HBCC Programs and Activities Report
Adrianne commented on the collaborations that take place between the different groups that
serve the east side. She handed out the packets and went over her report highlighting the
volunteer hours and various programs that were put on by the center. She reported on the
success of the 100 Jobs Youth Job and Career Fair and was excited to have new employers
such as Sears, Fred Meyer and Epic come on board this year. Community partners assisted in
providing funding for 100 youth to obtain Food Handler's permits while at the Job Fair; Safe
Yakima will be providing $5,000 towards placing youth to work at the City of Yakima during the
summer months. HBCC is collaborating with Central Washington University and the Real
Madrid Foundation to provide an 8 -week STEM Program, Game On. The program will teach
the youth how to work as a team through learning the fundamentals of soccer and the second
piece is to teach the youth how to do computer coding. Two of the center staff have been
recently trained in Strengthening Families curriculum through Washington State University.
They will partner will ESD 105 to host two courses this spring, one English and one Spanish.
Adrianne reported that the Yakima Community Foundation has refunded their Pre -GED
Program at $25,000 per year for the next three years. Finally HBCC youth will attend a field trip
to CWU to see NASA Astronaut, Jose Hernandez this week. Adrianne asked if there would be
additional funding for summer programming this summer. Ana stated that she would look into
as there is no emergency funding, and so any summer funding would need to come out of the
general fund. HBCC is the only free full time summer park program in the city.
HBCC Facility Maintenance and Repair Items
Ana reported that she check to see about the schedule for HVAC replacement and also talk with
Randy Pitney regarding LED Lights to replace the T12's in the building. HBCC staff generally
maintains the park bathrooms during the summer months as they run a summer recreation
program. These bathrooms remain locked otherwise. There have been some issues with the
homeless and the bathrooms have been broken into.

volunteers. The rate for volunteers in Washington State is $31.03. If you multiply this by 433.05 volunteer hours
donated by community members is $13,437.54.

(Posthumous), Mr. Esteban Cantu, Mr. Adrian Johnson, Mr. Phil Pleasant, Mr. Rex DeLoney,
• have worked • and • countless volunteer • to establish protective and
character building strategies to ensure that our Children and Youth of Color avoid and are
shielded from negative influences in the community. In that regard collaborating and partnering
with the Yakima School District and the Yakima Police Department, they were instrumental in

partnering with the Yakima School District, established the Eastside Sports League and on any
given day and during out of school time you could see over 300 children/youth and their family
members throughout South and North East Yakima, participating in organized athletic activities
and improving uncountable young lives. Your work within "the Village" will long live on and
today we salute you for turning around hundreds of what could have been somewhat wasted
lives.

Communitv Crosswalks Guidelines
When evaluating locations for potential special crosswalks and planning designs, please
follow these guidelines.
11 �ililillilli�l!�ll��ill 1151111pp�1:111111111pijij 11111111 119 ' 1111!
vul a I Lei r -M 6-2;1 1 or-mgm rao if] I ras a to]&atej Mal I fir.] ag IRIZ21
To the extent possible, the crosswalk should be on the lower traffic volume, shorter
• streets at intersections. This will help • the life of markings, and limit overall
square footage, and bring cost down.
The primary purpose of this program is to create a public benefit. Therefore, images
that convey messages appearing to advertise, or promote a private entity (corporatio
neighborhood • chamber of commerce, or other community organization) wil
not be accepted. No text or logos. I
The crosswalk design must include the two white horizontal markings with standard
design and reflectivity to mark the edges of the crosswalk and ensure it meets
minimum st,9,n41Qrds.
Images that create a driver distraction or could be confused with traffic signs or traffic
•+ legends will not be accepted.
The design should contribute to the visual quality of the streetscape. For example,
consider using a limited palette of colors and simple graphic images to avoid visual
clutter. This will also keep costs down. If original artwork is being created, a lead
artist/designer should be responsible for designing the images.
If more than one crosswalk has been identified for the intersection, artwork should
have consistency of style to create a unified aesthetic at the intersection.
NCNB 037
program/community-crosswalks
• The City Traffic Engineer will review each artwork to determine their appropriateness
at the intersection.
[*TO"
LRMTVnTF=-
• Depending on the amount of vehicle traffic on the street, painted crosswalks can last
3-5 years.
All special painted crosswalks need to be approved and installed by SDOT to make
sure they're safe, reflective of community values, and able to be maintained.
How do I apply to the Neighborhood
Matching Fund?
The Neighborhood Matching Fund (NMF) awards matching funds for projects initiated,
planned, and implemented by community members with the goal of building stronger
and healthier neighborhoods through community involvement and engagement. Every
award is matched by a neighborhood's contribution of volunteerism, donated materials,
in-kind professional services, or cash, Since SDOT actually installs the crosswalk,
applicants should have a strong community involvement strategy,

