RE: Open Public Meetings Act Training
Dear Ms.Anderson:
As of July 1, 2014,the State of Washington Attorney General's Office requires every
board/commission member complete the Open Public Meetings Act training within 90 days of
taking the oath of office/appointment, and to subsequently participate in refresher training at
intervals of no more than four years. At the conclusion of training, each member is required to
sign a "Certificate of Training" confirming they have completed the training. These certificates are
to be kept on file by the governing body. This is in accordance with RCW 42.30.205.
In order to comply with this regulation please take a few minutes to view the short training video
(approximately 16 minutes in length), sign the enclosed form and return it to our office by or
before March 1, 2020, by either U.S. mail, by e-mail to Jseth@rentonwa.gov or by fax to (425)
430-6516.
You may find the training video on the Washington State Attorney General's website at
http://www.atg.wa.gov/opengovernmenttraining.aspx and it is labeled as, "Lesson 3 Open Public
Meetings Act—RCW 42.30." If you do not have internet access or have questions or difficulty
linking to the video, please contact the City Clerk's office at(425)430-6510 and we can arrange
for you to come to our office to view the video. Please note that if we do not receive your signed
Certificate of Training prior to the March 1,2020 deadline,the city may suspend or terminate
your appointment to your board or commission.
Thank you for your attention to this request. The City of Renton values your service and the
expertise you provide to our boards and commissions. We look forward to helping you obtain this
important and state required training.
Sinc rely,
