2.10.005 Definitions.
A. Appointive Officer. For the purposes of
this chapter, "appointive officer" means the
following city officers that are appointed by
the mayor and subject to city council confir-
mation: all director -level positions in the city's
adopted budget, including the police chief.
B. Specifications. For the purposes of this
chapter, "specifications" means the functions,
powers, duties, compensation, and working
conditions of the city's appointive officers.
[Ord. 3959 § 1 (Att. A), 2014].
2.10.010 Review of vacancies,
appointment authority and
confirmation process.
A. Periodically, when the city conducts a
salary survey regarding its nonrepresented
employees, and whenever a vacancy occurs in
one of the positions listed in this chapter, the
city council may review the specifications for
the appointive officer position(s) and revise
them as needed before acting to confirm a per-
manent appointment. Nothing in this subsec-
tion shall be construed to prevent the city
council from reviewing such specifications at
other times. The council's revising of a speci-
fication will not have any effect on a previ-
ously confirmed permanent appointment.
Recruitment to fill a vacant appointive office
may be postponed until after the city council
(Revised 2/14) 2-8
acts to revise the specifications or determines
them not to be in need of revision.
B. The mayor or his/her designee will
review all applications and determine the per-
sons with the highest qualifications. Any city
council member, upon request to the mayor,
may review the applications received for a
vacant position. Additionally and/or alterna-
tively, the city council may evaluate the quali-
fications of an applicant for public
employment in executive session pursuant to
RCW 42.30.110(1)(g).
C. If, on occasion of a vacant appointive
office, the mayor elects to propose a reorgani-
zation of the appointive offices which would
alter the specifications of the vacant appoint-
ive office, he shall have 60 days from the date
of the vacancy to introduce a reorganization
proposal to the city council along with any
necessary accompanying budget amendment.
If reorganization is proposed, recruitment to
fill the vacant appointive office may be post-
poned until after the city council acts upon the
reorganization proposal.
D. The mayor shall appoint, subject to
council confirmation, the appointive officers.
The city council shall interview the top three
candidates for each position prior to the
mayor's appointment; provided, that the city
council may waive the three -interview require-
ment by motion adopted by a majority plus one
of the full council and may opt to interview as
few as two candidates for any vacant appoint-
ive office; and further provided, that when an
appointive office becomes vacant, or is about
to become vacant, again within nine months of
the city council's confirmation of the last may-
oral appointment to that office, the city council
may waive an additional round of interviews,
by motion adopted by a majority plus one of
the full council, and proceed immediately to
confirming the appointment of a candidate
interviewed by the city council during the most
recent recruitment for that appointive office.
The mayor's appointments to all other
Edmonds City Code
employee positions shall not be subject to city
council confirmation.
E. The mayor shall have the authority to
appoint, without city council confirmation, an
acting director to perform the functions and
duties of a vacant appointive office, subject to
the term limitations described in ECC
2.10.040(B); provided, that there is budgetary
authority to fill the position. The city council
shall be given written notice about any such
acting appointments including the effective
date of the appointment. Acting directors shall
be compensated pursuant to applicable ordi-
nances and personnel policies regarding acting
pay.
F. The mayor shall begin recruitment of
candidates to fill vacant appointive offices no
later than 30 days after the latter of the two city
council actions described in subsections (A)
and (C) of this section; provided, that such
recruitment shall not be necessary where the
city council opts to make an immediate confir-
mation pursuant to a prior round of interviews
as set forth in subsection (D) of this section.
[Ord. 3959 § 1 (Att. A), 2014; Ord. 3279 § 1,
1999].
2.10.020 Assignment of duties.
The city council shall define the functions,
powers and duties of the city's appointive offi-
cers and employees. The mayor shall direct,
supervise, and be in charge of all appointive
officers and employees in the performance of
their functions, powers, and duties, except for
employees hired pursuant to Chapter 2.03
ECC. Appointive officers shall be responsible
for carrying out all directives as assigned by
the mayor, including, but not limited to, plan-
ning and directing the activities and staff in
their respective assigned departments, super-
vising and evaluating the work processes and
assigned staff, controlling the financial integ-
rity of the departmental budget, and insuring
the delivery of quality public services. All
2.10.050
department directors shall serve at the pleasure
of the mayor. [Ord. 3959 § 1 (Att. A), 2014;
Ord. 3279 § 1, 1999].

serve without a definite term.
B. The authority to hold an appointive
office on an acting basis (an acting director-
ship) shall expire and be deemed vacant six
months after the date of the acting appoint-

facilities charges.
A general facilities charge (GFC) (formerly
known as a "connection charge") shall be paid
by each new customer connecting to the city's
water or sewer system in accordance with the
following requirements:
A. Sewer System GFC. The sanitary sewer
GFC shall be paid by the applicant at the time
and according to the date of side sewer permit
issuance in an amount per equivalent residen-
tial unit (ERU) added as a result of the devel-
opment as set forth in the table below;
provided, that nonresidential building permit
and business license applicants shall pay sewer
system GFC when the proposed structure
and/or business activity would generate addi-
tional probable sewer usage.
2012 before 2012 effective 2014 and
effective date date forward 2013 beyond
Sewer GFC per ERU $730.00 $2,573.50 $3,495.25 $4,417.00
1. A single-family residential applicant
shall pay a GFC equal to one ERU per dwell-
ing unit.
2. A multifamily residential applicant
shall pay a GFC equal to 0.67 ERU per dwell-
ing unit.
3. Applicants for nonresidential devel-
opment shall pay a GFC equal to the ERU
determination that is made by the public works
director. This determination shall be made by
estimating the probable sewer usage of the
proposed development. In estimating the prob-
able sewer usage, the public works director
may consider, among other factors, the aver-
(Revised 2/14) 7-12
age winter water consumption for similar
existing development in the city. If the appli-
cant disagrees with the director's ERU deter-
mination, the applicant may submit additional
information and analysis from a qualified
engineer, with an additional $200.00 review
fee, in support of a request for an alternate
ERU determination. The director shall review
the request for an alternate ERU determination
and may accept the alternate calculation,
revise the earlier ERU determination based on
the new information, or uphold the earlier
ERU determination. Once the director has
made a final ERU determination, the applicant
Edmonds City Code
within the time limits in accordance with
ECDC 18.10.010 shall, upon connection to the
sewer system, pay the above established spe-
cial connection fee, increased based upon the
Department of Labor Bureau of Labor Statis-
tics Consumer Price Index for construction for
the Seattle -Bellevue -Everett area from the
effective date of the ordinance codified in this
section to the time of connection to the sewer
system.

