3.65.030 Functions of the district.
A. The district board may authorize a vehi-
cle fee of up to $20.00 per vehicle as provided
for by RCW 82.80.140. When authorized by
the voters pursuant to the requirements of
Chapter 36.73 RCW, other taxes, fees, charges
and tolls or increases in these revenue sources
may be assessed for the purposes provided for
in the subsections of this section.
1. Pursuant to the initial authorization of
Ordinance 3707, the district board may and has
authorized a vehicle fee of up to $20.00 per
vehicle as provided for by RCW 82.80.140 for
the purpose of the preservation, maintenance
and operations of the city streets.
2. As authorized by the voters pursuant
to the requirements of Chapter 36.73 RCW,
additional taxes, fees, charges and tolls or
increases in those revenue sources may be
assessed for the construction, reconstruction,
updating or improvement of public transporta-
tion facilities shown on the Edmonds compre-
hensive plan and transportation improvement
plan. This additional function of the district
has been authorized by ordinance amendment
in compliance with the provisions of Chapter
36.73 RCW. These additional transportation
projects authorized pursuant to the vote of the
transportation benefit district shall be deemed
funded and effective when approved by a vote
of the people in accordance with the provisions
of state law. The projects authorized shall be
limited to those specifically identified in the
proposition put to the voters.
B. Additional transportation improvements
may be added to the functions of the district
upon compliance with Chapter 36.73 RCW.
C. The board shall have and exercise all
powers and functions provided for by Chapter
36.73 RCW in order to fulfill the functions of
the district. [Ord. 3804 § 1, 2010; Ord. 3707
§ 2, 20081.
3.65.040
3.65.040 Transportation improvements
funded.
Two separate sets of functions have been
established by ordinance for the transportation
benefit district. The funds generated by a vehi-
cle fee of up to $20.00 per vehicle authorized
by the board in accordance with RCW
82.80.140 shall be used solely for transporta-
tion improvements that preserve, maintain and
operate the existing transportation infrastruc-
ture of the city, consistent with the require-
ments of Chapter 36.73 RCW. Upon authori-
zation by the voters, additional funds from
other taxes, fees, charges and tolls or increases
in these revenue sources may be utilized for
the construction of transportation improve-
ments specifically described in the proposition
submitted to the voters. Funds raised from
either revenue source may be utilized for any
lawful purpose under Chapter 36.73 RCW, but
all funds raised through the TBD shall be
expended only for the purposes specified, i.e.:
A. For the preservation, maintenance and
operation of the existing city street transporta-
tion improvement infrastructure; or
B. For projects specifically designated in a
ballot proposition approved by the voters and
utilizing the funding source approved by the
voters.
Such improvements are intended to comply
with the provisions of the Growth Manage-
ment Act and the city's comprehensive plan
and reduce the risk of transportation facilities'
failure, improve safety, continue the cost
effectiveness of the city's infrastructure
improvements and to encourage the optimum
use of the transportation system. Additional
transportation improvement projects may be
funded only after compliance with the provi-
sions of RCW 36.73.050(B) following notice,
public hearing and enactment of an additional
authorizing ordinance. [Ord. 3804 § 2, 2010;

rized to fulfill two separate functions. Each
function of the district shall expire and be dis-
solved upon its completion.
A. Street preservation, maintenance and
operation are ongoing, long-term obligations
of the city. In order to comply with the disso-
lution requirement of RCW 36.73.050, a street
resurfacing cycle of 20 years was adopted and
the district shall be deemed authentically dis-
solved with respect to the function of street
preservation, maintenance and operation 18
years from the effective date of the original
Ordinance 3707, to wit, November 28, 2026.
B. Upon authorization by the voters, the
additional transportation improvements spe-
cifically described in the proposition shall be
deemed authorized. In accordance with the
dissolution requirements of RCW 36.73.050,
the powers, duties and functions of the district
shall be deemed dissolved with respect to such
voter -approved projects when all indebtedness
of the districts with regard to such projects has
been retired and all transportation improve-
ments described in such project list have been
completed. Upon dissolution with respect to
these functions, the voters' authorization for
funding to construct such funding shall be
deemed to automatically expire. Nothing
herein shall be interpreted to prohibit the
Edmonds city council on the recommendation
of the Edmonds transportation benefit district
to dissolve the district in whole or in part
and/or reformulate it in accordance with the
provisions of RCW 36.73.050. [Ord. 3804 § 3,

either willfully or by failure to exercise due
care, such animal to commit a public nuisance

charge or control of the animal, unless said
owner or person having charge takes immedi-
ate steps to remove and properly dispose of
said feces.
Edmonds City Code
B. It shall be unlawful for the owner or per-
son having charge of any animal to take said
animal off of the private property of said per-
son without having in the possession of the
owner or person having charge of the animal a
proper means of disposal for the feces of the
animal.
C. "Disposal" is defined, for the purposes
of this section, as the removal of feces by

