Annual appropriated budgets are adopted for all funds. These funds are budgeted on the modified cash basis of accounting. The financial statements include budgetary comparisons for those funds. Budgets are adopted at the fund level that constitutes the legal authority for expenditures. Annual appropriations for all funds lapse at the fiscal period end. EXPLANATION OF MAJOR REVENUE SOURCES General Fund • Property Tax Property taxes play an essential role in the finances of the municipal budget. State law limits the City to a $3.60 levy per $1,000 assessed valuation, deducting from there the levy of$1.50 by the Spokane County Fire Districts #1 and #8, along with deducting $0.50 for library levies, which leaves the City with the authority to levy $1.60 for its own purposes. The levy amount must be established by ordinance by November 30th prior to the levy year. • Local Retail Sales and Use Tax The local retail sales and use tax is comprised of two separate .5% options for a total of 1.0%. The Washington State Department of Revenue disburses 15% of the City sales tax to Spokane County, and 85%to the City. • Criminal Justice Sales Tax Local Sales Tax for Criminal Justice funding is to be used solely for criminal justice purposes, such as the City's law enforcement contract. This tax is authorized at 1/10 of 1% of retail sales transacted in the County. Of the total amount collected, the State distributes 10% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and cities within the County. • Public Safety Sales Tax Beginning in 2005, an additional .1% voter approved increase in sales tax was devoted to public safety purposes. This .1%was approved by the voters again in August 2009. Of the total amount collected,the State distributes 60% of the receipts to Spokane County, with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County. • Gambling Tax Gambling tax revenues must be spent primarily on law enforcement purposes pertaining to gambling. Funds remaining after necessary expenditures for such enforcement purposes may be used for any general government purpose. Gambling taxes are to be paid quarterly to the City, no later than the last day of January, April, July and October. The City imposes a tax on the following forms of gambling at the following rates: Bingo (5% gross, less prizes); Raffles (5% gross, less prizes); Games (2% gross, less prizes); Card playing (10% gross). • Leasehold Excise Tax Taxes on property owned by state or local governments and leased to private parties(City's share). 13 10/18/11 • Franchise Fees Cable TV is the only franchise fee levied in the City at a rate of 5%of gross revenues. This is a fee levied on private utilities for the right to use city streets,alleys,and other public properties. • State-Shared Revenues State-shared revenues are received from liquor sales, and motor vehicle excise taxes. These taxes are collected by the State of Washington and shared with local governments based on population. State- shared revenues are distributed on either a monthly or quarterly basis, although not all quarterly revenues are distributed in the same month of the quarter. • The 2011 population figure used in the 2012 Preliminary Budget is 90,110 as reported by the Office of Financial Management for Washington State on April 1,2011. This figure is important when determining distribution of State shared revenues on a per capita basis. • Liquor Board Profits and Liquor Excise Tax Since cities are responsible for the policing of liquor establishments located within their limits, but are precluded from taxing them because of the State liquor monopoly, State law provides that a share of the State-collected profits and taxes be returned to cities to help defray policing costs. Liquor Board profits consist of the difference between revenue generated by the Washington State Liquor Control Board and the board's expenditures, specific revenues collected for a dedicated purpose, and administrative fees attributable to specific licensees that serve hard alcohol. Revenues are generated from sales at State liquor stores, taxes collected on wine and beer manufacture and distribution, licensee fees, alcohol related permit fees, penalties, and forfeitures. Liquor profits are divided among the State, counties and cities. Cities get a 40% share, with additional amount distributed to border area cities. These funds are distributed on the last days of March,June, September and December. • Cities also receive 28% of the liquor excise tax receipts. These funds are distributed on the last days of January,April,July and October. • Service Revenues Fees are charged for services rendered by the City of Spokane Valley. Most of the fees in the General Fund are construction inspections and permits related to services such as planning,zoning and building. • Fines and Forfeitures Fines and penalties are collected as a result of Municipal Court rulings and other miscellaneous rule infractions. All court fines and penalties are shared with the State, with the City, on average, retaining less than 50%of the amount collected. • Recreation Program Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for selected recreation programs. These fees offset direct costs related to providing the program. • CenterPlace Fees The Parks and Recreation Department charges fees for use of CenterPlace. Uses include regional meetings, weddings, receptions and banquets. Rental rooms include classrooms, the great room and dining rooms. 14 10/18/11 • Investment Interest The City earns investment interest on sales tax money held by the State of Washington prior to their distribution of the taxes to the City as well as on City initiated investments. Street Fund • Motor Vehicle Fuel Excise Tax(gas tax) The State of Washington collects a $.3750 per gallon motor vehicle fuel tax at the pump and remits $.0296 of the tax back to cities based on population. In 2012 the Municipal Research and Services Center estimates the per capita distribution back to cities will be $21.15 per person. Based upon a City of Spokane Valley population of 90,110 (per the Washington State Office of Financial Management on April 1, 2011)we anticipate the City will collect $1,905,800 in 2012. With the exception of.42% of the collections which must go towards paths and trails activities, all motor vehicle fuel taxes are credited to the Street Fund. • Telephone Utility Tax The City of Spokane Valley levied a 6% telephone utility tax via Ordinance #08-014 with collections beginning in 2009. Companies providing this service pay the tax to the City monthly. Telephone tax has been estimated at$3 million for 2011. Paths& Trails Fund Cities are required to spend .42% of the motor vehicle fuel tax receipts on paths and trails. Because the amount collected in any given year is relatively small it is typical to accumulate State distributions for several years until adequate dollars are available for a project. Hotel/Motel Tax Fund The City imposes a 2% tax under RCW 67.28.180 on all charges made for the furnishing of lodging at hotels, motels, and similar establishments (including bed and breakfasts and RV parks) for a continuous period of less than one month. The tax is taken as a credit against the 6.5 percent state sales tax, so that the total tax that a patron pays in retail sales tax and hotel/motel tax combined is equal to the retail sales tax in the jurisdiction. The revenues generated by this tax may be used solely for paying for tourism promotion and for the acquisition and/or operation of tourism-related facilities. Debt Service Fund—LTGO 03: The City issued$9,430,000 in limited tax general obligation bonds(LTGO)in 2003. Of this total: • $7,000,000 of the proceeds were used to finance the construction of CenterPlace at Mirabeau Point. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 30-year period ending December 1, 2033. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by the Spokane Public Facilities District. • $2,430,000 of the proceeds were used to finance Road and Street Improvements near CenterPlace. These bonds will be paid off in annual installments over the 20-year period ending December 1, 2023. Annual debt service payments on these bonds are provided by equal distributions from the 1st and 2nd quarter percent real estate excise tax.

