This June, the Spokane City Council will likely appoint members of the community to pro and con committees for a November 2025 general election ballot measure proposing to the voters an increase in the regular property tax levy for Citywide Park Improvement and Safety for a twenty-year period beginning in 2026.
Pro and con committees are required by state law whenever the city places a tax measure on the ballot. For these two measures, the pro and con committees will prepare arguments in favor of, and in opposition to, the ballot measures as well as rebuttal statements, consistent with SMC 01.07.010 and the Spokane County’s Administrative Rules.
Any community member interested in serving on pro or con committees for either ballot measure may reach out to Council Office Director Giacobbe Byrd (gbyrd@spokanecity.org) by 5:00 p.m. on June 13, 2025.
