Mayor submits proposed biennial budget amendments; Spokane council opens public budget hearing
Summary
Council President Betsy Wilkerson said the mayor's administration submitted proposed amendments to the city's biennial budget and the council opened a public budget hearing as it works to close a budget deficit. The transcript did not include the text of the amendments or vote tallies.
Council President Betsy Wilkerson said the mayor's administration submitted proposed amendments to the biennial budget, which she said are "currently available on our city website," and that the council opened a public budget hearing to allow residents to weigh in as the council works to close a budget deficit.
Wilkerson described the broader context in one sentence: "We are working hard to close the budget deficit, and it is not lost on us that behind every dollar and every decision is a person and their family." The transcript does not include the proposed amendment language, specific budget line items, or any recorded votes or deadlines tied to adoption of the amendments.
The transcript records no formal motion text or roll-call; it records only the announcement that the hearing is open and that amendments were submitted for public review. For the full amendment text and any formal actions the council takes later, the city's posted budget documents and subsequent meeting minutes should be consulted.
