Water will be turned on after payment of the fees as set forth in ECC 7.10.070, in addition to the amount of delinquent charges. B. At least 10 days before water is sched- uled to be shut off, the administrative services director, or a designated city official, shall notify the owner and the occupant of the prop- erty. The owner shall be notified by mail at the address on the account, and the occupant shall be notified by mail, door hanger or other form at the property. Mailed notices shall be deemed received three business days after mailing. All notices shall contain the following: 1. Reason for water shut off, 2. Delinquent amount that needs to be paid to avert interruption in water service; 3. Instructions on scheduling a hearing to show that the account is not delinquent; and 4. The day on or after which water will be shut off. C. After notification, the owner and the occupant shall be afforded the opportunity to present to the administrative services director, or a designated official, evidence that the delin- quent charges have been paid. Such opportu- nity shall be afforded before the water is shut off, provided, that the owner or the occupant make a request for the same to the administra- tive services director, or a designated official, within three days of presumptive receipt of the notice. The burden shall be on the owner and/or 7-3 (Revised 10/15) 7.10.025 occupant to prove that the delinquent charges have been paid. D. After reviewing the evidence by the owner and/or occupant, the administrative ser- vices director, or the designated official to whom the evidence was presented, shall decide whether or not the account remains delinquent. The owner and the occupant shall be notified of the decision, and this decision shall not be sub- ject to further appeal. If the account is found to be delinquent and water has not been shut off, water will be shut off as previously scheduled or three days after final decision, whichever date is later. If the account is not found to be delinquent and water has been shut off, water will be turned on without being subject to turn on and turn off charges in ECC 7.10.070.

A charge equal to $25.00 shall be added as a fee to each delinquent utility bill, except in cases of extraordinary hardship as determined by the finance director or his/her designee. The decision of the finance director can be appealed to the Edmonds city council by filing an appeal with the city clerk no later than 14 days after the director's decision was mailed. The account shall be considered delinquent if full payment is not made within 35 days after the sending of the regular billing. Such delin- quency notice and billing will be provided 35 days following the mailing of a regular utility bill. This charge shall be applicable to all delin- quent utility billing accounts. In order to be considered delinquent the outstanding princi- pal balance of an account must total at least $40.00, and no delinquency charge shall be levied against any account balance under $40.00. This delinquency charge shall be paid prior to the application of any payment against the fee or charge initially assessed and nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the city's (Revised 10/15) 7-4 collection of its attorneys' fees and other rea- sonable costs and charges in the event it is forced to seek judicial remedy for collection. Nothing herein shall be interpreted to limit the city's ability to enforce a sewerage lien on properties for delinquent and unpaid sewerage utility bills, as authorized by RCW 35.67.200 through 35.67.290, including terminating water service until charges are paid and/or pur- suing sewerage lien foreclosure.

In the event that a supplier notifies the city of a shortage of water or the director reason- ably determines such a shortage to be immi- nent, the community services director or Edmonds City Code his/her designee is authorized to implement the water shortage response plan in order to effi- ciently safeguard the safety and health of the general public or to provide for the public con- venience. The use of water in the city, or in any portion thereof, for irrigation, cooling, sprin- kling or other uses may be forbidden, re- stricted, or regulated and such regulations may be made effective as to all customers or as to 7-4.1 7.10.060 (Revised 10/15) This page left intentionally blank. (Revised 10/15) 7-4.2 Edmonds City Code nection shall not be completed until such time such assessed costs are paid.

