I love when regional events happen like the Regional Council of Governments on Wednesday so folks from across jurisdictions can connect. π We are stronger together.

Attended the Regional Council of Governments Community Conversation Wed. Great to get an update from the Safe & Healthy #Spokane Task Force on how they are doing creating a recommendation on upgrades and/or replacements to our #SpokaneCounty Jail & correctional facilities.
#CheneyWA #PublicSafety
Toured the Geiger Correctional Facility, #SpokaneCounty Jail, & Pioneer Human Services' regional stabilization center on Tue. Thank you Greater #Spokane Incorporated for organizing, and to the folks working in these facilities for taking the time to share with us.

Last Thursday I had the opportunity to take a Short Course on #LocalPlanning through the #WashingtonState Department of Commerce alongside our #CheneyWA Planning Team and several of our #PlanningCommissioners. The training was super informative and sparked some really great discussion.

Last week I attended #FireDistrict3 's final Strategy Workshop & loved it. The focus on culture & the "one big team" mindset said it all - we all share the same goal of serving & protecting our community. Shoutout to Commissioners Tim Flock & Ken Johnson (πΈ), & Board Chair Howard Marsh!
