SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
• On February 7, 2012, by Ordinance 2012 -08, the City Council established the Yakima
Transportation Benefit District (TBD) to identify specific road infrastructure improvements
needed within the established District. On December 11, 2012 the TBD Board approved
Resolution TBD -R -1, authorizing the Yakima County Auditor to conduct a special election on
April 23, 2013 for voter consideration of a vehicle license registration fee for infrastructure

needed to consider the ballot proposition and to withdraw the proposed ballot proposition
from voter consideration on the April 23, 2013 ballot. The attached resolution directs the City
Clerk to withdraw the ballot proposition from the Yakima County Auditor, thus terminating
the special election on the measure on the April 23, 2013 special election date.
