cluding year shall be similarly prorated. [Ord.
2837 § 2,1991; Ord. 2210 § 1, 1981; Ord. 917

3.20.050 Occupations subject to tax —
Amounts.
Sellers of electricity, gas, water and tele-

imposed by this chapter. There are levied upon
and shall be collected from every person, firm,
corporation or other entity on account of the
business activities, license and occupation
taxes in the amount to be determined by the
application of the rates against gross income, as
follows:
A. Public Utility Districts. Upon every per-
son, firm, corporation or other entity engaged
in or carrying on the business of selling or fur-
nishing electrical energy and power a fee or tax
equal in the following percentages is levied
upon the total gross income from such busi-
ness within the city of Edmonds during the tax
year for which the license is required:
1. A fee or tax equal to six percent.
2. Until December 31, 2013, an addi-
tional three-quarters of one percent for a total
of six percent shall be levied; provided, how-
ever that the additional three-quarters of one
percent shall automatically expire and be
repealed on December 31, 2013.
3. Provided, however, that there shall be
no tax or fee upon revenues derived from the
sale of electricity for the purposes of resale.
B. Natural or Manufactured Gas and Ser-
vice. Upon every person, firm, corporation or
other entity engaged in or carrying on the busi-
ness of transmitting, distributing, selling and
furnishing natural and/or manufactured gas, a
tax equal to 5-3/4 percent of the total gross
income from the sale of gas within the corpo-
rate limits of the city during and for the term
for which the occupation license is required.
C. Brokered Natural Gas — Use Tax in Lieu
of Occupations Tax. There is imposed under
the authority of RCW 35.21.870 a use tax on
3.20.050
the consumers of brokered natural gas. Such
tax shall be in lieu of the tax imposed by sub-
section B above when consumers receive nat-
ural gas directly from a producer of manufac-
tured natural gas outside of the state of
Washington. Such tax shall be the same as that
imposed on a natural manufactured gas utility
by subsection B, equal to 5-3/4 percent of the
customer's monthly purchases or other use
charge by the broker of out-of-state natural gas.
D. Telephone Business. A tax equal to 5-
3/4 percent of the gross subscribers' exchange
monthly service charges billed to business and
residence customers located within the corpo-

cent of gross income derived from intrastate
toll service provided to business and residen-
tial customers located within the corporate
limits of the city.
E. Pursuant to Chapter 4.68 ECC, Commu-
nity Antenna Television Systems, commonly
known as cable television franchisees, pay a
franchise tax of three percent. In addition
thereto, a tax is hereby levied equal to two per-
cent of the gross receipts collected by the fran-
chisee from the sale of its services in the city
of Edmonds. This additional two percent is
intended, when combined with the franchise
fee of three percent, to provide a total of fran-
chise fees and utility tax equalization amounts
equal to five percent of the gross revenues of
the franchisee derived from the sale of its cable
television services within the city of Edmonds.
Services shall include the sale of all broadcast
services to subscribers, but shall not include
revenues derived from the sale of advertising
or other minor miscellaneous, incidental reve-
nue unrelated to the sale of subscriber services
or equipment rental.
F. City Sewer Utility. The city of Edmonds,
as a seller of sewer services, shall be subject to
the tax imposed by this chapter. The sewer
utility shall pay a license fee or tax equal to six
percent on the gross income from the city's

agents, and any amount paid by the taxpayer to
the United States, the state of Washington or
the city of Edmonds as excise taxes levied or
imposed upon the sale or distribution of prop-
erty or service.

deducted from the total gross income upon
which the license fee or tax is computed, all

balance may not be available to meet the bud-
geted expenditures of the city, either presently

the administrative services director is hereby
authorized to provide loans to the general fund
from the other funds of the city. Loans may

city. Any city council member may request or
the mayor direct the administrative services
director to make such additional reports as
(Revised 2/03) 3-22

cil of any revenue deficit or interfund loan or
similar transfer. [Ord. 3431 § 1, 2002] .
3.22.030 Repayment directed.
The administrative services director is
directed and authorized to repay such loans, in
whole or in part, when budgeted general fund
revenues are received sufficient to cover the
projected foreseeable needs of the city for the
ensuing month of the budget year. In the event
of doubt regarding the foreseeable needs of the
city, the finance director is encouraged to con-
sult with the mayor and council president and
to bring questions regarding borrowing or
repayment to the city council for its advice.

