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.

ADDITIONAL FACTS
~ Police response time is faster within the City as officers are on duty
24 hours per day, have less land area to cover and are usually within
the City Ilmits. Calls from county residents go out first to the
Thurston Co. Sheriff's Office, they have a much larger land area to
cover, after county notification Yelm P.O. will respond as/if needed.
~ Street standards are higher in the City.
~ pedestrian areas are required in the City.
~ Permits would be handled locally, except for those requlrlng health
department approval i.e. septic.
~ Fire protection remains unchanged.
~ Service availability first to city residents, l.e. water, sewer.
The staff and elected officials welcome you as a new resident of Yelm and
look forward to working with you.
