Welcome, Voter

This directory is compiled by the League of Women Voters of Tacoma-Pierce County as a resource for citizens who wish to engage with their representatives at any level of government. The League also provides election information at www.VOTE411 . We encourage all residents of Pierce County to take advantage of these resources to learn more about how to be engaged with government. One of the first steps in getting involved is writing a Letter to the Editor. On page 40, we have suggestions for writing this kind of letter and getting it printed, plus contact information for publications in Pierce County. You can also write, phone, or e-mail any elected official in the county, as well as state and federal government officials, using the information on pages 4-34. Your best chance of being heard is to stand in front of the individual who represents you. Included in the directory are the meeting times for all city/town councils, neighborhood/ community councils, school boards, and other groups in the County. When you arrive, sign in and indicate by your name if you wish to speak. We’ve also included the office numbers in Olympia for all of our Pierce County State Representatives. Be sure to make an appointment if you wish to visit with them. If there is a particular issue that you want to pursue, we’ve included Making an Advocacy Plan on page 39. This guide leads you through the process of working with others on your issue of choice. A good starting point for issue information is the LWV of Washington website, www.lwvwa.org . This comprehensive site has links to information about ballot issues, political parties, campaign finance reform, and citizen watchdog groups. Finally, we have included information on how to choose and support a candidate on page 40. The League does not endorse any political party or candidate, but this information can help YOU decide how to use your vote. Contact information for the political parties is on page 38. Our objective in producing this guide is to ensure that you have the information you need to be an engaged citizen. The people listed in this booklet represent you. Let your voice be heard!

About the League of Women Voters of Tacoma-Pierce County

We are women and men of all ages and backgrounds who want to make a difference in our communities, our country, and our world. We encourage informed and active participation in government. The League is political, but nonpartisan; our organization does not rate, endorse, or support political candidates , or any political party. • Membership is open to all people age 16 or older, with Associate Membership available for those younger. • In order to increase understanding on major policy issues, we research issues from many points of view and educate ourselves, the public, and decision-makers. • We are nonpartisan. We do not support, oppose, or rate candidates. • We do support (or oppose) issues and legislation, after member study and agreement. We mobilize people to vote and to have a say in the complex decisions which affect us all. • We sponsor and assist with candidates’ forums – on television and in public places. • Our other activities include free public forums on issues, voter registration drives, and nonpartisan election guides. • Current issues we are studying include Mental Health Services in Pierce County and Pierce County Funding. We seek to increase League and citizen involvement in: • local governments and boards, • contributions to traditional and online publications, • public service. Involvement means: • voting, • paying attention to government meetings, • contacting (by phone, mail, e-mail, visit) elected officials, • joining citizen advisory commissions and task forces, • joining advocacy groups, • running for public office. Consider joining in the effort: The League of Women Voters can always use more help to educate voters on local, state, and national issues and candidates’ views.

FORMS OF MUNICIPAL GOVERNMENT Municipalities organized under Title 35 RCW (Revised Code of Washington, the state’s set of adopted laws) may choose from the Council- Manager, Mayor-Council, or Commissioner forms of government. Municipalities organized under Title 35A RCW may choose from the Council-Manager or Mayor-Council form of government. Council-Manager The legislative body of council-manager cities is the city council. The mayor is the ceremonial head of the city and chair of the council. The mayor is a member of the city council and as such can vote on all matters before the city council. The city manager is the administrative head of the city and is appointed by the council. In most cities, the mayor is elected by the council, but in other cities may be elected directly by the voters. Mayor-Council The legislative body of mayor-council cities and towns is the council. The mayor is the chair of the council but is not a member of the council. The mayor is elected by a vote of the people to be the administrative head of the city. The mayor can vote only to break a tie vote of the council as long as the matter is other than the passage of any ordinance, grant, or revocation of franchise or license, or any resolution for the payment of money. The mayor has the power to veto ordinances. The council may override the veto by a majority vote plus one.

