Utilities: The City of Airway Heights is committed to providing water and sewer service to residents and businesses in the most cost-effective way possible. The City has invested in sewer, water, and reclaimed water infrastructure to ensure services meet City and regulatory service levels for customers. The City is in the process of completing a new Comprehensive Water System Plan for the water system and recently amended the General Sewer Plan for the sewer system. Those plans provided the basis for the Utilities Element of this Comprehensive Plan. Growth projections from market studies and collaboration with the Spokane Tribe of Indians and the Kalispel Tribe of Indians informed projections for the next 20 years.

Planning can also anticipate future gas and stormwater needs generated by development and propose a system to implement those improvements. Other governmental agencies benefit from a plan that provides predictable growth patterns for the future. School districts can use planning data to forecast student enrollments and space needs. Fire districts can utilize the plan to project future revenues and specialized equipment needs to accommodate specific types of development. It is evident that the plan is the foundation of the City's capital improvement programming.

Parks and Recreation: The system of parks, trails, recreation, and open space (PROS) is a key contributor to quality of life in many cities. These parklands and facilities encourage exercise and play, provide aesthetic value, and offer venues for public gatherings. The PROS system also contributes to the city's economic development by attracting visitors and providing space for markets and events. Depending on the design, parkland can also support the City's ecological and environmental health by providing wildlife habitat, enhancing stormwater filtration, and mitigating the urban heat island effect, among other benefits.

The Parks and Recreation Element guides the growth of the PROS system in Airway Heights. As the population grows, the City must consider how to adapt its parks and facilities to meet changing demands. This can include acquiring additional land, investing in existing parks, and expanding programs such as classes and events. This Element informs the allocation of resources towards these activities.

The Airway Heights City Council wants your input as it tackles several key issues at its next Study Session set for Monday, September 14, 2026.

Here’s a quick look at the agenda:
· The meeting will kick off with a public hearing on the housing section of the city’s 2026 Comprehensive Plan Update. The city needs to make the necessary revisions to comply with changes to Washington state law by the end of 2026. City planners will explain how the city’s housing plan meets requirements. They’ll also explain how the proposed plan will be rolled out.

· Councilmembers will learn what’s next after Jess Camacho resigned his council position. You can read the next steps and see if you’d like to apply to fill his term here: 9/14/2026 Study Session Agenda. https://cawh.org/city-council-minutes-2/ (more to be posted after city council session)

· You’ll also learn more about long-term water agreements with the city of Spokane and how an existing intertie on Craig Road is not large enough to deliver the expected future water demand to Airway Heights. Councilmembers will be asked to approve a $352,000 bid for design, geotechnical evaluation, and survey work.

· The city also plans to hire a firm to start designing the new Public Works Building. Read more about the project here: 9/14/2026 Study Session Agenda.

The Monday meeting starts at 5:30. You can join in person or via ZOOM.

Today marks 25 years since September 11, 2001—a day that forever changed our nation.

We pause to remember the nearly 3,000 lives lost and honor the first responders, law enforcement officers, firefighters, military members, dispatchers, medical professionals, and countless others who answered the call to serve. Some made the ultimate sacrifice, while many others carried the physical and emotional impacts of that day for years afterward.

Here at home, we are also reminded that public service requires sacrifice every day—not only from those who wear the uniform, but from the families who support them. To our officers, firefighters, dispatchers, first responders, public safety partners, and their families: thank you for the sacrifices you make in service to others and for always answering the call.

Twenty-five years later, we remain grateful for those who ran toward danger when others needed help, and we are honored to carry forward their legacy of courage, service, and unity.

Today, we remember them. We honor them. And we will never forget.

Together We Rise.

The Transportation Element was developed to support the Airway Heights Comprehensive Plan update and to address the City's motorized and non-motorized transportation needs. It identifies forecast-year 2046 travel demand and recommends roadway, intersection, and pedestrian and bicycle improvements needed to accommodate multimodal travel gains.

It also summarizes the multimodal and environmental performance measures, goals, and policies recommended to support forecast transportation conditions. https://tinyurl.com/mw7m8bzj

Crews inspecting and surveying, marking & putting paint marks on the ground for locating utilities.

To our officers, firefighters, professional staff, public safety partners, City employees, and especially the families who support those who serve: thank you. Your commitment and sacrifice do not go unnoticed.

We are proud to serve Airway Heights, proud of the partnerships that bring us together, and grateful for a community that continues to support one another.
