MEMORANDUM
TO: City Council /Manager
FROM: Craig L. Miller, City Attorney
RE: Proposed Ordinance Adopting
Title 46, RCW
The attached ordinance clarifies an ambiguity which has arisen
in regard to the existing City ordinance adopting Title 46, RCW
(Motor Vehicles). That ordinance does not include language
adopting all amendments to that statute. As this point has been
raised, albeit unsuccessfully, in several cases, its seems prudent
to correct this error by adopting an ordinance which clearly
adopts all amendments to Title 46, RCW, as a portion of the City's
motor vehicle code.
