Summary/Background:
Ordinance No. 2833 would extend the moratorium for BESS facilities for an additional year within the City of Enumclaw.
BESS facilities, particularly those utilizing lithium-ion battery technology, pose significant fire and explosion risks, as
evidenced by incidents in California, Arizona, and other states. Toxic emissions from thermal runaway events in BESS
facilities threaten public health and air quality, necessitating further study on emergency response, zoning, and land use
compatibility. Additionally, BESS facilities contain hazardous materials that present disposal and decommissioning
challenges, requiring long-term environmental protections and regulatory oversight.
The City of Enumclaw’s current zoning and development regulations do not adequately address the unique risks and land use
compatibility issues associated with BESS facilities. The Washington State Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A.390) and
the Planning Enabling Act (RCW 35A.63.220) authorize the City to adopt a moratorium to preserve the status quo while
appropriate regulations are developed. The City requires additional time to conduct a comprehensive analysis of fire codes,
environmental impacts, emergency response protocols, and zoning restrictions before permitting any BESS facilities within its
jurisdiction
On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2806 on first reading, establishing a moratorium. A public hearing has
been scheduled for April 14, 2025, to determine whether the moratorium should be extended. Based on the identified risks and the
need for further study, it is recommended that the City Council adopt an ordinance extending the moratorium on the acceptance,
processing, and approval of applications for BESS facilities. This moratorium will provide the necessary time to develop appropriate
regulations to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

FROM:

Chris Pasinetti, Community Development Director

DATE:

February 9, 2026

SUBJECT:

Public Hearing for Ordinance No. 2833, Moratorium for Battery Energy
Storage System (BESS) facilities.

Background:
The City of Enumclaw has adopted a Comprehensive Plan to guide and inform future growth,
development, and infrastructure planning pursuant to the Growth Management Act (GMA), RCW
Chapter 36.70A. This plan covers the incorporated city limits and adjacent unincorporated lands
within the Urban Growth Area. Recently, the City Council has identified substantial public health,
safety, environmental, zoning, and emergency response concerns regarding the development of
Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) facilities.
Analysis:
BESS facilities, particularly those utilizing lithium-ion battery technology, pose significant fire
and explosion risks, as evidenced by incidents in California, Arizona, and other states. Toxic
emissions from thermal runaway events in BESS facilities threaten public health and air quality,
necessitating further study on emergency response, zoning, and land use compatibility.
Additionally, BESS facilities contain hazardous materials that present disposal and
decommissioning challenges, requiring long-term environmental protections and regulatory
oversight.
The City of Enumclaw’s current zoning and development regulations do not adequately address
the unique risks and land use compatibility issues associated with BESS facilities. The Washington
State Growth Management Act (RCW 36.70A.390) and the Planning Enabling Act (RCW
35A.63.220) authorize the City to adopt a moratorium to preserve the status quo while appropriate
regulations are developed. The City requires additional time to conduct a comprehensive analysis
of fire codes, environmental impacts, emergency response protocols, and zoning restrictions before
permitting any BESS facilities within its jurisdiction.
On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2806 on first reading, establishing a
moratorium. A public hearing has been scheduled for April 14, 2025, to determine whether the
moratorium should be extended, which was extended.
The Planning Commission reviewed a draft of the BESS regulations in December. At that meeting
the commission decided it was best to convene a subcommittee to develop an Ordinance regulating

10
Battery Energy Storage Systems within the City. The Subcommittee met for the first time on
February 4th, 2026 (has not yet met as of the drafting of this staff report).
Recommendation:
Based on the identified risks and the need for further study, it is recommended that the City Council
adopt Ordinance 2833 to extend the moratorium on the acceptance, processing, and approval of
applications for BESS facilities. This will provide additional time to develop appropriate
regulations to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Whereas the City requires additional time to conduct a comprehensive analysis

Whereas, On February 24, 2025, the City Council adopted Ordinance 2806 on
first reading, establishing a moratorium and set public hearing for April 14, 2025, to
determine whether the moratorium should be extended; and
Whereas, the 2025 Enumclaw Planning Commission work plan included
municipal code amendments for Battery Energy Storage Systems; and
Whereas, the Enumclaw Planning Commission’s first review of the DRAFT
regulations for Battery Energy Storage Systems occurred on November 20th, 2025. The
Planning Commission has not made a recommendation to the City Council; and
Whereas, absent a recommendation from the Planning Commission to the City
Council, on December 18th, 2025, the Planning Commission made a motion to establish
a subcommittee to review regulations for Battery Energy Storage Systems; and
Whereas, Battery Energy Storage System review has been included as part of
the DRAFT Planning Commission and Planning Department work plan for 2026; and
Whereas, after completion of the Public Hearing on April 14, 2025, the City
Council carefully considered this moratorium and finds it to be in the best interest of the
public to temporarily prohibit the acceptance, processing, and approval of applications
for BESS facilities to protect public health, safety, and welfare.

Bid Award Tacoma Intertie Restoration Project

Background:
The 2026 budget includes $343,633 for the Tacoma Intertie Restoration Project to construct a new
electrical and control systems building for the Tacoma Intertie booster pump station. The building
will sit on the north end of the vault that houses the pumps. The electrical equipment that was
originally in the vault was damaged when the vault was found to be flooded in October 2023.
Funding is primarily from a claim settlement received in 2024.
Analysis:
A contract for the project was advertised for bids and 5 bids received on January 27 with the top 3
listed below:
Bidder
Lake Tapps Const
Clearwater Excavation
Pease Piping
Engineer’s estimate

Total Bid w Tax
$168,405.00
$261,600.00
$285,769.66
$240,890.00

The bid from Lake Tapps Construction is deemed responsive and the contractor experienced and
well qualified to perform this type of work. The contract allows for a total of 100 working days
to complete the work.
The control and electrical equipment for the station are being provided by the firm S&B under
separate contract approved by council on November 25, 2024. Construction management and
inspection will be conducted by staff with testing provided by a qualified testing firm. About
$43,000 remains in the S&B contract and assuming a 15% contingency on the Lake Tapps contract
and costs for testing and inspection, it is estimated that a total of $250,000 may be needed to
complete the project. This is well within the original 2026 budget of $343,633.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends award of the Tacoma Intertie Restoration Project to Lake Tapps Construction
in the amount of $168,405.00 with a 15% contingency.

SUBJECT:

Outfall Analysis and Sediment Monitoring

Background:
The City’s wastewater treatment plant (WWTP) faces challenging effluent pH and temperature
limits for its effluent discharge to the White River in its new NPDES permit that went into effect
on July 1, 2025. The permit also requires sampling and analysis of river sediments at the outfall
into the river. While only a sediment analysis plan must be completed in 2026, it is proposed to
complete all sediment analysis and reporting work in 2026 and evaluate options for lowering the
discharge temperature and better mixing of the effluent with river flows. Additional funding must
be allocated to the 2026 budget to fund this work.
Analysis:
A contract with the consultant firm Herrera has been developed for the sediment analysis work in
an amount not to exceed $89,054, including $17,674 for bioassay testing if chemical criteria
exceedances are detected that trigger the need for the bioassay work. The contract includes
developing a sediment analysis plan, sediment sampling, and a monitoring report to summarize
the results. The plan and monitoring results must be submitted for DOE review.
Separate contracts will be negotiated with the City’s on-call consultant, Esvelt Environmental
Engineering (EEE), to evaluate alternatives to modify mixing zone dilution factors and reduce
effluent temperatures. In all an estimated $130,000 in additional funding is needed for the Herrera
and EEE contract work. These funds will be formally allocated from available sewer utility
reserves in a subsequent budget amendment.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Council authorize the Mayor to execute the contract with Herrera for the outfall
sediment monitoring in an amount not to exceed $89,054.

