Amending ECC 1.03.020 Posting of Notices
Staff Lead: City Clerk
Department: City Clerk's Office
Preparer: Scott Passey
Background/History
Since 1984, the city has established official posting places for city notices. Currently, the designated
posting places include: 1) Edmonds Public Safety Complex; 2) Edmonds Public Library; and 3) Edmonds
City Hall.
The Edmonds Post Office had been an official posting place until the building was remodeled and they
elected to remove their bulletin board.
Staff Recommendation
Consider ordinance amending ECC 1.03.020 to eliminate the Edmonds Library as a posting place.
Narrative
With changes in technology and access since 1984, notices located at city buildings are more logical, and
online access is more functional. It is more logical to access printed notices in spaces where civic
engagement occurs and potential questions can be answered, the public continues to utilize City Hall
and the Public Safety Building for accessing postings.
We have met with Edmonds Library staff who indicated their support for removing city notices. Posting
is done in the interior area of the building which is only accessible and viewable during library hours. The
library currently uses a portion of the space to post community events in multiple languages and sees
better value in using the space for this. From their perspective, the board has increasingly become an
antiquated and marginalized tool for the purpose of serving notices. Library staff have had to manage
the board by removing non -City notices and answering questions which they inevitably direct to City Hall
or the appropriate website for the most current information.
We have spoken with the Port of Edmonds to gather input. They removed their public notice postings
during COVID-19, and the library was closed for months. They also noted, every time before COVID
when they went to update the pages, they were ripped down or written on. Furthermore, we never had
a member of the public refer to our Agenda or Minutes at the Library. After they were removed, we still
never had anyone ask about them.
The City Clerk's Office has received no input from citizens during COVID or while the Library was closed.
We have noticed an increased reliance by the public on digital posting to the city website. Paper notices
with links are not as functional or informative to our community with agendas and packets being readily
Packet Pg. 66
2.5
available in their entirety online as well as email sign up for notifications. In summary, posting paper
notices at the Library is an obsolete practice that does not reflect the public's preferences for accessing
city information in the 21st century.

You don't often get email from rsuico@sno-isle.org. Learn why this is important
Hi Nicholas,
Thank you for your email and I appreciate the opportunity to discuss the use of public
notice board in the library as well as our shared involvement and enthusiasm of the
City's and other community partners' participation in the upcoming LGBTQIA+
event/festival this summer!
Regarding your inquiry about the Public Notice board and the posting of City Notices at
the library, I have taken some time to consider your points. From my perspective, the
board has increasingly become an antiquated and marginalized tool for the purpose of
serving notices. Library staff have had to manage the board by removing non -City
notices and answering questions which we inevitably direct to City Hall or the
appropriate website for further and the most current information.
Considering the advancements in technology and, especially, since Covid, more citizens
utilizing and being comfortable with online methods of communicaton which are the
most up to date and fleshed out, I agree with your perspective on streamlining the
process.
I will support your proposal to retain City Hall and the Public Safety Building as official
posting places, given their significance and accessibility. As for the Edmonds Library, I
can see the merit in your suggestion to remove it as an official posting site for city
notices. In today's digital age, leveraging the City website for meeting notices aligns with
modern civic engagement practices, offering detailed information, clickable links, and
email notification sign-up options.
I support your intention to submit this recommendation to Council in February. Let this
serve as justification and notice of said support.
If you require any additional information or if there are specific aspects you would like
me to address in my input, please let me know.
Thankyou again and I look forward to your presentation and Council's decision.

We post it on our website, the city's website, MyEdmondsNews online paper and we publish it in our "official w
a�
Newspaper"- The Everett Herald.
We removed it from the library when COVID hit and the library was closed for months. Plus, every time before COVID
when I went to update the pages, they were ripped down, written on or something else gross. And we never had a E
a
member of the public refer to our Agenda or Minutes at the Library. After they were removed, we still never had anyone
ask about them. c
Looking through the RCWs, I see that the City may have some different requirements for posting their agendas.
We have a resolution for where and how we post it.
I hope that this helps you! Good Luck!

I am working on an Edmonds Code amendment to remove posting at the Public Library for notices. I met with the Library
and they mentioned that the Port no longer posts there either. Is this accurate information? It would lend to our efforts if
the Port removed that requirement. Thank you for the information.

