The Akron City Council convened on October 15, 2024, to discuss the vacation of South 10th Avenue right-of-way between West Chestnut Avenue and West Walnut Street in Yakima, Washington. Councilman Glenn initiated a motion to approve the ordinance, which included waiving all charges for the YWCA associated with this change. Councilwoman Decio seconded the motion.
During the roll call vote, the initial motion faced opposition, with four council members voting against it, resulting in the motion failing. However, Mayor Brown then moved to grant the vacation and adopt the ordinance based on the hearing examiner's recommendation, which received unanimous support from the council members present, except for Councilman Glenn, who voted against it.
The ordinance now awaits finalization, marking a significant step in the council's land use decisions.
