Re: Annexation of City of Spokane Valley to Fire Districts 1 and 8
Dear Board:
Enclosed please find a copy of City of Spokane Valley Ordinance No. 04-02, the
ordinance adopted by our City Council on January 20, 2004 authorizing the submission
of a ballot proposition to the voters of our city on whether the respective portions of
Spokane Valley should be annexed to their respective fire districts, either Fire District 1.
or Fire District 8.
The City of Spokane Valley respectfully requests that this matter be placed on the April
27, 2004 ballot for a city-wide election. We will suggest the following language to the
Elections Department for use in submitting the issue to the voters within the City of
Spokane Valley:
For Fire District 1 - - "Shall the portion of the City of Spokane Valley which is
currently located in Spokane County Fire Protection District 1 be annexed into and
remain a part of Spokane County Fire Protection District 1?"
For Fire District 8 - - "Shall the portion of the City of Spokane Valley which is
currently located in Spokane County Fire Protection District 8 be annexed into and
remain a part of Spokane County Fire Protection District 8?"
I understand representatives from Fire District 1 and Fire District 8 have, or will soon
have, submitted similar requests to have these issues placed on the ballot for their voters
as well.
