Spokane Mayor considers leaving SREC due to concerns about financial operations and city service.

Spokane Mayor Lisa Brown expressed concerns over the current Spokane Regional Emergency Communications (SREC) system, stating it doesn't serve the city well. If improvements aren't made, Spokane may opt to go solo. A third-party consulting group reported that SREC's financial operations need changes, including eliminating user fees. Brown emphasized the need for enhanced transparency, accountability, and collaboration. The city's decision to join SREC or establish its own system will depend on the board's next steps.