WHEREAS, Since 1984, the city has three designated official posting places for city
notices: 1) Edmonds Public Safety Complex (council chambers); 2) Edmonds Public Library; and
3) Edmonds City Hall; and
WHEREAS, it is logical to access printed notices in spaces where civic engagement occurs

Safety Building for accessing postings; and
WHEREAS, with changes in technology since 1984, online access is more functional than
ever before; and
WHEREAS, the City has seen an increased reliance by the public on digital posting to the
City website, where agendas and council packets are readily available in their entirety online; and
WHEREAS, posting in the Edmonds Public Library is done in the interior area of the
building which is only accessible and viewable during library hours; and
WHEREAS, library staff have had to manage the public notice posting board by removing
non -City notices and answering questions, which they direct to City Hall or the appropriate website
for further and the most current information; and
WHEREAS, library staff have used a portion of the public notice posting space to post
community events in multiple languages, which is a valuable tool for the community; and
WHEREAS, during a portion of the COVID-19 pandemic the Edmonds Public Library was
closed, and the City received no feedback from citizens regarding the lack of access to the
Library's notice posting location being inaccessible; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has determined that where there is value in retaining City
Hall and the Public Safety Building as official posting places, as well maintaining online postings,
it is reasonable to eliminate the Edmonds Library as a posting requirement; NOW THEREFORE;

of the City of Edmonds, Washington

Ordinance No. A summary of the content of said ordinance, consisting
of the title, provides as follows:
AN ORDINANCE OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,

City Council Agenda Item
Meeting Date: 02/13/2024
Council Rules of Procedure
Staff Lead: City Clerk
Department: City Clerk's Office
Preparer: Scott Passey
Background/History
In 2013, the City Council passed Resolution No. 1295, which adopted Robert's Rules of Order as its
parliamentary authority for the conduct of City Council meetings. In December 2013, the Council passed
Resolution No. 1306 adopting a Code of Conduct and in June 2015, the Council approved a Code of
Ethics by motion. On January 25, 2021, the Council adopted a new Code of Conduct by motion.
Because Resolution No. 1295 is limited to parliamentary procedure in the context of Council meetings,
such rules do not address many other processes and procedures in the conduct of City business. It is
thought that a more comprehensive set of rules would provide greater understanding and transparency
about the roles, rights, and responsibilities of councilmembers and facilitate the orderly conduct of
business within the context of council meetings.
The draft rules of procedure address Council organization, duties of officers, agenda preparation,
meeting management, consent agenda, public testimony, decorum, motions, and other important areas.
The draft also includes Council's recent adoption of a Code of Conduct as Section 6; this was done to
consolidate all applicable rules into one document.
It is important to note that many provisions of these rules of procedure are already governed by other
codes, statutes, and rulings. Any provision that is footnoted with a citation to the Revised Code of
Washington (RCW), the Edmonds City Code (ECC), or other statute or ruling is included for ease of
reference only and is not intended to be adopted as a rule because it already constitutes governing law.
Provisions that are not footnoted with a citation to the RCW or ECC are adopted by City Council
resolution as the Council's procedural rules and may be amended at any time by subsequent resolution.
On April 6, 2021, the Council passed Resolution 1470, which established that the Council adopted its
own Code of Conduct separate from that which applies to the Mayor and members of City boards,
commissions, committees, and work groups. The proposed Rules of Procedure and the Code of Conduct
were presented and discussed on February 4, 2020, January 26, 2021, and April 6, 2021. For comparison
purposes, prior drafts of the rules of procedure are included in the online Council meeting packets of
February 4, 2020 and March 3, 2020.
On April 6, 2021, a motion was passed to table consideration of the draft Rules of Procedure for a period
of three weeks. The draft rules were scheduled on the June 1, 2021 council agenda, but consideration
was postponed due to lack of time.
Packet Pg. 76
2.6
On August 3, 2021, the Council considered the draft rules, made amendments, and instructed the city
attorney to bring back additional language for potential amendments to various sections of the rules.
A new Section 7 entitled "Code of Ethics" has been added to incorporate the Code of Ethics adopted by
the City Council on June 2, 2015.
Recommendation
Place approval of Council Rules of Procedure Section 3 - Agenda Preparation and Section 8 - Public
Testimony on next available consent agenda.
Narrative
It is thought that approving the draft Rules of Procedure by Section, or in segments, would be the most
practical approach to accomplishing this 2024 goal. The draft includes 14 sections, as follows:
SECTION 1. AUTHORITY
SECTION 2. COUNCIL ORGANIZATION
SECTION 3. AGENDA PREPARATION
SECTION 4. CONSENT AGENDA
SECTION 5. COUNCIL MEETINGS
SECTION 6. COUNCIL CONDUCT
SECTION 7. CODE OF ETHICS
SECTION 8. PUBLIC TESTIMONY
SECTION 9. MOTIONS
SECTION 10. ITEMS REQUIRING FOUR VOTES
SECTION 11. ITEMS REQUIRING A UNANIMOUS VOTE
SECTION 12. COUNCIL REPRESENTATION
SECTION 13. REIMBURSEMENT OF EXPENSES
SECTION 14. SUSPENSION AND AMENDMENT OF RULES
Proposed Workplan for Adopting Council Rules of Procedure
1. Address the draft rules of procedure by section or segments, starting with the most
timely/highest priority section(s).
2. Focus on one segment each month:
a. City Clerk and Council staff review and indicate any recommended revisions.
b. Council President review.
C. Place on agenda for review of Council Committee
d. If committee recommends segment for council approval on consent - place on a future
consent agenda for approval and implement that segment as adopted policy.
e. If committee recommends revisions or full council discussion - add to future council
business when agenda time allows.
Once all segments are approved, adopt a resolution with the comprehensive set of rules of procedures
as an attachment.

