INTERLOCAL AGREEMENT AMONG THE CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE, SPOKANE
COUNTY, AND THE SPOKANE COUNTY SHERIFF FOR PARTICIPATION IN
TRAFFIC SCHOOL
THIS AGREEMENT entered into among SPOKANE COUNTY, a political subdivision
of the State of Washington, having offices for the transaction of business at 1116 West
Broadway Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99260, hereinafter referred to as “COUNTY,” the
SPOKANE COUNTY SHERIFF, having offices for the transaction of business at 1100 West
Mallon Avenue, Spokane, Washington 99260, hereinafter referred to as “SHERIFF”, and the
CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE, a municipal corporation of the State of Washington, having offices
for the transaction of business at 22710 East Country Vista Drive, Liberty Lake, Washington
99019 Spokane Falls Boulevard, Spokane, Washington 99201, hereinafter referred to as
“CITY”, jointly hereinafter referred to as the “PARTIES.”
W I T N E S S E T H:
WHEREAS, pursuant to the provisions of RCW 36.32.120(6), the Spokane County Board
of County Commissioners (“Board”) has the care of County property and the management of
County funds and business; and
WHEREAS, chapter 39.34 RCW (Interlocal Cooperation Act), authorizes counties and
cities to contract with each other to perform certain functions which each may legally perform; and
WHEREAS, RCW 46.83.010 authorizes cities to establish a traffic school subject to
agreement with their appropriate county.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises set forth
hereinafter, and the above recitals which are incorporated herein by reference, the PARTIES do
mutually agree as follows:
SECTION NO. 1: PURPOSE
The purpose of this Agreement is to set forth the PARTIES’ understanding of the terms and
conditions under which the CITY will participate in the traffic school currently being operated
by the SHERIFF.
SECTION NO. 2: DURATION / TERMINATION
This Agreement shall commence January 1, 2018, and run through December 31, 2018.
Thereafter, this Agreement shall automatically renew up to five (5) one-year (1-year) terms,
ending December 31, 2023, unless terminated as set forth below.
Any Party for any reason what so ever may terminate this Agreement upon 90 days written
notice of termination to the other PARTIES. In the event of termination, the SHERIFF shall
continue to provide traffic school services to those CITY participants participating in the traffic
school prior to the effective date of termination.
Page 1 of 7
SECTION NO. 3: TRAFFIC SCHOOL
A. The SHERIFF currently operates a traffic school for the benefit of Spokane County
residents who receive certain traffic infractions in unincorporated areas of the County.
The CITY would like to participate in the SHERIFF’S traffic school pursuant to chapters
39.34 and 46.83 RCW.
B. The purpose of the traffic school is to instruct, educate, and inform all persons appearing
for training in the proper, lawful, and safe operation of motor vehicles, including but not
limited to rules of the road and the limitations of persons, vehicles, and bicycles and
roads, streets, and highways under varying conditions and circumstances.
C. The SHERIFF shall charge a fee as authorized by law to traffic school participants. The
amount of the fee shall not exceed the base penalty for an unscheduled traffic infraction
as established and periodically amended by the Washington State Supreme Court
pursuant to RCW 46.63.110, plus any assessments and other costs that are required by
statute or rule to be added to the base penalty. Fees collected in excess of the costs of the
traffic school may be used as authorized by law pursuant to RCW 46.83.070. The fee is
intended to cover all direct costs of the traffic school.
D. The traffic school shall be held at the Spokane County Sheriff’s Office Training Center
located at 6011 North Chase Road, Newman Lake, WA, 99025 or at such other location
as the SHERIFF may hereinafter determine. The training shall be entirely classroom
(lecture, discussion and video presentation) and will be approximately six hours in length
or as may be determined by the SHERIFF.
E. It is anticipated that the Costs for operating the traffic school will be entirely funded by
participant fees. For the purpose of this provision, the terminology Costs shall mean the
annual expenditures for the traffic school prepared by the SHERIFF and agreed to by the
COUNTY. All PARTIES understand that if the total amount of participant fees exceeds
the Cost for operating the traffic school in any calendar year that the surplus money in
that calendar year can be used by the SHERIFF for any purpose authorized by law. No
Costs for the school shall be charged to the CITY.
F. Eligible individuals (as determined by the SHERIFF) receiving traffic infraction citations
within the city limits of the CITY, shall be given the option of participating in the Traffic
School. Satisfactory completion of the class will result in the dismissal of the citation.
Additionally, the Spokane County District Court handling a traffic infraction case within
the limits of the CITY, shall have the legal ability as provided for in RCW 46.83.050, as
part of any sentence imposed following a conviction for any traffic law violation, or as a
condition on the suspension of sentence or deferral of any imposition of sentence, to
order any person so convicted to attend the traffic school for a number of days to be
determined by the court, but not to exceed the maximum number of days which the
violator could be required to serve in the city or county jail as a result of his or her
conviction.

