Wilson CITY OF RENTCN Ann S. Nielsen MEMORANDUM Sasha P. Alessi JAN 2 9 2004 RECEIVED CITY CLERK'S OFFICE To: Bonnie Walton, City Clerk From: Lawrence J. Warren, City Attorney Date: January 28, 2004 Subject: Request for Code Amendment concerning Firemen's Pension Board Members By memo dated January 22, 2004, you indicate that there has been a request to change the City Code to allow the Firemen's Pension Board Members to be changed to substitute a member of the Finance Committee of the Council for the chairman of the Finance Committee. You then point to RCW 41.16.020 which requires one of the members to be "the Chairman of Finance of the City Council". You then inquire as to whether or not someone other than the Chair of the Finance Committee can serve on the Fireman's Pension Board. The obvious answer is the statute names a specific individual, that is, the Chairman of Finance of the City Council. One can take an expansive reading, however, and indicate that when the Chairman of the Finance Committee is unavailable, that the Vice-Chair is serving as the Chairman of the Finance Committee and thereby meeting the dictates of the statute. If we wrote the ordinance in such a fashion as to indicate that the Vice-Chair of the Finance Committee could serve in lieu of the Chair of the Finance Committee, but only when the Chair of the Finance Committee was unavailable, then I think we have satisfied the statute. Of course, others could take a more restrictive reading of this statutory section, but I believe that my reading is the better reading in that it allows the more efficient provision of governmental services. I also wonder who would complain about this common sense solution to a mino problem. C _ / Lawrence J.

In following through on this matter,I find that RCW 41.16.020, specifically states that the Chairman of Finance of the City Council must be one of the five Board members. (Copy of the RCW section is attached.) According to the RCW, if there were no Finance Committee Chairman, then the City Treasurer would serve in that position. Councilman Corman, as you know, is Chairman of the Finance Committee this year, and Councilman Law is a Finance Committee member. Because of the statute, it would appear that a City Code amendment request would not be in order, and that Councilman Law cannot serve on the Board in place of Councilman Corman, even at Councilman Corman's request or with Board approval. Is that correct? If so,I assume the only alternative for the Board is to change its meeting schedule to accommodate Councilman Corman's schedule so that he can attend and participate in the monthly Board meetings. Thank you in advance for your opinion on this matter, which will be reported back to the Board. attachment bw cc: Mayor Kathy Keolker-Wheeler Jay Covington, CAO %ISO -4) 41.16.010 Title 41 RCW: Public Employment, Civil Service, and Pensions the support of herself or himself or for his or her children. securities issued by the United States, state, municipal [1 [1973 1st ex.s. c 154§ 61; 1947 c 91 § 1; Rem.
