Subject: Scrivener's Error - Ordinance 2702
In working on Jerry's draft ordinance that would amend Ord. No. 2702, I noticed Section 2 of Ordinance No. 2702
references that TMC Section 16.04.020, "Codes Adopted," is being amended, but instead immediately cites TMC Section
16.16.020, "Enforcement."
Section 2. TMC Section 16.04.020 Amended. Ordinance Nos. 2171 §1 (part) and
2648 §2, as codified at Tukwila Municipal Code ("TMC) Sction 16.04.020, "Codes
Adopted" are hereby amended to read as follows:
616.020 Codes Adopted
A. Effective July 1, 2023, the specified editions of the following model codes are
adopted by reference as if fully set forth and as numerated in Chapter 19.27 RCW:

The same citation error happens in Section 3 of Ordinance No. 2702:
■
Section 3. TMC Section 16..04.430 Amended. Ordinance Nos. 2171 §1 (part) and
2648 §3, as codified al. Tukwila Municipal Code (TMC) Section SQ "Filing Copies
of State Building Codes" are hereby amended to read as follows;
16.16.434 Filing Copies of State Buildings Codes
The Department of Community Development Permit Cent rshall f aintain a copy of
software of the codes referred to in TMC Section 16.04,020 and the codes shall be of°gin,
to public inspection.
The pink ordinance histories in TMC Chapter 16.04, "Buildings and Construction," matches the ordinances being
amended in sections 2 and 3 above:
Re: section 2, which matches the pink ord. history from 16.04.020:

Re: section 3, which matches the pink ord. history from 16.04.030:
I am confident the yellow highlighted text in the screenshots above are Scrivener's Errors and should actually read
16.04.020 and 16.04.030 respectively.
Following is a link to Ord 2702: 27 2021 a ton Statmg "saes
While I realize Ord. 2702 will be amended in the TMC regardless due to the draft ordinance we are currently working on,
I wanted to close the loop. Please advise if the above can be corrected as Scrivener's Errors.
Thank you!
