De-Gendering
Budget Impact:
Current Budget: $0

Administrativ e Recommendation:
Approve Ordinance No. 6695
Background Summary:
The proposed ordinance authorizes staff to have the Auburn Municipal Code revised to
change gendered pronouns to non-gendered terms.
The City has a long history of promoting equality and non-discrimination. However, the current
version of our Municipal Code dates from 1957 and used male pronouns almost exclusively.
As time went on, that code was amended and new sections of the code were added. Some
of those amendments changed “he” to “he/she” or “he or she,” but those changes are not
consistent throughout the code.
In recent years, best practices in code drafting reflect a trend to using non-gendered terms.
For example, where the code refers to a Council member, instead of saying “he or she” the
code would say “the Council member….” Additionally, there is an ongoing trend to change
some common position titles to eliminate references to gender. ‘Councilman” and
“Councilwoman” became “Councilmember.” “Policeman” and “Policewoman” became
“Police Officer.”
State law allows us to “modernize” the code where appropriate, when doing so does not
change the meaning of the original ordinance.
As we move forward with updating the City’s website, the Clerk’s office has been talking to
Code Publishing about moving our code to their newer platform. Bellevue uses this platform
(https://bellevue.municipal.codes/). It is cleaner and easier to search. Also, it provides some
customization options, such as storing our original ordinance and resolutions, that will make it
easier for residents to track the history of city laws and policies. As you know, making
information available on the City’s website helps us respond more quickly to public records
requests.
The changes to the code and the migration to the new platform are within the department’s
2018 budget.

This and other surrounding properties were rezoned in October, 2006 from either M1 Light Industrial or R2 Single Family Residential to EP Environmental
Park District (ORD 6037). City Council through ORD 6660 then rezoned most of the properties back to M1 Light Industrial on 10/16/17
This site is a Category II Wetland. See ACC 16.10.010 Section C for enhancement and creation of wetland ratios. Property is 100% wetland, with roughly 5 of
the 8.26 acres being emergent vegetation and the remaining 3.26 acres being forested wetland.
The 5 acres of emergent wetlands has a high-probability of potential for wetland enhancements that could be used to compensate for impacts imposed by
future development activities within the City.
King County acquired the property in 1992 due to delinquent property taxes.
City assessed LID liens against the property which came due March 10, 1997. City wrote off total balance of LID in amount of $190,624.40 once City acquired
ownership.
The property was purchased for $180,000 from King County on 9/19/2006 for the overall enhancement of the area. Resolution 4099
authorized the purchase.
