The Yakima City Council is reaching out to residents for volunteer applications to join the newly created Aquatics Ad Hoc Committee, aimed at assessing the feasibility of a public pool in the city. This committee is tasked with researching community interest and potential designs for a City-owned aquatic facility, reflecting the council's commitment to improving local recreational options. The initiative was launched following discussions in late May, indicating a proactive approach to community needs. Applications for the committee can be submitted to the City Clerk’s office, emphasizing the importance of public involvement in municipal decisions. The establishment of this committee is a critical step toward enhancing the quality of life in Yakima, particularly for families and youth seeking recreational activities.

By engaging the community, the council aims to ensure that the proposed aquatic facility meets the needs of its residents. This initiative not only addresses recreational demands but also fosters community spirit and collaboration. Interested volunteers are encouraged to participate in shaping the future of Yakima's recreational landscape.
