Ordinance 1925-93 - Laserfiche WebLink

SECTION 5: REQUIREMENTS FOR THE CITY Affected employers located in Everett are to receive written notification that they are subject to this ordinance, addressed to the company's chief executive officer, senior official, or CTR manager at the worksite. Such notification shall be delivered a minimum of 150 days prior to the due date for submittal of their CTR program. Employers that, for whatever reasons, do not receive notice within 30 days of passage of the ordinance and are either notified or identify themselves to the City within 180 days of the passage of the ordinance will be granted an extension to assure up to 150 days within which to develop and submit a CTR program. The City shall provide the employer with written notification if a CTR program is deemed unacceptable. The notification must give cause for the rejection. The employer then has 30 days to resubmit the program. If the employer receives no written notification of extension of the review period for the CTR program or comment on the CTR program or annual report within 90 days of submission, the employer's program or annual report is deemed accepted. The City may extend the review period up to 90 days. The implementation date for the employer's CTR program will be extended an equivalent number of days. For purposes of this section, compliance shall mean fully implementing all provisions in an accepted CTR program or meeting or exceeding VMT and SOV goals of this ordinance. The following criteria for achieving goals for VMT per employee and proportion of SOV trips shall be applied in determining requirements for employer CTR program modifications: (1) If an employer meets either or both goals, the employer has satisfied the objectives of the CTR plan and will not be required to modify the CTR program; (2) If an employer meets the goal for proportion of SOV trips but not for VMT per employee (or meets the goal for reduction in VMT, but not the SOV reduction goal), Everett may recommend program modifications, but in recognition of the employer's successful efforts in meeting one of the goals, will not penalize the employer if it does not implement recommended modifications; (3) If an employer fails to meet both the VMT per employee goal and the SOV rate goals, the City shall propose modifications, the employer shall submit a revised CTR program description, including the requested modifications or equivalent measures, within 30 days of certified return receipt. The Public Works Department shall review the revisions and notify the employer of acceptance or rejection of the revised program. If a revised program is not acceptable, Everett will send written notice to that effect to the employer within 30 days and, if necessary, require the employer to attend a conference with program review staff for the purpose of reaching consensus on the required program. A final decision on the required program will be issued in writing by the City within 10 working days of the conference. The following constitute violations if the deadlines established in this ordinance are not met: (1) Failure to develop and/or submit on time a complete program, including: (a) Affected employers notified or that have identified themselves to Everett within 180 days of the ordinance being adopted and that do not submit a CTR program within 150 days from the notification or self-identification and (b) Employers not identified or self-identified within 180 days from the adoption of the ordinance; (2) Failure to implement an approved CTR program, unless the program elements that 31
