Section 18.10.010 Scope and Purpose
Institutional statements, names or monuments found on City-owned property that reflect the historical denial of human rights, discrimination, and exclusion can cause mental pain and suffering among community members, and also foster a continuing disrespect of historically marginalized members of the community.

This chapter applies to all visible property owned by the City of Spokane, within the city limits of Spokane, Washington. This chapter details and defines a process for receiving, researching, reviewing, and recommending action to address community concerns regarding institutional statements, names or monuments on property owned by the City of Spokane.
