Council member Paul Dillon said the council held two hearings related to business improvement districts: a downtown business improvement district hearing with the Downtown Spokane Partnership and a hearing on the East Sprague Parking and Business and Improvement Area for the Sprague Union district.

Dillon credited local organizations for work to keep those areas clean and safe. The recap did not record public testimony details, staff recommendations, ballot or assessment mechanisms, boundary maps, assessment rates, or any final votes or outcomes; it was presented only as a summary of hearings conducted during the session.

Those seeking the full record will need to consult the council’s official minutes and hearing documents for specifics on proposals, assessments, and next steps.