Drive Phase 1 — 178th Place SW to 168th St.
SW (public sewer manhole), of $4,932.85 per
lot.
Due to the significant additional sewer
system construction that will be required at the
property owners' expense to connect to the
above referenced public sewer manhole and
stub pipe, the properties in Exhibit B, regard-
less of whether they are developed or not, may,
notwithstanding the requirements of ECDC
18.10.010 and ECC 7.30.040, defer connec-
tion to the same.
The owner of a property that defers con-
nection shall pay, upon initial connection to
the public sewer manhole and stub pipe, the
above established special connection fee,
increased by a cumulative multiple, to the
extent permitted under RCW 35.92.025, equal
to the Department of Labor Bureau of Labor
Statistics Consumer Price Index for construc-
tion for the Seattle -Bellevue -Everett area from
the expiration of the time limits to connect set
forth in ECDC 18.10.010 to the time of con-
nection; provided, that if the property with
deferred connection was undeveloped when
the public sewer manhole and stub pipe were
declared operational by the city, its owner shall
pay, upon initial connection to the same, the
above established special connection fee,
increased to the extent permitted under RCW
35.92.025 by the aforementioned index from
the expiration of the time limits to connect set
forth in ECDC 18.10.010, which would then
have applied had the property not been unde-
veloped, to the time of connection. [Ord. 3777
§ 1, 2010; Ord. 3657 § 1, 2007].

7.30.045 Special connection charge.
In addition to any other charges prescribed
by this chapter, a special connection charge
shall be paid by the owner of any property, res-
idential dwelling unit, or other structure that
may hereafter connect to the sanitary sewer
improvements constructed by any local
improvement district formed by the city and
for which no assessment was imposed or
charged under the said LID. The special con-
nection charge for each property, residential
dwelling unit, or other structure so connected
shall be equal to the amount of the assessment
7.30.050
that would have been levied against such prop-
erty, residential dwelling unit, or structure
under the final assessment roll of the appropri-
ate LID if the said property, residential dwell-
ing unit, or other structure had been so
assessed, together with interest thereon at the
rate established by the ordinance authorizing
issuance of the bonds for said LID, from the
time of such authorization until the time of
connection. The special connection charge
shall be paid in a lump sum prior to connection
to the sanitary sewer. The special connection
charge provided for in this section shall apply
only where the debt used to finance the local
improvements has not yet been fully retired

7.50.050 Stormwater rates and charges.
A. The following rates shall be charged on all billings with respect to the following customers
and/or service:
CATEGORY
Single-family residential and multifamily residential
Bimonthly billing cycle
Monthly billing cycle
All other resident customers per ESU (monthly
cycle)
B. An ESU is hereby defined to be the
impervious surface area estimated to contrib-
ute an amount of runoff which is approxi-
mately equal to that created by an average
single-family residential parcel. A single-fam-
ily residential parcel is one ESU. For all other
parcels, one ESU is equivalent to 3,000 square
feet of impervious surface area. [Ord. 3945 § 3,
2013; Ord. 3903 § 2, 2012; Ord. 3801 § 1,
2010; Ord. 3744 § 1, 2009; Ord. 3570 § 1,
2005; Ord. 3538 § 1, 2005; Ord. 3400 § 3,
2002; Ord. 3195 § 2, 1998].
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.
EFFECTIVE DATE
1/1/2014 1/1/2015 1/1/2016
$23.64 $24.70 $25.81
$11.82 $12.35 $12.91
$11.82 $12.35 $12.91
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
and shall not be appealable. The city council
7-17 (Revised 2/14)
7.50.070
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
general facilities charge.
A. In addition to any other charge pre-
scribed by this chapter, a stormwater manage-
ment system general facilities charge (GFC)
(formerly known as a development charge)
shall be paid by the applicant at the time and
according to the date of building permit issu-
ance in an amount per equivalent service unit
(ESU) added to or created by the development
as set forth in the table below; provided, that
stormwater permit applicants shall pay GFC at
the time and according to the date of stormwa-
ter permit issuance.
2012 before 2012 effective 2014 and
effective date date forward 2013 beyond
Storm GFC per ESU $428.00 $613.50 $706.25 $799.00
B. For the purposes of this section only, an
ESU is hereby defined to be the impervious
surface area estimated to contribute an amount
of runoff which is approximately equal to that
created by an average single-family residential
development. A single-family residential
development shall pay GFC equal to one ESU;
provided, that a single-family residential
development that includes 5,000 square feet of
new, replaced, or new plus replaced impervi-
ous surface area shall pay GFC pursuant to
subsection (C) of this section.
C. All development not meeting the criteria
in subsesction (B) of this section shall pay
GFC calculated according to a ratio of one
ESU per 3,000 square feet of new, replaced, or
new plus replaced impervious surface area.
