The Yakima City Council is expecting to hear from Yakima residents during the council meeting at Yakima City Hall Tuesday. Council members have a short agenda that includes a public hearing on the city draft redistricting plan. It was created by the City’s Information Technology Services staff following Council review of redistricting proposals during a meeting on March 8th. Any changes in the plan? City officials say the redistricting proposal uses 16th Avenue as a general boundary for City Council Districts 3 and 4 rather than Nob Hill Boulevard.