SIGNIFICANT ASSUMPTIONS IN THE 2012 BUDGET Budget Summary for All Funds • The 2012 budget presumes service levels that are consistent with those provided in 2011 with neither significant enhancements nor reductions in any area of operations. • Total appropriations for all City Funds of$57.0 million including$11.3 million in capital expenditures. • Budgets will be adopted across 21 separate funds. • The budget will include a new Aquifer Protection Area Fund. • The full-time equivalent(FTE)employee count will remain unchanged from 2011 at 87.25 employees. • 2012 operating expenditures have been held at or below 1%over 2011. • Positions and salary ranges are based on the City's compensation and classification plan. • Employee benefit amounts are based on employee benefit plans. • Contract costs for public safety,park maintenance,aquatics and street maintenance are based on estimates by City staff. • State required retirements costs(PERS)are included in the budget and additionally the City has set aside $50,000 to offset future State required increases. • The Street Fund budget includes an additional$500,000 for street preservation plus an additional $100,000 to be set aside for future replacements of snow plows. 2012 General Fund Revenues • Total recurring 2012 revenues are estimated at$34,908,800 as compared to $34,827,125 in 2011. • The two largest sources of revenue continue to be Sales Tax and Property Tax which are collectively estimated to account for 77%of 2012 General Fund revenues. • Sales Tax is estimated at$16.2 million which is identical to 2011. • The Property Tax levy will not include the 1%increase authorized by the voters in November 2001 through their approval of Initiative #747 and the subsequent action by the State Legislature in November 2007. o The 2012 levy is estimated at$10,808,900. o The levy assumes we start with the 2011 levy of$10,732,863 and add taxes related to new construction of$76,083. o Based upon a tax levy of$10,808,900 on assessed values of$7,108,291,375 (the most recent figure provided by the Spokane County Assessor's Office)the 2012 levy rate would be $1.5206 per$1,000 of assessed value. • Franchise fees and business registrations are primarily based on projected receipts in 2011. 17 10/18/11 • Liquor excise taxes and Liquor Board profits are based upon per capita distribution figures reported by the Municipal Research and Services Center. Initiative #1183 that will come before the voters of Washington State on November 8,2011 seeks to privatize the distribution and sale of liquor in Washington. It is believed the initiative will have no impact on liquor excise taxes and based upon a fiscal impact statement prepared by the Washington Office of Financial Management it appears 2012 Liquor Board profits will not be impacted either. • Fines and forfeitures are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historical collections. • Building permit and land use fees are estimated by Spokane Valley and based on historic collections. 2012 General Fund Expenditures • The total recurring 2012 expenditure budget is$34,660,900 as compared to $34,825,086 in 2011. This reflects a decrease of$164,186. If expenditures had increased by 1%they would have grown by $348,251 and this coupled with the actual decrease of$164,186 means the budget is$512,437 less than our goal of no more than a 1%increase. • The 2012 budget presumes service levels that are consistent with those provided in 2011 with neither significant enhancements nor reductions in any area of operations. • 2012 Nonrecurring expenditures are $189,000 as compared to $2.8 million in 2011. o Included in 2012 are: • A$346,600 Contingency/Emergency appropriation that is approximately equal to 1%of recurring expenditures. This money would only be expended with prior approval of the Council. • An $89,000 transfer to Fund#303—Street Capital Projects Fund. • A$100,000 transfer to Fund#309—Parks Capital Projects Fund. o Included in 2011 were: • $1.5 million in transfers for the full paveback program. • $1.084 million in transfers for street preservation. • $146,000 for building permit software. Other Funds • Motor vehicle fuel tax(MVFT)revenue that is collected by the State and remitted to the City is estimated to be $1,905,800 according to per capita estimates provided by the Municipal Research and Services Center. Of this amount, $1,897,800 will be credited to the Street O&M Fund and.42%or$8,000 to the Paths and Trails Fund. • Telephone taxes that are remitted to the City and support Street Fund operations and maintenance are anticipated at$3,000,000. • Real estate excise tax(REET)revenue is computed by the City and is primarily used to match grant funded street projects as well as pay a portion of the annual payment on the 2003 general obligation bonds. In 2012 we estimate these revenues to be $950,000. • Hotel/Motel tax revenues are computed by the City and are dedicated to the promotion of visitors and tourism. In 2012 we estimate these revenues to be $430,000. • The Stomwater Management Fee is based on an equivalent residential unit(ERU)that is equal to 3,160 square feet of impervious surface that is billed at a rate of$21 per single family residence and$21 per ERU for commercial properties(an ERU for a commercial property is computed as total square feet of impervious surface divided by 3,160). 18

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 35A.47.040 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None. BACKGROUND: Spokane County and the Bonneville Power Administration formed a franchise agreement on January 9, 1959 to "construct, operate and maintain one or more electric power transmission circuits with appurtenant fixture across, over and upon the right of way of the county road or roads." This agreement was for a period of 50 years expiring on January 9, 2009. The City inherited this franchise upon incorporation. Because the franchise is expired, the City needs to sign a new franchise agreement. Staff has been in negotiations with BPA to renew the franchise agreement. The new agreement is a franchise to: Install, locate, construct, maintain, repair, reconstruct, upgrade, operate, use, patrol, and, if necessary, remove electrical transmission facilities along with lines of poles or structures and appurtenances thereto, supporting conductors of one or more electric circuits of any voltage and any communication lines or equipment and appurtenances thereto ("Transmission System"), in, on, under, upon, over, along, across or through the roads, highways, streets, alleys, bridges, rights-of-way. This franchise agreement is different from franchises with private utilities because it is a franchise with the federal government. Typically in franchises with private utilities, the City requires insurance to limit the City's liability if damages are caused from the franchise. Local jurisdictions are precluded by federal law from requiring such provisions from the federal government in franchise agreements. The City will need to publish a copy of the franchise in the newspaper prior to adoption at BPA's cost. Staff recommends approval of the proposed franchise. OPTIONS: Council can approve the franchise, or request changes. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move that we advance Ordinance 11-018 authorizing execution of an electrical transmission franchise with BPA, to a second reading.

The Spokane County Engineers review fee ranges from $40 to $60 per hour. ❑ The examples demonstrate the fees charged by the City of Spokane Valley are considerably lower when compared to Spokane County and City of Spokane fees. ❑ The fees charged by the City of Spokane have not been raised since 2008, but it is our understanding they are considering a fee increase.

Stone, CPRP, Director of Parks and Recreation Date: October 18, 2011 Re: Park & Recreation Fee Comparison Attached to this memo is a comparison of park & recreation fees from the City of Spokane, Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley. CenterPlace, with the majority of our fees, is unique to both the City and County and therefore there are really not any comparisons. The fee comparison focuses on park reservations, aquatic fees and field rentals. The attachment has tried to group similar fees between the three agencies. The bottom line for the City of Spokane Valley is that our fees are extremely competitive and in a majority of cases less than both the City of Spokane and Spokane County. If you have questions or need additional information, please let me know.

The inter local agreement signed between the City of Spokane Valley and the Spokane Valley Department section five states: "The CITY shall pay the DISTRICT the costs for Services provided under this Agreement as set forth in Exhibit 1, attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference." These fees have not increased since 2009. If there is a need to update these fees every year by a smaller percent increase, I'm sure that language could be worked out. How do our fees for plan review services compare to other local jurisdictions? The City of Spokane Fire Department bases their fees on the valuation of the work being done. Spokane County has a flat fee regardless of the size of the review. Your Fire Department has chosen to adopt a method that evaluates each device or system for the basis of our fees. This method seemed to actually reflect the cost of performing the service. Recent example: a 25 fire sprinkler head addition to an existing system submitted at the end of September 2011 with a project valuation of$5200 would cost: City of Spokane: $503.25 Spokane County: $406.99 Spokane Valley Fire Department: $244.00 and that includes our proposed increase for 2012. These fees also include the site inspections of the permitted work.

BACKGROUND: The Legislative session in Olympia will convene on January 9, 2012. In the past, the City Council has considered various legislative items to promote with the Legislature. OPTIONS: 1. Discuss the amended 2011 - 2013 Legislative Agenda. 2. Revise the proposed amended agenda. 3. Give the matter further thought. 4. Approve the Agenda. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve the proposed revised 2011 - 2013 Legislative Agenda. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: STAFF CONTACT: Mike Jackson ATTACHMENTS: 1) Draft 2011 - 2013 Amended Legislative Agenda DRAFT FOR OCTOBER 25, 2011 COUNCIL MEETING Spokane Valley 2011-13 Legislative Agenda The following is the City of Spokane Valley's 2011-2013 legislative agenda, adopted by Council at their October 26, 2010 Council meeting, amended by Council Consensus at their November 16, 2010 meeting, the December 28,2010 meeting;and at the Council's October 25,2011 meeting: Principle Items of Interest: Budget Request: 1. Seek Funding to Acquire Park Land Adjacent to Park Road Pool and Centennial Middle School. The City of Spokane Valley has a population of 89,440 people, but only 172 acres of public parks— drastically below the 6.25-10.5 acres/1,000 population(559-938 acres) specified in the City Parks Master Plan. In the past, Spokane Valley has successfully partnered with the State Legislature to acquire and develop Greenacres Park, adjacent to Central Valley School District's future elementary school. A similar opportunity presents itself with Park Road Pool. The City requests $300,000 in funding to acquire land adjacent to Park Road Pool for a park near Centennial Middle School. Policy Requests: 1. Protect the state shared revenues the City receives. The City of Spokane Valley encourages the state to preserve local state-shared revenues. During the 2011 Legislative Session, these funds were cut 3.4%. Moving forward, the City requests that the funds remain intact. These funds include the Liquor Excise Tax Account, Liquor Revolving Account, Streamlined Sales Tax Mitigation, Municipal Criminal Justice Assistance Account, and City-County Assistance Account. 2. Additional Lien Authority to Recoup Code Enforcement Costs. The City of Spokane Valley seeks legislation to provide cities with additional tools to recoup costs for enforcing code compliance when a court order is issued and a city performs the abatement itself or through a contractor. This is anticipated to include enacting lien authority similar to a tax lien,including the authority to execute such a lien in the following year. 3. State Environmental Policy Act–Amend Certain Requirements Imposed by State Law. The City supports amending SEPA requirements to make the process less duplicative. SEPA thresholds to consider: (1)Convert some discretionary SEPA exemptions to categorically exempt; (2) Raise the level of SEPA exemptions across the board; (3) Make most actions within UGAs categorically exempt with discretion given to cities; (4) Eliminate excessive costs associated with providing notice for every Determination of Non-significance and Mitigated Determination of Non-Significance application. 4. Support the Association of Washington Cities'legislative agenda items that serve the best interests of the City of Spokane Valley.

