Dear Mayor Peterson:
Greater Spokane Incorporated is part of a coalition of the primary economic development entities in the
Spokane region – GSI, Visit Spokane, Greater Spokane Valley Chamber, West Plains Chamber, Downtown
Spokane Partnership, University District, West Plains Airport PDA, and the Northeast PDA.
In the past several months, we have come together to identify five areas of regional collaboration that all our
organizations support. They provide this region with a unique opportunity to collaborate in a way that will
benefit the entire community, and will reduce redundancy that serves only to eat up vital resources that could
be used more efficiently. The five areas we’ve identified for collaboration and coordination include advocacy,
capital investment/infrastructure, regional marketing, expansion/retention/recruitment, and organizational
coordination. We’ve attached a copy of those items we’ve jointly identified.
Specific to regional marketing, we are pursuing the creation of a regional economic development website that
will serve as the primary virtual portal for the entire region. It will be the site where external audiences can
find essential information. We plan to use the current ADVANTAGE Spokane website as a foundation, and to
rebuild it to meet the needs of all our organizations by providing direct links. This would include the option for
the City of Liberty Lake to have a link directly to a page/site where it can display economic development
related information specific to your municipality. In exchange, we would ask that you utilize the ADVANTAGE
Spokane website in your business development promotional materials and help us drive traffic to the site.
As we’re sure you realize, the cost of building websites can be substantial, and today we are requesting a
$7,500 investment by the City of Liberty Lake. We will be requesting contributions to this initiative from other
municipalities and community entities as well. At this time, Spokane County is committing $25,000 and the
Airway Heights City Manager is requesting $5,000 from their current budget.
The advantages to such an approach are numerous. Most importantly, we want to create a user-friendly
platform for external audiences to find critical information about our region. Having a single platform means
numerous entities, including the City of Liberty Lake, can use this website in promotional materials to drive
business traffic to the site. It means as a community we present unified, consistent messaging that is updated
in a timely manner. We won’t send conflicting messages, and we will create a one-stop location to serve the
needs of site selectors, commercial realtors, and businesses seeking information.
We recognize that resources are scarce, and that’s why we have come together to present a solution –
strategic initiatives where all of us agree there’s an advantage to the region, and to our organizations.
Please let us know if you have any questions or need additional information. We will be scheduling follow up
meetings with you to provide additional detail and answer any questions you may have.
Sincerely

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL, LIBERTY LAKE, WASHINGTON
SUBJECT: Ground Lease – Public Works Yard FOR THE AGENDA OF: January 8, 2019
DEPT. OF ORIGIN: City Administrator
EXHIBIT: Ground Lease Agreement DEPT. HEAD APPROVAL: Katy Allen
EXPENDITURE REQUIRED: YES - $1/yr plus recording costs
BUDGETED: YES
SUMMARY STATEMENT
The City desires to purchase a 3 Acre site on the west side of Henry Road from Central Valley School Dist. The
intended use of the property is as a Public Works Yard. The purchase cost and initial site improvements (fencing,
utility, grading) were approved in the 2018 and 2019 budgets. In order to complete the purchase, the closing
transaction is tied to completing the annexation process.
The City requested early possession so that City Staff can begin site work in preparation for utilization this coming
summer/fall. Central Valley School District has agreed to our request for a Ground Lease (see attached). Our goal
is to bring the documents back to Council in March/April timeframe to complete the complete purchasing of the
site.
The attached Ground Lease has been reviewed by the city attorney.
RECOMMENDED ACTION
Staff recommendation is to approve a Ground Lease with CVSD for the 3 acre Henry Road Public Works Yard.
GROUND LEASE
THIS GROUND LEASE (“Lease”) is made and entered into as of __________, 2019,
(the “Effective Date”) by and between CENTRAL VALLEY SCHOOL DISTRICT NO. 356, a
Washington municipal corporation (“Landlord”) and CITY OF LIBERTY LAKE, a Washington
municipal corporation (“Tenant”).
RECITALS
WHEREAS, Landlord and Tenant, contemplate a purchase and sale transaction for the
property legally described on Exhibit “A” attached hereto and incorporated herein (the
“Property”); and
WHEREAS, Landlord agreed to lease to Tenant and Tenant has agreed to lease from

