suppor.t for tlus area to be included in the medical oftice overlay uncier the comprehensive plan.
Good Samar.itau would strongly support and requcst that tlus property be included 'ui the Yuedical

citizens need clarifictil:ion on exceptions including giving soine esamples; that no one is argtiing aUout
moving the signs f'rom the right-of-way or the sidewalk; they are being toldpennants are not allowecl; that
their 1ca,Se is comina up for rcnetival and lhere are lots of empty oftice spaces along the corridor; he

Mayor Wilhite until she arrived.
Deputy Niayor Taylor rccogiiized Senior Planner Kuhta, and askecl tllat he give statrt the disc.ussion
beginning with the previously cfiscussed parcels. Tvir. Kuhta distributed copies of'an aerial phnto of the pit properCy off Steen Roact, with the 1\pplewa}+ right-af'-way to the ndrfh. VIr. Kuh[a further explained that
the property is designated resiclential on the Int.crim Comp Plan map that the County aclopted, and was '
°r_oned residential tor ►nany years; and the rEque.st is to change that to an indiastrial zonir►g designation ar ,
comp plan designation in the industrial zoning; and the likely justification is to rnake sure they can
maintain tlieir rights to usc this as an industrifll piece of property. He said that the owners are sforing road
and sweeping equipment and usi.ng it to dump their gravel as khey stveep il off the streets, so it is a
working pit and has been sucli tpr many }'ears. Mr. KutiCa said that he did not get a ch~uice to talk to ttie
pit worl:er to see what their reclamaLion plan is, but the person he talked ro said it is such an old pit it
probably doesn't have m«ch of a reclam8tipn plan, an(l it is likely the pit is used mostly fior storage rathcr
t:han digging; that they have no intention of crushing on the site; they wrint it industrial; that it is
coneurrcntly iJR 3.5 und UR 22, anct is .1 non-conforrning use. Nfr. Kuhta said lie sees no reasnn not to
keep it desiTnated hiogh deiisity residential as proposed; as the situation will likely not changc regardless
of the designation. R1r. Dencnny asked if it could be re-clairned for residential, and Mr. Kuhta repliecl
thal could be a prablerri, that he is a little concerned about whac chey have been pucting in there. vlr.
llcnenny askecl if it could not be used as residential, what could be placed there to help prot:ect it so that
encroaeh+nent does not oecur, as %ve du not wa.nt people thinking they are buying right next: t:o a
residenti<<I area if such is not the case. iYG. .Kuhta said t.he option would then be to designate it heavy
incfustrial. Diseussion fbllowed ori how the laxt is desi~iated now; the tion-confonning use, the potential
problerns if it were changed to industrial, of leaving several acres of industrial surrourided by residential;
ancl that the nonconFcJrming use will nat change regardless of what the desipiation is used.

Meeting Date: April 4, 2006 City Manager Sign-off:
Item: Check all that apply: ❑ consent ❑ old business ❑ new business ❑ public hearing
X information admin. repoR ❑ pending legislation
AGENDA ITEM TITLE: Electronic Monitoring Memorandum
GOVERNING LEGISLATION:
PREVIOUS COUNCIL ACTION TAKEN: None.
BACKGROUND: The City and County have entered into previous agreements whereby City
inmates can be housed at the County's Geiger Correctional Facility in lieu of being housed at
the County jail. In the past, Geiger's rates have been lower than the jail rates. Additionally,
Geiger offers other incarceration services, such as work release (where certain Iow-risk inmates
are released to go work at their normal jobs, returning each evening to sleep in jail) and
electronic home monitoring (EHM).
As the Council is aware, some low-risk, generally misdemeanor offenders, are equipped with
some form of electronic home monitoring device, and then retumed to their homes. This is also
referred to as home. confinement, or home detention. The biggest advantage to this is that the
inmate is removed from the general confinement population, reducing over-crowding and
reducing costs for managing inmate populations. There are various types of EHM, but the most
` common form of EHM at this time is through Global Positioning Device (GPS).
The announced daily inmate rate at Geiger for 2006 is $66.85 per day for regular
confinement. The announced rate for EHM for 2006 is around $23.42 per day.
While some of the City inmates have been put on EHM, it is only a small percentage because
not many can pay even the $23.42 per day. If they cannot pay, they are put in regular
confinement or work release (work release inmates also have to pay a daily rate, which covers
the cqst of processing them in and out each day).
The City of Spokane has chosen to authorize Geiger to put additional low-risk inmates on EHM,
even if they cannot afford it, and then pay Geiger the amount. Obviously, the' EHM rate is about
1/3rd of confinement rate. Each inmate is screened to determine economic status prior to the
City of Spokane paying so as to avoid paying for somebody who could othenNise afford it.
In recent discussions with Geiger, we were made aware of this arrangement, but that Geiger
would need authorization from the City to do so. As such, staff is presenting this information for
a subsequent motion by the Council authorizing Geiger to act on behalf of the City in this
manner.
OPTIONS:
RECOMMENDED ACTION OR MOTION: Unless otherwise instructed by Council, this item will
be placed'on the April 11th Council agenda for motion consideration.
BUDGET/FINANCIAL IMPACTS: Anticipated to lower Geiger confinement bills, but it is not
clear at this time to what extent.
