  • For the purpose of this chapter, certain abbreviations, terms, phrases, words and their derivatives shall be construed as specified in WAC 197-11-700 through 799 or in Selah Municipal Code Chapter 10.02 unless the context requires a different meaning. Where terms are not defined in WAC 197-11-700 through 799 or in Selah Municipal Code Chapter 10.02, they shall have the ordinary accepted meaning within the context with which they are used. Where an abbreviation, term, phrase, word and their derivative could be construed to fall under two definitions, the more specific shall prevail. Webster's Ninth New Collegiate Dictionary, 1983, shall be the source for ordinary accepted meaning and for definition of words not define in WAC 197-11-700 through 799 or in Selah Municipal Code Chapter 10.02.
