Executive Minutes
Gutierrez called the meeting to order.
Others:
Anita Quintana,
Community Integration
Committee
1. May 24, 2018
The May 24, 2018 meeting minutes were reviewed. Funk motioned to accept the
minutes as presented and Gutierrez seconded the motion. The minutes were
approved unanimously.
2. Department reports
a. Fire Department
Markham updated the committee on the weekend wildland fires and advised
that Yakima City Fire personnel were no longer on scene.
Text to 911
Coughenour reported that they have approximately 12 subjects who are
repeatedly using the Text to 911 system for non -emergency issues. They
have noticed a drop in the abandoned call rate since Text to 911 was
implemented.
Funk asked if there may be mental health issues with some of the callers
and if they could be routed to an answer line. Coughenour advised that he
is working with a group to address those issues.
b. Police Department
Rizzi presented the police department community policing report. The
Department will provide a report monthly of community outreach activities
that have taken place and that are scheduled for the near future.
Gutierrez and Funk complemented Rizzi on the police department's annual
report.
c. Legal
The committee requested to have domestic violence remain as a standing
item on the agenda. They requested a monthly report of the number of
domestic violence reports and arrests comparing current year to the
previous year, and year to date numbers. They would also like a report
from Legal regarding who the implementation of domestic violence protocols
are impacting the effectiveness of prosecution and the handling of cases.
d. Public Works
i. Safe Routes to Schools
Schafer presented a status report on the sidewalk projects under the
Safe Routes to Schools grants. Adams Elementary and Washington
Middle School project is underway with a projected August
completion date. The Garfield Elementary project has a lot of behind
the scenes work that has to be completed before construction can
begin. It is preferable to do the work in the summer for the safety of
students. That project is looking to start construction next summer.
Applications for grants for McKinley and Apple Valley Elementary
Schools have been submitted and staff will receive notice of
approval/denial next year. Funk asked if funding was received for
these two schools if the work could be completed next year, and if
any preparation work could be done this year in anticipation of having
funding available. Schafer advised he would get a report from his
staff of what has already been done in preparation.
Gutierrez stated she would like to see a plan developed for all
elementary schools in Yakima.
ii. Traffic Calming
Anita from the Community Integration Committee and Schafer
presented that committee's recommendation regarding traffic calming
requests. There was general discussion regarding traffic calming
and data. Funk requested data on speed and collision data be
gathered on Cornell Ave. Schafer advised his department has
received new radar signs and they are being mobilized. Gutierrez
would like to recommend to the full council to begin the petition
process on Cherry and begin collecting data. Item will be added to
the Public Safety Committee report at the July 17 meeting. Coffey
expressed some concern with putting committee recommendations
into committee reports to be approved by the full council without
discussion.
e. Code Enforcement
Watkins presented a proposed amendment to YMC 11.10.600 regarding
nuisance properties. The amendment would make nuisance liens equal to
tax liens, which would give them higher precedence over other liens. It was
MOVED by Coffey and SECONDED by Funk to send the item to the full
council.
3. New Business
New business was deferred until after 4. Other business.
4. Other business
a. Forum report
Gutierrez advised the report needed to consolidate duplicate concerns,
categorize feedback, determine where the City can and cannot make an
impact. She would like to see some of the frequently asked questions on
the City's website. Funk suggested also having that information available
on the police department app. She also felt information could be rolled into
the governor's proviso. The report will be updated for the July 10 full council
meeting.
New Business - revisited
Prior to executive session, the committee opened the meeting for public
comment. Morgana Holman of Yakima, Kelly Murray of Yakima, Kari
Anderson of Yakima, and Hailey Ann Parrish of Yakima all spoke in favor of
repeal of the pit bull ordinance. It was MOVED by Coffey and SECONDED
by Funk to adjourn to executive session to discuss pending litigation. The
committee adjourned to executive session at 4:02 p.m.
The committee resumed proceedings at 4:25 p.m. Gutierrez announced
that the committee would be recommending modification of the pit bull
ordinance to the full council.
5. Recap of future agenda items
Add domestic violence as a standing agenda item for Legal
Staff information on Garfield sidewalk project
Long term strategic plan for Safe Routes to Schools
Updated forum recap in July 10 council report
6. Adjournment
It was MOVED by Funk and SECONDED by Coffey to adjourn. Meeting was
adjourned at 4:28.
The next meeting is scheduled for July 26, 2018 at 3:00 in the 2nd Floor Conference
Room.

MEMORANDUM
July 17, 2018
TO: Dulce Gutierrez, Public Safety Committee Chair
Kay Funk, Public Safety Committee
Holly Cousins, Mayor and Public Safety Committee
FROM: Cynthia Martinez, Senior Assistant City Attorney
SUBJECT: Domestic Violence Update
I will not be at the July 26 Public Safety Committee meeting because I am attending a
training hosted by the Battered Women's Justice Project on Evaluating Methods to
Enhance the Coordinated Community Response. See attached. This training is a
federally funded training opportunity being held in Providence, Rhode Island. The
Yakima County Prosecutor has graciously allowed me to take their spot and use their
dedicated grant funds to pay for my attendance. I am looking forward to learning about
other jurisdictions' approach to Domestic Violence. Prosecutor Brooke Goosman will
be attending but she will not be prepared to discuss the DV protocol.
Brooke will hand you several documents for your consideration and I would like to
discuss the documents as part of the DV protocol results discussion at the next Public
Safety Committee Meeting. (The documents were too big to include electronically) I
have also included the numbers you have requested comparing City Prosecutor DV
Referrals January through June 2017 and 2018. Below are other developments of note:
1. David Soukup, Felony Sex Crimes Supervisor, will be providing DV prosecution
training to all City Legal Prosecutors on July 31.
2. Two prosecutors have been registered to attend the DV Symposium in
September.
3. Officers are completing the DV protocol forms. A survey of new cases reveals
50% completion of protocol forms for Intimate Partner cases. This is a great start
and of course the goal is to increase the numbers.

certain qualifying criminal activity and have come up with a plan to address the
requirements. I will report on the efforts at a future meeting.

BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No.
For Meeting of: August 7, 2018
ITEM TITLE: relating to Public Safety; amending the Yakima Municipal Code, Ch. 6.55, Offenses against
Public Decency and Morality, and adopting the Revised Code of Washington statute RCW 9.94A.835,
Special Allegation - Sexual Motivation, to allow city prosecutors to prosecute sexually motivated crimes
in municipal court.
SUBMITTED BY: Brooke Goosman, Assistant City Attorney
CONTACT PERSON/TELEPHONE: Brooke Goosman: 509-575-6033
SUMMARY EXPLANATION: The City Municipal Code Chapter 6.55, "Offenses Against Public
Decency and Morality," consists of city codes relating to crimes which have traditionally been defined
as sex offenses. The proposed ordinance would amend Chapter 6.55 by adopting the RCW 9.94A.835,
Special Allegation — Sexual Motivation. This special allegation that can be added to a criminal charge.
The most common crime this allegation is charged with is Assault in the Fourth Degree. The Yakima
Police Department has requested that this be adopted. This minor addition to the municipal code
would simply allow the city to allege the "sexual motivation" allegation in cases where it is factually
appropriate. Using this special allegation is beneficial because in future prosecutions prosecutors will
be able to ascertain if a certain charge in a defendant's criminal history was sexually motivated. This
type of information furthers public safety. The special allegation does not increase or change the
penalty if a person is convicted of a crime with this designation.
