8. ORDINANCES
First Reading:
a. CB #579 Truck Route Code Amendment
An Ordinance of the City of Federal Way, Washington relating to deliveries by fruck; amending
FWRC 8.40.040
City Attorney Richardson stated there is a need to clarify the intent of FWRC
8.40.040. The current FWRC states trucks (rated in excess of 30,000 Ibs) are
exempt from truck routes if they make less than ten deliveries per day. Deliveries
are defined as "having an origin or destination in the City, or passing through the
City befinreen an origin and destination." The proposed amendment would remove
the ten- trip threshold, removes exception for deliveries that pass through the City
between their origin and destination and requires trucks to use designated truck
routes unless the delivery has a destination or origin in the City or the truck is
operated by an entity that has their corporate headquarters in the City.
MOTION: Councilmember Kochmar moved to forward the ordinance to the
September 6, 2011 City Council meeting for second reading and enactment.
