Councilmember Zac Capone said the Spokane City Council voted unanimously to increase penalties for repeat street-racing offenders during its June 8 meeting.
"Unanimously, council voted to increase penalties on people who are doing street racing," Capone said in a brief recap of the meeting.
The meeting also featured proclamations recognizing the Pride Festival and Pride Month "with our community partners and the mayor," Capone said, and a separate proclamation for Community Days to welcome participants in the KSPS Civics Bowl. Capone described the session as a quick meeting that began with celebrations of events in the community.
In addition to proclamations, Capone said the council approved unspecified contracts as part of routine city business. He did not provide the motion text, the names of the motion maker and seconder, or a roll-call tally; he reported only that the street-racing penalty increase passed unanimously.
Capone directed listeners to spokanecity.org for more information about council activities and said the council's meetings will move to Wednesdays starting in July (no specific July date was given). "We had a quick meeting that started off with a celebration of events in our community," he said.
The council did not provide additional details in the recap about the specific penalty changes or enforcement plan; those specifics were not specified in Capone's summary.
