SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The attached Ordinance is a housekeeping measure. This
Ordinance adopts a prohibition contained in state statute. While at present there are
no adult entertainment establishments operating in the City of Yakima, the Yakima
City Council has seen fit to adopt regulations concerning the operation of such
411 establishments. This proposed Ordinance augments those previously adopted
regulations. By adopting this Ordinance, the City is allowed to proceed on any violation
in Municipal Court rather than having to refer the matter to the County Prosecutor's
Office for prosecution in the District Court.
