Spokane City Council to Consider Day Change of Legislative Sessions

The Spokane City Council considers changing its legislative meeting day from Monday to accommodate community needs and reduce cancellations due to federal holidays. The council initially discussed this potential change last year, deferring further action to allow for public input in 2025. A survey, open to Spokane residents until September 21, will gather feedback on preferred meeting days. Results will be shared at the Finance and Administration Committee meeting on September 22, 2025. The proposed change is detailed in Ordinance C36738, which currently leaves the new meeting day unspecified.

A first reading of the resolution is scheduled for October 6, 2025, with a final reading on October 20. If the council approves the change, it will take effect in August 2026, reflecting the community's preferences. This initiative highlights the council's commitment to engaging constituents in the legislative process.