marily destroy it. [Ord. 3451 § 1, 20031.
5.05.110
5.05.110 Crimes relating to the
confinement of another's animal
and the abatement of private
nuisances.
A. An owner of private real property has
the right under Washington common and stat-
utory law to protect his or her property from
trespass by persons or other instrumentalities
including covered and domestic animals such
as pets. The city council finds that the exercise
of these civil rights are limited by animal cru-
elty laws and other ordinances and statutes
intended to protect the health and safety of ani-
mals. Further, the city council finds that the
inappropriate or negligent use of even humane
traps may pose a threat to animals and there-
fore prohibits the use of all traps except under
the conditions set forth in this section.
B. Crimes.
1. Unlawful Capture or Confinement of
a Pet. A person is guilty of the crime of the
unlawful capture or confinement of a pet if a
person traps, captures or otherwise confines an
animal known by the person to be the pet of
another. The unlawful capture or confinement
of a pet shall be a gross misdemeanor punish-
able as provided in ECC 5.50.020.
2. Trapping. It shall be unlawful for any
person by means of a trap or similar mechani-
cal device to intentionally trap a domestic ani-
mal, covered animal or pet. Trapping shall be
a misdemeanor punishable as provided in ECC
5.50.020. Nothing herein shall be interpreted
to prohibit a property owner from using other
lawful means to drive off a covered and
domestic animal or pet of another.
3. Negligent Confinement of an Animal.
A person is guilty of the crime of negligent
confinement of an animal if a person who
traps, captures or confines an animal fails to
promptly release an animal which the person
knows or should have known to be confined
and which is not the property of that person.
The term "release" shall include a report to a
law enforcement or animal control officer of
the city of Edmonds. Negligent confinement of
5-12.1 (Revised 1/11)
5.05.110
an animal shall be a misdemeanor punishable
as provided in ECC 5.50.020.
C. Defenses. The following acts are ex-
cluded from the crime of unlawful capture or
confinement of a pet as set forth in subsection
(B)(1) of this section or trapping as set forth in
subsection (B)(2) of this section:
1. The capture, trapping or confinement
of an injured or diseased animal in order to
protect the animal from harm or in order to
deliver or report the animal to a veterinarian,
animal control officer, Washington State wild-
life official, animal shelter or other charitable
or governmental agency charged with animal
welfare and protection; and/or
2. The actions of a city, county or state
animal control officer, law enforcement
officer or other public safety officer in the per-
formance of his or her duties. [Ord. 3634 § 2,
2007].

yers, doctors, dentists, real estate offices, etc.
H. "Commercial" and "retail buildings"
mean all types of retail and commercial busi-
ness establishments other than office buildings
and other than industrial or manufacturing, and
each such business shall be considered as a sep-
arate unit even though two or more may be in
the same building.
I. In the event there is more than one type of
operation in the same building, i.e., a profes-
sional office, a retail store, a restaurant, or an
apartment, then in that case each separate cat-
egory or type shall pay at the rate fixed under
that particular category or type.
J. "Equivalent residential unit" or "ERU"
means a sewer connection charge based upon
the winter standard water consumption of a
7.30.030
single-family residence of 7.07 per 100 cubic
feet of water. [Ord. 3339 § 1, 2000; Ord. 786 §
1, 1959].
7.30.020 Separate single-family residence
meters.
Each single-family residence building or
structure served by water shall be provided
with its own separate water meter. Prior to the
time when such additional separate meters can
be installed, water rates shall be applicable on

which are, because of the special nature of the
construction, separate and distinct from the
overall costs of the system paid by a customer
pursuant to ECC 7.30.035. These charges shall

7.50.060 Administrative rate adjustment.
The city's public works director is hereby
authorized to make adjustments to the city's
stormwater utility rates as provided in this
chapter in an amount up to 50 percent of the
rate set in the preceding section in accordance
with the following provisions:
A. Upon written application to the public
works director, a customer may request review
of the city's stormwater management utility
fee as applied to the specific developed prop-
erty to which the fee has been charged. The
applicant shall state the specific conditions
and/or facilities on the site which the applicant
feels warrants adjustment of the rate as applied
to the property.
B. On his own motion, the public works
director may initiate review of a stormwater
utility charge to any parcel.
C. The public works director shall have the
authority to increase or decrease rates up to 50
percent of the level set by the city council. The
sole criteria for adjusting the rate shall be a
determination that the physical characteristics
of the site and in particular the stormwater
detention, retention and/or treatment facilities
as installed thereon by the owners, or lack
thereof, have significantly increased the bur-
den which the property places upon the city's
stormwater utility (in the event of an increase)
or significantly decreased the burden (in the
event of a decrease) by providing additional
benefits over and above those which the aver-
age property places upon the utility through
on-site improvements including but not lim-
ited to on-site pollution control mechanisms or
technologies which relate to water quality and
the property's impact upon the city's stormwa-
ter management system. Factors personal to
the property owner, such as ability to pay, shall
not be considered.
D. The decision of the public works direc-
tor shall be in writing. It may be appealed to
the Edmonds city council for review. In that
review process the determination of the direc-
tor shall be given substantial weight and an
applicant for decrease shall have the burden of
proof. In the event the director has recom-
mended an increase, the city staff shall have
the burden of proof in the process. The deci-
sion of the Edmonds city council shall be final
7-17 (Revised 1/11)
7.50.070
and shall not be appealable. The city council
may either increase or decrease the rates
within 50 percent of that set or may elect, in its
sole discretion, to apply the rate as established
by ordinance if the city council determined
that such property does not differ substantially
from other similarly situated ratepayers and
their properties. [Ord. 3264 § 1, 1999].
7.50.070 Stormwater management system
development charge.
In addition to any other charge prescribed
by this chapter, a stormwater management sys-
tem development charge shall be paid prior to
the issuance of any building permit or develop-
ment permit issued under the Edmonds Com-
munity Development Code ("permit") by the
owner of any property, residential dwelling
unit, or other structure that may hereafter be
constructed in the city which benefits from the
stormwater utility system constructed by the
city. The stormwater management system
development charge shall be equal to $428.00
per equivalent service unit (ESU) added to or
created by the permit. ESU is defined in ECC
7.50.040(D). [Ord. 3450 § 1, 2003].

