For-Hire Transportation Redmond Municipal Code Amendment and Interlocal Agreement Update.
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
The City of Redmond has an interlocal agreement with King County wherein the county handles licensing and enforcement of the for-hire transportation industry. The King County Code addressing for-hire transportation was amended in October 2024, and Chapter 6.64 was split into two chapters; 6.64 and 6.65. Redmond Municipal Code 5.16.010 adopts the King County Code by reference and must be amended to reflect the new code numbers.

REQUEST RATIONALE:
* Relevant Plans/Policies:
N/A
* Required:
The State of Washington preempts the field of regulating transportation network companies and drivers under RCW46.72B.180. The only exception is for cities with a population over 600,000 and counties with population over 2,000,000. King County falls under that exemption, so the City grants the county regulation and enforcement authority.
* Council Request:
N/A
* Other Key Facts:
Enter any additional information to explain why this item is coming forward.
OUTCOMES:
The renewed ILA agreement will allow King County to continue providing for-hire transportation regulation and enforcement, which it has for many years. The adoption of the ordinance will bring the RMC into alignment with the changes in the County Code.
