Q "\tV ashington State Association of Ciounties AREA CODE 206 TELEPHONE 491-7100 6730 MARTIN WAY N.E. OLYMPIA, WASHINGTON 98506 July 17, 1981 TO: All Chairpersons, Board of County Commissions/Councils, and County Executives FROM: Gary D. Lowe, Assistant Executive Director Attached is a draft resolution implementing SB 4319 (Chapter 240, Laws of 1981) to allow those boards and councils which choose to do so to provide for their own clerk. While the specific parts are quite clear, an explanation of some of the underlying reasoning might be in order: 1) Security of official records. So that there be no confusion as to responsibility for security and location of official county commission or council records, all approved originals should be filed with the county auditor. This should apply to the minutes and any other document upon which the commission/council acts. 2) Continuity of official records. The sequence of official documents and their location--all being kept in the same place--is important to the citizenry, the press, and others (such as state and federal examiners). Copies in the commission/council offices are convenient for many purposes, but future records should be stored with and in the same manner as those of the past. 3) The County Seal 36.22.020 clearly puts the county seal in the control of the county auditor. If, as this resolution suggests, all originals are filed with the county auditor, there should be no problem with the seal remaining with the auditor. 4) Commission/Council. Record keeping has been an issue in at least one home rule county. Please strike the inappropriate term if this resolution is utilized. Each of the specific duties is based on suggestions from several sources. The list is certainly not comprehensive, or it may be longer than need be. It is designed to provide a clear line between the duties of the auditor and the clerk of the board. In rewriting the resolution, care should be exercised to maintain the clear demarcation. A copy of SB 4319 is also enclosed. As always, if you have any questions, please call. GDL:smh Enclosures