The jurisdictions which contribute are: Spokane Transit, Spokane County, City of Spokane, WSDOT and the City of Spokane Valley. The requested amount from these jurisdictions is for a 15% increase in Calendar Year (CY) local contributions. The City of Spokane Valley's CY 2011 local contribution was $19,300. A 15% increase of this amount for the City would be $2,895. OPTIONS: RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Move to approve payment for the emergency one- time additional 15% increase of$2,895 to SRTC. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Spending an amount more than anticipated will require no additional appropriations. The City has money within the 2011 budget.

Sprague, Suite 106 Spokane Valley,WA 99206 Dear Mayor Towey: On October 13, 2011, the SRTC Board unanimously passed a motion to request a 15%.increase in Calendar Year (CY) local contributions from our financially participating agencies. While the Board recognizes the difficult financial climate faced by our member agencies, this emergency request for additional funds has been made necessary by a number of unanticipated expenses that have occurred throughout the past year. For the City of Spokane Valley, your CY 2011 local contribution was $19,300. A 15% Increase for this amount would be $2,895, With this letter, I am requesting that the City of Spokane Valley consider an additional$2;895 in local contributions for CY 2011, We appreciate your consideration on this matter. Because of the time sensitive nature of this issue, the SRTC Board also requested that you provide a response back to me as soon as possible, and no later than the next regularly scheduled Board meeting on November 10,2011. Please feel free to contact me by telephone at(509) 343-6382 or by email at kwallaeejsrtc.org if you have any questions about this request.

GOVERNING LEGISLATION: RCW 39.34 PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: October 18, 2011 discussion regarding the proposed extension. BACKGROUND: The City executed an interlocal agreement (Interlocal Agreement (Ch.39.34 RCW) Between the City of Spokane, Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley Re: Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System) with all other municipal jurisdictions in Spokane County, as well as Spokane County, in 2003 to participate in the Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System (System). Our agreement expires on December 1, 2011, when Spokane will pay off the outstanding bonds on the Waste to Energy Plant and other System improvements. Most of the other surrounding jurisdictions (except Liberty Lake) have similar interlocal agreements for participation in the System that expire in 2014. It is anticipated that Spokane and Spokane County will enter into an agreement for the operation of the Waste to Energy facility until November 16, 2014, which is also the date identified on the attached three year extension as the new expiration date. Between now and November, 2014, staff from the various jurisdictions will work together on analyzing long-term options for solid waste disposal. Spokane County approved the extension at its meeting on October 18, 2011. The City of Spokane has it scheduled for final approval on Monday, October 24, 2011. OPTIONS: Do nothing and the agreement will expire; authorize staff to execute the proposed amendment to the solid waste interlocal to extend it until November 16, 2014. RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: I move that we authorize staff to execute the proposed amendment to the Interlocal Agreement (Ch.39.34 RCW) Between the City of Spokane, Spokane County and the City of Spokane Valley Re: Spokane Regional Solid Waste Management System, thereby extending the agreement until November 16, 2014.

No action has been taken on the distribution of 2012 hotel/motel tax receipts thus far this year. BACKGROUND: In 2003 the City implemented a 2% hotel/motel tax, the proceeds of which are used to promote conventions and tourist travel to our City. The organizations to which the tax proceeds are distributed are ultimately determined by the City Council who receives a nonbinding recommendation from the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee. The Advisory Committee is comprised of five members who are appointed by the City Council and the Committee membership must include: • At least two representatives of businesses that are required to collect the tax, • At least two people who are involved in activities that are authorized to be funded by the tax, and • One elected city official who serves as chairperson of the Committee The Advisory Committee makes its recommendations based upon a combination of written application materials and a presentation that is made to them by each applicant. On October 13, 2011, the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee met to consider application materials and presentations from applicants for a portion of the City's 2% hotel/motel tax receipts in 2012 which are estimated to be $430,000 in 2012. Presentations were made by the HUB, Spokane Regional Sports Commission, Valleyfest and Spokane Valley Heritage Museum. Following the presentations and Advisory Committee discussion, the following awards were recommended to be advanced to the City Council for consideration: HUB 42,600 Sports Commmission 185,000 Museum 3,900 231,500 Additionally, the Advisory Committee voted in favor of a second round of funding requests to culminate in mid-January 2012 applicant presentations and Committee award recommendations. OPTIONS: The recommendations of the Lodging Tax Advisory Committee are advisory in nature and nonbinding to the Council. The City Council may accept the recommendations in whole or in part. P:IClerklAgendaPackets for Weblagendapacket 10-25-1111tem 13 RCA Admin Rprt on LTAC mtg.docx RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: No action is required at this time. This topic will come back before the City Council on November 15, 2011, when a motion consideration will be requested. BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: The 2012 Proposed Budget includes an appropriation of $430,000 of hotel/motel tax monies from Fund #105 including $30,000 for CenterPlace advertising and $400,700 for distribution to applicants. STAFF CONTACT: Mark Calhoun ATTACHMENTS: Minutes of October 13, 2011, Lodging Tax Advisory Committee meeting. P:IClerklAgendaPackets for Weblagendapacket 10-25-1111tem 13 RCA Admin Rprt on LTAC mtg.docx CITY OF SPOKANE VALLEY, WA Lodging Tax Advisory Committee Minutes of Meeting held October 13, 2011 The meeting was called to order at 8:35 a.m. In attendance were Jeff Fiman, Peggy Doering, Doug Kelley, Lee Cameron, Brenda Grassel, Sarah Farr, Mark Calhoun, Phil Champlin (HUB), Eric Sawyer (Spokane Regional Sports Commission), Denise Paulings (Unlimited Marketing for Valleyfest), Jayne Singleton and Herman Meier (Spokane Valley Heritage Museum), Keith Backsen (Spokane Regional CVB). Mark Calhoun opened the meeting with introductions and an overview of the agenda and explained that the meeting was open to the public. He provided a brief description related to the financial information included in the Committee packet, and discussed the estimated lodging tax proceeds available for 2012. He noted that 2012 lodging tax receipts were estimated to be approximately $430,000 and that $30,000 had been budgeted to go towards CenterPlace advertising. He also noted that the estimated fund balance of the Hotel/Motel Tax at the end of 2011 would likely be approximately $220,000. The Committee then discussed whether CenterPlace should receive money without having to follow the application process. It was noted that in 2010 the Committee agreed that CenterPlace should follow the same process as the other applicants and that consequently they did not apply for 2011 money. The Committee went on to discuss their intentions of recommending the allocation of some funds now, holding back some of the money, and meeting again in a second round later in the year to distribute remaining funds. They also discussed spending down a portion of the Hotel/Motel Tax Fund reserves below the 2011 yearend estimate of$220,000. This is partially in response to the State of Washington eliminating all tourism funding from its fiscal year 2012 Budget that began July 1, 2011. Applicant Presentations: • 9:00 HUB - Phil Champlin • 9:30 Spokane Regional Sports Commission - Eric Sawyer • 10:00 Valleyfest - Peggy Doering and Denise Paulings • 10:55 Spokane Valley Heritage Museum - Jayne Singleton and Herman Meier • One applicant — SpoCon, who was scheduled to make a 9:30 presentation, did not show. Following the applicant presentations the Committee discussed the merits of providing funding to the organizations. It was agreed that SpoCon would receive nothing as they were not there to make a presentation and consequently were unable to clarify whether they were in fact a 501(c)(3) non-profit entity. Each committee member then expressed their rationale for making specific allocation recommendations and these were tracked on a whiteboard.

The Committee also speculated the Fair and Expo's anticipated request would have been approximately $30,000 if they had submitted an application but noted the timing of the City's application process conflicted with the fair. The Committee again expressed their concern that the City's 2012 Budget has already included $30,000 of Lodging Tax to be applied to CenterPlace advertising and felt that this should not occur without CenterPlace Staff working though the application process expected of other organizations interested in receiving funding. It was again discussed that perhaps there should be a second round application process where CenterPlace Staff would have an opportunity to apply. It was also suggested that the Committee hold off on recommending any funding for Valleyfest until a second round while they gathered statistics related to attendance figures and hotel stays from the September 2011 festival. Brenda Grassel moved that the Committee accept the following funding levels and this was approved through a vote consisting of 4 members in favor and 1 opposed: HUB 42,600 Sports Commmission 185,000 Museum 3,900 231,500 The Committee further discussed holding a Round 2 in early January of 2012 and that this round would be open to all to apply and/or reapply.

This was approved through a vote consisting of 4 members in favor and 1 opposed.

