# Yakima City Council November 2, 2026

The Yakima City Council’s regular meeting on November 2, 2026, included several procurement and budget items. On the consent agenda, the council considered awards for RFP 12629 to Kamira Water Solutions Inc. for liquid aluminum chlorohydrate and Bid 12631 to New Co Inc., d/b/a Cascade Columbia Distribution Company, for ferric chloride solution. After removing item 7G for separate consideration, the council approved a resolution awarding RFP 12630 to Universal Protection Services LP, d/b/a Allied Universal Security, for armed security guards and related services, including prisoner watches, parks lock/unlock services, and event security; the existing contract was due to expire at the end of the month. The resolution was approved unanimously, with no contract amounts stated. The consent agenda also included authorization to accept 2026 CDBG and HOME funds and execute the associated funding contracts. A first reading of the 2026 fourth-quarter budget amendment covered $6.8036 million in new revenue, including $6.5 million for airport capital projects, and fund-balance changes of about $2.30 million. The presentation also cited $315,000 for police-vehicle fuel and roughly $710,000 in increased county jail costs; no final budget-amendment vote occurred at this meeting.

Council also debated a proposed resolution governing automated video analytics systems, including Flock cameras. Members discussed privacy, public safety, police staffing, and whether to postpone action for three public hearings; the police chief described the department’s staffing and budget constraints and the investigative use of the technology. The transcript does not capture the complete roll-call vote or the resolution’s final disposition. Separately, staff reported that delays in the comprehensive-plan update could affect the schedule for state review and funding, and noted approximately $200,000 in reimbursable costs associated with the process.
