Officials from the Yakima Police Department will give a presentation along with presentations from leaders in local churches, the school district and local non-profit organizations. Yakima City Councilwoman Dulce Gutierrez will also make a presentation to the Governor.

The meeting at 14 S. Fourth Street will be held from 3:00 p.m. to 4:30 p.m. Thursday.