SCOPE OF WORK
CITY OF ENUMCLAW WASTEWATER
TREATMENT PLANT OUTFALL SEDIMENT
MONITORING
The Washington Department of Ecology (Ecology) issued a National Pollutant Discharge Elimination
System (NPDES) Waste Discharge Permit (No. WA0020575) to the City of Enumclaw (the City)
Wastewater Treatment Plant that became effective on July 1, 2025 and expires in 5 years. On January
12, 2026, Scott Woodbury requested that Herrera Environmental Consultants (Herrera) submit a quote
to support compliance with the following permit condition: S9 - Sediment Monitoring.
Treated and disinfected effluent from the Enumclaw WWTP flows into the north side of the White River
via Outfall 001 located just west of the SR410 bridge over the river. The main 30-inch outfall effluent line
splits into two, 15-inch, 70-foot-long outlet pipes that discharge into the river. The twin 15-inch concrete
reinforced pipes end in a concrete headwall structure where flows discharge to the river.
This scope of work covers the following five tasks outlined below:

● Task 1.0 – Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan
● Task 2.0 – Sediment Sampling
● Task 3.0 – Sediment Monitoring Report
● Task 4.0 – Project Management
● Task 5.0 – Contingency Bioassay Testing
This scope of work includes a discussion of the activities, assumptions, and deliverables associated with
each project task. A table summarizing task schedule and budget is included and followed by a detailed
cost estimate.

Task 1.0 – Sediment Sampling and Analysis Plan
Herrera will prepare a sediment sampling and analysis plan (SAP) that includes a site-specific health and
safety plan (HASP). The SAP will meet NPDES permit requirements and will follow the outline presented
in Chapter 4 (Field Methods), Chapter 5 (Laboratory Analysis Methods), and Appendix A (NPDES Permit
Guidance) in the Sediment Cleanup User’s Manual (SCUM) (Publication 12-09-057, December 2025 fourth
revision; Ecology 2025).

January 30, 2026
gci enumclawsediment_sow_1.30.2026.docx

Page 1 of 5

25
SCOPE OF WORK
The SAP will provide site background information; objectives and design of the sediment investigation;
field sampling methods; sample handling procedures; laboratory analytical methods; quality assurance
and quality control requirements; data analysis, recordkeeping, and reporting requirements; schedule;
project personnel and responsibilities; and references. The site-specific HASP will identify hazards
associated with sample collection and will identify locations of and routes to emergency medical facilities.
Herrera will prepare a preliminary draft SAP for review by the City, a draft SAP that addresses comments
on the preliminary draft SAP and for submittal to Ecology for review, and a final SAP addressing
Ecology’s comments. The SAP will be prepared using Herrera’s quality control procedures that include
internal reviews by an editor, the project manager, and the principal-in-charge.
The Permit requires that a SAP approved by Ecology is completed by October 31, 2026. Herrera
recommends that the SAP be completed sooner by May 2026 so that the sediment sampling fieldwork
can occur between August 15 and September 30, 2026, as specified in the permit.

Assumptions
● Sampling and analysis assumptions are specified in Task 2.0.
● The City will provide comments within 2 weeks of receiving the preliminary draft SAP and Herrera
will prepare the draft SAP within 2 weeks of receiving those comments.

● Ecology will provide comments within 6 weeks of receiving the draft SAP and Herrera will prepare
the final SAP within 2 weeks of receiving those comments.

Deliverables
● Preliminary draft SAP as Word and PDF files for City review
● Draft SAP as a PDF file for Ecology review
● Final SAP with response to comments as PDF files

Task 2.0 – Sediment Sampling
For budgeting purposes, it is assumed that surface sediment grab samples will be collected in 1 day, at
up to six stations along a transect in a depositional area downstream of the acute and chronic mixing
zones for the outfall. One sample will be collected from each of the six stations, and 1 field duplicate will
be collected for quality control. The number of samples to be collected is based on SCUM guidance that
identifies up to six sample locations as sufficient to cover most river situations. The primarily
unidirectional flow of the White River at the outfall supports an assumption that six stations will be
sufficient to characterize sediment quality in the discharge vicinity.
The location of each sampling station will be recorded with a hand-held field global positioning system
(GPS). Sediment samples will be collected from the six stations using a decontaminated stainless-steel

SCOPE OF WORK
shovel or spoons. Sediment samples will be collected to a depth of 10 centimeters, for homogenization in
a decontaminated stainless-steel bowl, and placement into sample jars provided by the laboratory.
Herrera will process the sediment samples and deliver them to local laboratories certified by Ecology for
the analyses. Sample analysis will include all 47 constituents listed in Table A-1 of SCUM that include
metals, semi-volatile organic compounds, total polychlorinated biphenyls, and conventional parameters
(total organic carbon, ammonia, total sulfides, and total volatile solids, and total solids). It is assumed that
no supplemental analyses, such as dioxins/furans or PBDEs will be required because they are not
specified in SCUM for sanitary wastewater outfalls. It is also assumed that bioassay testing will not likely
be needed as long as no chemical criteria exceedances are found based on sampling. However, it is
assumed that an additional 7 liters of sediment will be collected and archived at each sample station in
case chemical concentrations indicated that bioassay testing is required for one or more samples.
Sampling will be conducted early in the permit-specified period of August 15 to September 30, 2026.
Laboratory analyses will be expedited to allow time for conducting bioassay testing of any samples
exceeding chemical criteria within the bioassay sample holding time of 8 weeks. Bioassay testing would
require authorization of additional budget for bioassay testing.
Chemical data will be validated by the project chemist as the QA1 level as described in the SAP.
Laboratory corrective actions and further data validation that may be required are not covered under this
task.

Assumptions
● All sediment sampling will be performed by two Herrera staff using decontaminated stainless-steel
bowls and spoons.

● Sample collection will require 1 day and will be conducted per SCUM requirements.
● A total of 7 surface sediment grab samples will be analyzed for 47 required constituents in
accordance with the Ecology-approved SAP.

● Sediment chemistry results will be reported by the laboratory (ALS Environmental) within 2 weeks to
allow adequate time to evaluate the chemistry results, and to prepare and initiate bioassay analysis
if necessary, within the 8-week holding time.

● A contingency Task 5 is included in this scope of work in case bioassay testing is needed to verify
compliance with sediment management standards.

Deliverables
● Field and laboratory data reports to be submitted with the Sediment Monitoring Report (Task 3.0).

SCOPE OF WORK

Task 3.0 – Sediment Monitoring Report
Herrera will prepare a draft and final Sediment Monitoring Report based on sampling and analysis
conducted in Task 2.0. The report will follow the guidelines presented in SCUM Appendix A (Ecology
2025) and will include:

● Introduction
● Project Purpose and Description
● Sampling and Analysis Methods
● Sample Analysis Results
● Conclusions
Figures will indicate sample locations and laboratory data will be summarized in a table with comparisons
to marine benthic chemical criteria (SQS values in Table A-1 of SCUM). All laboratory data will be
provided in an appendix. An electronic data deliverable will be prepared for Ecology’s Environmental
Information Management (EIM) database.
Herrera will prepare a preliminary draft report for review by City of Enumclaw staff, a draft report that
addresses comments on the preliminary draft report for submittal to Ecology for review, and a final
report addressing Ecology’s comments. The report will be prepared using Herrera’s quality control
procedures that include internal reviews by an editor, the project manager, and the principal-in-charge.

