If you have ever wanted to spend the entire day with the Spokane Valley City Council, now is your chance. On Tuesday the council will have it's annual spring/summer retreat from 8:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. at CenterPlace, 2426 N. Discovery Place. The main topic of discussion will be the 2013 budget, plus some discussion on street preservation projects.

After a short break, the council will have its regular weekly meeting at 6 p.m. at City Hall, 11707 E. Sprague. There will be a public hearing on the draft six year Transportation Improvement Plan. The council is scheduled to vote on whether to award a bid for the phase one of the pavement preservation projects and there will be further discussion on the proposed zone change for 601 N. Conklin Road.

Of course, this means I will be away from the blog tomorrow. I may tweet a bit from the council retreat, but otherwise I'll see everyone back here on Wednesday.
