imal AND KENNELING OF DOGS AND CATS, AMENDING CHAPTER 5.05 BY THE ADDITION OF
im
Shelter A NEW SECTION 5.05.127.3 DEFINITIONS AND A NEW SECTION 5.05.127.4, FAILURE TO
SPAY OR NEUTER.
Councilmember Marin recalled the Council adopted the citizen initiative at their last meeting. He
explained at the December 17 meeting he proposed a draft ordinance that established a fee system that
would not require funding by the City. He advised that the ordinance had been reviewed by City
Attorney Scott Snyder over the past few weeks.
COUNCILMEMBER MARIN MOVED, SECONDED BY COUNCILMEMBER ORVIS, FOR
APPROVAL OF ORDINANCE NO. 3438.
Councilmember Petso proposed an amendment to delete the last sentence in Section 5.05.127(C), "All
other animals, at the expiration of 72 hours, shall be scheduled for examination by a City contracted
veterinarian and be spayed or neutered, if required, as directed in ECC 5.05.127.1 and made available
for adoption." She noted if this sentence were not deleted, the City would be required to spay /neuter
animals at the expiration of 72 hours at the City's expense and when the animal was adopted, $50 would
be refunded to the adopting party, resulting in the procedure no longer being revenue neutral. She
indicated she had discussed this with Councilmember Marin and Mr. Snyder.
Councilmember Marin accepted Councilmember Petso's proposal as a friendly amendment to his motion.
Councilmember Orvis agreed.
Council President Earling expressed his appreciation to Councilmember Marin for his efforts to draft this
ordinance and bring this matter to a conclusion.
MOTION (WITH THE AMENDMENT PROPOSED BY COUNCILMEMBER PETSO) CARRIED
UNANIMOUSLY. The ordinance approved is as follows:
ORDINANCE NO. 3438 OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, AMENDING
EDMONDS CITY CODE SECTIONS 5.05.030 AND 5.05.100(C) TO REQUIRE THAT

CONTRACTED ANIMAL SHELTER SHALL HAVE BEEN SPAYED OR NEUTERED PRIOR TO
ADOPTION, SETTING AN ADOPTION FEE TO RECOVER THE COST ASSOCIATED WITH
ANIMAL CONTROL, VETERINARY SERVICE AND KENNELING OF DOGS AND CATS,
AMENDING CHAPTER 5.05 BY THE ADDITION OF A NEW SECTION 5.05.127.3,
DEFINITIONS, AND A NEW SECTION 5.05.127.4, FAILURE TO SPAY OR NEUTER;
N
PENALTIES, AND FIXING A TIME WHEN THE SAME SHALL BECOME EFFECTIVE.
12. REPORT ON CITY COUNCIL COMMITTEE MEETINGS OF DECEMBER 10, 2002
ommunity Community Services/Development Services Committee
Services / Councilmember Marin reported the Committee first discussed the fee charged for amateur radio
ervicepment antennas, explaining when the fee schedule was established, it was envisioned a ham radio antenna was a
mmittee very large structure. However, in many instances, they are relatively small, similar to a television
antenna. The Committee recommended staff bring the issue to the Planning Board for review of the code
section requiring a conditional use permit for amateur radio antennas. The next item the Committee

considered was the signage element of the design guidelines for Architectural Design Review. Staff was
directed to make changes to the proposed revised process and forward it to the City Attorney for a draft
ordinance to be reviewed by the full Council with recommendation for adoption from the Committee.
The final item the Committee considered was the municipal regulations relating to drug paraphernalia
due to the availability of drug paraphernalia at a convenience store near a school. Due to the difficulty in
regulating these items, the Committee asked that the matter be considered again by the Committee, with
the possibility of encouraging a civic organization to protest, write letters, etc. to the store.
finance Finance Committee
ommittee Councilmember Orvis reported the Council had taken action on most of the items discussed by the
Committee. He reported on the Committee's review of a process authorizing interfund loans, explaining
this was a process of making temporary loans between funds due to revenues that are received on a
periodic basis rather than month -to- month. He noted it did not change the budget but facilitated a more
smooth administration. He noted this issue would proceed to the Council. The Committee also
discussed a stormwater system development change and asked that the issue be reviewed by the
Community Services/Development Services Committee along with the Stormwater Comprehensive Plan.
Public Public Safety Committee
Safety Councilmember Petso reported most of the items discussed by the Committee had been approved on the
Committee Consent Agenda with the exception of a proposal to extend the 3 -hour parking zone on both sides of
Walnut Street from 3rd Avenue to 120 feet east of 5"' Avenue S. The Committee directed staff to present
this item to the full Council for a public hearing.
13. MAYOR'S COMMENTS
Mayor Haakenson welcomed Student Representative Michelle Trias. Mayor Haakenson congratulated
Council President Earling and Council President Pro Tem Marin on their appointments and indicated he
looked forward to working with them.
14. COUNCIL COMMENTS
Council President Earling requested Councilmembers provide any suggestions regarding agenda topics
for the Council Retreat to him by noon on Thursday, January 9. He commented although the retreat in
the past had been 1' /z days, he encouraged Councilmembers to plan on two full days as one full day
would be necessary for discussion of long term financing issues.
Councilmembers Dawson and Wilson welcomed Student Representative Michelle Trias.
Councilmember Marin expressed his pleasure at the Council being able to amicably conclude the
spay /neuter issue with a unanimous vote. He welcomed Student Representative Michelle Trias.
Student Representative Michelle Trias commented she was excited to work with the Council and Mayor.
