KITTITAS COUNTY <br />Board of County Commissioners <br /> <br />AGENDA STAFF REPORT <br /> <br />AGENDA DATE: September 7, 2021 <br /> <br />ACTION REQUESTED: Request to set a public hearing to consider amendments to <br />Kittitas County Code 2.55.080. <br /> <br />BACKGROUND: The Board had previously adopted provisions in the Code <br />that provided for internal review of any denial or <br />withholding of Public Records requested pursuant to the <br />Public Records Act, RCW 42.56. A similar provision in <br />San Juan County was found by the Washington Supreme <br />Court in Kilduff v. San Juan County, 194 Wn. 2d 859 <br />(2019) to violate the Public Records Act. <br /> <br />INTERACTION: Deputy Prosecuting Attorney Doug Mitchell brought to the <br />attention of the RMC that the ordinance was not in <br />compliance with the recent Supreme Court decision. <br />Therefor on behalf of the RMC we are requesting to set a <br />public hearing on September 21, 2021 to consider <br />amendments to Kittitas County Code 2.55.080. <br /> <br />RECOMMENDATION: To set a public hearing on September 21, 2021 at 2pm. <br /> <br />ATTACHMENT: wwwText.html and norText.html <br /> <br />LEAD STAFF: Kari Elkins, Vice Chair for the RMC.
