Each fall, DSP staff gather to set goals and budget for the coming year to offer continued superior service and to respond to community needs. As a part of the planning and budget process, feedback is solicited from the Ratepayer Advisory Board. Once a satisfactory plan is achieved, the RAB makes a recommendation for approval by the board of the Downtown Spokane Partnership, who present the plan to City Council in December.
