Spokane Mayor David Condon today is announcing that he is vetoing an ordinance passed by the Spokane City Council on Nov. 5 that requires dispatch services for Spokane Police Department and Spokane Fire Department employees be performed solely by City employees.
“This ordinance effectively is designed to limit the City’s ability to join the regional integrated communications system that is under development,” says Mayor Condon. “The integrated system will improve public safety outcomes for our citizens and save money for other important priorities.”
