Commissioners, Director Koenings, and Deputy Director
Peck discussed recent activities and items of interest.
On the October 10, 2000 conference call, the Commission
reviewed and approved numerous items to be included
in the Department's 2001 Request Legislation. At that
time the Commission agreed with the Department's recommendation
not to include bill language to amend RCW 77.04.030,
Commission-- Appointment, to reflect the current process
used by the Governor of appointing three members to
the Commission each odd-numbered year, and instead the
Department would bring this issue to the attention of
the Governor's Office to determine appropriate action.
The Governor's Office has since determined that this
is not a governance issue and it should be included
in the Department's 2001 Request Legislation as a technical
correction. Deputy Director Peck will advise Commissioners
White and Cahill of the Governor's Office response,
and the Department will include this technical correction
in the Department's 2001 Request Legislation for submission
to the Office of Financial Management.