Re: Policy and Procedures for Naming Public Parks and Parks and Recreation
Facilities
Introduction
The naming of parks and other public facilities is an important part of establishing a
sense of community within any city. The right name can create images of the past, draw
attention to important community landmarks or honor the lives of distinguished citizens.
Determining the best name for a given facility can be a difficult and potentially
controversial process.
It is in the best interest of the City of Yakima and the community to establish a clear
process for naming new facilities in advance of bringing any new facilities on line. Such
a process must include ample opportunity for public participation.
In researching other municipalities, their written policies agree on three primary naming
criteria:
1. Geographic or neighborhood location;
2. Historical or cultural significance;
3. Natural or geological features.
The most critical and potentially volatile criterion concerns how parks may be named for
people. It should be noted that most municipalities try to avoid naming parks for
individuals, though none disallow it entirely. Policies allow naming for an individual
primarily in three instances:
1. If an individual is an historic figure;
2. If the individual has contributed land or money for the purposes of
establishing a park; or
3. If an individual/group has performed outstanding civic service for the benefit
of the parks and recreation system.
To name a park for a donor individual or one who has performed outstanding civic
service, some agencies require that the individual be deceased for one to three years.
Others allow naming for a donor only if it is stipulated as a condition of the donation.
NCNB 042
To name a park for an individual as an honor for outstanding civic service, most agencies
require a delay of six months to two years from the time of nomination if the individual
has died recently. No delay is required for donors when the name is a condition of the
donation.
The only agency to mention allowing parks to be named for retiring governmental
officials was the City of Renton. The City of Bellevue has a policy of not naming for
governmental officials. This policy is not stated explicitly, but by omission. Bellevue's
policy does not contain criteria for outstanding civic service — parks may only be named
for donors or historical figures.
Other Considerations
An important aspect of a park name is that it be used by the general public. To ensure
that this does take place, it would be prudent to research the background of the land
parcels proposed for or included in the park proposal. A name should be concisely
constructed so that it will not be intentionally shortened.
Another potential complication is the influence of interim or working names. These
names tend to be retained unintentionally. This is not necessarily improper, since a
working name may also be the most appropriate one. (Examples: South 2nd Street Park,
Cherry Park) A park name should be chosen early in the acquisition/design process.
Decision Responsibility
This area is the most uniform among municipalities. Usually, the Parks and Recreation
staff does the primary research and "name gathering" in every organization. Proposals
are submitted to a Parks and Recreation Commission for recommendation. Final
approval rests with the City Council.
Public Input
The solicitation of public input into a park naming decision is required standard
procedure in most municipalities.
The most common method of obtaining public input is the use of Parks and Recreation
Commission or public meetings. Other practices mentioned are contests, questionnaires,
and a list of people who required to be acknowledged and recorded for consideration.
Name Changes
Once officially approved, a name should be considered permanent and name changes
should be strongly resisted. Tacoma allows changes to be made if circumstances are
exceptional and if historical or common usage names wouldn't be violated.
NCNB 043
Names associated with the property appearing on maps for greater than 50 years or
associated with registers of historic places should not be changed.
In the event of a name change proposal where the new name would honor an individual,
several procedures may be taken. Initially, the Council should determine whether it is
timely to consider naming a certain facility in honor of a local citizen, or the Council
could delay the decision for a period of 120 days or more from the initial consideration to
diminish the steam of emotional events and ensure a rational process. The request is
then referred to the Parks and Recreation Commission for consideration and
recommendation. During this period of time, the Parks and Recreation Commission or
Council could encourage the submittal of additional names for current or future
consideration.
Naming Features Within a Park
In the past, this practice has been discouraged, however, it is more common now with the
possibility of seeking sponsors for certain elements with in a park facility. In Yakima,
we have allowed interior features to be named. (Example: Helen Jewett Kitchen at the
Harman Center). Interior names should not detract from the primary park name. In most
cases, naming features within a park/facility does not require Council approval.
Yakima's Past Practice
Most recent park names have been in recognition of major donors who have contributed
financially (Harman Center at Gailleon Park).
A few parks within our system are recognized by street address, which allows the
potential for a name change in the future. (South 2'd St. Park, South 6d' Ave. Parkway,
Cherry Park).
Currently, there are two requests for naming a park. The first is to honor Ed Putnum who
was a longstanding Parks Superintendent in Yakima. The second request was presented
to Council to name a park after long serving council members (20 + years). Both
requests are on hold until a resolution and policy is established and approved by Yakima
City Council.

