4. SUMMARY STATEMENT AND REQUIREMENT FOR COUNCIL ACTION:
The City is currently out of compliance with RCW 42.17.260 (3). The statute requires the City to keep an index
of all of the City's public documents. Complying with this requirement would require the City to expend an
exorbitant amount of staff time, perhaps even requiring the City to hire additional staff. The City can issue an
order, pursuant to RCW 42.17.260(4), declaring the requirement to maintain the index too burdensome. It is
recommended that the City Council approve the attached order declaring compliance with RCW 42.17.260(3) to
be overly burdensome and requiring the City to make available for inspection and/or copying all non-exempt
public records, including any indexes that are maintained by the City pursuant to the Public Disclosure Act, Ch.
42.17 RCW.
