Votes and formal actions
- Agenda approval: The council unanimously approved the meeting agenda at roll call.
- Resolution 2058 — Security camera use policy: Adopted unanimously. The resolution sets policy for park cameras funded by $350,000 in ARPA funds, limits views of adjacent properties, mandates a record of users who access footage, and sets a default 30‑day retention period (longer if needed for investigation or legal reasons).
- Resolution 2059 — Surplus property: Adopted unanimously. City staff presented a periodic listing of personal property to be declared surplus and sold through a local auction house; the motion passed unanimously.
- Appointment of pro and con committees for the public‑safety sales tax measure: The council unanimously confirmed mayoral appointments to the pro and con statement committees required by state law for the August ballot measure. City staff noted one applicant moved out of the city and no longer qualified.
- Motion to confirm mayoral committee appointments (public-safety sales tax pro/con): Passed unanimously following a call for the question and roll-call vote.
- Other procedural actions: Council confirmed consent to consider several non‑action items in a different order (including advancing the Spokane Housing Authority bond presentation), and staff obtained consensus to bring several items back for ordinance readings or hearings (street vacation first reading on May 6; budget amendment public hearing May 13 and second reading May 27).
No final council action was taken during the meeting on the Spokane Housing Authority revenue bond; staff and the Housing Authority sought local approval and requested the council consider a resolution at the May 6 meeting.
Procedural note: The meeting concluded with a motion to adjourn into an executive session on possible litigation; the motion passed and the council adjourned into executive session at about 8:30 p.m.