These individuals (lessees) place their manufactured homes on the leased land. In these parks, the lessee owns the manufactured home, but only rents the land on which they have elected to place their manufactured home. Several members of the Association of Manufactured Home Owners and the Manufactured Home Owners Association of America have recently spoken in front of Council regarding their concerns regarding zoning issues surrounding manufactured home parks. The specific stated concern of these members is that, under the current zoning laws, there is no restriction on park owners from selling or converting the use of the land — resulting in the manufactured home owner having to relocate their dwelling. Members of the Association advocate for implementing a special zoning classification for manufactured homes similar to what was adopted by the cities of Lynnwood and Tumwater. Where applied, the effect of these ordinances would be to limit the allowed uses to manufactured homes, manufactured home parks, single family residences, and limited businesses such as childcare. To evaluate this new zoning concept, it is necessary to consider the existing protections under state law given to lessees of land in manufactured home parks, the rights of the manufactured home park owners that would be impacted, and the potential legal challenges to such an ordinance. Staff will discuss these issues with the Council at the meeting.

Report❑ Pending Legislation AGENDA ITEM TITLE: 2012 Annual Comprehensive Plan Amendment Process GOVERNING LEGISLATION: The Growth Management Act (GMA) RCW 36.70A. PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None. BACKGROUND: The Growth Management Act (GMA) allows local jurisdictions to update comprehensive plans no more than once each year. The City codified this process in Section 17.80.140 of the Spokane Valley Municipal Code (SVMC). Consistent with state law and the SVMC, staff published notices at the end of August advising the public of the annual amendment process and that the City would be accepting applications for the 2012 cycle through November 1, 2011. Notice was also posted in the main reception area of City Hall, the Permit Center and at the Valley Library. Comprehensive Plan Amendments are divided into two categories - map amendments and text amendments (including charts, tables and graphics). Comprehensive Plan amendments may be privately initiated or proposed by City staff. Most privately initiated amendments deal with land use changes. Text amendments for 2012 will be limited to changes to Chapter 3: Transportation, Chapter 4: Capital Facilities and Chapter 7: Economic Development. It is critical to update the Transportation and Capital Facilities elements annually due to GMA requirements for concurrency and for certain funding sources, such as Real Estate Excise Tax (REET). REET money can only be used for capital projects that are identified in the City's Comprehensive Plan. To date, staff has conducted 5 pre-application meetings for privately initiated amendment requests. No applications have been received to date but staff anticipates several submittals prior to the November 1, 2011 deadline. OPTIONS: N/A RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: N/A.

Staff is developing a docket for the 2012 amendment cycle and would like to incorporate relevant changes to ensure the Comprehensive Plan is current. Growth Management Steering Committee of Elected Officials (SCEO)— The Steering Committee did not meet in August. Shoreline Master Program Staff continues to work on the development of the Shoreline Environment Designations with URS Corporation and prepare for the Goals and Policies Open House set for September. The DOE Grant application was completed in July with informal grant authorization received July 11. Formal approval is still pending. Staff met with Centennial Properties and Central Pre-Mix property owners to discuss ongoing concerns regarding the SMP update. D partment-Vie Energy Grant Public Works continues to implement transportation projects that will result in energy conservation and carbon footprint reduction. Mary May presented changes to the City Council to grant as proposed by Avista. See the paragraph below for updates on the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan. Washington State Energy Strategy Update Process The Washington State Energy Strategy update process provided an update to the legislature and the Governor December 1, 2010. The update was not intended to be a comprehensive revision. The full revision is expected to be delivered to the legislature and the Governor in December 2011. The meetings for the full revision began in January and are scheduled throughout 2011. The topic of the meetings continues to be transportation so no action other than monitoring the Department of Commerce web-site has been required so far this year. Bike/Pedestrian Plan (BPMP) Staff provided a working session to City Council on August 30th. The working session involved a detailed discussion of the BPMP identifying concerns the City Council would like to have addressed. Staff and City Council worked collaboratively to modify the document to be more of a guide rather than a mandate and to be more broad and general and not so detailed. City Council directed staff to make similar edits and schedule a future meeting to discuss the entire document in track-change format. This includes changing words such as "will"to "can" and "ensure"to "encourage". ADA Self-Survey A draft of the survey results report and transition plan are progressing, although very slowly. Staff resources have been temporarily diverted to several time sensitive projects. However, work will continue and a final schedule developed before the end of the year. Page 6 of 8 >%7Community Development alle Monthly Report y August 2011 SEPA SEPA determinations were issued for a subdivision at the corner of Dishman Mica and Wilbur, a drive-through wash bay at Enterprise Rent-A-Car and for a residential swimming pool. Wellhead Protection Staff attended a Wellhead Protection committee meeting in August. Regional Partnering The Regional Partnering Group is currently focused on the development and implementation of the SmartGov permit tracking and workflow system. While the Spokane County and the City will have separate systems, staff is evaluating forms and processes to determine if forms can have a uniform appearance and if some processes, at least at the customer interface can be more similar. Sign and Landscaping Regulations Staff continued to work on signage and landscaping regulations to present to the Planning Commission and City Council.

We anticipate the final exit conference will be held sometime during the third full week of October. The City has received an "unqualified" or "clean" opinion on our financial statements from the State Auditor's (which is our goal) and they will have no management letters or findings to report. 2011 Budget Amendments A few amendments are being prepared for the 2011 budget as adjustments are needed for a number of capital projects. These include the purchase of the street/storm water maintenance facility and potentially some of the capital projects discussed at recent council meetings. Council will review the amendment at the following meetings: October 25 Public hearing November 8 First reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2011 Budget December 13 Second reading on proposed ordinance amending the 2011 Budget 2012 Budget Preparation The 2012 Budget development process is nearing completion and at this point the Council has had an opportunity to hear about and discuss it on six separate occasions. Remaining on the budget development calendar is final Council action where the 2012 Budget Ordinance will be considered: October 25 First reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2012 Budget November 15 Second reading on proposed ordinance adopting the 2012 Budget 2012 Property Tax Levy A significant part of the budget development process is levying property taxes which in 2012 are expected to account for approximately 31% of recurring General Fund revenues. Council discussions specifically related to this topic have (or will) occur at the following meetings: October 11 First reading of ordinances levying 2012 property taxes and confirming tax levy. October 25 Second reading of ordinances levying 2012 property taxes and confirming tax levy. 11SV-FS21Users1mcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201112011 09.docx Page 1 Lodging Tax Advisory Committee and Awards of Funding Requests in the 2012 Budget The process to award 2012 funding of the City's 2% hotel/motel tax has begun and the Council will be asked to consider and act upon a recommendation from the Committee that is based upon their review of applicant materials and presentations. The schedule leading to awarding funds is as follows: October 13 Applicant presentations to Committee October 25 Admin report to Council regarding Committee recommendations November 15 Council makes final determination of awards Financial Reports (pages 4 — 12) Reports reflecting a budget to actual comparison of revenues and expenditures at September 30, 2011 are included on pages 4 and 5 with related footnotes on page 6. Noteworthy here is: • Property taxes are paid to the Spokane County Treasurer's Office in two installments - on April 30 and October 31. At this point the County has remitted to the City the first-half taxes and we won't likely receive any further substantial remittances until October, • Sales taxes receipts are expected to be close to the projected budget as the 2011 estimate was reduced based on 2010 experience. Actual sales tax receipts for the first seven months of 2011 are running 4.48% ahead of 2010. • Gambling tax receipts are expected to be near budgeted amounts for 2011 with the majority of gambling tax coming from three casinos, each of which is open and operating at this time. • Investment earnings are likely to be less than projected in our 2011 budget as interest rates are down dramatically from prior years. The City will explore the option of investing in instruments backed by the federal and/or state government to increase our return. • As of September 30, 2011, the City had a total of $48.7 million in investments including $43.7 million held by the Local Government Investment Pool managed by the WA State Treasurer's Office and $5.0 million in Banner Bank CDs (page 7). • Total sales tax receipts (page 8) received by the City, including general sales taxes, criminal justice sales taxes and public safety sales taxes are $11.13 million or 4.48% greater than for the same 8-month period in 2010. You'll note that receipts for the months of May, June and July are up significantly over those of the previous year. The increase for this three-month period is likely due to a Department of Revenue tax amnesty program that was in place for the three-month period ending April 30, 2011, in which nearly 8,900 business (state-wide) paid $320.7 million in state and local back taxes. Of the total, $56.8 million is local tax that has been forwarded to counties and cities beginning with the May 2011 sales tax distribution and concluding with the July 2011 distribution. We currently have no way of knowing to what extent our May through July remittances have been influenced by the amnesty distribution as the State has provided no such information. Noteworthy here is that August and September receipts averaged over $80,000 or in excess of 5.0% greater than those for the same two months last year. Because these receipts fall outside the aforementioned amnesty program this suggests the August and September 2011 increase in activity reflects an improved business/sales climate. 11SV-FS2 Users\mcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201 11201 1 09.docx Page 2 Economic Indicators Pages 9 through 11 provide information pertaining to three different sources of tax revenue that provide a good indicator of the health and direction of the overall economy. 1. Sales taxes (page 9) provide a sense of how much individuals and businesses are spending on the purchase of goods. 2. Hotel / Motel taxes (page 10) provide us with a sense of overnight stays and visits to our area by tourists or business travelers. 3. Real Estate Excise taxes (page 11) provide us with a sense of real estate sales. Page 9 provides a monthly history of general sales tax receipts (not including public safety or criminal justice) beginning with the first remittance received in May 2003. • Compared with the same 8-month period in 2010 our collections have increased by $442,770 or 4,73%, • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at $17.4 million and dropped off dramatically in the subsequent three years. • Receipts in 2011 are similar to those of 2005. Page 10 provides a monthly history of hotel/motel tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in May 2003. • Compared with the same 8-month period in 2010 our collections are nearly identical to those of last year with an increase thus far of$3,057 or 1.07%. • Collections peaked in 2007 and 2008 and dropped off in the subsequent three-years but not as significantly as sales taxes. Page 11 provides a monthly history of real estate excise tax receipts beginning with the first remittance in March 2003. • Compared with the same 9-month period in 2010 our collections have increased by $4,783 or 0.63%. • Tax receipts peaked in 2007 at nearly $2.6 million, decreased precipitously in 2008 and 2009, and appear to have leveled off in 2009 through 2011. Debt Capacity and Bonds Outstanding Page 12 provides information on the City's debt capacity, or the dollar amount of General Obligation (G.O.) Bonds the City may issue, as well as an amortization schedule of the bonds the City currently has outstanding. • The maximum amount of G.O. bonds the City may issue is determined by the assessed value and the 2010 assessed value for 2011 property taxes was $7,140,947,644. The City currently has $8,155,000 of nonvoted G.O. bonds outstanding which represents 7.61% of our nonvoted bond capacity, and 1.52% of our total debt capacity for all types of bonds. • The $8,155,000 of bonds the City currently has outstanding is part of the 2003 nonvoted (LTGO) bond issue. Of this amount: o $6,380,000 remains on bonds issued for the construction of CenterPlace. These bonds are repaid with a portion of the 1/10 of 1% sales tax that is collected by the Spokane Public Facilities District. o $1,775,000 remains on bonds issued for road and street improvements around CenterPlace. The bonds are repaid with a portion of the real estate excise tax collected by the City. 11SV-FS21Userslmcalhoun\Finance Activity Reports1201112011 09.docx Page 3 City of Spokane Valley General Fund Budget Variance Report For the Period Ended September 30, 2011 °(o of Budget as September s VTD , Budget Budget Adopted-- Actwlty.