Assumptions
● The City will provide comments within 2 weeks of receiving the preliminary draft report and Herrera
will prepare the draft report within 2 weeks of receiving those comments.

● Ecology will provide comments within 6 weeks or receiving the draft report and Herrera will prepare
the final report within 2 weeks of receiving those comments.

Deliverables
● Preliminary draft report as Word and PDF files for City review
● Draft report as a PDF file for Ecology review
● Final report with response to comments as PDF files

Task 4.0 – Project Management
Herrera’s project manager (George Iftner) will be responsible for ongoing administration of the project,
including preparing invoices and progress reports, as well as coordination of work efforts with the
designated City of Enumclaw point of contact (Scott Woodbury) and all laboratories. Herrera’s project

SCOPE OF WORK
manager will have phone and e-mail contact with the City of Enumclaw and laboratories on an asneeded basis.

Deliverables
● Progress reports and invoices.

Task 5.0 – Contingency Bioassay Testing
This task is included as a contingency to cover bioassay testing if chemical criteria exceedances are
detected that trigger the need for bioassay testing to verify compliance with sediment management
standards.

Assumptions
● The budget allows for bioassay testing on up to two samples, a budget amendment would be
needed in the unlikely event that more than two bioassay samples require laboratory analysis.

● Samples from each of the six sediment sampling stations will be submitted to Spheros
Environmental

Deliverables
● If bioassay testing is required, QA/QC and data validation results and reporting will be covered
under Task 3.0 Sediment Monitoring Reporting.

connection with services provided to the City, all exhibits submitted into the decision
record, and all official recordings shall be the property of the City. All such
documents, exhibits, and recordings shall be forwarded to the City at its request and
may be used by the City as it sees fit. The City agrees that if the documents, exhibits,
and recordings are used for purposes other than those intended by the Agreement, the
City does so at its sole risk and agrees to hold the Consultant harmless for such use.
The Consultant will be permitted to retain secondary, working copies of the
documents, exhibits, and recordings for its files.
All services performed under this Agreement will be conducted solely for the benefit
of the City and will not be used for any other purpose without written consent of the
City.
b) The Consultant and its subconsultants shall keep available for inspection, by the City,
for a period of three years after final payment, the cost records and accounts
pertaining to this Agreement and all items related to, or bearing upon, these records.
If any litigation, claim or audit is started before the expiration of the three-year
retention period, the records shall be retained until all litigation, claims or audit
findings involving the records have been resolved. The three-year retention period

Page 3 of 6

starts when the Consultant receives final payment.
c) Any litigation of this contract shall be brought and tried in judicial jurisdiction of
King County at the Regional Justice Center, Kent, in accordance with the laws of the
State of Washington.
d) In the event it becomes necessary for either party to seek enforcement of the terms or
performance of this agreement, the prevailing party with or without litigation, shall
be entitled to recover its reasonable attorney fees and other costs of proceeding. In
determining the reasonable attorney fees and costs, the prevailing party’s actual
attorneys fees and costs shall be deemed to be prima facie reasonable and the party
opposing said amounts may do so only upon a showing by clear and convincing
evidence that the attorney fees and other cost were unreasonable. Costs as used
herein shall include the time devoted by the prevailing party’s personnel, at the then
current billing rate incurred by the prevailing party in defending itself against the
claim, or prosecuting the claim.
e) If a dispute arises out of or relates to this agreement, or the breach thereof, and if said
dispute cannot be settled through direct discussions, the parties agree to first
endeavor to settle the dispute in an amicable manner by mediation under the
commercial mediation rules of the American Arbitration Association (AAA), before
having recourse to a judicial forum; provided, however, that if one party fails or
refuses to undergo good-faith mediation promptly on request, the other party is
entitled to commence an action in court to seek enforcement of the terms or
performance of this agreement. If this happens and the party who failed or refused to
undergo mediation does not prevail in the court action, then the prevailing party
shall, in addition to attorneys fees and costs and the judgment on the claim, be
awarded liquidated damages in an amount equal to 10% of the judgment on the
claim. Such liquidated damages are not in the nature of a penalty, but are for the
purpose of reimbursing the prevailing party the additional business costs of time and
disruption of office and personnel resulting from the need to undergo formal
litigation without giving mediation a chance. The parties agree that such damages
are difficult, if not impossible, to accurately prove and establish and do thereby agree
that the 10% referenced above is a fair estimate which the parties intend to be
binding upon them. Any mediator selected by the parties or AAA must also be
approved by each party’s insurance company.
f) In the event that any changes are made in the plans and specifications by the City or
persons other than the Consultant, which affect the Consultants work, any and all
liability arising out of such changes is waived as against the Consultant and the City
assumes full responsibility for such changes unless City has given Consultant prior
notice and has received from Consultant written consent for such changes.
g) Upon written request, each of the parties hereto shall execute and deliver, or cause to
be executed and delivered, such additional instruments and documents which may be
necessary and proper to carry out of the terms of this agreement.
h) One or more waivers of compliance with any term, condition, or covenant by the
Consultant shall not be construed by the City as a waiver of a subsequent breach of
Page 4 of 6

38
Professional Service Contract Agreement – Hearing Examiner Services
the same or any other term, condition, or covenant.
i) In the event that any provision of this agreement shall be held to be invalid and
unenforceable, the other provisions of this agreement shall be valid and binding on
the parties thereto.
j) Services provided within this agreement are for the exclusive use of the City.
Consultant shall claim no liability for loss of product, loss of profits, loss of use or
any other indirect or consequential damage.
k) The Consultant shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the City and its officers,
officials, agents, employees, and volunteers from any and all costs, claims, injuries,
damages, losses, suits, or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, arising from the willful
misconduct or negligent acts, errors or omissions of the Contractor, its officers,
employees or agents in performing this Agreement.
The City shall defend, indemnify, and hold harmless the Consultant and its officers,
employees, and agents from any and all costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses, suits,
or liabilities, including attorneys’ fees, arising from the willful misconduct or
negligent acts, errors or omissions of the City, its officers, agents, employees, or
volunteers in performing this Agreement.
The Consultant’s obligations above do not extend to legal actions resulting from a
written decision or recommendation made by the Consultant in performance of their
quasi-judicial duties. The City will represent and defend the Consultant against all
damage claims arising from, legal challenges to, or appeals of any written decision or
recommendation, rendered by the Consultant when acting within the scope of their
quasi-judicial duties under this Agreement. Such representation and defense shall be
performed at the City’s sole cost and expense.
8. Insurance

against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or in
connection with the performance of the work hereunder by the Consultant, its agents,

Agreement shall not be construed to limit the liability of the Consultant to the coverage
provided by such insurance, or otherwise limit the City’s recourse to any remedy available at

SUBJECT:

Confirm Interim City Attorney

Background:
Brett Vinson served as contract city attorney from 2022 until he and the city agreed to terminate
said contract on January 28, 2026. Prior to this Michael J. Reynolds served as City Attorney for
42 years. EMC 2.17.020 establishes that the mayor appoints, and the city council confirms the city
attorney when the position becomes vacant.
Analysis:
Since 2022, Mr. Reynolds has served as Assistant City Attorney, covering the duties when the City
Attorney is unable. Mayor Wright has appointed Mr. Reynolds to serve as Interim City Attorney
until such time as a permanent city attorney is appointed and confirmed by city council.
Administration will be issuing a Request for Proposals for City Attorney services. This process
will take some time to complete and thus the need for an interim appointment.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends Council confirm Michael J. Reynolds as Interim City Attorney until such time
as a permanent city attorney is appointed and confirmed.

