Ordinance 4116: “LeavingAnimals Unattended in
Motor Vehicle”
This last summer, the City Council ofEdmonds passed Ordinance 4116 which
created a new provision or chapter to code
5.05 known as “Leave or confine any animal
in an unattended Motor Vehicle or enclosed
Space – Officers’ Authority to reasonably
remove Animal (5.05.128.2)”.
As you know there have been issues with pets
being left in hot cars during summer.
Statistics show that on a 75-degree day thatwithin 10 minutes the temperature in the car
will reach 100 degrees and another 10
minutes will reach 120 degrees. On an 85degree day, 100 is reached in seven minutes
and 120 in less than 15 minutes.
In speaking with Assistant Police Chief
Lawless, he stated that animal control is notgoing to just be patrolling the streets looking
for dogs in cars. He also said that AnimalControl Officers will assess the situation tosee if it is really warranted such as does thedog appear to be in distress? So yes, you canstill run errands with your dog just as you
understand the timing of your errands and thestatus of the weather. He also stated thatsometimes people coming up to vehicles will
provoke and animal and basically, again, theAnimal Control Officer, if called, will accessthe situation. The Penalties are as follows:1st Infraction: $100; 2nd Infraction is $250 andthird and subsequent infractions: punishable
as a misdemeanor.
If you have any further questions you cancontact the Animal Control Officers at 425771-0205 (hours 8:00 to 6:00) or email themat animalcontrol@edmondswa.gov. In case
you did not know our Animal Control officers
they are: Officer Tabatha Shoemake andOfficer Jessica (Jessi) Gilginas.
