Adoption of an Ordinance Amending RMC 9.46.010 to Mirror State Law
a. Ordinance No. 3161: An Ordinance of the City of Redmond, Washington, Amending 9.46.010 of the Redmond Municipal Code (RMC), by Adding Language to Adopt by Reference All Listed RCW Statues, as They Exist Now or May be Amended, Superseded, or Recodified in the Future
OVERVIEW STATEMENT:
recommendation
City Council previously adopted by reference all RCW’s listed in 9.46.010, including RCW 9.91.025 Unlawful Bus Conduct. (RCW 9.91.025: Unlawful transit conduct. (wa.gov) <https://apps.leg.wa.gov/RCW/default.aspx?cite=9.91.025>) The intent of this proposal is to amend the language in RMC 9.46.010 so that it continues to mirror the listed RCW’S and eliminate the need to make changes going forward by adopting all current versions and future amendments. Additionally, the change updates RCW 9.91.025 Unlawful Bus Conduct to the current title of Unlawful Transit Conduct. The proposed ordinance updates and modernizes the State statues that Council previously incorporated by reference listed in RMC 9.46.010.
