PRO CLAMATION
WHEREAS the City of Tukwila recognizes adequate nutrition as a basic goal
for each citizen; and
WHEREAS, no parent should have to send a child to school hungry, no baby
should be without the comfort of the feedings needed for mental and physical
growth, no elderly person's health should be jeopardized by lack of appropriate
foods; and
WHEREAS, food banks, emergency and hot meal programs working with
the City of Tukwila, local churches, social service agencies, and hundreds of
volunteers are striving day in and day out to stem the rising tide of hunger, but
still need more help; and
WHEREAS, we believe that when the citizens who are not involved hear of
the especially desperate needs of the hungry as winter approaches and their low
incomes must stretch to cover increasing fuel, electricity and rental costs leaving
even less money for monthly food purchase an outpouring of community
assistance will follow; and
WHEREAS, the Emergency Feeding Program coordinates an annual food
drive to help support the efforts of their program and the area's food banks in
fighting hunger, which will be held at grocery stores throughout King County;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, Jim Haggerton, Mayor of the City of Tukwila, do
hereby proclaim Saturday, September 26, 2009:
Mayor's Day of Concern for the Hungry
in the City of Tukwila, and encourage all citizens to join the Emergency Feeding
Program and our food b s to nourish those who are hungry.

Si )NS( )R'S As with all of the codes adopted by the state, the electrical code is revised, amended and
SUMMARY re- published on a three year cycle. Consequently, it is important to update the City's
adopted code to remain current with the State and with any amendments that the State
adopts. This is necessary to ensure that our City regulations remain equal to or better
than that which the State enforces. This is a prerequisite for a City to regulate electrical
installations within its jurisdiction.

of this code in order to provide clarification to its requirements, as permitted by Article
90.4, and to adopt policies and procedures in order to clarify the application of its
provisions and the administration of this code. Where procedures are not specifically
identified herein, Part 2 of the Washington Cities Electrical Code shall be referenced.
3. This code applies to new electrical installations. If an electrical permit
application is received after the effective date of this code but is associated with a
building permit application received prior to the effective date of the ordinance codified
in this chapter, all applicable codes adopted and in force at the time of a complete
building permit application will apply.
4. Lawfully installed existing electrical installations that do not comply with
the provisions of this chapter shall be permitted to be continued without change, except
as is specifically covered in this code or as is deemed necessary by the Building Official
for the general safety and welfare of the occupants and the public. Where changes are
required for correction of hazards, a reasonable amount of time shall be given for
compliance, depending on the degree of the hazard.
5. Additions, alterations or repairs to any building, structure or premises
shall conform to that required of a new building, without requiring the existing
building to comply with all the requirements of this code or amendments adopted by
reference herein. Additions, alterations, installations or repairs shall not cause an
existing building to become unsafe or to adversely affect the performance of the
building as determined by the authority having jurisdiction. Electrical wiring added to
an existing service, feeder or branch circuit shall not result in an installation that
violates the provisions of the Code in force at the time the additions are made.
6. When the use of any electrical equipment or its installations is found to be
dangerous to human life or property, the Building Official shall be empowered to have
the premises disconnected from its source of electric supply. When such equipment or
installation has been so condemned or disconnected, a notice shall be placed thereon
listing the causes for the condemnation, the disconnection, or both, and the penalty for
unlawful use thereof. Written notice of such condemnation and the causes therefore
shall be given within 24 hours to the owners, the occupant or both, of such building,
structure or premises. It shall be unlawful for any person to remove said notice, to
reconnect the electric equipment to its source of electric supply, or to use or permit to be
used electric power in any such electric equipment until such causes for the
condemnation or disconnection have been remedied to the satisfaction of the Building
Official.
7. The authority having jurisdiction shall be permitted to delegate to other
qualified individuals such powers as necessary for the proper administration and
enforcement of this code.
8. The authority having jurisdiction shall be authorized to inspect, at all
reasonable times, any building or premises for dangerous or hazardous conditions or
equipment as set forth in this code. The Building Official shall be permitted to order
any person(s) to remove or remedy such dangerous or hazardous condition or
equipment. Any person(s) failing to comply with such order shall be in violation of this
code.
9. Where the authority having jurisdiction deems that conditions hazardous
to life and property exist, he or she shall be permitted to require that such hazardous
conditions in violation of this code be corrected.
