The Yacolt Town Council voted unanimously on Feb. 9 to adopt Resolution No. 643, adding a Climate Resilience Element to the town’s Comprehensive Plan Update.
Paul Dennis, senior planner with Jackson Civil Engineering, summarized the element and the rationale for adoption during the council’s unfinished-business agenda. After brief discussion, Councilmember Brandon Russell moved to adopt the resolution; Councilmember Craig Carroll seconded the motion. The council recorded a 4–0 vote in favor, with Councilmember Marina Viray absent.
The Climate Resilience Element is part of the town’s ongoing Comprehensive Plan Update.

The adoption vote completes the council’s formal approval step recorded in the minutes; the minutes do not specify a public-comment period on the resolution or required follow-up ordinances. The council may discuss implementation details and timelines at future meetings or in staff reports to be scheduled as part of plan implementation work.
The council carried the motion 4–0. No further procedural dates for Resolution No. 643 were specified in the meeting record.
