Week in review

Fire District 8 – Commissioners discussed the Spokane County communications tax measure and passed a resolution to endorse it. They opened and are evaluating four bids for two new brush trucks. There was discussion on the levy lid lift scheduled to be on the ballot next month. There was an update on the roof of Station 82, a portion of which collapsed under a heavy snow load last month. The roof has not yet been repaired, but the administrative offices in the station are able to be used again because of the configuration of the building. There was a short executive session to discuss personnel. (Source: Administrative assistant Carol Trescott)

Edgecliff SCOPE – Volunteers discussed a spaghetti feed planned for April 19 and the Edgecliff Neighborhood Center they recently opened. They will have the SCOPE train in the St. Patrick’s Day parade. They also reviewed their programs to see if they could be more focused. (Source: President Pat Martin)