Section 3. Agenda Preparation.
3.1 Under the direction of the Council President and Mayor, the City Clerk will
prepare an agenda for each meeting of the full Council and Council committees,
specifying the time and place of the meeting and setting forth a brief general
description of each item to be considered by the Council. Agendas are subject to
review and/or modification by the Council President.
3.2 An item for a Council meeting may be placed on the agenda by one of the
following methods:
A Majority vote or consensus of the Council.
B. By the Council President or Council President Pro Tern when acting in the
absence of the Council President.
The Council President will make every effort to place an item Council
approved by consensus or majority vote on an agenda. If time is not
available for the requested date, it shall be placed on the next available
agenda.
3.3 Agenda memos shall be in a standard format. The Mayor shall determine the
format.
3.4 Agenda items will generally be prioritized in the following order of importance: 1)
joint meetings or presentations involving outside agencies; 2) items scheduled for
statutory compliance; 3) advertised public hearings; 4) continued items from a
prior meeting; and 5) items scheduled for convenience, such as those involving
outside consultants.
3.5 Except when the Council President has authorized an exception for items of an
emergency or unexpected nature requiring immediate action, ordinances
scheduled for Council action will receive a minimum of two readings. Action by
the Council (by the consent agenda, or council motion and vote) will always be
one of the readings. Other reading(s) will be in the number the topic warrants,
and could include any or all of the following-
1 . publication on the extended agenda
2. presentation of the topic by staff
3. discussion at council committee and/or meetings of the full council
4. public hearings (sometimes mandated by law)
Packet Pg. 79
2.6.a
Section 8. Public Testimony.
8.1 Regular Meetings.
A. Members of the public may address the City Council at any Regular
Meeting under "Audience Comments." During this portion of the meeting,
individuals may speak to agenda items or any other topic except those
scheduled for a public hearing or as noticed as a closed record review.
Individuals may speak for three minutes or less. If time is available, the
Presiding Officer may call for additional unsigned speakers. No person
may use public comment to promote or oppose any candidate for public
office. In election years, a campaign officially starts when a candidate
officially files their candidacy with the State or a county election office and
runs through the election.
8.2 When large numbers of people are signed up to speak on the same topic, the
Presiding Officer may request that the group(s) select a limited number of
speakers to cover their view and then ask all those who agree with that position
to stand at the conclusion of each presentation.
8.3 When representing the official position of a local agency or organization within
the city's jurisdiction, a speaker may be given five minutes and it will be recorded
as the official position of that organization. Requests for a five-minute
presentation must be made in advance and granted by the Council President or a
Council majority. Each organization shall have only one (1) five-minute
presentation per year.
8.4 Public testimony authorized in Section 8.1 and 8.2 may not include comments or
information on any quasi-judicial matter pending before the City Council, or on
any topic for which Council has closed the public record.
8.5 No person shall be allowed to address the Council while it is in session without
the recognition of the Presiding Officer.
8.6 It shall be unlawful for any person in the audience at a Council meeting to do any
of the following: Engage in disorderly, disruptive, disturbing, delaying or
boisterous conduct, such as, but not limited to, handclapping, stomping of feet,
whistling, making noise, use of profane language or obscene gestures, yelling or
similar demonstrations, which conduct substantially interrupts, delays, or disturbs
the peace and good order of the proceedings of the Council.'
8.7 Persons testifying shall identify themselves for the record as to name, City of
residence and any organization represented.
8.8 An instruction notice for speakers will be available at the meeting. Speakers will

B. The Presiding Officer may allow additional time for receipt of written
testimony when needed.
C. The Clerk shall be the timekeeper.
D. Prior to closing the hearing the Presiding Officer shall inquire if there are
any additional speakers other than those that have signed up and
previously spoken, and if there are they shall be allowed to testify.

