Section 292-130-020. Agency description—Contact information—Public records officer.

(1) The executive ethics board was created by chapter 42.52 RCW to enforce the state's ethics law and rules adopted under it with respect to statewide elected officers and all other officers and employees in the executive branch, boards and commissions, and institutions of higher education.

The executive ethics board consists of five members, appointed by the governor as follows: One member shall be a classified service employee; one member shall be a state officer or state employee in an exempt position; one member shall be a citizen selected from a list of three names submitted by the attorney general; one member shall be a citizen selected from a list of three names submitted by the state auditor; and, one member shall be a citizen at large selected by the governor.

(2) Any person wishing to request access to public records of the executive ethics board, or seeking assistance in making such a request, should contact the public records officer of the executive ethics board:

Executive Director

Executive Ethics Board

2425 Bristol Court S.W.

P.O. Box 40149

Olympia, WA 98504-0149

360-664-0871

360-586-3955 (fax)

[e-mail]

Information and a request form is also available at the executive ethics board's web site at www.ethics.wa.gov. The office hours are 8:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday except legal holidays and during regularly scheduled board meetings.

(3) The public records officer will oversee compliance with the act but another executive ethics board staff member may process the request. Therefore, these rules will refer to the public records officer or "designee." The public records officer or designee and the executive ethics board will provide the "fullest assistance" to requestors; create and maintain for use by the public and executive ethics board officials an index to public records of the executive ethics board; ensure that public records are protected from damage or disorganization; and prevent fulfilling public records requests from causing excessive interference with essential functions of the executive ethics board.
