2024 BUDGET SUMMARY BY FUND
3
plus one of the whole membership of the council (RCW 35A.12.130). Due to various factors, the
city council was not able to complete its budget deliberations and adopt its final 2024 budget until
December 27, 2023. Without an emergency declaration, and the requisite vote to properly declare
an emergency, the City of Edmonds budget ordinance would not take effect until after January 1,
2024 and city operations would need to shut down, potentially endangering the public health,
safety, and welfare. Therefore, this ordinance must take immediate effect.
Section 6. Effective Date. This ordinance, being exempt under RCW 35A.11.090, is not
subject to referendum and shall take effect and be in full force and effect immediately upon
passage, as set forth herein, as long as it is approved by a majority plus one of the entire
membership of the council, as required by RCW 35A.12.130. If it is only approved by a majority
of the council, it will take effect five days after passage and publication.