(Revised 10/15) 7-6.2 Edmonds City Code immediate reinstatement or reemployment of such person in the office, place, position or em- ployment from which such person was re- moved, suspended, demoted or discharged; which reinstatement shall, if the commission so provides in its discretion, be retroactive, and entitle such person to pay or compensation from the time of such removal, suspension, de- motion or discharge. The commission, upon such investigation in lieu of affirming the re- moval, suspension, demotion or discharge by directing a suspension, without pay, for a given period, and subsequent restoration to duty, or demotion in classification grade, or pay; the findings of the commission shall be certified in writing to the appointing power and shall be forthwith enforced by such officer. All investigations made by the commission pursuant to the provisions of this section shall be had by public hearing, after reasonable notice to the accused of the time and place of such hearing, at which hearing the accused shall be afforded an opportunity of appearing in person and by counsel and presenting his/her defense. If such judgment or order be con- curred in by the commission or a majority thereof, the accused may appeal therefrom to the court of original and unlimited jurisdiction in civil suits of the county wherein he resides. Such appeal shall be taken by serving the com- mission, within 30 days after the entry of such judgment or order, a written notice of appeal, stating the grounds thereof and demanding that a certified transcript of the record and all papers on file in the office of the commission affecting or relating to such judgment or order, be filed by the commission with such court. The commission shall, within 10 days after the filing of such notice, make, certify and file such transcript with such court. The court of original and unlimited jurisdiction in civil suits shall thereupon proceed to hear and determine such appeal in a summary manner; provided, how- ever, that such hearing shall be confined to the determination of whether the judgment or order of removal, discharge, demotion or sus - 10.25.090 pension made by the commission was or was not made in good faith for cause, and no appeal to such court shall be taken except upon such ground or grounds. 10.25.090 Filling of vacancies — Probationary period. A. Original Appointment to Department. Whenever a vacancy exists, or upon the request of the appointing authority, the com- mission shall certify the names of the persons highest on the applicable eligibility list for the class who are willing to accept appointments in the following numbers: 1. For lists developed through internal testing on an annual basis, or more frequently as requested by the appointing authority, the names of the top five candidates in rank order based upon their final examination scores, including veteran's preference, if applicable. 2. In the continuing testing process, the names of no more than the top 20 candidates in rank order based upon their final examination scores, including veterans' preference, if applicable. B. Promotion Appointments. Whenever the appointing authority determines that a vacancy shall be filled by a promotional appointment, the commission shall certify from the appro- priate eligibility list names as follows: 1. For each and every police officer position above the rank of second class police officer, the commission shall certify the three highest names on such list, from which the appointing authority may appoint any one. 2. For all other employee and noncom- missioned positions covered by civil service, the commission shall certify the three highest names on the eligibility list, from which the appointing authority may appoint any one. 3. Nothing herein shall obligate the appointment authority to fill any position. C. Procedure to Fill Vacancies. If more than one vacancy is to be filled, an additional name shall be certified for each additional vacancy. The appointing authority shall after review of 10-15 (Revised 10/15) 10.25.100 the person so certified appoint one person to each such vacant position. If any person certi- fied by the commission is removed from the list or otherwise requests not to be considered for appointment, the commission shall forthwith certify the next highest person on the list to re- place those removed. The commission in their rules shall establish a procedure for removal of names from the eligibility list either prior to or subsequent to certification to the appointment authority. Whenever requisition is to be made or whenever a position is held by a temporary appointee and an eligible list for the class of such position exists, the commission shall forthwith certify the names of the persons eli- gible for appointment to the appointing power and the appointing power shall appoint one person so certified; provided they are found to be in fact qualified, to the position. D. Probation — Extensions. To enable the appointing authority to exercise a choice in the filling of promotions, no appointment, employ- ment or promotion in any position in the clas- sified service shall be deemed complete until after the completion of a satisfactorily served probationary period. The probationary period for new employees shall be 12 months. The probationary period for persons promoted or transferred to positions with different job descriptions shall be six months. Persons re- employed who have formerly acquired perma- nent status in the class shall not be subject to probation. During such probationary periods the appointing power may terminate the employment of the person certified, if during the performance test thus afforded, upon obser- vation or consideration of the performance of duty, the appointing authority shall designate one of the persons certified as standing within the next three persons highest on the list. Such person shall likewise enter upon the duties until some person is found who is deemed fit for appointment, employment or promotion for the probationary period provided therefor, where- upon the appointment, employment or promo- tion shall be deemed to be complete. The (Revised 10/15) 10-16 commission shall provide a procedure in their rules for extending probationary period of any employee for up to an additional six months if requested by the appointing authority.
