II M7..w tJltO ?i~? I- 11rUp Dear City of Yelm Resident: You are probably aware that your property was recently annexed to the City of Yelm. We at City Hall would like to welcome you and give you some basic information on what being in the City means to you. One of the most lmportant issues is that you are now permitted to vote in City of Yelm elections and to run for an elected office. To run for office you must be: 1) at least eighteen years of age, 2) a registered voter, and 3) a resident, for one year, of the City or any territory which has been annexed to the City. Dates to file for office are July 26 - 30, 1993. You can call the Thurston County Auditior's Office for additional information. You don't have to re-register to vote in City elections. Your polling place will probably change to Yelm Middle School, watch the paper/voter pamphlet for details. You will also be receiving a letter or new voter reglstration card from the Elections section of the Thurston County Auditor's Office. You can reach them at 1-800-624-1234 ext. 5408 if you have questions. When you go to your polling place to vote, if you find that your name has not been included on the rolls please request a questioned ballot. This allows you to vote, your address will be verified by the Thurston County Auditor's Office prior to counting your ballot. Current Yelm elected officials are: Mayor Kathy Wolf, Council: Amos Lawton, Martha Parsons, Don Miller, Patty Forrester and Bob Gallagher. Mail may be directed to them at the City Hall address shown above. You can leave messages for elected officials at City Hall. The Yelm Planning Commission, Historic Preservation Commission, Parks Advisory Committee, Library Board of Trustees and Historical Society members are advisory committees to the City Council. positions are appointed by the mayor with council approval. If you would like more information about any of these, please call City Hall. At some point In the future Yelm will assign a new addresses to your property. We will notify you of the change and we will also notify Thurston County Communications (911), utility companies, UPS, Thurston County Auditor and the post office of the address change when it occurs. Another future change you will see will be in your garbage service. Current county pick-up, contracted with LeMay, will change to City service which is also with Lemay and includes residential recycling. Yelm's annual "Spring Cleanup" is limited to City garbage customers only and the change would allow you to participate. City garbage rates are slightly higher than county rates. * ReCl'cled fXlper ,.
