Thank you to all our family, friends, neighbors, and sponsors for making Cops, Kids, and Cruisers a huge success!

The Airway Heights Police Department hosted the community get-together in Sunset Park on Saturday, August 30, to support the West Plains Safety Alliance.

Because of generous support, we watched kids play games, receive free back-to-school supplies, and enjoy an end-of-summer treat.

Community members made new friends, received free items through the Women's Healing & Empowerment Network - WHEN Amazon Give-A-Way, and visited while eating the tangy, fresh BBQ and Island Cuisine flavors from A&R Obentos. We raised money to support the West Plains Safety Alliance as we continue collaborating to make Airway Heights safe and welcoming for all, including our most vulnerable.

The event showed us that Airway Heights understands the celebration of Iakwe Unity, the Marshallese word for welcoming others with respect.

Thank you to these organizations, community members, and businesses for making this event possible.

Airway Heights is working with the 6th Avenue contractor to repair damage to the newly installed median by a reported drunk driver last weekend. Reports to the City indicate that Officers arrested the driver on suspicion of DUI. It appears that the driver went around the Lawson and 6th barricades, and the vehicle became stuck. Attempts by the driver to move the vehicle are reported by the project contractor to have caused damage to the curbing.

The contractor also reported that there was damage over the weekend to plants and irrigation equipment in the median. The city is working with neighbors and the Police to determine if other vehicles were involved.

Currently, the city is working with the contractor for repairs, including insurance to cover the costs.

Airway Heights city leaders want you to know construction on 6th Avenue and spot repairs along Craig Road will be delayed due to a strike by the International Union of Operating Engineers Local 302.

The Airway Heights City Council will study some critical issues at its August 25, 2025, meeting.

Here are highlights:

• Airway Heights Fire Chief Mitch Metzger will update councilmembers on the 2025 Spokane County Hazard Mitigation Plan. Airway Heights is part of a coalition of Spokane County cities and special purpose districts. The coalition aims to pool resources and create a uniform hazard mitigation strategy for a defined planning area. It's part of a federal mandate, and the work seeks to ensure specific grants will be available.

• The city’s Public Works Department will offer a brief presentation on a pressing issue for motorists—the lack of roadway connectivity north of I-90 in the Four Lakes area. Spokane County received federal grant funding to analyze existing and future conditions and develop solutions and alternatives. It’s hoped those plans will improve connectivity, mobility, and safety in the area.

• The Parks & Recreation Department will ask the council to support spending $6,700 to repair problems with the Airway Heights Recreation Center Fire Suppression System.

• The Parks and Recreation Department will also ask the council to fund capital improvement projects at the Recreation Center and the ballfields by utilizing Real Estate Excise Tax funds already earmarked for the center’s construction. $286,000 previously set aside for the center's building is now being requested for use.

The study session starts at 5:30 p.m.

Airway Heights needs you to help plan its future. Positions are open on the city’s Planning Commission, Civil Service Commission, and other critical boards and advisory councils.

William Campbell’s appointment to the city council led to an open seat on the Airway Heights Planning Commission. The seven-member board is tasked with deciding land use policies and reviewing potential zoning code changes, as well as the City's Comprehensive Plan, which is the guiding document for the city's development over the next twenty years.

The City Council will appoint Campbell’s successor. The appointee will fill out the remainder of Campbell’s four-year term, which ends in January 2026, and could be reappointed for another term.

There are also openings on the Airway Heights Civil Service Commission and the Park Advisory Board.

The Civil Service Commission is responsible for making sure personnel decisions in the police and fire departments are based on merit or cause and are not influenced by personal politics.

The commission oversees personnel policies that include investigations, hearings, and appeals related to disciplinary actions.

The Park Advisory Board advises Parks & Recreation Staff about parks, facilities, and programs. The Board also serves as the City’s Tree Board. Members advise staff regarding the direction of the City’s Urban Forest Program on city property.

Airway Heights City Councilmember Jennifer Morton found her home in Airway Heights when a deal for a new house in Spokane fell through.

“My realtor and I drove to Airway Heights, he went and opened the door, and I walked in,” Jennifer remembered. “I started walking around, and something said, ‘This is the house.’ And I said, ‘Yep, this is the house.’”

Jennifer brought her diverse background in aerospace distribution, financial services, city government, and human resources to her new home. Underlying it all is the motto that guides her life – to leave it better than how she found it.

Jennifer continues to pursue her top priorities in her second term on the council. She knows the city’s made progress but understands there is more work to provide clean, affordable water, quality housing, a complete K-12 school system, and accessible and dynamic transportation as part of a safe and thriving infrastructure. All are critical issues, especially considering Airway Heights' unprecedented growth spurt.

“There are a lot of dynamic parts to affordable housing, but I think we're starting to get a real good pulse on that,” Jennifer said.

Jennifer is also proud of the work to redevelop the US 2 corridor. The goal is simple—increase economic vitality, better the community image, and improve safety. “We've had some wonderful agencies working on that plan, working with the businesses and local business owners, and it's been fleshed out," said Jennifer. "We're on a good path to building that infrastructure and making the city a very connected, safe place for all types of transportation."

Jennifer wants to work on West Plains' economic development, with an eye on up-and-coming energy companies and projects. She knows the city needs to be able to supply its residents with reliable, consistent energy. Jennifer also keeps in mind that small local businesses play a key role in the vitality of any community. She encourages residents to take great pride in the safety and cleanliness of their local community, as it can be a defining character trait of a healthy and thriving city. Her master's degrees in business and public administration help guide her decision-making in a city she's proud to call home.

“Good governess is a complex yet rewarding endeavor with multifaceted challenges occurring on a regular basis, but the opportunity to serve is not lost on me,” she said. “I may not be able to predict every potential obstacle as a city we might face, but what I can say is I love this city. I moved here. I've stayed here. I've invested my time, talents, and everything you can think of here. I have a heart for the city and its success. That's why I am here."