AGREEMENT
NOW THEREFORE, in consideration of the mutual promises contained herein and other
good and valuable consideration, it is agreed as follows:

Tenant receives a written statement from Landlord for the personal property taxes. During the
Term, Tenant agrees that it will be responsible for the payment of all assessments imposed on the
Property by any improvement district or special taxing authority. Notwithstanding the foregoing,
Landlord shall pay any and all real property taxes assessed against the Property, and shall keep

expiration dates of expiring policies. Tenant’s coverage shall be primary insurance with respect
to Landlord and its officers, directors and employees of both of them.
4.2 Tenant’s Liability Insurance. Tenant shall keep in force during the Term a policy
of commercial general liability insurance insuring against any liability arising out of Tenant’s

or to any insurance company (by way of subrogation or otherwise) insuring the other party for
any loss or damage to any building, structure or other tangible property, or any resulting loss of
income and benefits (even though such loss or damage might have been occasioned by the
negligence of such party, its agents or employees) if such loss or damage is covered by insurance
benefiting the party suffering such loss or damage or is required to be covered by insurance
pursuant to this Lease or could have been insured against. Landlord and Tenant agree that
Ground Lease - 2

directors, employees and contractors harmless against and from any and all Claims arising from

successor worker's compensation, benefit or disability laws. This waiver is for the exclusive
benefit of the party to be indemnified hereunder and is not intended, and shall not be construed,
to be for the benefit of any employee of any indemnitor hereunder.

fixtures, equipment or Personal Property belonging to Tenant shall be deemed abandoned and
shall become the property of Landlord if not removed within five (5) business days after the

relating to the same. If Tenant fails to remove or satisfy any lien, stop notice or claim in

rights or remedies of Landlord, to use whatever means in its discretion it may deem appropriate
to cause said claim, stop notice, or lien to be rescinded, discharged, compromised, dismissed or
removed, including, without limitation, posting a bond. Any such sums paid by Landlord,
including attorneys’ fees and bond premiums, shall be immediately due and payable to Landlord

