'. THE CITY COUNCIL OF THE CITY OF ISSAQUAH, WASHINGTON, DO

ORDAIN AS FOLLOWS:

section 1. Findinas and Declaration of Emeraency.

A. Findinas. The city Council makes thefollowing findings:

.

.68161.

1. On February 15, 1994, JudgeDavid S. Admire of theNortheast District Court forKing County, dismissed drivingwhile intoxicated prosecutionsin city of Bothell v.Gutschmidt and city of Bothellv. Follett.

2. In dismissing the prosecutions,Judge Admire opined thatcertain Bothell city ordinancesenacting and adopting the ModelTraffic Ordinance, Chapter46.90 RCW, were invalid because(a) the city could not provethat three copies of the statestatutes adopted by referencein the ordinances were on filein the Office of the City Clerkon the date the statutes wereadopted; and (b) copies of thestatutes, in the form adopted,were not authenticated andrecorded in the ordinance book,although at least one copy wasavailable in the Clerk'soffice.

3. RCW 35A.12.140, which requiredthree copies of adoptedstatutes to be on file when theci ty adopted the MTO wasamended in 1982 to require onlyone copy to be on file. Theci ty Clerk maintained threecopies and then one copy whenthe statute changed. As aresult, the first part of JudgeAdmire's ruling would not beapplicable to the city.However, if the second part of