SUBJECT:

Co-living Housing Interim Development Regulations Public Hearing –
Ordinance No. 2832

Background:
On December 8, 2025, City Council adopted Ordinance No. 2830 waiving first and second reading to
adopt an ordinance establishing co-living housing interim development regulations immediately. As
required by RCW 36.70A.390, the City Council shall conduct a duly noticed public hearing within
sixty (60) days of adoption to consider public comment and determine whether the interim regulations
should be continued, modified, or replaced with permanent regulations.
The co-living housing interim development regulations allow co-living housing in accordance with
RCW 36.70A.535 (HB 1998) which requires cities planning under the Growth Management Act to
adopt development regulations allowing co-living as a permitted use on any lot located within an urban
growth area that allows at least six multifamily residential units, including on a lots zoned for mixeduse development. HB 1998 requires jurisdictions to adopt co-living regulations no later than December
31, 2025.
The regulations amended the land use matrix in EMC 18.05.020, definitions in EMC 15.04, and
adopted a new section EMC 19.32.180. The new section establishes standards for unit size, parking,
density, fees, and other development regulations.
The City Council held a public hearing for the interim regulations on January 26, 2026. After all of the
comments were received the public hearing was closed.
Comments:
Two comments were received during the public hearing. The first comment was regarding the
definition of a kitchenette to be included within the regulations. The second comment was specific to
requiring the use be a conditional use within the General Office Zoning District.

Analysis:
The City of Enumclaw encourages an adopted 2024 Comprehensive Plan Housing Element Goal
H-3 to “Allow various densities and diverse housing types so the City can accommodate its
projected housing targets and provide for households in all economic segment and for its senior
[residents].”

48
As stated in the findings in RCW 36.70A.535, co-living housing is a type of housing that can
provide options for people who wish to lower their housing expenses by paying less for a smaller
home, those who prefer a living arrangement with shared community spaces that facilitate social
connections, those who wish to trade off location for space and, by living in a small home, also
get to live in a high opportunity neighborhood they could not otherwise afford, or those who want
a low-cost, more private alternative to having a roommate in a traditional rental. Additionally, coliving housing provides a good option for seniors, especially those who want to downsize, or those
who desire a living arrangement that is more social than a standard apartment.
As proposed in the definitions, “Co-living housing” means a residential development with sleeping
units that are independently rented and lockable and provide living and sleeping space, and
residents share kitchen facilities with other sleeping units in the building. Local governments may
use other names to refer to co-living housing including congregate living facilities, single room
occupancy, rooming house, boarding house, lodging house and residential suites.
Public comment had mentioned including a definition and requirement that all sleeping units
include a kitchenette and further defined it. This addition would add to the existing regulations and
could be included now or could be included as part of the Planning Commission review of the final
regulations to be adopted by the council at a later date. Additional public comment requested to
change the co-living use from permitted within the General Office to conditional. The state law
does require co-living as a permitted use on any lot located within an urban growth area that allows at
least six multifamily residential units, including on a lots zoned for mixed-use development, the
General Office zone is nearly entirely within the Mixed-Use Overlay. There are 3 properties within the
city that are in the GO zone and not within the Mixed-Use Overlay, as well as multifamily uses with a
nightwatchman’s quarters as an accessory to the permitted use; therefore co-living by law must be
included in the zone as well as the areas where mixed-use is permitted.
Recommendation:
Staff recommends the city council:
1. Give second reading of Ordinance No. 2832; or
2. Amend Ordinance No. 2832 and give second reading.

49
ORDINANCE NO. 2832
AN ORDINANCE of the City of Enumclaw, King County, Washington, adopting
interim zoning and development regulations to implement the State’s co-living
housing requirements under Engrossed Substitute House Bill 1998 (2024),
amending the City’s land use matrix and related provisions to allow co-living
housing on lots where multifamily development of six units or more is permitted;
declaring an emergency; establishing an immediate effective date of December 8,
2025; providing for a public hearing consistent with RCW 36.70A.390; and
providing for severability.
WHEREAS, the City of Enumclaw (“City”) is authorized to adopt interim zoning
controls and interim development regulations under RCW 36.70A.390, RCW 36.70.790,
and RCW 35A.63.220, which permit immediate adoption of temporary land-use
regulations when necessary to protect the public health, safety, and welfare, provided a
public hearing is held within sixty (60) days; and
WHEREAS, in 2024, the Washington State Legislature adopted Engrossed
Substitute House Bill 1998 (“ESHB 1998”), codified in part at RCW 36.70A.540,
requiring cities planning under the Growth Management Act (“GMA”) to allow co-living
housing on any lot where at least six multifamily dwelling units are permitted; and
WHEREAS, ESHB 1998 defines “co-living housing” as a residential development
containing independently rented, lockable sleeping units that provide living and sleeping
space, where residents share kitchen facilities with other units in the building; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature found that Washington is experiencing a severe
housing affordability crisis, including a shortage of affordable workforce housing, and
that co-living housing historically provided a significant portion of the low-cost privatemarket rental inventory; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature further found that co-living housing provides a wide
range of benefits, including:
• Lower housing costs for residents seeking smaller units;
• Living arrangements that support community connections;
• Increased opportunities for residents to live in high-opportunity
neighborhoods they could not otherwise afford;
• An alternative to traditional roommate rental arrangements;
• Reduced demand for family-sized homes that are currently rented by
singles or small households; and
Ordinance No. 2832
Draft No.: 1
Draft Date: 1/26/26
Ordinance Requested By: Community Development

Page 1

50
WHEREAS, the Legislature also recognized that co-living housing benefits
seniors—particularly those wishing to downsize or who no longer drive—by providing
smaller, more affordable units in walkable neighborhoods close to services; and
WHEREAS, co-living housing is well suited to residents of diverse incomes,
including low-income and very-low-income households, and Washington’s building
codes already include minimum unit sizes and standards ensuring that co-living meets
modern health and safety requirements; and
WHEREAS, the Legislature found that locating co-living developments near
transit, employment, and services can reduce greenhouse-gas emissions, shorten
commute distances, limit sprawl, and reduce development pressure on natural and
working lands; and
WHEREAS, ESHB 1998 requires jurisdictions to adopt implementing co-living
regulations no later than December 31, 2025, and the City will be unable to complete
permanent code updates and Planning Commission review before that deadline; and
WHEREAS, the City’s zoning code does not currently include a specific co-living
housing category, creating uncertainty for staff, applicants, and the public as to how
such uses should be reviewed and processed under existing land-use regulations; and
WHEREAS, adoption of interim development regulations will ensure the City
complies with state law, provide clarity for permit applicants, preserve the status quo,
and prevent development decisions that could conflict with the City’s long-term planning
objectives; and
WHEREAS, interim development regulations will provide the City with adequate
time to complete a full legislative review, including environmental analysis, public
participation, Planning Commission recommendations, and preparation of permanent
zoning amendments; and
WHEREAS, Washington courts have long upheld the authority of cities to adopt
interim zoning controls when necessary to address emerging land-use issues, including
Matson v. Clark County Bd. of Comm’rs, 79 Wn. App. 641 (1995), Norco Constr. v. King
County, 97 Wn.2d 680 (1982), and Byers v. Clallam County, 84 Wn.2d 796 (1975); and

Ordinance No. 2832
Draft No.: 1
Draft Date: 1/26/26
Ordinance Requested By: Community Development