Homeless QMrational Model/Administration — Coffey questioned the purpose of the NCNB reviewing
YVCOG's homeless funding protocol. She expressed disagreement and stated it is an overreach and
duplication of efforts since the City has a Council member representing on homelessness issues.
Larry Mattson, YVCOG Executive Director, described the 2018 Request for Proposals (RFP) process and
indicated he will provide documentation of funds awarded in 2018 if the request is made through the
appropriate Council liaison He noted that Brad Hill represents the City on the YVCOG Executive Board. He
feels the appropriate approach is to solicit such requests and concerns through the City's designated
representative. Additional discussion ensued about the proper protocols for requesting and obtaining
information. The committee decided to bring this conversation forward to the full Council at their next

adopted by City Council on June 6, 2017. The Housing Element includes goals and policies that encourage
the availability of diverse and affordable housing choices within the city limits. Martin further shared current
housing conditions and trends, challenges and opportunities, goals and/p,61 ' icies, and implementation
mechanisms. He mentioned some opportunities that are available to assist/m ceing more housing units in
the city, such as tax incentive programs for developers, mixed-use residential and accessory dwelling units.
Martin distributed the Opportunity 360 reports for several census tracts whchuill be posted online soon.
After a brief discussion, the committee requested data on constructiq permit activity for the past three year

programs, to which Martin described the pre -application process."' Mutdoick added th� ONDS is required to
do community outreach and engagement to a variety of deual�opers, small businesses, and minority business -
owners. For the September meeting, staff suggested reporting on the current proactive an'd"reactive measures

Subject: RE: HCNB Draft Minutes of July 12, 2018
Dear Cliff and Colleagues -
I think that we all have enough experience to recognize that process is valuable, but that too much focus
on process buries fact content and problem solving. Information flow and problem solving cannot become
secondary to process.
I reviewed the video, and I think that the conflict is over whether Brad, as YVCOG representative, has an
exclusive empowerment to review YVCOG function, OR whether the HCNB Committee has a council
mandate to review YVCOG function as it relates to homeless programs.
My understanding is that the full council voted, at the 7/17 meeting to endorse the mandate of the
committee to be constructively informed on homeless service programs. Are we now done with that fight?
If not, we need a formal motion to define an alternative action plan.
The HCNB Committee has no authority over Mr. Mattson. If he chooses to be a "partner" with the
Partnership Committee, and uncooperative with the HCNB Committee, that is his choice. But he has an
unquestioned mandate to report his (publically funded) program decisions in a timely fashion. He does
not get to withhold documents until "[he gets] a request from Councilman Hill".
It is odd that Mr. Mattson chose to come to the meeting without bringing the report which (I believe) was
already prepared. Also, I think that it is very odd that he refused to state that the programs with the
highest scores were awarded funding, but would only commit to say "that is what typically happens".
Scrupulous oversight of public funds is always important, because negligence is the norm, rather than the
exception:
The directors of such companies, however, being the managers of other people's money than of
their own ... cannot be expected to... watch over it with the same anxious vigilance with which
(owners) frequently watch over their own.... Negligence and profusion, therefore, must always
prevail...