management utility.
7.60.020 Separate rates — Accountability.
7.60.030 Utility assistance fund.
7.60.010 Combination of combined water
and sewer utility and stormwater
management utility.
The city is maintaining and operating a com-
bined water supply and distribution system and
sanitary sewage disposal system and, by Chap-
ter 7.50 ECC, has created a stormwater man-
agement utility. Pursuant to the provisions of
RCW 35.67.331, the present combined water
and sewer utility, and the stormwater manage-
ment utility, together with all additions, exten-
sions and betterments thereof at any time made,
are hereby combined into a single utility; pro-
vided, that the accounting procedure for each
system shall be kept separate as required by
RCW 35.37.010. The combined water, sewer
and stormwater management utility of the city,
together with all additions, extensions and bet-
terments thereof at any time made, shall here-
inafter be called the "combined utility."
7.60.020 Separate rates — Accountability.
The council declares its intent to establish
rates for the combined water and sewer utility
and stormwater management utility. In order
to better account for the costs of the respective
components of the combined utility, the
administrative services director is directed to
maintain such separate funds and accounting
structures as may be necessary to discretely
account for the costs, expenses and revenues of
each component utility. When the staff makes
recommendations for the establishment,
increase or decrease in any rate, it is directed to

(Revised 1/11) 10-6
year as a part of the budget process, allocate
revenue from lot sales, burial fees, and all
bequests, gifts and donations received with
respect to the cemetery on a percentage basis to
said funds.
1. The cemetery improvement and
annual maintenance fund shall be used for spe-
cial projects, special events, capital improve-
ments and other recurring and nonrecurring
needs of the cemetery. Expenditures of this
fund may be made both from principal and
income and the entire amount of such fund
may be expended in any year when such
expenditures are within the annual budget
approved by the city council.
2. The cemetery maintenance trust fund
shall be held in trust for future expenditure
solely for the purpose of maintaining the cem-
etery and any capital improvements or facili-
ties located therein in the foreseeable future.
Expenditures from this fund shall be limited to
the income earned by said funds along with
any additional funds appropriated to this fund
by the council or donated by any party for the
purpose of annual maintenance. To the extent
permitted by law, the city council hereby
impresses the current fund balance of this
fund, as well as any private donations made in
trust in favor of the estate of any person buried
therein by the descendents of such persons, the
Hubbard Family Foundation and any other
persons or entities donating funds to the ceme-
tery maintenance trust fund for the sole pur-
pose of maintenance of the cemetery and its
capital improvements.
3. The city council shall consider the
number of unsold lots, the future market value
of unsold lots, and the probable earnings of the
trust fund when fully funded by the sale of all
lots when allocating revenue. The goal shall be
to actuarially fund the cemetery and mainte-
nance fund with sufficient monies so that it
may become and remain a self-sufficient
source of funding for all recurring mainte-
nance of the cemetery.

C. Monies shall be paid out of said funds
only upon warrants drawn by the cemetery
board and approved in the manner set forth in
Chapter 2.25 ECC. All warrants shall be
endorsed by the mayor and attested by the city
finance director. In no event shall any monies
be expended from the cemetery maintenance
trust fund in excess of the annual income
earned nor shall any money be diverted from
such trust fund to any purpose other than pro-
vided in this chapter. To the extent permitted
by law, the council hereby prohibits itself and
future councils from diverting funds for the
cemetery maintenance trust fund, while reserv-
ing its right to budget monies to or approve
expenditures from the cemetery maintenance
trust funding future budget years as it, in its
sole discretion, shall deem appropriate in order
to actuarially provide for the establishment of
a fund which will generate sufficient income to
meet the future foreseeable maintenance needs
of the cemetery. Expenditures of monies from
the cemetery improvement fund and the ceme-
tery maintenance trust fund shall be provided
for in the annual budget by the council subject
to the recommendation of the cemetery board.
