During the Sunnyside City Council meeting on July 28, 2025, significant changes were proposed to the city’s agenda, including the repeal of the crime-free rental housing program. This decision aims to eliminate Chapter 5.02 of the Sunnyside Municipal Code, reflecting a shift in the city’s approach to housing regulations.

Additionally, the council voted to extend the paid administrative leave for the city manager, which also necessitated an extension of the interim city manager's agreement. These actions indicate ongoing adjustments in city leadership and governance.

The meeting also included discussions about adding a new item to the executive session agenda, specifically to evaluate the qualifications of an applicant for public employment or to review the performance of a public employee. This addition underscores the council's commitment to transparency and accountability in city management.

Overall, these decisions highlight the council's proactive stance on housing policy and leadership continuity, which are crucial for the community's stability and growth. As the council moves forward, these changes are expected to shape the city's governance and housing landscape in the coming months.