Page 2

51
WHEREAS, additional case law confirms that interim zoning is valid when
supported by adequate legislative findings and when consistent with comprehensive
planning principles, including Faben Point v. City of Mercer Island, 102 Wn. App. 775
(2000), and Caswell v. Pierce County, 99 Wn. App. 194 (2000); and
WHEREAS, the GMA requires that interim zoning adopted under RCW
36.70A.390 not substantially interfere with the goals of the GMA, and the City Council
finds that adopting co-living interim regulations will advance those goals by supporting
housing availability, efficient urban growth, and reduced displacement; and
WHEREAS, WAC 197-11-880 exempts emergency interim zoning ordinances
from SEPA threshold determinations, recognizing that permanent regulations will
undergo full SEPA review once drafted; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that without immediate adoption of interim
regulations governing co-living housing, the City could receive land use or building
applications proposing co-living developments under a zoning framework that does not
address this newly created housing type, resulting in inconsistent interpretation of state
law, confusion for the public, and potential vesting under outdated standards; and
WHEREAS, allowing such applications to vest under existing code before
permanent regulations are adopted would undermine the City’s ability to fully implement
the requirements of ESHB 1998, could result in development patterns inconsistent with
the Comprehensive Plan, and would prevent the City from applying standards that
ensure compatible density, infrastructure capacity, neighborhood impacts, and lifesafety protections; and
WHEREAS, the circumstances requiring this action were not created by the City
but result from the Legislature’s imposition of a mandatory December 31, 2025 deadline
for co-living zoning compliance, which cannot be met through the City’s normal
legislative process involving Planning Commission review, public participation, SEPA
analysis, and Comprehensive Plan consistency review; and
WHEREAS, the City Council finds that an emergency exists because, without
immediate adoption of interim regulations effective December 8, 2025, the City risks
falling out of compliance with mandatory state housing law, resulting in legal uncertainty
and potential impairment of the public welfare; and

Ordinance No. 2832
Draft No.: 1
Draft Date: 1/26/26
Ordinance Requested By: Community Development

Page 3

52
WHEREAS, adoption of these interim regulations is therefore necessary to
protect the public health, safety, and welfare by ensuring orderly permit review,
preventing inconsistent zoning interpretations, and providing adequate time to develop
permanent regulations; and
WHEREAS, the City Council will conduct a duly noticed public hearing within
sixty (60) days of adoption, as required by RCW 36.70A.390, to consider public
comment and determine whether the interim regulations should be continued, modified,
or replaced with permanent regulations;
NOW, THEREFORE, THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ENUMCLAW,
KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON, DOES ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:
SECTION 1: FINDINGS. The City Council adopts the above "WHEREAS"
recitals as findings of fact in support of its action as required by RCW 36.70A.390 and
RCW 35.63.200.
SECTION 2: INTERIM ZONING REGULATIONS IMPOSED.
Temporary
Interim Zoning Regulations are hereby imposed related to Co-living as set forth in
Exhibit A, attached hereto and incorporated herein by this reference.

months from the effective date of Ordinance 2830 (effective December 8, 2025), unless
extended, modified, or terminated by the City Council.

period, City staff shall prepare a work plan that includes:
1.
Evaluation of co-living housing impacts on traffic, parking, utilities,
emergency services, and neighborhood compatibility;
2.
Review of building, fire, and life-safety code requirements for co-living
structures;
3.
Drafting of permanent amendments to the Enumclaw Municipal Code
addressing co-living housing;
4.
SEPA review of permanent regulations; and
5.
Public engagement and Planning Commission review consistent with the
City’s legislative procedures.
The work plan shall be provided to the City Council for acknowledgment within sixty (60)
days of adoption.

SECTION 5: DECLARATION OF EMERGENCY. The City Council finds and
declares that an emergency exists due to the statutory requirement to adopt permanent
co-living regulations by December 31, 2025, and the inability to complete required
legislative procedures before that date. This ordinance is necessary for the immediate
preservation of the public health, safety, and welfare and shall take effect immediately
as an emergency interim zoning measure pursuant to RCW 35A.12.130 and RCW
36.70A.390. The City Council further finds that this emergency is not the result of City
delay but arises from the Legislature’s imposed deadline and the need to prevent
vesting under outdated regulations.
SECTION 6: SEVERABILITY. If any section, sentence, clause, or phrase of
this ordinance is held to be invalid or unconstitutional by a court of competent
jurisdiction, such decision shall not affect the validity of the remaining provisions of this
ordinance.
SECTION 7: EFFECTIVE DATE. This ordinance, being an exercise of a power
specifically delegated to the City legislative body, is not subject to referendum and shall
take effect immediately upon its adoption.

condition and Grantee shall pay the reasonable costs of such work to the City,

the total costs, fees and expenses of third parties).
C. Grantee agrees that if any of its actions under the Franchise materially impair or
damage any City property, survey monument, or property owned by a third-party,
Grantee will restore, at its own cost and expense, the impaired or damaged property
to the same condition as existed prior to such action. Such repair work shall be
performed and completed to the reasonable satisfaction of the Public Works Director
Ordinance No. 2834
Draft: 1
Date: 1/21/26
Requested by: Public Works

Page 4 of 17

68
Grantee agrees to coordinate its activities with the City and all other utilities located
within the public right-of-way within which Grantee is under taking its activity.
D. The City expressly reserves the right to prescribe how and where Grantee Facilities
shall be installed within the public right-of-way and may from time to time, pursuant
to the applicable sections of this Franchise, require the removal, relocation and/or
replacement thereof in the public interest and safety at the expense of the Grantee.
E. Before commencing any work within the public right-of-way, the Grantee shall

overhanging streets, public rights-of-way, and places in the Franchise Area so as to
prevent the branches of such trees from coming in physical contact with the Grantee
Facilities. Grantee shall be responsible for debris removal from such activities. If
such debris is not removed within twenty-four (24) hours of completion of the
trimming, the City may, at its sole discretion, remove such debris and charge
Grantee for the cost thereof. This section does not, in any instance, grant automatic
authority to clear vegetation for purposes of providing a clear path for radio signals.
Any such general vegetation clearing will require a land clearing permit.
Section 7.

Repair and Emergency Work

In the event of an emergency, the Grantee may commence such repair and
emergency response work as required under the circumstances, provided that the Grantee
shall notify the City Public Works Director in writing as promptly as possible, before such
repair or emergency work commences, or as soon thereafter as possible, if advance notice
is not practical. The City may act, at any time, without prior written notice in the case of
emergency, but shall notify the Grantee in writing as promptly as possible under the
circumstances.
Section 8.

Damages to City and Third-Party Property

Grantee agrees that if any of its actions under this Franchise impairs or damages
any City property, survey monument, or property owned by a third-party, Grantee will
restore, at its own cost and expense, said property to a safe condition. Such repair work
shall be performed and completed to the satisfaction of the City Engineer.
Section 9.