The sales tax rate for retail sales transacted within the boundaries of the City of Spokane Valley is 8.7%. The tax that is paid by a purchaser at the point of sale is remitted by the vendor to the Washington State Department of Revenue who then remits the taxes back to the various agencies that have imposed the tax. The allocation of the total 8.7%tax rate to the agencies is as follows: State of Washington 6.50% City of Spokane Valley 0.85% Spokane County 0.15% Spokane Public Facilities District 0.10% Crminial Justice 0.10% Public Safety 0.10% . 2.20% local tax Juvenile Jail 0.10% Mental Health 0.10% Law Enforcement Communicatior 0.10% Spokane Transit Authority 0.60% . 8.70% Indicates voter approved sales faxes In addition to the .85% reported above that the City receives,we also receive a portion of the Criminal Justice and Public Safety sales taxes. The distribution of those taxes is computed as follows: Criminal Justice: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected,the State distributes 10%of the receipts to Spokane County,with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the County and the cities within the County. Public Safety: The tax is assessed county-wide and of the total collected, the State distributes 60%of the receipts to Spokane County,with the remainder allocated on a per capita basis to the cities within the County.

New larger-than-life features were added to the playground to replace the damaged/vandalized ones. The new elements include an eight-foot daffodil, and eight-foot daylily with hummingbird, and two five-foot inchworms. We also replaced two accessible, bucket seat swings with better designed harnesses. • The contract with Glover Mansion Events LLC dba Red Rock Catering was extended exercising the additional one-year renewal option. • Greenacres Park was a major staff focus this quarter. Considerable time has been spent on utility and frontage improvement coordination. The contract for construction of Greenacres Park Phase 1 was awarded to Bouten Construction Company in the amount of $926,016.00. This amount includes the base bid plus four alternates originally part of Phase 2. These added elements include more turf and irrigation sections, the sand and water play area, one additional small shelter, the nine-hole disc golf course, and substituting concrete for asphalt on the perimeter path. On-site weekly meetings are attended with the contractor and architect of Greenacres Park. • As a part of the Greenacres Park construction project, staff has begun the process of conducting a pedestrian study in the Greenacres neighborhood related to the intersection of Mission Avenue and Long Road, which is just north of the future park site. The study will assess whether safety treatments/improvements are warranted for that intersection as it relates to park usage. • Staff continued to be a part of the biweekly meetings regarding a Shoreline Master Plan. • Considerable time was spent working with staff and developing the 2012 Parks and Capital budgets. • The Association of Washington Cities (AWC) held their annual conference in Spokane. The conference theme and emphasis was "It`s All About Community." We had the opportunity to provide for the group a tour of Mirabeau Point Park and Discovery Playground with a discussion about their history. • Staff was part of the Technical Advisory Group and participated in the public meetings held for the Bike and Pedestrian Master Plan. • Staff has met and will continue to coordinate with a very large LDS service group for major projects to be completed in a few of our parks on September 17, for which we are very appreciative. • Discussions were held with the owners of Splashdown and a lease amendment has been renewed. • Terrace View Park is receiving a new picnic shelter and light fixtures this summer. The project should be completed just after Labor Day and will be available to reserve starting in 2012. • Staff has been working with a consultant to develop an identity and signage template for the City of Spokane Valley. Signage would be for welcoming the public at entrances to our city and all public facilities. CENTERPLACE: • The Office Assistant 1 position was filled by Rachiah Boxley.

But summer is also the time of year when seniors are out and about enjoying other activities, which we wholeheartedly encourage. They are doing such things as enjoying the outdoors, traveling and visiting grandchildren, and welcoming family visitors into their homes. • One thing you will notice when you enter the Senior Center is the fun, laughter, and camaraderie that takes place along with the various activities. Here's an example: One man returned with his beard half shaven because his wife and friends were discussing whether or not they preferred facial hair. He and his wife were generously handing out full-sized candy bars as part of the voting fun. • The annual picnic hosted in July was attended by 95 guests for Longhorn BBQ and BINGO. • The Red Hat Ladies brought their granddaughters for tea and cookies for their monthly meeting.

