PUBLIC RECORDS DISCLOSURE INFORMATION

 

19-JAN-2021: EXTENSION OF PROCLAMATION 20-28 DUE TO THE COVID-19 EMERGENCY

On January 19, 2021, the Senate of the State of Washington, the House of Representatives concurrently, approved Senate Concurrent Resolution 8402 to extend Proclamation 20-28 until the termination of the COVID-19 state of emergency pursuant to RCW 43.06.210, or until rescinded by gubernatorial or legislative action, whichever occurs first.

  • The requirement that agencies respond to PRA requests within 5 business days is suspended only for requests not received electronically until the termination of the COVID-19 state of emergency or until rescinded by gubernatorial or legislative action, whichever occurs first. Public records requests received electronically will receive an initial response within 5 business days. Records production in response to requests may be delayed. Each County department and office will make a good faith effort to communicate with records requestors in a timely manner as staffing availability and workloads allow during the COVID-19 Emergency.                                   
  • All in-person business pertaining to requests for records is suspended, including: making a public records request in person, onsite inspection or copying of records, and picking up records onsite until the termination of the COVID-19 state of emergency or until rescinded by gubernatorial or legislative action, whichever occurs first.

It is the County's duty to the public to maintain an open and transparent operation of local government. In conjunction with the "Public Record Act", RCW 42.56, each individual department is to maintain adequate records of any documents created or maintained under the department's name. In Island County there is no centralized public records department.
