A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS,
WASHINGTON, ADOPTING AN INTERSECTION TRAFFIC SAFETY CAMERA
LOCATION ANALYSIS CONDUCTED PURSUANT TO RCW 46.63.170
WHEREAS, the Washington State Legislature, under Chapter 46.63 RCW, established its intent
to promote the public safety and welfare on public highways and facilitate the implementation
of a uniform and expeditious system for the disposition of traffic infractions; and
WHEREAS, as part of that effort, the Legislature enacted RCW 46.63.170 relating to the use of
automated traffic safety cameras; and
WHEREAS, that statute authorizes the use of automated traffic safety cameras by local
jurisdictions, provided that, before enacting an ordinance allowing for the use of such cameras,
the appropriate local legislative authority first prepares an analysis of the locations within the
jurisdiction where automated traffic safety cameras are proposed to be located; and
WHEREAS, the City Council has previously adopted such an analysis for the use of traffic
safety cameras in school zones; and
WHEREAS, certain school zone traffic safety cameras were subsequently authorized by
Ordinance 4 2 92; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is now undertaking an analysis of the possible use of traffic safety
cameras at signalized intersections; and
WHEREAS, the City Council is considering whether to authorize the addition of traffic safety
cameras at up to nine specific signalized intersection locations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council, after review and discussion, has determined that it is in the best
interests of the city to adopt the automated traffic safety camera analysis of these nine signalized
intersection locations pursuant to RCW 46.63.l 70(1)(a); and
WHEREAS, any decision to authorize the use of traffic safety cameras for any or all of these
nine signalized intersection locations will occur, not through this resolution, but through
subsequent council action; NOW, THEREFORE,
THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF EDMONDS, WASHINGTON, HEREBY
