46.68.070 Applicability.
A. Notification of Applicability.
1. Affected employers located in Everett are to receive written notification that they are subject to this chapter. Such notice shall be in writing, addressed to the company’s chief executive officer, senior official, or CTR manager at the worksite. Such notification shall be delivered a minimum of one hundred fifty days prior to the due date for submittal of their CTR program.
2. Employers that, for whatever reasons, do not receive notice within thirty days of passage of the ordinance codified in this chapter and are either notified or identify themselves to the city within one hundred eighty days of the passage of the ordinance will be granted an extension to assure up to one hundred fifty days within which to develop and submit a CTR program.
3. Employers that have not been identified or do not identify themselves within one hundred eighty days of the passage of the ordinance codified in this chapter and do not submit a CTR program within one hundred eighty days from the passage of the ordinance are in violation.
B. New Affected Employers. Employers that meet the definition of affected employer in this chapter must identify themselves to the city within one hundred eighty days of either moving into the boundaries of the city or growing in employment at a worksite to one hundred or more affected employees. Such employers shall be granted a minimum of one hundred fifty days to develop and submit a CTR program. Employers that do not identify themselves within one hundred eighty days are in violation. New affected employers shall have two years from the city’s acceptance of the program to meet the first CTR reduction goal of fifteen percent; four years to meet the second goal of twenty percent; six years to meet the third goal of twenty-five percent; and twelve years to meet the fourth goal of thirty-five percent from the time they begin their program.
C. Change in Status as an Affected Employer. Any of the following changes in an employer’s status will change the employer’s CTR program requirements:
1. If an employer initially designated as an affected employer no longer employs one hundred or more affected employees and expects not to employ one hundred or more affected employees for the next twelve months, that employer is no longer an affected employer. It is the responsibility of the employer to notify the city that it is no longer an affected employer.
2. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees within the same twelve months, that employer will be considered an affected employer for the entire twelve months, and will be subject to the same program requirements as other affected employers.
3. If the same employer returns to the level of one hundred or more affected employees twelve or more months after its change in status to an unaffected employer, that employer shall be treated as a new affected employer, and will be subject to the same program requirements as other new affected employers.
