The Spokane Valley City Council voted last week to give themselves the night off today, so there will not be a council meeting tonight. Looking ahead to next week, however, reveals a doozy of a schedule. The council will hold its annual budget retreat June 14 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. at CenterPlace (2426 N. Discovery Place). After a brief breather (too brief to give my hand time to recover), the council will reconvene in City Hall for their usual meeting at 6 p.m. Maybe I had better start upping my caffeine intake now.