The homeowner caught the male suspect and attempted to hold him until officers arrived, but was hit in the face, at which time the suspect ran from the scene. Officers were able to locate the male suspect and the victims identified the suspect as the individual who had taken the bicycle from their garage. During the ride to jail, the suspect told officers he had used a large amount of illegal substances and feigned passing out. While at the hospital, medical staff requested the handcuffs be taken off to facilitate their examination of the suspect. After approximately 30 minutes and with officers outside the examination room, the male suspect took off running through the hospital, screaming he had a bomb. Officers gave chase, but the male couldn't outrun them and eventually was stopped with a taser application. The male was medically cleared from the hospital a short time later, and booked into the Spokane County Jail on the listed charges. Raid unveils suspicious guns - A theft investigation led to a SWAT team raid at a Spokane Valley home, where detectives seized several suspected stolen firearms. A 42-year-old male suspect was arrested as a search warrant was executed at a home in the 3300 block of East 35th Avenue, where police found five guns believed to have been stolen from a home in the 2800 block of North University Road. Police believe a 43-year-old male suspect brought the stolen guns to the home. He was arrested in the 12000 block of East Valleyway Avenue. The case began as a burglary, vehicle prowling and identity theft investigation. A man arrested after Spokane police found a suspected methamphetamine lab was said to be collecting his urine to use in the making of the drug. Washington Department of Corrections probation officer Scott Wright tipped police to the suspected lab at a home a 54-year-old male shares with his elderly mother in the 4500 block of North Hawthorne Street. This male suspect has seven previous felony convictions, including two for drugs. Page 4 Hungry Suspect Strikes Elementary School - Rice crispy treat wrappers scattered about the kitchen floor tipped off Broadway Elementary kitchen staff to the burglary of the school over the long Labor Day weekend. The school is located at 11016 E. Broadway. A kitchen employee told Officer Cole Speer that she found the wrappers on the kitchen floor and then discovered that two more boxes of the treats were also missing. Searching further, she determined that chips and applesauce had disappeared. Discussions with teachers revealed that some were missing tape and pens. There was no damage to doors or windows which would have revealed the suspect's method of entry. Numerous teachers said they were in the building at various times over the weekend prepping for the coming school week, but no one reported seeing anyone inside that didn't belong. School safety officers reviewed surveillance video, but were unable to develop any suspects. Total loss to the school was estimated at about $250. Anyone with information regarding this commercial burglary is encouraged to call Crime Check at 456-2233. Burglary Suspects Flee To River, Quickly Arrested - Two men were arrested in early September for a Residential Burglary in the early morning hours, after trying to escape from police by swimming across a river. The homeowner saw two men in his house and immediately called police. Officers were able to locate the suspects in the area of Trent and Cement by the river. One of those suspects jumped into the river and began to swim across in an effort to flee police. The suspect quickly realized that he wasn't going to make it across and turned back. Officers arrested the suspect when he reached the shore. The other suspect was found by a K-9 Unit a short time later hiding in some bushes. Property taken from the residence was found on the suspects and was returned to the victims. Both suspects were transported to the Spokane County Jail where they were booked on 2nd Degree Theft and Residential Burglary. Burglar Arrested - A Spokane Valley resident was awakened on an early Sunday morning by the sound of a burglar first prowling around his back deck and then kicking in the walk-through door that leads into his garage. Officers were called to the 400 block of South McKee about 3 a.m. by the resident reporting the burglary in progress. He told them that he had gone to the door leading from the garage into the home to ensure it was locked, and then used bodily force to keep it closed while the suspect began kicking it in from the opposite side. Officers Mark Brownell and Seth Berrow arrived and discovered a 31-year-old male suspect inside the victim's garage. The suspect appeared intoxicated and refused the officers' commands to exit the garage. When he continued refusing to follow their orders, Brownell used his taser to gain compliance. The male suspect continued to resist and was forcibly taken to the ground and handcuffed. The suspect later told Officer Lamont Petersen that he thought he was at his ex-wife's home and hadn't kicked any doors. The homeowner told the officers that he didn't know the male and that he had feared for his life and the life of his sleeping five-year-old daughter. Petersen drove the male suspect to the Spokane County Jail and booked him on charges of Residential Burglary and Resisting Arrest. Vandal Strikes Valley Businesses - A pair of Spokane Valley businesses suffered damaged offices over a weekend when a suspect with a pocketful of rocks and too much time on his hands broke numerous windows. Employees of Schindler Elevator and Tuff Sheds, both located in the 400 block of North Thierman, found windows damaged on a Sunday morning. The elevator firm suffered a shattered front window and shattered glass in the entry door. Tuff Shed suffered shattered glass in the office door, as well as numerous broken windows in sheds on display at the location. In neither instance did the suspect make entry into the buildings. Anyone with information regarding these acts of vandalism is encouraged to call Crime Check at 456-2233. Page 5 Battery Theft Nets Trio Charges - A 37-year-old Spokane Valley man and two female accomplices were arrested in early September for the theft of an automobile battery that was later traded for drugs. On August 6th, a male suspect accompanied by two 24-year-old females entered the AutoZone parts store at 5005 E. Sprague. Following a pre-arranged plan, the male and one of the females distracted store employees while the other female carried out a $184 battery that had been pointed out to her by the male. One female signaled the other when it was safe to exit with the battery. The female placed it in the back of the male's vehicle and then walked down the street. The male and female pair later picked the other female up at a nearby Costco. Officer Ryan Smith investigated the case and tracked the suspects by The male's recently-purchased Isuzu Trooper, used in the theft. He contacted both female suspects and following interviews, arrested both females for Third-Degree Theft. Afterward, he drove to the male suspect's residence in the 2800 block of North Cherry and arrested him for First- Degree Trafficking Stolen Property. Prowler Active at Sprague and Fancher - Several drivers reported vehicle break-ins in the area of Sprague and Fancher starting in early September. Victims included a Cheney resident who told Crime Check that her Ford F-250 pickup was entered about 4:30 p.m. and an old purse containing credit cards stolen. The truck was parked in the Aslin-Finch parking lot and the victim said she was inside the store less than five minutes. Another victim, a Valleyford man, reported his Ford F-350 pickup was entered about 2:45 p.m. the same day while it was parked in the Lowe's lot. His GPS navigation unit, a Verizon cellular phone and other items were stolen. About 4:50 p.m. the same day, another Cheney resident reported her Ford F-250 broken into while it was parked in the Lowe's lot. Cash and a cell phone charger were stolen. The reports continued coming in and eventually totaled approximately 27. Detective Renz was assigned the case and began pursuing the suspects who reportedly were driving a green Chevy Suburban. It appeared the suspects were targeting Ford trucks, SUV's, and Ford vans. In most of the cases, they were punching the door locks out to gain entry. Stolen items included credit cards, tools, and computers. Information was developed through the investigation of a male suspect who had recently purchased a green Chevy Suburban and had pawned numerous items that could be tracked back to multiple victims. In late September, a search warrant was executed on the male suspect's residence and numerous items were recovered belonging to multiple victims. The male suspect was also arrested at the residence and charged with five counts of Trafficking Stolen Property 1st degree. A second suspect was also developed. The case is still on- going at this time and both male suspects are facing approximately 50 to 100 charges. Thief Makes a Meth of Things - Officers arrested a 47-year-old Spokane Valley man in mid- September on a felony drug charge after a citizen witness saw him attempting to take metal from a group of businesses in the 500 block of North Ella Road. Deputy Michael Wall was first to arrive after the witness reported the suspect poking around metal left outside the businesses shortly after midnight. Just before Wall arrived, the witness reported the suspect riding away on a bike while dragging something metal along behind him. Wall arrived and found a male suspect picking up metal from the property. He announced his presence and ordered the suspect to show his hands, but the thief did not and failed to comply with other orders. Wall requested assistance and Officer Juan Rodriguez arrived to assist. The two got the male suspect to lie on his belly, but as Rodriguez approached, he saw the suspect place something under the tire of his bicycle. After handcuffing him, the officer checked the item and determined it was a small plastic baggie of methamphetamine. The male suspect has a 26-year local criminal history. Rodriguez drove him to the Spokane County Jail and booked him on a felony count of Possession of Methamphetamine.

Detectives Recover Stolen Tools - Spokane Valley Property Crimes detectives executed a search warrant and recovered between $10,000 and $15,000 worth of stolen tools. Detective Mark Renz said the stolen property was taken in an August 1st break-in at Acme Machine Works, 60121 E. Sharp. The thief made off with roll-away tool cabinets as well as individual tools. Nearly all the stolen property was found in a storage unit at Spokane Mini-Warehouse in the 4500 block of East Trent, Renz said. The detective now has probable cause to charge a 45-year-old Spokane resident with Second-Degree Burglary,who already has a six-year local criminal history. House Fire Leads to Medical Marijuana - Spokane Valley Police found a 27-plant medical marijuana grow in late September when the Greenacres home it was in caught fire. Suspicions were aroused when one of the tenants told Spokane Valley Fire Inspector Rick Freier that he "had smoked a bowl" and then left to get something to eat. Officer Darin Schaum was called to the scene in the 2500 block of S. Timberlane and counted 27 plants inside the home. He in turn called for investigative assistance and Detective Travis Hansen arrived and interviewed the occupants. A 53- year-old tenant said he had allowed his 19-year-old son and his 22-year-old male roommate to grow marijuana "as long as it was legal." Both of the younger men had medical marijuana cards which appeared to be current and legal. The 19-year-old said he had been prescribed marijuana because of severe arthritis in his hand caused by "too much homework." The 22-year-old said he had severe pain in one of his feet. No arrests were made.

