ORDINANCE No. <br /> AN ORDINANCE Updating References to State Vehicle Registration Laws and <br /> Regulations to Disabled and Overtime Parking, and Amending Ordinances in <br /> Section 13. <br /> Whereas, the Everett Municipal Code (the "EMC") makes several references <br /> to state laws that were codified in chapter 46.16 of the Revised Code of Washington <br /> (the "RCW") (vehicle registration); and <br /> Whereas, chapter 46.16 RCW was repealed and largely recodified under <br /> chapter 46.16A RCW and other chapters of the RCW; and <br /> Whereas, the disabled parking regulations were recodified from chapter <br /> 46.16 RCW to chapter 46.19 RCW and updated to give local jurisdictions more tools <br /> for the enforcement of the regulations; and <br /> Whereas, parking enforcement has found that people parking in violation of <br /> downtown parking regulations (either reparking or time restrictions) will use the <br /> distinction between a reparking violation and an overtime parking violation to have a <br /> parking ticket thrown out (e.g. individuals have been successful in having overtime <br /> tickets thrown out by testifying that they moved their vehicle within the posted time <br /> limits, even though the movement may still be a violation of reparking regulations); <br /> and <br /> Whereas, updating EMC 46.28.200 related to overtime parking to provide <br /> that violating reparking restrictions in the central business district is a type of <br /> overtime parking eliminates any distinctions between overtime parking and <br /> repacking violations, allowing parking enforcement a more efficient tool to enforce <br /> against parking violators; and <br /> Whereas, these proposed amendments promote the health, safety, and <br /> welfare of the general public; and <br /> Whereas, therefore, City Council finds it is appropriate to update the EMC to <br /> accurately reference state laws formerly codified under chapter 46.16 RCW, to track <br /> the slate's disabled parking regulations, and update the overtime parking <br /> regulations; <br /> NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY OF EVERETT DOES ORDAIN: <br /> Section 1. Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2442-00, as amended by Section 20 of <br /> Ordinance No. 3360-13 (EMC 9.06.135), which reads as follows: <br /> Noise. <br /> P2ge 1. of 25 <br /> 10 <br />
