A special meeting of Spokane County concluded with a unanimous vote to approve agenda item number 3, a measure tied to funding for long-term housing recovery for residents impacted by recent fires.
Speaker 2, an unidentified speaker, said the action "matches funding from the Anovia Foundation to help folks rebuild their homes," and thanked the Innovium Foundation for being present and for its contribution. Speaker 3, an unidentified speaker, thanked "George Dahl and his team for finding an innovative way to get some dollars there to the long term recovery group to keep these homes being built." Speaker 1, an unidentified speaker who led the meeting, called the vote; three voices said "aye," and "Motion passes unanimously."
County discussion emphasized ongoing work to pair private foundation support with federal disaster-relief grants.

The transcript also references Commissioners Kerns and French as representing districts affected by the fires; the record uses the spelling "Kerns" in one place and "Kearns" in another.