Detectives Offer Sex Offender Information - Recent angst regarding a suspected sex offender watching children at a Spokane Valley school has prompted the sheriff's Sex Crimes unit to offer information that might clarify how sex offenders are monitored in Spokane County and eliminate some common misconceptions. There are about 1,400 registered sex offenders (RSO's) in Spokane County, a number that changes slightly day-to-day. Tracking these offenders is a joint effort by the Spokane County Sheriff's Office, the Spokane Police Department and the U.S. Marshal's Office. Each agency has personnel assigned to register, track and monitor each of these 1,400 RSO's. The Sheriff's office has three detectives, one deputy and a secretary dedicated full-time to this effort. SPD has two full-time detectives and the Marshal's office has one full-time agent and several who work it part-time in addition to other duties. When a suspect is convicted of a sex or kidnapping offense that mandates registration, and then is released from custody,he/she is required to go to the Sheriff's office and register. The Department of Corrections (DOC) will have designated a "Level," I, II or III— one being considered the least likely to re-offend and three being the most likely. This "leveling" is based on a statewide standard. If an offender comes from another state or was not confined, sheriff's detectives assign him a level based on the same DOC standards. All RSO's receive regular visits at their homes by a detective or deputy to verify they are living at the address they registered. Level I offenders are visited at least once a year, Level II at least twice and Level III at least four times. They are visited each and every time they change their address as well. If an offender has no home, he is registered as a transient and must report in-person weekly to the sheriff's office. When an offender is sentenced,he can be released to be supervised by DOC until his sentence time as expired. While on DOC supervision, there may be restrictions set by the Community Corrections Officer restricting his or her freedom to live or work in certain places — schools or daycares, for instance. If an offender has completed his sentence and is no longer on supervision, he is free to live and work anywhere he wants—there are no legal restrictions. In some rare instances, the court may note that an offender is a "Sexually Violent Predator" and will restrict where he can live — not within 880 feet of a school, for instance. Without this court designation, offenders are free to live anywhere they choose. Page 8 If an offender fails to comply with his registration requirements, a detective will write a warrant request for him. Regardless of where the offender is found in the United States, he will be brought back to Spokane County for prosecution. Members of the sex offender units go online daily to search for predators and users/makers of child pornography. These cases are aggressively investigated, and when possible, search warrants are written and executed for the perpetrators. The sheriff's office will notify schools when offenders tell us they will be attending or working there. Schools have the responsibility to notify certain members of their staff. However, this only applies when the offender attends or works in the school. Schools are not required to notify students,parents or neighbors if the offender merely lives nearby. When a sex offender registers, his or her name is entered into a statewide law enforcement database with the Washington State Patrol. The name is also entered into a sex offender database called Offender Watch which is accessible to anyone with a computer. A person can look up his own address and the database will show all Level II and III offenders in the neighborhood. By state law, level one offenders are exempted. The following limited public information about an RSO may be released by law enforcement— For Level II and III offenders, a flyer is printed and distributed to SCOPE and COPS offices where volunteers distribute them in a two block radius of the neighborhood where the offender is living. Level III information is released to media as well. For Level I offenders, information may only be released to the offender's victims, witnesses and individual community members who live near the offender and who request it. When people see known RSO's in schools, daycares, libraries, parks and other places children might frequent, we ask that they remember that offenders have the same rights to be there as everyone else, and to be free from harassment. However, we also welcome calls if the RSO is in any way acting suspiciously.

CAPITAL PROJECTS (See attached Capital Projects Spreadsheet) STREET & STORMWATER MAINTENANCE ACTIVITY The following is a summary of Public Works/Contractor maintenance activities in the City of Spokane Valley for September 2011: Fall Street and Stormwater Maintenance Items: • AAA continues cleaning underground stormwater structures under the Vactoring Services Agreement. • AAA is sweeping arterials. • Geiger crew continues to mow dryland grass areas throughout the city, • Poe Asphalt completed several drywell and asphalt repairs and placed a 2" overlay on the Sprague Avenue westbound lanes from Havana Road to Fancher Road and Bowdish Road from 22" Avenue to 16th Avenue. "Information in bold indicates updates 1 STORMWATER Small Improvement Projects These projects are individually estimated to be less than $30,000, to address street flooding problems and involve excavation work. Project bids received, Eller Corporation under contract to construct in Sept/Oct the following projects: 1. Stn and Park — replace failing drainfield, provide improved treatment including swales if possible. 2. 11th and Herald — improve catchbasins and rehabilitate existing failing UIC. 3. 32"a and Bowdish intersection, north leg — mitigate ongoing stormwater ponding — work includes increasing capacity of existing drywell on south leg of intersection and installing new inlets on north leg and pipe to drywell on south leg of intersection. 4. Evergreen and 17th — replace existing failing drainfield, provide additional treatment through catchbasins. 5. Archery & Farr — improve capture of runoff through installation of improved inlet structures, mitigate for pine needle debris, and protect/improve existing drainfields. Possible award this year w/Contractor (Eller Corporation): 6. Woodward & 35th - replace existing failing drainfield, provide additional treatment through catchbasins. Projects Currently in Design andfor Property Acquisition: 7. Pines & Alki — Preliminary design started. Working with WSDOT MICE on responsibility to replace drain rock and improve failing drywell. 8. Bettman/Dickey Culvert/Ditch re-establishment — Project to improve conveyance of stormwater from 14th to 11th. Site survey and geotechnical work completed, staff researched property issues and is working on securing storm drainage easements. 9. Thorpe Road Culvert Re-establishment— Staff met with the County's floodplain manager and has asked for the County's support for a potential project south of City limits. Staff has concluded that 3 culverts and a ditch were blocked by the addition of parking for the 9-hole par 3 course. Another meeting has been set up with the golf course owners in early October to go over maintenance actions. Staff is working on a flood plain permit application for the proposed work. 10. Park and Valleyway — replace failing drainfield, provide improved treatment including swales if possible. Survey completed, looking at possibility of working with adjacent property owners on installing a swale. Stormwater Capital Improvement Projects These projects are estimated to be over $30,000, to address larger flooding and water quality problems, and/or make major improvements to bring systems closer to current standards. 1. 14th Avenue, Custer to Chronicle — mitigates erosion undermining existing City roadway, capture runoff, and eliminate outfall to waters of the state, Researching current system and ownership outside of the publicly owned right-of-way. Title report received and entering legal descriptions onto a map. Possible construction in 2012. 2. Broadway SW Upgrade (see CIP #153) 3. Dickey & 11th Stormwater Facility Improvements — Project to improve existing City property for regional stormwater infiltration. Site survey and geotechnical work completed, design in progress. 4. Sullivan Road Bridge Drain Retrofit Protect - See CIP Project #150. *Information in bold indicates updates 2 5. Stormwater Decant Facility— Proposed to be located at the new maintenance facility. Decanting catchbasin debris would decrease costs in handling debris by up to 80% by allowing water to be drained and disposed separately. The County Sanitary Sewer Utility has informed City staff that it will not accept liquids from catchbasin cleaning at this time. It appears that the County Sewer Utility is concerned about PCB pollutants and the inability to treat to a level acceptable by the State before discharge to the Spokane River. Staff is working to understand issues regarding PCB's and liquid disposal alternatives for the future decant facility. o Pines/Mansfield - swales (near Montgomery and behind fire station) - Work includes drilling new 3-foot diameter holes for better draining material in bottoms of swales and installing sod in damaged areas, Work was completed and swales re- seeded in work areas. Staff will monitor swales closely into next year to monitor improvements. o Vactor Services 2012 Contract - Current contract ends December 2011 with no renewal options remaining. Staff is drafting a new bid package for a new 2012 contract. Public meeting with interested parties to discuss options staff is considering in the next bid is scheduled for October 19 at 9:00 in Council Chambers. o Stormwater Structure Inspections - Student Interns have been hired to conduct structure inspections throughout the summer/fall, The inspections are identifying and prioritizing aging structures that are in need of repair or rehabilitation. The inspections will also collect data on the debris loads in individual structures, which will help determine efficient cleaning intervals. o Underground Iniection Control (UIC) Assessment - Staff continues work on compliance requirements for the City's 7,350 drywells (UICs) and performing required assessments by February 2013. o 2012 Stormwater Fee Assessor Rolls Update - Staff is starting the process of updating stormwater fees to existing or new commercial properties for the 2012 Stormwater Fee Assessor Roll. o Ecology Grant Status - 2011/2012 -- ($308k/State, no local match): The City has received $154k in reimbursement to date for sweeping operation costs throughout this year. Staff will continue to submit for reimbursements and the grant should be expended prior to June 2012.