Location Preference

Any structure, equipment, appurtenance, or tangible property of a utility, other than
the Grantee’s, which was installed, constructed, completed or in place prior in time to
Grantee’s application for a permit to construct or repair Grantee Facilities under this
Franchise shall have preference as to positioning and location with respect to the Grantee
Facilities. However, to the extent that the Grantee Facilities are completed and installed
prior to another utility’s submittal of a permit for new or additional structures, equipment,
appurtenances, or tangible property, then the Grantee Facilities shall have priority. These
rules governing preference shall continue in the event of the necessity of relocating or
changing the grade of any City road or right-of-way. A relocating utility shall not necessitate
the relocation of another utility that otherwise would not require relocation. This Section
Ordinance No. 2834
Draft: 1
Date: 1/21/26
Requested by: Public Works

Page 5 of 17

69
shall not apply to any City facilities or utilities that may in the future require the relocation of
Grantee Facilities. Such relocations shall be governed by Section 11. Grantee must follow
City’s established non-discriminatory requirements for placement of Telecommunication
System facilities in Rights-of-Way, including the specific location of facilities in the Rights-ofWay, and must in any event install Telecommunication System facilities in a manner that
minimizes interference with the use of the Rights-of-Way by the City or others, including
others that may be installing communications facilities. Within limits reasonably related to
the City’s role in protecting public health, safety, and welfare, the City may require that
Telecommunication System facilities be installed at a particular time, at a specific place, or
in a particular manner as a condition of access to a particular Right-of-Way; may deny
access if Grantee is not willing to comply with City's requirements; and may remove, or
require removal of, any facility that is not installed by Grantee in compliance with the
requirements established by the City, or that is installed without prior City approval of the
time, place, or manner of installation, and charge Grantee for all the costs associated with
removal and repair.
Section 10. Grantee Information
A. Grantee agrees to supply, at no cost to the City, any information reasonably
requested by the City to coordinate municipal functions with Grantee’s activities and
fulfill any municipal obligations under state law. Said information shall include, at a
minimum, as-built drawings of Grantee Facilities, installation inventory, and maps
and plans showing the location of existing or planned facilities within the City. Said
information may be requested either in hard copy or electronic format, as maintained
in Grantee’s data base system, as now or hereinafter existing. Grantee shall keep
the City informed of its long-range plans for coordination with the City’s long-range
plans.
B. The parties understand that Washington law limits the ability of the City to shield
from public disclosure any information given to the City. Accordingly, the City agrees
to notify the Grantee of requests for public records related to the Grantee, and to
give the Grantee a reasonable amount of time to obtain an injunction to prohibit the
City’s release of records.
Grantee shall indemnify and hold harmless the City for any loss or liability for fines,
penalties, and costs (including attorneys’ fees) imposed on the City because of nondisclosures requested by Grantee under Washington’s Public Records Act, provided
the City has notified Grantee of the pending request.
Section 11. Relocation of Grantee Facilities
A. In areas of the City in which there are no aerial facilities, Grantee shall place any
new Facilities underground where existing telecommunications and cable facilities
are located underground. Any new Facilities to be located above-ground shall be
placed on existing utility poles. No new utility poles shall be installed in connection
with placement of new above-ground Facilities.
B. Grantee recognizes the need for the City to maintain adequate width for installation
and maintenance of sanitary sewer, water and storm drainage utilities owned by the
City and other public utility providers. Thus, the City reserves the right to maintain clear
zones within the public right-of- way for installation and maintenance of said utilities. The
Ordinance No. 2834
Draft: 1
Date: 1/21/26
Requested by: Public Works

Page 6 of 17

70
clear zones for each Right-of-Way segment shall be noted and conditioned with the
issuance of each Right-of-Way permit. If adequate clear zones are unable to be
achieved on a particular Right-of-Way, Grantee shall locate in an alternate Right-of-Way,
obtain easements from private property owners, or propose alternate construction
methods which maintain and/or enhance the existing clear zones.

C. Except as otherwise required by law, Grantee agrees to relocate, remove or reroute
its Facilities as ordered by the City, at no expense or liability to the City, except as
may be required by RCW Chapter 35.99. Pursuant to the provisions set forth herein ,
Grantee agrees to protect and save harmless the City from any third-party claims for
service interruption or other losses in connection with any such change or relocation
other than City’s negligence or willful misconduct.
D. If the City determines that a project necessitates the relocation of the Grantee’s
existing Facilities, then:
1. Within a reasonable time, which shall be no less than one hundred eighty
(180) days prior to the commencement of the project, the City shall provide
the Grantee with written notice requiring relocation; provided that in the event
of an Emergency Situation beyond the control of the City and which will result
in severe financial consequences to the City or its citizens or businesses, the
City shall give the Grantee written notice as soon as practicable;
2. The City shall provide the Grantee with copies of information for such
improvement project and a proposed location for the Grantee’s Facilities so
that Grantee may relocate its Facilities in other Rights-of-Way in order to
accommodate the project; and
3. The Grantee shall complete relocation of its Facilities at no charge or
expense to the City so as to accommodate the project at least ten (10) days
prior to commencement of the project. In the event of an Emergency Situation
as described in this Section, the Grantee shall relocate its Facilities within the
reasonable time period specified by the City.
E. The Grantee may, after receipt of written notice requesting a relocation of its
Facilities, submit to the City written alternatives to such relocation. The City shall
evaluate such alternatives and advise the Grantee in writing if one or more of the
alternatives are suitable to accommodate the work, which would otherwise
necessitate relocation of the Facilities. If so requested by the City, the Grantee shall
submit additional information to assist the City in making such evaluation. The City
shall give each alternative proposed by the Grantee full and fair consideration, within
a reasonable time, so as to allow for the relocation work to be performed in a timely
manner. In the event the City ultimately determines that there is no other reasonable
alternative, the Grantee shall relocate its Facilities as otherwise provided in this
Section. The provisions of this Section shall in no manner preclude or restrict the
Grantee from making any arrangements it may deem appropriate when responding
to a request for relocation of its Facilities by any Person or entity other than the City,
where the Facilities to be constructed by said Person or entity are not or will not
become City owned, operated or maintained Facilities; provided that such
arrangements shall not unduly delay a City construction project.

F. The Grantee shall indemnify, hold harmless and pay the costs of defending the City
against any and all third party claims, suits, actions, damages, or liabilities for delays
on City construction projects caused by or arising out of the failure of the Grantee to
relocate its Facilities in a timely manner; provided, that the Grantee shall not be
responsible for damages due to delays caused by the City, and contractor employed
by the City, or circumstances beyond the reasonable control of the Grantee.
G. In the event that the City orders the Grantee to relocate its Facilities for a project
which is primarily for private benefit, the private party or parties causing the need for
such project shall reimburse the Grantee for the cost of relocation in the same
proportion as their contribution to the total cost of the project.
H. In the event of an unforeseen Emergency Situation that creates a threat to public
safety, health or welfare, the City may require the Grantee to relocate its Facilities at
its own expense, any other portion of this Section notwithstanding.
Section 12.

Abandonment and or Removal of Grantee Facilities

A. Upon the expiration, termination, or revocation of the rights granted under the
Franchise, the Grantee shall remove all of its Facilities from the Rights-of-Way of the
City within one hundred eighty (180) days of receiving notice from the City’s Public
Works Director; provided however, that the City may permit the Grantee’s
improvements to be abandoned in place in such a manner as the City may
prescribe. Upon permanent abandonment, and Grantee’s agreement to transfer
ownership of the Facilities to the City, the Grantee shall submit to the City a proposal
and instruments for transferring ownership to the City. Any such Facilities which are
not permitted to be abandoned in place which are not removed within one hundred
eighty (180) days of receipt of said notice shall automatically become the property of
the City; provided however, that nothing contained within this Section shall prevent
the City from compelling the Grantee to remove any such Facilities through judicial
action when the City has not permitted the Grantee to abandon said Facilities in
place.
Section 13.

