The plan slated $150,000 in estimated construction cost for 2025. The County has approved an Interlocal Agreement that would allow the City of Liberty Lake to utilize the railroad right-of-way that extends from extends N Harvest Parkway to the HUB Sports Facility and beyond. While there was no cost to the City of Liberty Lake for the use of that right-of-way, the County would retain ownership, and the City would bear all liability for the right-of-way, as well the full cost for construction and maintenance of those lands and any adjacent lands that the County might acquire in the future. The City would also be required to vacate the property with 30-days’ notice from the County, and the City would bear all cost for the relocation and reconstruction of the trail. A copy of the agreement is appended to this memo. With Selkirk Middle School opening in August, Central Valley School District Superintendent Ben Small has provided a letter of support (als0) for the trail project, as it will provide bike and pedestrian access for neighborhoods located to the west and the north of the new school site.

Participation fees have been allocated based upon population, and the City of Liberty Lake’s fee for 2019 was $1,161.68. Effective July 1, 2019, EWU will not continue in the role of site administrator. Greater Spokane Incorporated (GSI) as the Associated Development Organization (ADO) for Spokane County, proposes to take over the site administration through the end of the year, after which the site will be merged with the Advantage Spokane regional economic development website that is currently in development. GSI is requesting that remaining consortium funds, and the responsibility for the Select Spokane site administration, be transferred to GSI to keep the site operational through the end of the year, when the merger will occur. RECOMMENDED ACTION 1. Authorize the transfer of funds and site administration for the Select Spokane website from Eastern Washington University to Greater Spokane Incorporated (GSI) as the Associate Development Organization (ADO) for Spokane County. July 12, 2019 Dear Select Spokane Consortium members: At the Select Spokane annual meeting on Tuesday, June 18, we learned that Eastern Washington University (EWU) will not continue in their role as Site Administrator of Select Spokane effective July 1, 2019. As Consortium members, we agreed to the following: 1) EWU will extend the contract with GIS Planning through December 31, 2019 and remit payment to them. 2) Oversight of the Select Spokane site, agreements and administration will transfer from EWU to the associate development organization (ADO) for purposes of continuing the functionality of the ADVANTAGE Spokane website. Greater Spokane Inc (GSI) is the designated ADO for this region. 3) Any remaining fund balances will transfer to the ADO instead of being refunded to the individual funders. This will allow for the continuation of the data on the site through December 31, 2019. The City of Liberty Lake and the City of Cheney are not signatories of the Consortium, however they are funders, so we have included them for their authorization as well. EWU has requested a written recognition of the agreed to items listed above from the funding partners. This letter is to serve as that written confirmation outlining the desires of the funders. Once EWU is in possession of this signed statement, EWU will execute a memorandum of agreement authorizing the transfer of the above items from EWU to GSI.
