The Yakima City Council will hold a public meeting at 5:30 pm on Tuesday, April 5th, for a draft redistricting plan. The meeting will be held via Zoom and in person at Yakima City Hall, 129 N. 2nd Street.
A dashboard map showing the proposed City Council district boundaries and population totals is available at Yakima Council District Draft Plan (arcgis.com)
The map provides a form for public comment and input about the proposed boundaries. It is available at Council District Redistricting Comment Form | City Council (yakimawa.gov)
It was created by the City’s Information Technology Services staff following Council review of redistricting proposals during a meeting on March 8th.
The redistricting proposal uses 16th Avenue as a general boundary for City Council Districts 3 and 4 rather than Nob Hill Boulevard.
It is the responsibility of the City to periodically redistrict based on population information from the most recent federal decennial census. Council must review and approve district boundaries before November 2022.
