Hill 1806 Roosevelt Ave. Yakima, WA 98902 To Whom it May Concern: RIMI111111111h RECEIVED CITY OF YAKIMA AUG 3 12015 OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL 1111111111111111111111ININININIIII W.8,8 Phone: 661-343-5699 On behalf of my brother, Robert (Bob), and myself, I am writing to thank you so much for providing assistance by Mr. Archie Matthews of Neighborhood Development Services. They have painted Bob's house, pruned trees, and mowed his lawn. You have no idea how much this is appreciated! Most of these things are virtually impossible for him to accomplish now. A few years ago he suffered a perforated aorta and was not expected to live. After a month in the hospital and a few more weeks in a rehabilitation facility, he has recovered for the most part. However, it took a huge toll on his general health, furthered existing back issues, increased anxiety problems, as well as putting him financially under water. We are very grateful for Mr. Matthews' help! As I live in Southern California, it's rare that I am able to visit, much less paint, etc. Finances being exceedingly limited, Bob would not have been able to properly care for his home. It would be such a shame if Neighborhood Development Services did not exist to help others in similar situations. There would be nowhere else to turn. Again, we so appreciate their assistance and felt it important to convey this to the City Council, for Bob's sake as well as for others in need! Thank you so much. Respc <a% gar ay/ Robert A. Hill OFFICE OF CITY COUNCIL Bernice Bisconer 1710S13thSt Viking Wa. 98901-3815 YBSA Monthly Report August, 2015 With two-thirds of 2015 behind us where are we in our attempt to provide water for instream flow and out of stream use? Ongoing projects included in the June 3rd Integrated Plan for the Yakima River Basin Water Enhancement include fish enhancements, fish passage studies, ground water analysis, tributary enhancements, purchase of the Teanaway Forrest, and Storage projects. Accomplishments to date include additional habitat construction, additional conservation, management of the Teanaway Community Forrest, Manastash enhancement, and creating access to the base of Lake Cle Elum Dam. Storage projects which are crutial to enshre the Yakima River Basin water supply are the Wymer and Bumping Projects which continue to be analyzed and the Kachess inactive storage project. Draft EIS of Keechelus-Kachess: The Draft EIS for the Keechelus and Kachess project was distributed. With uncertain information on the Draft, the EIS time period was extended. With the extended time period over, everyone is waiting for a decision to move forward with the project or drop it. Drought: The 2015 drought has reduced the ability for salmon/sockeye to move throughout the Yakima River Basin and damaged our agricultural economy. With the predictions of a less than adequate snowpack this winter 2016 could be another year with insufficient water. IP Appraisal of Columbia River Water: The material distributed at the Integrated Plan Work Group Meeting on June 3rd listed, "Begin appraisal of potential projects to transfer water from the Columbia River to the Yakima Basin"/ The Yakima River Basin Water Storage Feasibility Study was completed in 2008 and was determined not to be cost effective. Times have changed since 2008 and a project which could be a possible answer to future droughts by brining Columbia River water to the Yakima Basin should be immediately reevaluated.
