M EM ORANDUM
TO: Honorable Mayor Cawley and Members of the City Council
Tony O'Rourke, City Manager
FROM: Jeff Cutter, City Attorney
DATE: January 17, 2013
SUBJ: Vehicle License Registration Fee Ballot Proposition - TBD
This memorandum is intended to advise you of the issue before the Transportation
Benefit District Board for consideration and discussion during a special meeting of the
Board set for January 22, 2013. The Board will consider whether it wishes to leave the
ballot proposition establishing a vehicle license registration fee, as previously approved
by the Board, to go to the voters of Yakima during a special election on April 23, 2013, or
to move the ballot measure to the City primary election date scheduled to occur on
August 6, 2013. The only other remaining election option the Board may wish to
consider would be the November 5, 2013 general election date.
If the Board wishes to change the election date for the ballot measure from the April 23,
2013 date now established, the County Auditor will require receipt of a resolution
withdrawing the ballot measure from the election process by no later than March 8, 2013.
If the TBD Board directs staff to change the election date during the Special Meeting on
January 22nd, the resolutions required to accomplish the withdrawal and re- setting of the
of the date of the election for the vehicle license registration fee will be prepared for
Board review during the February 5, 2013 Council meeting.
