9.25.020.
WHEREAS, YMC 9.25.020 outlines the days when cruising is permitted by the public on

WHEREAS, on July 13, 2024, the Yakima Mile will close down Yakima Avenue in the
evening; and
WHEREAS, July 13, 2024, would generally be a day when cruising would be permitted, if
the road were open, from 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., but it will not be because of the Yakima Mile
special event; and
WHEREAS, the City Council may add an open cruise to the calendar under YMC
9.25.020; and
WHEREAS, to provide for two opportunities for the public to cruise Yakima Avenue in July
of 2024, the City Council wishes to add July 27, 2024 as a day when cruising is permitted from
6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that it is in the best interests of the City of Yakima and
its residents to add July 27, 2024, as a day when cruising is allowed subject to all other

AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 9.A.
For Meeting of: July 2, 2024
ITEM TITLE: Resolution adding July 27, 2024 as a day when cruising shall be
permitted under YMC 9.25.020
SUBMITTED BY: *Trevor Martin, Planning Manager
Bill Preston, Interim Community and Economic Development Director
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The annual Yakima Mile race is set to take place on Saturday July 13th from 6 PM to 8 PM. The event is
a one-mile point-to-point race for all ages &Abilities, down Yakima Avenue. Event organizers expect
event cleanup to be completed by 9:30 PM that night.
Typically, Cruise nights are permitted on Yakima Avenue on the second and third Saturday evenings
from 6 PM to 10 PM, of the months of June, July, August, and September each year. This permission
does not prohibit other special events to occur on Yakima Avenue during these times unless a special
event permit has been permitted which would preclude cruising. With this, and in order to avoid an
unworkable conflict and the confusion that would go with, it is proposed that the July 13th Cruise night be
rescheduled to July 27th.