citizens residing within the city's animal con-

city's designated shelter, shall be spayed or
neutered, and verification of said surgery shall
be provided before animals are adopted.
B. The city's designated veterinarian(s)
shall determine if said animals are appropriate
candidates for surgery. Dogs and cats deter-
mined by the city's designated veterinarian to
be permanently inappropriate candidates for
surgery may be adopted without surgery. Dogs
and cats at least two months of age who are
determined to be temporarily inappropriate
candidates for surgery, and dogs and cats
under two months of age, may be adopted
without surgery, providing that the city's des -
Edmonds City Code
ignated shelter shall collect and hold in trust
for the city of Edmonds a $50.00 deposit from
the adopter. Said deposit shall be returned to
the adopter upon receipt of written verification
that the animal has been spayed or neutered
within six months of adoption. If the spay or
neuter surgery is performed by a city desig-
nated veterinarian, the basic surgical costs will
be paid by the city as outlined in ECC
5.05.127.2. If the animal is determined to be a
permanently inappropriate surgical candidate,
the surgery will not be required. In such cases
the deposit shall be returned to the adopter,
upon written verification by a veterinarian of
the animal's inappropriate surgical candidacy.
Failure to have the animal spayed or neutered
within the specified time period will result in
the forfeiture of the deposit and the deposit
shall be placed in the city of Edmonds animal
benefit fund. [Ord. 3435 § 1, 2002].
5.05.127.2 Animal benefit fund established.
A. There is hereby established an animal
benefit fund for the purpose of financially
assisting low-income city of Edmonds resi-
dents in obtaining spay or neuter services for
their dogs or cats, and providing for spay and
neuter services for stray dogs and cats from the
city's animal control service area that are
placed at and retained by the city designated
shelter, and dogs and cats owned by citizens
residing within the city's animal control ser-
vice area that are surrendered at the city desig-
nated shelter prior to their adoption back into
the community. Application may be made to
the city of Edmonds animal benefit fund to
effectuate this purpose.
B. The city may grant a financial assistance
voucher to a resident in the amount of $30.00
to be applied toward the costs of obtaining
spay or neuter services for an animal by the
city's designated veterinarian(s); provided,
that, except in cases involving the spay or neu-
ter of owner -surrendered or stray animals that
will be returned to the city's designated animal
shelter, proof of the animal owner's city of
5.05.127.2
Edmonds residency, as well as a statement of
financial need, shall be required as a prerequi-
site to receiving said financial assistance
voucher.
C. After performing the necessary spay or
neuter surgery upon an animal, the city's des-
ignated veterinarian(s) may submit an invoice

ment. The invoice will be paid at full cost of
agreed-upon prevailing industry standards for
spay and neuter services, for stray dogs and
cats from the city's animal control service area
that are placed at and retained by the city des-
ignated shelter, and dogs and cats owned by
citizens residing within the city's animal con-
trol service area that are surrendered at the city
designated shelter.
D. After performing the necessary spay or
neuter surgeries upon an animal, the city's des-
ignated veterinarian(s) may submit an invoice
for $30.00 for the financial assistance voucher.
For the financial assistance voucher, the
invoice shall be submitted with a photocopy of
said voucher attached, shall be signed by a vet-
erinarian, and shall contain the following

2. Identification of the person request-
ing the spay or neuter services for the animal.

tance voucher or paid at full cost of agreed
upon prevailing industry standards for spay
and neuter services for stray dogs and cats

designated shelter. Said amount shall be drawn
exclusively from the city's animal benefit
fund. [Ord. 3435 § 2, 2002].
5.05.127.3 Definitions and integration of
initiative provisions.
ECC 5.05.127.1 and 5.05.127.2 have been
adopted pursuant to a citizens initiative. The
initiative's provisions utilize terms which are
not defined and in some cases are different
than terms utilized in these ordinances and/or
in the day to day administration of the city's
animal control system.
A. Definitions. When used in ECC
5.05.127.1 and 5.05.127.2, these terms shall
have the following definitions:
1. "Designated shelter" shall mean the
location designated by ordinance or contract
for the custody of stray or other animals by the
animal control system of the city and shall
include terms such as "designated kennel."
2. "Designated veterinarian(s)" shall
mean the veterinarian(s), entity or organiza-
tion with whom the city has contracted to per-
form the services required under this chapter.
3. "Deposit" shall mean that portion of
the adoption fee which is refundable upon
proof of spaying/neutering of the adopted ani-
mal. The term does not include administrative
fees, fines, or other charges established by this
chapter or other city ordinance.
4. "Agreed upon prevailing industry
standards for spay and neuter services" shall
be determined by reference to the rate estab-
lished by ordinance or a contract with the des-
ignated veterinarian(s).
B. Integration. The provisions of ECC
5.05.127.1 and 5.05.127.2 have been adopted
pursuant to initiative (hereinafter "initiative
provisions"). Initiatives are prohibited by state
law from imposing administrative detail or
from exercising powers delegated specifically
to the city council. In the event of ambiguity or
conflict regarding the provisions of ECC
5.05.127.1 or 5.05.127.2, the following rules
of interpretation shall apply:
(Revised 2/03) 5-18.2
1. With respect to the interpretation of
any term or concept of the initiative provisions
relating to the adoption of dogs or cats from
the city's designated shelter, any ambiguity or
conflict relating to adoption shall be inter-
preted to require or encourage the spaying or
neutering of dogs or cats adopted from the
city's animal control system.
2. With respect to ambiguities or con-
flicts between the initiative provisions and
administrative provisions of the city code, or
any contract approved by the city council, the
administrative provisions of the city code or a
contract shall control.
3. With respect to ambiguity or conflict
between the initiative provisions and any exer-
cise of a power delegated to the legislative
power of the city council by statute or the
Washington State Constitution, the exercise of
the city council's legislative power shall con-
trol.
4. Any attempt by the initiative provi-
sions, including Section 3 of Ordinance 3435,
to exercise a power in excess of powers avail-
able through the initiative process and/or to
exercise a power which is unavailable to the
city shall be void and interpreted in a manner
consistent with the scope of initiative powers.
[Ord. 3438 § 3, 2002].
