BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 7.E.
For Meeting of: June 18, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution rescheduling public hearing date to July 9, 2024 to declare
property rights obtained by easement to be surplus to the City needs
and dispose of such property rights to the Yakima Housing Authority
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Director of Public Works
*Mike Shane, Water/Irrigation Division Manager
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
On June 4, 2024, the City Council set the date for this public hearing; however the City was notified that
due to a printing press issue the legal notice for the public hearing was not published in the Yakima-
Herald Republic newspaper in a manner that met notification requirements. Therefore, City Council is
being asked to reschedule this public hearing in order to comply with the public notice requirements.
This is a resolution for a public hearing to consider declaring the property rights obtained by the City in
the Easement Deed (Water Line), running through parcel number 181313-31516 recorded under
Auditor's File Number 8059100 and re-recorded under Auditor's File Number 8062906, to be surplus to
the uses and needs of the City of Yakima, and authorizing disposition of such property rights to the
Yakima Housing Authority.
The property rights subject to declaration of surplus is an easement running through parcel number
181313-31516 addressed as 1116 Fruitvale Blvd. currently owned by the Yakima Housing Authority.
Yakima Housing Authority constructed a new multi-family housing project on the parcel, and as part of
that project the utility facilities located within the easement were moved to a different location so as not to
bisect the property and conflict with the new construction. The City of Yakima received an easement for
the construction, operation and maintenance of the new utility facilities and it was determined by the City
that the property is no longer needed for utility purposes and should be surplussed. The City did not
expend any funds in acquiring the easement for the original location of the facilities, and the property,
and property rights associated therewith, have negligible to zero value, especially since the easement
bisects Yakima Housing Authority's recently merged parcel.
