Council Members Propose Budget Amendment for Libraries and Safety Cameras Installed

On November 21, 2025, Spokane Council Members Klitzke and Zappone proposed an $800,000 budget amendment to boost funding for local libraries. This financial support is aimed at improving library services and resources to better serve residents. In addition, the city announced the installation of new automated traffic safety cameras, which are intended to enhance road safety. The violation warning period for these cameras will begin on the upcoming Monday, allowing residents to adjust to the new enforcement measures. These initiatives highlight Spokane's commitment to enhancing public services and addressing community needs.

The budget amendment discussions underscore a focus on resource allocation that prioritizes libraries and public safety. Local responses to these proposals will likely shape future funding decisions. Overall, these moves signal an effort to improve both educational resources and traffic safety in Spokane.
