Adoption ofthe 2005 National Electrical Code.
ISSUE
An amendment to Title 16 of the Tukwila Municipal Code to transfer responsibility for
enforcement of the State Electrical Code to the Department of Community Development /
Building Division.
BACKGROUND
The installation of wires and equipment that convey electric current and the installations of
equipment to be operated by electric current, in, on, or about buildings or structures is permitted,
reviewed and inspected by the Washington State Department of Labor and Industries. The
Department of Labor and Industries maintains this authority throughout the state of Washington
except in those jurisdictions that have exercised their authority to enact an ordinance to assume
this responsibility.
DISCUSSION/ANAL YSIS/ AL TERNA TIVES
The Permit Center currently issues all required development permits except for electrical work
permits. The ability to issue electrical work permits would be the last component necessary to
make the Permit Center truly a "one stop" resource for Tukwila citizens. In addition, an
electrical code enforcement program administered by Tukwila would bring local control of the
revenue, plan review, inspection approval and appeals process.
RCW 19.28.010 allows cities to assume the responsibility for enforcement of the National
Electric Code, provided that the adopting ordinance requires an equal, higher, or better standard
of construction and an equal, higher, or better standard of materials, devices, appliances, and
equipment than that required by the State. The proposed ordinance for the city of Tubvila
would provide for a standard equal to that enforced by the Department of Labor and Industries.

Electrical inspectors hired by the City would have to meet the same qualifications set forth for
State electrical inspectors. Consequently, this will create a timing and coordination challenge for
implementing an electrical code enforcement program. In order to meet this challenge I have
had discussions with the City of SeaTac regarding an interlocal agreement whereby our permit
Center would issue electrical work permits and the City of SeaTac would provide plan review
and inspection services. A draft interlocal agreement has been reviewed by the legal staff of the
respective cities and a copy included as an attachment herewith.
RECOMMENDATION
I would ask that the Committee review the ordinance and the interlocal agreement and forward it
to the Committee of the Whole Meeting on March 12,2007 for consideration.
Attachments: Draft ordinance.
Electrical permit fee schedule.
Draft interlocal agreement.
