BUSINESS OF THE CITY COUNCIL
YAKIMA, WASHINGTON
AGENDA STATEMENT
Item No. 10.B.
For Meeting of:August 18, 2020
ITEM TITLE: Clean City Report(January- June 2020)
SUBMITTED BY: Scott Schafer, Public Works Director- (509) 576-6411
SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
The City of Yakima developed "Clean City" as a program in which to address the chronic blight
plaguing the City of Yakima. The main objectives of the program are as follows:
• Address visual blight(trash, graffiti, dangerous building, abandoned vehicles, etc.)
• Address unscheduled collection of waste and litter from the City's public
areas/thoroughfares; expedited the clean-up of such illegal dumps
• Clean-up homeless camps
• Support YPD officers in unlawful camping enforcement
• Provide coordination with neighborhoods for annual clean-up events
• Create educational components
• Engage with community partners and volunteers
Funding was established by increasing the Utility Tax imposed on Yakima Waste Systems'
commercial refuse collection. The additional General Funds generated are earmarked
specifically for the Clean City program. Due to the COVI D-19 crisis, we have been cautious in
ramping up this program due to the uncertainty of incoming revenue to the General Fund.
However, we are in the process of filling additional positions in the second half of 2020.
It takes a coordinated effort for a successful program. The following are the Divisions,
Departments and outside partner actively participating in Clean City:
• Public Works
• Public Works Admin
• Refuse Division
• Streets & Traffic Division
• Park& Rec Division
• Community Development
• Code Administration
2
• Planning
• Yakima Police Department
• Sunrise Outreach
Enclosed for City Council review, are the reported activities and associated costs from January
to June of 2020.
