The Yelm City Council met to hear first readings of a mid‑biennium budget amendment and the annual property tax levy, and to consider a purchase-and-sale agreement (PSA) for a 640-acre parcel with Bluefern Development. Council held public hearings with no public testimony and approved the PSA to authorize the mayor to sign; one councilor voted no. Staff provided routine department updates and discussed next steps on a proposed YAC athletic complex.