MUNICIPAL CLASSIFICATIONS First Class Municipalities and Charter Cities A first class city is one having at least ten thousand (10,000) inhabitants at the time of its organization or reorganization. The form of govern- ment and the manner and mode in which these cities exercise the powers, functions, and duties conferred upon them by law is decided by the citizens through the adoption of a local charter. They operate under chapter 35.22 RCW . Tacoma is the only first class city in Pierce County. Initiative and Referendum: First Class cities have the authority to adopt the powers of initiative and referendum in their charters. The citizens of Tacoma have adopted these powers in their charter. Second Class Cities Second class cities have over 1,500 residents at the time of organization. They do not have a home rule charter. There are no second class cities in Pierce County. Optional Municipal Code Cities The Optional Municipal Code was designed to provide broad statutory home rule in matters of local concern. Any unincorporated area with a population of at least 1,500 may incorporate as an optional municipal code city. Those with over 10,000 residents may adopt a charter. Those with charters may adopt the powers of initiative and referendum. Those without charters may be granted such powers by the Legislature. There are 16 code cities in Pierce County. Towns A municipal corporation of the fourth class, which shall be known as a town, is one having not less than three hundred (300) and not more than fifteen hundred (1,500) inhabitants at the time of organization. Towns operate under chapter 35.27 RCW . The general powers of initiative and referendum are not available to towns. There are six towns in Pierce County. Further Information The authority to incorporate into cities is found only in the state constitution. “…the legislature, by general laws, shall provide for the incorporation, organization and classification in proportion to population,…” of all cities and towns (Article XI, Section 10 Washington State Constitution). The general laws of the state of Washington are found in the Revised Code of Washington ( RCW ). How these laws are administered and implemented is found in the Washington Administrative Code ( WAC ). Copies of both the RCW and WAC are available in local libraries, from the State of Washington, and on the web at: apps.leg.wa.gov/rcw/ and apps.leg.wa.gov/wac/ . The municipal classifications are first class, second class, towns, and code. They are defined in chapter 35.01 RCW and chapter 35A.01 RCW .

NEIGHBORHOOD / COMMUNITY COUNCILS Often, any resident, business owner, employee, property owner, or member of an existing neighborhood group within each Neighborhood Association or Council area is considered a member.

TO SUCCESSFULLY ADVOCATE FOR CHANGES IN YOUR COMMUNITY, MAKE AN ADVOCACY PLAN Goal: Set your objectives in a few brief sentences. • Identify the problem. • Describe your favored solution.

1. Consider all elements of the problem. • Who opposes changing the status quo and why? • Who can be recruited to support your solution? • Who has the power to change the situation—who will be the final decision makers? • What are the barriers to your solution? • What resources do you have and what resources do you need but don’t have?

2. Research elements of the problem. • What has been done before—what is the history of this problem? • Who has worked on this problem before? • Have solutions been found for this problem elsewhere? • Does the League of Women Voters hold consensus positions on any element of this problem? • What laws, regulations, policies, and/or contracts apply to this problem and your solution? • Who enforces, or does not enforce, these laws, regulations, policies, contracts? • What benefits can you offer to recruit potential supporters?

3. Plan strategies for your campaign. • What allies can be recruited? • What activists can be recruited onto a committee? • How can community awareness be built? • List contacts: Media? Elected officials? Other stakeholders? • What resources for mediation or dispute resolution are available? • Are there legal avenues or courts with the appropriate jurisdiction?

4. Set each promotional activity with a delegated person in charge and a timeline.

CHOOSING AND SUPPORTING A CANDIDATE Decide what you care about and what characteristics you want in an elected official. • List your priority issues and the personal qualities you think are most important. • Rate your candidates on how closely their views and priorities match yours. • Remember that what they say is not as important as how they vote. • Examine the candidate’s campaign finances at www.pdc.wa.gov. • Choose to support or replace your elected official. Take action: • Back the candidate you believe in. • Talk to your friends and co-workers about your choice. • Dare to ask tough questions at meetings, candidates forums, rallies, and when a campaign worker rings your doorbell. • Phone TV and radio stations and newspapers to praise or criticize articles, advertising spots, and issues. • Be a letter writer. Tell your representatives, candidates, newspapers, and party leaders how you feel about the issues. • Voice your views on talk radio and use local blogs • Call out unfair campaign practices. Vote!

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR: Let your voice be heard! Part of civil discourse is letter writing. A well-crafted letter with supportive facts can help shape community opinion. Letter writers are most persuasive when they have done their homework. Do not rely only on your common sense and generalized knowledge; do some research, as well. Before you send that letter, contact agencies involved with your issue to confirm your understanding of the issue. When you have personal experience and expertise to bring to a hot issue, don’t hesitate to share it.
