Council head questions ‘threats’ by Quintrall
In the wake of the forced resignation of Spokane Planning Director Scott Chesney last month, city leaders and board members of two downtown groups are struggling over personnel and contract 
fulfillment expectations related to the downtown Business Improvement District.
Ben Stuckart, Spokane City Council president, says issues came to a head when Jan Quintrall, Chesney’s former boss and head of the city’s Business and Development Services, demanded the resignation of Mark Richard, president of the Downtown Spokane Partnership, and threatened to pull the Business Improvement District contract from the DSP.
