Good afternoon, I know many of you are hearing rumors and have questions regarding the governor’s plan in response to our state’s surge of COVID-19 cases. No new COVID restrictions are being announced tonight, but the governor will tell the public that such measures are actively under consideration. -The governor will say he does expect to announce early next week – potentially Monday – his decisions on what steps will be taken. - The governor’s staff have been reaching out to stakeholders in various sectors and industries for their input on proposals to restrict activities. As with previous restrictions, the goal is to reduce how often people are likely to come into contact with people from outside their household, limiting the spread, and preventing our health care system from being overwhelmed. -The governor will say people should change their plans for Thanksgiving gatherings right now, and all other gatherings, as well as holiday travel, emphasizing how crucial social responsibility will be for the next 4-6 weeks in containing COVID activity and avoiding exponential growth. Please tune in tonight at 5:30 on TVW to hear the governor’s address. We appreciate your partnership in continuing the fight against COVID-19.

Can we use REET 1 or 2 revenue for street and road preservation Officials and employees work? from eligible government agencies can use our free My Board would like to explore adding a consent agenda to our one-on-one inquiry service, board meetings. Do you have a guide or outline of how to do that Ask MRSC. and what a consent agenda should be used for? We are looking for a definition of "Lodging Tax Funds" at the county level. Our county receives hotel/motel special tax and Ask MRSC transient rental tax both (2% for each for a total of 4%). We believe that the Hotel/Motel Special Tax is considered lodging tax funds but are unsure on the transient rental tax. We are a small city and I get asked from citizens if they can vote on keeping our contract or starting our own city police force. Is there a way for citizens to vote on this topic? Scroll down to read the answers Is a resignation letter disclosable as a public record? Yes, a resignation letter is a public record that is subject to disclosure under the Public Records Act. There is no general exemption that would allow the city to withhold the letter. It’s possible there would be personal information exempt based on RCW 42.56.250(4) or potentially a privacy exemption under RCW 42.56.230 if there are unsubstantiated allegations included in the letter. You will want to review the content of any requested letter to see if there is any information that might fall within such an exemption. The city could also provide third party notice to the former employee who wrote the letter and/or anyone mentioned within the letter pursuant to RCW 42.56.540, if it felt such individuals would potentially want to seek an injunction preventing the letter’s release. Can we use REET 1 or 2 revenue for street and road preservation work? Yes, MRSC has consistently advised that this type of work would be an allowed use of REET funds. The definition of REET projects for both REET 1 (RCW 82.46.010) and 2 (RCW 82.46.035) read: Planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways, sidewalks, street and road lighting systems, traffic signals, bridges, domestic water systems, storm and sanitary sewer systems; Planning, acquisition, construction, reconstruction, repair, replacement, rehabilitation, or improvement of streets, roads, highways,