Ground Lease - 4
4825-6345-9705.1
9. DEFAULTS; REMEDIES.
9.1 Tenant’s Default. Tenant shall be in default in the event of any of the following:
(a) if Tenant fails to make any payment of Rent or any other sum or amount payable hereunder
and such failure shall continue for five (5) days after written notice by Landlord; (b) if Tenant
fails to perform any other obligation to be performed by Tenant hereunder and such failure shall
continue for thirty (30) days after written notice by Landlord; provided, however, if the nature of
such default is such that the same cannot reasonably be cured within a thirty (30) day period,
then Tenant shall not be deemed to be in default if it shall commence such cure within such thirty
(30) day period and thereafter rectify and cure such default with due diligence; (c) if Tenant
abandons or vacates the Property; (d) if Tenant files a petition or institutes any proceedings
under the Bankruptcy Code, or if any such proceeding or similar kind or character be filed
against Tenant; or (e) if Tenant is in monetary default three (3) times in any twelve (12) month
period. Landlord’s acceptance, either before or after issuance of any notice of default, of any
partial payment of the rent due hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of Landlord’s
rights, specifically and without limitation Landlord’s right to pursue an unlawful detainer action.
Instead, acceptance of any partial payment of the rent shall serve as evidence of that payment
only.
9.2 Remedies in Default.
9.2.1 In the event of a default by Tenant, Landlord, in addition to any other
remedies available to it at law or in equity, including injunction, at its option, without further
notice or demand of any kind to Tenant or any other person, may: (a) terminate this Lease and
Tenant’s right to possession of the Property and recover possession of the Property and remove
all persons therefrom; (b) continue the Lease in effect after Tenant’s breach and abandonment
and recover Rent as it becomes due, if Tenant has the right to sublet or assign, subject only to
reasonable limitations; or (c) even though it may have re-entered the Property, thereafter elect to
terminate this Lease and all of the rights of Tenant in or to the Property.
9.2.2 Tenant’s right to possession shall not be deemed to have been terminated
by efforts of Landlord to relet the Property, by its acts of maintenance or preservation with
respect to the Property, including its entry upon the Property, appointment of a receiver to
protect Landlord’s interests hereunder, or by any action, in unlawful detainer or otherwise, to
obtain possession of the Property, unless Landlord shall have notified Tenant in writing that
Landlord has so elected to terminate this Lease. In the event of any entry or taking possession of
the Property as aforesaid, Landlord shall have the right, but not the obligation, to remove
therefrom all or any part of the personal property located therein and place the same in storage at
the expense and risk of Tenant.
10. DESTRUCTION.
10.1 Tenant’s Option to Terminate. In the event of total or partial damage to the
improvements on the Property, Tenant may terminate this Lease at the date of the damage upon
written notice to Landlord within fifteen (15) days following the casualty.
Ground Lease - 5
4825-6345-9705.1
10.2 Repairs. In the event that Tenant does not elect to terminate the Lease as
provided for in Section 10.1, then this Lease shall continue in full force and effect and the
improvements on the Property shall be reconstructed with the obligations of the parties being as
set forth herein. Such partial destruction shall in no way annul or void this Lease. Tenant will
commence, as soon as is reasonable under the circumstances, and continue thereafter diligently
and without interruption thereof at Lessee’s sole expense, to repair, restore and rebuild the same
as nearly as possible to the condition they were in immediately prior to such damage or
destruction, or with such changes or alterations as may be made in conformity with the
provisions of this Lease relating to changes or alterations or as otherwise may be approved by
Landlord.
11. CONDEMNATION.
11.1 Taking. If any portion of the Property or the improvements thereon shall be taken
under any right of eminent domain, or any transfer in lieu thereof and such taking renders the
Property unsuitable, in the reasonable judgment of Tenant, for Tenant’s operations, then Tenant
may terminate this Lease by giving written notice to the other within sixty (60) days after such
taking.
11.2 Award. Any and all awards payable by the condemning authority or other
governmental agency in connection with a taking under the right of eminent domain shall be the
sole property of Landlord. Nothing herein shall prohibit the Tenant from seeking an award for
the condemnation of its rights under the Lease.
12. COMPLIANCE WITH LAWS.
12.1 Laws Generally. Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall comply with all
existing and future laws, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements of all
governmental and quasi-governmental authorities (including the Americans With Disabilities
Act) having jurisdiction over the Property and shall perform all work required to comply
therewith.
12.2 Compliance with Environmental Laws.
12.2.1 Tenant, its agents, employees, subtenants, assignees, contractors or
invitees (collectively, “Tenant Parties”), shall not cause or permit any hazardous or toxic
materials or substances (“Hazardous Materials”) including, without limitation, asbestos, to be
brought upon, stored, used, handled, transported, generated, released or disposed of, on, in, under
or about the Property by Tenant; provided Tenant shall have the right to maintain upon the
Property such Hazardous Materials as are reasonably necessary for the conduct of the Use
(collectively, the "Permitted Materials") and the proper maintenance of the Property. As used in
this Lease, the term "Hazardous Materials" shall not include the Permitted Materials. At all
times and in all respects, Tenant and the other Tenant Parties shall comply with all federal, state
