Council Members Propose Budget Amendment for Libraries

Spokane City Council Members Klitzke and Zappone announced a proposal for an $800,000 budget amendment on November 21, 2025, to enhance funding for the city's libraries. This initiative responds to the growing demand for library resources and services in the community. In a related development, the city has installed new automated traffic safety cameras aimed at reducing traffic violations and improving road safety. The cameras will enter a violation warning period beginning Monday, providing drivers with an opportunity to familiarize themselves with the new enforcement measures. These actions are part of the council's broader strategy to address community needs and enhance public safety.

The budget amendment is noteworthy as it signifies a commitment to supporting educational resources. Meanwhile, the introduction of traffic cameras reflects a proactive approach to managing road safety. Together, these initiatives underscore the city’s dedication to fostering a safer and more resourceful environment for its residents.