Undergrounding

A. The parties agree that this Franchise does not limit the City’s authority under federal
law, state law, or local ordinance, to require the undergrounding of utilities.
B. Whenever the City requires the undergrounding of aerial utilities in the Franchise
Area, the Grantee shall underground the Grantee Facilities in the manner approved
by the City. Where the City requests relocation of underground facilities for
aesthetic purposes, the cost of relocation shall be paid by the City. In other
cases, where other utilities are present and involved in the undergrounding project,
Grantee shall only be required to pay its fair share of common costs borne by all utilities,
in addition to the costs specifically attributable to the undergrounding of Grantee
Facilities. Common costs shall include necessary costs for common trenching and utility
vaults. Fair share shall be determined in comparison to the total number and size of all
other utility facilities being undergrounded.

Section 14.

Indemnification and Hold Harmless

A. Grantee shall indemnify, defend and hold the City, its agents, officers, employees,
volunteers and assigns harmless from and against any and all third party claims,
demands, liability, loss, cost, damage or expense of any nature whatsoever,
including all costs and reasonable attorney's fees, made against them on account of
injury, sickness, death or damage to persons or property which is caused by or
arises out of, or in connection with, the willful, tortuous or negligent acts, failures
and/or omissions of Grantee or its agents, servants, employees, contractors,
subcontractors or assigns in the construction, operation or maintenance of its
Facilities or in exercising the rights granted Grantee in the Franchise; provided,
however, such indemnification shall not extend to injury or damage caused by the
negligence or willful misconduct of the City, its agents, officers, employees,
volunteers or assigns.
B. In the event any such claim or demand be presented to or filed with the City, the City
shall promptly notify Grantee thereof (and in any event prior to the date that
Grantee’s rights to defend such claim or demand would be prejudiced), and Grantee
shall have the right, at its election and at its sole cost and expense, to settle and
compromise such claim or demand, provided further, that in the event any suit or
action be begun against the City based upon any such claim or demand, the it shall
likewise promptly notify Grantee thereof, and Grantee shall have the right, at its
election and its sole cost and expense, to settle and compromise such suit or action,
or defend the same at its sole cost and expense, by attorneys of its own election.
C. The Grantee acknowledges that neither the City nor any other public agency with
responsibility for firefighting, emergency rescue, public safety or similar duties within
the City has the capability to provide trench, close trench or confined space rescue.
The Grantee, and its agents, assigns, successors, or contractors, shall make such
arrangements as Grantee deems fit for the provision of such services. The Grantee
shall hold the City harmless from any liability arising out of or in connection with any
damage or loss to the Grantee for the City’s failure or inability to provide such
services, and, pursuant to the terms of Section 14, the Grantee shall indemnify the
City against any and all third-party costs, claims, injuries, damages, losses, suits, or
liabilities based on the City’s failure or inability to provide such services.
D. Acceptance by the City of any work performed by the Grantee shall not be grounds
for avoidance of this section.
E. It is further specifically and expressly understood that the indemnification provided
herein constitutes the Grantee’s waiver of immunity under Industrial Insurance, Title
51 RCW, solely for the purposes of this indemnification. This waiver has been
mutually negotiated by the parties. The provisions of this section shall survive the
expiration or termination of this Agreement.
Section 15. Insurance
A. The Grantee shall procure and maintain for the duration of this Franchise, insurance
against claims for injuries to persons or damage to property which may arise from or

thirty (30) days’ prior written notice has been given to the City.
C. Acceptability of Insurers. Insurance is to be placed with insurers with a current A.M.

commencement of the work.
E. Grantee shall have the right to self-insure any or all of the above-required insurance.
Any such self-insurance is subject to approval by the City. Grantee’s maintenance of
insurance as required by this Franchise shall not be construed to limit the liability of
Grantee to the coverage provided by such insurance, or otherwise limit the City’s
recourse to any remedy to which the City is otherwise entitled at law or in equity.
Section 16. Performance Security
The Grantee shall provide the City with a performance bond in the amount of Ten
Thousand Dollars ($50,000.00) running for, or renewable for, the term of this Franchise, in a

recovered jointly and severally from the principal and any surety of such financial guarantee
any damages suffered by City as a result thereof, including but not limited to staff time,
material and equipment costs, compensation or indemnification of third parties, and the cost
of removal or abandonment of facilities hereinabove described. Grantee specifically agrees
that its failure to comply with the terms of Section 19 shall constitute damage to the City in
the monetary amount set forth therein. Such a financial guarantee shall not be construed to
limit the Grantee’s liability to the guaranteed amount, or otherwise limit the City’s recourse
to any remedy to which the City is otherwise entitled at law or in equity.
Section 17.

Successors and Assignees

A. All the provisions, conditions, regulations and requirements herein contained shall be
binding upon the successors, assigns of, and independent contractors of the
Grantee, and all rights and privileges, as well as all obligations and liabilities of the
Grantee shall inure to its successors, assignees and contractors equally as if they
were specifically mentioned herein wherever the Grantee is mentioned.
B. This Franchise shall not be assigned or otherwise alienated without the express prior
consent of the City by ordinance. In the event such a transfer, assignment, or
disposal of franchisee’s ownership is approved by the Washington Utilities and
Transportation Commission (“WUTC”), the City will be deemed to have consented to
such transfer. Grantee will provide City with a copy of any such approval.
C. In the case of an assignment or transfer not subject to WUTC approval, Grantee and
any proposed assignee or transferee shall provide and certify the following to the
City not less than sixty (60) days prior to the proposed date of transfer: (a) complete

with respect to the proposed assignee or transferee.
D. IN the case of an assignment or transfer not subject to WUTC approval, prior to the City’s
consideration of a request by Grantee to consent to a Franchise assignment or transfer, the
proposed Assignee or Transferee shall file with the City a written promise to unconditionally
accept all terms of the Franchise, effective upon such transfer or assignment of the
Franchise. The City is under no obligation to undertake any investigation of the
transferor’s state of compliance and failure of the City to insist on full compliance prior to
transfer does not waive any right to insist on full compliance thereafter.
Section 18.
Dispute Resolution
A. In the event of a dispute between the City and the Grantee arising by reason of this
Agreement, the dispute shall first be referred to the operational officers or
representatives designated by City and Grantee to have oversight over the
administration of this Agreement. The officers or representatives shall meet within
thirty (30) calendar days of either party's request for a meeting, whichever request is
first, and the parties shall make a good faith effort to achieve a resolution of the
dispute.
B. If the parties fail to achieve a resolution of the dispute in this manner, either party may
then pursue any available judicial remedies. This Franchise shall be governed by and
construed in accordance with the laws of the State of Washington. In the event any suit,
arbitration, or other proceeding is instituted to enforce any term of this Agreement, the

Section 19.

