BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 9.C.
For Meeting of: August 3, 2026
ITEM TITLE: Resolution authorizing an agreement with the Washington State
Public Works Board for a loan of$985,560 for the 6th Avenue
Roadway Project TB2796/AC2796
SUBMITTED BY: *Bill Preston, Community Development Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima is currently in the design phase for the 6th Avenue Roadway project. The project is
currently 100% funded with Transportation Benefit District (TBD) funds. The City Water, Wastewater,
and Irrigation Divisions are funding improvements to their systems that will be part of the project. The
project consists of a total rebuild of the roadway and city utilities within the Right of Way including base
course, curb, gutter, sidewalk, drainage, lighting, pavement and other work.
They City's trolley tracks are located in the center of the roadway for this project. Per direction from the
City Council, no city funds, including this loan, will be used for replacement of the tracks (i.e. TBD or
Arterial Streets). The tracks will only be replaced if the Yakima Valley Trolley Board is able to secure the
necessary funds prior to this project going out to bid for construction.
The project title on the loan is "6th Avenue Rebuild and Rail Renovation - Design Only". This was the
title BEFORE the City Council required Engineering to change it. Per the Agreement Purpose "Fund a
project of a local government for the planning, acquisition, construction, repair, reconstruction,
replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, bridges, drinking water systems,
stormwater systems, sanitary sewage systems, or solid waste/recycling/organics facilities." These funds
cannot be used for replacement of the track.
The City Engineering Division spoke with the City Council previously of this funding opportunity. This
loan provides a number of funding advantages for the City:
• Very low interest rate at only 0.53%
• Repayment early without penalty
• Allows all Divisions to improve budgeting for existing and future projects
• Improves chances of getting a construction grant and/or loan for the construction phase of the
project next year
Because TBD is the only roadway funding for this project, this loan will improve the cash flow necessary
to have the necessary funds on hand prior to bidding. Essentially this means that TBD funds will be
available for additional projects to be worked on simultaneously. This is true for the Water, Wastewater,
and Irrigation Divisions as well.
151
The Scope of Work for this project is for DESIGN only. Design includes engineering, right of way, and
environmental, permitting etc.
ITEM BUDGETED: Yes
STRATEGIC PRIORITY 24-25: A Resilient Yakima
RECOMMENDATION: Adopt Resolution.

with respect to such project. The CONTRACTOR is not a party to litigation which will materially affect its ability to
