The City of Spokane moved to biennial budgeting with the adoption of the 2025-2026 budget. State law provides for a mid-biennial modification to be adopted no later than the end of the first year of the biennium.
As we build a path to a sustainable financial future for the City of Spokane we must reconnect with the City's mission statement. It was developed and ratified over a number of years by many City Councils and Mayors and reads:
“To deliver efficient and effective services that facilitate economic opportunity and enhance quality of life.”
Delivering “efficient and effective services” requires thoughtful evaluation of and improvement in each line of service to ensure that we are, in all cases, delivering the best quality service possible for the dollars the citizens of Spokane entrust to us.
In Spokane
We All Belong