10. To the full extent permitted by law, the authority having jurisdiction
engaged in inspection work shall be authorized at all reasonable times to enter and
examine any building, structure or premises for the purpose of making electrical
inspections. Before entering premises, the authority having jurisdiction shall obtain the
consent of the occupant thereof or obtain a court warrant authorizing entry for the
purpose of inspection, except in those instances where an emergency exists. As used in
this section, emergency means circumstances that the authority having jurisdiction
W:\ Word Processing Ordinances \Electrical Code.doc
BB:ksn 09/15/2009
Page 5 of 7
knows or has reason to believe exist, and that reasonably can constitute immediate
danger to persons or property.
11. The Building Official shall be permitted to require plans and specifications
to ensure compliance with this code.
12. The authority having jurisdiction shall be permitted to waive specific
requirements in this code, or permit alternative methods where it is assured that
equivalent objectives can be achieved by establishing and maintaining effective safety.
Technical documentation shall be submitted to the authority having jurisdiction, to
demonstrate equivalency and that the system, method or device is approved for the
intended purpose.
13. Each application for a waiver of a specific electrical requirement shall be
filed in writing and shall be accompanied by such evidence, letters or statements to
justify the request. Approval or denial of said request shall be in writing.
14. Application for a permit required by this code shall be made to the
Building Official in such form and detail as prescribed by the Building Official. The
Building Official shall have the authority as necessary in the interest of public health,
safety and general welfare, to adopt and promulgate rules and regulations related to
inspections, inspection approval and refund of fees.
15. Limitation of application. An application for a permit for any proposed
work or operation shall be deemed to have been abandoned 180 days after the date of
filing, unless such application has been pursued in good faith or a permit has been
issued. The Building Official is authorized to grant one extension of time for an
additional period not exceeding 90 days. The extension shall be requested in writing
and justifiable cause shall be demonstrated.
16. Limitation of permit. Every permit issued shall become invalid unless the
work on the site authorized by such permit is commenced within 180 days after its
issuance, or if the work authorized on the site by such permit is suspended or
abandoned for a period of 180 days after the time the work is commenced. The
Building Official is authorized to grant, in writing, one extension for a period of not
more than 180 days. The extension shall be requested in writing and justifiable cause
shall be demonstrated.
17. Suspension or revocation. The Building Official is authorized to suspend
or revoke a permit issued under the provisions of this code wherever the permit is
issued in error, on the basis of incorrect, inaccurate, false representations or incomplete
information; in violation of any ordinance, regulation, or any of the provisions of this
code. A permit shall be issued to one person or business only and for the location or
purpose described in the permit. Any change that affects any of the conditions of the
permit shall require a new or amended permit.
18. Payment of fees. A permit shall not be valid until the fees prescribed by
ordinance have been paid, nor shall an amendment to a permit be released until the
additional fee, if any, has been paid.
19. Schedule of permit fees. A fee for each permit shall be paid as required, in
accordance with TMC 16.04.250(G).
20. Appeals. Section 112, "Board of Appeals," is amended as follows: Any
person, firm or corporation may register an appeal of a decision or determination of the
Building Official, provided that such appeal is made in writing within 14 calendar days
after such person, firm or corporation shall have been notified of the Building Official's
decision. Any person, firm or corporation shall be permitted to appeal a decision of the
Building Official to the Tukwila Hearing Examiner when it is claimed that any one or
more of the following conditions exists:
a) The true intent of the code or ordinance has been incorrectly
interpreted.
b) The provisions of the codes or ordinances do not fully apply.
W:\ Word Processing Ordinances Electrical Code.doc
BB:ksn 09/15/2009
Page 6 of 7
c) The decision is unreasonable or arbitrary as it applies to alternatives or
new materials.
Appeal procedures shall be in accordance with TMC Chapter 18.116.030.
21. Violations. Whenever the authority having jurisdiction determines that
there are violations of this code, a written notice shall be issued to confirm such
findings. Any Notice Order issued pursuant to this code shall be served upon the
owner, operator, occupant or other person responsible for the condition or violation,
either by personal service or mail, or by delivering the same to and leaving it with some
person of responsibility upon the premises. For unattended or abandoned locations, a
copy of such Notice Order shall be posted on the premises in a conspicuous place, at
or near the entrance to such premises, and the Notice Order shall be mailed by
registered or certified mail, with return receipt requested, to the last known address of
the owner, occupant or both.
22. Penalties. Any person, firm or corporation who shall willfully violate or
fails to comply with a Notice Order is liable for the monetary penalties prescribed in
TMC 8.45.100(A2).
Section 3. Severability. If any section, subsection, paragraph, sentence, clause or
phrase of this ordinance or its application to any person or situation should be held to
be invalid or unconstitutional for any reason by a court of competent jurisdiction, such
invalidity or unconstitutionality shall not affect the validity or constitutionality of the
remaining portions of this ordinance or its application to any other person or situation.
