SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
For the past two years, the City Council has approved the closure of 3rd Street between Yakima Avenue
and Chestnut on Sundays each week from June through October. In order to allow the Yakima
Farmer's Market to operate this year, a resolution is placed before Council to close Third Street every
Sunday beginning June 3, 2001 through October 28, 2001.
The street closure allows, the Yakima Farmer's Market to rent booth space to people from the
community to sell their wares. Recently, there have been times when private cars have parked along
this block on Sunday morning, blocking booth space and creating some disruption to the market. The
Ordinance provides the mechanism to notify the public and enforce a Sunday no parking restriction on
Third Street from Yakima Avenue to Chestnut. This Ordinance also provides for the consolidation into
Section 9 48.565, or other regulations, laws and codes found in various locations within the City Code,
related to a police officer's authority to impound vehicles.