Enforcement and Remedies

A. If the Grantee shall violate or fail to comply with any of the provisions of this
Franchise, or should it fail to heed or comply with any notice given to Grantee under
the provisions of this agreement, the City may, at its discretion, provide Grantee with
written notice to cure the breach within thirty (30) days of notification. If the breach
cannot be cured within thirty days, the Grantee will be provided a longer period
provided that Grantee commences work on the cure within the original thirty-day
cure period, and makes reasonable efforts to complete the work.. If Grantee does
not comply with the specified conditions within the thirty day cure period, the City
may claim damages of Two Hundred Fifty Dollars ($250.00) per day against the
performance bond in Section 16 for every day after the expiration of the cure period
that the breach is not cured, up to a maximum claim of $10,000. Should the
specified conditions not be cured with thirty (30) days, unless extended in the sole
discretion of the City, Grantee agrees that any and all permits may be suspended or
not issued until the specified conditions are completed to the satisfaction of the City.
B. Should the City determine that Grantee is acting beyond the scope of this Franchise,
the City reserves the right require the Grantee to apply for, obtain, and comply with
all applicable City permits, franchises, or other City permissions for such actions,
and if the Grantee’s actions are not allowed under applicable federal and state or
City laws, to compel Grantee to cease such actions.
Section 20. Compliance with Laws and Regulations
A. This Franchise is subject to, and the Grantee shall comply with all applicable federal
and state or City laws, regulations and policies (including all applicable elements of the
City's comprehensive plan), in conformance with federal laws and regulations, affecting
performance under this Franchise. Furthermore, notwithstanding any other terms of
this agreement appearing to the contrary, the Grantee shall be subject to the police
power of the City to adopt and enforce general ordinances necessary to protect the
safety and welfare of the general public in relation to the rights granted in the Franchise
Area.
B. The City reserves the right at any time to amend this Franchise to conform to any
hereafter enacted, amended, or adopted federal or state statute or regulation relating
to the public health, safety, and welfare, or relating to roadway regulation, or a City
Ordinance enacted pursuant to such federal or state statute or regulation upon
providing Grantee with thirty (30) days written notice of its action setting forth the full
text of the amendment and identifying the statute, regulation, or ordinance requiring
the amendment. Said amendment shall become automatically effective upon
expiration of the notice period unless, before expiration of that period, the Grantee
makes a written call for negotiations over the terms of the amendment. If the parties
do not reach agreement as to the terms of the amendment within thirty (30) days of
the call for negotiations and the proposed amendment is required by law, the City
may enact the proposed amendment, by incorporating the Grantee’s concerns to the

C. Failure of the City to declare any breach or default under this Franchise or any
delay in taking action shall not waive such breach or default, but the City shall
have the right to declare any such breach or default at any time. Failure of the
City to declare one breach or default does not act as a waiver of the City’s right
to declare another breach or default. Notwithstanding anything to the contrary
herein, any determination by the City with respect to matters contained in this
Ordinance and matters related to the Franchise shall be made in accordance
with applicable federal law, including without limitation any applicable rules and

Summary/Background:
The natural gas utility is subject to the Washington State Climate Commitment Act (CCA) and has certain
compliance obligations resulting in annual expenditures. Ordinance No. 2741 authorized the utility to pass on
the CCA compliance cost to the customer utility bill. Since 2023, this has been in the form of a CCA charge per
hundred cubic feet of natural gas (CCF). The CCA charge is now included in the fee resolution.

Recommendations:
Date Sent to Committee: 02/09/2026 Date Returned: 02/09/2026
Council Committee: To be provided at the February 9th meeting.
Staff: Adopt Resolution No. 1866 modifying Gas Utility CCA charge fees for 2026.

FROM:

Chris Searcy, City Administrator

DATE:

February 9, 2026

SUBJECT:

Res. No. 1866 – Fee Resolution – 2026 CCA Charge

Background:
The natural gas utility is subject to the Washington State Climate Commitment Act (CCA) and has certain
compliance obligations resulting in annual expenditures. Ordinance No. 2741 authorized the utility to pass
on the CCA compliance cost to the customer utility bill. Since 2023, this has been in the form of a CCA
charge per hundred cubic feet (CCF) of natural gas delivered.
The utility receives “no-cost” allowances from the state and must consign a certain amount of those to
auction. The auction proceeds from these no-cost allowances may be used to offset the impact to customer
bills, but only for customers at locations connected to the system on July 25, 2021, or earlier (legacy
customers). Thus, newer non-legacy customers have a higher CCA charge.
From 2023-2025 the CCA charge was administratively calculated and did not require council approval
However, the CCA charge is now included in the fee resolution and council approval is requested.
Analysis:
The CCA charges for each calendar year are calculated based on the estimated costs to obtain the necessary
allowances for that year. Beginning in 2024, these charges were adjusted based on looking back at the
previous year and comparing the actual CCA charge revenue received to the actual compliance costs. The
new CCA charges become the sum of the forward-looking estimate and the “true-up” adjustment for the
previous year’s actuals. The history of these charges is:
CCA Charge per hundred cubic feet (CCF) of Natural Gas Delivered
2023
2024
2025
2026
Average 2023-2026
Legacy
$0.0615
$0.0728
$0.0504
$0.0669
$0.0629
Non-legacy
$0.2341
$0.2625
$0.2164
$0.3369
$0.2625
True-up Adjustment
($0.0026) ($0.0397) ($0.0459)
The average residential gas customer using 600 CCF per year would have an annual CCA cost of $40.14
(legacy) or $202.14 (non-legacy) with an annual increase of $9.90 or $72.30, respectively.
Recommendation:
Staff recommend Council approve Res. No. 1866, modifying the 2026 CCA charge for natural gas
customers.

Staff Report
Department of Community Development
TO:

Mayor / City Council

FROM:

Chris Pasinetti, Community Development Dirctor

DATE:

February 9, 2026

SUBJECT:

Fee Resolution No. 1866

Background:
The city’s impact fee regulations allow for an independent fee calculation process. This allows an
applicant to submit more detailed traffic information regarding their specific use to more
accurately access their traffic impacts. The independent fee calculation is reviewed by staff and
approved by the City Council, typically by simple motion for approval.
There is a review fee of $500 for the application, and an additional $500 for costs the city spends
beyond the $500 review fee.
Analysis:
Past fee consolidations within the fee resolutions did not include the application fee for
independent fee calculations, Resolution No. 1866 includes that fee.
Recommendation:
Staff recommend passing Resolution No. 1866

85
RESOLUTION NO. 1866
A RESOLUTION OF THE CITY OF ENUMCLAW, KING COUNTY, WASHINGTON
AMENDING RESOLUTION NO. 1865 TO AMEND FEES.
Whereas, Resolution No. B384 initially established fees which were revised by
subsequent resolutions, and
Whereas, an amendment of Resolution No. 1865, the current fee resolution, is
appropriate to amend fees to Community Development, Parks and Public Works.
Now, therefore, the City Council of the City of Enumclaw, King County,
Washington does hereby resolve as follows:
Section 1:

Resolution No. 1865 as authorized by Ordinance No. 1366 –

Publication of Fees and Charges, hereby repeals and replaces Exhibit A.
Section 2:

Severability. If any provision of this resolution and/or the resolutions

listed in the findings of fact above and/or Ordinance No. 1366 is determined to be invalid
or unenforceable for any reason, the remaining provisions of this resolution and/or the
resolutions listed in the findings of fact above and/or Ordinance No. 1366 shall remain in
force and affect.
Section 3:

Corrections by City Clerk or Code Reviser. Upon approval of the City

Attorney, the City Clerk and the Code Reviser are authorized to make the necessary
corrections to this resolution, including correction of clerical errors; resolution, section, or
subsection numbers; or reference to other local, state, or federal laws, codes, rules, or
regulations.

BUILDING PERMITS
Building permit fees are based on the valuation of the project. The Building Official calculates the valuation of work for all permits. The
valuation listed on the application shall be an estimate of the fair market value of construction including all labor and materials and may not be
the same valuation calculated by the Building Official during review.
The Building Official calculates valuation using the most recent edition of the Building Valuation Data (BVD) Square Foot Construction Costs
Table published by the International Code Council. The BVD table is based on new construction. The Following percentages apply to the
valuation of different work types, as described in the permit application scope of work:
‐ New construction, additions, etc.: 100% of BVD
‐ Structural alteration to existing building, equipment, commercial re‐roof, commercial coach, similar construction not falling into another
category: The valuation listed on the application shall be used concurrent with the approval of the Building Official.
‐ Non‐refundable technology Fee will be assessed at 10% of the building permit fees and all application fees for planning, fire and public works
permit applications.
