EFFECTIVE DATE.
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
and potential questions can be asked, and the public continues to utilize City Hall and the Public
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;
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, DO ORDAIN
