Spokane council approves resolution to place citywide park-improvement levy on Nov. 4 ballot
Summary
The Spokane City Council passed a resolution to place a citywide park improvement levy on the Nov. 4 ballot after council members said the measure was developed with community workshops and school-district partners.
Council President Betsy Wilkerson said the Spokane City Council passed a resolution to place a citywide park improvement levy on the Nov. 4 ballot.
The measure, the council said, grew from a work group that included Council Member Bridal and staff from the parks department and incorporated input from multiple community workshops and partners such as Spokane Public Schools. “We passed a resolution putting a citywide park improvement levy on the November 4 ballot,” Wilkerson said.
The resolution puts the levy proposal before voters; the council statement did not specify the levy’s rate, duration, parcel impacts, or how levy revenue would be allocated. Wilkerson encouraged residents to read the plan on the city website for additional details and noted the council’s role in developing the proposal through the work group.
The transcript did not provide a vote tally, mover or seconder, or the ordinance or resolution number linked to the action. Whether the levy’s language or funding breakdown will return for further council consideration before the election was not specified.