and local laws, statutes, ordinances, orders, rules, regulations and requirements (“Requirements”)
of all governmental and quasi-governmental authorities (“Authorities”) with jurisdiction and all
regulations relating to Hazardous Materials.
Ground Lease - 6
4825-6345-9705.1
12.2.2 If at any time during or after the Term, Hazardous Materials are found to
exist in or on the Property or to have contaminated the soils, air or underground water of the
Property because of any deposit, spill, discharge, or other release of Hazardous Materials that
occurs at or from the Property, or which arises at any time from Tenant’s use or occupancy of the
Property, then Tenant, at its sole cost and expense, shall: (a) promptly remove such Hazardous
Materials; and (b) take all such remedial action required by all Requirements of all Authorities.
Notwithstanding the foregoing, Landlord, at its sole cost and expense, shall arrange for the
necessary removal and/or remediation if Tenant can prove that the Hazardous Materials were
present in or on the Property before the date of this Lease and that such removal and/or
remediation was not necessitated by any work or any other activity performed by Tenant.
12.2.3 Tenant shall indemnify, defend, protect and hold Landlord and each of its
partners, employees, agents, attorneys, successors and assigns, free and harmless from and
against any and all claims, liabilities, penalties, forfeitures, losses and expenses (including
attorneys’ fees), arising from or caused in whole or in part, directly or indirectly, by the failure of
Tenant or any Tenant Party failure to comply with the terms of this Section, or the use, analysis,
storage, transportation, disposal, release, threatened release, discharge or generation by Tenant or
any Tenant Party of Hazardous Materials to, in, on, under, about or from the Property or any
portion of the Property including, without limitation, any buildings located thereon. The terms
of the indemnification by Tenant set forth in this Section shall survive the expiration or earlier
termination of this Lease.
13. LATE CHARGE AND INTEREST.
13.1 Late Charge. If any installment of Rent or other sum due from Tenant shall not
be received by Landlord’s designee on the date such Rent or other sums are due Landlord,
Tenant shall pay to Landlord a late charge equal to ten percent (10%) of such overdue amount.
In addition, Tenant shall pay to Landlord any attorney fees and expenses incurred by Landlord
by reason of Tenant’s failure to pay Rent and/or other charges when due hereunder.
13.2 Interest. Any sum due and payable to Landlord under the terms of this Lease
which is not paid when due shall bear interest from the date when the same becomes due and
payable by the provisions hereof until paid at a per annum interest rate equal to the lesser of the
maximum rate allowed by applicable usury law or twelve (12%) percent.
14. QUIET ENJOYMENT.
So long as Tenant is not in default hereunder, then, subject to the other terms and conditions of
this Lease, Tenant shall not incur any manner of hindrance or interference with its quiet
enjoyment, possession and use from Landlord.
15. RIGHT OF ENTRY.
Landlord, and its authorized representatives, shall have the right to enter the Property at all
reasonable times upon no less than 24 hours prior notice to Tenant. Landlord shall have free
access to the Property in an emergency situation which requires, in the good faith judgment of
Landlord, immediate action in order to prevent death, bodily injury or significant property
damage.
Ground Lease - 7
4825-6345-9705.1
16. WAIVERS.
No delay or omission in the exercise of any right or remedy of Landlord with respect to any
default by Tenant shall impair such right or remedy or be construed as a waiver. The receipt and
acceptance by Landlord of delinquent payments due hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of
any other default, nor shall Landlord’s acceptance, either before or after issuance of any notice of
default of any partial payment of the rent due hereunder shall not constitute a waiver of any of
Landlord’s rights, specifically and without limitation Landlord’s right to pursue an unlawful
detainer action. Instead, acceptance of any partial payment of the rent shall serve as evidence of
that payment only. Landlord’s consent or approval shall not be deemed to render unnecessary
the obtaining of Landlord’s consent to or approval of any subsequent act by Tenant, whether or
not similar to the act so consented to or approved.
17. ATTORNEYS’ FEES.
If either party hereto brings an action at law or in equity to enforce, interpret or seek redress for
the breach of this Lease, then the prevailing party in such action shall be entitled to recover all
court costs, witness fees and reasonable attorneys’ fees, at trial, arbitration or on appeal in
addition to all other appropriate relief. Such costs shall be recoverable whether or not suit is
actually filed or a judgment entered.
18. NOTICES.
Every notice, demand or request (collectively, “Notice”) required hereunder or by law to be
given by either party to the other shall be in writing and shall be served on the parties at the
addresses set forth herein or such other address as the party to be served may from time to time
designate in a Notice to the other party. Any such Notices shall be sent either by: (a) United
States certified or registered mail, postage prepaid, return receipt requested; (b) overnight
delivery using a nationally recognized overnight courier, which shall provide evidence of
delivery upon sender’s request; (c) personal delivery; or (d) facsimile, in which case Notice shall
be deemed delivered upon receipt of confirmation of transmission of such Notice (provided a
follow up Notice is: (i) mailed by certified or registered US Mail, postage prepaid, return receipt
requested; (ii) delivered by overnight delivery; or (iii) delivered by personal delivery within one
(1) business day thereafter). All Notices given in the manner specified herein shall be effective
upon the earliest to occur of: (i) actual receipt; (ii) the date of inability to deliver to the intended
