Council approves small grants and advances ordinances on first readings
Summary
Council unanimously approved a $17,100 Simple Possession Advocacy & Representation grant, a $4,152.79 BJA bulletproof vest grant, and moved forward first readings of animal-control and virtual-currency kiosk ordinances.
At its June 15 meeting, the Airway Heights City Council approved two grants and took first readings on two ordinances.
Staff described a Simple Possession Advocacy & Representation (SPA) grant of $17,100 to reimburse salary and fringe benefits for the city's new public defender, Aaron Nelson; council approved the grant unanimously. The council also approved a Bureau of Justice Assistance bulletproof vest grant for $4,152.79 to reimburse 50% of vest purchases for the Airway Heights Police Department; staff said the grant period begins July 1 (transcript contained an unclear year in the grant-end date; staff should confirm fiscal-year dates in the grant documents).
Council took first readings on Ordinance C-1127 to repeal and replace Title 6 (animals) to align with Spokane County SCRAPS and Ordinance C-1128 to prohibit virtual-currency kiosks by adding chapter 8.17 to the municipal code; both were continued to a second reading in two weeks.