referred to as the "Parties."
WITNESSETH
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature has adopted legislation codified in RCW
70.94.521 through 555, the purpose of which is to improve air quality, improve transportation

programs that encourage the use of alternatives to the single occupant vehicle for commute trips
and reduce vehicle miles traveled (VMT); and
WHEREAS, RCW 70.94.527 requires counties containing urban growth areas and cities
and towns with “major employers,” that are located within urban growth areas with a state
highway segment exceeding the threshold of one hundred person hours of delay or jurisdictions
that are located in contiguous urban growth areas, or are within an urban growth area with a
population greater than seventy thousand people that adopted an ordinance before the year 2000
or jurisdictions that are located in contiguous urban growth areas, or contain a major
employment installation in an affected county to develop ordinances, plans and programs to
reduce Vehicle Miles Traveled (VMT) and Single Occupant Vehicle (SOV) commute trips, and
thereby reduce vehicle-related air pollution, traffic congestion and energy use, and
WHEREAS, the County and each affected city within Spokane County have adopted
Commute Trip Reduction Ordinances and must implement a Commute Trip Reduction (CTR)
Plan for all major employers; and
WHEREAS, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) Public
Transportation Division is responsible for administering funds on behalf of the state legislature

administration of CTR Plans and Ordinances as described in RCW 70.94.521-555.
Page - 1
WHEREAS, Spokane County has entered into an agreement with the WSDOT under
Agreement No. GCB2761, hereinafter referred to as "WSDOT Agreement," pursuant to which
Spokane County is eligible to receive a reimbursable amount of funds which the County will
distribute to itself and cities to implement and administer CTR Plans and Ordinances; and
WHEREAS, Spokane County has allocated $35,288.50 to the City from Agreement No.
GCB2761 which the City is now desirous of making available to the County to perform those
tasks which are the responsibility of the City.
NOW, THEREFORE, for and in consideration of the mutual promises set forth
hereinafter, and as authorized under chapter RCW 70.94.527 (5), the Parties hereto do mutually
agree as follows:
Section 1: PURPOSE
The County has entered into a WSDOT Agreement with the WSDOT under which it will
receive $367,001 for two years. This funding is to be allocated to the County and cities within
Spokane County for their use in the implementation and administration of their CTR Plans and
Ordinances. The County, based upon an allocation formula established by the WSDOT, has
determined that the City shall receive $35,288.50 from the WSDOT Agreement from which it
shall perform certain tasks. The City agrees to its proportionate share of the monies made
available to the County in the WSDOT Agreement and agrees to allow Spokane County to retain
its proportionate share in consideration of the County performing those tasks as more particularly
set forth in Attachment "A" attached hereto and incorporated herein by reference. In conjunction
with allowing the County to retain its proportionate share of monies, the City will execute any
and all necessary documents which may be required by the WSDOT.
It is understood by the Parties hereto, that in order for the County to perform those tasks
as set forth in Attachment "A" for the City, the City must perform certain tasks. Attached hereto
as Attachment "B" and incorporated herein by reference, is a listing of tasks which the City
agrees to perform in conjunction with the County performing those tasks set forth in Attachment
"A."
Section 2: DURATION
The County agrees to provide those tasks set forth in Section 1 and complete performing
such tasks on or before June 30, 2019.
Section 3: TERMINATION
The Parties agree that this Agreement may be terminated by either Party for material
breach of any provision set forth herein, upon ninety (90) days advance written notice to the
other Party at the address set forth hereinabove. Provided, however, the Parties agree that any
notification of termination shall set forth the specific provision(s) for which such notification is
Page - 2
being provided and additionally, advise that if such default is cured within such ninety (90) day
time frame, said termination notification shall be of no force and effect.
In the event of termination, the County agrees to provide to the City all written
documentation which it has completed to the date of termination under the terms of this
Agreement. Additionally, the County agrees to return to the City that portion of the monies set
forth in Section 1 hereinabove, which has not been expended by the County, prior to the date of
termination, on the City's behalf in providing those tasks as set forth in Attachment "A."
Provided, further, the Parties recognize that the WSDOT in Agreement No. GCB2761,
has retained the right to unilaterally terminate all or a part of such contract if there is a reduction
of funds from the funding source. Accordingly, in the event that the WSDOT terminates all or
part of the WSDOT Agreement with Spokane County, and such action affects the allocation of
funds by the County to the City herein, and/or modifies the tasks to be performed hereunder, the
Parties will immediately meet to renegotiate the provisions of this Agreement.
Section 4: DESIGNATION OF ADMINISTRATOR
The County hereby designated Ms. LeAnn M. Yamamoto, the Spokane County
Transportation Demand Management Manager, as its designee for the purpose of administering
and coordinating the County's responsibilities under the terms of this Agreement.
Section 5: ACQUISITION/DISPOSITION OF PROPERTY
The Parties hereto agree that any real or personal property acquired by the County with
those monies made available to the County by the City under Section 1 hereinabove shall be and
remain the sole property of the County upon acquisition and/or termination of this Agreement.
Section 6: COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS

Funding Allocation Methodology
RCW 70.94.544 authorizes the CTR Board to determine the allocation of program funds made
available for the purpose of implementing CTR plans. The funding allocated for local

taken by the CTR Board at its June 19, 2017 meeting. At that meeting, the CTR board passed a
motion to continue the existing funding policy and grant the same allocation from the previous
biennium to implementers in the 2017-2019 biennial allocation.