She and her husband were headed to a doctor appointment on the south side of the tracks which run through Millwood and the City of Spokane Valley. She called to say a train, or most likely two trains, were blocking the crossings at Argonne, Vista and Park Roads for at least 40 minutes. She had to drive down to the end of Felts Field to cross over at Fancher to get to the south side of the tracks. Her husband, being a retired engineer with Burlington Northern Santa Fe, said state law requires no longer than 10 minutes on a track or the train is supposed to break at the crossing to let cars pass. I called Jake Allen of UP and left a message. He called me back Friday, October 14, 2011 to discuss the blocking of the intersections. He was not sure why it had happened and was going to refer this to Mariano Hawk who is here in the Spokane region. Mr. Hawk called me right after I spoke with Mr. Allen. Mr. Hawk said he was already alerted by the Portland office that this had happened and had spoken with another person last night about the incident. All he could say was that they were not completely sure why all 3 intersections were blocked so long, except that they run on the BNSF tracks and if they are running late, it puts UP behind. This does happen frequently and then it becomes a guessing game on when BNSF is going to let them pass. If they are told that it will be under 30 minutes, normally they won't break the train due to risk of injury having a man on the ground. If it goes over the 30 minutes, they usually break the train at one of the intersections. Mr. Hawk said the UP's rule is to not block a track more than 10 minutes even though by law they can be on it for 20 minutes. (Discrepancy here between Mr. Poppe and UP on the amount of time) Mr. Hawk extended his sincerest apologies and fully understood the concerns of the citizens living north of the tracks, especially in the Millwood area due to medical response. He said he will do his best to not let this happen. I said I do understand things happen and the concern was, please don't let this become a habit. He agreed and appreciated the call which made them aware of the issue. Mr. Hawk said we really do try to be good neighbors. I called Honey Poppe back and explained what Mr. Hawk had said and extended his apologies to her and her husband. She wondered why they didn't pull off the extra back-up tracks over by the Valley mall rather than block the intersections. I told her my guess is they weren't informed soon enough and had already passed by that area and into Millwood. She agreed and was very appreciative that someone from UP even called me back. I told her that the UP Manager said now that I have his cell number, if this happens again, to call him immediately so he can get right on it. I asked Mrs. Poppe to call again if this, unfortunately, happens again. She was very appreciative of the call and thanked the City for following up and said it helps when all parties work together like this.

The UGA is the area designated to accommodate projected urban growth and development for twenty years, and was first established in 2001. The purpose of the regional review is to determine the existing UGA's ability to accommodate growth and development for the next twenty years with the potential for expansion or contraction of the existing UGA. Staff has prepared the attached memorandum to the City Manager discussing the process for reviewing the UGA, population forecasts, and environmental analysis. In addition, the memorandum discusses the remaining tasks for the UGA update process including public participation efforts. The public participation component will include open houses throughout the region. The upcoming open houses will focus on the impacts of the projected growth on the natural environment, and the services and facilities needed including transportation, police, fire, parks, schools,water and sewer. Open houses will be held on the following dates at the locations specified below. Monday, October 24, 2011 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at Spokane Valley City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague Avenue (City Council Chambers) Tuesday, October 25, 2011 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at the Waste-to-Energy Facility, 2900 South Geiger Blvd (Administration Building) Wednesday, October 26, 2011 5:00 pm until 7:00 pm at Northwood Middle School, 13120 N.

The UGA is intended to accommodate 20 years of projected population growth and includes cities, developed urban land outside of cities, and areas planned for urban services. The UGA review will ensure that there is adequate capacity to meet the needs of new growth and development in the subsequent 20 year planning period. The process to review the urban growth boundary includes ongoing public participation efforts, hearings before the Spokane County Planning Commission, the Spokane County Steering Committee of Elected Officials, and the Spokane County Board of Commissioners. Ultimate authority to make adjustments to the growth boundary lies with the County Commissioners. Based on population forecasts, the existing UGA boundary can accommodate the projected increase in population and the increased needs for commercial and industrial property. Any increase to the UGA boundary would likely require a reduction of other areas within the UGA or a revised population forecast. Spokane County staff is currently working on an environmental analysis addressing elements of the natural and built environment. This analysis will compare impacts and mitigation for proposed alternative growth scenarios. This process will include a public comment period. The purpose of the environmental analysis is to identify and analyze a preferred land use alternative, respond to public comments, and provide guidance to decision makers. The Planning Technical Advisory Committee (PTAC) provides planning technical assistance to the Steering Committee of Elected Officials (SCEO) and includes planning staff from all Spokane area jurisdictions, Spokane Regional Transit Council (SRTC) and Fairchild Air Force Base. The PTAC will present a detailed report and recommendation to the Growth Management SCEO in mid-December. The SCEO will review the PTAC report and ultimately make a recommendation to the Spokane County Board of County Commissioners (BoCC). The remaining tasks for the UGA update process include public participation efforts and finalizing the environmental analysis.

Projects Currently in Design and/or Property Acquisition: 7. Pines & Alki — Preliminary design started. Working with WSDOT MTCE on responsibility to replace drain rock and improve failing drywell. 8. Bettman/Dickey Culvert/Ditch re-establishment — Project to improve conveyance of stormwater from 14th to 11th. Site survey and geotechnical work completed, staff researched property issues and is working on securing storm drainage easements. 9. Thorpe Road Culvert Re-establishment — After reviewing Spokane County development files, staff has determined that 3 culverts and a ditch were blocked by the addition of parking along Thorpe Road for the 9-hole par 3 course back in the summer of 2000. Staff met with the golf course owners and came to an agreement to replace the 3 culverts and construct a small channel on the southeast corner of the golf course to reduce the flooding of Thorpe Road. The project is under construction and will be complete by October 26th 10. Park and Valleyway— replace failing drainfield, provide improved treatment including swales if possible. Survey completed, looking at possibility of working with adjacent property owners on installing a swale. Stormwater Capital Improvement Projects These projects are estimated to be over $30,000, to address larger flooding and water quality problems, and/or make major improvements to bring systems closer to current standards. 1. 14th Avenue, Custer to Chronicle — mitigates erosion undermining existing City roadway, capture runoff, and eliminate outfall to waters of the state. Researching current system and ownership outside of the publicly owned right-of-way. Title report received and entering legal descriptions onto a map. Possible construction in 2012. 2. Broadway SW Upgrade (see CIP #153) 3. Dickey & 11th Stormwater Facility Improvements — Project to improve existing City property for regional stormwater infiltration. Site survey and geotechnical work completed, design in progress. 4. Sullivan Road Bridge Drain Retrofit Proiect - See CIP Project #150. `Information in bold indicates updates 2 5. Stormwater Decant Facility— Proposed to be located at the new maintenance facility. Decanting catchbasin debris would decrease costs in handling debris by up to 80% by allowing water to be drained and disposed separately. The County Sanitary Sewer Utility has informed City staff that it will not accept liquids from catchbasin cleaning at this time. It appears that the County Sewer Utility is concerned about PCB pollutants and the inability to treat to a level acceptable by the State before discharge to the Spokane River. Staff is working to understand issues regarding PCB's and liquid disposal alternatives for the future decant facility. • Pines/Mansfield - swales (near Montgomery and behind fire station) - Work includes drilling new 3-foot diameter holes for better draining material in bottoms of swales and installing sod in damaged areas. Work was completed and swales re- seeded in work areas. Staff will monitor swales closely into next year to monitor improvements. • Vactor Services 2012 Contract - Current contract ends December 2011 with no renewal options remaining. Staff is drafting a new bid package for a new 2012 contract. Public meeting with interested parties to discuss options staff is considering in the next bid is scheduled for October 19 at 9:00 in Council Chambers. • Stormwater Structure Inspections - Student Interns have been hired to conduct structure inspections throughout the summer/fall. The inspections are identifying and prioritizing aging structures that are in need of repair or rehabilitation. The inspections will also collect data on the debris loads in individual structures, which will help determine efficient cleaning intervals. • Underground Injection Control (UIC) Assessment - Staff continues work on compliance requirements for the City's 7,350 drywells (UICs) and performing required assessments by February 2013. • 2012 Stormwater Fee Assessor Rolls Update - Staff is starting the process of updating stormwater fees to existing or new commercial properties for the 2012 Stormwater Fee Assessor Roll. • Ecology Grant Status - 2011/2012 — ($308k/State, no local match): The City has received $154k in reimbursement to date for sweeping operation costs throughout this year. Staff will continue to submit for reimbursements and the grant should be expended prior to June 2012. Stormwater Retrofit Grant #G1100278 — ($237k State/$79 City SW fund) Sullivan Road Bridge Drain Project (see also CIP #150). This project is on schedule and in design phase. Easements have been acquired. Construction should proceed next summer with completion before October 2012. BRIDGE MAINTENANCE Specifications and bid packet covering Bridge Repair and Maintenance currently under review. Sullivan Road over Trent (4501) repair and Sullivan SB over UPRR tracks (4507) expansion joint repairs: Project complete Sullivan Road W Bridge (#4508) over Spokane River: Sargent Engineers has been contracted to work on the design of temporary repairs to the bridge that will allow the removal of the weight restrictions. `Information in bold indicates updates 3 SEWER PROJECTS • 2010 County Sewer Projects — Carry over West Farms, South Greenacres Phase 3, Cronk and Corbin are substantially complete; only minor punch list items remain.
