Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) Upon receipt
				of a request, the executive ethics board will assign it a tracking number and
				log it in.
(2) The public records
				officer or designee will evaluate the request according to the nature of the
				request, volume, and availability of requested records.
(3) Following the initial evaluation of the
				request under this subsection, and within five business days of receipt of the
				request, the public records officer or designee will do one or more of the
				following:
(a) Make the records available for
				inspection or copying including:
(i) If the
				copies are available on the executive ethics board's website, provide the
				internet address and link on the website to the specific records
				requested;

Washington Administrative Code › Title 292 - ETHICS IN PUBLIC SERVICE › Executive Branch › Chapter 292-130 - Agency organization-Public records › Section 292-130-110 - Costs of providing copies of public records-Payments

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1) There is no fee for inspecting public
				records, including inspecting records on the executive ethics board's web
				site.
(2) The executive ethics
				board is not calculating actual costs for copying records because to do so
				would be unduly burdensome for the following reasons: The executive ethics
				board does not have the resources to conduct a study to determine its actual
				copying costs; to conduct such a study would interfere with other essential
				board functions; and the public and requestors have commented on and been
				informed of authorized fees and costs provided in the Public Records Act
				including RCW   42.56.120 and other laws. It is more cost efficient, expeditious
				and in the public interest for the executive ethics board to adopt the state
				legislature's approved fees and costs for most of the executive ethics board's
				records, as authorized in RCW   42.56.120 and as published in the executive
				ethics board's fee schedule.
(3)
				The executive ethics board will charge for copies of records pursuant to the
				default fees in RCW   42.56.120(2)(b) and (c). The executive ethics board will
				charge for customized services pursuant to RCW   42.56.120(3). Under RCW
				  42.56.130, the executive ethics board may charge other copy fees authorized by
				statutes outside of chapter 42.56 RCW. The executive ethics board may enter
				into an alternative fee agreement with a requestor under RCW   42.56.120(4). The
				charges for copying methods used by the executive ethics board are summarized
				in the fee schedule available on the executive ethics board's web site at
www.ethics.wa.gov
.
(4) Requestors are required to pay for copies
				in advance of receiving records. Fee waivers are an exception and are available
				for some small requests under the following conditions:
(a) It is within the discretion of the public
				records officer or designee to waive copying fees when:
(i) All of the records responsive to an
				entire request are paper copies only and are twenty-five or fewer pages;
				or
(ii) All of the records
				responsive to an entire request are electronic and can be provided in a single
				email with attachments of a size totaling no more than the equivalent of one
				hundred printed pages. If that email for any reason is not deliverable, records
				will be provided through another means of delivery, and the requestor will be
				charged in accordance with this rule.

				settlement that is signed by all parties; or, when the board enters a final
				order after a public hearing.

				releasable upon request:

Current through Register Vol. 24-14, July 15, 2024
(1)
				Any person who objects to the initial denial or partial denial of a records
				request may petition in writing (including email) to the public records officer
				or designee for review of that decision. The petition should include a copy of
				or reasonably identify the written statement by the public records officer or
				designee denying the request.

				The public records officer or designee will promptly provide the petition and
				any other relevant information to the chair of the board or the chair's
				designee. The chair or the chair's designee will immediately consider the
				matter and either affirm or reverse such denial within two business days
				following the executive ethics board's receipt of the petition, or within such
				other time as mutually agreed upon by the requestor and executive ethics
				board.
(3) Pursuant to RCW
				  42.56.530, if the executive ethics board denies a requestor access to public
				records because it claims the record is exempt in whole or in part from
				disclosure, the requestor may request the attorney general's office to review
				the matter. The attorney general has adopted rules on such requests in WAC
				44-06-160.
(4) Any person may
				obtain court review of denials of public records requests pursuant to RCW
				  42.56.550 at the conclusion of two business days after the initial denial
				regardless of any internal administrative appeal.