Labor Agreement - Medical
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: Police and Administration
EXHIBIT:
Article 18 of Teamsters Local Union Agr.
DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Chief Asmus
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: No
BUDGETED: Yes for 2018
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The Teamsters Union Local 690 and the City have agreed upon the conditions of employee health
coverage. Attached is Article 18 of the Union Agreement.
In Summary:
- City will offer the AWC High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP)
- City Veba Contribution will increase to $1500 (Employee Only) or $3000 (Full Family)
- City will establish a medical reimbursement account (The Bridge) up to $2,750 (Employee
Only) or up to $5,500 (Full Family)
- Offer a “opt out” option to employees for medical coverage with a $1,500 VEBA
contribution.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
1. Authorize the Mayor to sign the labor union agreement that amends Article 18.
MEMORANDUM OF UNDERSTANDING
This Memorandum of Understanding is by and between the City of Liberty Lake and
Teamsters Local 690. The City and Union are parties to a collective bargaining agreement
(“Agreement”) with a term effective January 1, 2017 through December 31, 2022.
The parties hereby agree to amend and replace Article 18 in the Agreement as follows:
ARTICLE 18 – Health and Welfare
The Employer agrees to pay ninety percent (90%) of premiums and increases for each employee
and their dependents to provide the following plans: AWC HDHP medical, AWC Plan B dental,
VSP vision.
18.1 VEBA Contribution. The Employer will pay eight-hundred dollars ($800)
annually into each bargaining unit member’s VEBA account as of January 1, 2017.
Effective January 1, 2018, The Employer will pay fifteen-hundred dollars ($1500) or three
thousand dollars ($3000) annually into each bargaining unit member’s VEBA account for
employee only coverage or family coverage (regardless of the number of dependents)
respectively under the HDHP plan. This annual contribution is the equivalent of the annual
deductible under the HDHP medical plan for employee only coverage or family coverage and
will continue as long as the employee is enrolled in the AWC HDHP medical plan. Any
unused amount shall automatically carry over to successive years. Employees hired after
January 1 of the calendar year will receive a pro-rated amount of the VEBA contribution set
forth above and may request additional contributions to their VEBA account in their year of
hire if their deductible costs under the AWC HDHP exceed their pro-rated contribution
amount.
18.2 Medical Bridge Fund. The 2017 out of pocket maximum is $1,100 for employee only
coverage and $2,200 for family coverage (regardless of the number of dependents). The 2018
AWC HDHP has a higher out of pocket maximum (“2018 Out of Pocket Maximum”) than the
out of pocket maximum in effect for the bargaining unit in 2017 (“2017 Out of Pocket
Maximum”). To cover the difference, the City will self-fund a medical bridge reimbursement
arrangement under Section 105 of the Internal Revenue Code for all employees and dependents
enrolled in the AWC HDHP medical plan as of January 1, 2018, at the rate of $2,750 for
employee only coverage and $5,500 for family coverage, regardless of the number of
dependents. The Medical Bridge Fund may only be used after the AWC HDHP annual
deductible amount of $1,500 for an employee only and $3,000 for an employee with family
regardless of the number of dependents has been reached. The Medical Bridge Fund can then be
used to cover eligible medical expenses incurred up to the AWC HDHP annual out of pocket
maximum. The City will retain a third party administrator to administer the Medical Bridge
Fund so that eligible medical expenses incurred after the annual deductible has been met are paid
up to the coverages mentioned above in accordance with the HDHP plan until the out of pocket
maximum has been reached. The Medical Bridge Fund is not cumulative and will be funded
annually.
4810-4157-6982.1 1
18.3 Employees may opt out of coverage during open enrollment upon signing an appropriate
waiver of coverage showing alternative coverage, provided such waiver does not reduce the
unit’s participation rate below 75%. Effective January 1, 2018, employees who waive coverage
under this Section will receive $1,500 annually to their VEBA account in lieu of the VEBA
contribution under Section 18.1.
18.4 Dental and Other Benefits. The Employer shall continue to provide coverage for other
benefit plans, including but not limited to Standard Life Insurance policy #610516-B and
employee assistance program (EAP), at their current levels, as has been provided for in policy
and past practice.
18.5 Health and Welfare Re-Opener. Either party may reopen the contract for the sole
purpose of negotiating a change to the benefit plans and premium cost sharing set forth in Article
18 to address changes in AWC Plan alternatives or achieve greater cost savings and benefits.
Except as set forth above, the remaining terms and conditions of the Agreement remain in
full force and effect.
Dated this ___ day of December 2017.
