Community Forum
The Community Air Quality Forum provides a mechanism through which the Agency may address community member questions/topics regarding air quality issues. The Forum is not mandated by law and is offered as a courtesy by the Agency, at its discretion.
Forum meetings are held in the conference room of the Agency at 186 Iron Horse Court; Suite 101; Yakima, WA 98901
Forum meetings are held quarterly on the Monday following the regular Board of Directors meeting in March, June, September, and December. Meetings are up to one hour in duration starting at 1:00 PM and ending no later than 2:00 PM. Forum meetings may be canceled if questions have not been submitted by the deadline or the Agency has no information available concerning them. Forum meetings may also be canceled if staff are not available to conduct them due to operational demands (e.g. public records requests, complaint response, statutory deadlines, etc.).
The September 2025 Forum has been canceled due to a lack of available staff time resulting from multiple public record requests. The next Forum is currently scheduled for December 15 (subject to the availability of staff).
Community members may submit specific questions/topics pertaining to air quality matters within the Agency’s jurisdiction for possible inclusion in the next forum meeting agenda (as set by the Agency). Questions/topics must be submitted a minimum of ten (10) business days prior to a Forum to allow for adequate preparation. Questions/topics should be sent via electronic mail to admin@yrcaa.org or mailed to the Agency at 186 Iron Horse Ct Ste 101; Yakima, WA 98901.
The agenda for the next Forum meeting is as follows:
Interpretation is available upon request. Requests for interpretation must be made a minimum of two business days in advance. Requests can be made by calling the Agency or sending electronic mail to admin@yrcaa.org.
