PUBLIC SAFETY COMMITTEE
January 10, 2000, Meeting
Date: February 1, 2000
From: Londi K. Lindell, City Attor
Subject: Amending Federal Way Criminal Code
The following amendment to the Federal Way Criminal Code ("FWCC") is a housekeeping
amendment to make the City Code consistent with recent state law changes.
Possession of an Open Container of Alcohol or Consuming Alcohol in a Public Place
Background: FWCC Section 6-38 currently criminalizes the possession of an open container of
alcohol in a public place. During the 1999 legislative session, the Washington State Legislature
amended the state law of possession of an open container to a class 3 civil infraction. In keeping the
Federal Way Criminal Code consistent with Washington State Law, staff recommends that FWCC
6-36 be amended to adopt RCW 66.44.100 (attached) by reference, and that FWCC 6-38 be repealed.
Committee Recommendation: Motion to approve the amendment to FWCC 6-36 and the repeal
of FWCC 6-38 to Chapter 6, Article II of the Federal Way Criminal Code and forward to full
Council.
