Memorandum
To: City Council
From: RJ Stevenson
Date: 9/8/2016
Re: 2017 Budget Priorities
Thank you City Council and Mayor for submitting your 2017 Budget Priorities.
City staff has taken those submittals and attempted to condense them and classify them into
different categories that we will discuss on September 13th. Those categories are:
- Town Square Project – Phase II
- Business Support & Recruitment
- Transportation Projects
- Parks, Recreation, Trails & Open Space
- Miscellaneous
Some of the items that were submitted we thought we more task oriented than a priority, so
we also have a priority task list.

DEPT. OF ORIGIN:
Parks
EXHIBIT:
A – Hold Harmless Agreement
B – Letter from Ross Schneidmiller DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL:
Katy Allen, City Administrator
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: N/A
BUDGETED: N/A
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Schneidmiller family is donating a rose trellis to the Pavillion Park rose garden created by artist,
Peter, in honor of Marian Schneidmiller. A Hold Harmless Agreement has been developed for the
benefit of the Schneidmiller’s, artist and the City and to provide clarity related to the terms of the
donation. The trellis will be installed by City crews near the existing Rose Garden.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the Hold Harmless Agreement.
HOLD HARMLESS AGREEMENT
WHEREAS, Ross D Schneidmiller and Kelli J Schneidmiller, husband and wife, and Rodney
G Schneidmiller and Georgette Schneidmiller, husband and wife, and the Ross D Schneidmiller Trust
have agreed to donate to the City of Liberty Lake (“City”), a Washington municipal corporation, a
certain art piece (“Art”) that will be placed and/or displayed in the City’s Pavillion Park;
WHEREAS, prior to the Schneidmillers’ and the trust donating the Art to the City, they have
requested that the parties enter into this Hold Harmless Agreement (“Agreement”) concerning the use
of and future ownership of the Art after donation; and
WHEREAS, the City is agreeable to entering into the Agreement in order to accept the Art

and obligations in this Agreement.
Further, the parties agree that in the event the City removes the Art from display in Pavillion
Park, the ownership of the Art shall revert back to the donating parties unless such parties disclaim
ownership. Should the donating parties disclaim their ownership of the Art, the City shall have the
sole authority and discretion to convey, transfer, and/or dispose of the Art at any time thereafter.

The Rose Trellis is being donated to the City of Liberty Lake by Rod and Ross
Schneidmiller along with their wives, Georgette (Gigi) and Kelli. The Ross D
Schneidmiller Trust was used for interim financing of the Rose Trellis so it is
included in the Hold Harmless Agreement.
My mother had climbing roses and she loved tending to them. At sunrise when
my father would leave to work on the farm my mother would go outside to work
on her roses. When she passed away in 1998 my brother Rod and I decided to
fund the Rose Garden at Pavillion Park in her honor. The backdrop to my
mother's roses was a rock wall, which is why a wall was incorporated into the
garden's design.
After a number of years without proper pruning and care the roses struggled and
other plantings took over the garden. In 2013 Joice Cary, the Gardener for the
City of Liberty Lake, contacted me and expressed an interest in returning the
rose garden to its original design. My brother and I agreed to partner with the City
in purchasing a number of roses to help restore the garden. Learning of my
mother’s passion for climbing roses one of Joice’s goals became to add one to
the rose collection. Discussions of an arbor or trellis ensued which eventually led
my family to commission Peter Goetzinger to design and build the Rose Trellis.
We wanted the trellis to be historically significant to Liberty Lake Park where the
original Pavillion was located. I provided Peter photos of landscape and
architectural elements from there. In the end after various designs were
considered all parties agreed that incorporating the Pavillion’s roofline into the
trellis was the best fit for the Rose Garden and Pavillion Park.
AGENDA ITEM NO.: 9biii
BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Purchase and install of 2 sets of RRFB’s FOR THE AGENDA OF: September 13, 2016
(Flashing Crosswalk Lights) and street
lights
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: DEPT. OF ORIGIN:
EXHIBIT: Quote from vendor, state contract pricing, map
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: Yes
BUDGETED: Yes
SUMMARY STATEMENT
This request is for the purchase and install of two sets of RRFB’s and street lights for each of the
crossings. One set would be installed at the intersection of Country Vista and Wright (near Pavillion
Park), the other at the trail beginning on Appleway Av and Country Vista Blvd (the map gives you a
better idea). The attached quote is for materials only and the total is $23,466.83. The installation will
be performed by our on call contractor, Peplinski Excavation. The approximate install cost is about
$6,000 for both units (based on the last installation Peplinski performed). Lighting should cost less than
$8,000. Some of that cost is for getting power to the light. A maximum of four lights would be included
for both crossings. We will have Spokane County stripe the crosswalk at the Appleway location once the
crossing unit is functional.
Avista is producing quotes for street lighting at both locations. The lights will be overhead cobra style
lights.
The crossing lights are being ordered ahead of the overhead lights due to long lead times.
The crossings are within our budget.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommends:
1. Authorizing the purchase and installation of RRFB’s and street lighting for the prices above,
totaling $37,466.83.
2. Authorizing a ~5% contingency of $2,000 to be managed by staff for completion of the work.
