SMP Roundtable Discussions
To gain insight into the
issues that concern those in our community with a vested stake in the future of
the Spokane River and Latah Creek, the City of Spokane Planning Services
Department planned a series of Stakeholder Roundtable Discussions. We invited
five groups of 15-20 stakeholders each to participate in these discussions.
Each stakeholder group will meet three times over the next year.
The first stakeholder
meetings were designed to be mostly informational in nature to bring the
participants up to date on the process. In addition, participants began to
identify issues and opportunities for restoration, preservation, economic
development, recreation, shoreline access, and other shoreline-related
activities.
The first group met on
April 12, 2006, at the West Central Community Center, and the remaining four
groups had a combined first meeting on May 9, 2006 at Shadle Park High School.
The City will use the input
from these meetings to develop environmental designations along the Spokane
River and Latah Creek shorelines, along with shoreline goals, policies, and
regulations.
