SUMMARY EXPLANATION• Earlier this year the Yakima City Council approved three "Open
Cruising Event" weekends scheduled during the summer months. The Yakima City Council had
planned to evaluate the "Open Cruising Event" weekends in fall to determine if changes should
be made to the Ordinance. After reviewing the participation and cost of the "Open Cruising
Event" weekends, and polling the opinions of several local community organizations, the
Yakima City Council requested the attached Option A and Option B Ordinances. The Options
accomplish a reduction in the occurrence of "Open Cruising Events" Option A reduces the
number of weekends and Option B reduces the number of days. The date in August may conflict
with the 3 by 3 Basketball Event hosted by the Yakima Valley Sports Commission. This is a
Yakima City Council policy decision.
