plying with its requirements upon the owners
and keepers of animals. [Ord. 3451 § 1, 2003].

5.05.010 Definitions.
A. "Animal control authority" means the
person, association or corporation, appointed
or authorized by the city of Edmonds and/or
the chief of police or his designee, to enforce
the provisions of this chapter and all other
ordinances of the city pertaining to animal
control.
B. "Animal control officers" means offic-
ers employed by the animal control authority
and includes police officers.
(Revised 1/12) 5-8

property; or (3) been previously found to be
potentially dangerous, the owner having
received notice of such and the dog again
aggressively bites, attacks, or endangers the
safety of humans or domestic animals; pro-
vided, however, that an animal shall not be
considered a "dangerous dog" if the threat,
injury, or damage was sustained by a person
who, at the time, was committing a willful tres-
pass or other tort upon the premises occupied
by the owner of the dog, or was tormenting,
abusing, or assaulting the dog or has, in the

Edmonds City Code
ment of all legal charges and expenses inciden-
tal to impound and keeping of said animal.
D. Adoption of Impounded Animals. If an
impounded animal is licensed and known to
belong to someone who has been unable to
claim the animal within 72 hours the animal
control authority may, at its discretion, extend
the impound period for up to 10 days prior to
release of the animal for adoption.
E. Disposition. Any animal not redeemed
or adopted may be destroyed or otherwise dis-
posed of by the animal control authority. The
mayor is authorized to enter into contracts for
disposal with appropriate agencies, not includ-
ing vivisectionists.
F. Disposal of Certain Animals. It is lawful
for any police officer or animal control officer
to kill any dangerous or vicious dog or other
animal found at large which cannot, in their
judgment, be safely taken up and impounded.
G. Impounding Sick or Injured Animals.
When in the judgment of a licensed veterinar-
ian or the animal control authority, an animal
should be destroyed for humane reasons, such
animal may not be redeemed. The animal con-
trol authority or its agents shall not be held lia-
ble for the destruction of said animal.
H. Hindrance to Impounding. No person
shall willfully:
1. Prevent or hinder the impounding of

5.05.127.1
5.05.127.1 Spay or neuter of owner -
surrendered and stray animals
required.
A. Stray dogs and cats at least two months
of age 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 con-
trol service area that are surrendered at the
city's designated shelter, shall be spayed or
neutered, and verification of said surgery shall
be provided before animals are adopted. Pro-
vided, however, that any animal which has not
been spayed or neutered, and which is cur-
rently licensed pursuant to ECC 5.05.020 or
5.05.025 shall not be subject to be spayed or
neutered until the notification period of 10
days established by ECC 5.05.126(D) has
expired.
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 a $50.00
deposit shall be collected 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 sur-
gery is performed by a city designated veteri-
narian, 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 inap-
propriate surgical candidate the surgery will
not be required. In such cases the deposit shall
be returned to the adopter upon written verifi-
cation by a veterinarian of the animal's inap-
propriate surgical candidacy. Failure to have
the animal spayed or neutered within the spec -
5 -17 (Revised 1/12)
5.05.127.2
ified time period will result in the forfeiture of
the deposit and the deposit shall be placed in
the city of Edmonds' animal benefit fund.
C. Dogs or cats which have been spayed or
neutered at city expense shall be subject to a
fee of $50.00 as provided in this chapter. This
fee, unlike the deposit provided for in subsec-
tion (B) of this section, shall not be refundable.
D. When scheduling prohibits a timely
spay or neuter surgery by the city's designated
veterinarian(s), the new adoptive family mem-
ber will be allowed to take the animal home
after signing an affidavit promising to return
the animal to the designated veterinarian(s) at
a scheduled appointment time made by the ani-
mal control authority. Failure to keep the
scheduled appointment for the animal will
constitute a violation of this chapter with the
adoptive person subject to a penalty under
EMC 5.05.127.4. [Ord. 3681 § 1, 2008; Ord.
3486 § 2, 2004; Ord. 3451 § 1, 2003].
5.05.127.2 Animal benefit appropriation.
A. The city council may from time to time
appropriate during its annual budgeting pro-
cess an amount 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 appropria-
tion 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
(Revised 1/12) 5-18
will be returned to the city's designated animal
shelter, proof of the animal owner's city of
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
to the city of Edmonds requesting reimburse-
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 desig-
nated shelter, and dogs and cats owned by cit-
izens residing within the city's animal control
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
information:
1. Identification of the animal.
2. Identification of the person request-
ing the spay or neuter services for the animal.
3. Identification of the specific type of
spay or neuter services performed.
4. Date of performance of the spay or
neuter services.
E. Within 30 days of receiving an invoice
for spay or neuter services performed by the
city's designated veterinarian(s), the city shall
provide payment to the designated veterinarian
in the amount of $30.00 per financial assis-
tance voucher or 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 desig-
nated shelter, and dogs and cats owned by cit -
Edmonds City Code
izens residing within the city's animal control
service area that are surrendered at the city
designated shelter. Said amount shall be drawn
exclusively from the city's animal benefit
appropriation. [Ord. 3858 § 1, 2011; Ord. 3451
§ 1, 20031.
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 the ordinance codified in
this chapter and/or in the day to day adminis-
tration 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
5.05.127.4
conflict regarding the provisions of ECC
5.05.127.1 or 5.05.127.2, the following rules
of interpretation shall apply:
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 city code, or any
contract approved by the city council, the
administrative provisions of city code or a con-
tract 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. 3451 § 1, 2003].

animal suffers unnecessary or unjustifiable
physical pain as a result of the failure; or
2. Abandons the animal.
C. Animal cruelty is a misdemeanor.
D. In any prosecution for animal cruelty, it
shall be an affirmative defense, if established
by the defendant by a preponderance of the
evidence, that the defendant's failure was due

E. If a law enforcement officer or animal
control officer has probable cause to believe
that an owner of a domestic animal has com-
mitted animal cruelty, the officer may autho-
rize, with a warrant, the seizure and removal of
the animal to a suitable place for feeding and
care. An animal may be seized and removed
without a warrant only if the animal is in an
immediate life-threatening condition.
F. Upon conviction for animal cruelty, the
defendant shall make restitution to the city of
Edmonds for all veterinary and kennel