Abandonment of a Dependent Person
Staff Lead: Commander Shane Hawley
Department: Police Services
Preparer: Alexandra Ehlert
Background/History
This ECC amendment adopts by reference, RCW 9A.42.080 (Abandonment of a dependent person in the
third degree). The first, and second-degree statues are both felonies. This adoption allows us to
properly charge violations of this statute into our municipal court.
This amendment also strikes RCW 9.61.260 (Cyberstalking) from the ECC. The RCW for that crime has
changed. At this time, we are working on a comprehensive update for all computer -based crimes and
will be bringing forward several additional ECC updates for them in the next session (March of 2024).
This amendment adopts by reference sections of RCW 9A.42.080 into ECC 5.34.010.
Staff Recommendation
Accept and modify Edmonds Municipal Code section 5.34.010 adding RCW 9A.42.080 to the city code.

Interfering with Health Care
Staff Lead: Commander Shane Hawley

Background/History
The crime of interfering with a health care facility has been adopted under the ECC since 1993, when it
was adopted under session law. Since that time, the RCW has been updated. This amendment adopts
the RCW by reference as well as other important portions of the RCW that are needed for enforcement
of the city code. This statute has particular penalty requirements, which were not incorporated under
the current city code. Also included is the adoption of RCW 9A.50.060, which is a protection for
picketing activities.
This amendment adopts by reference sections of RCW 9A.50 into ECC 5.34.080.

RCW 9A.50.005 Finding. The legislature finds that seeking or obtaining health care is fundamental
to public health and safety. [1993 c 128 § 1.]
RCW 9A.50.010 Definitions. Unless the context clearly requires otherwise, the definitions in this
section apply throughout this chapter. (1) "Health care facility" means a facility that provides health
care services directly to patients, including but not limited to, a hospital, clinic, health care
provider's office, health maintenance organization, diagnostic or treatment center,
neuropsychiatric or mental health facility, hospice, or nursing home. (2) "Health care provider" has
the same meaning as defined in RCW 7.70.020 (1) and (2), and also means an officer, director,
employee, or agent of a health care facility who sues or testifies regarding matters within the scope
of his or her employment. (3) "Aggrieved" means: (a) A person, physically present at the health care
facility when the prohibited actions occur, whose access is or is about to be obstructed or
impeded; (b) A person, physically present at the health care facility when the prohibited actions
occur, whose care is or is about to be disrupted; (c) The health care facility, its employees, or
agents; (d) The owner of the health care facility or the building or property upon which the health
care facility is located. [1993 c 128 § 2.]
RCW 9A.50.020 Interference with health care facility. It is unlawful for a person except as otherwise
protected by state or federal law, alone or in concert with others, to willfully or recklessly interfere
with access to or from a health care facility or willfully or recklessly disrupt the normal functioning
of such facility by: (1) Physically obstructing or impeding the free passage of a person seeking to
enter or depart from the facility or from the common areas of the real property upon which the
facility is located; (2) Making noise that unreasonably disturbs the peace within the facility; (3)

Background/History
Identity theft crimes are something that affects virtually every person at some point in their life. One
common method of making someone an identity theft victim is by stealing someone's personal
identification cards (Driver's License).
RCW 9A.56.330 is a companion law to RCW 9.35.020-Identity Theft, which is a felony. This RCW fills a
gap where law enforcement encounters someone in possession of someone else's identification that
they should not have, but they have yet to use it fraudulently. It provides a valuable tool to help
prevent Identity Theft.
The RCW has been in existence since 2003.
This amendment adopts by reference RCW 9A.56.330 into ECC 5.28.010.
Staff Recommendation
Accept and modify Edmonds Municipal Code section 5.28.010 adding RCW 9A.56.330 to the city code.

person's personal identification in the ordinary course of business;
