On May 23, 2018, the Yakima Planning Commission reviewed and recommended for approval updates to its Bylaws, which were last amended by City Council on February 19, 2013. The proposed changes will:

• Reflect a 2017 Council change limiting the term limit from six to four years;
• Reflect the correct Department title;
• Modify the meeting start time to 3:00 pm from 3:30 pm;
• Allow for more flexibility if a meeting time/date needs to be changed;
• Modify the order of business to reflect the current agenda format;
• Include the already codified revision of YMC Title 14, 15, or 17 text amendments to its public hearing order of business; and,
• Allow for more flexibility if a public hearing needs to be continued.
