File created: 2/1/2017 In control: CITY COUNCIL WORKSHOP
On agenda: 2/6/2017 Final action:
Title: Draft Resolution Regarding Index of Records under the Public Records Act Details: The Washington Administrative Code (WAC) Chapter 44-14 states that local agencies are required by the Revised Code of Washington (RCW) Chapter 42.56.070 to provide an index for certain categories of records. The intent of the index is to make available to the public, a listing of records available from the City. A local agency may opt-out of the indexing requirement if it issues a formal order specifying the reasons it cannot maintain an index. This resolution would allow the City to opt-out of having the required index. The City of Camas is partially compliant with this requirement with the presence of an index on the City website, but not all records are indexed. With the continued efforts of the Clerk's office, and the implementation of records management software in 2018, staff will continue to work toward full compliance.
