AGENDA STATEMENT

Item No. 9.
For Meeting of: JuneĀ 5, 2018

ITEM TITLE:Resolution authorizing second amendment to lease with Transform Yakima Together for temporary homeless encampment on city owned property
SUBMITTED BY:

Joan Davenport, Community Development Director

Sara Watkins, Senior Assistant City Attorney

SUMMARY EXPLANATION:
In November of 2017, the City Council entered into a Lease agreement with Transform Yakima Together to operate a temporary emergency homeless encampment on property owned by the City. On May 15, 2018, the City Council amended that Lease to allow for children under the age of 18 under certain restricted circumstances.  Transform Yakima Together seeks to further amend the Lease to address the temporary period the temporary emergency encampment is operational, and the City (in light of the fact that YVCOG plans to fund water and sewer extension to the location) seeks to clarify the responsibilities of Transform Yakima Together with regards to the onsite water and sewer improvements.  This resolution and contract amendment would change the time periods that people could use the camp from March 15—November 15 to a number of defined temporary periods and would clarify the responsibility for maintenance of the onsite water and sewer faciltiies.
