Re: Appointment to the Airport Advisory Committee
Dear Mr. Ratzlaff:
At the regular Council meeting of June 3, 2024, the Renton City Council concurred in your appointment by Mayor Armondo
Pavone to the Airport Advisory Committee (WA Pilots Association, Primary position), for a term expiring on May 7, 2027.
Congratulations on your appointment. Your service on the Airport Advisory Committee is sincerely appreciated and
valued by City officials and staff.
Effective July 1, 2014, every member of the governing body or public agency must complete Open Public Meetings Act
training within 90 days of taking the oath of office (if required) or assuming his or her duties as a public official. Refresher
training is required at intervals of no more than four years as long as the individual is a member of the governing body or
public agency (RCW 42.30.205). Washington State Attorney General Opinion 1986 No. 16 defines "governing body" to
include committees appointed by the governing body. Therefore, the City of Renton is interpreting that this regulation
applies to all boards and commission members.
We are requesting that all boards and commission members view a short training video provided by the Attorney
General’s Office:
• Please visit the City of Renton/City Clerk webpage; select/view “Lesson 1— Open Public Meetings Act.”
and “Lesson 2 — Public Records Act”
• After viewing these videos, please fill out a Certificate of OPMA Training form and submit no later than
August 4, 2024.
If I can provide additional information or assistance, please feel free to call.
Sincerely,
Jason Seth, MMC
City Clerk
